Hello all,
I'm new to SQL and my Teach Yourself in Blah Blah Blah book doesn't index anything helpful to my task. I have a single
TABLE ratings (rid INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, mvid INTEGER, uid INTEGER, rating INTEGER)
with about 100,000,000 rows. I would ultimately like to be able to select rows that are the intersection of two mvid on uid or vice versa -- that is, all rows whose uid is present in the set of rows where mvid=a AND in the set where mvid=b (or vice versa). Something like:
ridmviduidrating
----------------------
1123763
2123314
3123442
4211652
5211764
6211445
7535933
8535762
SELECT * FROM ratings INTO @temp_table WHERE mvid=123
SELECT * FROM ratings WHERE uid IN @temp_table AND mvid=211returns
5211764
6211445
FIRST, I don't know how to accomplish this intersection at all and the only idea I've had is querying the first clause of the intersection and storing it in a temporary/variable table then selecting from that and the original table for the second clause (not that I know how to do this), but I'm afraid this will be very inefficient for the >O(n^2) queries I must perform, so SECOND, should I build derived intersection tables from the results so as to have ~O(1) when repeating the queries later, or will SQL be doing sufficient behind-the-scenes magic? Is there an efficient SQL statement that could generate table(s) of the set of intersections if necessary? Thanks
I have a table with no keys (temp table) which looks like this : col1|col2|col3 001|A|.087 001|B|.032 001|C|.345 002|A|.324 002|B|.724 003|A|.088 003|C|.899 001|A|.087 001|A|.234 001|B|.032
As you see, there is some duplicate entries in it. I would like to get a list of all the rows that have the same col1 and col2 BUT different col3 value. The result should return col1=001 col2=A but NOT col1=001 col2=B. I tried a lot of queries with EXISTS, HAVING, etc... but nothing seems to work.
I'm trying to build dynamic sql from a string passed by a callingapplication. Let's assume for this discussion that the user can pass astring of letters with these logical operators ("and", "or", and "andnot") seperating them. Each letter can be rebuilt into a sub querythat will search for people in a table by their middle initial. Forexample,X and Y(select SSN from tblPerson where MiddleInitial = 'X') UNION(select SSN from tblPerson where MiddleInitial = 'Y')This seems pretty easy with the and operator (UNION) but how can I do"or" and "and not"? I remember from a SQL class I had 10 years agothat there was an INTERSECTION operator but it appears that T-SQLdoesn't support it. The closest option is EXIST and NOT EXIST butthese can not be simply inserted between two sub queries (I think),they require the user of a where clause. It would obviously work inthe example above but in the more complecated example below it wouldn'tbe an easy replacement of the operators and sub queries.X and (Y or J) and not LSo, the bottom line is that I have no problem replacing the letterswith the appropriate sub query but I'm looking for a way to replace thelogical operator with SQL syntax that will mimic the logical operator.I hope this makes sense. : )Will Wirtz
Lets say that Dealers have ZipCodes, and that a Dealer can have more than one zipCode, and we want the list of dealers that have both 90210 and 90211 zip codes. BUT we don't want any dealers that have only one of the two ZipCodes in question
What I want to do is something like this
Select DealerID from DealerZips where Zip = '90210' intersection Select DealerID from DealerZips where Zip = '90211'
but I get this error msg: Line 2: Incorrect syntax near 'intersection'
The following sql is silly, but it does run without error Select DealerID from DealerZips intersection Select DealerID from DealerZips
So I am pretty sure my problem is with the Where clauses.
I'm trying to create a report and chart for a a manufacturing resource's activity for a given period (typically 30-90 days)
Jobs are created for the length of the run (e.g. 4 days). If the weekend is not worked and the above jobs starts on a Friday, the resource's activity needs to show 1 day running, 2 days down, 3 days running without the production scheduler having to make it two jobs. (A job can have multiple interruptions due to downtime). I have the jobs' schedules in one table and the downtimes in another (so think of the downtime as a calendar table--non working hours). Unusually, the end time is supplied with the downtime factored in.
So I need the query to create 3 datetime ranges for this job: Fri running, Sat,Sun down, Mon,Tues,Wed Running. Been going round in circles on this for a while. i'm sure there's an elegant way to do it: I just can't find it. I've found several similar post, but can't apply any to my case (or at least can;t get them to work)
Below is some sample date and expected results. I hope the explanation and example data is clear.
-- Create tables to work with / Source and Destination CREATE TABLE #Jobs ( ResourceID int ,JobNo VARCHAR(10) ,startdate SMALLDATETIME ,enddate SMALLDATETIME
[Code] ....
Below is some sample data
|--------------------------J1------------------------------------| running |----D1-----| |-------D2-------| down |--J1--|----D1-----|-------J1------|-------D2-------|-----J1-----| result
|-----------------J1-----------------------| running |----D1-------| down |-----------------J1-----------------------| |----D1-------| result
Is it possible to filter out a measure only at the intersection of Two dimension members? I have a date dimension, Â a Hospital dimension and a wait time measure.
For Example, is it possible to filter out Wait time for Bayside Hospital for the Month of June 2015?
I want Wait time to continue to be displayed for all other months and roll up into the totals without the filtered value.
I'd like to create a report with the folloiwng format:
DATE1 DATE2 DATE3 DATE4 DATE5 [fixed 5 dates across the top, from today to T+5]
THING1 x x x x
THING2 x x x x
THING3 x x x x
THING4 x x x x
my raw data looks like this:
THING1, DATE1, TEXT VALUE 1
THING1, DATE2, TEXT VALUE 2
&c&c.
Now: there may be 0, 1 or several (by which I mean 2-5 max) text values to display at each intersection. If there are zero I'd like it to be blank, if there are one or several, i'd like to display them in a little list within the cell.
I am using SQL Server 2005 and trying to create a linked server on Oracle 10. I used the commands below: EXEC sp_addlinkedserver @server = 'test1', @srvproduct = 'Oracle', @provider = 'MSDAORA', @datasrc = 'testsource' exec sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname = 'test1', @useself = 'false', @rmtuser='sp', @rmtpassword='sp'
When I execute select * from test1...COUNTRY I get the error. "The OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server "...." does not contain the table "COUNTRY". The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table." The 'sp' user I am connecting is the owner of the table. What could be the problem ? Thanks a lot.
I have created a table Table with name as Varchar and id as int. Now i have started inserting the rows like, insert into Table values ('arun',20).Yes i have inserted a row in the table. Now i have got the values " arun's ", 50. insert into Table values('arun's',20) My sqlserver is giving me an error instead of inserting the row. How will you solve this problem?
I am having a table called as status ,in that table one field is there i.e. currentstatus. the rows which are having currentstatus as "ticket closed",i want to move those rows into other table called repository which is having same table structure as status table. I can do programatically. but is there any way for every 3 months system has to check and do this action means moving to repository table automatically?
I'm inserting from TempAccrual to VacationAccrual . It works nicely, however if I run this script again it will insert the same values again in VacationAccrual. How do I block that? IF there is a small change in one of the column in TempAccrual then allow insert. Here is my query
INSERT INTO vacationaccrual (empno, accrued_vacation, accrued_sick_effective_date, accrued_sick, import_date)
For reasons that are not relevant (though I explain them below *), Iwant, for all my users whatever privelige level, an SP which createsand inserts into a temporary table and then another SP which reads anddrops the same temporary table.My users are not able to create dbo tables (eg dbo.tblTest), but arepermitted to create tables under their own user (eg MyUser.tblTest). Ihave found that I can achieve my aim by using code like this . . .SET @SQL = 'CREATE TABLE ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstIDDATETIME)'EXEC (@SQL)SET @SQL = 'INSERT INTO ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())'EXEC (@SQL)This becomes exceptionally cumbersome for the complex INSERT & SELECTcode. I'm looking for a simpler way.Simplified down, I am looking for something like this . . .CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestInsert ASCREATE TABLE tblTest(tstID DATETIME)INSERT INTO tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())GOCREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestSelect ASSELECT * FROM tblTestDROP TABLE tblTestIn the above example, if the SPs are owned by dbo (as above), CREATETABLE & DROP TABLE use MyUser.tblTest while INSERT & SELECT usedbo.tblTest.If the SPs are owned by the user (eg MyUser.TestInsert), it workscorrectly (MyUser.tblTest is used throughout) but I would have to havea pair of SPs for each user.* I have MS Access ADP front end linked to a SQL Server database. Forreports with complex datasets, it times out. Therefore it suit mypurposes to create a temporary table first and then to open the reportbased on that temporary table.
The following dbo.Tables of Northwind.mdf in my .SQLEXPRESS (SQL Server Management Studio Express) are missing: dbo.Categories dbo.CustomerCustomerDemo dbo.CustomerDemographics dbo.Customers dbo.Employees dbo.EmployeeTerritories dbo.Order Details dbo.Orders dbo.Products dbo.Regions dbo.Shippers dbo.Suppliers dbo.Territories.
But, I have these dbo.Tables in a different Database "xyzDatabase". How can I copy each of these dbo.Tables to the another blank dbo.Table of Northwind Database?
I right clicked on the dbo.Categories and I saw the following thing: dbo.Categories New Table... Modify Open Table Script Table as |> CREATYE To |> DROP To |> SELECT To |> INSERT To |> New Query Editor Window File.... Clipboard UPDATE To |> DELETE to |> From the above observation,I think it is possible to copy the dbo.Table from the one Database to the Northwind Database that needs to be repaired. Please help and advise me how to do this task or tell me where I can find the Microsoft document that gives the details of this X-copy thing.
Thanks in advance, Scott Chang
P. S. I am using VB 2005 Express to create a project to learn "Calling Stored Procedures with ADO.NET" (see Paul Kimmel's article in http://www.developer.com/db/article.php/3438221) that needs the dbo.Tables of Northwind Database and my Northwind Database has been screwed up for quite a while and needs a big repair.
--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?
Banti writes "IF i create temporary table by using #table and ##table then what is the difference. i found no difference. pls reply. first: create table ##temp ( name varchar(25), roll int ) insert into ##temp values('banti',1) select * from ##temp second: create table #temp ( name varchar(25), roll int ) insert into #temp values('banti',1) select * from #temp
both works fine , then what is the difference waiting for ur reply Banti"
I would like to return the nearest date of Table B in my table like for
ID W001 in table B should return ID A002 CreatedDatetime: 2014-06-03 20:05:48.000 ID W002 in table B should return ID A004 CreatedDatetime: 2014-06-04 01:05:48.000
I have a column defined as smalldatetime. Default length (4), and "allow NULLS" is checked.In the Enterprise Manager UI, when i enter data into that table row, if i just tab past that column, all is well, and the value is represented in the UI as <NULL>.The problem comes once i ever enter a date into that column. Say i have entered a date (all is well), and now i want to remove that entry and go back to NULL (after the date value has been committed, different entry session, say).How is that done?It seems to me, once a date has ever been entered into that column, now, if i try to remove it, i get the error "The value you entered is not consistant with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit". I have tried deleting the value, entering spaces, entering the string NULL or the string <NULL>; maybe some other tries as well, but none works, i always get that error message and am not allowed to proceed past that cell until i restore a date value to it. I want to get back to <NULL>.Anybody know?Thank you.Tom
I am stuck on finding a solution to transpose source data from a system via a metadata look-up table into a destination table. I need a method to transpose/pivot the source data into columns (which are by various data-types). The datatypes for each column are listed in a metadata table.
Source Data Table:
Table Name: Source
SrcID AGE City Date 01 32 London 01-01-2013 02 35 Lagos 02-01-2013 03 36 NY 03-01-2013
Metadata Table:
Table Name:Metadata
MetaID Column_Name Column_type 11 AGE col_integer 22 City col_character 33 Date col_date
Destination table:
The source data to be loaded into the destination table(as shown below):
i am inserting something into the temp table even without creating it before. But this does not give any compilation error. Only when I want to execute the stored procedure I get the error message that there is an invalid temp table. Should this not result in a compilation error rather during the execution time.?
--create the procedure and insert into the temp table without creating it. --no compilation error. CREATE PROC testTemp AS BEGIN INSERT INTO #tmp(dt) SELECT GETDATE() END
only on calling the proc does this give an execution error
I created am inventory table with few columns say, Servername, version, patching details, etc
I want a tracking of the table.
Let's say people are asked to modify the base table and I want a complete capture of the details modified and the session of the user ( ) who (system_user) is actually modifying the details.
I have 2 tables: Order(ID, Quantity) and Product(ID,Name, Price) and I want to add a calculated field in Order table based on the price column in the Product table. How do i do that?
this query returns the values i want in the table.
select a.quantity * b.price from tblCustomerPurchases as a join tblProduct as b on a.ID=b.ID

I keep getting this error when trying to generate a snapshot for transact replication. Here is the publishing table schema:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[viMediaPlaylist]( [MemberID] [bigint] NOT NULL, [xmlPlaylist] [xml](CONTENT [dbo].[viMediaPlaylistCollectionSchema]) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [MemberID] ASC )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, FILLFACTOR = 90) ON [PRIMARY] ) ON [PRIMARY]
I tried the following: #1)Create table schema at the subscriber manually, and change package to Keep object as is. Got the same error during snapshot.
#2Filtered replication to NOT include XML column. This worked, and no error was generated, replication was up and running.
So my question is, what is the problem with XML column being replicated? Any ideas how i can make this work? At this point i'm not sure what the problem is with the xml column, but it seems like ti tries to run schema script, but i'm not asking it to create the schema i already did it myself. Thanks!

Hello, Maybe anyone have done that before? I have table where i store SOURCE_TABLE_NAME and DESTINATION_TABLE_NAME, there is about 120+ tables. i need make SSIS package which selects SOURCE_TABLE_NAME from source ole db, and loads it to DESTINATION_TABLE_NAME in destination ole db.
I made such SSIS package. set ole db source data access mode to table or view name variable. set ole db destination data access mode to table or view name variable. set to variables defoult values (names of existing tables) but when i loop table names is changed, it reports error, that can map columns, becouse in new tables is different columns.
