I have a relatively simple update statement that runs fine from Query Analyzer and Enterprise Manager (two rows updated in less than 1 sec) but times out when I run it from a VBScript file.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I have two tables:
1. RubricReport
2. RubricReportDetail
How can I code this step in my stored procedure:
If @ReportID is NULL, insert a row into RubricReport table, and set @ReportID=@@IDENTITY; otherwise, update table RubricReport for columns LastUpdate and LastUpdateBy, and delete table RubricReportDetail where ReportID=@ReportID.
Table RubricReport has columns ReportID, County,Dsitrict, DataYears, LastUpdate and LastUpdateBy
Table RubricReportDetail has columns ReportID, IndicatorID, LocalPerf
Kindly help me.
Thanks in advance
We have a MS SQL Server 6.5 database table with 643,000 records.
There are several indexes including some clustered indexes.
We do a statement: update wo set udf3 = '1234567890123456' where woid = '123'
this returns immediately.
Then we try the same statement where the string is 1 character longer and it
takes 45 minutes to return. There is no indication of what the server is doing
during this time.
There is no index on UDF3 and WOID is the primary key.
Any suggestions what is happening? What can we do to correct it?
DBCC CheckTable finds no errors.
name rows reserved data index_size unused

Hi all,I am doing the change from having worked in Oracle for a long time toMS SQL server and am frustrated with a couple of simple SQL stmt's. Orat least they have always been easy.The SQL is pretty straightforward. I am updating a field with a Maxeffective dated row criteria. (PepopleSoft app)update PS_JOB as A set BAS_GROUP_ID = ' 'where EMPL_STATUS in ('D', 'L', 'R', 'S', 'T')and EFFDT = (select max(EFFDT) from PS_JOB where EMPLID = A.EMPLID)This stmt is not working. I am getting an error on the keyword 'as'. Ihave tried:update PS_JOB A set...update PS_JOB from PS_JOB A set...Same result, error on 'A' or error on 'from'.I also tried to add the table alias to the sub query, whichtechnically worked, but with wrong data result.So my question comes down to: How do I use a table alias in an updatestatement in MS SQL server?I worked around this by creating a temp table. But that does notfulfill my curiosity, nor is it an ideal solution.Thanks a lot,-OK

On the same server DatabaseA the query runs in less than 5 seconds. On DatabaseB the query times out. I can not see the execution plan for the query that times out. I am executing the query using SQL Server MGMT Studio. I have rebuilt all of the indexes, stats updated usage. Still no luck. I have checked all of the database setting and they are the same. If I comment out theste 2 lines "AND ((PostTitle LIKE '%flood%') OR (PostText LIKE '%flood%')) " the query run like it should and uses an execution plan all most the same as when using DatabaseA. Any pointers in the the right direction would be greatly apprecited!!!

I have a need to execute a SQL stmt on SQL 6.5 from a 7.0 box and vice
versa. I know that in 7.0, you can create a remote server and execute
statements across 7.0 servers, but can it be done from 6.5 to 7.0 and
7.0 to 6.5?
It's for a conversion project and time is the essence.
TIA,
Mike
How do I use the select statement to create a blank field in a temp table, so I can use the update statement to populate the data later.
I tried [Select ' ' as field] and then tried the update statement to later populate data and I am getting the following error:
Msg 8152, Level 16, State 14, Line 1
String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated.

I want to check if the select returned an empty set or not. I cannot use @@rowcount because i am assigning the values to the local vars. I tried
if @strCourseNameRegFor is null
begin
set @err = 'No courses';
end
but for some reason even if there are any records in the set, the if condition is getting satisfied. Can anyone help?
How to get recordset from only last SELECT stmt executed???
this is part of my code.. in T-Sql
Create proc some mySp
...
AS
...
set nocount on
if (@SelUserID is null)
select 0
else if (@SelUserID = @userID)
select 1
else
begin
select * -- select a.
from dms_prsn_trx_log
where @incNo = ult_incid_no and
prsn_trx_no = 10 and
trx_log_txt = @logText
if (@@rowcount != 0)
set @isForwardedByUser = 1
select 2 -- select b. I NEED This value.
end
set nocount off
GO
here it executes select a, b.
But, I want mySp return last executed select result. which is here "select 2"
I thought set nocount ON does that, but it doesn't.
How can I do???
Hi Everyone,
For my application, i am writing a generalized Sp for the Select Stmt.
I have started with as shown below,
Create procedure proSelect
@TabName varchar(1000),
@ColName varchar(1000),
@ConName varchar(1000)
As
Begin
Declare @str Varchar(8000)
If @ColName = '' Set @ColName = '* '
else Set @ColName = @ColName + ' '
Set @str = 'Select ' +@ColName+ 'From ' +@tabname
If @ConName <> ''
Set @str = @str + ' Where '+ @ConName
exec (@str)
End;
I wan to more generalize it.. so that all the functionalities of select stmt can be accomplished with this sp...
Can anyone help ???

Hello friends , I have table (MoneyTrans) with following structure
[Id] [bigint] NOT NULL,
[TransDate] [smalldatetime] NOT NULL,
[TransName] [varchar](30) NOT NULL, -- CAN have values 'Deposit' / 'WithDraw'
[Amount] [money] NOT NULL
I need to write a query to generate following output <br>
Trans Date, total deposits, total withdrawls, closing balance <br>
i.e. Trans Date, sum(amount) for TransName='Deposit' and Date=TransDate , sum(amount) for TransName=Withdraw and Date=TransDate , Closing balance (Sum of deposit - sum of withdraw for date < = TransDate )
I am working on this for past two days with out getting a right solution. Any help is appreciated

What is much more funny, server is totaly busy with thisquery, and it's procesor jumps on 100%.Now, because the query is builded dynamicly, by a user selections,that's why we decided on such a parser ... problem is, it is notworking :(Can I change index on dateEvt somehow, to sped this up?Maybe construct query somehow different, to get this over max() date?Please helpMatik

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've created a Stored Procedure which performs a Select against my table, and displays the rows returned via these stmts -
@RowCount int Output
SELECT @rowcount = @@RowCount
This Works fine when Executed from SQL Server, but when trying to invoke the SP from my ASP page it complains that the SP expects parameter '@RowCount' which was not supplied.
I don't need to supply it when invoking the SP directly, why do I need to supply it from ASP?
I tried defining it as NULL within my SP, but can't seem to get it to accept both the NULL & Output parms.
And while I'm at it, how do I get my ASP page to display this @RowCount value?

Hi there,
The following is my table whereby i have joined projects table with issue table (this is 1 to many relationship).
I have the following query:
SELECT
odf.mbb_sector sectorid,
SUM(case when odf.mbb_projecttype = 'lkp_val_appl' then 1 else 0 end) total_appl,
SUM(case when odf.mbb_projecttype = 'lkp_val_infrastructure' then 1 else 0 end) total_infra,

SUM(case when odf.mbb_projecttype = 'lkp_val_nonit' then 1 else 0 end) total_nonit,
SUM(case when odf.mbb_projecttype = 'lkp_val_adhocrptdataextract' or
odf.mbb_projecttype = 'lkp_val_productionproblem' or
odf.mbb_projecttype = 'lkp_val_maintwoprogchange' then 1 else 0 end) total_others,

AND odf.mbb_projecttype not in ('lkp_val_budget','lkp_val_itpc')
AND odf.mbb_funcunit = 'lkp_val_operation'
GROUP BY
odf.mbb_sector
which returns me the following result :
.
The problem is at the lkp_val_infosystem where it returns 3 instead of 1 in the total_infra column. How do I correct my case stmt to return the correct no of projects breakdown by different project type? Currently, only the total_prj which returns correct data.

I have an application written in C#, which allows the user to load their destination schema (in xml format) and writer their transformation expressions either in VBScript or in T-SQL. It uses DTS to do the ETL job.
Everything works great except with one problem. If there is a hypen ("-") in any of the destination attributes, the transformation fails with syntax error. It happens only with VBScript.
Here is my transformation:
"Function Main()
DTSDestination("Field-1") = #01/01/2004#
End Function"
If I replace the hypen with underscore, it works without any problem.
Does anyone have any idea about this problem?

How do i get my server to run a vbscript (yet to be created but i guess it will be in a DTS package???) when an insert runs on a table?
We need to analyse the browser versions hitting our intranet and catch the ones that are too old (earlier than IE5.5). I have the asp inserting a row with the IP address of the browser but i need to run a command line query to get the machine name from DNS (nslookup 111.222.333.444). This nslookup can be run from a vbscript.
Do i need to used a stored procedure in the process somewhere?
any thoughts welcomed
I am trying to write a DTS package at work that uses a loop to fire a query off against a different server/database at each loop iteration. Prior to the execute SQL task , I use ActiveX (VBScript) to change the Catalog and DataSource of the connection (created by drag and drop if icon). My Execute SQL task selects @@servername and getdate() just as a dummy query to make sure I am actually pointed at a different server.
While testing the properties of the connection using global variables and msgbox shows that the database (catalog) and server (data source) ip address is being changed, the result returned is always from the first server. I feel like I need to disconnect the connection object, change the parameters and then reconnect to the new server but there doesn't appear to be anyway to do this.
Anyone out there able to successfully change a connection object inthis manner??
