Table Comparision
Aug 15, 2000I need to compare two tables and output everything that doesn't match.
The tables are joined by the "domainname" column, and I need to output everything in both tables where the "domainname" doesn't match.
Any ideas?
Create Target Table Dynamically Based On Source Table Schema?
Sep 13, 2005I’ve got a situation where the columns in a table we’re grabbing from a source database keep changing as we need more information from that database. As new columns are added to the source table, I would like to dynamically look for those new columns and add them to our local database’s schema if new ones exist. We’re dropping and creating our target db table each time right now based on a pre-defined known schema, but what we really want is to drop and recreate it based on a dynamic schema, and then import all of the records from the source table to ours.It looks like a starting point might be EXEC sp_columns_rowset 'tablename' and then creating some kind of dynamic SQL statement based on that. However, I'm hoping someone might have a resource that already handles this that they might be able to steer me towards.Sincerely,
Bryan Ax

May 3, 2008I am using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. One table contains field docdate having format dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:yyyy. Here hours & mins are also required.
I am working on VB6.0. User will input date on form in format 'dd/MM/yyyy'. I just want to check this with SQL Server date considering only dd/MM/yyyy.
How to do this?
Database Comparision
Dec 22, 2006Language : VB.NET
Database : MSSQLserver2000
i have developed a tool to compare two databases, but it is taking long time to compare. First it will take the whole table into main memory(order by primary key). Same procedure for table2 of second database. Then it will start comparison by taking row by row. i tested with one third party tool, which is taking only 2 min to compare 800000 records of a table. My tool is taking 1 hour,40 mins to do that. Is there any other optimized method?

Tempoary Table Question - How To Create One With The Same Schema As An Existing Table?
Jul 28, 2006Hello,
I'd like to create a temporary table with the same schema as an exiting table. How can I do this without hard coding the column definitions into the temporary table definition?
I'd like to do something like:
CREATE TABLE #tempTable LIKE anotherTable
..instead of...
CREATE TABLE #tempTable (id INT PRIMARY KEY, created DATETIME NULL etc...
I'm sure there must be a simple way to do this!
Many thanks,

Query Performance Comparision
Jan 19, 2000How could I tell the performance difference between two queries:
One is:
select * from table
where Lower(colomnname) = 'value'
The other is:
select * from table
where colomnname = 'value'
Basically the difference is in lower() function, how much this function will affect the query performance.
Is there a formal way to test it out, or by any logic.
Thanks, Mike

Case Sensitive String Comparision ??
May 2, 2008Dear all,
I have building an authitication mecanism through a database standard login table as :
UserName varchar
PassWord varchar
UserId Identity
From my client application I need to validate the username and the password.
For that I have a store procedure with the following statement :
SELECT @loginID = Id from [NomosConfig].[dbo].Users
WHERE [UserName]=@UserName
AND [PassWord] = @pw
From that point this works well except that for the passowrd, whre of course there will be no difference between:
PassWor = myPassw or MYPASSW
How can I check in password field in order that it is case sensitive....?
Later on, the password will be encrypted of course, will it behaves similar ?
thnaks for help

Comparision Of SSRS With Crystal Reports
Apr 23, 2008
1) Crystal Reports provides extensive parameter support. The types of parameters supported are: single value, multi-value, and range value (e.g. Start date to End date), or a combination of all three.
2) SSRS parameters only support entry of a single value. It doesn't support multi-value parameters or range parameters. For example, the user can't be presented with a list of Employees and select more than one for reporting on. Doing so requires writing custom code and writing more complex SQL queries
Update SQL Column With Comparision Between Last And Current Records
Jun 13, 2006My question is concerned with the three columns below (customerID, RepairDate, CompletedRepair (Yes or No). The column name "CompletedRepair " is blank initially. I need to update the CompletedRepair column with this logic below:
- A customer comes to our store to fix their car, if we fix their problem on the first time and they don’t return later for this same issue, then the
•CompletedRepair column = Y
- If a customer needs to come back to our store to re-fix the same issue within 7 days windows based on the RepairDate on the previous transaction then
•On the last return transaction: CompletedRepair = Y (example: RepairDate =6/12/2006)
•On all previous transactions: CompletedRepair = N (example: RepairDate =6/8/2006, 6/9/2006, 6/10/2006)
- If a customer needs to come back to our store to re-fix the same issue but out of the 7 days windows based on the RepairDate then
•On the last return transaction: CompletedRepair = Y (RepairDate =6/12/2006)
•On the previous transaction: CompletedRepair = Y (RepairDate =6/1/2006)
Every time customer comes to for car repair shop for a new issue or an old issue, we create a new repair transaction in our SQL db. The update on the "CompletedRepair " column will be run every day. Today's records will be run against with last 7 days records (based on Repair Date) to check when customer has been really fixed: the last fix counted Y, the previous fix counted as N but comparison in only 7 days. In other words, a repair today is considered as a completed repair when comparing with last 7 day repairs but it might become not a completed repair if this same customer would come back within next 7 days for the same issue.
The CompletedRepair column is dynamic column and is updated daily by using the logic above.
Below is the expected outcome after we update the Completed Repair column:
CustomerID Repair DateCompleted Repair
ab1 06/12/06 Y
ab1 05/28/06 Y
ab1 05/18/06 Y
ab105/15/06 N
ab1 05/12/06 N
Initially 5/12/06 had Y, when 5/15/06 transaction came, it took the Y and made the 5/12/06 become N. The 5/18/06 transaction did the same to 5/15/06 transaction, made itself Y and converted 5/15/06 into N. The 5/28/06 is Y because comparing with 5/18/06, it is out of 7 days window. The 6/12/2006 is Y because comparing with 5/28/06, it is out of 7 days window.
ab2 06/02/06 Y
ab2 05/28/06 N
ab2 04/19/06 Y
ab2 04/14/06 N
The 4/14/06 transaction initially was Y, it became N when new transaction on 4/19/06 came. Same thing with transactions on 5/28/06 and 6/2/06
ab3 05/11/06 Y
ab3 03/29/06 Y
ab3 03/23/06 N
ab3 03/12/06 Y
The 3/23/06 was Y, when new transaction on 3/29/06 came, it became N and the new transaction is Y. The 5/11/06 is Y because comparing back to 3/29/06, they are out of 7 days window.
ab4 05/11/06 Y
This ab4 customer came to fix her car only one time and don't come back. We supposed the fix was sucessfully and so we mark the CompletedRepair as Y.
I think that I would need to use SQL cursor or case statement for this but I really don't know how to start. Please advice and help me out. Any ideas and suggestion are really appreciated! If you need more information, please let me know!
Thank you!

Performance Comparision - Stored Procedures VS SQL (Inside SSIS)
Mar 23, 2007I am working on a technical design of data integration ETL package which will be moving data from SQL Server Source to DB2 destination. I currently have two options, when moving data to DB2(IBM AS400). I can call a AS400 Stored Procedure, and pass in the data to the stored procedure, and perform the insert processing within the AS400 environment or I could do inserts from SSIS in a DFT and write individually to AS400 tables. My question is from a performance and good practice perspective, which method should I move forward with. I need a possible list of pros- and cons when using AS400 Sproc vs using SQL within SSIS? I would really appreciate response from individuals who have done something similar in the past. Thanks a lot and I am really looking forward to responses.
Getting Table Schema
Jan 15, 2007Hi

Table Schema
Jan 11, 2004Hey,
I'm looking at creating a table in a stored procedure
[declare @tempTable table]
however, rather than then declaring the tables schema
[declare @tempTable table (pkField IDENTITY (1,1), SomeOtherField varchar(50), ...)]
I'd like it to simply use the schema of an already existing table (plus an additional column).
Is there a way to do this without having to manually write the table schema?
A simple example is:
I have a table
OriginalTable (idCol, NameCol, InfoCol)
I'd like to create a temp instance of that table called tempTable which would have a final schema of
tempTable (idCol, NameCol, InfoCol, myTempCol)
The reason I'd like to do this using the schema is so that I don't need to update all my procedures in the future when we decide to add some more detail to the originaltable which needs to be selected as well.
Thanks a lot for any help or direction you can provide.

Moving A Table To A Different Schema
Aug 27, 2012We currently have all tables in the dbo schema, but for organizational reason we would like to split them up in multiple schemas and I wonder if that can be done without re-creating the tables.
So my question is, is there a way to move a table into a different schema without re-creating it? (For those familiar with Postgres I'm looking for an equivalent to "ALTER TABLE foo SET SCHEMA newschema") sp_rename only allows a "one-part name" for the new name, so apparently that cannot be used.

View 4 Replies View RelatedTable Schema Problem!!
Jun 4, 2008Hi,
I am a bit confused and wish to share this with you for help. We are designing a billing application to bill telephone calls. It currently handles a single rate plan. So what it does is that it looks up the RATES table and matches the called number area code with the RATES.ACCESS_Code field to find the tariff for that area and multiplies that by the number of minutes. Here is the current schema.
CALLS
•ID (pkid)
•Called Number
•Duration
RATES
•Destination Name
•Access_Code (pkid)
•Tariff
Now the problem is that we need to process calls based on RATES per OPERATOR. Each operator is a telephony carrier with similar RATES. However, each call will be prefixed with a number to indicate which operator carried that call. Accordingly, the database should relate that prefix with the proper operator and then looks up the RATES that are related to that operator.
In conclusion we will have a replica of the RATES table for multiple operators. An operator is only supposed to have two fields I guess (name and ID).
So now we need to re-engineer the schema to adapt to this situation.
Eg. 95004433313445 (Will be identified as BT operator)
93004422376234 (Will be identified as AT&T operator)
Can anyone help please?
PS: we are using SQL Express 2005
Thanks

Large Table Schema Changes
Jul 20, 2005Quick question:Does SQL do table/schema changes "in place"?I've got a large table (140+ million rows of very widedata) that we want to change the schema on -- basicallyto remove a number of the unused data elements that wedon't use.Anyway, does anyone know if SQL will do an in-placechange, or if it will copy the table to a new table, therebyincreasing my space allocation needs? I'd effectively,temporarily, need space for two tables while the changeis happening if it copies the table first. This is not good asI do not have enough available space at the moment.If you've got pointers to specific MS docs regardingthis issue, please let me have 'em.Thanks in advance.
