WARNING. A Simple Cut And Paste Of 8 Records Can Distroy A SQL Server Table
Jul 20, 2005
Today I need to copy 8 records in a table. I have to use Access 200 because
of the limitation of Enterprise Manager's inability to cope with field with
more than 900 characters. Selected records, cut, paste. I got an erroor
message about not being able to have a null Key_ID (I copied the reords and
tried to paste the Key_ID as part of the records - normally I hide the
Key_ID).
Now I can't access either the new records or the originals that I was trying
to copy (because, it would seem, they have identical primary keys). I also
cannot export the table via DTS 'unspecified error' and 'integrity
violation'.
Or delete the offending records with a Query Anaylyser delete query.
Basically the entire SQL Server database has been destroyed with a couple of
keystrokes.
Now, I've being developing database applications for over 20years and the
one thing, maybe the only thing I expect from a database server is to
protect the integrity of my data. SQL Server does not, it would seem. These
records aren't just any random unimportant records either. They contain the
'create views' that my entire application require to function and each one
approaches the 8000 record limit and have take years to perfect and just
checking that the table is valid could take me days.

greets all, ive got a table with batches of records. each group of records has a batch id as part of the PK in the form BTCXXXX where XXXX is an auto-incremented number. so lets say i have 100 batches of 20k records per batch in the table. so the distinct batch ids are BTC0200 (oldest batch) through BTC0300 (newest batch).
i only want to keep the 90 most recent batches in the table at any given time.
is it ok to just subtract 90 from the last batch id and do something like:
DECLARE @batch_id char(10)
SET @batch_id = 'BTC' + batch_num-90
DELETE FROM ITEM_BATCH
WHERE BATCH_ID < @batch_id
i want to cover if the table has more than 90 batches and if the table has less then 90 batches. is this a feasible approach?

I want my query to list all SSNS that have more than one record in the table. I have this query:
Code:
SELECT SSN, name4, count(*) from [1099_PER]
group by SSN, name4
having count(SSN) > 1
It does retrieve the right SSNS and tells me how many times the SSN occurs in the table. However, I want my query results to display their full records.
For example
SSN NAME4 COUNT
123445555 WALTER - 4
I want the query to show me all four records for this SSN. I thought removing the count field would do this, but it still gives me only one instance of each SSN.

Hi,
My scenario:
I have a master securities table which has 7 fields. As a part of the daily process I am uploading flat files into database tables. The flat files contains the master(static) security data as well as the analytics(transaction) data. I need to
1) separate the master (static) data from the flat files,
2) check whether that data is present in the master table, if not then insert that data into the master table
3) If data present then move that existing record to an history table and then update the main master table.
All the 7 fields need to be checked to uniquely identify a single record in the master table.
How can this be done? Whether we can us a combination of data flow items or write a sql procedure to do all this.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
$wapnil

Table1 contains fields Groupid, UserName,Category, Dimension
Table2 contains fields Group, Name,Category, Dimension (Group and Name are not in Table1)
So basically I need to read the records in Table1 using Groupid and each time there is a Groupid then select records from Table2 where Table2.Category in (Select Catergory from Table1)
and Table2.Dimension in (Select Dimension from Table1)
In Table1 There might be 10 Groupid records all of which are different.

Ok, I'm really new at this, but I am looking for a way to automatically insert new records into tables. I have one primary table with a primary key id that is automatically generated on insert and 3 other tables that have foreign keys pointing to the primary key. Is there a way to automatically create new records in the foreign tables that will have the new id? Would this be a job for a trigger, stored procedure? I admit I haven't studied up on those yet--I am learning things as I need them. Thanks.

Hi, i have a table with all employee bio-data in a completed project. Iam now working on another project with a table that needs the same data and here iam talking about 300 records that rarely change. Instead of re-entering this data in this new table, i want to import the data from the completed project into a table in this new project. Does any one have any idea how to achieve that or is there a better option to do the same.
One more thing iam realising here is that iam going to use this same data in very many applications and some one from one department is going to enter this data in all these different applications. so i was wondering if there could be a way of having a central database that this guy can mantain and then i be able to use that table data in different applications that iam going to develop. I dont want to kill this unlucky guy with data entry tasks every time i deploy a new application.
So basically, how can make one database application sever several different applications with its data.

Hi there,
I was trying to update records of a recordset(ADODB.Recordset) returned from a stored procedure(SQL server 7.0) in ASP file, this stored procedure select records into a temporary table, so the records returned by the SP actually physically are in tempdb database rather than in the user database.
When executing Update statement , I got the error message:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e37'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Database name 'Mydatabase' ignored, referencing object in tempdb.
Any ideas/comments would be highly appreciated!

I need to return one record with concatenated string fields from a table that may contain several records. I think a cursor will be able to do what I want, but I'm not very experienced at writing them.
My data
HDR DMCD
107 TEX
107 AIR
107 LG
108 TEX
108 CAR
109 SM
I want the result of my query to find adn return each header and return the 1 or more DMCD field values concatenated. i.e.
107 TEX AIR LG
108 TEX CAR
109 SM
This is my attempt at the cursor so far
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @AACODE varchar(50),@hdr varchar(20),@dmcd varchar(20)
DECLARE AAROW_cursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT aaglhdrid,aatrxdimid
FROM aag30003
OPEN AAROW_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM AAROW_cursor
INTo @hdr, @dmcd
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
set @aacode=@aacode+@dmcd
select @hdr,@dim,@aacode
FETCH NEXT FROM aarow_cursor
INTO @hdr, @dmcd
END
CLOSE AAROW_cursor
DEALLOCATE aarow_cursor

I am trying to write a query that will retrieve all students of a particular class and also any rows in HomeworkLogLine if they exist (but return null if there is no row). I thought this should be a relatively simple LEFT join but I've tried every possible combination of joins but it's not working.
SELECT
Student.StudentSurname + ', ' + Student.StudentForename AS Fullname,
HomeworkLogLine.HomeworkLogLineTimestamp,
HomeworkLog.HomeworkLogDescription,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY HomeworkLogLine.HomeworkLogLineStudentID ORDER BY
[Code] ...
It's only returning two rows (the students where they have a row in the HomeworkLogLine table).Â

I have table 'stores' that has 3 columns (storeid, article, doc), I have a second table 'allstores' that has 3 columns(storeid(always 'ALL'), article, doc). The stores table's storeid column will have a stores id, then will have multiple articles, and docs. The 'allstores' table will have 'all' in the store for every article and doc combination. This table is like the master lookup table for all possible article and doc combinations. The 'stores' table will have the actual article and doc per storeid.
What I am wanting to pull is all article, doc combinations that exist in the 'allstores' table, but do not exist in the 'stores' table, per storeid. So if the article/doc combination exists in the 'allstores' table and in the 'stores' table for storeid of 50 does not use that combination, but store 51 does, I want the output of storeid 50, and what combination does not exist for that storeid. I will try this example:
'allstores' 'Stores'
storeid doc article storeid doc article
ALL 0010 001 101 0010 001
ALL 0010 002 101 0010 002
ALL 0011 001 102 0011 002
ALL 0011 002
So I want the query to pull the one from 'allstores' that does not exist in 'stores' which in this case would the 3rd record "ALL 0011 001".

I have a scenario where I have to Update a table with date when there are new records in another table
For example:
I load ODS table with the data from a file in SSIS. the file has CustomerID and other columns.
Now, when there is new record for any customerID in Ods, then Update the dbo table with the most recent record for every CustomerID(i.e. update the date column in dbo for that customerID). Also Include an Identifier that relates back to the ODS table. How do I do this?

I got some xml that is essentially an html table that I need to turn into a standard table resultset from a stored proc. If you take this xml and save it as html that is the desired resultset I am looking for. I realize the <td> tags repeat so I would just prefer 'col' + positional index for the col name. Keep in mind that <td> could be is 1 to n.
<table>
<tr>
<td>cell1</td>
<td>cell2</td>
<td>cell3</td>
[Code] .....
This is my attempt but I can't figure out how to get separate cols
declare @GridData xml = '<table><tr><td>cell1</td><td>cell2</td><td>cell3</td></tr><tr><td>cell4</td><td>cell5</td><td>cell6</td></tr><tr><td>cell7</td><td>cell8</td><td>cell8</td></tr></table>'

I am using a simple stored proc shown below which inserts a record and updates the same record field called SortID with the Primary Key Column data of the same record.Everything was working fine until few days back. The site has been deployed 2 years back and was LIVE ever since.
We have got thousands of records in this Credits table. The table field called SortID is used for moving the credits up and down.
My problem is now after 2 years of deploying the table has got duplicate records, suprisingly a same credit is appearing under different MemberID and with the same SortID.
How are these duplicate records inserted with a simple insert statement & update ??
Is this a Locking problem or Transaction problem I have no idea.
Any ideas will be of great help
Thanks in Advance

I am using the default ASPNETDB.MDF database for a project in SSE 2005 and VWD 2005. I need to use the UserName field from the aspnet_Users table as a foreign key in another table I have in the database. I am doing this so that I can grab data generated from additional fields that I'm adding to the membership registration wizard. However, I am obviously missing some steps since the user name doesn't show up in my second table. What should I do besides creating a relationship between the two fields and tables? Should I be writing some sort of SQL statement to accomplish this?

Hi
I'm getting a strange sql server agent warning in my server's event log (not in the sql server log). Its occurring after each agent job runs and says:
"Unable to determine if the owner (sa) of job Trans Backup has server access (reason: Unable to connect to server - check SQL Server and SQL Agent errorlogs)."
I have checked the errorlogs - nothing.
My job completes OK, but I get this warning.
I'm running SQL Server 2000 SP2.
I'm running in a cluster.
The problem has only occurred since a reboot yesterday.
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I have a situation where deleting old records is blocking updating latest records on highly transactional table and getting timeout errors from application.
In details, I have one table called Tran_table1 in OLTP database. This Tran_table1 is highly transactional table, it will receive data for insert/update continuously
While archiving 2 years old records from Tran_table1 into Tran_table1_archive in batches(using DELETE OUTPUT INTO clause), if there is any UPDATEs on Tran_table1,these updates are getting blocked and result is timeout errors in application.
Is there any SQL Server hints to avoid blocking ..

I am trying to migrate an Access database to SQL Express. I created the new database in SQL Express, and added the tables and columns. At this point, I have done so without defining any keys, indexes, or relationships. For most of the tables I was able to copy the data from Access and paste same into the SQL Express tables.
However, I am unable to create the last table, which is a link table to manage the many-to-many relationships.
The table has the following columns:
MediumCode (bigint, null)
ArtistCode (bigint, null)
SongCode (bigint, null)
TrackNumber (int, null)
Here is a sample of the data I am trying to paste:
1,180,204,1
2,2,45,1
3,3,80,1
4,4,30,1
5,5,22,1
6,6,108,1
When I perform the paste there is no error message. The data just doesn€™t get added to the table. I don€™t understand why the other tables worked and this one does not. I am trying to paste 85 rows. Any ideas?
Also I tried to do this as an INSERT query, but SQL Express does not like the following syntax:
INSERT INTO [Music].[dbo].[tblMediumDetails]
([MediumCode]
,[ArtistCode]
,[SongCode]
,[TrackNumber])
VALUES
(1, 180, 204, 1),
(2, 2, 45, 1),
(3, 3, 80, 1),
(4, 4, 30, 1),
(5, 5, 22, 1),
(6, 6, 108, 1)
Do I have to create an INSERT statement for each row? Is there a bulk load function available in SQL Express, or is that not available with the free version?
Thanks,
Robert

Hello all,
A little question regarding SQL Server DB's.
I have a two tables containing customers invoices, one for the invoices header (ie: customer #, invoice date,... KEY: invoice # + invoice date) and another for the details of the invoices (ie: each invoice line details KEY: invoice # + line #). I need to periodically remove invoices older than a certain timeframe (ex: all invoices older than 48 months).
How can I proceed?
I am fairly new with SQL server.... Please help!

I have a table with about half a million records, each representing a patient in my county.
Each record has a field (RRank) which basically sorts the patients as to how "unwell" they are according to a previously-applied algorithm. The most unwell patient has an RRank of 1, the next-most unwell has RRank=2 etc.
I have just deleted several hundred records (which relate to patients now deceased) from the table, thereby leaving gaps in the RRank sequence. I want to renumber the remaining recs to get rid of the gaps.
I can see what I want to accomplish by using ROW_NUMBER, thus:
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() Over (ORDER BY RRank) as RecNumber, RRank
FROM RPL
ORDER BY RRank
I see the numbers in the RecNumber column falling behind the RRank as I scan down the results
My question is: How to convert this into an UPDATE statement? I had hoped that I could do something like:
UPDATE RISC_PatientList_TEMP
SET RRank = ROW_NUMBER() Over (ORDER BY RRank);
but the system informs that window functions will only work on SELECT (which UPDATE isn't) or ORDER BY (which I can't legally add).
