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.
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

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.
Hi All,I am new this week to sql*server / query analyzer, coming from yearsof an oracle / TOAD background. Does anyone have any tools theyprefer for writing and executing sql code other than query analyzer?Thanks!Mike
I am trying to pickup the most recent record by Product and Supplier. eg.
Rec Prod Supp Date 1 1000 WES01 Jan 1/2005 2 1000 WES01 Apr 8/2005 3 1001 WES01 Apr 8/2005 4 1001 NAN04 Feb 15/2005 The Result I want is as follows:
Rec Prod Supp Date 2 1000 WES01 Apr 8/2005 3 1001 WES01 Apr 8/2005 4 1001 NAN04 Feb 15/2005 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,
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?
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
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
Hey all,I have a datagrid with populated by this query: SELECT TABLE_NAME, TABLE_TYPE FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE (TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE')I have paging, sorting and selection enabled.Now I am looking for a way to use a wild card as a placeholder for the table name in my select statements so I can use the valued selected from the datagrid.Example : SELECT * FROM %TABLENAME%TIAWOOHOO! my first post.
i got this stored procedure. i tried to modify it and now its giving me this scaler error.
Msg 137, Level 15, State 2, Procedure insertuser, Line 4 Must declare the scalar variable "@seller_id".
USE [DBCars] GO /****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[insertuser] Script Date: 05/23/2008 20:44:37 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO ALTER procedure [dbo].[insertuser] (@Make nchar(10),@Model nchar(10),@City nchar(10),@SellerID varchar(50),@MileAge nchar(10),@Year_Model int) as insert into tbcar values(@make,@model,@city,@seller_id,@mileage,@year_model);
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.
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)
I have a DTS Package that I am running from a command line via .bat file. Does anyone know if there is a command to have the command window minimized or running in the background? I used the /Rep N command but that still leaves the window open until the package has executed.
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. <Edited by Dinakar Nethi> Please mask your useird/pwd info in the connection string when posting to a public forum like this </Edit>
I would like to write a fun or stored procedure to do some operation. 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
Every morning our sql server runs very slowly which means our log on page times out on a simple query. If we stop and start the sql server everything runs fine for the rest of the day until the follwing morning. the server is not used out of business hours excpet for a few very small and simple jobs to delete records, These all run to completion. Any help with this would be much aprreciated! Thanks. Rob
Hi .. i am SqL beginner. i having trouble output what i want from table. table contain 3 columns ________________________________ |(names)|(item)|(location)| 1.| Jimmy | pizza| TX | 2.| Joe | ball | CA | 3.| Joe | ball | WA | 4.| Jim | shoes| AZ | ________________________________
i try to select all records out from this table. but column 2 and 3 contain same information in names and item only different is location. how can distinct one of them?? and display like the below, please advise.
|(names)|(item)| 1.| Jimmy | pizza| 2.| Joe | ball | 3.| Jim | shoes| ________________________________
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.
Hi, I have seen many examples at MSDN library related to SQL Querries in all queries one thing is same the way they use tables in there queries. BUT wht is this really i am not getting this, can anyone tell me.. the code and the problem is as follows:
Code Snippet FROM Purchasing.ProductVendor JOIN Purchasing.Vendor ON (ProductVendor.VendorID = Vendor.VendorID)In the above code u see "Purchasing.ProductVendor", I want to ask that wht is this Purchasing Stands for, If we suppose that purxchasing is the database name then also normally we use database name as Purchasing.dbo.ProductVendor BUT I am not getting that what is this, Please if someone knows then explain it to me, Thanks.
