Using Muliple Smaller SPs And Functions Better Than Using 1 Big SP?
Dec 9, 2005Is it generally or almost always better to have multiplesmall SPs and functions to return a result set instead ofusing a single big 1000+ lines SP?I have one SP for example that is 1000+ lines and earlyanalysis of the SP I see it first has 3 big blocks of codeseparated by IF statements. Then within each IF blockof code I see 3-4 UNIONs. UNIONs that meansthey are all returning the same columns so I amguessing these are prime candidates for becomingindividual functions or SPs, maybe even dynamic SPs.Obviously I am not showing you the code but am Iright to think this way? This same SP has about 15 JOINsincluding some LEFT JOINs and one LEFT JOIN to a (SELECTstatement) and almost all the tables referenced by theseJOINs have thousands of records, very possibly hundreds ofthousands.The SELECT statement is returning 30-40 columns froma lot of the these tables plus I also see a lot of CASE ELSEstatements within the main SELECT statement. The code ofeach CASE statement is calling a function. As an exampleif the CASE is for EmployeeID then a function is being calledto get the EmployeeID's FirstName and LastName. If the CASEis for CustomerID then another function is being called to getthe Customer Name.I am thinking to cut this big SP to many smaller SPs and/or functionsand I also plan on using table variable(s) to hold temporary resultwhile I continue processing the records from the table variablewith other code logic.Also I want to leave as the last thing to do is to convert the"machine result", i.e. EmployeeID or CustomerID to "humanreadable result", i.e. Employee FirstName and LastName,Customer Name.I am trying to test this on the Northwind's Employees table,but the Statistics IO, Time and the Execution Plan aresomething I've only started to use. I am unable to makeconclusion which method is better. I'll work on posting anotherpost specifically with details to this test that I am currently doing.My opinion is that by having 1 single SP with 15+ join causea lot more locking than if I would run smaller SPs and store theresult into temp table variables and continue processing theremaining code logic.I would like to know what you think and if I am right or wrongon how I want to optimize this SP?Thank you

I ran the following code on one of our servers and I got some surprising results. Those results included backups for that machine but also showed entries for other servers. I don't understand it!

It appears that the entries are "correct" in that backups were taken on the other server at the time given, but why is it there??? (I put the code together to list the most recent backup for each database on the instance. I hope it is correct.)

I am transfering 2 table between 2 SQL server based on GrpRID from table2.
Since RID is identity in table1 sometimes it is different text for spesific
Rid in second server. Some how I need to get the match the right text from server1
to server2 and if text doesn't exists create a bew entry in table1 with the update to table2
wich should reflect correct RID.

Moving Data Tables Between SQL Servers
Jul 20, 2005I have user that we just migrated his Access database to SQLServer. All went well with the migration, but then he came up withanother requirement to be able to replicate the database to a localSQL server living on the hard drive of a laptop. Before the migrationhe just copied the entire Access databse to the lap top.I tried using the Copy SQL Server Objects Task to move thenecessary tables from the production server to the laptop, but noticedit doesn't copy over the table Indexes/keys identiy fields etc. Iended up backing up the production database and restoring it to thelaptop database, but wondered if there is any way to move the tables,with their properties from one server to another? I know I can setup the backup process to run as scheduled, but the problem is the dataneeds to be moved on an irregular time table. I thought about justwriting code on the remaining Access front end to empty the localtables and then query the data from the production side to reloadthem, but I'm sure there's an easier way.Any suggestions would be appreciated.Thanks,Tom

Comparing Tables In Different Servers (EXCEPT/INTERSECT)
Nov 14, 2007Hi people!!!
First I'll introduce my situation.
I have the folowing tables:
1.- Table "Codes", DataBase "COD", server 1001
2.- Table "Codes", DataBase "COD", server 1002
Both servers run SQL Server 2000 Edition.
What i need to perform is a check that compares the data stored in both tables in order to know if there is any difference between them. Of course, the structure of both tables are the same.
I use the SP sp_addlinkedserver to link the servers, but the problem is that EXCEPT and INTERSECT didn't work.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks,

Question About Linked Servers And Access Tables
Jan 7, 2005Having a little problem with linking to Access tables. I have an Access database that has in it, some linked tables. After setting up the linked server in SQL server, none of the linked tables in Access show up, only the tables that were created or imported show up.
Is there anything you can do to get the linked tables in Access to show up under the tables list in the SQL linked server?
SELECT Rowguidcol From Tables On Linked Servers?
Apr 25, 2008I've run into the following problem using "select rowguidcol from [LinkedServer].[DBName].dbo.MyTable" (as opposed to using "select <rowguid column name>...".
Against a locally-connected database, the following SQL command works as expected:
SELECT rowguidcol from dbo.MyTable
However, If I run the same query against a linked server (using the 4-part notation), it fails with an 'Invalid column name 'rowguidcol'' error:
SELECT rowguidcol from [LinkedServer].[MyDB].dbo.MyTable
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid column name 'rowguidcol'.
I've searched around but can't seem to find any info that tells me definitively that I can't use rowguidcol against linked tables, so I'm wondering if I'm just doing something wrong?
Any ideas on how to get around this issue would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to use actual column names, as this is for generated scripts.
More Info:
> I can select the data just fine from the linked server if I use the column name - so I don't think it's a configuration or permissions issue.
> The row I'm trying to view is, in fact, a rowguidcol. I used the exact same script to create the table on both the local (where select rowguidcol works) and the linked (where it doesn't) servers.
> Both servers are MS SQL 2005 Standard with SP2

SSIS: JOINING TABLES FROM TWO SERVERS - BETTER WAY THAN SORT -&&> MERGE JOIN?
Jan 20, 2006Setup:
I need to run an Insert query which pulls data from a table located on server A database AA Table AAA conditional on (or JOINED with) Table BBB in database BB sever B. In SQL 2000 it could be done as:
From Server A:
sp_addlinkedserver B
INSERT dbo.ResultsTable
SELECT SourceTable.* FROM B.BB.dbo.BBB SourceTable
INNER JOIN A.AA.dbo.AAA ConditionTable ON SourceTable.RecID = ConditionTable.RecID
sp_dropserver B
In SSIS one of the possible solutions is to use a package which does the following:
OPEN A + OPEN B-> SORT A + SORT B->MERGE JOIN A and B->OUTPUT RESULT
The problem with this approach is that it's extremely slow for large datafiles (50M records each)
Questions:
1) In the procedure above could the SORT step be avoided?
2) Is there another approach to run cross-servers JOIN in SSIS?
Thank you
Combine Tables From 2 SQL Servers With Different Schemas And Update As New Data Is Entered
Mar 28, 2008I have 2 SQL server 2000 machines, I need to take a table from each one and combine them together based on a date time stamp. The first machine has a database that records information based on an event it is given a timestamp the value of variable is stored and a few other fields are stored in Table A. The second machine Table B has test data entered in a lab scenario. This is a manufacturing facility so the Table A data is recorded by means of a third party software. Whenever a sample is taken in the plant the event for Table A is triggered and recorded in the table. The test data may be entered on that sample in Table B several hours later the lab technician records the time that the sample was taken in Table B but it is not exact to match with the timestamp in Table A. I need to combine each of these tables into a new SQL server 2005 database on a new machine. After combining the tables which I am assuming I can based on a query that looks at the timestamp on both Tables A & B and match the rows up based on the closest timestamp. I need to continuously update these tables with the new data as it comes in. I havent worked with SQL for a couple of years and have looked at several ways to complete this task but havent had much luck. I have researched linked servers, SSIS, etc Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sql Report Works Fine On Internal Servers - Hosed On External Servers - Need Some Help
Nov 21, 2007I have a report that was designed using SQL Reporting Services that sits on a SQL reporting server. It's nothing too exciting, it is essentially a three page application with legal jumbo on pages 2 and 3 and applicant data in fields on page 1.
We use rectangles to force page breaks to page 2 and to page 3.
When running the report on the report server, it shows and prints fine.
When running the report from the QA website internally, it shows and prints just fine.
When running the report from the production website from a machine internally, it shows and prints just fine.
When running the report from outside of the company network, the report is jacked. It obliterates large chunks of text, crams text together, and creates blank pages.
