Hi Everyone -
We were discussing select speeds the other day,
the question comes in at...
what is faster, a standard query with specifies the search critera
i.e. select * from xyz where a='A' or a='B'
or is the IN a better way to go....
select * from xyz where a in ('A', 'B')
we ran the tests in performance analyzer,
but they were the same results....
maybe i'm smoking the stuff - but i thought the
useage of the IN causes a full table scan for each
of the items in the in clause
please advise
take care

Anyone know of a site or company that provide good pre-tests for certification?
I don't mind paying for downloadable test either.

Has anyone been successfull in creating a Web Test with Team System to test a Reporting Services report? I can record the test just fine but I can't run the test without errors being reported. I suspect that the session state has to be parameterized but I have no clue how to do this.
Why is this so hard? Why aren't there samples for this kind of thing? I've been all over the SSRS and Team Test forums and the MSDN site and can't find anything about Reporting Services reports being tested with Team System Web Tests.
Hi,
I'm trying to extend the usage of the code below. This method returns a variable of type SQLParameter and what I want is to accomodate even a check for a null in the parameter. This is a code which I got from one of my co-workers who isn't anymore working here. Any help would be appreciated. I do not want to throw an exception here when a field's type doesn't fall into one of the categories below. The method where this methos is called is the first part of my below code.

If this post belongs somewhere else I appologize. I have spent several days trying to solve this problem with no luck. My site is online. Hosted at NeikoHosting. I can connect to the database remotely when adding a datacontrol. It tests fine. But when running the page it won't connect. Even if I go in and change the Web.Config connection string to a local Data Source provided to me by Neiko, it still won't work. It just won't connect. Here are the two connection strings in the Web.Config, minus my login info: Only the remote string will pass testing. Neither works on the site. <add name="yourchurchmychurchDBConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=MSSQL2K-A;Initial Catalog=yourchurchmychurchDB;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=me;Password=pwd" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

With a Gridview Control, I set the SqlDataSource to be a stored procedure in a Sql Sever database.
Using the wizzard to configure the datasource, the test returns lots of rows. After completing the wizzard, the gridview control does not show the column names in the VS2005 designer. For the gridview column headers the values are Databound Col0, Databound Col1, Databound Col2, ....) This tells me I have a problem.
I tried the same thing with a simpler stored procedure. This test stored procedure does not call anything else, takes several input parameters, returns rows. The column names show in the gridview control as expected.
So I am trying to figure out why the first case of gridview with sqldatasource is not working and the second case works . The stored procedure that is not working with my gridview calls multiple inner stored procedures and has #TEMP tables. My complex stored procedure ends with Select * from #Temp.
Could the calling of other inner stored procedures and use of #temp tables contribute to the problem? If yes then what is the strategy for using a gridview and loading it with the data that the complex stored procedure returns?
Using a 32-Bit SQL Server 2008 Express on my LOCAL PC. I downloaded the Advantage 8.1 OLE DB Provider and created a linked server to a REMOTE Advantage 8.1 database server. There is no data dictionary on the Advantage server.
Here is my linked server:
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'1xx.1xx.xx.1xx', @srvproduct=N'Advantage', @provider=N'Advantage OLE DB Provider', @datasrc=N'1xx.1xx.xx.1xxeccET', @provstr=N'servertype=ads_local_server;tabletype=ads_cdx;'--tabletype=’ADS_ADT’ (this test works too)
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname=N'1xx.1xx.xx.1xx',@useself=N'False',@locallogin=Null,@rmtuser='adssys',@rmtpassword=Null
Testing the link succeeds with above. Using “ads_REMOTE_server” instead of “ads_local_server” and the test fails. Here is my problem, using the following queries will not work. Perhaps it’s a permissions issue? When I specify my local credentials for the remote server in the linked server it still does not work.
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([1xx.1xx.xx.1xx], 'SELECT * FROM ActType')
OLE DB provider "Advantage OLE DB Provider" for linked server "1xx.1xx.xx.1xx" returned message "Error 7200: AQE Error: State = HY000; NativeError = 5004; [Extended Systems][Advantage SQL][ASA] Error 5004: Either ACE could not find the specified file, or you do not have sufficient rights to access the file. Table name: ActType SELECT * FROM ActType".
Msg 7321, Level 16, State 2, Line 2
An error occurred while preparing the query "SELECT * FROM ActType" for execution against OLE DB provider "Advantage OLE DB Provider" for linked server "1xx.1xx.xx.1xx".
I have the following SELECT statement. It returns the first record from EVENT_TEACHERS. I want the last record. 'iID' is the unique identifier so I want to select this stuff where iID is max. How can I add this to my string? I can't get the block out of my head of wanting to put the aggregate in the WHERE clause.
str = "SELECT vwStaffList4Assessment.*, EVENT_TEACHERS.iID, EVENT_TEACHERS.iAsmtID, ASMT.* FROM EVENT_TEACHERS INNER JOIN ASMT ON EVENT_TEACHERS.iAsmtID = ASMT.iAsmtID INNER JOIN vwStaffList4Assessment ON ASMT.DVN=vwStaffList4Assessment.DVN"
Thanks
I am trying to insert to our DB. Here is my insert statement.
str = "INSERT INTO SURVEY (q3) VALUES (" & q3 & ") WHERE iID="&iID
Here is my debug:

And here is my error:
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'WHERE'.
Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
I have the following string in Access as a field
SpecCmplDate: IIf([SaleStatus]="Spec",[Close],"")
How do I create this field in SQL Server?
I am new to SQL and need some help. Would anyone be able to tell how to write a statmement, that would bring back several columns with specific amounts of spaces in it? I don't want to change the sizes of the columns forever, just for this one query.
Thanx in advance.

Hello all,
I`m trying to do a "order by" on a datefield in a query (month only), and I would like my result set to be sorted started with a value that I provide.
For example, I would like the result set to be sorted begining with october:
October ...
November ...
December ...
January ..
February ...
March ...
But of course it gave me:
January ..
February ...
March ...
November ...
December ...
I attempted to do it in 2 selects with a union but it wouldn`t let me do an "order by" in both select statements with the union operator.

I have 3 tables in SQL 2005. I have dumbed them down significantly, to illustrate my question.
1) Item Table - Contains a list of 2 items, "Coca-Cola" and "Pepsi-Cola".
2) Market Share - Contains the 'market share' information for the items in "Item Table". 1 to 1 relationship.
3) Retail Price - Contains the 'average retail' price data for the items in "Item Table". 1 to 1 relationship.
All three tables are linked by "iItemID".
I am trying to build a simply query that generates the following results:
----------------------------------------------------------
Item Name Market Share Retail Price
-----------------------------------------------------------
Coca-Cola mm.mm% $xx.xx
Pepsi-Cola mm.mm% $xx.xx
If, I first focus on retrieving the Market Share data, using the following query, it retrieves what I want.
SELECT tblItems.sItemName, tblMarketShare.sYTD
FROM tblItems INNER JOIN
tblMarketShare ON tblMarketShare.iItemID = tblItems.iItemID
----------------------------------
Item Name Market Share
----------------------------------
Coca-Cola mm.mm%
Pepsi-Cola mm.mm%
However, if I then add the RetailPrice price table (using the following query), I get the following incorrect results.
SELECT tblItems.sItemName, tblMarketShare.sYTD, tblRetailPrice.sYTD
FROM tblItems INNER JOIN
tblMarketShare ON tblMarketShare.iItemID = tblItems.iItemID INNER JOIN
tblRetailPrice ON tblRetailPrice.iItemID = tblItems.iItemID
----------------------------------------------------------
Item Name Market Share Retail Price
-----------------------------------------------------------
Coca-Cola mm.mm% $xx.xx
Pepsi-Cola mm.mm% $xx.xx
Coca-Cola mm.mm% $xx.xx
Pepsi-Cola mm.mm% $xx.xx
Where the first two values for Market Share are repeated again for row 3 and 4.
How do I syntax my SQL statement to return a single data set in the following fashion?
----------------------------------------------------------
Item Name Market Share Retail Price
-----------------------------------------------------------
Coca-Cola mm.mm% $xx.xx
Pepsi-Cola mm.mm% $xx.xx
I know this is simple for someone who write queries all the time. But this is driving me crazy. I have tried various JOINS (LEFT OUTER, RIGHT, etc.), but I am missing something.

I have a table containing almost 700000 records. The table contains the following fields:
table_id, member#, car_eff_dt, car_term_dt, mbr_occur.
A member can occur more than one time and his effective date/termination date are sorted sequentially.
An example would look like this:
table_id member# car_eff_dt car_term_dt mbr_occur
1 12345678901 01/01/1995 12/31/1995 null

Dear SQLGuru,
I came to know one of the better option in Oracle SQL for TOP-N Analysis-To find the top 5 usage accounts, top 10 users, etc. Is there any such way in SQL server ?
Is there any ways of using JOINS ( using keyword INNER & OUTER ) ? Some of the scripts that is generated automatically in Microsoft access with Join condition is not even working in MSSQL server 6.5. Is it true ? Or is there any other way that I can use these scripts in SQL 6.5.
If possible, pls. help me with some sample scripts ?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Ok here is the situation I need a little help with.
I am passing an XML document to a stored procedure. My XML document looks like this:
<ROOT>
<customer ID="10" Address="1234 Somewhere"></customer>
<customer ID="20" Address=""></customer>
</ROOT>
Now I use sp_xml_preparedocument and OpenXML to Insert the XML ID and Address attributes into a table in my database. The table has 2 fields (ID int) and (Address varchar(100) nullable)
The result of the insertion is 2 rows in my table with the ID field containing (10 and 20) and the Address field containing (1234 Somewhere and an empty string).
My first question is, why isn't the second row Address field in my database null instead of an empty string since thats what I would like happen. Is it because the XML Address atribute = "".
If that is the case then that should bring up my second question. Since the OpenXML inserts Address="" as an empty string instead of NULL, why doesn't a regular TransactSQL INSERT statement called from ASP does the same thing?? If I lost you here then let me give a quick example.
An html web form with a text field (txtAddress). The user leaves the text box empty and submits the form. My ASP takes the value of the form, Request.Form("txtAddress") and passes it to stored proceudre through an ASP parameter object. My stored procedure simply does an INSERT into tablename (ID, Address) VALUES (@passedID, @PassedAddress). Now the outcome in the database is that the Address field is NULL and not an empty string.
That is why im confused. Why arent the OpenXML and the straight-forward insertion yield the same result (either null or empty string). It seems to me that an empty text box is an empty string and not null. ASP's ISNull(txtAddress) agrees and returns false.
Any insight ot help on this issue is greatly appreciated.
What I am trying to do is iterate through a set of records from a table, and setting one field to a common value on each record, and setting another to an incremented value. Here it is:

Loop:
FETCH NEXT INTO @vcA, @vcB FROM MYCURSOR.
UPDATE MYTABLE SET A = @nctr, B = "AAB" WHERE CURRENT OF MYCURSOR
SELECT @nctr = @nctr + 1
If @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 goto Loop:
I hit an error as soon as I get to the Update -
"Cursorfetch: Number of variables declared in the INTO list must match that of selected columns"
Go Figure. I really need an answer on this ASAP! Help!
