The benifit of UPDLOCK is that it avoids deadlock in case both sessions run the below query at the same time.The table has clustered index on ID column
----session 1 -------- begin transaction select * from a1
update a1 set id = 22 where id = 2
----session 2 -------- begin transaction select * from a1
update a1 set id = 22 where id = 2
Now to avoid deadlock in the above scenario we should use (UPDLOCK) hint in the select statement.Now my question is that deadlock will be avoided in this case when both the sessions use UPDLOCK hint. If only one session uses UPDLOCk and other does not then there will be deadlock .For example session 1 uses UPDLOCK hint this will hold the U lock on the row, but the session 2 does not use this hint and apply shared lock on the same row. Now there will be deadlock when session 1 tries to update the record and is blocked by shared locks of session 2. same will be the case with session 2 and both will wait for each other and hence dead lock.so what steps can be taken to avoid deadlocks in this case. I do not want to use Snapshot isolation.
Will the database get locked if my ASP.Net application that is calling a stored procedure in which a HOLDLOCK for table1 is issued to SQL Server, suddenly crashes just after the stored procedure is called?
select count(cars.carid) from Cars left join RentalOrders on cars.CarID=RentalOrders.CarRef where carid not in(selectRentalOrders.CarRef from RentalOrders)
when I wrote this above-query for sofiacarrental_v2.2 it shows 30 in the result but when I changed it this query to that:
select count(cars.carid) from Cars left join RentalOrders on cars.CarID=RentalOrders.CarRef where not exists (select RentalOrders.CarRef from RentalOrders)
I replaced not in with not exists it showed 0 in the result.there is any point in term of using them or I made a mistake in the second query?
I have a table that will be loaded over night everyday and I need to write a query on running value difference ?
List of Columns (ID, Branch ,Group, Date, Value)
ID Branch Group Date Value 1 A C 2015-06-01 10 2 A C 2015-06-02 15 3 A C 2015-06-03 25 4 A C 2015-06-04 20 5 B D 2015-06-01 20 6 B D 2015-06-02 25 7 B D 2015-06-03 10 8 B D 2015-06-04 20
I want the Output like below with a Running value difference in comparison to previous day.
ID Branch Group Date Value Running Value 1 A C 2015-06-01 10 10 2 A C 2015-06-02 15 05 3 A C 2015-06-03 25 10 4 A C 2015-06-04 20 -5 5 B D 2015-06-01 20 20 6 B D 2015-06-02 25 05 7 B D 2015-06-03 10 -15 8 B D 2015-06-04 20 10
Basically I need to compare the previous day and show the difference. How can I do this in SQL 2008 r2?
Select datediff(dd,Target_Date,Achv_Date) Now , checks are 1] when target date greater than achv_Date the difference should be greater than 0 means for FileID 77608 Select datediff(dd,'2015-09-24 00:00:00.000','2015-09-24 10:42:32.823')
i am getting -6 it should be 6 cant switch Target_Date and Achv_Date in datediff else i will get opposite result in first four records basically, i want a two column TAT and Status beside achv_date based on the values of two dates difference see above ..and also want a result of (No. of Yes in status / No. of Files that has achv_date )i.e. result= (7/8) = 87%
how to measure a change in inventory over various stores. My sql2008R2 express db gets a new row of data everyday from each store(about 40 stores) for a single product stock count "OnHand" and if there is any new stock on order. When the new stock arrives it is added to the "OnHand" count. I want to measure the delta change per day,per store. I'm stuck on how to separate the stores and how to query the delta of stock.My data base looks like this
I'm trying to calculate the time difference between a date field and today's date in days. The date field is not mandatory and can therefore be blank. I'm trying to execute the following query:
SELECT employee_code, Civil_ID, DATEDIFF(Day, Civil_ID, GETDATE()) FROM ODEV_VIEW_Credentials_Expiry_Dates WHERE Civil_ID IS NOT NULL AND Civil_ID != '' ORDER BY employee_code
I keep getting the following message:
The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.
Warning: Null value is eliminated by an aggregate or other SET operation.
No matter what filter I use to process non-blank dates, it never works.
Given a table that has three columns that together create a key and two columns that together define NameValue pairs, how can the difference between instances of values be calculated and displayed?One table is used to contain periodic dumps of data from various sources. Because this is an early stage of development for the software project instead of having explicit columns that contain specific data the table contains name/value pairs. This allows the software to export anything to the database table. When this data is imported, earch row shares the same key (three columns containing a machine type, serial number and a timestamp), a name that identifies the data and a string that contains the actual data. While this arrangement makes it trivial to support the addition of any data that the software developers want to export, it makes it less obvious as to how to generate reports.Let's make an example. Lets assume that there are two vending machines, each of which has just 3 snacks and each of which generates two separate reports.
Type Sn Timestamp Name Value A 1 2015-08-15 12:34 Snick 5 A 1 2015-08-15 12:34 Mars 10 A 1 2015-08-15 12:34 MandM 0B 2 2015-08-15 15:31 Snick 1 B 2 2015-08-15 15:31 Mars 9 B 2 2015-08-15 15:31 MandM 0A 1 2015-08-21 09:12 Snick 11 A 1 2015-08-21 09:12 Mars 18
[code]...
So, the names of the values become the report's columns. The reports are sorted by timestamp, then by type, then by serial number.The value associated with the previous row that shares the same name is subtracted from the value of the next row in which the same name occurs and that becomes the displayed value in the report.
I have encountered a problem with a specific set of tables. The same select yields slightly differing execution plans in two different environments (instances). But the slight variation seems to contain a huge differences in stats. I don't know the significance of these stats. The two tables have the exact same indices.
This is the selcet statement:
SELECT 'xx' FROM DUKS.dbo.Profiler WHERE DNA_Løbenummer IN (SELECT DNA_Løbenummer FROM DUKS.dbo.Effektregister WHERE Sagsnummer = '2015-00002')
I am really puzzled by an apparent difference between table index key column order and its statistics order. I was under understanding that index statistics mirror index definition. However, in my db 2470 index ordinal definitions match statistics definition but 66 do not. I also can reproduce such discrepancy in 2008 R2, 2012 and 2014.
As per definition,
stats_column_id int
1-based ordinal within set of stats columns
This script duplicates this for me.
BEGIN TRAN GO use tempdb GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ItemProperties]( [itmID] [int] NOT NULL, [cpID] [smallint] NOT NULL, [ipuID] [tinyint] NOT NULL,
connection 1. one does select max(grp) from orv and one does select max(grp) from orh. orh is the historical file from orv. We did this to know which is the greather grp between these 2 files. After having did this, we add 1 at grp field. we insert into orv the record max(grp) + 1
connection 2. an other application could insert at the same time record in this table orv with same parameters.
my problem is the following. I need to block record in orv table either on the select ( connection 1) or Insert ( connection 2) to avoid having select max(grp) + 1 on orv at connection 1 and Insert a record into orv at connection 2. I believe I need to use HOLDLOCK, UPDLOCK. but I have not the habitude to use them.
Can I do this ? connection 1 select max(grp) from orv WITH HOLDLOCK connection 2 what should I use to avoid lock when I need to insert into orv. ?
Is there anything I can do from the Enterprise Manager console or fromwithin a JDBC connection to achieve the same effect as WITH(UPDLOCK)?Yes, I could change all of my SQL statements to include the lock... butisn't there any way to set or tweak something in SQL Server so that I won'thave to hack a lot of code* to make things concurrent? Perhaps a way to setUPDLOCK as the default behaviour for the server, or schema, or table, orsomething?Jerry H.* == The existing SQL has to remain as generic as possible so that it can beimplemented for four other databases.
Hi all,Is this legal ?SELECT a.col1,b.col2,c.col3FROM tab1 a WITH (UPDLOCK) , tab2 b, tab3 cWHERE a.col1 = b.col1and b.col2 = c.col1WIll the above cause a UPDLOCK on tab1 and not tab2 and tab3?COmments,thoughts,criticisms?I have a problem with a query that performs a multi-table jointo get column values and then one of the tables in the join isbeing updated. I am getting DEADLOCKs and was wondering if I couldtry and reduce that.Also how can I find out what locks are in effect for a certainquery..Is it syslocks or are there any other tables..?DrD
I've got a SELECT WITH (UPDLOCK, ROWLOCK) WHERE followed by an UPDATE WHERE statement. The results of the SELECT statement are deserialized in C# and updates are made to the deserialized object. Then the object is serialized back into the table with the UPDATE statement. I've got this code running within a transaction scope with the ReadCommited isolation level.
My service receives requests to update data and the requests can come in on different threads. What I'm seeing, is that once in a while, the log messages from my application indicate that two different threads are able to issue the above SELECT statement and both are receiving results. This is a problem since the thread that issues the last UPDATE will overwrite the changes made by the first. Each thread has its own connection and transaction scope.
I've researched all over the place and have tried a few different things, but all things point to the fact that query hints are just hints and that SQL may or may not pay attention to them. If that's the case, how am I suppose to perform a SELECT with the intention of updating so that no one else can do the same? I haven't tried table level locking, but I'd really like to avoid that if possible.
This article instructed me on how to process rows from a table used as a data queue for multiple processes.
http://www.mssqltips.com/tip.asp?tip=1257
I tested this against the AdventureWorks DB (SQL 2005) and multiple SQL connections inside of Sql Mgmt. Studio).
Connection1:
BEGIN TRANSACTION
SELECT TOP 1 * FROM Production.WorkOrder WITH (updlock, readpast) --skips over locked rows --COMMIT TRANSACTION
Connection2:
BEGIN TRANSACTION
SELECT TOP 1 * FROM Production.WorkOrder WITH (updlock, readpast) --skips over locked rows
COMMIT TRANSACTION
This works like I want where connection 2 skips over the locked row from connection 1 and gets the next available record from the table / queue. However, when I add ORDER BY tsql to each sql statement, connection 2 is now blocked waiting for Connection 1 to commit. (This is not what I want)
Connection1:
BEGIN TRANSACTION
SELECT TOP 1 * FROM Production.WorkOrder WITH (updlock, readpast) order by DueDate
--COMMIT TRANSACTION
Connection2:
BEGIN TRANSACTION
SELECT TOP 1 * FROM Production.WorkOrder WITH (updlock, readpast) order by DueDate --is blocked until connection 1 commits transaction
COMMIT TRANSACTION
How do I prevent blocking when using these locking hints with ORDER BY?
I was writing a query using both left outer join and inner join. And the query was ....
SELECT S.companyname AS supplier, S.country,P.productid, P.productname, P.unitprice,C.categoryname FROM Production.Suppliers AS S LEFT OUTER JOIN (Production.Products AS P INNER JOIN Production.Categories AS C
[code]....
However ,the result that i got was correct.But when i did the same query using the left outer join in both the cases
i.e..
SELECT S.companyname AS supplier, S.country,P.productid, P.productname, P.unitprice,C.categoryname FROM Production.Suppliers AS S LEFT OUTER JOIN (Production.Products AS P LEFT OUTER JOIN Production.Categories AS C ON C.categoryid = P.categoryid) ON S.supplierid = P.supplierid WHERE S.country = N'Japan';
The result i got was same,i.e
supplier country productid productname unitprice categorynameSupplier QOVFD Japan 9 Product AOZBW 97.00 Meat/PoultrySupplier QOVFD Japan 10 Product YHXGE 31.00 SeafoodSupplier QOVFD Japan 74 Product BKAZJ 10.00 ProduceSupplier QWUSF Japan 13 Product POXFU 6.00 SeafoodSupplier QWUSF Japan 14 Product PWCJB 23.25 ProduceSupplier QWUSF Japan 15 Product KSZOI 15.50 CondimentsSupplier XYZ Japan NULL NULL NULL NULLSupplier XYZ Japan NULL NULL NULL NULL
and this time also i got the same result.My question is that is there any specific reason to use inner join when join the third table and not the left outer join.
