Using t-sql, how to list all views in dependency order? I'm trying to script out the creation of views, but need to make sure they are in the correct order when i execute them.
View 2 RepliesIn SQL 2K...i need to write a script that writes a script that creates all views in the order that they are nested and I am feeling lazy. Does anyone have anything handy?For example if View_BOB says...CREATE VIEW VIEW_BOBASSELECT COL_1 FROM VIEW_JOHNI need the script to generate a script that creates View_JOHN before View_BOB.

I want to get a list of views and there dependent views on an existing database. But when i ran this query it dint fetch certain views since there were no entries in sysdepends. But the views reference existed in sysobjects.
select distinct so.[name] as parent,so2.[name] as child
from sysobjects so
inner join sysdepends sd on so.id = sd.id AND So.xtype = 'V'
inner join sysobjects so2 on sd.depid = so2.id AND So2.xtype = 'V'
order by parent,child.
How could i resolve this issue or what is the best way to identify the dependency hierarchy between views.
This was tested on SQL SERVER 2000.
I need a solution (script) where I can pull all objects(DB's incudes tables, views, synonyms, stored procedures, primary key, foreign key, triggers etc) definitions from the server in a dependency order. I want to generate a script from these objects, where if I run script all objects should be created the way it is..
.All dependencies should be automatically available in script in a dependency order. What is the best way to bring all objects (definition) in form of scripts.
These are the fields am looking - databsename, schemaname, objectname, typeofobject, depenedencyorder (nothing but level)...
Inside some TSQL programmable object (a SP/or a query in Management Studio)I have a parameter containing the name of a StoreProcedure+The required Argument for these SP. (for example it's between the brackets [])
EX1 : @SPToCall : [sp_ChooseTypeOfResult 'Water type']
EX2 : @SPToCall : [sp_ChooseTypeOfXMLResult 'TABLE type', 'NODE XML']
EX3 : @SPToCall : [sp_GetSomeResult]
I can't change thoses SP, (and i don't have a nice output param to cach, as i would need to change the SP Definition)All these SP 'return' a 'select' of 1 record the same datatype ie: NVARCHAR. Unfortunately there is no output param (it would have been so easy otherwise. So I am working on something like this but I 'can't find anything working
DECLARE @myFinalVarFilledWithCachedOutput
NVARCHAR(MAX);
DECLARE @SPToCall NVARCHAR(MAX) = N'sp_ChooseTypeOfXMLResult
''TABLE type'', ''NODE XML'';'
DECLARE @paramsDefintion = N'@CatchedOutput NVARCHAR(MAX) OUTPUT'

I have just transferred my site to a new server with SBS R2 Premium, so the site's database changed from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. I find that searches are now returning results in random order, even though they use a view with an Order By clause to force the order I want.
I find that the results are unordered when I test the view with Management Studio, so the issue is unrelated to my VB/ASP Net code.
Using my SQL update tool (SQL Compare, from Redgate) I find that there are no differences in the views, or the underlying tables.
Using Management Studio to test a number of views, I find that I have a general problem with all views. For example, one of the simpler views is simply a selection of fields from one table, with an Order By clause on the tables primary key: - SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT GDQid, GDQUser, GDQGED, GDQOption, gdqTotalLines, GDQTotalIndi, GDQRestart, GDQCheckpointMessage, GDQStarted, GDQFinished, gdqCheckpointRecordCountr FROM dbo.GEDQueue ORDER BY GDQid DESC
If I right-click the view (from Management Studio's Object Explorer pane), select Design from the menu to show the view's design, and then click the Execute SQL icon, the view's results are displayed perfectly, in descending order of GDQid. However, if I select "Open View" the view's results are displayed out of order.
When I do this with the SQL 2000 database, both Design/Execute and Open View correctly display the data in the correct order.
Is there something that I should check in the SQL 2005 installation - some option that has been set incorrectly?

Is there a way to make EM script all views of a database in the order in which they depend on each other?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI am using SQL 2005 merge replication with SP1 hotfix build 9.00.2227.00. This build is in use rather than SP2 because a fix I need is not yet available for SP2
Essentially the problem is as follows:
1) Initial state is that merge replication of table and views is working fine
2) I then alter one view which references a new view in the same publication
3) Synchronization processes the view scripts in the wrong order regardless of the processing order
4) An 'invalid object name' error results as the new view has not arrived at the subscriber when alteration of the first view is attempted
The number suffixes on the script filenames in the snapshot folder do, however,appear to be numbered correctly so as to process in the correct order
Note that I have tried using the default processing order and have also set the processing order explicitly using sp_changemergearticle - but the problem still occurs
I have tried to recreate this problem on a small database with a minimum of articles, but attempts at repro have failed to date with a simple configuration - ie the processing order applied is correct
Is there an known problem in this area?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated

OK,
I have two data tables where depending on the time line item it is, it needs a different join.
So, it's like this:
Table Credit Card
Table Memo
If Credit Card is VISA, join on column A
If Credit Card is MA, join on column B
So, I created two views. One view has all the info joined on column A. The other view has all the info joined on column B.
How do I create a third view that will output all the data from View A and View B without making it into a cartesian product?
I can't change the table structure due to legacy application/data issues.
Thanks!
There are about 300 fields in a views.
How to reorder all fields by alphabet?
For example, from script of views like below:
select name, date, amount from order
re-order fields' name like below:
select amount, date, name from order
For about 300 fields view, how to code to re-order fields' name?
I have a few databases that are using Partitioned Views in order to manage the table sizes and they all work well for our purposes. Recently I noticed a table that had grown to 400+ million rows and want to partition it as well, so I went about creating new base tables based on the initial table's structure, just adding a column to both table and primary key to be able to build a Partitioned View on them.The first time around, on a test system, everything worked flawlessly but when I put the same structure in place on the production system I get the dreaded "UNION ALL view 'DBName.dbo.RptReportData' is not updatable because the primary key of table '[DBName].[dbo].[RptReportData_201405]' is not included in the union result. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 4444)" error.
I have searched high and low and everything I see points to a few directives in order for a UNION ALL view to be updatable:
- Need a partitioning column that is part of the primary key
- Need a CHECK constraint that make the base tables exclusive, i.e. data cannot belong to more than one table
- Cannot have IDENTITY or calculated columns in the base tables
- The INSERT statement needs to specify all columns with actual values, i.e. not DEFAULT
Well, according to me, my structure fulfills these conditions but the INSERT fails anyway. CREATE scripts below scripted from SQL Server. I only modified them to be on a single row - it is easier to verify that they are identical in a text editor that way.

Hi!I have a database (Sql) which has a table in it named news_tbl, within this table I have a column called newsDate which is filled with a timestamp in the format dd/mm/yyyy 00:00:00. The date shows when the news item was created but the time is not used hence the reason its always 00:00:00.
I have an archive page which allows the user to view the news articles by the month they were posted. I have an SQL statement just which looks like this:
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:news2007aConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="Select Distinct LEFT(DATENAME(month, newsDate), 3) As TheMonth, DateName(month,newsDate) As TheFullMonth, DateName(year,newsDate) As TheYear, DatePart(month, newsDate) As TheOrder From news_tbl Order By TheMonth ASC, TheOrder DESC">
</asp:SqlDataSource>
and the output just now is
April 2008
December 2007
February 2008
January 2008
March 2008
November 2007
October 2007
September 2007
I would like the output to be the latest month first i.e. April 2008 then March 2008 then February 2008 and so on. I have tried a couple of different SQL statements but can't get the output to appear in the order I want.
Can anyone suggest where I am going wrong. Thanks,

Hi,
I have a situation where I need to sort the output of a cursor. But since the sort criteria are rather complex, I am NOT able to use the Order By clause directly with the cursor definition statement.
Hence, I need to have a solution where I will use a dummy (calculated) field within the CURSOR and I want the output of this cursor sorted by the dummy field that I calculated within the cursor itself.
Please let me know the different possibilities in this scenario.
Thank you in advance

I wonder how the query will be executed when querying to views.Is database engine will be extract the tables that are used to create the view and query for the result ?

Hi -
I have a SSIS package that dumps data from an internal table to a flat file output using standard data flow tasks. The entire table is output - no special SQL. Most of the time the records are placed in the output file in the same order as the internal DB table, but occasionally the order appears to be more random. When that happens, the record order in the internal table is correct - it is just the output.
I can find no properties that seem to affect this. I would appreciate any hints and advice that anyone can give me. Has anyone else encountered this same problem?
Thanks in advance,

I have a table where on all business days per month, for different trades, a price is uploaded, so a simplified extract:
Trade PublishingDate Price
10 2Jan15 100
:
10 31Jan15 150
20 2Jan15 75
:
20 31Jan15 110
:
I'm trying to write a view that will:
a) Give me the average for each trade, per month.
b) Give me the average of the last 7 days, for each trade, per month.
The first one is easy:
SELECT TradeWSRate.Trade,
CASE MONTH(TradeWSRate.PublishedDate) WHEN 1 THEN 'Jan'
WHEN 2 THEN 'Feb'
WHEN 3 THEN 'Mar'
WHEN 4 THEN 'Apr'
WHEN 5 THEN 'May'
[code]...
Column "TradeWSRate.PublishedDate" is invalid in the ORDER BY clause because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.How can I change the above select to work? Ideally I want to do this all in one view, and not use functions.
I am using below query i want to order it by month so that data is displayed like
Select (count(I.Colour)) as Litres,
DATEName(MONTH,ShipDate) as [Loaded Date] from InkData I
group by DATEName(MONTH,ShipDate)
order by DATEName(MONTH,ShipDate)
Right now it is not ordering by month, it is ordering alphabetically.I want this to be ordered like
Jan
Feb
March
I have two tables, one is called (questions), the second one (answers).
questions columns are (ID,questionTitle)
answers columns are (ID,questionID,answer, answerDate)
I use this query to load data: "SELECT q.questionTitle,COUNT (a.ID),a.answerDate FROM questions q LEFT JOIN answers a ON q.ID=a.questionID" the query is easy, but my problem which I can't solve is how can I fetch the data ordered by the column answerDate, I mean I want the first record to be the one which has the most recent answer and so on.
I have the following query in a user-defined function. It accepts a single string parameter, but for the sake of simplicity, I have substituted actual strings in the query. It basically checks the passed string. If it ends with "Id", it strips off the "Id" and returns the resulting string. If it ends with "Id" followed by a digit, it strips that off and returns the string.
SELECT CASE
WHEN LEN('IncidentViolationId') > 2 AND RIGHT('IncidentViolationId', 2) = 'Id' THEN LEFT('IncidentViolationId', LEN('IncidentViolationId') - 2)
WHEN PATINDEX('%Id[0-9]', 'IncidentViolationId') > 1 THEN LEFT('IncidentViolationId', PATINDEX('%Id[0-9]', 'IncidentViolationId') - 1)
ELSE 'IncidentViolationId' END
This code has worked flawlessly for quite some time and all of a sudden I get "Invalid length parameter passed to left function". I understand why LEFT() would normally fail if I passed it a -1 for the second parameter, but in this scenario, asI understand it, it never should have reached the second WHEN condition since the first one evaluates to true. Why and why all of a sudden?
This is kind of a follow-up on my previous post "Get 15th and last day trans". Our client has asked for open sales orders dollars for a given date range to include order dollars active as of the 15th of the month and the last day of the month.
Below is what I started and I hard-coded the Jan15Open and JanEndOpen so you could see what I am trying to accomplish. So, for example, if I pass @StartDate of '01-01-2013' and @EndDate of '12-31-2014' I could get back results for 01-15-2013, 01-31-2015, 02-15-2013, 02-28-2013, etc. all the way to 12-31-2014. Note that the results will depend on the TransDate datetime column. Once I get the query correct I plan to create a temp table to hold the results so I can report them back in a web page.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[afa_selSalesOrdersOpen]
@StartDatedatetime = null,
@EndDatedatetime = null

I am using SQL 2012 SE. I have 2 databases say A and B with same structure and relationships. There are 65 tables in each database. A is already replicating data to database C for 35 tables. Now I need to move data from A to B which is greater than getdate()-1 everyday for all the tables and once the move is done I need to delete this data from A. And samething the next day. Since this is for 65 tables its challenging to identify the insert order. Once the insert order is identified the delete order will be the reverse of it.
Is there a tool or any SP that could generate the insert order script? The generate scripts data only is generating the entire data and these databases are almost 400GB. So I thought of generating a schema only script and then create an empty database with it and then generate data only to identify the order of insert. But it wont generate anything since there is no data.
I am trying to find a solution in order to make a pivot dynamically. One of my department charge every month all the sales figure in one table and I need to pick up the last two months archived in order to make a pivot and to see if something is changed or not. What I am trying to do is to have these last two months dynamically. create table forum (customer varchar (50), nmonth varchar(6), tot int, archived datetime)
insert into forum values ('Pepsi','201503',100,'2015-04-28'),
('Pepsi','201504',200,'2015-04-28'),
('Texaco','201503',600,'2015-04-28'),
('Texaco','201504',300,'2015-04-28'),

As you can see I have to change manually the values underlined every months but it's a temporary solution. How can I set up the last two months in a dynamic way?
I have an XML field with some data that looks about like this:
<steps>
<step userName="abc"></step>
<step userName="abc"></step>
<step userName="saf2"></step>

I have a query something like this:
SELECT XmlField.value('(//step/@userName)[1]', 'VARCHAR(100)') AS userName
FROM theTable
I would like to have some kind of indicator in my TSQL results of the number of each <step> node. For instance, saf2 would be a 3. I think this is similar to a ROW_NUMBER() kind of function in normal table data.
Is there a good way to get a 1, 2, 3, and 4 value for this sample data?
I am trying to update a table and then also use OUTPUT clause to capture some of the columns. The code that I am using is something like the one below

I’m thinking about the best way to run these queries, which need to be run regularly.
The first query is two tables linked, one is a data table containing a unique person identifier and three activity fields, the second a lookup table with an activity_type linked to the activity in the table data.
Data Table
PersonID
Lots of other fields
Activity1
Activity2
Activity3
The ACTIVITY fields can contain data anywhere between all being NULL and all being complete.
Lookup Table
ActivityID
ActivityDesc ( which appears in Activity 1 – 3)
ActivityType
I’d like to create a function which will create a recordset containing the Person ID and the Activity Type. I am unsure as to whether to do this in a way which will create one record for each person, or potentially 3 records for each person. This is how I have done the 3 records:
SELECT PersonID, Activity1 As Sport, ActivityType
From dbo.tblActivity
LEFT JOIN dbo.tblLUActivityType ON dbo.tblActivity.Activity1 = dbo.tblLUActivityType.ActivityDesc
UNION
SELECT PersonID, Activity2 As Sport, ActivityType
[Code] ...
And this is how I have done the 1 record:
SELECT ClientID,
Activity1,
(SELECT ActivityType from dbo.tblLUActivityType where ActivityDesc = Activity1) As ActivityType1,
Activity2,
(SELECT ActivityType from dbo.tblLUActivityType where ActivityDesc = Activity2) As ActivityType2,
Activity3,
(SELECT ActivityType from dbo.tblLUActivityType where ActivityDesc = Activity3) As ActivityType3
From dbo.tblActivity
LEFT JOIN dbo.tblLUActivityType ON dbo.tblActivity.Activity3 = dbo.tblLUActivityType.ActivityDesc
Order by PersonID
The reason I would like to do this is because I need to create a stored procedure which returns one record per person with two fields (Person Id, ActivityType) which states their ActivityType depending on certain rules:
Rule 1: If any of Activity 1 – 3 are ‘O’ report the Person ID and ActivityType = ‘O’
Rule 2: Of the rest of the recordset, if any of Activity 1 – 3 are ‘N’ but none of Activity 1-3 are ‘O’ or ‘A’ then report the Person ID and ‘N’.
Rule 3: Of the rest of the recordset, if any of Activity 1 – 3 are ‘A’ but none of Activity 1-3 are ‘O’ or ‘N’ then report the Person ID and ‘A’.
Rule 4: Of the rest of the recordset, if any of Activity 1 – 3 are ‘A’ and one of the is ‘N’ then report the Person ID and ‘AN’.
At the end this I’m looking for one recordset with two fields containing a personID and one of ‘O’, ‘A’, ‘N’ or ‘AN’. I can do the first part of this in any way necessary, as long as the second part returns the recordset I need.
