I have a table with 22 million Business records. I can see that there are duplicates when I group by BusinessName and Address and Phone. I'd like to place only the duplicates into a table, with a ranking, oldest business key gets a ranking of 1.
As a bonus I'd like each group to have a distinct group name (although not necessary, just want to know how to do this)
Later after I run more verifications to make sure these are not referenced elsewhere I'll delete everything with a matchRank > 1 out of the main Business table.
DROP TABLE [dbo].[TestBusiness]; GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TestBusiness]( [Business_pk] INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [BusinessName] VARCHAR (200) NOT NULL, [Address] VARCHAR(MAX) NOT NULL,

I have a snapshot replication is running and now I want to stop the replication for a while. Is it possible to do that? If it is then where I can set to stop it? Please help.
I use EM to handle 2 SQL servers. One I can `stop`; the other I can`t. (except I think I used to be able to do so).
When I select the `stop` I get the following message from EM:
"An error 1051 - (A stop control has bee sent to a service which other running services are dependent on) occurred while performing the service operation on the MSSQLServer service."
How do I track down what this other running service is? How do I stop SQL?
I wanted to remove my Northwind database. But that database is currently used for replication. I'll have to stop the replication first before I can remove it.
Hi, Can anybody tell me how to stop the execution of a T-SQL statement at once? I have tried Alt+Break but its taking a long time to stop.Whats the reason?Plz suggest....I am dealing with a database containing 24343000 data. Joydeep
I have a statement that has been running great for the past hour but now it will not pull the info any longer and just gives me a null
DECLARE @Text VARCHAR(2000) SELECT @Text = COALESCE(@Text + '', '') + x.memotext FROM (SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT memotext FROM customermemoheader WHERE memonumber = 'TERMS' and customernumber = '0009' ORDER BY seqnumber) AS x
SELECT @Text AS MemoText
I have verified in the tables that the info is there by running the select statement from within the (). It has worked for 8000 records and now it no longer works. Any help would be much appreciated.
I have a performance issue with a Cognos report against SQL Server 2005. The total running time of the report is 1 minute 15, and using SQL Profiler I found out that 1m13 is spent preparing SQL. Execution and generating the report takes up 2 seconds; no problem there. The SQL is the same every time I run the report, yet SQL Server spends 1m13 preparing it every single time! I'm no DBA, but as far as I understand that's not what's supposed to happen; once prepared, the SQL should execute quickly every time.
Is there a way to stop SQL from preparing the statement every time?
(Cognos 8 against SQL Server 2005 through OLEDB. Oh, and this query takes about a second when run in EM.)
Hi,I am doing some resource hungry tasks (some extraction and loadingthrough DTS), for which each time the SQL Server Log files gets filledup!Is there any way to stop the logging (like as during restore)?Thanks in advance.-surajit

I did not request a shutdown! Someone please give me a global switch to tell SSIS to keep going. Why should I not load 20,00 records because of one bad record?
I have tediously changed every field on every tool to "Ignore Error". Why should I still have to do this? I mean why does SSIS default to failure? Is there some switch I could change in the XML that would change this default behaviour?
The problem with the data in this case: a NewLine character was missing so it looked to the data flow as one very long line.
In one of my packages, I have a script component to do a transformation and I am inserting the output to table. Within that script component, if the data does not match my requirement, I have to stop the job. For that, I am using 'componentmetadata.fireError' to raise an error. The problem is, now even when an error is raised, the job completes by loading the remaining records and then aborts. But I want to abort the job as soon it raises an error. How to do this?
I create a publication with 1 article with a parameterized filter. Empty table without records. Then i went to create a snapshot through snapshot agent. After snapshot was created, data are inserted with "Insert Into..Select" SQL statement. A total of 20 millions records (10GB) are inserted. When i try to sync with a SQL compact edition, the synchronization % stop at 0 for more than 1 hour. Does that mean it is not working?
Hi, The following stored procedure (SP) is using a dynamic sql to build the query. How can this be written using a standard sql. i.e. NOT dynamically being built. Initially I thought I can have something like the following query but it does not seem to be working for when the where caluse parameters are not passed. So I ended up using the dynamic sql as it returns the correct data. Can you see how the SP can be altered please? Thanks
------------------------this query does not return the correct data where the where parameters are not passed.------------ select * from tbl_Management where
([Year] is null or [Year] = @Year) AND (YearPeriod is null or YearPeriod = @YearPeriod) AND (AreaCode is null or AreaCode = @AreaCode)
@Year int = null, @YearPeriod int = null, @AreaCode varchar(3) = null
as
declare @sql varchar(1000)
set @sql = 'select' set @sql = @sql + ' ID' set @sql = @sql + ' ,AreaCode' set @sql = @sql + ' ,Year' set @sql = @sql + ' ,YearPeriod' set @sql = @sql + ' ,A1=A2+A3' set @sql = @sql + ' ,A2,A3' set @sql = @sql + ' ,B1=B2+B3' set @sql = @sql + ' ,X1=convert(int, ((B2+B3)*1.0/(A2+A3))*100)' set @sql = @sql + ' from' set @sql = @sql + ' tbl_Management' set @sql = @sql + ' where'

We have automated the process of backing up and restoring the databases. But the problem is One database is restoring from several hrs ..though it is supposed to take only a few mins. So there is some issue with it and I want to find out how I can stop the restoring process. Its not a command am running in query analyser or Enterprise manager, but its automated so i cant see the command to stop it. Any ideas?
I have a db that tracks clients, payments, and clients codes. A client can be assigned many codes. In my query I'm asking to see any clients that have two selected codes and also of those show me those that have a sum of payments between 1 and 100000 dollars. The query returnes the clients with the selected codes, but the total payments is multiplied by the number of the codes they have of the ones that I select. In this case 'email group' or 'member' So if a client had a total of $20,000 dollars in payments and they had both of the codes I selected the sum of payments is returned as $40,000. Any thoughts are appreciated! Here is a sample example: SELECT DISTINCT [Salutation], [Client_ID] AS 'Client ID', SUM([dbo].[vw_ClientTotals].[Total Payments]) AS 'Sum(Total Payments)'FROM [dbo].[All_Constituents]INNER JOIN [dbo].[tblClientCodes] ON [dbo].[tblClientCodes].[Client_ID]=[dbo].[All_Constituents].[Client_ID]INNER JOIN [dbo].[tblClientCodeLookUp] ON [dbo].[tblClientCodeLookUp].[ClientCode_ID]=[dbo].[tblClientCodes].[ClientCodeLookup_ID]INNER JOIN [dbo].[vw_ClientGiftTotals] ON [dbo].[vw_ClientGiftTotals].[Client_ID]=[dbo].[All_Constituents].[Client_ID]WHERE ( ([dbo].[tblClientCodeLookUp].[ClientCode] = 'Member') OR ([dbo].[tblClientCodeLookUp].[ClientCode] = 'Email Groups') )GROUP BY [dbo].[All_Constituents].[Salutation], [dbo].[All_Constituents].[Client_ID]HAVING (SUM([dbo].[vw_ClientTotals].[TotalPayments]) BETWEEN '1' AND '100000')

I have quick question. Ihave a job which consists of 9 steps. 9th step is: Exec xp_cmdshell 'c:mssql.bat'. in this batch file I am stopping and starting SQL services using net stop and net start command. This job is running perfectly but it is not giving the job history when I right click the job and view job history I can't see anything where as if I check the checkbox for Show step details it showing first 8 steps information but it is not showing 9th step information. Even I checked the Sysjobhistory system table in MSDB it shows only 8 steps information. What is the reason....
New here:) and hoping someone might be able to shed a little light on a problem I am having.
I have a job scheduled, which needs to be periodically stopped and then restarted. After looking through various places I think the start method and stop method are the best bets?:rolleyes: But not really sure to be honest.
Can anyone give me some tips/pointers/opinions on what would be the best way to do this. (have tried to setup a job with the said method in each step - but it doesn't like my syntax.
