Tables Not Clearing Appropriately...

Mar 5, 2007

Having issues with a table clearing out properly which is causing problems in the program.

By design there should only be one row in this table which updates with the most current record. However on this one system the table does not clear/update like it is supposed to, and instead starts adding multiple rows.

I have tried truncating the table but the problem does not resolve itself. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might be happening?

Thanks!

Look Back Through Records To Apply Funds Appropriately

Dec 19, 2011

I have a table holding transaction data: money owed / money paid. The vast majority link together, however, a small % do not. I need to apply money paid to money owed. I want to give the client the benefit of the doubt, while using some logic in the application of funds.

I know when the transactions occurred, so I decided to work from newest to oldest, applying available funds from any money paid that is newer than the money owed. When the process completes the look back for an account, there may be money paid left over. This is okay, as it could apply to money owed transactions prior to the look back period.

I have code in place to accomplish this. My problem is the amount of time the process takes to run. At the current pace, it will take well over a day to complete. Here is an example of what the data may look like for one account:

Code:
TranDate TranType Amount
01/05/2008Owed $50.00
01/24/2008Paid$75.00
04/15/2008 Owed $43.75
04/28/2008Paid $50.00
05/23/2008Owed$43.75
08/19/2008Owed $35.20
02/10/2009Paid$14.15
03/16/2009Paid $9.50
06/14/2009Owed $63.45
09/24/2009Paid$40.00

Here is what I want to accomplish:

Code:
OwedTranDateTtlOwed PaidTranDatePaidTranAmtPaidAmtAppliedPaidAmtRemainingOwedAmtRemaining
06/14/2009$63.4509/24/2009$40.00 $40.00$0.00$23.45
08/19/2008$35.2003/16/2009$9.50$9.50$0.00$25.70
08/19/2008$35.2002/10/2009$14.15$14.15$0.00$21.05
05/23/2008$43.75$43.75
04/15/2008$43.7504/28/2008$50.00$43.75$6.25$0.00
01/05/2008$50.0004/28/2008$6.25$6.25$0.00$43.75
01/05/2008$43.7501/24/2008$75.00$43.75$31.25$0.00

Here is the code to accomplish the look back:

Code:
DECLARE
@AcctNumDECIMAL(10,0),
@TranDateDECIMAL(8,0),
@TranSeqDECIMAL(4,0),
@TranODINT,
@TranTypeVARCHAR(20),
@TranAmtDECIMAL(7,2),

Master Data Services :: Clearing MDS Tables Of Data?

Jul 29, 2011

Everytime I run the load packages that I have built into the MDS staging the tables, in MDS_Staging, get cleared down and then repopulated. When the MDS database gets new data it appends it and does not clear down the data that is already in the database and is there fore hold duplicate rows.

Is there a way of truncating the tables in the MDS database before populating again with the new data from the MDS_Staging database so as to not hold duplicate rows?

Clearing Tempdb

Oct 7, 1999

We have a production sql server V6.5 sp5a (running on NT 4.0 sp3) that has a tempdb that is fulling up about every two weeks. (The log to tempdb is okay, it is not filling up). Tempdb is defined as 400 MB. I have been reading about "The two most common db errors"; 1) The db log ran out of space and 2) The db ran out of space. We are receiving "The db ran out of space." Once tempdb gets near full is there anyway to clear tempdb without rebooting the nt server? Is there a stored procedure that can be scheduled to free up tempdb?

My books tell me the tempdb is used for creating temporary tables or storing temporary information. For example, a temporary table in a stored procedure or sql may create a temporary work table as a result of a query with a 'group by' or 'order by' clause. If these tables are temporary why don't sql release them or free up the space used by tempdb?

Thanks in advance!

I have also run on it DBCC Checktable(Syslogs) but it all seems fine. Any help would be appreciated.

Clearing OutputBuffer

Feb 27, 2008



Hello All,

I am here again with a query.

In SQL SERVER 2000, there is a command DBCC OutputBuffer which returns the current output buffer in hexadecimal and ASCII format for the specified system process ID.


Is it so that everytime we execute a stored procedure the contents of the outputbuffer are automatically cleared so that the new contents are inserted into the outputbuffer ?

If it is not cleared then how can we clear this outputbuffer.

Thanks,

Clearing All Records In A Table

Apr 21, 2004

Hi

I have two questions:

1. Is there a way to clear all records in a table from within a store procedure? (Instead of having to go into the table and manually selecting all rows and deleting them that way.)

2. I want to sort a list of records so that the only one left are the ones with just single words in. So I have used


WHERE SearchText LIKE '% %'


to remove the cells with spaces in, but I need to be able to remove the ones with punctuation too. Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanking you in advance.

Clearing Out Tempdb Faster?

Feb 21, 1999

Hello:

We have been testing a new vendor_purchased application and are now
running some month-end processes/jobs now. One of the processes that we
kicked off stopped when a 2gb tempdb filled up with only 5mb or so remaini
g. In reviewing what happened, I noticed that tempdb is in the process of
clearing itself out slowly when we restarted the process. The database has
80% of its disk space remaining and the transaction log has also 75%
remaining.

My questions are:

1) Although I don't think so, is there nay way of speeding up the process
of tempdb clearing out the data in it?

2) We will need to examine what sql code the vendor has used that caused
this to happen. Aside from group by and order by, if there are a lot of
'select into' code, what alternatives do we have?

Any information that can be provided will be fine. THanks in advance.

Clearing Parameter Input

Sep 21, 2007

Hi everyone,
I have a question that I believe should be simple to answer yet I cannot find the answer anywhere. I am trying to make it possible for my report to clear the input box whenever the report is run or when anything in a dropdown list is selected. The reason why I want this is because my report has a dropdown list that inputs date ranges for "quick" report info. The other option is to manually type in the begin and end date. If anyone could help me out with this I would be very grateful.

Thanks,

Inconsistent Clearing Of Connection Pool

Jan 15, 2008

I'm opening a large number of connections to a SQL server 2005 database using a SQL object based on the System.Data.SqlClient library. When I log out of the application, I call the ClearSQLConnectionPool method of the SQL object and this should clear the pool of these connections. This has worked in the past, but lately I have noticed some odd and very annoying behaviour.Very often I log out of the application and few, if any of the connections disappear. Just this morning I opened the application, logged out and all but one of the connections disappeared. Then I opened it again, logged out and none of the connections had gone. If I open the application again all of the past connections are still there plus the new ones.I know it works, its just very inconsistent. The problem may be with IIS, SQL or with library; I just can't tell which.Any ideas?Many thanks

Clearing Exception In Catch Block

Sep 3, 2004

Is there any way to clear out the exception from a previous Try/Catch block if I am nesting another Try/Catch block within it. I am executing a SQL Command and based on the Error number coming back decide whether or not to execute various other Sql commands. Now the Outer exception seems to be taking precedence over the Inner try block, and even though the code is stepped through for the inner try block it is never executed due to the Parent Exception. Is there any way to clear the exception received from the outer Try block? Here is a snippet of code:


Try

Cmd = New SqlCommand(Sql, Con)

Cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()

Catch t as SqlException

if t.Number = "2601" then

sql_upd = "<Text>"

Try

Cmd_upd = New SqlCommand(Sql_upd, Con)

Cmd_upd.ExecuteNonQuery()

Catch b as Exception

response.write("<Text>")

End Try

End If

End Try

Clearing Multi-Value Parameter Choices

I am searching for a resolution. I did a few searches on this site and could not gain the exact answer. I apologize is this thread is a duplicate.

I have written a report containing Multi-Values for Reporting Services. When a user selects the values for the report parameters, the checked values continue to be selected after the report is completed.

Is there a way to clear these parameters?

Some of our users run the same report more than once during a single web session.

Target Conversation Endpoint Not Clearing Out

May 8, 2007

Hi There



I am ending conversations properly for a dialog, the end conversation at the target properly marks the conversation as closed in sys.conversation_endpoints and sends the EndDialog message to the initiator.

The initiator get the EndDialog message from the target and ends the conversation and it clears out of sys.conversation_endpoints.



I know that to avoid reply attacks that the conversation at the target will only clear out in 30 minutes.



However it has been a day now and the conversation is still sitting in sys.conversation_endpoints as CLOSED at the target.



How do i troubleshoot this ? Why is the conversation not clearing?



Thanx

Clearing Execution Plan Cache

Sep 6, 2007



Hi,
We have an application which fetches data from a table which has approximately 1 million records.


1. Nearly 25 users will be using this application concurrently.
2. frequent updations will be done to the records in the geographyrolecurriculum table.
3. This table has 1 clustered index and 4 nonclustered index bounded to it.

Problem Statement:
1. Application runs smoothly for 15 - 20 days and after that all the screens throws timeout errors.
When i clear the sys.syscacheobjects its working fine again and screens get loaded quickly.
Please tell me how clearing the syscacheobjects makes the execution fast? and is this the correct way to solve the timeout issue or is there any other alternative?


2. Will the stored procs timeout if the tempdb is full ?

Thanks,

Reporting Services :: SSRS 2008 Report Invalid Parameter Warning Not Clearing Out

Jul 16, 2015

I am using SSRS 2008 and the reports we have use parameters of type Date/Time.  The reports work well when the parameter values are entered correctly.

When entering an invalid date format for one of the Date/Time parameters the following error is displayed "The value provided for the report '<parameter name>' is not valid for its type. (rsReportParameterTypeMismatch).  This seems to be working correctly as well.  However, when the correct date format is then entered for the report parameter for which the report threw an error, the error persists and the report doesn't run again.  Setting the parameter to "NULL" doesn't work either.

The only way to get the report to run again is to refresh the entire report.  Of course, if at that point one has entered a bunch of other parameter values, those values all disappear.

Why Would Tables Pulled In From ODBC In Access Be Different Than Tables In SQL 2005 Tables?

Jan 24, 2008

I'm new to my company, although not new to SQL 2005 and I found something interesting. I don't have an ERD yet, and so I was asking a co-worker what table some data was in, they told me a table that is NOT in SQL Server 2005's list of tables, views or synonyms.

I thought that was strange, and so I searched over and over again and still I couldn't find it. Then I did a select statement the table that Access thinks exists and SQL Server does not show and to my shock, the select statement pulled in data!

So how did this happen? How can I find the object in SSMS folder listing of tables/views or whatever and what am I overlooking?

Thanks,

Track The Changes To Normalised Tables And Update The Denormalised Tables Depending On The Changes To Normalised Tables

Dec 7, 2006

We have 20 -30 normalized tables in our dartabase . Also we have 4tables where we store the calculated data fron those normalised tables.The Reason we have these 4 denormalised tables is when we try to dothe calcultion on the fly, our site becomes very slow. So We haveprecalculated and stored it in 4 tables.The Process we use to do the precalcultion, will get do thecalculation and and store it in a temp table. It will compare the thetemp with denormalised tables and insert new rows , delte the old oneans update if any changes.This process take about 20 mins - 60mins. Ittakes long time because in this process we first do the calculationregardless of changes and then do a compare to see what are changed andremove if any rows are deleted, and insert new rowsand update thechanges.Now we like to capture the rows/columns changed in the normalisedtables and do only those chages to the denormalised table , which weare hoping will reduce the processing time by atleast 50%WE have upgraded to SQL SERVER 2005.So We like to use the newtechnology for this process.I have to design the a model to capture the changes and updated onlythose changes.I have the list of normalised tables and te columns which will affectthe end results.I thought of using Triggers or OUTPUT clause to capture the changes.Please help me with the any ideas how to design the new process

Can I Export Tables So That Existing Tables In Destination Database Will Be Modified?

Jul 20, 2005

I'm working on an ASP.Net project where I want to test code on a localmachine using a local database as a back-end, and then export it tothe production machine where it uses the hosting provider's SQL Serverdatabase on the back-end. Is there a way to export tables from oneSQL Server database to another in such a way that if a table alreadyexists in the destination database, it will be updated to reflect thechanges to the local table, without existing data in the destinationtable being lost? e.g. suppose I change some tables in my localdatabase by adding new fields. Can I "export" these changes to thedestination database so that the new fields will be added to thedestination tables (and filled in with default values), without losingdata in the destination tables?If I run the DTS Import/Export Wizard that comes with SQL Server andchoose "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the source database" and choosethe tables I want to copy, there is apparently no option *not* to copythe data, and since I don't want to copy the data, that choice doesn'twork. If instead of "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the sourcedatabase", I choose "Copy objects and data between SQL Serverdatabases", then on the following options I can uncheck the "CopyData" box to prevent data being copied. But for the "CreateDestination Objects" choices, I have to uncheck "Drop destinationobjects first" since I don't want to lose the existing data. But whenI uncheck that and try to do the copy, I get collisions between theproperties of the local table and the existing destination table,e.g.:"Table 'wbuser' already has a primary key defined on it."Is there no way to do what I want using the DTS Import/Export Wizard?Can it be done some other way?-Bennett

Saving Tables That Are Generated By Queries As HTML File Or Sub-tables

Oct 17, 2006

I have a trade data tables (about 10) and I need to retrieve information based on input parameters. Each table has about 3-4 million rows.

The table has columns like Commodity, Unit, Quantity, Value, Month, Country

A typical query I use to select data is "Select top 10 commodity , sum(value), sum(quantity) , column4, column5, column6 from table where month=xx and country=xxxx"

The column4 = (column2)/(total sum of value) and column 5=(column3)/(total sum of quantity). Column6=column5/column4.

It takes about 3-4 minutes for the query to complete and its a lot of time specially since I need to pull this information from a webpage.

I wanted to know if there is an alternate way to pull the data from server ?

I mean can I write a script that creates tables for all the input combinations i.e month x country (12x228) and save them in table (subtable-table) with a naming convention so from the web I can just pull the table with input parameters mapped to name convention and not running any runtime queries on database ??

OR

Can I write a script that creates a html files for each table for all input combinations save them ?

OR

Is there exists any other solution ?
