Copying 4 Million Rows Everyday
Mar 21, 2000In our database, we have a very large table that gets updated every morning, start of the day is copying 4 million rows from the fact table from previous date to today's date in the same table and then some other processing. It takes 1 1/2 to 2 hrs to do this. There is a dts package created to copy these rows into temp table and then to this fact table.
This table has more than 200 million rows
Any ideas on how to accomplish this without doing the copy twice and not running into locking problems.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Security Tips
Dec 20, 2006Dear all,I'm designing a system including the database and the securityrepresents the most crucial aspect of the system; hence for thedatabase security i have implemented the following aspects and needyour advise on further aspects or perhaps corrections where by thesystem is web based using asp.net and under iis 6.0 with https; in theasp.net engine side, i have included client-side validations for whatever is inputed and validated against sql injections for postbackforms:The features of security in SQL Server 2005 side i have implemented:1.) Created MACHINEASPNET Account2.) Allowed ASPNET Account to access the DB3.) Explicity denied ASPNET Account all permissions to all tables,functions and views4.) Denied all permissions to the ASPNET user for stored proceduresexcept EXECUTE permissions5.) By Stored procedure creation, WITH ENCRYPTION, EXECUTE AS'MACHINEASPNET' was usedNo SQL was included in the asp.net code except for calling storedproccedures; the policy is to only call stored procedures within theasp.net pages and encrypt the connection strings inside the web.configfile.Kindly, give me some guidelines for better security or discuss with methe security aspects i mentionedRegards

View 1 Replies View RelatedReplication Troubleshooting Tips
Jan 6, 1999Hi all:
I'm new to replication but I have already set up replication and have seen it
working and failing and have gotten myself out of jams so far but there must
be an easy way to administer it when things don't replicate as expected. I'm
finding that I could easily kill half a day just trying to dig up
information leading to troubleshooting tips. Is there documentation just on
managing this feature. The regular MS Administrator's guide doesn't offer much.
Currently I have a problem that if replication fails on one command I get a
SQL Mail telling me of the problem but does replication continue to the next
command or does it just stop until the problem is fixed? I'm finding that I am
constantly checking the publisher and subscriber databases and verifying if
replication is indeed doing what the msjob_commands table reports. I set the
batch to commit after each transaction instead of every 100.

Updates Are Blocking.Tips Welcome
Nov 26, 2007Hello,
We come accross situations where people are running big updates on the database (i.e. 50.000 updates).
Our problem is that those big updates are blocking other user updates.
Thanks to snapshot isolation, users can query (select) the database with no lock.
We rebuilt the indexes setting that the indexes used by the update procedure would not use page locks and only row locks.
We set that the database would update the statistics asynchronously.
Now we are still facing blockings and we would like to optimize the database to avoid those blockings.
What else could we check? Any tips regarding the way to avoid that problem is really welcome.
Thanks,
Olivier

Is There A Good Website With SQL Index Tips?
Aug 27, 2004I've created a few indexes on my tables but before I over-do it I wanted to see if there were any good websites out there with recommendations. My plan is to create clustered indexes on my primary keys and non-clustered for each foreign key. Also there are a few fields that are regularly searched so I will index them separately as well.
I don't want too many though because I know that affects the performance of record inserts. I'm also not sure about using multiple keys in one index.
Is there a good site out there with tips on what indexes to create or avoid, or have I pretty much covered it?
Optimizing Query - Product Tips
Jan 6, 2004Hello everyone!
I've got a problem with a real slow query, I would be very happy if somebody has any idea to improve the speed of it...
The idea is to get the top 2 products, a customer hasn't bought wich are in his interest...
query (simplificated)
-------------------------------------------------
SELECT TOP 2 prodID, Title, Price FROM bestSold7Days WHERE
prodID NOT IN (SELECT prodID FROM orders INNER JOIN orderProducts ON orders.orderID = orderProducts.orderID WHERE (orders.custID=394))
AND
(prodType = COALESCE((SELECT TOP 1 products.prodID FROM orders INNER JOIN orderProducts ON order.orderID = orderProducts.orderID INNER JOIN products ON orderProducts.prodID = products.prodID WHERE (orders.custID=394) GROUP BY products.prodType ORDER BY SUM(orderProducts.PCS) DESC), 2))
-------------------------------------------------
end query
(COALESCE is for replacing if the customer hasnt ordered anything, or hasnt ordered anything of this type)...
Thanks for any time spent!

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Indexing Tips For MIN And MAX In Queries
Jun 6, 2014Are there any best practices for indexing to support queries with MIN() and MAX() in them? what if MIN() and MAX() are partitioned? Super bonus question: what if MIN() and MAX() are not only partitioned, but are called on a field in a derived table, and one of the partitioning elements comes from a table that's being joined in the derived table?
I experimented with inserting the derived table into a temp table, putting a POC index on that, and querying out, but that actually took longer.
Moving From SQL 7 To SQL2005 Express- Any Tips?
Dec 1, 2005We are coming out of the dark ages with our app using SQL 7 and, following the excellent advice of the folks here on SQLTeam, installing SQL 2005 Express on our new webserver.
Not being terribly fluent in all things SQL, I was wondering if anybody could provide input on the best practices for getting SQL 2005 Express going on the new server.
So far I've:
- Installed SQL 2005 Express
- Downloaded and "installed" the SSEUtil for CMD line instructions
- Downloaded and installed the graphical management interface (very nice, makes me feel more comfortable - like SQL 7 console!)
- Copied backup files (made using SQL backup maintenance) to the new server
Should I simply create an empty db of the same name on the 2005 server and then restore the 7 data? Or ????
I searched briefly for previous posts of this nature and didn't find too much info so I hope I'm not duplicating effort here...
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Mmmmmkay. Yeah, did you get the memo about the TPS reports?
Need To Import An Excel Matrix - Any Tips?

I want to convert to a table that has five columns, the business name, date, and the three data columns.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. As of right now I'm staring at keying in about 2000 rows of data by hand.

Tips For Optimizing A SSIS Package
Jan 18, 2008Hi,
I have a SSIS package that reads a text file and generates an output file out of it after transformations.
Now, a 20MB text file (containing about 50,000 records) is taking around 5 mins to complete.
There is a Data Flow Task which is taking the major chunk of the time.
It contains the following:
1) File Source
2) Conditional Splits (2 in number)
3) Derived Column
4) Data Conversion Transformation
5) OLE DB Destinations (3 in number)
The number of records being processed is close to 50,000
Please share your tips for optimizing the package.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
B@ns
Repost: DTS -- Insert Into Oracle Is SLOW. Any Tips?
Dec 16, 2001Originally posted by Jeremy at 12/10/2001 11:39:38 AM
Hello all,
I've written a simple dts job that uses oracle (8.x) as a source and oracle (8.x) as a destination. I'm using SQL 2000 and Microsoft's oledb provider for oracle as the two connections. I've chosen "Transform Data Task" with the following SQL "SELECT * FROM REPORTER_STATUS
WHERE LASTOCCURRENCE > TRUNC(SYSDATE)". As you can see, it's very simple, however it's very very very slow. (averages about 1000 rows per minute). In my column transformations, I've selected many to many versus the one to one. There are no activex scripts or anything along those lines. Just a simple push of the data from one oracle box to the other. The table schemas are identical etc... I've had this problem before with writing to Oracle and I can't imagine that it's really supposed to be this slow. If you need more details, please just let me know.
Thank you,
Jeremy
-----------------------------More -------------------------------
The official response from microsoft is that dts only allows for single inserts... not bulk or bcp for oracle. There must be someone out there who has figured out how to configure / modify / call (something) from a dts pacakage to insert millions of records into Oracle in a decent time frame...
thnx again..

View 3 Replies View RelatedDTS From Excel File (excel Filename Is Different Everyday)
Sep 25, 2006Good Day to all,
Hope you could help me w/ my project.
Im creating a DTS Package. The source data will be coming from an excel file going to my SQL table. The DTS package is scheduled to execute daily, but the source data will be coming from different excel filename.
Example, today the DTS will get data from Data092506.xls. Then tomorrow, the data will be coming from Data092606.xls.
How can I do this? The DTS I've already done has a fixed source data file.
Please help.
Thank you so much.
God Bless.
