Triggers - Possible To Specify Effective Timeframe?
Oct 6, 2006
My gut tells me this can't be done quite the way I'm hoping, but maybe someone has a little insight...
Is it possible to specify a specific timeframe for which triggers should be effective? I have some make-shift replication tasks which are currently done via pure insert/update queries and various times throughout the day. In the am our "target" table is completely wiped and repopulated from our "source" table which resides on a different server.
I'm hoping to setup update triggers throughout the day to catch changes to our "source" table. These triggers should only be active for a six-hour period throughout the day. Unfortunately true replication isn't an option here.
I can think of a couple ways to take care of this such as checking GETDATE() from the trigger itself and deciding whether or not to do anything, or perhaps scheduling a job to enable and disable triggers at the appropriate time. Is there a way to setup such a schedule for the trigger itself?
I have two tables. Status and Fourhistory tables.Status table contains a status column with effectivestart and end dates as history. This column is having history at month level.
Fourhistory table maintains 4 columns as part of history with the use of effectivestart and end dates. Here history capturing is at day level.
Desired Result: I want to merge the status column into FourHistory table.Below i have given some possible sample scenarios which i face and the third table contains the expected ouput.how to achieve this in T-SQL query.
create table dbo.#Status( ID varchar(50), Status varchar(50), EffectiveStartDate datetime, EffectiveEndDate datetime, Is_Current bit
I'm trying to write a query which would bring back customers who are returning within a certain timeframe after their initial contact. Query 1 would be something like:
Select CustomerID, OrderID, StartDate, EndDate FROM tblOrders
I would then like to bring back a recordset which showed any follow up orders within a timescale. Query 2:
Select CustomerID, OrderID, StartDate, EndDate where EndDate is less than 6 months after Query1.EndDate Joined by Query1.CustomerID = Query2.CustomerID
I haven't got as far as writing the T-SQL yet. I'm trying to think of a way to do it.
I have a table with addresses and activity dates. I need to be able to retrieve the past 3 activity dates and see if the first and last occurred within 15 days. If so, I need to flag them.
Using max date gets me the last date but not the previous two. I was trying to use top 3 in desc order and that didnt seem to work either.
I have created ssrs report which has a parameter for start date. I want another parameter which shows time-frame of 6months,12 months,18 months,24 months which calculate dynamically from my start date
select distinct [dbo].[MSP_EpmResource_UserView].[ResourceName], [dbo].[MSP_EpmProject_UserView].[ProjectUID],[dbo].[MSP_EpmProject_UserView].[ProjectManagerName] , [dbo].[MSP_EpmTask_UserView].[TaskStartDate],[dbo].[MSP_EpmTask_UserView].[TaskFinishDate], [dbo].[MSP_EpmTask_UserView].[TaskPercentCompleted],[dbo].[MSP_EpmProject_UserView].[Project Status] AS StatusForExecutiveReporting,
I am a java developer having little bit knowledge in sql statements. can any body guide me what is the effective way of using sql statement to achieve the following goal.
here is the requirement.
1. There are 2 tables A & B.
2.The table 'B' may or maynot have an equivalent entry for the primary key of table a.
3. select column1 (of A), column 2(of B) from table a and b.
4. now column2 should give a value, if there is a corresponding entry in table b.other wise null.
5. at any time there may be 0 to 1 record in table b for the primary of table a.
When I click on the properties of a 2005 sql server database and thenpermissions.If I select a group and then effective permission, I got an error,saying that "cannot execute as the principal server because the 'xxxgroup' does not exist, this type of principal cannot be impersonated,or you do not have permission (Microsoft SQL Server; Error: 15406)"I guess the error is valid, since the group does not exist in thedatabase as a user. If so, how do I get the effective permissions of agroup?
Hi, I am looking for a sql statemnt that find the most related phrases, how to do that? For example, I want to find the related phrases bellow for the following phrase: "How to install the software" 1- "Installation does not work" 2- "installation" 3- "steps to install the software"
It's obvoius that phrase number 2 and 3 are related to that phrase, how to do that using sql?
since I create some multi-language table - I want to allow finding unicode text so I made the field: Key_Words" (ntext)
It will have a string that can include some words in different languages, so that I can find by using: SELECT Key_Words FROM MyTable WHERE Key_Words LIKE '%" & MyVar & "%' "...
The problem is that I can not apply clustered index on ntext field (or *any* index...)
I have built my own functions in the past that involve a timestamp and record lock column in each table (to support some other DB).
I am currently using SQL 2000 and was wondering if there is a better (OK, easier) way to lock records and even prevent edits from taking place when a record is open.
Can anyone provide me with some insight on tracking the history of my data using "Effective Dating"? I would like to keep track of an infinite history for many of the tables in my database and am trying to avoid duplicating data structures if possible. Any advice on this topic would be appreciated, I am most interested in any links to tutorials or support articles on subject that you may know about. I have searched the web and the forums section and have not come across much. Thanks, JAndrews
I have a table with a single effective date, rather than both a start and stop date. I have to be able to match up this table to another one with service information in it and am not sure how to get the correct record selected.
So in table one I have a personID, effective date, and lots of other fields. There are also multiple records for each personID, so say personID 1 has records with effective dates of 1/1/2007, 6/1/2007, and 1/1/2008.
Table two has personID, Service Date, and lots of other fields.
So if I am looking to match up the effective row from table one to a record in table two with a service date of 8/1/2007, how do I get the db to locate and return the record with an effective date of 6/1/2007, and only this record?
I have a large SQL Database im building, in the database there is a table for each user with certain things listed. One problem is, sometimes in a few collums, there will be like 100things listed, instead of one line.
For Example:
Products in that some users will have 1 product like "apples" but others will have many more products.
What is the most effective way of listing the data? Create new tables? Seperate the products with comma's or spaces?
How do I do it, and keep the overall db size smaller?
i have a proc that have 3 in parameter that are actually values of some of the columns in that table one parameter for each table.what is the optimized way to write query to get records on the basis of in parameters from these tables.
Not sure if you could help or not, but I need to pull the most recent effective date for this report I am trying to run, but I am getting know where. If someone can take a look at this, it would be great. Example…. pcs number 00004344 effective dates 5/1/2006 and 5/1/2007. I need it to be the most recent effective date which would be, 5/1/2007 date.

As our customers demand that we tighten our IT security in the company,I've been asked to prepare a report quarterly showing, for each user inActive directory, what his effective permissions are for every table inevery database that he has permission for on our SQL Server 2000 server. Isearched a bit for a tool to do this, but all I found was the PERMISSIONS()function for showing effective permissions of the current user. Is thereany way to do it for an arbitrary user, without logging in as them?
Reading about SQL Injection attacks I came across this example:
SSN="172-32-9999';DROP DATABASE pubs --" SqlQuery = "SELECT au_lname, au_fname FROM authors WHERE au_id = '" + SSN + "'"
One remedy given was a parameterized query as follows:
Dim cmd As new SqlCommand("SELECT au_lname, au_fname FROM authors WHERE au_id = @au_id") Dim param = new SqlParameter("au_id", SqlDbType.VarChar) param.Value = SSN cmd.Parameters.Add(param)
Why does this parameter which is defined as a varchar solve the problem? It's defined as a varchar, basically a string. Why is the result different in the solution? How is the query string in the second sample different from the one in the first? A simple question I know, but I've been wondering.
In SSMSE, if I open Server Properties and then Permissions, I can highlight a user or user group and click the 'Effective Permissions' button.
For entries like 'BUILTINUsers' or 'BUILTINAdminsitrators' I get the following error message. I don't understand what it's telling me - can anyone explain?
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express ------------------------------
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.ConnectionInfo)
------------------------------
Cannot execute as the server principal because the principal "BUILTINUsers" does not exist, this type of principal cannot be impersonated, or you do not have permission. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15406)
Notes: as fara as I know, BUILTINUsers does exist, and I do have permission.
I need to perform a lookup based on a business key and a date in the source that must be between an effective from and effective to date in the reference table. I've been able to achieve this by updating the SQL caching command on the advanced tab but the performance is very slow. I have 6 lookups of this type in the data flow with a source SQL statement that returns approx 1 million rows and this package takes over 90 minutes to run.
The caching SQL command now looks like this
select * from (select * from [ReferenceTable]) as refTable where [refTable].[Key] = ? and ? BETWEEN [refTable].[StartDate] AND [refTable].[EndDate]
and I've set up the parameters so that the business key is the first parameter and the source date is the second.
I have another lookup in the flow that does a straight equality comparison using 2 columns and the Progress tab shows that this lookup is cached (even though I haven't enabled it on the Advanced tab of the transformation editor) but none of the other lookups (using the date) appear to be cached, even though I have enabled them to be.
Can anyone suggest how I can improve the performance?
This isn€™t an problem as such, it€™s more of a debate.
If a table needs a number of update triggers which do differing tasks, should these triggers be separated out or encapsulated into one all encompassing trigger. Speaking in terms of performance, it doesn€™t make much of an improvement doing either depending upon the tasks performed. I was wondering in terms of maintenance and best practice etc. My view is that if the triggers do totally differing tasks they should be a trigger each on their own.
I would like to filter records with in effective date and expiration date; If there is no record within that range, then check for grace period records ( effective date -30 days and expiration date + 90 days)
Below is the detailed script for sample data...
declare @tab table ( sno int identity, name varchar(100), EFFECTIVE_DATE date, EXPIRATION_DATE date) insert into @tab (name, EFFECTIVE_DATE , EXPIRATION_DATE ) SELECT 'chandu', GETDATE(), NULL union all SELECT 'chandu', '2014-02-11 00:00:00' , '2014-03-20 00:00:00' union all SELECT 'AAA', '2014-01-11 00:00:00' , '2014-05-11 00:00:00' union all
I have a procedure that requires picking up the Rate based on Effective Date. This is what I have so far:
SELECT SHPD.ProductID, SHPD.ReceivedDate, SHPD.Shipper, SHIP.UnitRate FROM tblShipmentDet SHPD LEFT OUTER JOIN tblShippers ON SHIP.ProductID = SHPD.ProductID AND SHIP.Shipper = SHPD.Shipper AND Max???(SHIP.Effectivedate) <= SHPD.ReceivedDate
Because there can be more than 1 Shipper record, I would somehow need to pickup the Maximum EffectiveDate in each case. I realize I cannot use the Max aggregate in the JOIN. Not sure where to go from here. On the Mainframe I used a LOOKUP function that would return the correct EffectiveDate. Help would be appreciated.
Hi,Probably a very simple question but I'm afraid my experience at this issomewhat limited so...In a database with a many to one relationship, say orders to customers, isit preferable to have an UID for a customer and store this in the orderstable rather than the customer name, for example.CUSTOMERS++++++++++UID: Name: Address: Postcode: etc01 Alpha 12 Acacia Ave HN7YHH02 Beta 23 Acacia Ave HN6YTH03 Gamma 28 Acacia Ave HN7UYHORDERSCustomer Amount dateAlpha 100 20030823Alpha 250 20030824Beta 90 20030825Alpha 800 20030825Gamma 1000 20030826Or is it is better to have:ORDERSCustomer Amount date01 100 2003082301 250 2003082402 90 2003082501 800 2003082503 1000 20030826Assuming that the second option is the best, how far do I go? I can see howit would beof benifit to do this for orders and customers where there may beseveral hundred thousand orders and hundreds of customers, but for examplewould I need to do this for a customer contact database with titles - egeach title having a UID and using this ID in the customer table?Thanks for taking the time to read this. Any advice is gratefully received.Kind thanksChris S
Most logins I've created have been SQL Server authenticated. I assign the login newEmployee to a role existingRole, and ensure the role has the required permissions. This didn't seem to be rocket science....
My company has been provided with an application with a SQL Server back-end. My instructions were to create a Windows authenticated login and give it full access to the database. I followed the above principles, but running the application, the user got the error -
SELECT permission denied on object 'sysobjects', database 'databasename', owner 'dbo'.
So I decided to try the simplest possible scenario to make it work:
I've created a login DOMAINewEmployee with Windows authentication.
DOMAINewEmployee has been granted access to databasename.
By default, DOMAINewEmployee is a member of Public.
Public has been granted all available permissions on all objects.
ie... grant all on userTables to public
........grant all on sysobjects to public
........grant all on otherSystemTables to public
etc.
Running the application, the user still gets the above error. I'd send the problem back to the vendor, except if I've logged onto the PC as DOMAINewEmployee, querying -
select * from dbo.sysobjects
via Query Analyser produces the same error message. (An equivalent error message is produced when querying a user-created table).
To compare, I then created a login newEmployee2 with SQL Server authentication.
newEmployee2 has been granted access to databasename.
select * from dbo.sysobjects
runs successfully from Query Analyser (as to any queries on user-created tables).
What else is required to grant access to tables from a Windows authenticated login?
( What really scares me, is that the application will run if I make the Windows authenticated login a member of server roles System Administrator and Database Creators, then the application will run - but I don't want this to be the permanent solution. Even after doing this, the above query still fails in Query Analyser for that login, suggesting that there is something wrong with how I configured the permissions. )
I have a simple gridview that loads on page load. It uses an on page sqldatasource declaration in which there's a parameter in which value is already available in cookies. I added an asp:HiddenField and set that value on PageLoad() to the value of the cookies. I then set a FormParameter in the sqldatasource mapped to that hidden field. However that appears to have no effect at all. I'm guessing the sqldatasource will only use the form field after postback.
