Hi.
I need some help. Does anyone know how to create a select statetement that will generate a list of records that have been timestamped (datetime) on the week of the system date (getdate())? Assuming that Monday is the start of the week and Sunday is the lastday of the week.
Thanks in advance
I have a query that will generate records monthly based on the number of months that i calculate between two date feilds for a given requestid. How can i use the same query to generate records for weekly and bi weekly based on the receiveddate field that i use in the subtraction for calculating the number of months.
Also when inserting i have been adding a month for every record as i was generating monthly and now i would have to add week and 2 weeks to the receiveddate
SET NOCOUNT ON
GO
declare @num_of_times int
declare @count int
declare @frequency varchar(10)
declare @num_of_times1 int
[Code] ....
Hi
I am very new to analysis services and using MDX.
I want to select data from a cube using an MDX statement and show the data on a graph report.
I want to select the daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly descriptions all in one column to make it easy to represent it on the report.
Then set the 'Date' Column to the x-axis and the Value column to the y-axis.
The user also must have the option to not show certain periods (Switch of daily and weekly)
My MDX works when I select from the SQL Management Studio but as soon as I copy the MDX over to the SSRS Report Designer is splits the daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly values into seperate columns which makes it very difficult to report on.
----
Code
SELECT NON EMPTY { ([Measures].[ValueAfterLogic])} ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY { [KPI Values].[KPI Name].[KPI Name].ALLMEMBERS * ORDER(
CASE 1 WHEN 1 Then [Time].[Hierarchy].[Day Of Month] ELSE NULL END +
CASE 1 WHEN 1 Then [Time].[Hierarchy].[Week Of Year Name] ELSE NULL END +
CASE 1 WHEN 1 Then [Time].[Hierarchy].[Month] ELSE NULL END +
CASE 1 WHEN 1 Then [Time].[Hierarchy].[Quarter Of Year Name] ELSE NULL END +
CASE 1 WHEN 1 Then [Time].[Hierarchy].[YEAR] ELSE NULL END,
[Measures].[ValueAfterLogic],DESC)
}
DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM
(SELECT ( {[KPI Values].[KPI Id].&[{97754C54-AB43-403D-A2C2-21C04BDE93E3}] } ) ON COLUMNS
FROM [Workplace])
WHERE ( [KPI Values].[KPI Id].&[{97754C54-AB43-403D-A2C2-21C04BDE93E3}])
CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS
The case statement will take paramter values when finished
----------------end of code portion
Is this possible or is it suppose to 'split' the columns when moving to SSRS.
Thans in advance

Hello... im having a problem with my query optimization....
I have a query that looks like this:
SELECT * FROM table1
WHERE location_id IN (SELECT location_id from location_table WHERE account_id = 998)
it produces my desired data but it takes 3 minutes to run the query... is there any way to make this faster?... thank you so much...
I am currently having this problem with gridview and detailview. When I drag either onto the page and set my select statement to pick from one table and then update that data through the gridview (lets say), the update works perfectly. My problem is that the table I am pulling data from is mainly foreign keys. So in order to hide the number values of the foreign keys, I select the string value columns from the tables that contain the primary keys. I then use INNER JOIN in my SELECT so that I only get the data that pertains to the user I am looking to list and edit. I run the "test query" and everything I need shows up as I want it. I then go back to the gridview and change the fields which are foreign keys to templates. When I edit the templates I bind the field that contains the string value of the given foreign key to the template. This works great, because now the user will see string representation instead of the ID numbers that coinside with the string value. So I run my webpage and everything show up as I want it to, all the data is correct and I get no errors. I then click edit (as I have checked the "enable editing" box) and the gridview changes to edit mode. I make my changes and then select "update." When the page refreshes, and the gridview returns, the data is not updated and the original data is shown. I am sorry for so much typing, but I want to be as clear as possible with what I am doing. The only thing I can see being the issue is that when I setup my SELECT and FROM to contain fields from multiple tables, the UPDATE then does not work. When I remove all of my JOIN's and go back to foreign keys and one table the update works again. Below is what I have for my SQL statements:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SELECT:SELECT People.FirstName, People.LastName, People.FullName, People.PropertyID, People.InviteTypeID, People.RSVP, People.Wheelchair, Property.[House/Day Hab], InviteType.InviteTypeName FROM (InviteType INNER JOIN (Property INNER JOIN People ON Property.PropertyID = People.PropertyID) ON InviteType.InviteTypeID = People.InviteTypeID) WHERE (People.PersonID = ?)UPDATE:UPDATE [People] SET [FirstName] = ?, [LastName] = ?, [FullName] = ?, [PropertyID] = ?, [InviteTypeID] = ?, [RSVP] = ?, [Wheelchair] = ? WHERE [PersonID] = ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The only fields I want to update are in [People]. My WHERE is based on a control that I use to select a person from a drop down list. If I run the test query for the update while setting up my data source the query will update the record in the database. It is when I try to make the update from the gridview that the data is not changed. If anything is not clear please let me know and I will clarify as much as I can. This is my first project using ASP and working with databases so I am completely learning as I go. I took some database courses in college but I have never interacted with them with a web based front end. Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for any time, help, and/or advice you can give.Brian

Now I want to be able to create an "update" statement like "UPATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race" dynamically and execute this UPDATE statement.

I am using three tables in this query, one is events_detail, one is events_summary, the third if gifts. The original select statement counted the number of ids (event_details.id_number) that appear per event_name (event_summary.event_name).
Now, I would like to add in another column that counts the number of IDs that gave a gift who attended an event that were also listed in the event_ details table. So far I have come up with the following. My main issue is linking the subquery properly back to the main query. how to count in the sub-query and have the result placed within the groups results in the main query.
SELECT es.event_name, es.event_id, COUNT(ed.id_number) Number_Attendees,
(
SELECT COUNT(gifts.donor_id) AS Count2
FROM gifts
WHERE gifts.donor_id = ed.id_number
) subquery2

I need to write a select statement that take the upper table and select the lower table.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe do a 4:00AM weekly reboot of every SQL 7.0 server on NT4 scheduled as a SQL Agent job using the os command "shutdown servername /l /c /y /r". The problem is some of the SQL servers recognize the NT shutdown command and gracefully exit out of SQL first with the SQL log entry "SQL Server terminating because of system shutdown", then closes all databases files. Most of the other SQL server do not list any SQL log messages and sometimes list startup error messages indicating a dirty shutdown.
Does anyone else reboot their SQL servers with a scheduled job? If so, how do you perform this task cleanly?

This proceeds my 'crashes', which it looks scary enough to do the trick!
Any idea what could be causing this exception?
Thanks, John
ps. someone else mentioned backup software - we use BackupExec and I
have a sched. task that dumps one of the databases to a network drive 2x
day. But these are running throughout the week...looking over the logs I
really don't see a correlation...(ie. these same processes run on days
that no crash occurs and successfully later in the day that the crashes
do occur (some hours earlier).

Did you check the SQL Server errorlog (sometimes things are written here
that don't go to the event viewer) and the NT event viewer (application
and
system)?
You could try turning on SQL Trace to see if you can capture a "bad"
query
but depending on how SQL goes down it may not be captured.
If you are auditing successful logons you could take a look to see if
there
is any pattern in who logs in just before SQL restarts.
Any chance someone is actually stopping it on purpose? Or maybe a
program
that is stopping it (maybe a backup system trying to backup the device
files
instead of the dumps)?

i want count on weekly basis
Could any one help me?
What daily/weekly checks do you guys currently perform on your servers and databases?
I recently ran across with an article from SQLServerCentral that listed a couple of daily checks that I'm thinking about implementing on my environment, and some of them are:
DB Missing Recent Backup - Report
DB Missing Recent Log Backup - Report
Drives Low on Disk Space - Report
Error Log Messages Report - Report
Instance Recently Restarted - Report
Job Failures - Report
Large Databases Log File - Report
I already have in place:
Verify is SQL Agent Service is running
Check Disk Space Available
Since I'm going to spend some time on this, I was wondering if there's anything else that you guys have in place or any other 'nice to have' that you guys also might have, so I don't leave anything behind...
Thanks!

Hi,
Need to write a query which would select data based on weekly wise based on the column Date.And week starts from Monday.
Hence would reqiure a function or a query which would select only those records which would fall under respective Weeks.
Help!!!
Regards,
Navneet
I have a table with columns: Date (SmallDateTime), Sales (Decimal)
Is there a SELECT way to compute weekly totals, similar to the GROUP BY clause?
Or is using a WHILE loop a practical way?
Thank you.
I'm not sure this is the place for this question, but not sure where else to go. I've written asp.net code to read from a sql server 2005 db and send out customized emails based on user info.Currently the process gets rolling by clicking a button in a web page.The client doesn't want to click a button, they want to run the email sender on a timer.How can I set up my function to run on a timer either in asp.net or more likely called from sql server?

Dear Forum Community,
I am new to this forum (actually to forums in general). I apologize for the long post, but I feel that someone must have done all this before and perhaps there are better approaches, so I felt I had to explain my objectives.
I have written a Daily(date) report for all the pertinent data in our production database. We want this data to persist for two years and be easily accessible. We also want other reports to use this data as a datasource rather than the production data because the production database is periodically purged of old data that may be of interest to these reports. So I am using SSRS not only as a reporting tool but also a sort of historical database.
To persist the daily report I added a Yesterday report that includes the Daily(date) as a subreport. The Yesterday report uses yesterday's date and has no paramters so it can be set up to run as a snapshot and be stored in the history. Daily(date) is set to use the cache which expires after 7 reports. So far so good.
I have now created a Weekly(weeknumber) report that includes 7 Daily(date) subreports and a LastWeek report that is schedule to run weekly as a snapshot and is stored in the history. I am hoping that because the Daily(date) reports have already been run by the Yesterday report, their datasets will still be in the cache and this will not cause a refresh from the production database. Am I right?
Basically, I want to keep access to the production database to a minimum, not store (much) duplicate data in the Report Server database and yet still have quick and easy access to the data going back 2 years even though it has long since been purged from the production database.
I considered to use the 7 daily reports as a datasources for the weekly report so that I could aggregate the data each week and expire the daily reports (and again for months, quarters and years). However, I was unable to figure out how to use a report as a datasource.
My questions come down to these...
Will the approach I am pursuing work?
Is it the best approach?
If a report includes subreports that have already been run individually with the same parameters, will the cached subreport be used.
How do you use an existing reports as datacsources for an aggregated report?
I look forward to hearing your suggestions.

Hello all,
I hope someone can help me with a big problem... I'm using Citrix Resource Management Services with a SQL 2000 database. Their are 15 citrix servers which are all reporting to the SQL database.
The database is expanding very quickly and is becoming slower and slower.
My question is: I want to schedule a purge of old records on a friday afternoon, like this:
WEEK 1 - MON / FRI
WEEK 2 - MON / FRI (Friday's purge records week1)
WEEK 3 - MON / FRI (Friday's purge records week2)
etc...
Is this possible? if yes how do i do this !??!
Thank you very much for any info!!
