Cannot Work Out A Simple T-sql Query

Apr 2, 2008

Hi all,
I have a table with 2 columns (simplified for this question):
Date and Action

Date is normal datetime, Action is varchar and can be either Sent or Received. The data can look like this:

1. '2008-04-02 15:09:09.847', Sent
2. '2008-04-02 15:09:10.125', Sent
3. '2008-04-02 15:09:11.125', Received
4. '2008-04-02 15:09:12.459', Received
5. '2008-04-02 15:09:15.459', Received
6. '2008-04-02 15:09:24.121', Sent

7. '2008-04-02 15:09:28.127', Received

I want to find a pair of rows Sent-Received with the Max Date difference, where Received follows immediately after Sent.


It means in our example, valid are only lines
2. and 3. or
6. and 7.

In this example, rows 6. and 7. have bigger difference of Dates, so the result of the query should be

6. '2008-04-02 15:09:24.121', Sent, 7. '2008-04-02 15:09:28.127', Received


It is probably easy, I just cannot work it out. Suprisingly finding MIN was quite easy. Thanx for any tips!
Regards,
alvar

Simple SP Won't Work, This Is Sad.

Dec 14, 2004

I am kicking myself, but cannot seem to get a simple stored procedure to return ANY records. I know it's soming that has to do with the Joins. Don't know what. I ran query analyzer and passed it a valid city and nothing was returned, but no errors either. If I run the query without any parameters, all the records are retrieved fine. ANY IDEAS?

CREATE PROCEDURE spUnitsbyCity
@city varchar
AS

SELECT A.unitcity, A.unitid, B.radioip, B.radiomac, C.videoserverip

FROM tbl_units as A

INNER JOIN tbl_radios as B ON A.unitid = B.unitid
INNER JOIN tbl_videoservers as C ON A.unitid = C.unitid

WHERE A.unitcity = @city
GO

Can't Get A Simple Code To Work

Dec 8, 2003

Can someone please help me fix this. The if statement always runs. I only want it to run if the statement is true and there is a result coming back. If the productID does not have any magazines linking to it, I don't want the If statement to run. Thanks in advance.


ASP.NET code:

If Not Magazine.GetMagazinesForProduct(ProductID) Is Nothing Then
blanklabel.Text = categoryDetails.Spacer
blanklabel.Visible = True
blanklabel2.Text = categoryDetails.Spacer
blanklabel2.Visible = True
magazinerecommendedlabel.Text = "Recommended/Featured in the following magazine(s):"
magazinerecommendedlabel.Visible = True
End If
-------------------------

magazine class:

Public Function GetMagazinesForProduct(ByVal productID As String) As SqlDataReader
Dim connection As New SqlConnection(connectionString)

Dim command As New SqlCommand("GetMagazinesForProduct", connection)
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure

command.Parameters.Add("@ProductID", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50)
command.Parameters("@ProductID").Value = productID

connection.Open()

Return command.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
End Function

-----------------------

Stored Procedure:

CREATE PROCEDURE GetMagazinesForProduct
(@ProductID varchar)
AS
SELECT Magazine.[Name], Magazine.[Issue], Magazine.SmallImagePath
FROM Magazine INNER JOIN MagazineProduct
ON Magazine.MagazineID = MagazineProduct.MagazineID
WHERE MagazineProduct.ProductID = @ProductID
RETURN
GO

A Simple Trigger That Doesn't Work

Jan 18, 2006

Hi all, I have a problem with this trigger. It seams to be very simple, but it doesn't work...

I created a trigger on a table and I would want that this one updates a field of a table on a diffrent DB (Intranet). When I test it normally (a real situation), it doesn't work, but when I do an explicit update ("UPDATE AccesCard SET LastMove = getDate();" by example) it works.

If anyone could help me, I would appreciate.

NB: Is there a special way, in a trigger, to update a table when the table to update is on another BD ?

Francois

This is the trigger:
------------------------------------------------------------

ALTER TRIGGER UStatus
ON AccesCard
AFTER UPDATE, INSERT
AS

DECLARE @noPerson int

SET NOCOUNT OFF

IF UPDATE(LastMove)
BEGIN
SELECT @noPerson = Person FROM INSERTED
UPDATE Intranet.dbo._Users SET Intranet.dbo._Users.status = 1 WHERE personNo = @noPerson;
END

SET NOCOUNT ON

Cannot Get A Simple Database Application To Work

Apr 24, 2008

Hi,

I tried to create a simple application based on the Sql Server CE samples and, as is typical when I play with databases, the program failed. In this case it failed to even load. The program has a form and a data source that I dropped onto the form. When I run the program the program breaks at this line:




Code Snippetthis._connection = new global::System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeConnection();





The error is:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.DllNotFoundException' occurred in System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll
Additional information: Unable to load DLL 'sqlceme35.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

My first attempt at 'fixing' this was simply to copy the requisite DLLs to my bindebug folder. I found the DLLs here:
C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server Compact Editionv3.5 and copied these - sqlcecompact35.dll, sqlceca35.dll, sqlceme35.dll, sqlceoledb35.dll, sqlceqp35.dll and sqlcese35.dll, sqlceer35EN.dll - to my bindebug folder.

Now instead of the first error, I get this error:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.BadImageFormatException' occurred in System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll
Additional information: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)


I am running Vista Business (x64) and using (the desktop version of) Sql Server Compact Edition 3.5 with Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition. The test 'program' is written in C#. (Incidentally I can play with the database with no problems in Visual Studio 2008's server explorer. I can look at data, add data, etc.)

Can anyone please help?

Thanks.

Can't Get SQL Authentication To Work With XP Pro SP2 In Very Simple Test Case

Mar 6, 2007

I'm trying to work my way through the steps of using a User Id and Password in a connection string.

I'm working with SQL 2005 Express, VS2005, in the development server. Got an error I can't get around...tried it several diffent ways on a slightly more complicated test site...no joy...so went to the MSDN tutorial...made the most "vanilla" test I could think of, and still can't figure it out.

I thought it would be simple enough that I could post the whole thing (below)

The test works fine with Integrated Security = True in the connection string. When I remove that phrase, I get the error:

{"CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'.
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file E:MyPathApp_DataVSST_DB.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."}

This occurs on the cn.Open statement below.

It gets past the login, so I know that the SQL User and password match up correctly.

==========================
<connectionStrings>
<add name="VSST_CN"
connectionString="Data Source=MyServerSQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=E:MyPathApp_DataVSST_DB.mdf;User Id = VSST; Password=vsst123"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>

=========================
Page Code Behind (no controls on page)
------------

Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient

Partial Class _Default
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

Dim cn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("VSST_CN").ToString())

Dim cmd As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM VSST_Table", cn)
cn.Open()
Dim rdr As SqlDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
rdr.Read()
Response.Write(rdr(0).ToString())


End Sub
End Class


=================
The DB

Table VSST_Table,
ID is int, primary key, identity
Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, Field5 are varchar(50)

I added one record ("A", "B", "C", "D", "E") to the table through VS2005 Server Explorer

This shows up in Count = 1 from running the page when Integrated Security = True



=================
In SSMSE: (this is ALL I did, tried to use the minimum so not to confuse...)

I added the SQL Authentication Server level user "VSST" with the password "vsst123" (and the login works, as noted above)

I attach the .mdf

I add VSST to the Database Users, and give it db_owner

I add VSST to the Table with all permissions checked.

=====================================

I can't figure this out. This is a very vanilla test and I'm stumped. I'm about to give up on SQL Authentication entirely (at least for now), and just try to filter my inputs for SQL Injections...that's the only reason I have (at this stage in my biz plan) for needing SQL Authentication. On the other hand, I really don't like being this stumped on something that is so widely promoted as a common practice.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Simple Lab For Insert/retrive BLOB Doesn't Work, Why Not?

Sep 17, 2007



This is simple enough and I'm stumped. Why doesn't this work?




Code Snippet

exec xp_cmdshell @SQLcommand
go





I successfully see




Code SnippetImageWarehouseID ImageName Photo

then




Code Snippet

But testingimage_out.gif is unreadable. It's the same size (28k) as the original trestingimage.gif. Same result with a .jpg file. Try to open the file and it's just red X.

No SQL errors. Just result error. What am I overlooking?

Scheduling Simple Cdosys Email Task Does Not Work

Feb 26, 2007

I currently have a simple cdosys email task that has been scheduled to send a simple email from ssis.  The email is sent using an activex script in a "SQL 2000 DTS Package Task".  When executed manually, the email is sent ok.   When scheduled (and run under our SQL agent account), it fails.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  Is this a permissions issue?

'-- this script seems to cause problems, but only when scheduled --
    dim mailer
    set mailer = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
    dim cdoconfig
    const cdoDispositionNotificationTo = "urn:schemas:mailheader:disposition-notification-to"
    const cdoReturnReceiptTo = "urn:schemas:mailheader:return-receipt-to"
    set cdoconfig = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")

    with mailer
        set .Configuration = cdoconfig
        .BodyPart.charset = "unicode-1-1-utf-8"
        .BodyPart.ContentTransferEncoding = "quoted-printable"
        .Fields("urn:schemas:httpmail:importance").Value = 2
        .Fields.Update 

        .Subject      = "Notification"
        .From         = "donotreply@test.com"
        .TextBody   = "TEST"
        .Bcc           = "someone@test.com"
        .Send
    end with
'-------------


Also, since I have several DTS packages that are similar, I'd like to keep these packages in the SQL 2000 dts format, instead of converting them into SSIS format and using database mail.

Any help would be appreciated.

SQL CE 3.5, VS 2008 Beta2: Could Not Get A Simple INSERT Command To Work!

Sep 13, 2007

Hello,

I have installed VS 2008 Beta 2 which includes SQL CE 3.5, (I have VS 2005 installed too).

I can not get any INSERT command to work!

First i have tried the VS wizard for a new connection and a dataset. but after inserting a row into one of the dataset tables and then updating it to SQL CE with tha data adapter, nothing happens! NO ERROR and NO inserted row in the database file! so the identity of the inserted row in dataset table doesnt get updated.

Then i tried a simple code without any dataset in a clean solution:





Code Snippet

Dim con As New SqlCeConnection("Data Source=|DataDirectory|MyDatabase#1.sdf")
Dim cmd As New SqlCeCommand("INSERT INTO [Table1](Name) VALUES('TestValue')", con)
Try
con.Open()
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Catch ex As SqlCeException
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
Finally
con.Close()
End Try
NO ERROR! NO INSERTED ROW! Nothing happen!

I'm using it in a desktop application.

Why?

Regards,
Parham.

Why The Query Works In Query Analyser And Doesn't Work In Reporting Service ?

Apr 30, 2007



Hello everybody,



I'm developing a report using the following structure :



declare @sql as nvarchar(4000)

declare @where as nvarchar(2000)



set @sql = 'select ....'



If <conditional1>

begin

set @where = 'some where'

end



If <conditional2>

begin

set @where = 'some where'

end



set @sql = @sql + @where



exec(@sql)



I run it in query analyser and works fine, but when I try to run in Reporting Services, Visual studio stops responding and the cpu reaches 100 %.



I realize that when I cut off the if clauses, then it works at Reporting services.

Does anybody know what is happening?

Why the query works in query analyser and doesn't work in Reporting Service ?



Thanks,

Simple SQL Query -- Perhaps You Can Help

May 28, 2006

I hope it's considered appropriate to post a SQL query question here; it's not I'll gladly post this question elsewhere.  That having been said, I've run into a simple but quite tricky SQL query and was wondering if the community might be able to help.  Here's what's going on:
I have a "Documents" table.  Let's call it DI have a "Benefits" table.  Let's call it B.There is a many-to-many relationship between D and B so I have a third table to store the relationships.  Let's call that table BD.
When I create a document it creates a row in D.  Let's call that D1, D2...DN.  When I create a benefit it creates a row in B.  Let's call that B1, B2...BN
When I associate a document to a paritcular benefit, let's say that if D1 and B2 are associated, that I created row B2-D1 in my BD table.  Now here's what my challenge is.  Suppose I have these entries in my tables:
D: D1, D2, D3B: B1, B2, B3
Table BD:B1-D1B2-D1B2-D2
When the user goes to add documents to benefit B1, I want to show the user only documents that are not yet added to B1.  In this case, I want to show the user D2 and D3 but not D1 since that one's already added.  How do I write a SQL query to do this?
Here's what I've been using, but it shows too many results (e.g. included D1, D2, D3)
SELECT D.*, BD.*FROM Documents AS d LEFT JOIN rel_BenefitsDocuments AS bd ON d.doc_id = bd.doc_idWHERE (benefit_id <> @benefit_id OR benefit_id IS NULL)
Any thoughts?

Simple Query

Jan 7, 2005

This should be easy, I'm just having a brainfart at the moment, can't remember how to do this:

Say I have a bunch of records in a table, with an ID field as Key. I want to return the count of times each ID shows up, so for the following example data:

Code:


-----
| ID |
-----
| 1 |
| 2 |
| 1 |
| 4 |
| 1 |
| 4 |
------


Would return something like:

Code:


----------------
| ID | Count |
----------------
| 1 | 3 |
| 2 | 1 |
| 4 | 2 |
-----------------


This should be obvious but for some reason I can't see it.

When this is done I'm going to join in another table to get a name based on the ID with the highest count. I believe it's faster to do a TOP 1 here rather than after the join, but I want to verify that while I'm at it also.

Simple SQL Query

Sep 19, 2005

Hi folks,

I am a complete newbie to SQL. I have a simple query to make in SQL, but I'm not being able to construct the statement properly. I've already tried googling this info, but with little luck. If someone could help me here, I'd be very thankful.

The problem:

I have a table with a list of questions. All questions have a serial number. The query has to return whether a particular question is the last one in the table or not (according to serial no.)

Logically, this is the query -


Code:


select islast = 0
if count(*) from question where serialno > $serial != 0
else
select islast = 1;



The '$serial' part will get replaced dynamically before query execution through another program.

Any idea how to code this in valid SQL? I would like to make it a simple statement and not a stored procedure. Thanks.

Simple Sql Query..help Please

Sep 17, 2004

Hey.. hope someone can help, i desperatly need some assistance. I have a few query issues but first things first.. one is that i have a table of messages and users having an online conversation, so fields are msg id, subject, topic, message, user, reply to and time it was sent. Im trying to do a query that will tell me which user sent the most messages, ive tried using count and stuff like that but not really getting anywhere. It will basically have to count each time a user has spoken and then give me the name of the user that has sent the most messages, ive been playing around with stuff like
SELECT Count(*) AS Expr1
FROM Table1
WHERE User='andro8472' OR User='bumies';

That will count the times those users have spoken but cant get further

What Should Be A Simple Query

Feb 29, 2008

I'm having a bad day as I just cannot get a query to work and its doing my head in and it should be a simple query.

I'll try and explain what I need.

Have a simple query with one join, this is it so far:

SELECT DISTINCT Replace(StaffName,'''''',' ') AS StaffName,OutReason,OutStartDate
,OutEndDate,OutStartTime,OutEndTime,OutID
FROM vwOutOfOffice
LEFT OUTER JOIN vwStaffList ON OutUser=StaffID
WHERE OutComplete=0

What I'm having trouble with adding to the WHERE is as follows, I need a list of Staff who are out of the office based on the various criteria:

Example
Current date=29/02/2008
Current time=14:00

Start date---End Date----Start Time--End Time--Should Appear
27/02/2008--28/02/2008--09:00------17:00-----No (because of date)
28/02/2008--03/03/2008--08:00------17:00-----Yes
28/02/2008--29/02/2008--17:00------17:00-----Yes
29/02/2008--29/02/2008--12:00------14:00-----Yes
29/02/2008--29/02/2008--14:30------17:00-----No (because of time)
02/03/2008--02/03/2008--08:00------10:00-----No (because of date)

There may be others I've missed but as long as the dates combined with the times match correctly I need the records to appear.

Please help before I end up putting my head through the monitor.

A Simple Query...plz Help

Hi All,

The following table is entitled "class".

ID Number NameJoin DateSex
101 Jason01/02/1996M
117 Robert06/25/1999M
113 Doug08/12/1999M
161 Marian07/30/1998F

Please let me know the SQL queries for the following questions for the above table:

1)Write a Select statement that selects the persons whose Type is "M" and who have joined in the last four years and place the result in an array. Today's date is 12/31/1999.

2) Write a Select statement that selects the persons who do not have unique ID Number and place the results in an array.

3) Write code to sort the array by Name + Join Date. Assume that the array has already been created and is sorted in the same manner as the table above. The Join Date is of type smalldatetime. The Name field should be sorted case insensitively.



Thanks for your help.
