i realize this is a basic question, but i'd like advise on the best way to create a table to store financial time series data. i already have a table to store securityid which is the primary key. However, when i move over to the table to store time series, i will have many secid as well as different dates and types of data. what should my primary key-autonumbered or concatenated from secid and date etc...in addition, i want to have a good way to query the table to make sure there are no dupes (same secid and same data etc). many thanks
Hi, I'm trying to build a several tables using sql ce 3.1 I refer to the manual on Create Table: ms-help://MS.SSCE.v31.EN/ssmprog3/html/143cad25-5c1d-4c96-bd8b-6a95dbfb1b00.htm
The sample: CREATE TABLE MyCustomers (CustID int IDENTITY (100,1) PRIMARY KEY, CompanyName nvarchar (50))
Error Source: SQL Server Compact Edition ADO.Net Data Provider Error Message: There was an error parsing the query. [Token line number =1, Token line offset 40, Token in error=IDENTITY]
I tested against a SQL Desktop, everything is OK. What's wrong with the sentence? Please some advise or workaround will be appreciated Thanks MSCD Fernando Zorrilla de San MartÃn
I am new to SQL 2005 and Reports. How can I create an automated weekly report for a database to show Disk usage and top 10 tables. I am after to something similar to the Summary report in SQL 2005. Advantage would be to have it email as well.
I'm getting this error when I try to use "inserted" table in my create trigger call.
--------------------------- Microsoft Development Environment --------------------------- ADO error: The column prefix 'inserted' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query.
--------------------------- OK Help ---------------------------
I have a search form in an ASP.NET/VB page. The form has the input text box and the button "search". The keywords are passed in the URL to results.aspx.
Here is an example of what I get in the URL, when I write the keywords "asp", "book" and "london" in the input text box and click "search": results.aspx?search=asp%20book%20london
The database table has 3 fields: "id", "title" and "description".
I want to display all the records where at least one of the keywords is found in any of the 2 fields "title" and "description".
1. I suppose I need to get the words out of the URL to be used by SQL. Maybe: string[] searchString = request.queryString("search").split('search'); ??? How can i make this run when page loads? I supose i need it. Right?
2. How should the SQL look? I supose i need to use the "Like" command SELECT * FROM books WHERE title LIKE ... But how to I use it if I can have 1, 2, 3, ... keywords?
I'm getting this error when I try to use "inserted" table in my create trigger call.

I have just one table but need to create a trigger that takes place after an update on the Orders table. I need it to multiply two columns and populate the 3rd column (total cost) with the result as so:
I use SQL code snippet to attach the CLR assembly (dll) to the SQL Server Express
CREATE ASSEMBLY [DatabaseAndImages] AUTHORIZATION [dbo] FROM 'C:CLR_File.dll' WITH PERMISSION_SET = SAFE
That file content CRL Codes for 10 Stored Procedures & 3 UDT & 5 Functions & 6 Triggers As you can see it's content large amount of DB objects !!
My Question is .. Is there any simple way can I use it to extract or automatic create all that Objects in the Database without use separate SQL Statement for each one ??
By Example , I will use this SQL statement to create the sp_AddImage that already located inside the CLR dll file
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_AddImage] @ImageID [uniqueidentifier], @ImageFileName [nvarchar](max), @Image [varbinary](max) WITH EXECUTE AS CALLER AS EXTERNAL NAME [DatabaseAndImages].[StoredProcedures].[sp_AddImage]
But as you know .. I have many objects .. and I am in development phase and I will do change to that object many time and also may I will add much more €¦
I thing it's not good to write SQL Statement for each object and do changes every time when I change the object definition
Is there any one line of SQL statement can I use it to automatically create and extract all the objects inside the assembly ?? Or is there any way to do that Issue by simple operation ??
I want to combine two of my fields somewhat like when you combine to char fields and concatenate them. But these two fields are int. How do i do that? Here's my query right now:
Code Block SELECT AutoID, CONVERT(Varchar(Mars_Calender_Year )+ CONVERT(Varchar(Mars_Calender_Period_Code) as MarsId FROM NavisionReplication.dbo.Tbl_Mars_Calender ORDER BY Mars_Calender_Year DESC
I have a text file which needs to be created into a table (let's call it DataFile table). For now I'm just doing the manual DTS to import the txt into SQL server to create the table, which works. But here's my problem....
I need to extract data from DataFile table, here's my query:
select * from dbo.DataFile where DF_SC_Case_Nbr not like '0000%';
Then I need to create a new table for the extracted data, let's call it ExtractedDataFile. But I don't know how to create a new table and insert the data I selected above into the new one.
Also, can the extraction and the creation of new table be done in just one stored procedure? or is there any other way of doing all this (including the importation of the text file)?
I'm trying to create a proc for granting permission for developer, but I tried many times, still couldn't get successful, someone can help me? The original statement is:
Can I dynamically (from a stored procedure) generatea create table script of all tables in a given database (with defaults etc)a create view script of all viewsa create function script of all functionsa create index script of all indexes.(The result will be 4 scripts)Arno de Jong,The Netherlands.
I have some code that dynamically creates a database (name is @FullName) andthen creates a table within that database. Is it possible to wrap thesethings into a transaction such that if any one of the following fails, thedatabase "creation" is rolledback. Otherwise, I would try deleting on errordetection, but it could get messy.IF @Error = 0BEGINSET @ExecString = 'CREATE DATABASE ' + @FullNameEXEC sp_executesql @ExecStringSET @Error = @@ErrorENDIF @Error = 0BEGINSET @ExecString = 'CREATE TABLE ' + @FullName + '.[dbo].[Image] ( [ID][int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL, [Blob] [image] NULL , [DateAdded] [datetime]NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]'EXEC sp_executesql @ExecStringSET @Error = @@ErrorENDIF @Error = 0BEGINSET @ExecString = 'ALTER TABLE ' + @FullName + '.[dbo].[Image] WITHNOCHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [PK_Image] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [ID] ) ON[PRIMARY]'EXEC sp_executesql @ExecStringSET @Error = @@ErrorEND
For reasons that are not relevant (though I explain them below *), Iwant, for all my users whatever privelige level, an SP which createsand inserts into a temporary table and then another SP which reads anddrops the same temporary table.My users are not able to create dbo tables (eg dbo.tblTest), but arepermitted to create tables under their own user (eg MyUser.tblTest). Ihave found that I can achieve my aim by using code like this . . .SET @SQL = 'CREATE TABLE ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstIDDATETIME)'EXEC (@SQL)SET @SQL = 'INSERT INTO ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())'EXEC (@SQL)This becomes exceptionally cumbersome for the complex INSERT & SELECTcode. I'm looking for a simpler way.Simplified down, I am looking for something like this . . .CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestInsert ASCREATE TABLE tblTest(tstID DATETIME)INSERT INTO tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())GOCREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestSelect ASSELECT * FROM tblTestDROP TABLE tblTestIn the above example, if the SPs are owned by dbo (as above), CREATETABLE & DROP TABLE use MyUser.tblTest while INSERT & SELECT usedbo.tblTest.If the SPs are owned by the user (eg MyUser.TestInsert), it workscorrectly (MyUser.tblTest is used throughout) but I would have to havea pair of SPs for each user.* I have MS Access ADP front end linked to a SQL Server database. Forreports with complex datasets, it times out. Therefore it suit mypurposes to create a temporary table first and then to open the reportbased on that temporary table.
I am adding this to my c#.Net app...How can I sort all rows in a table?After it is sorted, will it remain so after i do a cnSQL.Close();so that when I then do a:string strSQL = "SELECT InvoiceNumber " +"FROM tblPrintInvoice " ;Is it still sorted for me to do a:drSQL.Read?Thanks,Trint
I have a problem with getting SSRS to do exactly what I want it to do. My report is fairly simple in that it is a header a detail row and a footer for totals. I have an Oracle stored procedure pass the table of information to SSRS and no matter how I pass the information I cannot get SSRS to do what I want it to do. Heres the problem.
Lets say I have 3 pieces of information. The customers name, customers SSN, and their Institution. For every customer the name and SSN will stay the same but each customer can belong to multiple institutions. So, I wanted to have a basic table display their name, their SSN and their Institution on one row and if they belong to more than 1 institution the following institutions will be displayed on the following rows.
I've tried grouping by SSN but that just only displays the SSN once and only the first institution in that group and ignores showing the other institutions. I've also tried grouping the SSN and name in the group header and then played around with putting the Institutions in the details but I cant get that first Institution to appear on the first row with the Name and SSN.
I'm at a loss here and this seems like it should be a simple solution but I cant figure it out. I'm know there must be a way because this is a really basic fundamental that I'm trying to accomplish and is probably used in many reports.
T1 is a table of data imported by DTS, it has staff numbers and location names
T2 is a table that contains system data about staff and has a column for the location id
T3 is a table for the location names and their ID's
i am trying to write the sql to update T2 with the new location IDs for staff that have moved location but am not getting what i need.
so far i have : update T2 set T2.LocationId =T3.LocationID from T3 inner join T1 on T3.departmentname = T1.contact_location
the update runs but sets all rows to the same value. am now burried deep in the [I've stared at this too long and cant see the wood for the trees] stage :mad:
greets all, ive got a table with batches of records. each group of records has a batch id as part of the PK in the form BTCXXXX where XXXX is an auto-incremented number. so lets say i have 100 batches of 20k records per batch in the table. so the distinct batch ids are BTC0200 (oldest batch) through BTC0300 (newest batch). i only want to keep the 90 most recent batches in the table at any given time. is it ok to just subtract 90 from the last batch id and do something like:
DECLARE @batch_id char(10) SET @batch_id = 'BTC' + batch_num-90
DELETE FROM ITEM_BATCH WHERE BATCH_ID < @batch_id
i want to cover if the table has more than 90 batches and if the table has less then 90 batches. is this a feasible approach?
I am trying to build a simple time table and pre-populate the rows for lets say 1 year. Basically, I will be extracting the data froma source based on the boundaries of this table. eg of this table as I can visualize:
Lets call this TimeTable and we have our souce and destination table..The ETL process will pick the start time and endtime, will pass these as parameters to the source and extract the data as follows:
Insert into Destination select * from source where entrydate>=TimeTable.StartTime and entrydate<TimeTable.EndTime
Once this data gets loaded, the IsProcessed field is set to 1 so that next time it won't be considered.I am trying an incremental load process here.
I have a database with three tablestbl_listings - listings of houses on for saletbl_intersted - table which tracks if a user is interested in thelisting, it has two columns mls(the key for tbl_listings) and user(userlogin)tbl_review - table which trackes if a user has reviewed the listing.Like tbl_interested it has two columns (the key for tbl_listings) anduser(user login)How can I create a query on tbl_listings for reocords reviewed by oneuser?I am trying to create a query for listings that are revied by useruserid. I am using the query below. It works fine unless there is arecord in tbl_interested for a differnt user.In reality I am calling this query from the web. On the website I havean intersted dropdown with the choices All, interested, not interested.The website also has a reviewed dropdown with all, reviewed and notreviewed.I am using the query below as a starting point. my query works finewith one user, but if a user2 enters a record in tbl_intersted itthrows off the left join for user1. How can I fix this?SELECT COUNT(B.reviewed) AS review_count,Count(B.mls) as mls_count,A.mls,FROM mls.tbl_listings ALEFT OUTER JOIN mls.tbl_review B ON A.mls = B.mlsLEFT OUTER JOIN mls.tbl_interested D ON A.mls = D.mlswhere (B.reviewed = 'userid') and ((D.interested is null) or(D.interested = 'userid'))----My query works fine if there is one user, however once user2 reviews arecord from tbl_listing user1
Hi,Is there a way to hide the system tables created in each SQL serverdatabase (ie. dtproperties, sysindexes). It's not a big deal, but I'dlike to see only the tables I create.
...but apparently not me, I'm very new with this T-SQL stuff and am seeking the advice of the seasoned pros at this forum.
Description on my SQL-5 Environment:
Table I Sales: Prod_ID, Prod_DT, Sales_DT, Buyer_Name, Buyer_State
Table II Repairs: Prod_ID, Prod_DT, Sales_DT, Repair_DT
These 2 tables are joined by the common key Prod_ID & also and share the product's production & sales dates. What I would like to do is produce a rate summary similar to description below.
Important to remember that not all products experience repairs, so the basis for Sales_CNT needs to be the Sales Table, even thou Prod_DT also appears in Repairs Table.
It's simple enough for novice like me to produce 2 tables independently and then merge back those resulting tables into the single table output described above. But my question is how do I write a single SQL "SELECT" request that will produce the results into just a single table.
Hi Minor and inconsequential but sometimes you just gotta know: Is it possible to define a non-primary key index within a Create Table statement? I can create a constraint and a PK. I can create the table and then add the index. I just wondered if you can do it in one statement. e.g. I have: CREATE TABLE MyT (MyT_ID INT Identity(1, 1) CONSTRAINT MyT_PK PRIMARY KEY Clustered, MyT_Desc Char(40) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT MyT_idx1 UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED ON [DEFAULT])which creates a table with a PK and unique constraint. I would like (pseudo SQL):CREATE TABLE MyT (MyT_ID INT Identity(1, 1) CONSTRAINT MyT_PK PRIMARY KEY Clustered, MyT_Desc Char(40) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT MyT_idx1 UNIQUE INDEX NONCLUSTERED ON [DEFAULT]) No big deal - just curious :D Once I know I can stop scouring BOL for clues. Tks in advance
Hi Guys,I have the following query: SELECT DecisionSessionID, RuleID, Operator1, Criteria1, AttributeForCriteria1, Operator2, Criteria2, AttributeForCriteria2, Operator3, Criteria3, AttributeForCriteria3, Result FROM myTable WHERE (SessionID = @SessionID) Now I want that instead of the complicated Criteria1, Crieria 2 and Criteria 3 values the users sees the names whichare defined in myCriteria. I though the query might then look like this SELECT DecisionSessionID, RuleID, Operator1, Criteria1 (SELECT CriteriaName FROM myCriteria WHERE Criteria1 = CriteriaID), AttributeForCriteria1, Operator2, Criteria2 (SELECT CriteriaName FROM myCriteria WHERE Criteria2 = CriteriaID). AttributeForCriteria2, Operator3, Criteria3 (SELECT CriteriaName FROM myCriteria WHERE Criteria3 = CriteriaID), AttributeForCriteria3, Result FROM dbo.aspnet_FuzzyRules WHERE (DecisionSessionID = @DecisionSessionID) I am not very familiar with the sql syntax and as you can imagine the above psyeudo version is not really working.Do you know how the correct syntax for such a nested query would look like?many thanks,polynaux
I am trying to write a simple search page that will search all the fields in a database to find all records that match a user input string. The string could happen anywhere in any of the fields. I have a dataset and can write a query but am unsure what the format is for this simple task. I figured it would look like this:
SELECT Table.* FROM Table WHERE * = @USERINPUT But thats not working. Can someone help.? Thanks..
I suspect I have a but in a stored procedure that is used to delete records in a table. Here's the code for the gridview and its SQLDataSource 1 <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" 2 DataKeyNames="table2_id" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"> 3 <Columns> 4 <asp:CommandField ShowDeleteButton="True" ShowSelectButton="True" /> 5 <asp:BoundField DataField="table2_id" HeaderText="table2_id" 6 InsertVisible="False" ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="table2_id" /> 7 <asp:BoundField DataField="table1_id" HeaderText="table1_id" 8 SortExpression="table1_id" /> 9 <asp:BoundField DataField="name_2" HeaderText="name_2" 10 SortExpression="name_2" /> 11 <asp:CheckBoxField DataField="yesno" HeaderText="yesno" 12 SortExpression="yesno" /> 13 <asp:BoundField DataField="MyArtificialColumn" HeaderText="MyArtificialColumn" 14 ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="MyArtificialColumn" /> 15 </Columns> 16 </asp:GridView> 17 <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" 18 ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:DatabaseConnectionString %>" 19 DeleteCommand="EraseIt" DeleteCommandType="StoredProcedure" 20 SelectCommand="StoredProcedure5" SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure"> 21 </asp:SqlDataSource> Recently, "Wreck of u" kindly provided me with the stored procedure "StoredProcedure5" (line 20) which populates the gridview as shown. What I would like to now is write a stored procedure that DELETES a row. As like 19 shows, I attempted to write such an SP called EraseIt. However, when I click on Delete in the browser for a row, I get the error message "Procedure EraseIt has no parameters and arguments were supplied. The following is the code for EraseIt. Do I in fact have an error with specifying the input parameter "@table2_id", and or am I doing something else wrong? 1 ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[EraseIt] 2 AS 3 DECLARE @TABLE2_ID int 4 BEGIN 5 DELETE FROM DBO.TABLE2 WHERE TABLE2_ID = @TABLE2_ID 6 END 7 Thanks!-Kurt

I want my query to list all SSNS that have more than one record in the table. I have this query:
Code:
SELECT SSN, name4, count(*) from [1099_PER] group by SSN, name4 having count(SSN) > 1
It does retrieve the right SSNS and tells me how many times the SSN occurs in the table. However, I want my query results to display their full records.
For example
SSN NAME4 COUNT 123445555 WALTER - 4
I want the query to show me all four records for this SSN. I thought removing the count field would do this, but it still gives me only one instance of each SSN.
We are seeing memory issues with a simple C# based TVF that splits an input string into a table based a delimiter. Entries such as the following show up in the SQL log:
AppDomain 8 (DBName.dbo[runtime].7) is marked for unload due to memory pressure. AppDomain 8 (DBName.dbo[runtime].7) unloaded.
These entries only show up after the TVF has been called many times (~ half million times or more).
We encountered the same memory issues with June CTP, but they appeared to be fixed in Sepetmber CTP. Somehow the issues come back for us in the SQL Server 2005 RTM version. With June CTP after these errors show up many many times, the SQL server had to be re-started.
I'd appreciate any comments/ideas regarding these error messages in the SQL log?
