Choose Main Or Preferred Supplier ( Was A Thing That Cannot Be Solved...?)
Jan 24, 2005
I have a table which contains suppliers that can supply certain articles.
There can be many suppliers to each article, and therefore there is a field that tells you if this supplier is the main supplier for the article, this field is called "arthuvudavt". However, you aren't forced to use this field in the table.
As a alternative you can use priority. Each supplier has given priority where
0 means "most preferred" and any other means "less preferred"
What I want to do is to pick the right supplier for a given article in one SQL-statement regardless of if you choose to use the priority or if you choose to use the main supplier field.
Abbreviated description of the table, called AL.
SuppNo Article Arthuvudavt Prio
10101 A-10 NULL 0
10202 A-10 1 0
10303 A-10 NULL 1
10101 B-10 NULL 0
10202 B-10 NULL 0
10303 B-10 NULL 1
10101 C-10 NULL 1
10202 C-10 NULL 0
10303 C-10 NULL 1
In the above case, I'd like the statement to return supplier 10202 for article A-10 (the one that has the arthuvudavt checked), and
only one row for B-10, which one doesn't really matter, since someone has been making a fault here, this should not happen, but my SQL-statement should break because of this scenario. For C-10 supplier 10303 should be returned.
Is there any way this could be done?
The reason I ask is that I try to learn new ways of solving things, and this problem was kind'a easily solved using variables, but I was wondering if it was possible to do it without it.
Thanks in advance
Jonas
Sorry for the poor formatting, I didn't have the time to make it right.

We have a hosted SQL server with various internal applications on it. It has been decided by on high that the same server will also have a database from a third party on the server. The third party have asked for full system admin rights on the SQL server.
Obviously I am not going to grant that access level as it gives them full control on the box. From my viewpoint read and write access to the data can be tolerated but anything else will be denied. Would you consider this standard and is there any documentation with recommendations for control of external suppliers ?
I am sure that they shouldn`t be doing any work on tables structure, sp`s etc on a live database. That work should be tested, scripted etc and then run on in a controlled environment by my company.
Anyone have any advice ?
Thanks

I have tried various methods with the TOP 1 and DISTINCT statements, but have not been able to get the results I am looking for. Help would be appreciated.

Right now I am leaning towards joining a temp table that pulls my aggregates in and then joins them on metric id and year month. But I noticed my bosses boss who knows this stuff a lot more than I, seemed to do direct inserts dropping that whole range.
Same criteria but different approach. I like updating the new results and not dropping or deleting the contents. I like using temp tables too it makes it easy to just select into them and join off of them on the destination table that will be updated.

What is the best way to check for an existing table in a db (i.e. check to be performed when creating a table)
I have came accross the following:
Code Block
IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_TYPE='BASE TABLE' AND TABLE_NAME='someTable')
and
Code Block
if not exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id('[someUser].[someTable]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, 'IsUserTable') = 1)
Note I want to work with tables that can have any name (unicode chars accepted);
I realise that INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES is a view, and views are generally preffered, but why then does enterprise manager create the SQL found in the second example?
If anyone could explain what is best practice, it would be much appreciated,
Thanks
Kenny

I have 3 tables: Suppliers, Documents and Verification, each document may have multiple verification where I need to get the last verification according to verification date. So I just need a "Select top 1 result from Documents, Verification where doc_iddoc=ver_iddoc and result='True' order by ver_date desc" so far I get the result of the last verification, but here's the problem:
I need to get a row with the count of documents for each supplier, I mean:
Supplier Name   Docs    NegativeVerification
Acme Co         10           1
that is I would need to loop for each supplier and each document and get the last verification, if one of any of documents have negative verification then add it to negative results. Is it possible to achieve this with a query or do I have to do it through stored procedure?

What is the best approach to utilize a recursive CTE (Common Table Expression) to filter a resultset? The CTE function is used in all application queries to limit recursively the final resultset based on a provided hierarchical organization identifier. i.e. join from some point in the organization chart on down based on an organization id. I would prefer that the query could be run real-time. i.e. not having to persist the prediction portion of the results to a sql relational table and then limiting the persisted results based on the CTE function.
It appears that I can use a linked server to access the prediction queries directly from SQL Server (link below). I believe that I might also be able to deploy a CTE recursive function within a .net assembly to the Analysis Server but I doubt that recursive functionality is availalble without a linked SQL Server.

I am running SQL 2014 2-node AlwaysON Availability groups, Enterprise Edition in our environment and 5 databases are part of AG.
Question is, sometimes AG is getting failed over to node2 but always our preferred node is node1 due to some business needs otherwise some of our jobs will fail.
So, what I looking for is, a sql script which can handle a situation wherein, for some reason, AG is failed over to node2, it should be able to detect if node1 is back online or not and if so, it should fail back to node1. How to do this using tsql query or stored proc or sql agent job ?

As a burgeoning SQL developer I have never really understood the need for SQL Server / Enterprise Manager to show us the whole dbo.Table name thing. What is dbo, and why do we need to know deal with it?With that said, in my SQL 2005 Express database all of my project tables for my project management demo were named guard.pgUsers for example and not dbo.pgUsers.How come? Why did they get named different on their own?

I try to do:
DECLARE
@ThisMinute DateTime,
@ThisDay DateTime
SET@ThisMinute = DATEADD(MINUTE, DATEDIFF(MINUTE, '20000101', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP), '20000101')
SET@ThisDay = DATEADD(DAY, DATEDIFF(DAY, '20000101', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP), '20000101')
SELECT
row_number() over (order by MAX(HeadlineDate)) as Number,
COUNT(ArticleID) AS [Count],
MIN(DATEADD(dd, - (DAY(HeadlineDate) - 1), HeadlineDate)) AS HeadlineDate
FROM
dbo.ZMArticle
WHERE
PortalID=0
GROUP BY
MONTH(HeadlineDate), Year(HeadlineDate)
ORDER BY
MAX(HeadlineDate) desC
Which works fine, but when I do:
DECLARE
@ThisMinute DateTime,
@ThisDay DateTime
SET@ThisMinute = DATEADD(MINUTE, DATEDIFF(MINUTE, '20000101', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP), '20000101')
SET@ThisDay = DATEADD(DAY, DATEDIFF(DAY, '20000101', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP), '20000101')
SELECT
row_number() over (order by MAX(HeadlineDate)) as Number,
COUNT(ArticleID) AS [Count],
MIN(DATEADD(dd, - (DAY(HeadlineDate) - 1), HeadlineDate)) AS HeadlineDate
FROM
dbo.ZMArticle
WHERE
PortalID=0
AND
Expiredate <> Null
GROUP BY
MONTH(HeadlineDate), Year(HeadlineDate)
ORDER BY
MAX(HeadlineDate) desC
it doesn't return anything....
How can I change that

Hi,I have a corporate database with about 60 different tables that spansmanufacturing, accounting, marketing, etc.It is possible, but unwieldy, to establish a relationship for eachtable in the entire database through critical fields like customer_idor product_id.But should I do that?My question is: Is there such a thing as too many relationships? CanI establish referential integrity via relationships with criticaltables like Accounting, but leave the rest unconnected and simply useJOINS in my business code?Thanks,HC

I'm have a stored procedure that iterates through a list of numbers and adds an item for each number (user id) some of these ids are duplicates which is fine even necessary for the first part of my query but for the last I need to ensure that no duplicates id's are passed to the stored procedure, in this case called 'spInsertForBackupNote'. My thoughts here was to do something like this:
SET @Note_Buffer = @UserID -- @Note_Buffer being some kind of array?
IF @Note_Buffer = @UserID -- If its been added to the buffer we dont execute sp
BEGIN
Do Nothing here
END
ELSE
BEGIN
EXECUTE spInsertForBackupNote @FK_UserID, @FK_NoteID
END
I know this would never work because it would always be false since I just added the same userid to the buffer that I want to add. But I think you see my problem. I know it should be an easy one but my TSQL is limited. I've posted the whole sp. Hope someone can help.
CREATE PROCEDURE spInsertAssignedNotesByList
@FK_UserIDList NVARCHAR(4000) = NULL,
@FK_NoteIDList NVARCHAR(4000) = NULL,
@By_Who INT,
@UserID INT
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @Length INT
DECLARE @Note_Length INT
DECLARE @Note_Buffer INT
DECLARE @FirstUserIDWord NVARCHAR(4000)
DECLARE @FirstNoteIDWord NVARCHAR(4000)
DECLARE @FK_UserID INT
DECLARE @FK_NoteID INT
SELECT @Length = DATALENGTH(@FK_UserIDList )
SELECT @Note_Length = DATALENGTH(@FK_NoteIDList )
DECLARE @TempFK_NoteIDList NVARCHAR(4000) --= NULL
DECLARE @Temp_NoteLength INT
SET @TempFK_NoteIDList = @FK_NoteIDList
SET @Temp_NoteLength = DATALENGTH(@FK_NoteIDList )
-- IF @Length > @Note_Length -- If we have more users than notes
BEGIN
WHILE @Length > 0
BEGIN
IF @Length > 0
EXECUTE @Length = PopFirstWord @FK_UserIDList OUTPUT, @FirstUserIDWord OUTPUT
SELECT @FK_UserID = CONVERT(INT, @FirstUserIDWord)
IF @Length > 0
BEGIN
SET @FK_NoteIDList = @TempFK_NoteIDList
SET @Note_Length = @Temp_NoteLength
WHILE @Note_Length > 0
BEGIN
EXECUTE @Note_Length = PopFirstWord @FK_NoteIDList OUTPUT, @FirstNoteIDWord OUTPUT
SELECT @FK_NoteID = CONVERT(INT, @FirstNoteIDWord)
IF @Note_Length > 0
EXECUTE spInsertAssignedNoteDetail @FK_UserID, @FK_NoteID
SET @Note_Buffer = @UserID
EXECUTE spInsertForBackupNote @FK_UserID, @FK_NoteID, @By_Who, @UserID -- NEW HERE
END
END

I have this field in a table.
NAME

Johnson, Bill P.
I need to cut it up into this in another table:
LAST_NAME FIRST_NAME MID_INIT
-----------------------------------------------------
Johnson Bill P
I can't use SUBSTRING command because the length of this field will change with every row.
Is there a way I can tell it to truncate past or prior to the comma or spaces?
Thanks!

Hello all,
I'm working on an ASP.NET with a SQL server for database. Some of the tables, for example, contain information such as different types of Fabrics (silk, cotton, etc..) . I'd like to have this table localizable (English and French for instance). Is this possible ? Is there an equivalent of resource files in SQL server ?
Or do I have to do this manually ? (have 2 separate fields in the table for those 2 locales)

The problem is solved but still I would like to know what is going on behind the scenes. I was always thinking that the native client was involved and not oledb.
Using the Export/Import wizard you still end up going via SQL Server Agent that's where the Credential/Proxy items show up.

In a previous post, someone helped me with creating stored procedures, and I am grateful because I am transitioning from the Access World.
Anyway, I get an error at .ExecuteNonQuery in visual studio 2005 when I run the following code:
Dim strsql As String Dim strconn As String strsql = "sp_Roster" strconn = "server=xxxx; user=xxxx; pwd=xxxx; database=xxxx;" With comm .Connection = New SqlConnection(strconn) .CommandText = strsql .CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure With .Parameters.Add("TeacherID", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = "DawsMark@aol.com" End With With .Parameters.Add("ClassID", SqlDbType.Int) .Value = classid End With With .Parameters.Add("sID", SqlDbType.Int) .Value = ssID End With With .Parameters.Add("sLastName", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = lastname End With With .Parameters.Add("sFirstName", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = firstname End With With .Parameters.Add("sMiddleName", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = middlename End With With .Parameters.Add("Student", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = fullname End With With .Parameters.Add("Password", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = password End With .Connection.Open() .ExecuteNonQuery() With comm.Connection If .State = ConnectionState.Open Then .Close() End If End With End With
The error was: Error converting data type char to int.
The stored procedure in sql server was as follows
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_Roster -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here@TeacherID varchar(50),@ClassID int,@sID int,@sLastName varchar(50),@sFirstName varchar(50),@sMiddleName varchar(50),@Student varchar(50),@Password varchar(50)ASBEGIN -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from -- interfering with SELECT statements. SET NOCOUNT ON; -- Insert statements for procedure here INSERT INTO Roster (TeacherID, ClassID, sID, sLastName, sFirstName, sMiddleName, Student, Password) VALUES (@TeacherID, @ClassID, @sID, @sLastName, @sFirstName, @sMiddleName, @Student, @Password)ENDGO
The error also says "sqlexception was unhandled by user code.
This is strange because this code worked perfectly when connecting to Access and when I used oledb.
So how is it the code's problem? Is the stored procedure causing the error or the code. Can someone please help. thanks.

It require me to know that what category is currently belong to certain people(people_table: category_table1 to Many)However, when i use the select statement in stored proc, it return a set of result, not a scalar , therefore, i cannot use the variable to hold it. In addition, there are no array in SQL server.Question:1. Is there any way to hold the collection of result(like array)?2. Also, how to determine to use fun or stored procedure?(Since a integer is need to return by them)Thx

My thread titles need work, I know. :o
Ok, lets say I've got:
tblDocuments
id INT PK
documentName VARCHAR
tblUsers
id INT PK
userName VARCHAR
tblDocumentApprovals
userID INT
documentID INT
approvalDate DATETIME
If I want to get a list of documents, and the users who've signed them off (if any), I'd do something like:
SELECT [tblDocuments].[documentName], [tblUsers].[userName ], [tblDocumentApprovals].[approvalDate ]
FROM [tblDocuments]
LEFT JOIN [tblDocumentApprovals] ON [tblDocumentApprovals].[documentID] = [tblDocuments.id]
INNER JOIN [tblUsers] ON [tblUsers].[id] = [tblDocumentApprovals].[userID]
...which is lovely. Except - I don't want a row returned for each user that's signed it off. I want one row for each document, with a field containing a list of the people who've signed it off.
I know that it's bad design. I was reading an article only yesterday on how they're putting this kind of thing into the latest version of Access, and how it's a bit of a kludge. But it'd really, really help me.
How do you do it?
