Hi all,
Lets say that i have 3 tables, they are already related together, information on each of the 3 tables and their relationship between eachother can be found below:
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Database in Visual Web Developer 2008 using VB programming (ADO.NET)
The 3 tables are as follows:
Floor
Room
Location
Fields inside each of the tables can be found below:
Floor Table
(PK) ID
(Required) Name
DisplayOrder
Room Table
(PK) ID
(Required) Name
(PK, FK) FloorID
ExchangeID
Extension
IP
DeviceName
Remarks
(Required) Equipment
(Required) Floor2ID
FloorLocationX
FloorLocationY
The Relationships between the 3 tables are as follows:
ID field in Floor table is referenced by the field named FloorID in the Room Table
ID field in Floor table is referenced by the field named FloorID in the Location table
NOTE: Location Table serves only as an extension to Floor table thus they have a 1 to 1 relationship, due to My Projects Lead's instructions I am not allowed to consolidate the Floor Table and the Location Table as 1 whole table.
Floor Table has a 1 to Many Relationship with the Room Table.
I Have already done the physical relationships between each of the 3 tables in the Database Diagram, in Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition under the Database Explorer
So i have created this form to accept user input:
this form is in a aspx page called AddRooms.aspx
Country Name:______________ (data sent to location table)
City Name:_________________ (data sent to location table)
Building Name:______________ (data sent to location table)
FloorID:[This is a DropDownList which is databinded to the Floor Table]
Room Name:_______________ (data sent to room table)
*Just imagine that the above is a form to accept user input
*With a hit of a submit button all data will be sent to their respective tables in the database
Now i know that i have to JOIN tables in my database in order for my application to work, but i have no experience performing JOIN, i need great guys like you to help me apply JOIN to the 3 tables mentioned above, do let me know if you have any doubts in what i am trying to do.
Do give me that code that i can either apply in the (VB environment Visual Web Developer 2008) and/or in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 environment
Just need the SQL Statment that i will need to construct to perform the JOIN i need to.
Lets sat that i have 3 tables that i want to relate together manually (no wizards) by using SQL statements.I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 in Visual Web Developer 2008 using VB programming (ADO.NET)The 3 tables are as follows: FloorRoomLocation Fields inside each of the tables can be found below: Floor Table(PK) ID(Required) NameDisplayOrder Room Table(PK) ID(Required) Name(PK, FK) FloorIDExchangeIDExtensionIPDeviceNameRemarks(Required) Equipment(Required) Floor2IDFloorLocationXFloorLocationY Location Table(PK,FK) FloorID (Required) CountryName(Required) CityName(Required) BuildingName My Intended relationships between the 3 tables are as follows: ID field in Floor table is referenced by the field named FloorID in the Room Table ID field in Floor table is referenced by the field named FloorID in the Location table NOTE: Location Table serves only as an extension to Floor table thus they have a 1 to 1 relationship, due to My Projects Lead's instructions I am not allowed to consolidate the Floor Table and the Location Table as 1 whole table. Floor Table has a 1 to Many Relationship with the Room Table. I Have already done the physical relationships between each of the 3 tables in the Database Diagram. All i want is the SQL statement that does the link/relationship between this 3 tables, that's all :)
Hello,I'm using a shape query, but instead of using a simple clause "RELATEfield1 to field2" (relates the parent to the child), i wan't to use 2relates. somthing like "RELATE field1 to field2 AND field3 to field4".I want to receive in the children RS only the records who apply bothconditions.How do i do that ?Thanks !
So I have a question and I will give a related example. Say I have a list of records in a table:
Product Cost Active
hat 1.00 false
coat 2.00 true
I have a DataGridView that shows purchases from a purchase table: Date, ProductID, Buyer
Is there a way to have a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn show only active items so that a user can only select active items in the puchases datagridview, but when they click a purchase from long ago when an item was active they have the ability to pick that old(unactive) item or a new one for an update.
Basically if I just have the ComboBoxColumn bound to a dataset with just active items, the datagrid will fail to load cause old purchases are not in its item list, but I also don't want all the items to be in the list.
Hi! I have a general SQL CE v3.5 design question related to table/file layout. I have an system that has multiple tables that fall into categories of data access. The 3 categories of data access are:
1 is for configuration-related data. There is one application that will read/write to the data, and a second application that will read the data on startup.
1 is for high-performance temporal storage of data. The data objects are all the same type, but they are our own custom object and not just simple types.
1 is for logging where the data will be permanent - unless the configured size/recycling settings cause a resize or cleanup. There will be one application writing alot [potentially] of data depending on log settings, and another application searching/reading sections of data. When working with data and designing the layout, I like to approach things from a data-centric mindset, because this seems to result in a better performing system. That said, I am thinking about using 3 individual SDF files for the above data access scenarios - as opposed to a single SDF with multiple tables. I'm thinking this would provide better performance in SQL CE because the query engine will not have alot of different types of queries going against the same database file. For instance, the temporal storage is basically reading/writing/deleting various amounts of data. And, this is different from the logging, where the log can grow pretty large - definitely bigger than the default 128 MB. So, it seems logical to manage them separately.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions from the SQL CE experts with regard to my approach. If there are any tips/tricks with respect to different data access scenarios - taking into account performance, type of data access, etc. - I would love to take a look at that.
Hi, I am new to sql and is working with sql server managment 2005 +c# 2005.
My application needs to create a blockdiagram sort of thing say if in my database i got a table 'Addition' with 'a', 'b', 'c',and the primary key addition_id, and c is related to a and b as c = a+ b.
there is stored procedure name usp_addition which contains this relation. Each time any insert or update is done this sp is executed and all the values are updated for accordingly. My problem starts in the front end where i need to draw the graphical representation of table addition.
In this graphical representation, I need to draw the labels a, b, c and the arrows from a and b which will connect to c, showing that c has a, b as inputs.
I got the label using dataset and datacolumns but hte problem is how to create the arrows the name of labels (i.e my column names from which the arrow should start and end)
How does I get the information that c as two inputs a, b. I dont need the values since i just want to view the columns in table and which column is input to another column.
Since I need to do this dynamically because my tablename, and the number and name of column would differ does any body knows how to do this.
I have a contact table and a customer table. The two tables will contain columns like First name Last Name, Date of Birth Post Code, House Number Street Name etc.
I would like to find the different combinations in which I can relate the customer and contact data. Like its is possible that the first name and last name are same but date of birth is different. This indicates that the contact and customer is the same. Now I do not know these combinations and I would like to have this set generated for me. From Integration Service (Sql Server 2005) I get the data and I would like to know the patterns in which data will differ. Is there any way of achieving this?
I am very new to Data Mining and would like to have some direction as to how to progress with this.
Please stick with me for a second... If someone dealt with tables related to US State/County and ZIP. We found a company on the Web which have ALL US counties, states, zips and cities in one big table. We need somehow to break this table( about 76K records) into multiple related tables and estabsish Some sort of relationship among these tables. 1.State table(design) ID State_Name 2.County table( design) ID County_Name Relationship_to_State For example if state = 'NY'; then all Counties falls in NY should have relationship '01'. For NJ '02' and so on. 3.Zipcode table( design-same as for county)
If someone has any idea how to solve this problem that would be really appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.
Iterating through Running packages as in this code from MSDN:
RunningPackages pkgs = app.GetRunningPackages("yourserver"); // Enumerate through each package in the collection and display some data. foreach(RunningPackage package in pkgs) { Console.WriteLine("InstanceID: "+package.InstanceID); Console.WriteLine("PackageDescription: "+package.PackageDescription); Console.WriteLine("PackageID: "+package.PackageID); Console.WriteLine("PackageName: "+package.PackageName); Console.WriteLine("UserName: "+package.UserName); }
How would I find any rows in sysdtslog90 related to that instance of RunningPackage (i.e. the 'package' variable)? The InstanceID does not seem to relate to the executionID that is in the log table.
I have a requirement where in i have around 15 different flat files , filenames are fixed but folder path can be changed(i think i should use a variable for folder path). These 15 files data should go to their respective tables in the database.
Whether I need to create separate data flow task for each file or separate package? In addition to these, example : while importing product data into product table, if product ID already exists, we need to ignore it and upload only the new records.
I have just taken over the job of sorting out a rather poorly designed database. It looks like it was 'upsized' from an access database to the SQL server. The SQL server is the 2000 version.
Now I am trying to generate a report of what the students in the database are owing by referencing the Receipt table and then all the available payment methods and allocations. I was wondering if there was anyway to work out data being displayed twice (Let me demonstrate)
Note1: All the tables are linked by a key of ReceiptNo. From what I can see there is a table for every payment type and allocation but no link between the two other then the receipt number.
Using the query: SELECT T_Receipt.ReceiptNo, T_cheque.Amount AS Chq_Amount, T_credit.Amount AS Cre_Amount, StandingOrder.Amount AS Stn_Amount, T_BankTransfer.amount AS Bnk_Amount, T_cash.TotalAmount AS Cas_Amount, T_RentPayment.AmountPayed AS Ren_Paid, T_AdminPayment.AmountPaid AS Adm_Paid, T_InternetBilling.Total AS Int_Paid, T_Utilities.AmountPaid AS Util_Amount, T_InvoicePayment.amountPaid AS Inv_Paid, T_OtherPayments.paymentAmount AS Oth_Paid, T_parkingBill.paymentAmount AS Prk_Paid, T_TelephoneBills.TelephoneCredit AS Tel_Paid, T_DepositPayment.[Deposit payment] AS Dep_Amount, T_Receipt.cancelled AS Canceled, T_Receipt.RemittanceReceiptNo AS Rec_Ref, T_Receipt.Student FROM T_Receipt INNER JOIN T_DepositPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_DepositPayment.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_RentPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_RentPayment.RentPaymentNo LEFT OUTER JOIN StandingOrder ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = StandingOrder.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_TelephoneBills ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_TelephoneBills.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_parkingBill ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_parkingBill.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_OtherPayments ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_OtherPayments.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_InvoicePayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_InvoicePayment.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_cash ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_cash.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_AdminPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_AdminPayment.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_BankTransfer ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_BankTransfer.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_Utilities ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_Utilities.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_credit ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_credit.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_cheque ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_cheque.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_InternetBilling ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_InternetBilling.ReceiptNo GROUP BY T_Receipt.Student, T_Receipt.ReceiptNo, T_cheque.Amount, T_credit.Amount, StandingOrder.Amount, T_BankTransfer.amount, T_cash.TotalAmount, T_AdminPayment.AmountPaid, T_InternetBilling.Total, T_Utilities.AmountPaid, T_InvoicePayment.amountPaid, T_OtherPayments.paymentAmount, T_parkingBill.paymentAmount, T_TelephoneBills.TelephoneCredit, T_Receipt.cancelled, T_Receipt.RemittanceReceiptNo, T_DepositPayment.[Deposit payment], T_RentPayment.AmountPayed, T_Receipt.Student HAVING (T_Receipt.Student LIKE N'06%')
Which gives a result of:
RecNo. 30429 Cheque 250 Deposit 250
30429 679.98 250
This is fine but when I do analysis on this it appears as though the student has paid two deposit payments. I was wondering with out querying each table independently from an application if there was a criteria to specify that I only get one deposit result. So as such say, give me all the payments but I only want one result from the other tables. I though about discrete but that wouldn't work here.
I have 7 source databases and one target database, all using the same structure. The structure is made of 10 tables, with foreign key constraints.
I need to merge the source databases into the target (which won't have any data before that process, but will already have the correct schema), and to keep the relationships between the records.
I know how to iterate over the source databases (with SMO foreach), but I'd like to know if someone can advise the best copy method for that context in SSIS ? (I don't want to keep the primary keys, but I need to keep the relationships...)
I have a couple of hundred flat files to import into database tables using SSIS.
The files can be divided into groups by the format they use. I understand that I could import each group of files that have a common format at the same time using a Foreach Loop Container.
However, the example for the Foreach Loop Container has multiple files all being imported into the same database table. In my case, each file needs to be imported into a different database table.
Is it possible to import each set of files with the same format into different tables in a simple loop? I can't see a way to make a Data Flow Destination item accept its table name dynamically, which seems to prevent me doing this.
I suppose I could make a different Data Flow Destination item for each file, in the Data Flow. Would that be a reasonable solution, or is there a simpler solution, or should I just resign myself to making a separate Data Flow for every single file?
Hello I am building a survey application. I have 8 questions. Textbox - Call reference Dropdownmenu - choose Support method Radio button lists - Customer satisfaction questions 1-5 Multiline textbox - other comments. I want to insert textbox, dropdown menu into a db table, then insert each question score into a score column with each question having an ID. I envisage to do this I will need an insert query for the textbox and dropdownlist and then an insert for each question based on ID and score. Please help me! Thanks Andrew
I need to be able to bulk insert a bunch of tables from their corresponding flat file. I have created an XML file (see below) which has the file name/table name pair at each node. I then created a ForEachLoop task and used the Node enumeration type and the following OuterXpathString: ReferenceFiles/File. At this point I get lost. How do I pass the 2 inside node values (file name and table name) to variables which I can then use as expressions for the bulk insert task inside the Foreach?
I used the data export wizard to export a single table to a single flat file (multiple wasn't allowed). I saved the package as a *.dtsx file which I'm attempting to edit to add the additional tables.
Creating additional sources is fairly easy copy of the first source and change to the table name.
I've tried copying the destination connection and changing to a new text file, but can't get past having to add each column manually to the new destination.
How can I duplicate the mapping that must be taking place in the wizard in the *.dtsx editing environment?
This seems like a simple / common task, but I've been unable to find a solution.
I am trying to query the Topics in my discussion forum...The Topic contains a "last_poster_id" and a "author_id" I need the username and userid for both "last_poster_id" and "author_id" in the table "aspnet_Users"How do I do this?I would guess I need to use sub select statements. Can someone help me?
Hi, I am trying to build search engin with 11 parameters in 4 different tables in the database. For example: In search.aspx I have 11 textboxes namely nameTextbox, phoneTextbox, nationalityTextbox, ageTextbox etc. And in the result.aspx page I have gridview which post data from the database if the search match. I wrote this stored procedure. P.S please ignore the syntax. @name var(30),
@nationality (30),
@phone int,
etc
as
Select a.UserId, b.UserId, c.UserId FROM Table1 a, Table2 b, Table3 c
WHERE
name LIKE '%' @name '%'
OR nationality LIKE '%' @nationality '%'
OR phone LIKE '%' @phone '%'
etc
But I got an error when I am trying to execute this code because the nulls values so I wrote 1 @name var(30), 2 3 @nationality (30), 4 5 @phone int, 6 7 etc 8 9 as 10 11 12 13 Select a.UserId, b.UserId, c.UserId FROM Table1 a, Table2 b, Table3 c 14 15 WHERE 16 17 name LIKE '%' ISNULL(@name, '') '%' 18 19 OR nationality LIKE '%' ISNULL(@nationality,'') '%' 20 21 OR phone LIKE '%' ISNULL(@phone,'') '%' 22 23 etc 24 25
Also the error still exist. What is the best way to search for multiple parameters in multiple tables ?
Hello, I am in the progress of designing a new section of my database and was thinking of creating a hole new database instead of just creating tables inside the database. My question is can you JOIN multiple tables in an SQL Statement from multiple databases. Ie, In the Management program I have a database called 'Convention' and another one called 'Services', inside the two databases there are many tables. Can I link say tblRegister from Convention to tblUser in Services? Thanks
I have searched but not found quite the best way to look at this so far..
I have an application that outputs data to several text files (up to 30). These have commonality by an object name, but then contain completely different column data.
In DTS I had each of the source text file connections going to one OLE DB connection and then individual transform data tasks pointing to the one OLE DB connection.
Looking at SSIS, it would appear that I would need to have one source and one destination for each of these and therefore 30 parallel data flows?
Just wondering if there is a neater way of doing this??
It is a regular data import that happens a few times a day - the text files are named the same as the SQL tables - ie app_userdata.txt goes to app_userdata table.
Being still a relative newcomer to SQL Server (people may say I'm trying to take on too much being somewhat inexperienced once they read about the problem I'm trying to tackle, but alas...) I'm running into the following problem: I need to create tables in my user database on the fly (using Stored Procedures) so that each table can be created many times in the database but only once for every user. The tables should be named something like "username.Table1", "username.Table2" etc. as opposed to "dbo.Table1". I then want to use the stored procedure from .NET/C# in my web application, so that i can create the complete set of usertables for each of my clients.
Now, I tackled the stored procedure part (that is, it creates all the tables I need with all the parameters I want) and am able to use it from my web application (which took some time to learn but proved quite easy to do), but I cannot seem to get it coupled to the current user (instead of the dbo). Every time I trie, the tables are created as dbo.Table1 and when I try to create a new set, it gives a warning ("table with name such and so already exists..."). I made sure to log in as an authenticated user (using forms authentication) before trying to create the tables but this gives the aforementioned result.
What am I doing wrong? I use Visual Web Developer Express, SQL Server 2005 Express and IIS version 5.1
I am trying to populate a table with repeating groups in multiple columns by using information from two other tables. The sample tables and records are like:
I am trying to write (my first, unfortunatly) DTS, and am having some problems.
I need to be able to import multiple flatfiles (all in the same format, just with different schema), each one going into a different table. I have written an application to call my DTS, sending it variables for the tablename and the filename. This works fine when I test it on a single flatfile.
My problem is, the Tranformation object does not reset after each DTS call, so I get "Column does not exist" errors after the first successful import. I can go into the DTS Manager and reset the Transformation options, but that would defeat the purpose of automation. Is there anyway to reset, or another technique, the Transformation object so that it will continuosly work on files that use different schema?
I am very new at DTS, so please consider me "ignorant" when replying.
I can have a user that has multiple emails but I need to return them all in one row in addition to the name, office and phone. And I need to do this regardless of the number of emails they have. Please, can anyone help the newbie?
Is there a way to import multiple csv files from a directory into sql2005? The situation I have right now is that I have a folder withmultiple csv files that i need to import into sql 2005. I can do itwith the import wizard but it takes to long. The files will be updatedmonthly. The first row in the files contains all the header informationwhich may change monthy. What I am looking to do is import all of thesecsv into tables. One csv file into for one table. Ideally I would liketo use the name of the csv file as the name of the table. Any bump inthe right direction would be apprecieted
I am trying to import an excel spreadsheet into a sql server database. The problem is I need the information in the spreadsheet to be imported into 3 different tables. I thought of transfering all details into a temporary table and then setting 3 triggers for each transfer of information. But this seems very inefficient. I know there should be an easier way to do this in dts.
Hi, I had someone help me refine results to show results that have data that match 2 tables. I then created a column of values from the two tables but how do i take the average of that column?
my original script looks something like this:
select a.day, a.time, a.cname, sum(T_GS), sum(T_CS), sum(T_CS)/sum(T_GS) Cost, sum(T_OPEX), sum(T_CS)/10/sum(T_OPEX) PERCENT from Fs_b12 a, Fs_b7 b
where a.day=2005 and b.day=2005 and a.time=b.time and a.carrier_name=b.carrier_name group by a.day, a.time, a.cname order by a.cname, a.time
