I have to connect a SQL Server to oracle 8 using a linked server. I was given an id and password from the Oracle side to do this, and using the Oracle OLEDB driver from SQL can link the server, but get an msodra error when I click on the tables icon in EM. THis is set up on another SQL Server but the person who did this left. Is there anything else on the SQL Server which needs to be loaded?
I need help in creating a custom string for a multi-value parameter going against an Oralce 8 database. I'm trying to build a string that looks like ('1401', 'HACT', '1504') If I do it as an expression in a test report the results are perfect but in production it does not like it.
This is what I have based on some examples I have found but it complains it needs a ) These are the last few lines of the query

Hi, I'm trying to create a resultset with the top 100 customers for the year (based on this year's sales) and for each of these customers, to return 5 top items and their corresponding sales dollars, as well as percentage of total sales achieved by each item. What I'm struggling with is how to return specifically 5 sales items per customer. If I use a temp table or a correlated subquery, what is the exact syntax to use? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks all :)
I have tables in my database, tblNames1, tblNames2, tblNames3 for ex, and for addresses tblAddresses, can I match the address IDs in the names tables to the address table based on the values of a field? In this case CompanyName. Can they be matched automatically? My issue is that I have a huge CSV file with all the address information that needs to be assigned a foreign key based on the company name field which is also present in all the names tables, all the names are normalized.
I need to write a statement that returns the name, city, and state of each vendor that’s located in a unique city and state. In other words, I can not include vendors that have a city and state in common with another vendor.
I have a strange request that might not be possible based on the laws of relational databases but I thought I'd give it a try.
I have three tables which for simplicity I will call A, B and C. Table A contains my master records, Table B contains user details and the final table contains some extra data
In my initial search when joining A and B, I return 100 records. I then need to search in table C for these 100 records based on a criteria. the expected result should return all 100 rows for the ones that match and also the ones that do not match. The problem is that in Table C, not all the 100 IDs exist, so there will not be a corresponding record. Unfortunately, our users still want to see all 100 records in the output. Is this possible
As always any help or direction would be appreciated.
I have 4 rows below in file tblTEST, and I want to be able to transfer the CODE from the MAIN location to the INT location (replacing all existing "A" codes), preceeded by an "I".
ID LOC CODE -- ----- ------ 11 MAIN B 11 INT A 22 MAIN C 22 INT A
I want the result to be:
ID LOC CODE -- ----- ------ 11 MAIN B 11 INT IB 22 MAIN C 22 INT IC
I am stumped as to how to do this - any help or advice would be appreciated.
The only thing I've come up with is:
UPDATE S SET s.code = B.code FROM tbltest B LEFT OUTER JOIN tbltest S ON B.id = S.id WHERE (S.loc = 'INT')
Hello I am new to SSIS and learning as I go. Any guidance to my questions would be appreciated.
I wrote a script that takes the current date and subtracts a number of days/months from this date. I then attempted to use an SQL Task as a select with a parameter using the calculated date from the script. I was not successful in doing this. While performing searches on the WEB with the hopes of finding a solution I came upon the following text in the Microsoft forum under EXECUTE SQL TASK.
When you use an OLE DB Connection Manager, you cannot use parameterized subqueries because the Execute SQL task cannot derive parameter information through the OLE DB provider. However, you can use an expression to concatenate the parameter values into the query string and to set the SqlStatementSource property of the task.
Having come upon this statement I moved on to putting together an OLE DB SOURCE with a Flat File Destination. The SQL that I wrote is:
SELECT BP_ID, INVC_NBR, INVC_DT, BUS_ADD_DT FROM DW.CUST_SALE_ADDR WHERE (BUS_ADD_DT = ?)
The flat file destination was mainly used to confirm the select.
Having confirmed my select, I changed the select in the OLE DB SOURCE as follows:
DELETE FROM DW.CUST_SALE_ADDR WHERE (BUS_ADD_DT = ?)
I also removed the Flat File Destination. Needless to say when I tried to run the package I did not get very far as a package validation error was encountered since there were no output columns.
Can you share how I should go about peforming the delete as described from the table based on a calculated date? And am I not understanding the comment regarding the SQL Statement and the use of parameters?
Let's say I have a list of IDs called EntryID and each EntryID can belong to ONE table out of a group of six, what is the best way to get a listing of these?
For example:
select r.* from #Reminders r left join mytable1 mt1 on (r.EntryID = mt1.EntryID) left join mytable2 mt2 on (r.EntryID = mt2.EntryID) left join mytable3 mt3 on (r.EntryID = mt3.EntryID) left join mytable4 mt4 on (r.EntryID = mt4.EntryID)
As you can see, #Reminders has one field called EntryID (and many rows).
In my example above, only ONE of those tables will actually be able to join but I have no idea which one has the matching EntryID.
What is the best way for me to do this? I want to grab "ReportStatus" from the corresponding "mytable"... (each "mytable" has a ReportStatus column)
What I need to do is merge the two tables into a single table based on the matching timestamp:
timestamp, servername1, servername2 as headers then values under "1/1/1-1:10:1" , "10" , "10" - as an example "1/1/1-1:20:1" , "20" , "21" - as an example "1/1/1-1:30:1" , "1" , "5" - as an example
Powershell or MSSQL 2008 queries work.
I have a powershell script atm that can create the table and then throw it back into the database but its very slow because of the amount of records.
The table is for some performance stat collection app.
Table #1 records a timestamp, the servername (which is the same over and over in the table) and the value of the performance object. Table #2 is the same collection but for a different server.
The layout in the database is terrible but this is what I get to work with.
I have tables and a function as representated by the code below. The names  for objects here are just for representation and not the actual names of objects. Table RDTEST may have one or multiple values for RD for each PID. So the function GIVERD will return one or multiple values of RD for each value of PID passed to it.
When I run the following query, I get the required result except the rows for CID 500 for which PID is NULL in table T1. I want the rows for CID 500 as well with PID values as NULL.
SELECT  A.CID, A.ANI, A.PID, B.RD FROM T1 AS A CROSS APPLY GIVERD(A.PID) B
I'm trying to clean up a database design and I'm in a situation to where two tables need a FK but since it didn't exist before there are orphaned records.
Tables are:
Brokers and it's PK is BID
The 2nd table is Broker_Rates which also has a BID table.
I'm trying to figure out a t-sql statement that will parse through all the recrods in the Broker_Rates table and delete the record if there isn't a match for the BID record in the brokers table.
I know this isn't correct syntax but should hopefully clear up what I'm asking
Hello,Using SQL Server 2000, I'm trying to put together a query that willtell me the following information about a view:The View NameThe names of the View's columnsThe names of the source tables used in the viewThe names of the columns that are used from the source tablesBorrowing code from the VIEW_COLUMN_USAGE view, I've got the codebelow, which gives me the View Name, Source Table Name, and SourceColumn Name. And I can easily enough get the View columns from thesyscolumns table. The problem is that I haven't figured out how tolink a source column name to a view column name.

Okay I've posted something like this in another area but it doesn't seem to be focused towards the right people. I need ya'll SQL experts! I have a database table that has 5 columns: Time Status Message Source IP The Status column has only two choices "up" or "down" I'm looking for some kind of advanced query that will do the following: I need the query in my application to pull the table and then match up IP, Status, and Message columns. It should only find One match and then once it has found a match it needs to recognize that one is an "up" status and one is a "down" status and then remove them from the database. Does that make sense? Is it impossible?
Hi, This is a where clause I am using in a search. WHERE (ADDRESS_STREET LIKE '%' + @Search + '%' ) I am trying to do a search which returns the most matching record. For example if I have a record with Denver as text . If I search for Denvr the spell error is intended , I will not get the result. How can I create a stored procedure to counter probable spelling errors and return matching results in a ranked order. Thanks
say I have a list from an sql statement (results list) this list contains 10 items
In another table, in one particular column - there is a match for one of these items from the initial list.
SO... this may be the list _____________________ itemnumber 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ------------------------------
in the other table there is a match... but just for one item on that list. ____________________ othertablefield 11 13 14 3 <------ match 99 78 ----------------------------

My company is going to start a Cancel web site so customers can cancel their future orders by simply filling out a form. I was wondering what would be the best way to compare the cancel db to db that is used to store customer information and order information.
The cancel website will only hold the name, address, and Credit Card Number used. There will not be a customer/order number. The simple Credit Card to Credit Card search will be easy but I was more worried about comparing the rest of the information in case the Credit Card search fail. I was told the "standard" look up was to take the first 3 letters of the first name and the last 3 letters of the last name. If that comes up with more then one record, take that set and see if the zip code matches up and/or part of the street address matches up (counting we do not have very reliable people inputting the information into the system is not going to help this search).
Anyway, any suggestions on comparing the data would be great.
Through out the table any number of the columns can be null.
I wish to remove rows from this table where the columns values are contained in another row i.e Row 2 above is contained within row 3. Similarly, row 3 is contained within row 4. So, the only rows I want from the sample data above are rows 1, 4 and 5.
I hope I have explained my query adequately, and any help would be great appreciated. (Before I go mad...!)
Hi everyone. I'm developing a web search engine using asp and SQL Server 2000. I need to return records that matches with a string entered by users. In example, suppose my database to have this structure and it's filled like this:
ID NAME KEYWORDS --- ------- ----------- AA025 NAME1 attached, atic, common, business, hotels AA026 NAME2 headache, medicin, aspirins, heat, health AA027 NAME3 at, services, music, electronics
suppose that user enters 'at'. By now, i'm using this pattern '%<input_text>%'. So in this example, pattern would be '%at%'. As i remarked in the fields above, the three fields matches, and that's not what i'm looking for. I want that the result of that query be just the last field, with 'AA027' ID. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers.
I'm getting the following error when running dbcc checkdb and no clue as to what to do.
Msg 8992, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Check Catalog Msg 3853, State 1: Attribute (referenced_major_id=1328111872,referenced_minor_id=5) of row (class=0,object_id=1795589535,column_id=0,referenced_major_id=1328111872,referenced_minor_id=5) in sys.sql_dependencies does not have a matching row (object_id=1328111872,column_id=5) in sys.columns.
What can be done with Sql Server for this problem?
In this query:
select A, B, C from (select A, B, C from table1) as G1, (select A, B, C from table2) as G2
where G1.A = G2.A and G1.B = G2.B and G1.C = G2.C
a record in table1 can be matched with more than one record in table2, and I don't have any other field in the tables that helps me link one G1 record to a specific G2 record. What can I do to match each G1 record to only one (if any) G2 record (if there are two records in table2 which are identical, I want the query to choose one of them and leave the other one unmatched)? Another question: is there a way to count records and attribute them a unique number? What is an index?
hi allI want to write a sotred procedure which has a parameter,called@name.The SQL statement must return all rows where this parameter is asubatring of a special column called FirstName.This procdeure do thesame ,but return all rows where @name is the exact matching.whatshould I do?/*This procedure return the exact matching*/CREATE PROCEDURE substring@name varchar(50)ASSELECT *FROM table1WHERE (table1.firstName LIKE @name);
When I write the above query, I want to exclude the AddIDs that have a Name_Full of DAVIELT. In the Name_Full column the only difference between the two strings is the "T" in DAVIELT.
Please note that it has to use a LIKE statement. The code is already written that way and I do not have control over it.
We are in initial phase of designing an application whose primary purpose is to match a list of loan defaulters with bank's customer database.
Let me make the picture more clearer to you,
There is a list of defaulters which contains about 1500000 names (Primary names and Aliases e.t.c), related to a person.
On the other hand there is database which contains bank's customer's (about 20, 00000 records) data.
We will have to run batch a scan for name matching against defaulters list to the current customer base of bank to check if any of existing customer is in defaulter's list.
This whole exercise of name matching should be finished in 4 to 5 hours (as required by user/client).
How can I optimize my data base design or processing logic to achieve this goal,
Should I use full text query or I should load data related to names in memory than carry out some logic for name match. These are two my primary thoughts.
