I need to get the total reps by total and active status for the last 30 days.
There are two tables: Orders, and Customers. Orders just has the order date while customers has type and status columns.
Total: Customers.Status = any, customers.type = 'distributor'
Active: Customers.Status = 'Active' customers.type = 'distributor'
how would i do a sum on these two for the same report when both of the sums use different values?
I am facing a problem in writing the stored procedure for multiple search criteria.

I have a table called ADSCHL which contains the school_code as Primary key and other two table as
RGDEGR(common field as SCHOOl_code) and RGENRl( Original_school_code) which are refrencing the ADSCHL. if a school_code will be updated both the table RGDEGR (school_code) and RGERNL ( original_schoolcode) has to be updated as well. I have been provided a new data that i have imported to SQL server using SSIS with table name as TESTCEP which has a column name school_code. I have been assigned a task to update the old school_code vale ( ADSCHL) with new school_code ( TESTCEP) and make sure the changes happen across all 3 tables.
I tried using Merge Update function not sure if this is going to work.
Update dbo.ADSCHL
SET dbo.ADSCHL.SCHOOL_CODE = FD.SCHOOL_Code
FROM dbo.ADSCHL AD
INNER JOIN TESTCEP FD
ON AD.SCHOOL_NAME = FD.School_Name

Hello,
Yesterday I was looking to the processor usage in the Task Manager of Windows NT when a script of mine was running. The script was an InfoPump Script; which is a tool from the DecisionBase suite from CA (was previously owned by Platinum). This script contains SQL statements that select data from several tables and stores the result into another table. The SQL code used for this looks fine to me.
The query was running on a Compaq Proliant 5500 with 4 500 Mhz Xeon processors, 1 GB RAM, NT Server 4, SP 5, RAID 5. The SQL Server is configured to use all resources and SQL has normal priority on NT.
When the select part was running al four processors were used for about 75% and when the store happens only 1 processor is used for 100%.
Why is the store not spread over all four processors? It only uses one processor and it seems to be a bottleneck.

Our database stores vehicle data in one table, but 3 different types of data are stored in the one table. The table contains all the columns for all 3 types so when you query the table you get at least 3 rows back with null values for all the columns that don't apply to that record. The data is imported to the table when it's updates so there's a possibility that they're updated at different times so they have a different BATCH like:
BATCH TYPE ID RATING INSURANCE SAFETY
300 SAFE 123 NULL NULL A
300 INS 123 NULL YES NULL
250 RATE 123 A NULL NULL
What I'd like returned is:
ID, RATING, INSURANCE, SAFETY
123 A YES A
I'm trying to do a case statement to pull the data down, but I keep ending up with multiple rows because of all the nulls. I tried doing a SUM of the case statement with an ISNULL(SAFETY,0) but I can't SUM char values. I can probably do this with 3 temp tables to load the data that I want for each TYPE into them and then select and join them together, but is there a better way to do this?
Let us suppose I've 3 tables in which 2 columns data are same in all 3 tables & rest fields are distinct
Table 1 :

Hi, Experts,
I have a data table from a old system.
There are 10 data fields stored in one row at this table.
How can I seperate those fields into another table to be 10 rows?
Any component in Data Flow can I use?(I have tried several component...)
by the way,
the original table is a large table, contain 3,000,000 rows.
Thanks for your all assistance.
I am have a situation to insert data from multiple sources to a single table.
i.e., multiple and concurrent insert on same table
Will it lead to dead lock at any point? is there any possibility?
How insert will work ? What is the architecture ? Any references to read?
I know that this is legal sql: "SELECT 1 AS Blah"

Hi,
I have the following scenario: N identical Databases (corresponding to different Fiscal Years, with names <Company Name>.<YEAR>). We want to consolidate the N DBs to a New Datawarehouse.
In SSIS we have designed a Dataflow that reads through a OLE DB Source (Connected to one of the N Databases) and maps to a OLE DB Destination (Connected to the NEW DB).
The question is, how we loop in SSIS through the N identical Connections, so to repeatedly execute the designed Dataflow, each time with a different Connection?
Thanks in Advance,

So I have been trying to get mySQL query to work for a large database that I have. I have (lets say) two tables Table_One and Table_Two. Table_One has three columns: Type, Animal and TestID and Table_Two has 2 columns Test_Name and Test_ID. Example with values is below:
**TABLE_ONE**
Type Animal TestID
-----------------------------------------
Mammal Goat 1
Fish Cod 1
Bird Chicken 1
Reptile Snake 1
Bird Crow 2
Mammal Cow 2
Bird Ostrich 3
**Table_Two**
Test_name TestID
-------------------------
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_2 2
Test_2 2
Test_3 3
In Table_One all types come under one column and the values of all Types (Mammal, Fish, Bird, Reptile) come under another column (Animals). Table_One and Two can be linked by Test_ID
I am trying to create a table such as shown below:
Test_Name Bird Reptile Mammal Fish
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Test_1 Chicken Snake Goat Cod
Test_2 Crow Cow
Test_3 Ostrich
This should be my final table. The approach I am currently using is to make multiple instances of Table_One and using joins to form this final table. So the column Bird, Reptile, Mammal and Fish all come from a different copy of Table_one.
For e.g
Select
Test_Name AS 'Test_Name',
Table_Bird.Animal AS 'Birds',
Table_Mammal.Animal AS 'Mammal',
Table_Reptile.Animal AS 'Reptile,
Table_Fish.Animal AS 'Fish'
From Table_One
[Code] .....
The problem with this query is it only works when all entries for Birds, Mammals, Reptiles and Fish have some value. If one field is empty as for Test_Two or Test_Three, it doesn't return that record. I used Or instead of And in the WHERE clause but that didn't work as well.
Sorry for the confusing subject. Here's what im doing:I have a table of products. Products have N categories andsubcategories. Right now its 4. But there could be more down theline so it needs to be extensible.So ive created a product table. Then a category table that has manycategories of products, of which a product can belong to N number ofthese categories. Finally a ProductCategory "match" table.This is pretty straigth forward. But im getting confused as to how towrite views/sprocs to pull out rows of products that list all theproducts categories as columns in a single query view.For example:lets say productId 1 is Cap'n Crunch cereal. It is in 3 categories:Cereal, Food for Kids, Crunchy food, and Boxed.So we have:Product----------------1 Capn CrunchCategories-----------------1 Cereal2 Food for Kids3 Crunchy food4 BoxedProductCategories------------------1 11 21 31 4How do I go about writing a query that returns a single result set fora view or data set (for use in a GridView control) where I would havethe following result:Product results---------------------------------ProductId ProductName Category 1 Category 2Category 3 Category N ...------------------------------------------------------------------------1 Capn Crunch Cereal Food for Kids Crunchy foodBoxedAm I just thinking about this all wrong? Sure seems like it.Cheers,Will
View 1 Replies View RelatedRunning SQL Server 2005, trying to develop an SSRS report to basically pivot a table of data with multiple columns.

Hi:
I have a data flow task in which there is a OLEDB source, derived column item, and a oledb destination. My source is a SQL command, that returns some values. I have some values, that I define in the derived columns, and set default values under the expression column. My question is, I also have some destination columns which in my OLEDB destination need another SQL command. How would I do that? Can I attach two or more OLEDB sources to one destination? How would I accomplish that? Thanks

I have a business need to create a report by query data from a MS SQL 2008 database and display the result to the users on a web page. The report initially has 6 columns of data and 2 out of 6 have JSON data so the users request to have those 2 JSON columns parse into 15 additional columns (first JSON column has 8 key/value pairs and the second JSON column has 7 key/value pairs). Here what I have done so far:
I found a table value function (fnSplitJson2) from this link [URL]. Using this function I can parse a column of JSON data into a table. So when I use the function above against the first column (with JSON data) in my query (with CROSS APPLY) I got the right data back the but I got 8 additional rows of each of the row in my table. The reason for this side effect is because the function returned a table of 8 row (8 key/value pairs) for each json string data that it parsed.
1. First question: How do I modify my current query (see below) so that for each row in my table i got back one row with 19 columns.
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B
If updated my query (see below) and call the function twice within the CROSS APPLY clause I got this error: "The multi-part identifier "A.ITEM6" could be be bound.
2. My second question: How to i get around this error?
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*, C.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B, fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM6,NULL) C

Hi all!
I'm trying to get some XML data into SQL Server but i ran into problem when inserting the data (multiple orders with multiple order details) using a single sproc. Is it possible, or do I have to do in some other way? :confused:
I simplified my example to this:
-----------------------------
--CREATE PROCEDURE sp_InsertOrders AS
DECLARE @docHandle INT, @xmlDoc VARCHAR(4000), @orderID INT
--DROP TABLE #Orders
CREATE TABLE #Orders
(
OrderId SMALLINT IDENTITY(1,1),
FkCustomerID SMALLINT NOT NULL,
OrderDate DATETIME NOT NULL
)
--DROP TABLE #OrderDetails
CREATE TABLE #OrderDetails
(
OrderDetailsId SMALLINT IDENTITY(1,1),
FkOrderID SMALLINT NOT NULL,
ProductID SMALLINT NOT NULL,
UnitPrice SMALLINT NOT NULL
)
Set @xmlDoc = '
<Orders>
<Order CustomerID="1" OrderDate="2004-04-01">
<OrderDetails ProductID="6" UnitPrice="19"/>
<OrderDetails ProductID="3" UnitPrice="11"/>
<OrderDetails ProductID="9" UnitPrice="7"/>
</Order>
<Order CustomerID="2" OrderDate="2004-04-12">
<OrderDetails ProductID="2" UnitPrice="24"/>
<OrderDetails ProductID="4" UnitPrice="13"/>
</Order>
</Orders>'
EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @docHandle OUTPUT, @xmlDoc
INSERT INTO #Orders (FkCustomerID, OrderDate)
SELECT CustomerID, OrderDate
FROM OpenXML(@docHandle, 'Orders/Order', 3)
WITH (
CustomerID INTEGER,
OrderDate DATETIME
)
SET @OrderID = @@IDENTITY;
--INSERT INTO #OrderDetails (@OrderID, ProductID, UnitPrice)
SELECT @OrderID AS OrderID, ProductID, UnitPrice
FROM OpenXML(@docHandle, 'Orders/Order/OrderDetails', 3)
WITH (
ProductID INTEGER,
UnitPrice INTEGER
)
-----------------------------
All orders are inserted first which makes the use of @@IDENTITY incorrect (it works fine if you insert a single order with multiple order details). Since it was quite some time since I last worked with SQL I am not sure if am doing it the right way... :confused: :confused: Anybody out there who knows how to solve the problem?

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.
Hello All,
I am rather new to reporting on SQL Server 2005 so please be patient with me.
I need to create a report that will generate system information for a server, the issue im having is that the table I am having to gather the information from seems to only allow me to pull off data from only one row.
For example,. Each row contains a different system part (I.e. RAM) this would be represented by an identifier (1), but I to list each system part as a column in a report
The table (System Info) looks like:-
ID | System part |
1 | RAM
2 | Disk Drive
10| CPU
11| CD ROM |
Which
So basically I need it to look like this.
Name | IP | RAM | Disk Drive|
----------------------------------------------
A | 127.0.0.1 | 512MB | Floppy
So Far my SQL code looks like this for 1 item
SELECT SYSTEM PART
FROM System Info
WHERE System.ID = 1
How would I go about displaying the other system parts as columns with info
Any help is much appreciated!
Hi!
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...)
Any pointer most welcome!
best regards and thanks

I am working on a model where I have a sales fact table. Each fact record has four different customer fields (ship- to, sold-to, payer, and bill-to customer). I have one customer dimension table that joins to the sales fact table four times (once for each of the customer fields above). When viewing the data in Excel, I would like to have four hierarchies (ship -to, sold-to, payer, and bill-to customer) within Customer.
Is there a way to build hierarchies within my Customer dimension based on the same Customer table? What I want is to view the data in Excel and see the Customer dimension. Within Customer, I want four hierarchies.
