Creating A New Column By Shifting A Timestamp At Least 5 Seconds Later

Apr 8, 2008

I have a table that looks like this:

[Timestamp] [P]
2008-04-06 17:30:00 119
2008-04-06 17:30:03 120
2008-04-06 17:30:07 119
2008-04-06 17:30:11 118
2008-04-06 17:30:12 129
2008-04-06 17:30:13 125

What I'm after is to create a new [dtP] column where the [dtP] is the [P] value at least 5 seconds later. I would assume I should use the dateadd() function but I've tried [Timestamp] = dateadd(ss,5,[Timestamp]) in my WHERE clause and to no avail. Any suggestions on the best way to proceed?

Desired Result:

[Timestamp] [P] [dtP]
2008-04-06 17:30:00 119 120
2008-04-06 17:30:03 120 121
2008-04-06 17:30:07 121 122
2008-04-06 17:30:11 122 125
2008-04-06 17:30:12 128 125
2008-04-06 17:30:13 129 etc...
2008-04-06 17:30:14 125

Creating Instance Of SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application Takes 30 Seconds

Jan 9, 2008



Hi guys, need help again.

I'm running packages from C# code and thus I need to create an instance of SqlServer.DTS.Runtime.Application.
In my maching, creating the application instance doesn't even take 1 sec but when the application was deployed to our QA server creating the instance took 30 secs (always ... every single time with no exception).

this single code is taking the 30 secs:

Application integrationService = New Application();

Does anyone have any idea what I need to check or configure to make this faster?

Get Row Timestamp With No Timestamp Column

Jul 10, 2007

For starters, please feel free to move this if it is in the wrong forum.



The issue I have is this. I have been asked to delete all information from a table that was inserted before May 12 this year. The issue is that when the DB was created, whoever designedd it neglected to add a timestamp column for the user data table (the one I need to purge). Does SQL, by default, happen to store insert times? Would it be something that might hide ina log file somewhere?

Add An Hour To A Timestamp Column

Mar 27, 2008

I have a table with a [Timestamp] field which is a datetime data type. What I need to do is add one hour to the timestamp.
Each entry in the [Timestamp] field looks like this: 2008-03-09 16:44:06.313

What is the best way to do this?

(Should I be using UPDATE [Tablename] or Alter Table [Tablename])

SQLException On Insert - TimeStamp Column

Nov 4, 2003

ASP.NET application, MS SQL DB, and a table with a timestamp(8) column.

Error:
Cannot insert a non-null value into a timestamp column. Use INSERT with a column list or with a default of NULL for the timestamp column.

I'm using an SQLDataAdapter and typed DataSet, inserting a row into the dataset, and calling Update() to send changes to the DB.

The thing that baffles me about receiving this error, is that the DB column can be null and I get this error wheter I attempt to insert NULL or a valid byte array into the column.

(No - I am not trying to insert a datetime into the column.)

The error just doesn't seem too descriptive of the problem I'm having, and I'm quite confused.

All help greatly appreciated!

SQL 2012 :: NCI On Row Version / Timestamp Column

Mar 18, 2014

I have a question regarding the rowversion / timestamp column. I want to use it to track changes in some tables and I created a non clustered index on the timestamp column (with three includes) to get a better performance while searching / gathering the data. It works very well, but I experienced a big performance hit on the inserts and my first thoughts are that it has something to do with this index.

I know that this NCI has to be updated with every insert and so this could have an impact on performance, but we have a lot of other indexes as well, which are also get updated with every insert. Why this index / column has such a big impact? Our application use a lot of dynamic cursors, maybe it has something to do with that?

What I'm missing is a way to insert the current timestamp every time I insert to the table.My plan is to use the insert into command.

How Can I Maintain Timestamp Column In Replication Environment

May 27, 2008

Hi Friends



I have transactional replication,
The publisher DB contains table call Courser with timestamp column, this column values are unique for the publisher DB

The subscriber DB also contains same copy of data in publisher DB Course table, but the timestamp column values are different.

So my problem is how can I keep this two tables (Course) identically, (same timestamp column vales in both table)

NOTE: Publisher and Subscriber DB reside under two different SQL server instance

Thanks and regards

SSDT Tries To Alter Timestamp Column In TFS Build

Apr 21, 2015

We're trying to perform an upgrade test against a copy (backup/restore) of our customer database as target. There are some tables with  timestamp column in the database. The way we do this is by having a database project with a publish profile targeting that copy of customer database and then with TFS build server is used to build the database but only to generate a publish script (/p:UpdateDatabase=False) set in the build definition - msbuild argument.

Example of table definition:

CREATE TABLE dbo.CodeTable1
(ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
,Code CHAR(6)
,[Timestamp] TIMESTAMP NULL);

We would like to have the "Code" column to have CHAR(7), so in the project we modify the table definition:

CREATE TABLE dbo.CodeTable1
(ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
,Code CHAR(7)
,[Timestamp] TIMESTAMP NULL);

Expecting SSDT build will generate alter script:

ALTER TABLE dbo.CodeTable1 ALTER COLUMN Code CHAR(7);

To our surprise the generated script was:

ALTER TABLE dbo.CodeTable1 ALTER COLUMN Code CHAR(7);
ALTER TABLE dbo.CodeTable1 ALTER COLUMN [Timestamp] TIMESTAMP NULL;

Which will cause error when the script is executed: "Cannot alter column 'TIMESTAMP' to be data type timestamp."

Why is SSDT generating the change script for that timestamp column??

We then try a local build in VS, the issue is not happening, SSDT correctly generates alter script only for the "Code" column to CHAR(7);

Both local machine and TFS Build server are having VS 2013 Update 4- SSDT 12.0.50318.0 installed.

As we tried to troubleshoot further, we found out that it seems it only happens on a restored database from a backup copy of our customer database. It doesn't happen for databases created by SSDT build from scratch or that we manually created. We've tried make sure all database properties are the same as the database that correctly built.

But still if the target database is the one we restored from a customer's copy, SSDT always tries to alter timestamp column (on server build).

Passing A Timestamp Datatype Column To A Variable And Back

Aug 10, 2006

After several hours of trying, I trow the towel in the ring and come here to ask a question.

Source system uses a timestamp column in the transaction tables. which is equal to a non-nullable binary(8) datatype (sql 2000 bol).

What I want to do is get the timestamp at the start of the transfer and at the end of the transfer of data. and store these in a controltable

I try to do this in 2 sql execute tasks:

sqltask 1: "select @@DBTS AS SourceTimestamp" and map the resultset to a variable. Here come's the first problem what variable type to take ?

DBNULL works (meaning it doesn't give errors) (BTW: is there a way to put a variable as a watch when debugging sql tasks ?)

INT64 and UINT64 don't work error message that types for column and parameter are different

STRING works

Then I want to store this variable back in a table of a different data source

sqltask2: "insert into controltable values(getdate(), ?)" and make an input parameter that takes the previous timestamp ...

if I took DBNULL as a type for the variable there doesn't seem to be a single parameter type that works ???

if i take STRING as a type for the variable I have to modify the sql to do the explicit conversion from string to binary so I change CAST(? as binary). It doesn't return any error but the value stored in the table is 0x00000000000 and not the actual timestamp.



Any help on this one ? Why are the INT64/Bigint not working here, you can perfectly do a convert(bigint, timestampfield) in sql ?

How came the SQL datatypes, and the variable datatypes, parameter datatypes are so badly alligned to each other (and all seem to use different names) ?

tx for any help

Error While Converting Oracle Timestamp To Sql Server Timestamp (datetime) - Invalid Date Format

I don't know if my code is right . Please inform, how i can achieve this.

Problem Returning A Timestamp Column Inside An TSQL Transaction

Jan 15, 2007

I cannot manage to fetch the new timestamp value inside a TSQL Transaction.  I have tried to Select "@LastChanged" before committing the transaction and after committing the transaction. A TimestampCheck variable is used to get the timestamp value of the Custom Business Object. It is checked against the row updating to see if they match.  If they do, the Update begins as a Transaction.  I send @LastChanged (timestamp) and an InputOutput param, But I also have the same problem sending in a dedicated timestamp param ("@NewLastChanged"):  1 select @TimestampCheck = LastChanged from ADD_Address where AddressId=@AddressId
2
3 if @TimestampCheck is null
4 begin
5 RAISERROR ('AddressId does not exist in ADD_Address: E002', 16, 1) -- AddressId does not exist.
6 return -1
7 end
8 else if @TimestampCheck <> @LastChanged
9 begin
10 RAISERROR ('Timestamps do not match up, the record has been changed: E003', 16, 1)
11 return -1
12 end
13
14
15 Begin Tran Address
16
17 Update ADD_Address
18 set StreetNumber= @StreetNumber, AddressLine1=@AddressLine1, StreetTypeId=@StreetTypeId, AddressLine2=@AddressLine2, AddressLine3=@AddressLine3, CityId=@CityId, StateProvidenceId=@StateProvidenceId, ZipCode=@ZipCode, CreateId=@CreateId, CreateDate=@CreateDate
19 where AddressId= @AddressId
20
21 select @error_code = @@ERROR, @AddressId= scope_identity()
22
23 if @error_code = 0
24 begin
25 commit tran Address
26
27 select @LastChanged = LastChanged
28 from ADD_Address
29 where AddressId = @AddressId
30
31 if @LastChanged is null
32 begin
33 RAISERROR ('LastChanged has returned null in ADD_Address: E004', 16, 1)
34 return -1
35 end
36 if @LastChanged = @TimestampCheck
37 begin
38 RAISERROR ('LastChanged original value has not changed in ADD_Address: E005', 16, 1)
39 return -1
40 end
41 return 0I do not have this problem if I do not use a TSQL Transaction. Is there a way to capture the new timestamp inside a Transaction, or have I missed something?Thank you,jspurlin

Data Shifting Between Records

Mar 23, 2008

Is there a problem with stability when one uses too many text (memo) fields?I'm having a problem with data from one record occasionally ending up inanother record, though apparently not through any user interaction.I'm using SQL 7 and accessing the tables through the ODBC driver. There aretwo tables with a one-to-one relationship -- TableA and TableB. TableB isthe one that's having this occasional problem. TableB has about 30 textfields out of a total of about 50 fields in the table. The problem isusually with one or two text fields containing data from a different record,one that was created close to when the problem record was created.Example: TableB has fields 1-9, say. In one record, field 1 has A, field 2as B, field 3 has C, and so on.In another record (created shortly after the other one), field 1 has AA,field 2 has BB, field 3 has CC, and so on.The user works with the records, everything's fine. Then one day the usernotices that in the second record, field 1 has AA, field 2 has BB, but field3 has C instead of CC. In other words, all data's fine, except for one,maybe two fields, that have data from a previously-created record.At first glance this seems to be a user-interaction thing, that somehow theuser inadvertantly placed data from the older record into the newer one,either through a shortcut, or by having that data on the clipboard, orwhatever. But a recent incident opposes that theory.I have two forms in the front end for editing records (the forms are boundto the ODBC table links). Form1 is bound only to TableA (the one thatdoesn't have the problem); Form2 is bound to a query that is TableA joinedwith TableB.In the recent incident where data shifted, both the record that was affectedand the record from which the data came were both only edited with Form1. Inother words, TableB never came into play; yet its data was somehow affected.When a record is created, the user completes a few fields in a form, andthen a stored procedure creates a record in TableA and then a sister recordin TableB (using the TableA record's autonumber primary key as its primarykey). A couple of user entered values are entered into the TableB record.But if the user is using Form1, they never see the TableB record.In this case, the TableB record's two fields got changed to fields from anearlier record (one which was created a little earlier the same day), eventhough both records were only edited in Form1 (according to the historylog), which doesn't touch TableB.Thus, I'm wondering if there's a possibility that either the SQL database orthe ODBC driver somehow shifted the data from one record into another. Thatseems far-fetched. But, at this point, since a table that the user didn'ttouch somehow had its data changed to data from a different record, I'mtrying to explore all possibilities.Thanks for any insight!Neil

Extract Date Part Of Timestamp Column And Convert It To Char Field

Nov 28, 2012

Is there a way to extract the date part (11/27/2012) of a datetime/time stamp column (11/27/2012 00:00:00.000) and keep it in a date format?

The code i have below extracts the date part of a timestamp column and converts it to a char field. This becomes a problem when I joing the resultant table with a SAS dataset which contains the same column but is in a date format. The join process generates an error saying the column is in different formats.

convert(char(15), process_date,112) as process_dt

We'd expect 4856 to be in this, but no. it's 4400, and then thenext time you run it (no changes whatsover) it's 2312, and so on.Every time you execute you get a different record count.My thought/and fix was to move the (k.ticker) predicate out of thewhere clause and get a differenced set from z using NOT EXISTS:-----AMENDED---------------from(z where not exists(select * from k where k.ticker=y.ticker)) yleft join a on a.idA = y.idA and a.idB = y.idBand a.datadate = y.datadateleft join b on b.idA = y.idA and b.idB = y.idBand b.datadate = @mthDateleft join c on c.idA = y.idA and c.idB = y.idBand c.datadate = @mthDateleft join d on d.idA = y.idA and d.idB = y.idBand d.datadate = y.datadateleft join e on e.idA = y.idAand e.datadate = @mthDateleft join f on f.idA = e.idA and f.datadate=e.date2left join g on g.idA = e.idA and g.datadate=e.date2left join h on h.idA = y.idAleft join k on k.ticker = y.tickerleft join m on m.idA = y.idA and m.idB=y.idBwherey.datadate = @wkDate<..some other expression filters...>------------------------And this works. It's stable now.I'm hoping someone here can help me up the wisdom curve by explainingto me 'why' the recordset kept changing before.My guess is that the cost-based optimizer was resorting the outer joinsand handing back different sets as a result, but i want to understand,and thought i'd come to this group for help.I appreciate your time and look forward to replies.Greg McIntire

Shifting Past The Interim SQL2K

Apr 19, 2006

Hi all,

I've been working hard to drag my family and the family business into the modern life, took me long enough to get then off a 'coal-powered' Siemens Nixdorf miniframe. Anyway, they went for a package system, on a PC ntwork. Now I've been gradually migrating them again, teasing them (as sometimes you do) with the benefits that could be supplied by my software, written on an SQL 2k back-end.

So anyway, we now have a system that ties into FoxPro as its original system (the bought package), plus SQL 2K..... I'm now upgrading to SQL 2005, and Express for starters....

Is it going to be possible to easily to run queries against both SQL2k and FoxPro, or should I redo my current fix from 2k to 2005 and work from there... at the end of the day, it will all hopefully become a single system, as my new system takes over more and more of the other packages functionality. And on the flip side, if i remake my current SQL2k hook-in, am i going to hit problems when i remake/convert it to SQL Express (and yes, i know Express has limitations, but i need to persuade them to move before they'll pay up the cost of the full version)

Yours,

Ann-Marie

Sliding Window Scenario For Shifting Partitions...do All Indexes Need To Be Built On The Staging Tables?

Oct 31, 2007

Kimberly Tripp describes a recipe for switching partitions in and out, thru the use of staging tables, when it comes time to "slide the window" on a partitioned table. She says that the clustered index (on staging) must be the same as that chosen for the partitioned table itself but she doesnt discuss whether or not all of the non clustered indexes need to be the same too once the
ALTER TABLE Orders
SWITCH PARTITION 1
TO OrdersOctober2002
and
ALTER TABLE OrdersOctober2004
SWITCH TO Orders PARTITION 24
run. For the data being switched out, I wouldnt want to do anything extra. For the data being switched in, I'd like to understand if she is implying that all other indexes would be built automatically as a result of the 2nd ALTER statement?

Kimberly's article is at http://www.sqlskills.com/resources/Whitepapers/Partitioning%20in%20SQL%20Server%202005%20Beta%20II.htm#_Toc79339965

Creating A Column.

Dec 27, 2006

Is there a way for me to create a column in SQL?
What Im looking to do is create a view with columns from a specific table. In addition to this I would like to append a column to the view which would contain data based on the data from a pre-existing column.
Table AColumn 1Column 2Column 3
View AColumn 1Column 2Column 3Column 4
Now here is the Row structureColumn 1   Column 2   Column 3   Column 4Test           Test          A               ONTest           Test          B               OFF
So if Column 3 contains "A" as its field data than Column 4 will contain "ON" and if Column 3 contains "B" than Column 4 will contain "OFF"
Is this possible?
TIA,
Stue.
