What's The Best Way To Dupe Certain Parts Of My RS?
May 29, 2002
Hi!
Mgmt just decided that the designer (me) was more valuable than the developer (now me). I hope there are some gurus out there who can help.
What would be the best way to duplicate certain parts of my RS? Suppose
I have a table with three columns: ID, adName, and priority. When I serve the ads, I am randomizing them, but would like to serve some more frequently than others. I am hoping there is a single query I can use, that will seed the RS with multiple instances of high-priority records.
I have a bit of brainteaser that's going to take some serious thought.
I'm importing information from .xls files into a SQL table. The problem is I need to check for dupes and increment certain fields on success of dupe find and then not insert or delete the dupes.
For example, if I have Adam, Turner, 32, 50 already in the table and someone tries to insert Adam, Turner, 32, 50...I need it to increment to read Adam, Turner, 64, 100 and not insert the record. (Notice 2 fields were incremented.)
With that, I have created an INSERT trigger as follows:
set ANSI_NULLS ON set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO ALTER Trigger [dbo].[trgInsertCheck] ON [dbo].[MyTable] FOR INSERT AS BEGIN EXEC sp_UpdateDupes EXEC sp_DeleteDupes END
The first stored procedure checks for dupes and updates if any dupes are found as follows: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
set ANSI_NULLS ON set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO ALTER Procedure [dbo].[sp_UpdateDupes] AS
DECLARE @FirstName varchar(20), @LastName varchar(20), @Age int, @Widgets int DECLARE c1 CURSOR FOR
SELECT FirstName, LastName, Age, Widgets FROM MyTable GROUP BY FirstName, LastName, Age, Widgets HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
OPEN c1 FETCH NEXT FROM c1 INTO @FirstName, @LastName, @Age, @Widgets WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN
UPDATE MyTable set Widgets = Widgets + @Widgets, Age = Age + @Age WHERE FirstName = @FirstName AND LastName = @LastName
FETCH NEXT FROM c1 INTO @FirstName, @LastName, @Age, @Widgets END CLOSE c1 DEALLOCATE c1
Lastly, it finds all dupes, deletes them and inserts one row back in as follows: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
set ANSI_NULLS ON set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO ALTER Procedure [dbo].[sp_DeleteDupes] AS
DECLARE @FirstName varchar(20), @LastName varchar(20), @Age int, @Widgets int --declare all fields in table
DECLARE c1 CURSOR FOR
SELECT FirstName, LastName, Age, Widgets FROM MyTable GROUP BY FirstName, LastName, Age, Widgets HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
OPEN c1 FETCH NEXT FROM c1 INTO @FirstName, @LastName, @Age, @Widgets WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN --Delete all dupes...the cursor remembers the current record
DELETE FROM MyTable WHERE FirstName IN (SELECT FirstName FROM MyTable GROUP BY FirstName HAVING COUNT(FirstName) > 1) AND LastName IN (SELECT LastName FROM MyTable GROUP BY LastName HAVING COUNT(LastName) > 1) AND Age IN (SELECT Age FROM MyTable GROUP BY Age HAVING COUNT(Age) > 1) AND Widgets IN (SELECT Widgets FROM MyTable GROUP BY Widgets HAVING COUNT(Widgets) > 1)
--insert the current record back into the table
INSERT INTO MyTable(FirstName, LastName, Age, Widgets) VALUES(@FirstName, @LastName, @Age, @Widgets)
FETCH NEXT FROM c1 INTO @FirstName, @LastName, @Age, @Widgets END CLOSE c1 DEALLOCATE c1
Is there an easier way to do this?
(I know Age doesn't make much sense in this example but just replace it with a field would logically be incremented such as wadgets.)
I had Excel file input & import to DB Table by using Data flow in SSIS.but it had duplicates so I dont use the Dupe Records
So I planned like below:
Method 1: Here OLEDB Destination are Good Records(Without Duplicates) OLEDB Destination are Not Good Records(only Duplicates) or Method :2 If I add a column(GOOD_RECORD) in DB Table and Should I update '1' for top 1 record (for Good Record) and remaining as '0' for other Records (for Dups)latter I utilize Through flag of GOOD_RECORD
i.e.,, select * from DB_TABLE where GOOD_RECORD='1' .
I think that Method :2 Advisable for Performance/flexible but Here How can I update by using SSIS(Data flow) ????
i am using web parts with drag and drop feature , i did not use aspnetdb for user membership while it is published it gives eror as follows An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. SQLExpress database file auto-creation error: The connection string specifies a local Sql Server Express instance using a database location within the applications App_Data directory. The provider attempted to automatically create the application services database because the provider determined that the database does not exist. The following configuration requirements are necessary to successfully check for existence of the application services database and automatically create the application services database:
If the applications App_Data directory does not already exist, the web server account must have read and write access to the applications directory. This is necessary because the web server account will automatically create the App_Data directory if it does not already exist. If the applications App_Data directory already exists, the web server account only requires read and write access to the applications App_Data directory. This is necessary because the web server account will attempt to verify that the Sql Server Express database already exists within the applications App_Data directory. Revoking read access on the App_Data directory from the web server account will prevent the provider from correctly determining if the Sql Server Express database already exists. This will cause an error when the provider attempts to create a duplicate of an already existing database. Write access is required because the web server accounts credentials are used when creating the new database. Sql Server Express must be installed on the machine. The process identity for the web server account must have a local user profile. See the readme document for details on how to create a local user profile for both machine and domain accounts. Please give me ur valuable advice , thanks in advance
I am still using SQLv 6.5 and have a need to do monthly reports. It is my understanding that there is no inherent capability in SQL v6.5 for functions such as MONTH getdate() as exist in SQL 2000. Does anyone know of a script that will simulate this so I can extract information from a database such as date_last_update IN MONTH 02?
I'm very familiar with Oracle at a conceptual level and need tounderstand MSSQL as well. Can anyone point me to a document/web pagethat describes the different files used in MSSQL and a discussion of howthey relate? (ex. with Oracle, there is tempdb, redo, archive, db files,rollback, etc.)
I have 5 records in a table called "testing" as such:
LetterCdcontact_id x1 x2 x3 x4 x5
How can I split this dataset so that three records have LetterCd = 'y' and the other 2 records have LetterCd = 'x'? The number of records can vary, but the idea is the same: split the values in the LetterCd column evenly (50% = 'x', 50% = 'y'). LetterCd is varchar(25) and contact_id is int. I can't update the data, it would have to be a SELECT statement with some sort of CASE statement to get the remainder of the record count?
The issue is that I need to delete parts of this string using SQL Server.This string is a title of a document which should contain only the Document Category & Title. Instead, it is displaying extra parts such as Year, Date Created, etc. I would like to truncate/parse off the title. The database is Acme_system. The name of the table is dbo.documents, the column name for the title is "title" and there is also column is "childcat".
The title string reads:
2013-730-DAILY NOTES AND TRACKING FORM-11-16-13 700-030714
I want to take off everything except for "DAILY NOTES AND TRACKING FORM-11-16-13 700"
I was wondering if this is possible I have to be able to just select the number before the '-' in acolumn which is formatted like 123-456 so I just need the the 123 part.

I'm having troubles connecting the webparts on SharePoint 2007. I installed the RSWebParts package from SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services on my MOSS 2007 box. The installation went smoothly and I can add both Report Explorer and Report Viewer on a page. But when I try to connect RE to RV I get the following error:
An unexpected error has occurred.
Web Parts Maintenance Page: If you have permission, you can use this page to temporarily close Web Parts or remove personal settings. For more information, contact your site administrator.
So I have to go to the maintenance page and remove the web parts.
Have anyone managed to bypass this and make them work together?
I prepared a report including sale information of a company. There are different offices of the company in different locations. And in each offices there are more than 1 saleman. I have to send the report (but just the associated part of the report to the saleman, not the whole one) to each saleman and his/her manager. I prepared a subscriber data (name and mail addy) for each office. How can i send the associated part of the report to the salemen and his/her manager by using just the original report (I dont wanna seperate the report depending on the saleman and send each report one by one, cuz there are many offices and salemen)

Here it mentions the following Deployment Considerations When using Windows authentication to connect to SQL Server in production environments, consider the following:
Use a custom service account. Create a SQL Server login for a Windows group. Assign database permissions to a database role. Use a Custom Service Account
This is my problem we are trying to convert all our web pages to use Windows Authenication. DOMAINWEBGROUP (for example).
Tracey and Jack part of this group But sometimes there may be anothers added to this say John
The security comes from SQL right now i give data reader to the database.
Example 1. ASP.NET uses the service account DOMAINWEBGROUP 2. Assign WEBGROUP to database PERSONEL Table Employees Salary Web Page Lets say Tracey logs into the web page.....and i have two pages 1. Employess 2. Salary
As the WEBGROUP is data reader viola Tracey sees all salary information. Im trying to figure out that only Tracey can see Employees
But im not seeing the relationship when using WEBGROUP
Is there a way in SQL to say yes we have the DOMAINWEBGROUP but in sql also put in Tracey and know that Tracey is part of DOMAINWEBGROUP So that in my tables i can only give tracey part of this employee table (say the first name last name) and not salary information. (I know how to use the roles).
The part im confused about is the mapping WEBGROUP to tracey in sql as the web developers only pass in WEBGROUP
I want to add some information to a report that I do NOT want to be included in the printed output. Is there any way to designate a rectangle or list or table to NOT print?
I'm having problems with handling a very large amount of user records - about 100.000 - 150.000 records. Instead of selecting all of them at a time, how do I f.ex. select 1000 of them? (f.ex. get nr. 1 - nr 1000, then get nr. 1001 - nr. 2000) ???
I have a field that contains text strings that always follow this syntax "ABC:DE:comment follow". I want to return a new field with only whatever is between the two : (in this case DE but it could be more). It would be perfect if all the field follow that syntax, however, I have variations where users put spaces either before or after the :. Can the spaces be ignored?
I've tried variations on a SELECT statement like below but have been unable to find a way to count only those types per fileNo that have all partNo completed (and to count all types per fileNo with a partNo of 0 and a completed date as they have no parts):
SELECT [FileNo], COUNT(DISTINCT [Type]) AS CountOfAPs FROM APs WHERE (completed IS NOT NULL) GROUP BY [File]
Hi all, New to replication I need suggestions on how go about keeping 2 sql servers from different parts of the world to be in sync all times, some latency may be accepted.
Here is the senario, we have website hosted in NA and customers from all parts of the world log in to oursystem and does what ever they have to do which will update the sql server databases. as our company is expanding we want to have a same website hosted in eu, so when ever a person logs from eu he will be hitting the webservers in eu and anything he do will go to the SQL database servers that are in eu. Now the problem i have is when one site goes down say NA site goes down, we need to route all the traffic to site in EU that means sql servers in EU. This brings the challenge of both the servers need to be in sync all times.
I did some research on merge replication, this might not work because in this concept we have to make 1 server as the master and the others as slaves. Also i need to think in a way that if they want to expand more that means to asia, i will be having another server, these all need to be in Sync.
We are using SQL Server 2005 standard edition. I was reading that this can be achived easily with peer-to-peer replication,but is only available in Enterprise edition which is 4times the cost of standard edition.My company is not going to agree for this, so got to do the research and propose a solution
i'm struggling to write an sql select statement that will return records on this criteria: any time a certain word (not part of a word) in a certain cell, i.e. if i'm looking for 'and' i dont want to get 'the sand was hot' but i do want to get 'cats and dogs'. i cant presume that there will always be a space on iether side of the word because of punctuation marks and times when the word is at the begining of the cell 'and then we...'
I have log files that I am loading into a table with duration data in the format "xx hrs xx min xx sec". Only the parts that are required will be there so if duration is only 2 seconds , the column will show "2 sec".
I am trying to get the duration into in to do some analysis on it and I have come up with this query so far which returns the correct data but i am wondering if there is a way to do what I am trying in a more readable format.
CREATE TABLE #tmp(duration VARCHAR(20))
INSERT INTO #tmp VALUES ('1 hrs 20 min 12 sec'), --4812 sec ('48 sec'), --48 sec ('39 min 1 sec'), --2341 sec ('11 hrs 1 min 1 sec'), --39661 sec ('59 min 0 sec'), --3540 sec ('2 min 50 sec') --170 sec
I have a table where one of the fields contains XML as in the following. Is there an SQL update statement that can change any occurrences of timezoneIdfrom 0 to 1, and timezone from America/New_York to America/Chicago and time to time - 1 hour?
I have a field that will look something like this. I need to read a file and when the first 3 positions are REM, the number following is the Order number, and the initials, are the rep. this is how they are tracking for the rep, if they sent reminders to customers and when.
REM 0482348 LV 04/13
I would like to do this in SQL and also join to the order header file that will give me the invoice total for that order. what is the best approach here via SQL for these first 2 fields' needed?
I am trying to figure out the best way to build a table that will hold information about our inventory of parts. We have several issues that I have been struggeling with trying to make this work. First capturing the basic part information is a no brainer, where I am having some questions is with how to assign categories, subcategories for each of these parts. The challenge comes because each part can belong to multiple categories and subcategories. For example we have 5 main items that would have categories, subcategories, parts. For example:
Item: Trailer Model: model1, model2, model3 Category: Chassis Subcategory: Upper frame, lower frame, electrical Part: could be any thing that falls under one of the subcategories
Item: Trailer Model: model1, model2, model3 Category: Gen set Subcategory: engine, power, electrical Part: could be any thing that falls under one of the subcategories
repeat...
My main items are trailer, shelter, power, heat, lights. Under the trailer and shelter items parts can belong all models or just a couple or just one model. My thought was to create a table for each item, ie: TrailerModels, ShelterModels which would have 100 plus columns, 1 column for each model, using a bit datatype to show which parts could belong to which model. This however seems to be quite a bit of work, because in order to use the models to thin down lists when searching for an item it would have query this table as well as the category and subcategory tables.
Anyone have some feedback about how I should approach this? I don't know if I was able to communicate the specifics of this very well but I can clear up details if anyone wants to throw some feedback my way.
Hi,I have a date/time field in a SQL2000 database, and what I would liketo do is to filter on a specific part of the field, for example thetime or hour.Supposing I have a set of data for the last 5 years and would like tofilter out any records which are outside working hours i.e. I wouldlike to show records where the time is between 9am and 5pm.Does anyone know if there is a simple way to do this in SQL? If yousimply don't specify the date part in the where clause (e.g. WHEREissuedatetime between '09:00:00' and '17:00:00') it defaults it to1900-01-01 so basically no data is returned.The only way I can see to do this is by using the DATEPART function,converting it to a varchar, appending 1900-01-01 on to it andconverting it to a datetime, and then using the where clause as statedabove. This is quite a long-winded way, however. Any other suggestions?Thanks,Matt
We have an application where we want to check to see if the vehicle part on a job matches to our internal parts inventory (PartsInventory table) before we order it. The problem is that sometimes the part number matches exactly and sometimes the part number has '-' or space but if those are removed, will match to our internal part number. Below is what I have so far but it only matches exact part numbers. One example would be if our part number was 1013738-00-C but the job (in RepairOrderLines) had a part number of 101373800C we should consider it a match. Both PartNumbers are varchar(30).
SELECT dbo.PartsInventory.PartNumber, dbo.PartsInventory.PartDescription, dbo.PartsInventory.VehicleMake FROM dbo.PartsInventory INNER JOIN dbo.RepairOrderLines ON dbo.PartsInventory.PartNumber = dbo.RepairOrderLines.PartNumber INNER JOIN dbo.RepairOrder ON dbo.RepairOrderLines.RecordID = dbo.RepairOrder.RecordID INNER JOIN dbo.Vehicles ON dbo.RepairOrder.VehicleID = dbo.Vehicles.VehicleID AND dbo.PartsInventory.VehicleMake = dbo.Vehicles.VehicleMake WHERE (dbo.RepairOrderLines.RecordID = 46001)
Sql is not a strong point with me so I'm just going to throw this out there. I have a stored procedure that updates the quantity in my 'CartItems' table. Is there a way to have something else happen within the stored procedure that will update another field based on other parts of the record? There is a 'lineTotal' field that I need to equal the 'pounds * itemSell' fields which are both fields within this record. CREATE PROCEDURE UpdateCartItem(@cartItemID Int,@newQuantity numeric(9))ASUPDATE CartItems Set quantity = @newQuantityWHERE cartItemID = @cartItemIDGO
hi, I'm creating local cube with Delphi. On my server with MSSQL it work well, but i need to know, which parts of MSSQL is needful to create this local cube (on the server) if i will creat and instal new server with MS SQL.
I've created a measure counting instances of unique identifiers utilizing the following formula. However, the Grand Total does not equal the sum of the sub-totals.
