How can I create a master list of a particular column, in other words is there a SELECT query I can do that would bring back one of every type of? here's an example: calls table -- bring back one of every kind of call_descr thx for any help.
Hi,I need to list all the tables in northwind database.I'm using sql server 2000.In query analyser i'm in master database.I don't want to change the database to northwind.How to list all the tables in northwind database when the databasecombobox has master in query analyser.I want to run this query with database name.I won't want to run forcurrent database.Kindly help me to solve the problem.Thanks & Regards,Mani
I am struggling trying to clean some data and identify duplicate records. I used fuzzy grouping in SSIS and provided back a series of groups. The issue is some of the individual records can appear in multiple groups (so in reality the groups should be combined). This is best explained with an example:
Original Data key1 key2 647942600014 647942285437 2324662490640 2324662285437 2324662066128 2222 2285437 2222 1111111 9999 1111111 9999 2222222
I only choose 2222 as the surviving key because it was the smallest number. I really do not care which number remains as long as it is the same across.
I tried playing with self joins between the tables but have had no success.
I am using Sql Server 2008 and the number of records could 500K to 1MM.
I need help displaying information in a list on my report...
My dataset table extracts the fields, username and created date and my list is grouped by creator which puts each users info on its own page. My problem is that I cant figure out how to extract the following values:
The average number of items created per day/month/quarter/etc... (Most Important)
A sublist which displays the user's created count as follows: (Would be very greatful)
(I have figured out how to create these lists in the past using the grouping function on values, but becuase they would be counts instead of values I dont know how.)
I have a complex query where each row in the final dataset is a product. However each product has a number of authors associated with it. What I would like to do is have a query/subroutine join the authors to the product, as a string:
ProductID Title Authors 1 The Sacred and the Profane John Rieggle, George Alexi 2 Dancing in the Dark Dan Brown, Peter Kay, Paul Dwebinski
I realize this gets into business logic, but a DB based solution might be best. Possibly some pre-calculated measurement tables.
Business problem: Creating a cut list for a window covering (blinds) system. It's preferably a fast calculation I could execute while the user awaits "order confirmation and pricing". A .5 second delay per order would be acceptable.
An order can have unlimited number of line items, but typically between 1 and 20 (number of windows in a single house).
(For this problem) the raw material is man-made, and therefore is always the same length for a particular pattern/color (take 12' for this example; we stock patterns in 9', 12', or 16' but it's always the same for a given pattern/color). I need to tell the cutters how to use the rawmaterial with minimal waste. Note: The saw blade takes 1/16th inch.
For each line item; I have pre-calculated the exact cut size and number of slats. Measurements are in inches at 1/8 (.125) inch increments. The length of raw material length we stock for this pattern is an easy link.
The goal is to average less than 6 inches waste per 12' piece of raw material.
Example order:
5 line items for pattern/color FAUX/white, stocked in 12' lengths.
Line 1: 34 slats at 35.125 inches. Line 2: 36 slats at 36.875 inches. Line 3: 50 slats at 42 inches. Line 4: 55 slats at 70 inches. Line 5: 52 slats at 30 inches.
The resulting cut-list-workorder would evaluate all lines together and tell them how many 12' slats to pull and how to cut them with minimal material waste.
My question:
I'm left wondering if a database style pre-populated answer list (or some other database based solution) might be a lot faster and simpler than some chess-style complex trial-and-error array based VB algorythm (that I haven't even begun to imagine how to write). If so; how would it look?
In addition; the cutters get something like $10/hr so we can't make it too complex. I'd rather waste a little material and avoid undue confusion, but not much. With $5+ million in this material per year, excess waste can really add up. Imagine the difference between 12% and 15% waste. It's an area worth investing in.
Sorry; I know it's not a simple question. Someone might find it interesting enough to solve, or at least provide hope for a DB solution. At present; I just can't imagine it.
I have the following tables in an SQL Server database.
Contact ======= NameID TitleID Name
JobTitle ======== TitleID Title
I'm trying to make a form to add entries to the Contact table that lets me associate a job title to a name by choosing it from a drop down list. I have been able to make it so I get a drop down list of TitleID but I need the Title field displayed. I haven't been able to do it. Does anyone have any tips on how to do this?
I have a fairly complex report that was given to me that was hard coded for single parameters. There is a dropdown for each market (created from a query in SSRS). The users have to run for each market each week.
Is there a way to use this report as a Sub-report inside a list of a master report and then use a mult-value parameter?
I want this multi-value parameter to build the values for the list and then run the "sub-report" for each value.
I'm looking for a way to list the target servers associated with a master server. The reason is that we're moving to another master server, and I'd prefer not to move the targets manually.
I've got most of the T-SQL already (sp_msx_enlist, sp_add_jobserver), but I'd like a scripted solution instead of a wizard.
I am trying to find a way to add into a table a flattened (comma seperated list) of email addresses based on the multiple columns of nformation in another table (joined by customer_full_name and postcode.
This is to highlight duplicate email addresses for people under the same customer_full_name and Postcode.
I have done this using a loop which loops through concatenating the email addresses but it takes 1minute to do 1000. The table is 19,000 so this isn't really acceptable. I have tried temp tables, table variables and none of this seems to make any difference. I think that it is becuase i am joining on text columns?
Step 1. First I am filtering the Sales Order information and inserting it in my Sales Orders table. Step 2.Then I am filtering the details from the sales Order and inserting them in the respective table.
My Problem is that the Sales Order File does not contain the Sales Order key (ID), this is generated by the SQL Server. How can get it in order to use it in the second step? I need it because it is a foreign key in the details table.
So at the moment, I don't have a function by the name CONCATENATE. What I like to do is to list all those different values that go with a single CASE_ID to appear as a a comma separate list. You might have a better way of doing without even writing a function
I know I can do a JOIN(parameter, "some seperator") and it will build me a list/string of all the values in the multiselect parameter.
However, I want to do the same thing with all the occurances of a field in my result set (each row being an occurance).
For example say I have a form that is being printed which will pull in all the medications a patient is currently listed as having perscriptions for. I want to return all those values (say 8) and display them on a single line (or wrap onto additional lines as needed).
Something like: List of current perscriptions: Allegra, Allegra-D, Clariton, Nasalcort, Sudafed, Zantac
How can I accomplish this?
I was playing with the list box, but that only lets me repeat on a new line, I couldn't find any way to get it to repeate side by side (repeat left to right instead of top to bottom). I played with the orientation options, but that really just lets me adjust how multiple columns are displayed as best I can tell.
Could a custom function of some sort be written to take all the values and spit them out one by one into a comma seperated string?
I'm new to SQL and need help with a query. Not sure if this is the right place.
I have 2 tables, one MASTER and one DETAIL.
The MASTER table has a masterID, name and the DETAIL table has a detailID, masterID, and value columns.
I want to return a populated MASTER table with entries based on the DETAIL.value.
SELECT MASTER.* FROM MASTER WHERE DETAIL.value > 3
This is a simplified version of my problem. I can't figure out how to set the relationship between MASTER.masterID and DETAIL.masterID. If I do an INNER JOIN, the number of results are based on the number of DETAIL entries. I only want one entry per MASTER entry.
Ok, I want to write a stored procedure / query that says the following: Code: If any of the items in list 'A' also appear in list 'B' --return false If none of the items in list 'A' appear in list 'B' --return true
In pseudo-SQL, I want to write a clause like this
Code:
IF (SELECT values FROM tableA) IN(SELECT values FROM tableB) Return False ELSE Return True
Unfortunately, it seems I can't do that unless my subquery before the 'IN' statement returns only one value. Needless to say, it returns a number of values.
I may have to achieve this with some kind of logical loop but I don't know how to do that.
I have a select list of fields that I need to select to get the results I need, however, I would like to insert only a chosen few of these fields into a table. I am getting the error, "The select list for the INSERT statement contains more items than the insert list. The number of SELECT values must match the number of INSERT columns." How can I do this?

I have a a table that holds a list of words, I am trying to add to the list, however I only want to add new words. But I wish to return from my proc the list of words with ID, whether it is new or old.
Here's a script. the creates the table,indexes, function and the storeproc. call the proc like procStoreAndUpdateTokenList 'word1,word2,word3'
My table is now 500000 rows and growing and I am inserting on average 300 words, some new some old.
performance is a not that great so I'm thinking that my code can be improved.

Hi, I have set of 2 DTS packages, one of which calls the other by forming a command-line (dtexec) using a Execute Process task.
From the parent package-> Execute Process Task-> dtsexec /F etc... /<pkg variable> = "servername"
Each of the parent and the called package have a variable: "User::DWServerSQLInstance" which is mapped to the SQL server connection manager server name property using an expression. The outer package has the above variable and so does the inner called package (which gets assigned through the command line from the outerpackage call to inner)
I "sometimes" get the following error:
OnError,I4,TESTDOMAdministrator,ACDWAggregation,{A1F8E43F-15F1-4685-8C18-6866AB31E62B},{77B2F3C7-6756-46EB-8C01-D880598FB4B3},5/22/2006 5:10:28 PM,5/22/2006 5:10:28 PM,-1073659822,0x,The variable "User::DWServerSQLInstance" is already on the read list. A variable may only be added once to either the read lock list or the write lock list.
Help would be appreciated!
I have seen other posts on this but, not able to relate the solution to my scenario.
We already integrated different client data to MDS with MS Excel plugin, now we want to push back updated or new added record to source database. is it possible do using MDS? Do we have any background sync process to which automatically sync data to and from subscriber and MDS?
Package works fine when run from BIDS, DTExec, dtexecui. When I schedule it, It get these random errors. (See below)
The main culprit is a variable called "RecordsetFileDIR" which is set using an expression. (@[User::_ROOT] + "RecordSets\")
A number of other variables use this as part of their expression and as they all fail, pretty much everything dies.
I have installed SP1 (Not Beta) on server. Package uses config files to set the value of _ROOT.
The error does not always seem to be with this particular variable though. Always a variable that uses an expression but errors are random. Also, It will run 3 out of 10 times without a problem. I am the only person on the server at the time.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Crispin

Hi All, We will be transfering a big application onto another server. Is it possible to copy the Syslogins with passwords onto the new server from the old one it resides. I do not want to restore Master onto the new server because the Server name will be different.
does it need the USE MASTER before the line? a database MUST be created using Master??
i ask this because in an example i need to create a database, so i use the next code:
CREATE DATABASE Banco ON (NAME='P_Banco',FILENAME='C:Documents and SettingsVictorEscritorioBancoP_Banco.mdf') LOG ON (NAME='P_Banco_Log',FILENAME='C:Documents and SettingsVictorEscritorioBancoP_Banco_Log.ldf')
USE Banco <-- i wrote this, because i tought i could create tables and stuff directly in my previously declared database, but it sends this error:
"Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'Banco'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly."
anyway, i could do it, but first creating the database, and after that, in a separate code creating the tables with USE Banco, but my question is..why is that? or i miss something in my sql code??
Hi Y'all, What are the advantages of placing stored procedures in the master database? Can i always use all the database-names on the instance? Thanks!
