We have a quad sql server that runs OLTP transactions at the rate of
100's per second (read & Write).
We used to have all the tables on 1 file but started to notice high contention on this file. We added 3 more files to match the processor number. The problem is that the 3 additional files are not filling with data. Does anyone know why this happens or can reccommend a fix?

I've done some basic database design in the past, but am a relative newbie to design. I have recently come across a situation I'm not sure how to handle. Here's the situation...
Assume we've got a contacts table which holds information about our contacts. All contacts have the same basic information - name, address, telephone, etc. Each contact is of a certain type - let's just say a, b, and c, for ease. This contact type is stored in the contacts table. Now, on contacts of type b, I also have to store some additional data. What it is doesn't really matter. I found a way to set this up, but I'm not sure that I'm going about it the right way, and would love some advice on the proper way to do this. Basically, what I did is create my contacts table:
Contact_id, contactName, ContactAddress, ContactPhone, ContactType.
Created a contacttype table
ContactType, ContactTypeDescription, ContactAddInfo
What I've done is left contactaddInfo as a nullable field. When it has a value, that value is the name of a table which holds the additional information that I need for the contact... So when I'm running a query, I can tell if I need to reference another table by checking the value of ContactAddInfo.
I can't imagine that this is the best solution, but it was the first thing that popped into my head, and it's a really small database that's using it. However, I'm now being faced with the same situation in a much more important, larger database, and I'd love to know the 'right' way.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide!

I proposed on a new server that we separate Data Files, Log Files, tempDB, Backups, etc. onto separate LUNS on a SAN with High Speed Solid State Drives.I was told that with the new technology with solid state SAN's that it would decrease performance and that it did not work the same way as it did when you had RAID 5's etc.I thought that if things were cared out correctly by a SAN Administrator they would know how to configure for optimal performance.

Hello all. Before my arrival at my current employer, our consultantsphysically set up our MSSQL 7 server as follows:drive c: contains the mssql enginedrive d: contains the transaction logdrive e: contains the data filesNo filegroups were set up and the data files consist of only 1 largephysical file. Currently, our data file is >10GB. When I was trained onthe physical aspects of sqlserver, I was told to never create physical files[color=blue]> 2048MB each. If I did, I could expect inefficient physical storage of[/color]data and slower performance (due to the OS).Our server has 2 RAID-5 arrays. Drive c: and e: are located on the firstarray and drive d: on the second. We're running Windows 4.0 NT Server SP6with NTFS.Can someone comment on the use of 1 single large data file vs. more smallerdata files?

Hi,
What are all the performance parameters to be analyzed, in an existing production server, to accommodate an additional database.

I have two tables that I am pulling data from to insert into a third table.
Table 1:
Organization Address Date
Name 404 St. 12/31/1999
Table 2:
Organization Software Type Quantity
Name SW1 5
Name SW2 6
Name SW3 7
Name SW4 8
My query looks something like this:
INSERT INTO Organization SW Reqs (Name, Address, Date, SW1 Quantity, SW2 Quantity, SW3 Quantity)
SELECT Table 1.Name, Table 1.Address, Table 1.Date,
(Select Table 2.Quantity Where Table 2.Software Type = 'SW1'),
(Select Table 2.Quantity Where Table 2.Software Type = 'SW2'),
(Select Table 2.Quantity Where Table 2.Software Type = 'SW3')
FROM Table 1, Table 2
WHERE Table 1.Organization = Table 2. Organization
Sadly, this query gives me four rows, one for each Software Type. I have tried putting DISTINCT after my SELECT, but that narrows it down to two rows only. I would really like to have just a one row result per organization.
Part of the code as follows:
SELECT
ARDoc."Cpnyid", ARDoc."Custid", ARDoc."CuryOrigDocAmt", ARDoc."DocBal", ARDoc."DocDate", ARDoc."Doctype", ARDoc."slsperid", ARDoc."Territory", ARDoc."RecordType", ARDoc."user7",
ARTran."CmmnPct", ARTran."CuryTranAmt", ARTran."DrCr", ARTran."ExtCost", ARTran."InvtId", ARTran."JrnlType", ARTran."Qty", ARTran."RefNbr", ARTran."Rlsed", ARTran."S4Future04", ARTran."S4Future05", ARTran."TranAmt", ARTran."TranClass", ARTran."TranDate", ARTran."TranType", ARTran."UnitDesc", ARTran."UnitPrice",
RptCompany."CpnyName", RptCompany."RI_ID",
Customer."Name",
Salesperson."CmmnPct", Salesperson."Name", Salesperson."SlsperId"
FROM
{ oj ((("SOLUSBS02APP"."dbo"."zARDoc_Comm" ARDoc INNER JOIN "SOLUSBS02APP"."dbo"."RptCompany" RptCompany ON
ARDoc."Cpnyid" = RptCompany."CpnyID")
INNER JOIN "SOLUSBS02APP"."dbo"."Customer" Customer ON
ARDoc."Custid" = Customer."CustId")
LEFT OUTER JOIN "SOLUSBS02APP"."dbo"."Salesperson" Salesperson ON
ARDoc."slsperid" = Salesperson."SlsperId")
LEFT OUTER JOIN "SOLUSBS02APP"."dbo"."ARTran" ARTran ON
ARDoc."Custid" = ARTran."CustId" AND
ARDoc."Refnbr" = ARTran."RefNbr" AND
ARDoc."Doctype" = ARTran."TranType"}
Currently, if a new rep takes over for an old ones invoices and accounts...he will also get credit on the report which this query is for. Instead I need to use a table SOShipHeader to be 'date sensitive'. SOShipHeader will have the correct 'SlsperID', but will still need to pull the name from Salesperson."Name"
My guess, would be that I need to wedge the SOShipHeader table between the ARDoc and Salesperson tables?
I have the following fields in table A:
GL_ID|GL_Name_VC| Amount |Period_TI|Year_SI|
===================================================
1000| Sales_HW| -20,000.00 | 01 | 2005
===================================================
1000| Sales_SW| -10,000.00 | 01 | 2005
===================================================
1001| Cost_HW | 5,000.00 | 01 | 2005
===================================================
1001| Cost_SW | 5,000.00 | 01 | 2005
the fields above have the following datatype:
Fields | Datatype
===================================
GL_ID | Integer
GL_Name_VC | Variable Character
Amount | Integer
Period_TI | TinyInteger
Year_SI | SmallInteger
The above database is running on Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and i would like to query
for a report that looks something as below:
Sales Category | Sales | Cost | Profit
=================================================
HW |-20,000.00 |5,000.00| -15,000.00
SW |-10,000.00 |5,000.00| -5,000.00
=================================================
Total |-30,000.00 |10,000.00|-20,000.00
The above report have 4 columns, with last column being a calculated field (Sales-Cost)
Guys, hope someone out there can help me with the sql command for the above report?

Hi All,
I have developed a report using report viewer in asp.net web form. The report is generated based on the selection of Department. User have an option to multi select the departments so the department column grows. Lets say user select Business category first and generate the report then user decides to add another department say Engineering. No the report column headers will have addional column "Engineering". I have used the Matrix since I had to group by Name and dates. Everything is good so far.
Now I have to add an additional column "Notes" at the end of all the columns. If there is ony department is chosen then Notes column appears after that and if mulitple departments are chosen the Notes column should also appear after all the department column (at the very end).
I am really having hard time to accomplish this. Is there any suggestion or solution to finish this? I really appreciate your responses.
Thank you.

I have a stored procedure which is used to search records in the database based on the data sent from the web page. There are several search fields and all of them are in one table (Table1) except the "CallerName" field which is in a different table (Table2). Since I had to show CallerName also in the gridview apart from other columns, I did a LEFT JOIN (using field CallerNumber) to show all the required fields from Table1 and CallerName from Table2.
Now heres the problem. Since CallerName is a search criteria, its supposed to be in the WHERE clause after the JOIN or in the JOIN clause itself. The problem is, if I put it in WHERE clause, the result set doesn't show records from Table1 which do not have a matching CallerNumber in Table2. SELECT T1.CallerNumber, T1.DateCalled, T2.CallerName
FROM Table1 T1
LEFT JOIN Table2 T2 on
T1.CallerNumber = T2.CallerNumber
WHERE T1.CallerNumber = 'some number' AND T2.CallerName = 'some name' If I put it in the JOIN condition, it works just like a LEFT JOIN is supposed to work, showing all the records in Table1 and also those which had CallerName in Table2. SELECT T1.CallerNumber, T1.DateCalled, T2.CallerName
FROM Table1 T1
LEFT JOIN Table2 T2 on
T1.CallerNumber = T2.CallerNumber AND T2.CallerName = 'some name'
WHERE T1.CallerNumber = 'some number'
1st SQL won't work for me because it doesn't show all the records in Table1, even when no search criteria is specified.2nd SQL won't work for me because it shows more than required when just CallerName is sent from the web page as search criteria. It will show all the records where CallerName is "some name" and also all the additional records (since it is a left join).
Can I get the goodness of both in one or do I have to create two separate Stored Procedures?
Thanks all,Bullpit

LEFT OUTER JOIN Type b ON b.typeID = a.typeID
LEFT OUTER JOIN Users c ON c.userID = a.userID
LEFT OUTER JOIN Status f ON f.statusID = a.statusID
ORDER BY ' + @SortOrder)
I modied this procedure to create one in which I select tickets based on the userEmail as a criteria as well.. this one fails due to Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'BY'

I am trying to use Reporting Services but is proving more difficult than I envisaged. Here's the problem, when I try to use management studio to change the Server type to a Report server, it is disabled. Hence I cannot change it. When I read msdn, it stated that this was caused by the fact that report services was not installed. However, when I look at SQL Configuration Manager, it shows that Report Services is running. Am I not understanding something? What am I doing wrong?

I am looking to sum the dollar amounts spent by customer for their last five visits (actually looking for avg. spend in the last five trips).
So we are dealing with three fields: CustID, Date, Cost
I've had to do it the HARD way -- Crystal Report with running total fields numbering the five most recent trips (essentially rowID by group) and summing the $ figure; export to Access the entire report (1,000,000 records), and delete every record where the running rowID <> 5
There has to be a straightforward way to do this.
Any Top N query I've seen doesn't seem to be able to return a field other than the one sorting on. This is most annoying.
