Please suggest correct answer (A,B,C,D) for the following Question

You are developing an application for a worldwide furniture wholesaler. You need to create an inventory table on each of the databases located in New York, Chicago, Paris, London, San Francisco, and Tokyo. In order to accommodate a distributed environment, you must ensure that each row entered into the inventory table is unique across all location. How can you create the inventory table?

A.Use the identity function. At first location use IDENTITY(1,4), at second location use IDENTITY(2,4), and so on.
B.Use the identity function. At first location use IDENTITY(1,1), at second location use IDENTITY(100000,1), and so on.
C.CREATE TABLE inventory ( Id Uniqueidentifier NOT NULL DEFAULT NEWID(), ItemName Varchar(100) NOT NULL, ItemDescription Varchar(255) NULL, Quantity Int NOT NULL, EntryDate Datetime NOT NULL).

Give the suitable answer for the below question and explain the answer.

1.You have designed the database for a Web site (or online ticketing agency) that is used to purchase concert tickets. During a ticket purchase, a buyer view a list of available tickets, decides whether to buy the tickets, and then attempts to purchase the tickets. This list of available tickets is retrieved in a cursor.
For popular concerts, thousands of buyers might attempt to purchase tickets at the same time. Because of the potentially high number of buyers at any one time, you must allow the highest possible level of concurrent access to the data. How should you design the cursor?

(A). Create a cursor within an explicit transaction, and set the transaction isolation level to REPEATABLE READ.
(B). Create a cursor that uses optimistic concurrency and positioned updates. In the cursor, place the positioned UPDATE statements within an explicit transaction.
(C). Create a cursor that uses optimistic concurrency. In the cursor, use UPDATE statements that specify the key value of the row to be updated in the WHERE clause, and place the UPDATE statements within an implicit transaction.
(D). Create a cursor that uses positioned updates. Include the SCROLL_LOCKS argument in the cursor definition to enforce pessimistic concurrency. In the cursor, place the positioned UPDATE statements within an implicit transaction.

Suggest Query In Other Way

Dec 3, 2007

Hi,

I have a table with two columns like this.

teacher table

teacher_id
1
2
3
4
5
6


student table

student_id --teacher_id

1 ----------- 10
1 ----------- 11
2 ----------- 12
2 ----------- 13
2 ----------- 14
3 ----------- 15
4 ----------- 16


Now i need the least assigned teacher_id's in the teachers table. i.e i need teacher_id's 5,6.

One possible way of writing the query is given below.



DECLARE @teachers TABLE
(
teacher_idint
)

INSERT INTO @teachers
SELECT1 UNION ALL
SELECT2 UNION ALL
SELECT3 UNION ALL
SELECT4 UNION ALL
SELECT5 UNION ALL
SELECT6

DECLARE @students TABLE
(
teacher_idint,
student_idint
)

INSERT INTO @students
SELECT1 , 10 UNION ALL
SELECT1 , 11 UNION ALL
SELECT2 , 12 UNION ALL
SELECT2 , 13 UNION ALL
SELECT2 , 14 UNION ALL
SELECT3 , 15 UNION ALL
SELECT4 , 16

-- query starts here

SELECT t.teacher_id
FROM @teachers t LEFT OUTER JOIN @students s
ON t.teacher_id = s.teacher_id
GROUP BY t.teacher_id
HAVING COUNT(s.teacher_id) =
(
SELECT TOP 1 COUNT(s.teacher_id)
FROM @teachers t LEFT OUTER JOIN @students s
ON t.teacher_id = s.teacher_id
GROUP BY t.teacher_id
ORDER BY COUNT(s.teacher_id)
)
-- query ends here


But the problem with this query is, i am using two outer joins on the same query and on the same tables....

If teacher table and student tables have few thousands of records, this query will not perform good....


Please suggest another way of writing the query which can perform well....

Thanks in advance

Error: 0xC02020A1 at Data Flow Task, Source - mysourcefile [1]: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "myBadColumn" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".
Error: 0xC020902A at Data Flow Task, Source - mysourcefile [1]: The "output column "myBadColumn" (157)" failed because truncation occurred, and the truncation row disposition on "output column "myBadColumn" (157)" specifies failure on truncation. A truncation error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.

Two questions:
1. How to tell SSIS not to stop for one bad row. Getting the good rows is more important than one bad row.

2. What code page do I need so this will load?

Please Suggest Backup Software

Oct 6, 2005

Hello,First of all - sorry for may be stupid question, but as I am not aWin* administrator and my field is *nix, I am a little bit stuck witha problem, presented to me by one of the customers. He has few windowsboxes with some webfile and (most important) - mssql database. And heasks for a backup. I found some company, which offers us IBM's Tivolisoftware, but my opinion is that they want a little bit too much forit and also, from my *nix experiece, I know there should be manyother products, probably cheaper and better. If not - we will usethat Tivoli. So we need to backup mssql data and some filessomewhere. The best would be on some ftp.Can anyone please suggest a good and simple way of making such kind ofbackup?Many thanks,Anton.

Words Suggest Or Spellcheck In MS SQL 2005 Express

Jan 26, 2007

I am trying to recreate the same functionality Google has in regards tosuggesting words (not names), when you misspell something it comes upwith suggestions.We have a list of words in the database to match against.I've looked at SOUNDEX but it is not close enough, DIFFERENCE is evenworse.The only way I can get SOUNDEX to be more accurate is withSELECT [word]FROM [tbl_word]WHERE ( SOUNDEX( word ) = SOUNDEX( 'test' ) AND LEN( word) = LEN('test' ) )I've been looking at Regular Expression matching which I reckon wouldprovide more accurate matches. Not sure how that will affectperformance, as we could be talking about 20,000 records.Or also been looking at the Double Metaphone algorithm.Is there something else that I am missing, anyone know what to use in asituation like this?Thanks in advance.

Substring

Jul 5, 2001

Hi all,
I have just started using SQL7 and quite dumb at it.
Here is my problem

i have tables ip_address and ip_subnets. both contains more than 20,000 records. Though ideally each subnet should correspond to only one ip address it is not so due to SMS inventory and remote clients configurations etc.

As an example If my ip address is 141.151.128.78 I need to select only 141.151.128.64 ( or atleast 141.151.128.*)as the valid subnet. In other words I need to compare upto 3rd octet and only if it matches with ip address then declare that as the valid subnet.
Pls note that ip addresses vary for each machine though there will 4 octets, I can't use character positions as the nos in each octet might vary from 1-255.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Pasted here under is the query script I am playing around with charcter poistions which are not working in my favor. Just added to explain my problems in more clearer way
select distinct system_data.name0, System_IP_Address_ARR.ip_addresses0, System_IP_subnets_Arr.ip_subnets0, system_disc.client0 from system_Data, System_IP_Address_ARR, system_ip_subnets_arr, system_disc where system_data.machineid = System_IP_Address_ARR.itemkey and system_data.machineid = system_ip_subnets_arr.itemkey and system_data.machineid = system_disc.itemkey and system_disc.client0 = 1 and substring(System_IP_Address_ARR.ip_addresses0,1,10 ) = substring(System_IP_subnets_ARR.ip_subnets0,1,10) and substring(System_IP_Address_ARR.ip_addresses0,10,1 ) = '.' and System_IP_subnets_ARR.ip_subnets0 not in ('11%.%.%.%','12%.%.%.%', '10%.%.%.%' , '10.%.%.%' , '1.%.%.%') order by System_DATA.name0

I an trying gto devide this one field that contains city state and zip into 3 seperate columns. The Column right now looks like this:

Coulumn1

SOUTH EL MONTE CA91733617
BOSSIER LA71172
GARDENA CA90249107
MILWAUKEE WI53216
PARIS IL61944
DUQUOIN IL62832
REDWOOD FALLS MN56283
AUBURN ME04210


I tryed this:

use cimpro1
select substring(cust_shipto_addr_l3, 1, 19) as 'City',
substring(cust_shipto_addr_l3, 20, 21) as 'State',
substring (cust_shipto_addr_l3, 22, 31) as 'Zip'
from opcshto


For some reason, when I run the query I get this for State:

State
-------------------------
CA91733617
LA71172
CA90249107
WI53216
IL61944
IL62832
MN56283
ME04210


When I use the substring to only pull characters 20 and 21 it pulls everything startign at 20. I just want it to select character position 20 ans 21 for the state. As far as the substring for City and Zip, everything comes out fine. Its just State that I am having trouble with.

Any help is appreciated.
