What Is The Optimal Solution To Find, If All The Data Is Entered On A Predefined Condition?
Dec 10, 2006
Hi,
I want to know the optimal solution, to find if all the data was entered. Lets say, Table A (date field) and for a given month, i need that all the days in the given month are present in the Table A. Right now i have different solutions, 1) a stored procedure which loops through all the days in the given month against a select statement on Table A
2) a stored procedure, create a temp table which contains all the dates in the given month, and a single select statement using where condition (select * from.... where datefield not in (select * from...))
I want to know what is the best solution of these two or any other solution.
Thanks

Hi
I'm trying to find the optimal way of getting the timestamp of the last updated entry in an mssql database. A database is updated only about 5 times a minute, how ever a request for the time of the last entry could be around 1 per second. For this reason i was thinking of having a separate table which has a single row which is updated everytime a new entry is updated in the main table. I would then only need a simple SELECT statement and need very little processing power.
Is this the best method, or can you think of any others i could use?
many thanks

Hi,
I've created my own custom data flow transformation task (using C#) that
will parse a fullname and output the various name parts. In the
ProvideComponentProperties method, I create 5 output columns (prefix, first, middle,
last, and suffix). In the ProcessInput method, I parse the input and add the
name parts to the buffer. The bad thing is that I€™m making an assumption on
the position of the Full Name input column within the buffer.
I would like the €œuser€? to be able to map their "full name" input column to a known Full Name column so I don€™t have to make any assumptions. This is the first
SSIS task I€™ve tried to create and I haven€™t been able to find very many
examples online.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Marshall

Hi all, I'm being driven to distraction by my inability to find a workable solution here, i'll try and lay out my problem as simple as possible:
My application analyses sentence structure, it stores hundreds of thousands of web pages, and stores all the words on those pages sequentially in a database with a primary id, the id of the page the word is from, and the word itself of course.
ie : id , parent_id , word
What i'm trying to do (which already works successfully in both SQL and MySQL) is to retrieve the word immediately before the one I specify and 3 words after the word I specify. Ideally in one union query but i'll accept it if that's too complex and go for two for now.
Because of the sheer size of the database ( millions of keywords ) I can't afford to retrieve every single record and feed off the top results in the application itself.
I've attempted to use subqueries:
SELECT yek FROM child_barrels A WHERE 3 > (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM child_barrels B WHERE A.yek < B.yek) AND id>'" + id + "' AND parent_id='" + parent_id[x] + "' ORDER BY id ASC
SELECT yek FROM child_barrels A WHERE 1 < (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM child_barrels B WHERE A.yek < B.yek) AND id>'" + id + "' AND parent_id='" + parent_id[x] + "' ORDER BY id ASC
These raise an error on the first select statement in the sub query.
(SELECT yek FROM child_barrels WHERE id>'" + id + "' AND parent_id='" + parent_id[x] + "' ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT 3) UNION (SELECT yek FROM child_barrels WHERE id<'" + id + "' AND parent_id='" + parent_id[x] + "' ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1)
Above directly is the original MySQL code.
I would appreciate any help available on this, thanks in advance.

I have searched the archives and haven't found a solution that works.
I started out with a package based on the Excel import wizard and have modified it to include a for each loop for processing more than one Excel source file and also modified it to do some dynamic SQL like dropping and creating the tables with names that are variable based. The package is cabable of processing more than one file, and each file has the same data elements or columns in it, but each file has to go in it's own table. The drop and preperation tasks use string variable SQL that does dynamically create the SQL and runs great. The data flow task and it's OLE destination task (which the wizard did intially create) does not perform as expected. There were some posts in the archives stating that for dynamic destination table names it can be done in the OLE destination but I can't get it to work. I tried using an access mode of table/view name variable and select a variable that is string expression based. But this variable isn't fully populated until run time and so when I'm trying to configure this I get a msg stating the table name object doesn't exist and I can't save the task.
Am I doing something wrong, or trying to do something that wrong way or trying to do something that isn't possible?

Hello,
I'm trying to access the MSSQl 'remotey'. I open telnet and go to 127.0.0.1 1433 but can't. It seems I have done everything I can to fix it, but nothing solves the problem.
My firewall is disabled.
I have TCP/IP enabled in "SQL Server Configuration Manager" for both Client Protocol and protocols for MSSSQLSERVER (Shared Memory and NAmed Pipes are also both enabled). VIA is disabled.
In SQL Services, SQL Server Integration Services, Full Text Searc, SQL Server, SQL Server Analysis Services, and Server Browser are running. SQL Server Agent is disabled.
In Server Surface Area configuration, under Database Engine is running (automatic) and "Remote Connections" is enabled to TCP/IP and named pipes. Analysis Service has Local and Remote connections checked and is running (automatic). SQL Server agent is stopped.
Integration Services is running (Automatic) SQL Server Browser is running. (Automatic)
When I look in the error log, it shows...

I have a table where the designer allowed time reporting for 8 different types of activity on each timecard, then stored the hours by activity in 8 separate columns in the database. Example:
Table A.
Column Headers: Employee|Date|Phase1Hours|Phase2Hours, etc...
Data: Fred Jones| 7/15/13 |3|3, etc...
The problem is there is no way based on this structure to get an employee's hours for the day in columnar form.
To get this data into columnar form I have used Select queries with Union All, for instance:
SELECT Employee, Date, Phase1
FROM Table A
UNION ALL
SELECT Employee, Date, Phase2
FROM Table A
,etc.....
Query is running slow (I am guessing it is because the same table is repeatedly being accessed).

Hi Guys,
I'm having a problem with some data in our database, basically a web app is storing data into the DB and then recalling it to display to a user. The problem I am having is that for one particular function the DB is causing the app to fail, the app code works for 95% of the data inserted into the DB by the users but it is failing on a few records.. I'v gone through the data manually checking for funny characters or spaces or anything else which is different from the other records, but everything seems to be in order. I doubt very much that this is a system app code problem as the code is working perfectly for all the other records...
Can anyone advise me on what else I can check.. really stuck on this one guys
Thanks Gurj

Hi,
I need to be able to prevent an invalid character from being entered into a sql 2000 databae on import from oracle.
In short, I need to exclude a certain character from being entered and need to be able to send an email which specifies that an attempt was made to enter this character, if the change was due to an insert or an update, the row to be affected in the target database, date and time info. Also the source of the data.
If this is not possible, is it viable to remove the character after insert and still send the email withe the required info?
Any one any ideas on the cleanest way to achieve this?
Thanks

I have 2 SQL server 2000 machines, I need to take a table from each one and combine them together based on a date time stamp. The first machine has a database that records information based on an event it is given a timestamp the value of variable is stored and a few other fields are stored in Table A. The second machine Table B has test data entered in a lab scenario. This is a manufacturing facility so the Table A data is recorded by means of a third party software. Whenever a sample is taken in the plant the event for Table A is triggered and recorded in the table. The test data may be entered on that sample in Table B several hours later the lab technician records the time that the sample was taken in Table B but it is not exact to match with the timestamp in Table A. I need to combine each of these tables into a new SQL server 2005 database on a new machine. After combining the tables which I am assuming I can based on a query that looks at the timestamp on both Tables A & B and match the rows up based on the closest timestamp. I need to continuously update these tables with the new data as it comes in. I havent worked with SQL for a couple of years and have looked at several ways to complete this task but havent had much luck. I have researched linked servers, SSIS, etc Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings!
I would like to create a database for keeping track of payroll data for employees where the supervisors (job coaches) on our workshop floor can use a Pocket PC device to record the hourly employee data on the fly. Then at the end of the day, the supervisor can place the device in a cradle of some sort and synch the newly entered data into the main database.
I'm guessing that SQL Server Compact edition would be perfect for this type of task? Is that correct? Can someone give me recommendations on how to go about setting this up? What should I use as the main database? SQL Server? Access? Any advice is appreciated!

Hello I have a project that uses a large number of MS Data access pages created in Access 2003 and runs on MS SQL2005.
When I am on lets say my client, (first page in a series) data access page and I have completed the fields in the (DAP), I am directing my users to the next step of the registration process by means of a hyperlink to another Data access page in the same web but in a linked or sometimes different table.
I need to pass data entered /created on the first page to the next page and populate the next page with some data from the first page / table. (like staying on the client name and ID when i go to the next page)
I also need the first data access page to open and display a blank or new record. Not an existing record. I will also be looking to creata a drop down box as a record selector.
Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.
I am some what new to data access pages so a walk through would be nice but anything you got is welcome. Thanks Peter€¦

When sizing products we use predefined size groups that the users can choose any or all of the sizes from. For example if i size group consisted of sizes (6,8,10) they could use all sizes (6,8,10) or just (6,8) or just (10) if required. Similarly, if a group consisted of (S,M,L,XL) they could choose to only buy (S,L). They cannot choose across groups, so would not be able to choose (6,S)
Once the required sizing is determined they then assign size mixes to the sizes to denote how much of the buy will be in that size. So for example if we had 3 sizes: (6,8,10) and they had the associated mixes (25%,25%,50%) that would mean we would buy 25% of size 6 and 50% of size 10. All size mixes must add up to 100% in total.
The users do analysis to determine what sizes they wish to buy and how much of it.
We also have a franchise portion of the business that have some predefined size mixes. They use the same base size groups as above, but the rule is that they can only use sizes that the particular product is being bought in.
So if the assigned franchise mix is S (50%), M (50%) and the main mix was S (100%) then the franchise mix would only be able to then have the S size.
We would then eliminate the sizes from the franchise mix and then to ensure that the franchise mix still adds to 100 we would then pro-rate up the franchise mix to give a new mix. To do this I divide one by the total the remaining size mixes to get a ratio and then multiple the mixes by this factor.
In the case above not be able to use the M size and would only use the S.This would be
-Total of remaining mixes, in this case only size S for simplicity
1 / 0.5 = 2
-multiple original mix by this factor
0.5 * 2 = 1
size S would now be 100% instead of 50%
The issue I'm having is that on occasion some of the totals are adding up to 100.01% because another one of the requirements is that it needs to be 4 decimal places (0.1015 would represent 10.15% in excel)
Here is a shortened version of the code with some test data:
DECLARE @SizeRange TABLE
(
SizeProfileIDINTNOT NULL,
CPCVARCHAR(3)NOT NULL,
SizeNameVARCHAR(5)NOT NULL,
SizeMixDECIMAL(14,4)NOT NULL
[Code] ...
How to get this to round to 4dp and still total 100%?

Hi,
I am trying to create a process that will take data source that has been output from a proprietary ISAM database to import into a SQL database. This particular ISAM system cannot be accessed via OleDB or ODBC. The thing is I want the process to be able to create the required tables based on data structure information that has been somehow encoded into the data source.
Currently the solution I am going with is to spit out a CSV file that has a header with table and data format information followed by rows of actual data that gets parsed by a SQL script however I am sure that Microsoft must have some kind of preferred solution to this kind of problem but I have not been able to find it. I have looked at the the tools that are available when creating a SQL Server DTS package as well as what seems to be available using the new Integration Services but nothing seems to be any better than the solution I just mentioned.
Anyone have any ideas, I am willing to bet there is a much better way of doing this.

Hi,
I have been asked to design a solution for a client of mine who basically requires the daily analysis and reconciliation of the differences between 2 extremely large text files.
The files are not in an identical format but are both in some form of delimited format (one is CSV, the other is a little more complex). For the sake of this question, let's assume that I can effectively import each file into an MS SQL table.
Each file will have in excess of 100,000 rows each day (new data for each day).
Whilst I know that MS SQL does easily have the capacity to store the data, is there a recommended way to tackle the potential problems (I imagine that performance is important... they will be running the report every day)
Or is building the solution as simple as importing the data into 2 tables, and then querying the differences and outputting as a report using Crystal?
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks

Dear all,
i need to design a database table which will store supplier's demand information. 1 supplier will probably have 10000 records and there are posibility that there are 10,000 suppliers. So, in total, the number of records will be 10000 * 10000 = XXXXA LOT XXXX which will be very large number of record to be inserted into a table. So, how can i design an table and structure to cater this scenario? Thanks.

Hi All,Further to my previous long-winded question about a situation in whichwe appear to be mysteriously losing data from our mssql2k server.We discovered an update statement, in the stored procedure we believeis at fault, after which no error check was being performed.Under certain conditions, this update is fired against the same recordin the same table as the immediately preceding update statement withinthe transaction. We are now suspecting that under some circumstances,these two updates get into a locking conflict that is eventuallyforcing the transaction to be rolled back.However, I'm still left with three questions.1) Where an update in a transaction gets locked, and an error isn'ttested immediately afterwards (ie no 'IF @@Error<>0' test is made),would the transaction proceed as normal?2) Most critically, would statements in the stored procedure thatappear after the COMMIT TRAN statement also be executed, even if anunresolved lock existed within the transaction?3) Assuming that (2) does happen, would a SELECT made on anotherconnection with a 'WITH(NOLOCK)' locking hint be able to see thechanges made in the locked transaction even if the server is set toREAD COMMITTED, and the SELECT takes place some time after the COMMITTRAN is issued? More to the point, given (2), how long would thelocked transaction survive before being rolled back after the COMMITTRAN has been issued? Is it possible that the COMMIT TRAN takes place,the transaction is flagged for potential rollback while a lockresolution is attempted, the stored procedure exists as thougheverything was fine, a subsequent SELECT (ie performed as one of thenext operations in the same application) using WITH(NOLOCK) 'sees' thechanges made by the transaction, reinforcing the impression that thetransaction succeeded, and then at some point thereafter the lock isdetermined to be unresolvable and the transaction is rolled back,making it seem as though the data disappeared, even though it had beenSELECTable via a different connection to the server?Thanks, by the way, to Simon and Erland for your advice on my previousquestions about this problem.Much warmth,M Wells

What is more efficient for a database design - a lot of tables with only a few records or a few tables with lots of records.
I'm starting a new site and each user will have numerous records but I'm not sure whether to have a few very large tables (over 100,000 rows) or start a new table for each user which would result in approx 1500 tables most of which would be the same table design with different rows.
I'm using SQL2000.
I guess this is quite a basic question, but I'm a bit unsure.
Any references anyone could point me too as well.
Thx

Hi
I'm fairly new to this, so bare with me...
I have to make a new installation of an MS SQL 2000 EE on a Windows 2003 Std. Edt.
HW:
---------------------
Dual Xeon 2,4 + 1 GB Ecc
1 x 32 MB Adaptec 2100S RAID Controller
2 x 18 GB 10K HD
4 x 18 GB 15K HD
---------------------
So far I have made following configuration....
---------------------
2 x 18 GB 10K HD / RAID 1
- C:OS
- D:MSSQL program files + System DB's (Master, pubs ect.)
4 x 18 GB 15K HD / RAID 5
- E:TempDB
- F:Data + Logs
---------------------
But I'm not sure that this is the optimal configuration, and I'm willing to start all over :)
So my q's are.......
--------------------
Which RAID configuration would you suggest?
Which partitions on the raids would you suggest?
Which usage would you assign the various partitions?
How do I move the system and temp db's?
--------------------
Thanx!

Here is the solution to this error message if anyone gets one in the future...It took me about two days to figure out.
This error occurs if you save your stored procedure before execute it. Always execute first before you save. If you save before executing, the server will store its own defaults, usually integers.
This error aslo occurs if your datatypes do not match when passing values from code into the variables of a stored procedure.
It also occurs if the datatypes in your sql file do not match those of the original stored procedure.
You can check to see if the file saved in the "Projects" folder matches with the original by doing the following:
Expand Database, Expand Programmability, Expand Stored Procedures, Expand (Your Stored Procedure), Expand Parameters. Read the datatypes that are revealed in the tree.
Then go to File>Open>Projects>(save sql file). Click open.
View the datatypes in the file. If the datatypes in the file do not match the datatypes in the tree, what you must do to correct, as one solution, is delete both the file and stored procedure.
Then create a new stored procedure by right clicking the stored procedure node. Rewrite the store procedure, execute and then save. Everything should be okay.

I am working with a report generator that is based on SQL Server 2000 anduses ASP as the UI. Basically we have a set of reports that end users canexecute through a web browser. In general the model works fine, but we arerunning into some scaling issues.What I'm trying to determine is, what is the optimal configuration for thissystem. It is currently a 2.4G Pentium with a large RAID and 1G of RAM. Wehave been using the "fixed" memory configuration, allocating 864M to SQL.This is on a Windows 2003 server box.This works fine when a "small" query or two is executed, but the performancesuffers terribly when several users try to run reports in parallel. A singlequery might take 10 minutes to run if nothing else is happening on the box,but if additional users log on an run reports, it's almost impossible topredict when the queries will finish.I am also looking at the effect of database size on performance, runningtests against a database with 1 month, 3 months, and say 12 months of data,running the same query against 2 databases in parallel. With the originalconfiguration, the results were all over the place, with the 12 monthdatabase outperforming the smaller dbs, while other times there was littledifference. It seems that once the system starts paging, and paging heavily,it's over; the system never "recovers" and queries that previously ran in afew minutes now take hours.I added 3 G more memory to the system, and modified boot.ini to include the/3GB switch. Now when I run the same tests, the results are much moreconsistent, as the system rarely ever has to swap. Then again I've neverseen it go past 1.7G in Task manager, making me think that any more than say2.5G of memory is a waste?Things we are trying to determine are:- in the SQL Server memory configuration, is Fixed better than Dynamic? Wehave read that Dynamic is not good at returning memory to the OS once it'sbeen allocated- What else can we do to optimize the performance for this application? Itseems to me if the indexes are properly designed, the database sizeshouldn't have that much impact on performance, but this appears to be trueonly to a point. In comparing the execution plans between say a 12 month anda 3 month database, the plans are sometimes dramatically different. I assumethis is due to the optimizer deciding that going directly to the base tablesand not using an index will result in better performance, when in reality,this doesn't always appear to be true.- Are there other SQL Server switches I should be tweaking? Is there somenumber of simultaneous queries that this configuration should be limited to?- What about other versions of SQL Server (e.g. Enterprise, Data Center,etc) would these buy us anything?Thanks for any advice,-Gary
