Transact SQL :: HierarchyID - How To Give A Column Name For Node Path
Aug 19, 2015
I just started learning HierarchyID and copied the the following code from [URL] .... and Chapter 7 Hierarchical Data and the Relational Database of the book "Programming Microsoft SQL Server 2012", written by L. G. Lobel and A. J. Brust (Published by Microsoft Press):
-- shcHierarchyid_1.sql
-- 19 August 2015 13:15 PM
USE master
GO
IF EXISTS(SELECT name FROM sys.databases WHERE name = 'shcDB')
DROP DATABASE shcDB
GO
CREATE DATABASE shcDB
GO
[Code] ....
I executed the code in my Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (SSMS2012). It worked nicely. But, I don't understand the following 2 things:
#1: In the Results, I got:
(No column name) Position Title
1 / CEO
2 /1/ 0x58 Purchase Manager
3 /1/1/ 0x5AC0 Purchase Executive
4 /2/ 0x68 Sales Manager
5 /2/1/ 0x6AC0 Sales Executive
I don't know how to give a column name for the /, /1/, /1/1/, /2/, /2/1/ (NodePath (?) I guessed). How I can give a column name to that column.
#2: The book lists "USE master GO .....". I wonder whether I can do the "hierarchyid" thing in the private database I created!!?? Whether I can do the "hierarchyid" thing in the private database or not.
I would like to know how to put an attribute on the root node of thexml returned from a FOR XML PATH query. One thing I tried is this:selectm.msgid '@msgID',st.namelong 'set/@namelong',st.nameshort 'set/@nameshort',frommsgset minner join settable st on (st.setid = m.setid)where m.msgID = 195for xml path('set'), root('message')but it gives me:<message><set msgID="195"><set namelong="STUFF HERE" nameshort="STUFF" /></set><set msgID="195"><set namelong="MORE STUFF" nameshort="M STUFF" /></set><set msgID="195"><set namelong="TESTING 123" nameshort="TEST" /></set></message>here is what I want:<message msgID="195"><set namelong="STUFF HERE" nameshort="STUFF" /><set namelong="MORE STUFF" nameshort="M STUFF" /><set namelong="TESTING 123" nameshort="TEST" /></message>I can't get it. If I use: root(''), then it tells me: "Row tagomission (empty row tag name) cannot be used with attribute-centric FORXML serialization." I'm sure there is a trick to this-- anysuggestions?Many thanks.the chippster
Hi all. Here's my problem: I have a tree linking macaddresses (bigints)in a tree structure. i want to get the path from node a to b.create table tree1(father bigint , child bigint);insert into tree1 (father,child) values (100,200);insert into tree1 (father,child) values (100,300);insert into tree1 (father,child) values (100,400);insert into tree1 (father,child) values (200,2000);insert into tree1 (father,child) values (200,3000);insert into tree1 (father,child) values (100,4000);insert into tree1 (father,child) values (2000,11111);you can see that 100 --> 200 --> 2000 --> 11111select * from tree1what i would like is a query that given two parameters returns the pathbetweenthem, in the case of 100,11111 i want to get100200200011111if possible as different rows, but columns will do to.of course i do not know the legnth of the path. it can be very bigthx in advanceTzvika
int nvarchar(100) and in Request field i put below data : 1 <request><F3>353535</F3><F6></F6></request> 2 <request><F5>353535</F5><F6></F6></request>3 <request><F3>353535</F3><F6></F6></request>
now i need to a query that i can find records that exists <F3> and if exists , remove just the <F3> tag
below like : 1 <request><F6></F6></request> 2 <request><F5>353535</F5><F6></F6></request>3 <request><F6></F6></request>
I'm trying to create a report which would give the latest transaction on a database, which all sit on different servers. I wanted to know if there is an a simple way tracking the latest transactions instead of getting the information from the database tables.
I have some data which is vertical...I want to create a pivot query in SQL that will give me a result that is horizontal like this. I cannot find a way of doing it without lots of IF or CASE statements?
We created sql alerts on all our sql servers environments. Now, i want to see each sql server which sql alerts so far got fired and which one never occurs. is there any way, we can get this information from any system database?
I need to concatenate the DisplayName column with distinct UserName and SysName using XML path
SELECT [sysName], [User_Name],[DisplayName] FROM (SELECT v_Add_Remove_Programs.DisplayName0 AS [DisplayName], v_Add_Remove_Programs.Publisher0 AS [Publisher] , v_R_System_Valid.Netbios_Name0 AS[sysName],v_R_System_Valid.User_Name0 AS [User_Name],v_Add_Remove_Programs.Version0 as [Version] FROM [Offline].[dbo].v_Add_Remove_Programs JOIN [Offline].[dbo].v_R_System_Valid ON [Offline].[dbo].v_Add_Remove_Programs.ResourceID = [Offline].[dbo].v_R_System_Valid.ResourceID)
As you can see its combine two rows of data group by id. Issue is If I use for xml path('') then its replace my html tags <b> to like <b> so after that then I again i need to replace all these symbols. Is it possible to get expected result without using xml path or if we use xml path then still my html tag leave as it is.
I am using the HierarchyID datatype for my requirement to manage the hierarchy structure. I found it very useful in maintaining the structure in the table with the levels.
I am looking to develop an SSRS report to generate this tree structure. I couldn't find anything relevant todo this using HierarchyID.
I found Parent child hierarchy in SSRS using recursive hierarchy method which was not using the HierarchyID datatype.
DECLARE @File_Exists INT EXEC Master.dbo.xp_fileexist 'serverBSQL_Backupfile.bak', @File_Exists OUT print @File_Exists
1
And if check folder, can use "nul", but it doesn't work for UNC path
DECLARE @File_Exists INT EXEC Master.dbo.xp_fileexist 'serverBSQL_Backup ul', @File_Exists OUT
print @File_Exists 0
If use xp_subdirs like:
EXEC master.dbo.xp_subdirs 'serverBSQL_Backups'
If the folder doesn't exists,
Msg 22006, Level 16, State 1, Line 3 xp_subdirs could not access 'ServerBSQL_Backups*.*': FindFirstFile() returned error 67, 'The network name cannot be found.'
How to check if UNC folder exists in Backup? in my code I want to check if the unc folder exists before doing backup, the unc path is retrieved from other table or backup history.
I am trying to extract what I believe is called a Node from a column in a table that contains XML. What's the best way to do this? It is pretty straightforward since I'm not even looking to include a WHERE clause.
What I have so far is:
SELECT CCH.OrderID, CCH.CCXML.query('/cc/auth') FROM tblCCH AS CCH
In SQL Studio, I can go to the restore window and the click "verify backup media". This would check the restore plan listed in this window and check if some of the file are missed.Is there any way to reach this with TQSL? I know there is a "restore verify" command, but this will only verify one backup/file and not the complete restore path. I'm looking for a TSQL solution which is able to control that all necessary backup files are still present on the file System and not moved or deleted (e.g through cleanup task).
I am trying a create views that would join 2 tables:
Table 1: Has all the columns need by a view ( Name: Product Structure: ID, Attribute 1, Attribute 2, Attribute 3, Attribute 4, Attribute 5 etc Table 2: Is a lookup table that provides the names of columns Name: lookupTable Structure: tableName, ColumnName, columnValue Values: Product, Attribute1, Color Product, Attribute2, Size Product, Attribute3, Flavor Product, Attribute4, Shape
I have not used log shipping before and find myself in a position where I need to reboot the secondary node and then the primary node and I don't actually need to failover.
Is there anything I need to be aware of. When rebooting the secondary node I assume the transactions will be held in the primary nodes log till the secondary comes back and just carry on once back up?
When rebooting the primary node nothing needs to be done and the log shipping will just start again once it has come back?
But I'm not sure if I have to install SQL Server first on node 2, then add it to the cluster. Or does adding it to the cluster also install the software?
I'm contemplating running two availability groups on a two node WSFC. The WSFC is setup with a file share witness (i.e. no shared storage). Can I safely run 1 AG on one primary node, and the other AG on the other node (as primary). Each AG would have replicas on the passive node. This would effectively allow both servers to be in use at the same time. In a failover event, I understand that both workloads would transfer to a single server - so the box needs to be sized appropriately.
We are in the process of building a 3 node SQL Server Cluster (Server 2012/ SQL Server 2012), and we have configured the quorum so that all 3 nodes have a vote (no file share witness as we already have an odd number of nodes).
As I understand it, this should allow the cluster to run as long as 2 of the nodes remain online.
However, the validation report states that 2 node failures would be acceptable and, when we tested this by powering off two of the nodes, the cluster did indeed continue to run on a single node.
I configure Windows 2003 R2 and SQL 2005 two nodes Cluster. When I move cluster resource from one node to anther node it takes around 30 seconds to become online. So in that time if any query is running it stops responding.
I have a table with a BLOB column, and I need to populate this table including the BLOB column (image type in the database).
What I have done is:
1. use a flat file transform to read a .csv file which specifies the names of the files that store the binary contents for the BLOB column for each row.
2. use an Import Column Transform to read the binary files.
3. use an OLE DB Dest transform to dump the data into my destination table.
I got the error saying:
Error: 0xC02090BB at XXXX, Import Column [1]: Opening the file ".diagram1.bin" for reading failed. The file was not found.
I guess this is because my file "diagram1.bin" is not in the current path? (The current path can be found by "System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() call, in my case it is "c:program filesmicrosoft visual studio 0common7IDE".)
My question is: how to determine the directory path information of the package I am running?
I invoke xp_cmdshell proc from inside a stored procedure on a 2-node active/passive SQL 2005 SP2 Standard cluster. Depending on which server the xp_cmdshell gets executed on I need to pass different arguments in the shell command. I thought I could use host_name() function to get the runtime process server, however, I am finding that it's not behaving correctly. In one example I know my active node is server2, but the host_name() function is returning server1. The only thing that I could possible explain this is that the MSDTC cluster group is not always on the same active node as the SQL server group and in the case I am talking about the cluster groups are in this mode (differnet nodes). Does the xp_cmdshell get executed by the SQL active node or the MDTC active node? And what is the best way to find out which server is going to run my xp_cmdshell?
Thanks.
Edit:
Perhaps another by product of this is that if I run select host_name() from the Studio Management query window i get different results depending on which server I am running the Studio Management on. On server1 I get server1 and on server 2 I get server 2, all the while server2 is the active node. I need a different function that will always let me determine the correct server that'll be running the xp_cmdshell...
Edit 2: I guess I could determine the running host inside the command shell itself, but I am curious to see if i can do it (cleaner) from SQL.
When trying to install Business Contact Manager (BCM) for Outlook 2007, the setup failed and I was refered to a log file in my Local Settings/Temp folder. The log actually says that Business Contact Manager was installed sucessfully! BCM is supposed to install SQL Express 2005 as an instance or as instance if SQL Express is already installed. There is an MSSMLBIZ instance in Services..
Who can I send the Log File to for analysis and the fix feedback?
When I first went into Computer Management and clicked on Services and Applications in the left panel, the error message appeared "Snap-in failed to intialize. Name: SQL Server Configuration Manager CLSID:{CA9F8727-31DF-41D2-975C-887D84903967} This message diappeared when I clicked on Services and Applications again. Under Services, there are 3 SQL services - one is an application that was uninstalled 3-4 weeks ago and I disabled this service. The other 2 are: SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ) and the other one is SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) When I tried to start either of the last 2, the message appeared: Services "Could not start the SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ) service on Local Computer. Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified. Under Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/MSSGL.1 folder is mostly empty. So, it seems like the Path in the Registry is not valid and that nothing is being installed in the MSSQL.1 folder. If so, how do I fix this?
How do I get the BCM SQL instance to install and run properly? what do the messages in Services mean and how do I resolve these.
After updating TempDB path to a wrong path (without file name only folder name) the service is not starting. How can i sovle this and start the service
I want a query to join all this tables based on EmployeeID, PeriodID and LeaveTypeID sum of LeaveEntitlement.LeaveEntitlementDaysNumber based on LeaveTypeID AS EntitleAnnaul and AS EntitleSick and sum AssignedLeave.AssignedLeaveDaysNumber based on LeaveTypeID AS AssignedAnnaul and AS AssignedSick and subtract EntitleAnnaul from AssignedAnnual based on LeaveTypeID AS AnnualBalance and subtract EntitleSick from AssignedSick based on LeaveTypeID AS SickBalance
and the table should be shown as below after executing the query
I am having issues trying to write a query that would provide me the unique GUID numbers associated with a distinct PID if the unique GUID's > 1. To summarize, I need a query that just shows which PID's have more than one unique GUID. A PID could have multiple GUID's that are the same, I'm looking for the PID's that have multiple GUID's that are different/unique.
