I have included in the attached SQL:
Declare @table1 table
(
cnsmr_id int,
complainid int,
complaintstat varchar(10)
)
Insert into @table1
[Code] ...
The query should return only cnsmr_id=2 since all the complaints is closed (blank/NULL) i have achieved this using having but is there is more performance way of doing this?
I'm sure Microsoft has heard most of these complaints many, many times, but I just have to rant about the issues I've encountered with SSIS over the last few weeks. Basically, SSIS, IMO, is a pile of dog ***. Yes, it gets the job done, but only in an extremely inefficient fashion:
Objects are ID'd by a GUID. This means that, (for instance) if you change a connection by deleting an existing connection and replace it by another, all of the objects using the old connection break -- EVEN IF YOU USE EXACTLY THE SAME CONNECTION NAME -- because they only know the connection by the GUID. Deleting the old Connection, even if you rebuild the new one with exactly the same name, pointing at exactly the same server, etc., breaks everything because all objects are ID'd by a GUID, not by a name (what genius at Microsoft thought this was a good idea?) All you get is an error message like "Connection manager {C72CC467-C142-4696-AF31-58B00DAC6ADE} does not exist" -- why isn't BIDS smart enough to resolve references by both the GUID and the Name? Why isn't there a "Find and replace" when updating or replacing objects?
SSIS is unbelieveably slow! Opening up a large project means you may as well step out for a cup of coffee because it takes so long to load. I believe this is because the project is based on the XML in the DTSX file, which means SSIS has to read the file in and interpret all the tags. Even on a fast machine, it's much, much slower to load an SSIS project than a Visual Studio project. Why the SQL Server team chose to use a different paradigm (one big, fat, slow file) than .NET and C# projects (a separate file for each object, and only opening the file when the developer opens the object) is beyond me. Visual Studio has a paradigm that works, yet the SSIS team chose to go their own way.
(SQL Sever Management Studio is also unbelievably slow, but that's an issue for another forum.)
Over and over again I've encountered issues seemingly related to the XML storage paradigm. The most common is editing a Task Script, then having BIDS complain about missing binary content when I return to UI. The suggested solution is to "visit" the code module so BIDS can rebuild the binary content. This is obviously a bug in BIDS, and should never have gotten past beta testing. If BIDS can't detect a change in the code behind a Task Script and regenerate the binary without the user having to "visit" the code, there's a serious problem with the internals.
Why is the user interface so cumbersome? Why can't I just right-click on a Script Task and drop directly into the code behind the object, rather than having to double-click, wait for the UI to appear, move to the "Script" tab, and select the "Design Script" button? Was this UI ever reviewed by beta testers? Does Microsoft really believe the BIDS interface is efficient? Too many properties are only seen when double-clicking on an object, while others appear in the property window. ALL properties should be accessible in the property window so that we don't have to double-click on an object and work through its inefficient editor.
Then, there's a myriad of stupid issues, such as -- when you change the connection for a Data Flow Component, all the exising metadata is invalidated, and you have to manually mark it all for deletion, close the editor, and re-open the editor. This is nonsense -- it's like some 12-year old decided that developers have all the time in the world to perform tasks that BIDS should be doing for us. Why can't just mark and delete mappings without having to close and reopen it
I am really sick and tired of the slow and inefficient user interface, and having to deal with the half-baked paradigms implemented in BIDS's features. It really has a "beta product" feel to it, as if it was rushed to market when it really needed another six months of development. I've got a job to get done here, and I'm spending the majority of my time working around the limitations built into BIDS. I could have written this package using bare VB.Net code in Visual Studio in half the time I've already spent on it, and I'm nowhere near done. IOW, BIDS has been a major drain on productivity.

1) Unforgiveablity - this is an advantage and disadvantage of service broker. The advantage is that it forces developers to be precise with the formation and decomposition of messages as well as forcing disciplined use of transactions. The disadvantages lie in the same. With the slightest error in dialog management, the transaction log grows out of control. With any solution that is incorporating SQL Express (and thanks to the limitations for surfacing the problems), the transaction log, invariably - at some point - grows uncontrollably, especially if you have a web application monitoring queues. There really needs to be better checkpoints and obeyance of normal SQL Server contraints. It seems that sometimes service broker has a mind of its own and takes over not only the SQL instance, but the disk and everything else.
2) Administration/Management capabilities - as far as I am concerned, these are non-existent. I find it hard to believe that I can't even script my service broker objects using the native management studio scripting tool. Its ridiculous that - in an enterprise system - I have to manually script out scores of service broker objects. The operations group agrees with me and this does nothing to enhance the reputation of SQL Server as an enterprise player. You can't produce a SP that provides these capabilities? I have had to build in diagnostics and recovery stats by way of user tables that collect and analyze service broker message activity.
3) Internal Activity - what the hell is going on in these internal tables? I can't find any documentation about the use of tempdb or anything else. Please provide something explaining where all the activity occurs and where space is consumed. This is kind of important when operating on restricted platforms, like SQL Express.
4) Locking - seems like you need a more granular locking strategy. This is just conjecture, but it seems when service broker wants; service broker takes. How about letting the application architect/developer decide when service broker takes?
5) Dialog Pool Management - this is very complex to implement and almost all "real" applications need it. You need to provide an out-of-the-box, starter implementation because this leads to problems mentioned in #1. Remember how the VS application wizard killed the Borland dev environment? Well, SQL Server needs an equivalent. Stop making us write the same thing over and over again; and stop making me write the same queries over and over again.
6) Evangelists - Most people don't even know what service broker is, and it makes it a very hard sell. Even experienced SQL developers are not sure how and why it should be used. I have interviewed over 20 pretty strong SQL candidates over the last year and I can't name one that new ANYTHING about service broker.
7) Guidelines for Conversation Cleanup - well, it's a fact of life - we have to cleanup bad conversation handles from time to time. OK, maybe this wouldn't happen if we didn't have careless or error-prone programming, but we do. What is the proper way to cleanup dialogs between two endpoints? How about some sample queries to run on the initiator and the target? Or even an english language description of how to go about cleaning up and starting over with conversations that have gotten into a "bad" state?
8) UDP/Broadcast/Multicast Messages - This is a pretty big problem in my opinion. I can't believe this has not been added to 2008 (or at least, I did not see it in the feature list). Roger Wolter said it would be in the next version when the 2005 articles were written. So, I am supposed to keep cursoring through message endpoints and tricking up the TRANSPORT route to achieve what a broadcast implementation could achieve?
I guess thats enough for now. I look forward to the responses.

I have set up a trigger that fires when an update has been performed on a specific table. The trigger checks to see if specific columns have been updated. If they have, then the trigger code is executed. This part works fine.
I am now trying to find a way to check if null values exist in either one of two field from the same table. If either field contains a null value, then I don't want the trigger code to be executed.
How can I check for null values and skip a block of code within my Transact Sql trigger.

Basically, I have a membership table that lists each member with an effective period, Eff_Period, that indicates a month when a member was active. So, if a member is active from Jan to Mar, there will be three rows with Eff_Periods of 201501, 201502 and 201503.
All well and good.But, a member may not necessarily have continuous months for active membership. They might have only been active for Jan, Feb and Jun. That would still give them three rows, but with noncontinuous Eff_Periods; they'd be 201501, 201502 and 201506.There is also a table that logs member activity. It has an Activity_Date that holds the date of the activity - betcha didn't see that comin'. What I'm trying to do is determine if an activity took place during a period when the member was active.
My original thought was to count how many rows a member has in the Membership table and compare that number to the number of months between the MIN(Eff_Period) and the MAX(Eff_Period). If the numbers didn't matchup, then I knew that the member had a disconnect somewhere; he became inactive, then active again. But, then I thought of the scenario I detailed above and realized that the counts could match, but still have a discontinuity.So, is there a nifty little SQL shortcut that could determine if a target month is contained within a continuous or discontinuous list of months?
I am using aloha POS and they have the date for every check in separate fields and now I want to calculate the total time for the checks but unable to get the how of it..
The date is DOB and it's datetime but I just need to extra the getdate() from it.The open time is OPENHOUR and OPENMINThe close time is CLOSEHOUR and CLOSEMIN
so basically the open time for the check will be the DATE FROM DOB + OPENHOUR + OPENMIN
And the close time will be DATE FROM DOB + CLOSEHOUR + CLOSEMIN
How can I get the total minutes for the check?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a table that keeps track of all changes that were performed in an application. There is a column called "old value" and column called "new value". There are some values in the application that don't require data therefore the "old value" or "new value" values can be empty. These columns are an nvarchar data type because the value can be text or numbers or dates. An example is "ReceivedDate". There is a report that is generated based on this table.
What is happening is the query in the report dataset is adding dates when it should be displaying empty. They query is using "CASE/WHEN/THEN". What I need is "When the column is "RecievedDate" and it is not null then convert it to a date". This is for formatting purposes.
This is an example of the table:
UpdateColumn
Old Value
New Value
ReceivedDate
7/8/2015 5:00:00 AM
ReceivedDate
7/8/2015 12:00:00 AM
7/9/2015 5:00:00 AM
ReceivedDate
7/9/2015 12:00:00 AM
So, the first time it was updated there was no value but it was replaced with July 8, 2015 and so on.This is what the report is displaying
This is the query:
CASE UpdateColumn
... WHEN 'ReceivedDate' THEN (replace(convert(varchar(11),CONVERT ( date, oldvalue ), 106), ' ', '-') )
...
I tried adding
CASE UpdateColumn
...
WHEN 'ReceivedDate' IS NOT NULL
THEN (replace(convert(varchar(11),CONVERT ( date, oldvalue ), 106), ' ', '-') )
...
But it did not like the "IS NOT NULL".

Hello,
I have built a system, that uses a .dll file for all SQL operations. So a program looks something like this:
using myDLL;
....
SQLDBCON mSQL = new SQLDBCON();
and here comes the rest of the program.
My question is, the dll file has all stored procedures and when you declare mSQL as shown above, then it opens a thread to the database for that user.
Is that thread properly closed when the site has finished loading?
in my .aspx page i dont have a function like mSQL.CloseDB();
and if i try to add something like this to the dll file
~SQLDBCON {
m_local_con.Close();m_local_con.dispose();
}
i get a error message says something that this is not allowed.
Just want to know if my thread in the dll file is properly closed?
That is an app ACCESS 2000 wih Named Pipe ODBC to SQL Server 6.5.
After 10 minutes without use this app, the connection closed !
Have-you idea for correct this probleme ?
