Ways To Make This Work: Several Selectable Related Record For One Main Record.
Apr 6, 2007
Hey all!
Sorry for the less then descriptive post title but I didn't find a better way to describe it. I'm developing an app in the express editions of VB and SQLserver. The application is a task/resource scheduler. The main form will have a datepicker or weekly overview and show all tasks scheduled per day. The problem is, I've got one or more people assigned to tasks and I wonder what's the best way to design this. Personally, I'd go for one Task table, a People table and a table that provides a link between them (several record per task, one for each person assigned linking TaskID and PplID). However, I don't see a nice way of showing this data to the end user, allowing him to edit/add etc on ONE screen.
To fix that the only way I see is just add columns to the Task table for every person with select boxes. This way everything can be done on one simple screen. This obviously does present some future issues.
On top of this, which people are available on a day varies and there should be an option to allow a user to set who is available on a specific day. Which would lead me to my first idea and add another table that would provide this. but then I'm having design issues again for the form.
I'm kinda stuck atm, can anyone shed some light on this. I'm sure there is an elegant way of doing this but I'm failing at finding it.
Thanks in advance,
Johan

I have a table (F_POLICY_TRANSACTION).This table has a couple of million rows in it.I am using a column named POLICY_TRANSACTION_BKEY to select records to delete (approximately 750k using the code below)This column has a non-clustered index applied..This is the code I have used:
WHILE 1 = 1
BEGIN
DELETE TOP(50000)
FROM F_POLICY_TRANSACTION with (tablockx)
[code]....
Problem is, it takes around 10 minutes to run.Is there any way it can be made more efficient?I have tried varying the rowcount with no success

I have an SSIS package (SQL Server 2005) that gathers statistics (ie total records created, items created, items shipped, etc). I have made a UNION query to get the data (because it has to look at different date fields) that returns the following results:
ID QTY
Created 20
Shipped 30
Received 35
What I what to do is store this data as 1 record like this:
Date Qty_Created Qty_Shipped Qty_Received
11/20/2007 20 30 35
How can I accomplish this?
Thanks

Hello,
I'm a bit new to MS-SQL so i thought maybe you could help me.
This is my prob. I have an Access application that i have upsized to a MS-SQL server. I have a query based on 3 tables: Customers, Companys and Payreminders. When i run this query, i can't add new records or make any changes.
If i only run the query with the tables: companys and payreminders i can add new records and edit them. If i run a query that's based on companys and customers, i can edit and add new records, but when i run the query based on companys and customers i can't add or edit records.
companys, payreminders: Editable
payreminders, companys: Editable
Companys, customers: Non editable
Companys, payreminders, customers: Non editable
Something must go wrong when i use the companys and customers table. Can anybody help or give a suggestion what to do.
Thanks.

I have a table of magazine issues. The table are defined as below:
issueID int Unchecked
name varchar(50) Unchecked
title varchar(100) Checked
description varchar(500) Checked
crntIssue bit Checked
archived bit Checked
navOrder int Checked
dateCreate datetime Checked
And here is what I want. Is there a way when inserting/updating or on the table itself to make sure that there is only one record that is marked as the current issue? The way I have it here in my table, any records can have the current issue (crntIssue) field checked. I only want one crntIssue field checked regardless of how many records or issues are in the table. If there is no way to automatically have SQL Server to manage that then that means I must check all the records before hand before the update/insert query, correct?

HI if I have a recrod in a plain text file , and it has some colums information including FromDate and ThruDates if the date range is over 30 days, Then the record should split and becomes 2 records rather then one.
for example:
if i have MemberID=255 FromDate 07/01/06 and ThruDate = 08/25/06
than
that single record should be saved as two records
like
Record#1 FromDate ThruDate MemberID
1 07/01/06 07/30/06 225
2 08/31/06 08/25/06 225
Well the file is a fixed length file.
On a web page. Page is uploaded.
when the fixed length file is uploaded it converted into the xml file.
After the xml file goes through the validation, it gets ready for the database.
Each field in the fixed length file was a xml node and sent to the database.
Now what I have to check from the sqlManagement studio. Insert a query with the test query as I decribed earlier, and instead of it get to the database it should be splited into two record instead of one and get in the database table. And if dates are in between 30 days, then the recrod go into table with out any other issue.

Hi.
I have a table where I need to set some rows to Read only (to protect the rows from being edited). Can I do this with a trigger checking against a column (where dataReadOnly = 1)?
Or is there a better way?
thankyou

I have a table full of items that have a "date_updated" field. I'd like this field to be set to GETDATE() whenever a record is updated. I've got this trigger:
CREATE trigger tr_cp_shiptos_u on dbo.cp_shiptos for update as
update cp_shiptos set date_updated = GETDATE()
Problem is, of course, there's no WHERE clause..yet. I don't know how to refer to the record that was updated.... for example:
CREATE trigger tr_cp_shiptos_u on dbo.cp_shiptos for update as
update cp_shiptos set date_updated = GETDATE()
where shipto_id = @THIS_ID
I imagine there's some kind of builtin variable or something like that. How is this done?
Thanks in advance.

Approximately once a month, a client of ours sends us a bunch ofcomma-delimited text files which I have to clean up and then importinto their MS SQL database. All last week, I was using a Cold Fusionscript to upload the cleaned up files and then import the records theycontained into the database, though obviously, the process tookfriggin' forever, and could have been done 500x quicker had I done itdirectly on the server. My SQL knowledge is somewhat limited, however,so I had no choice but to stick to what I know, which is Cold Fusionprogramming.In the process of cleaning up some of these comma-delimited text files,I inadvertently messed up some of the 10-digit zip codes, by applyingthe wrong Excel formula to the ZIP columns. These records were importedinto the database with obviously incorrect zip codes (ie: singledigit). So now, I have to find the best and quickest way possible tocompare these records in the database (that have the single digit zipcodes) with the unmodified data, and to update the zip codes with thecorrect data.I've had no luck setting up a TEXT file as an ODBC datasource, -- soI've ruled that out completely. I've also managed to import theunmodified data into an Access database, and to set it up as a ColdFusion datasource. But it seems this 2nd road I've been traveling downis not the ideal approach either.My question is, -- assuming that I'll be able to import the recordsfrom the Access database into their own table on the SQL server, -- howshould I go about the process of updating these records that have theincorrect zip codes?Here is the specific logic I would need to employ:* Here is a list of records, each of which contains an incorrect1-digit zip code (Database A / Table A)* Here is a much longer list of records (which contains all of therecords from Database A / Table A + thousands more), each of whichcontains a correct 5-digit zip code (Database B / Table B)* Compare both lists of records and run the following query/update:When a record in Database A / Table A has matching "name", "address1",and "address2" values as a record in Database B / Table B -- update therecord in Database B / Table B with the zip code from the matchingrecord in Database A / Table A.Would anyone care to write a sample query for me that I could rundirectly on the SQL server, or at least give me some pointers?The specific field names are as follows:name,address1,address2,city,state,zipThanks in advance!- yvan

Edit: Newer mind. I tested this query more after writing this, and now it seems to work!I hope it continues to work. In following query, else is never executed.CREATE PROCEDURE Put_into_basket( @Product_code varchar(20))ASBEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON;IF NOT EXISTS(SELECT * FROM dbo.t_shopping_basket WHERE Product_code=@Product_code) BEGIN INSERT dbo.t_shopping_basket (Product_code, Name,Price) SELECT Product_code, Name,Price FROM dbo.t_product WHERE Product_code= @Product_code ENDELSE --this part is never executed BEGIN UPDATE dbo.t_shopping_basket SET Quantity=Quantity+1 WHERE Product_code=@Product_code ENDENDGO The query should test if there is a record or row with Product_code=@Product_code. If there is not, that is the first part, one such row is inserted. Quantity has a default value of 1. Insertion works, one row is inserted. At least sort of. If there is already record, That's later part, Quantity is increased by 1. That too works, if ran separately.But when I test query, it never runs the quantity+1 part.

Hi thanks for looking at my question
Using sqlServer management studio 2005
My Tables are something like this:
--Table 1 "Employee"
CREATE TABLE [MyCompany].[Employee](
[EmployeeGID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[BranchFID] [int] NOT NULL,
[FirstName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[MiddleName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[LastName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Employee] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[EmployeeGID]
)
GO
ALTER TABLE [MyCompany].[Employee]
WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Employee_BranchFID]
FOREIGN KEY([BranchFID])
REFERENCES [myCompany].[Branch] ([BranchGID])
GO
ALTER TABLE [MyCompany].[Employee] CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_Employee_BranchFID]
-- Table 2 "Branch"
CREATE TABLE [Mycompany].[Branch](
[BranchGID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[BranchName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[City] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[ManagerFID] [int] NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Branch] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[BranchGID]
)
GO
ALTER TABLE [MyCompany].[Branch]
WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Branch_ManagerFID]
FOREIGN KEY([ManagerFID])
REFERENCES [MyCompany].[Employee] ([EmployeeGID])
GO
ALTER TABLE [MyCompany].[Branch]
CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_Branch_ManagerFID]
--Foreign IDs = FID
--generated IDs = GID
Then I try a simple single row DELETE
DELETE FROM MyCompany.Employee
WHERE EmployeeGID= 39
Well this might look like a very basic error:
I get this Error after trying to delete something from Table €œEmployee€?
The DELETE statement conflicted with the
REFERENCE constraint "FK_Branch_ManagerFID".
The conflict occurred in database "MyDatabase",
table "myCompany.Branch", column 'ManagerFID'.
Yes what I€™ve been doing is to deactivate the foreign key constraint, in both tables when performing these kinds of operations, same thing if I try to delete a €œBranch€? entry, basically each entry in €œbranch€? and €œEmployee€? is child of each other which makes things more complicated.
My question is, is there a simple way to overcome this obstacle without having to deactivate the foreign key constraints every time or a good way to prevent this from happening in the first place? Is this when I have to use €œON DELETE CASCADE€? or something?
Thanks

Hi
I have a table with a user column and other columns. User column id the primary key.
I want to create a copy of the record where the user="user1" and insert that copy in the same table in a new created record. But I want the new record to have a value of "user2" in the user column instead of "user1" since it's a primary key
Thanks.

Hi,
We're running a Sage CRM install with a SQL Server 2000 database at the back end. We're using the Sage web services API for updating data and a JDBC connection to retrieve data as it's so much quicker.
If I retrieve a record using the JDBC connection and then try and update the same record through the web services, the query times out as if the record is locked for updates. Has anyone experienced anything similar or know what I'm doing wrong? If I just use DriverManager.getConnection() to establish the connection instead of the datasource, and then continue with the same code I don't get these record locking problems. Please find more details below.
Thanks,
Sarah
The JDBC provider for the datasource is a WebSphere embedded ConnectJDBC for SQL Server DataSource, using an implementation type of 'connection pool datasource'. We are using a container managed J2C authentication alias for logging on.
This is running on a Websphere Application Server v6.1.
Code snippet - getting the record thru JDBC:
DataSource wsDataSource = serviceLocator.getDataSource("jdbc/dsSQLServer");
Connection wsCon = wsDataSource.getConnection();
// wsCon.setAutoCommit(false); //have tried with and without this flag - same results
Statements stmt = wsCon.createStatement();
String sql = "SELECT * FROM Person where personID = 12345";
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
if(rs.next()){
System.out.println(rs.getString("lastName"));
}
if (rs != null){
rs.close();
}
if (stmt != null) {
stmt.close();
}
if (wsCon != null) {
wsCon.close();
}

I am attempting to create a multi-record file (as described in my last thread) and have found the following set of instructions very helpful:
http://vsteamsystemcentral.com/cs21/blogs/steve_fibich/archive/2007/09/25/multi-record-formated-flat-file-with-ssis.aspx
I have been able to create a sample file with two of my record types.
I now need to build on this further, because I have 9 record types in total that need to be extracted to a single flat file.
does anyone have any ideas how I might extend the example above to include more record types or know of another means of achieving this?
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.

Hi All,I have a table in SQL Server 2000 that contains several million memberids. Some of these member ids are duplicated in the table, and eachrecord is tagged with a 1 or a 2 in [recsrc] to indicate where theycame from.I want to remove all member ids records from the table that have arecsrc of 1 where the same member id also exists in the table with arecsrc of 2.So, if the member id has a recsrc of 1, and no other record exists inthe table with the same member id and a recsrc of 2, I want it leftuntouched.So, in a theortetical dataset of member id and recsrc:0001, 10002, 20001, 20003, 10004, 2I am looking to only delete the first record, because it has a recsrcof 1 and there is another record in the table with the same member idand a recsrc of 2.I'd very much appreciate it if someone could help me achieve this!Much warmth,Murray

I would like to link the two tables and receive all records from table2 joined on ID and the record from table1 that has the most recent date.
Example:
Table1 data Table2 Data

Hello. I have a database with a record that has two columns locked. descrip1 and descrip2. they are both nvarchar(max) columns. These are the only two columns of the record that remain locked. I am certain no user is accessing the record. I have even moved a backup of the database to my testing computer and the lock still exists. How do I remove the lock from these two columns on that particular record.
I can edit these two columns on other records. I have researched "Unlock" on MSDN but it doesn't seem to apply to t-sql. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. Gary.

I have not yet succeeded in getting an aswer to this in a previous post, so I'll try again and rephrase the question
I have 2 fields, 1 called 'Created' the other 'Updated'
I would like to create a function, user procedure ,whatever in SQL something along the lines of...
FUNCTION myUID()
RETURN Date(Today)+Time(Now)+USERNAME
END FUNCTION
so that the value returned by the above pseudo code is something like '20080526T21:01:05.620SamL' where the date part is in yyyy0m0d format
I have got this working fine for the default 'Created' field but the calculated (and persisted) field comes up with something about being non-deterministic and refuses to play
Clearly something along these lines is a very straightforward requirement (I have it working fine in my 20+ year old database) , but have spent a week trying to get an answer (even from this forum) without success, so would be grateful for any help that you can provide me with to get round this barrier

Hi,
How can we insert multiple records in a OLEDB destination table for each entry from the source table.
To be more clear, for every record from source we need to insert some 'n' number of records into the destination table. this 'n' changes depending on the record.
how is this achieved.
thanks.

Consider this scenario.
I have two database in the sql server and consider that i have a query which has 4 tables inner joined.
When i execute the query in the database1 , the query is returning rows, But when i execute the same query in the database2, the query is not retuning rows . I know that the
no rows are returned because of missing data in the database2. But have no idea how to trace what values are missing in the database2. Please note the tables is having a huge
list of records by which manually comparison is painfull. Please consider i dont have any background idea of the values in the tables but just using it. Any help would be
