The Query And The Views Or Functions In It Exceed The Limit Of 256 Tables.

Feb 22, 2007

Yes, I do know what this means and why the error is thrown but this is not my question.

I have two servers that are both running Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 200 SP3. Below are the results from both servers using @@version

Sever 1 (BB)

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.760 (Intel X86)
Dec 17 2002 14:22:05
Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation
Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 1)

Server 2 (Genesis)

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.760 (Intel X86)
Dec 17 2002 14:22:05
Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation
Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 1)

These servers are identical or so it seems. I've got a real ugly query that uses views and a derived table to get results. The problem is the 256 limit message only comes up on one server and on the other (Genesis) the query runs fine. I get the error though it reads a 260 limit on a box with SP4 applied. I've also run the query on a box that is Windows 2003, sql2k and sp4 and the query runs but not on a similar server here. This is all very odd. Please note that the database structure, views, etc are all exactly the same as far as I know.

Any suggestions? There seems to be no pattern between versions of Windows and/or SP levels.

Programmatically Extract Stored Procedures, Views, Tables, And Functions

May 21, 2008



Hi Folks,


I am writing a program that transforms a generic MS SQL database to make it compatible with our application. In order to make the transformation, I have to access all the elements of the generic database programmatically.

I know that the Master database contains all this information. Is there a query that allows me to access the "non-system" tables, sps, views, and functions?

For Tables, I need to know the Name(s) of the tables, the column names, the column type, ALLOW Nulls, Primary Key, Identity Seed settings, and Triggers.

For SPs, I need to know the Name(s) and access the SP source code (assuming it's unencrypted).

For Views, I need to know the Name(s) and access the Views Source

For functions, I need to know the Name(s) and access the function source.


I can see various tables in the Master database from management studio, like sys.objects, sys.tables - which look like they have the info I need. However, when I run a query against master like:

select * from sys.objects .. I get an error:

Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name 'sys.objects'.



Thank you in advance.

The data I am pulling is correct I just cant figure out how to order by the last 8 numbers that is my NUMBER column.

Using Scalar Functions In Views

Sep 19, 2007

I have a view that contains a complex query. A few of the columnscall a function that returns a specific output. I also use a functionto do a join as well.For example:SELECT l.ID, dbo.getStatus(l.ID) AS statusIDFROM tableName ALEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Status_LKP s ON dbo.getStatus(l.Leg_ID) =s.statusIDFor 800 records, this query takes about 9 seconds. I realize that foreach record, the function is executed on a per row basis, so I amlooking for alternatives.Does anyone know of other ways to accomplish something of the same?Basically I would like to include UDFs in a query and use those UDFsin the where and join clauses.Thanks

Views Or Table Valued Functions?

Hi I am writting Stored Procedures that have to be built on the base of other tables specially created for this purpose, is it better to create these intermediate tables as views or as functions returning tables?

Hello:

Is it possible to standardize sql views or functions to filter data for the user, before they view the report? For example if I have a SQL view that filters for "green, cotton-made socks", can this somehow be an option among others before a user presses "view report?"

A response is greatly appreciated. If this is possible, how ?

Design Question: Nested Views And Functions?

Jul 23, 2005

I am working in a project where the business model is complex enoughthat many common retrieval functions become difficult to develop andmaintain in single query statements or functions.I have found the logic is easier to implement (and later modify whenthe code is no longer freshly remembered), by implementing theprocessing layers in nested views, and functions that callsub-functions (UDFs), not too unlike object based programming ornon-DBMS procedural languages. In some cases, the views and functionsare nested three deep.So far, from a design standpoint, this practice is working very well.Code that would be a recusive mess is reduced to two or three simplercode blocks. With the proper indexing and query structure, performanceseems to be satisfactory (time will tell).In MS SQL Server, is there anything which makes this practice unsound?Examples:CREATE VIEW vw2 AS SELECT * FROM tbl1 WHERE ...CREATE VIEW vw3 AS SELECT * FROM vw2 WHERE ...Application uses: SELECT * FROM vw3-or-CREATE FUNCTION udf2 AS SELECT * FROM tbl1 WHERE ...CREATE FUNCTION udf3 AS SELECT * FROM udf2 WHERE ...Application uses: SELECT udf3(param) AS value

Do You Replicate Views, Stored Procedures, And User Functions?

Jul 22, 2007

Greetings,



We have recently begun using transactional replication to keep the data in our SQL Servers synchronized in a geographically dispersed environment. We replicate our tables but we have never replicated views, stored procedures, or user functions in our production systems. We are thinking of doing so but wonder if the overhead of running the replication agents doesn't outweigh the benefits of having replication assist with the occassional change to these design elements.



Is anyone on this forum replicating views, sprocs, and user functions? What has your experience been?



Thanks for any ideas that you share.

Limit On Nested Tables

Sep 14, 2007



I have a decision tree mining model that has two nested tables and that amount of inputs processes in under a minute. When I add a third nested table in what I think is exactly the same way (I've tried two different ones), it never returns from counting the cases. Is there a limit on the number of nested tables one can have in a DT model? It does process the rest of the objects and measure groups but can never seem to return from counting cases, perpetually showing "Counting Cases 0".

I should probably add that the only way to stop it from processing after it hangs for 5 mins or 5 hours is to stop and start the service. After I remove a nested table and replace it with one of the new ones, it flies right through again. Something seems magical about the third nested table.

Thanks!

Aggregate Functions In Multiple Tables

Jan 12, 2007

Hi, need help in this statement here. I have three tables here, i.e. Sales, SalesItem, & SalesPmt. I want to display a grid that shows the Total Bill and Total Payment amounts.
My try is like this: SELECT SalesNo, SUM(Price*Qty) AS TotalBill, SUM(Payment) AS TotalPayment FROM ... GROUP BY....
No syntax error or whatever found, but the result of the total amounts is incorrect.
Say the data of the respective table below:
SalesItem



No
Qty
Price

1
1
5.00

2
2
12.00

3
4
3.50
SalesPayment



No
Amount

1
10.00

2
5.00
But the result I get from the above query is:



TotalBill
TotalPayment

86.00
45.00
Total Bill should be 43.00 and Total Payment should be 15.00.
Apparently the problem is due to the fact that I and querying on multiple tables. The correct total payment amount was multiplied by the number of rows of sales items (15.00 x 3), while the correct total bill amount was multiplied by the number of rows of sale payments (43.00 x 2).
So, what is the better way of writing this query?

Views Vs. Tables

Aug 24, 2000

Are views used for securiry reasons, such as restricting access to certain columns/rows or is there performance advantages to using views. There is disagreement in my dept.

I created the following view PAYACTIVE:

Select * FROM PAYMENTS WHERE STATUS = 'ACTIVE'

The PAYACTIVE view contains 260 rows. The PAYMENTS table contains over 2 million rows. I executed the following commands:

Select * FROM PAYACTIVE

Select * FROM PAYMENTS WHERE STATUS = 'ACTIVE'

They seem to take the exact same amount of time. In other words, selecting from the view seemed to not help performance. Am I conducting a valid test?

256 Tables In Views

Aug 30, 2005

I have a SQL script that I attempted to write into a view. If I run the script in SQL Query Analyzer it works perfectly. When I attempt to run execute as a view I receive the following error message: "[MS][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] The query and the views or function in it exceeded the limit of 256 tables."

My objective is to use the recordset from the view to create a crystal report but have been unable to replicate the "query" effect directly in crystal. (unfortunately I am also a new crystal user)

All my searches have been fruitless. I remember seeing something about SQL Server 2000 supporting 1000 tables and older versions supporting 256 in an Access forum but have not been able to find that thread a second time.

Any provided solution would be greatly appreciated. (I am getting tired of hearing the "gears" in my head grinding. Is smoke from the ears normal?)

SELECT SubID, SubMenuDesc, ItemID, ItemDesc, 0 AS ModID, 'n/a' AS ModDesc, round(ItemPrice/100,2) as ItemPrice
FROM vwSubMenuNorm
WHERE (ItemPrice <> 0)

UNION
SELECT vwSubMenuNorm.SubID, vwSubMenuNorm.SubMenuDesc, vwSubMenuNorm.ItemID, vwSubMenuNorm.ItemDesc, vwModifiersNorm.ItemID AS ModID,
vwModifiersNorm.ItemDesc AS ModDesc, round(vwModifiersNorm.ItemPrice/100,2) as ItemPrice
FROM vwSubMenuNorm INNER JOIN
vwItemNorm ON vwSubMenuNorm.ItemID = vwItemNorm.ID INNER JOIN
vwModifiersNorm ON vwItemNorm.MOD1 = vwModifiersNorm.ModID
WHERE (vwSubMenuNorm.ItemPrice = 0) AND (vwModifiersNorm.ItemPrice <> 0)

UNION
SELECT vwSubMenuNorm.SubID, vwSubMenuNorm.SubMenuDesc, vwSubMenuNorm.ItemID, vwSubMenuNorm.ItemDesc, vwModifiersNorm.ItemID AS ModID,
vwModifiersNorm.ItemDesc AS ModDesc, ROUND((vwSubMenuNorm.ItemPrice + vwModifiersNorm.ItemPrice)/100, 2) AS ItemPrice
FROM vwSubMenuNorm INNER JOIN
vwItemNorm ON vwSubMenuNorm.ItemID = vwItemNorm.ID INNER JOIN
vwModifiersNorm ON vwItemNorm.MOD1 = vwModifiersNorm.ModID
WHERE (vwSubMenuNorm.ItemPrice <> 0) AND (vwModifiersNorm.ItemPrice <> 0)
