I graduated from college about three years ago and have been working as a programmer using MS SQL 2000 and even though I've learned a TON in these past three years I know there is tons more I can learn.
Because my company uses Microsoft SQL Server 2000 I'd like to focus on that, but anything ANSI-SQL is perfectly fine.
So... what are some good books on SQL query optimization and other advanced SQL topics?
Thanks in advance...
Hello,
I know the basics of DTSs and have been using them for a while. Now I REALLY want to learn the advanced concepts related to DTS's e.g.
How to make use of the "Inner Package Global Variables" Tab (which is visible in the DTS Designer "window")
How to make use of the "Outer Package Global Variables" Tab (which is visible in the DTS Designer "window")
How to make use of the "Outer Package Global Variables" Tab (which is visible in the menu bar option #4 Designer "window")
Thanks.

is something wrong with this webite or is it moderated?
i have tried 5 times to post and it never appears. i just get a brief message flash after posting that says 'if xxxx has chosen to moderate.... you will be taken to that thread' then i go to that thread. no post.
if i resubmit, i get '...duplicate post in last 5 minutes' - if it's duplicate, where is the post? this forum is becoming too frustrating for me to use.
Where are we suppossed to ask questions about Sql Server 2008 (Katmai)? The connect site points people to the Sql Server forum here.

Hello dear coders
I have two tables (Members and Blogs)
I want to get the last posts of my user group 2 for each user i want to see this sentences
i-developer : last post on 5 May 2007 at 3.55 am
kingalone: last post 0n 6 June 2007 at 400 am
so i tried a lot of sql queries but none of them succed
my codes are;
SELECT Members.Username, Blogs.IsPublished, Blogs.PublishedDate
FROM Members INNER JOIN
Blogs ON Members.MemberID = Blogs.MemberID
WHERE (Members.RoleID = 2)
ORDER BY Blogs.EntryID
group by Username
select Max(EntryID),MemberID from Blogs where RoleID = 2
with FilteredLastPost ( MemberID,EntryID,PublishedDate)
as
(
select MemberID,EntryID,PublishedDate from Blogs where IsPublished = 1 and MemberID in( (select MemberID from Members where RoleID = 2)) order by EntryID desc, MemberID asc
)
select MemberID from FilteredLastPost
select distinct Blogs.MemberID,EntryID,PublishedDate from Blogs
right join Members on Members.MemberID = Blogs.MemberID
where not PublishedDate ='' and IsPublished = 1 and Members.RoleID = 2
order by EntryID desc, PublishedDate desc
select DISTINCT MemberID, EntryID, PublishedDate DISTINCT IsPulished from Blogs where IsPublished = 1 and not PublishedDate ='' and MemberID in ( select MemberID from Members where RoleID = 2 )
Is it possible to send a email after a certain date has pass by. And 2 days after the email has been sent the post should be removed if the member doesn't answer the message.
example: The posts should not be older then 2 months. When they get older than 2 months the SQL-Server detects this post and sends a messegae to the member if he wants to renew it. If he ignors it for 2 days after the email the post will be removed from the database. (Some posts have images also, They should also be removed from the harddrive)
Is this possible in MSSQL-Server to send email?
If someone could tell me how to create this.
I'll try to explane what I am looking for.
I'd like to select from a table, let say with 2 variables. One with a currency and one with integer. The integer value is a number between 0 and 255. The integer value represents a value of what kind of BIT is turned on in one BYTE.
Down to business.
I am looking for all BYTES with the fifth BIT = 1 as in example 00001000.This represents the value of 16. This value is an integer in my table. But as you see, the BYTE has a number of different values with the fifth=1 as the rest of the BITS can be 1 as in example 01011000 = 26.
Down to code.
Tablename = myMoney
Column Name = mCurrency; Data Type = decimal(18,2)
Column Name = bit5; Data Type = int
Code Block
SELECT sum(mCurrency)
FROM myMoney
WHERE somefunction(bit5) = 1
I have made the code in VB some time ago but this time I need to do the aclculation in the SQL server.

Hi !
i am developing feature like blogs where a user posts but what i am looking for a stored procedure which could count that how many post were made in a particular month like
jan2008 (3)
feb2008 (8)
so any one could provide me helping link....
So I have simple forum. At main page I have gridView which display topics. When I go to topic #5 (for example) I use repeater to display posts and authors. Here is a code: SELECT aspnet_Users.UserName, forum_posts.post_id,forum_posts.post_content, forum_posts.topic_id, forum_posts.post_date FROM aspnet_Users INNER JOIN forum_posts ON aspnet_Users.uID = forum_posts.user_id WHERE (forum_posts.topic_id = @topic_id) Now I have a problem - how can I display with each user his number of posts - eventually how can I display for example if he has 25 posts - one star, 50 posts - two stars, or maybe display "Starter" range, etc. How to make this, cause I don't have any idea.
View 9 Replies View RelatedLet's say a user profile page on a website contains a description about a car that the user wants to sell. The user could try to be wise and write something very short like "buy my car" or the user could write a very lengthy description of his car to convince the buyer to make the purchase.
Or somebody creates a thread in a forum or replies to a topic (much like what we do here).
In these instances, what is the most efficient manner of storing the high-character content in these examples with SQL Server 2005? Keep in mind that a user could make a 2-character post like "OK" or could write a long reply or create a huge profile. So the data type has to be efficient and flexible. Judging from the list of available types in my Express 2005, I would guess the varchar(MAX) or the text data types could be used. Or would I use some other data type?
TIA.
I use Widows Vista Business, have uninstalled all previous versions of SQL before installing SQL 2005 Express.
At first, I faced "Receiving WMI configuration error. SQL Server System Configuration cannot be executed due to to WMI configuration on this computer Error:2147749896 (0x80041008)."
Then, I tried this cmd someone posted as:

Why the different dates
Hi,
I get this error dialog when I try to open all the rows of any table from Enterprise manager..
Any help would be really appreciated..
Thanks,
-Srini.
SQL Server 2005 9.0.3161 on Win 2k3 R2
I receive the following error:
"Error: 8624, Severity: 16, State: 1 Internal Query Processor Error: The query processor could not produce a query plan. For more information, contact Customer Support Services."
I have traced this to an insert statement that executes as part of a stored procedure.
INSERT INTO ledger (journal__id, account__id,account_recv_info__id,amount)
VALUES (@journal_id, @acct_id, @acct_recv_id, @amount)
There is also an auto-increment column called id. There are FK contraints on all of the columns ending in "__id". I have found that if I remove the contraint on account__id the procedure will execute without error. None of the other constraints seem to make a difference. Of course I don't want to remove this key because it is important to the database integrity and should not be causing problems, but apparently it confuses the optimizer.
Also, the strange thing is that I can get the procedure to execute without error when I run it directly through management studio, but I receive the error when executing from .NET code or anything using ODBC (Access).
Hey, i've written a query to search a database dependant on variables chosen by user etc etc. Opened up a new sqldatasource, entered the query shown below and went on to the test query page.

I'm trying to find the command to open up an odbc conection inside sql2005 express. I only have ues of an odbc connector, we're conection to remedy. We will eventually be using stored procedures to extract the data we need from remedy and doing additional data crunching. I'm a foxpro programmer so once I get the correct syntax for making the odbc connector I shold be ok. Also I need a really good advanced book on sql2005. The type of book that would have my odbc answer. I've spent all morning trying to find this information and was unable to.
Thanks in advance

We have a issue with a MDS server that have been over us for a couple of days, the original error msg from SQL Server Engine is the one "The query processor could not produce a query plan" but the ones we get on the Excel-Addin are "Sequece contains no elements" or "The value cannot be null" T

• We are using the last version of Excel Add-in

how do I get the variables in the cursor, set statement, to NOT update the temp table with the value of the variable ? I want it to pull a date, not the column name stored in the variable...
create table #temptable (columname varchar(150), columnheader varchar(150), earliestdate varchar(120), mostrecentdate varchar(120))
insert into #temptable
SELECT ColumnName, headername, '', '' FROM eddsdbo.[ArtifactViewField] WHERE ItemListType = 'DateTime' AND ArtifactTypeID = 10
--column name
declare @cname varchar(30)
[code]...
-- The 3rd query uses an incorrect column name in a sub-query and succeeds but rows are incorrectly qualified. This is very DANGEROUS!!!
-- The issue exists is in 2008 R2, 2012 and 2014 and is "By Design"
set nocount on
go
if object_id('tempdb.dbo.#t1') IS NOT NULL drop table #t1
if object_id('tempdb.dbo
[code]....
This succeeds when the invalid column name is a valid column name in the outer query. So in this situation the sub-query would fail when run by itself but succeed with an incorrectly applied filter when run as a sub-query. The danger here is that if a SQL Server user runs DML in a production database with such a sub-query which then the results are likely not the expected results with potentially unintended actions applied against the data. how many SQL Server users have had incorrectly applied DML or incorrect query results and don't even know it....?
Hello everybody,

I run it in query analyser and works fine, but when I try to run in Reporting Services, Visual studio stops responding and the cpu reaches 100 %.
I realize that when I cut off the if clauses, then it works at Reporting services.
Does anybody know what is happening?
Why the query works in query analyser and doesn't work in Reporting Service ?
Thanks,
Maurício

Since the application is from a vendor and I have no control over its code, how can improve this sitation?
For each customer, I want to add all of their telephone numbers to a different column. That is, multiple columns (depending on the number of telephone numbers) for each customer/row. How can I achieve that?
I want my output to be
CUSTOMER ID, FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, TEL1, TEL2, TEL3, ... etc
Each 'Tel' will relate to a one or more records in the PHONES table that is linked back to the customer.
I want to do it using SELECT. Is it possible?
do i need to nest a query in RS if i want a calculated column to be compared against a multi value variable? It looks like coding WHERE calcd name in (@variable) violates SQL syntax. My select looked like
SELECT ... ,CASE enddate WHEN null then 1 else 0 END calcd name
FROM...
WHERE ... and calcd name in (@variable)
When viewing an estimated query plan for a stored procedure with multiple query statements, two things stand out to me and I wanted to get confirmation if I'm correct.
1. Under <ParameterList><ColumnReference... does the xml attribute "ParameterCompiledValue" represent the value used when the query plan was generated?
<ParameterList>
<ColumnReference Column="@Measure" ParameterCompiledValue="'all'" />
</ParameterList>
</QueryPlan>
</StmtSimple>
2. Does each query statement that makes up the execution plan for the stored procedure have it's own execution plan? And meaning the stored procedure is made up of multiple query plans that could have been generated at a different time to another part of that stored procedure?

I executed the code successfully and I got a box which asked for "Enter the query string".
I typed in the following: EXEC dbo.SalesByCategory @Seafood. I got the following box: Query attempt failed. Must declare the scalar variable "@Seafood". I am learning how to enter the string for the "SQL query programed in the subQuery_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles btnQuery.Click" (see the code statements listed above). Please help and tell me what I missed and what I should put into the query string to get the information of the "Seafood" category out.
Thanks in advance,

I have two tables .. in one (containing user data, lets call it u).The important fields are:u.userName, u.userID (uniqueidentifier) and u.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier)The second table (w) has fieldsw.delegateID (uniqueidentifier), w.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier) The SP takes the delegateID and I want to gather all the people from table u where any of the workgroupID's for that delegate match in w. one delegateID may be tied to multiple workgroupID's. I know I can create a temporary table (@wgs) and do a: INSERT INTO @wgs SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateIDthat creates a result set with all the workgroupID's .. this may be one, none or multipleI then want to get all u.userName, u.userID FROM u WHERE u.workgroupIDThis query works on an individual workgroupID (using another temp table, @users to aggregate the results was my thought, so that's included) INSERT INTO @users SELECT u.userName,u.userID FROM tableU u LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID WHERE u.workgroupID = @workGroupIDI'm trying to avoid looping or using a CURSOR for the performance hit (had to kick the development server after one of the cursor attempts yesterday)Essentially what I'm after is: SELECT u.userName,u.userID
FROM tableU u
LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID
WHERE u.workgroupID = (SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateID) ... but that syntax does not work and I haven't found another work around yet.TIA!
When I run the following query from Query Analyzer in SQL Serer 2005, I get a message back that says.
Command(s) completed successfully.
What I really need it to do is to display the results of the query. Does anyone know how to do this?
declare @SniierId as uniqueidentifierset @SniierId = '85555560-AD5D-430C-9B97-FB0AC3C7DA1F'declare @SniierAlias as nvarchar(50)declare @AlwaysShowEditButton as bitdeclare @SniierName as nvarchar (128)/* Check access for Sniier */SELECT TOP 1 @SniierName = Sniiers.SniierName, @SniierAlias = Sniiers.SniierAlias, @AlwaysShowEditButton = Sniiers.AlwaysShowEditButtonFROM SniiersWHERE Sniiers.SniierId=@SniierId
I am trying to run queries against any of the user tables in my MS SQL 7.0 database. I get a message the Query Designer encountered a query error.
We have tried rebooting the SQL Server and I am still getting these messages. Also, the SQL error logs look fine - all database
maintenance are running successfully including the DBCCs which show no errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated as we are to go
into production in a few days.
