Query Problem (lack Of Knowledge On My Part)
Jan 17, 2006
Hello,
I've been trying for a couple of days now with the following problem in SQL
Ive a table called tblRresults that has the following
Date - just a regular date
OfficeLocation - just a unique id such as a zip code
SampleType - contains things like wall, floor, beam
SampleResult - "Detected" or "NotDetected"
When populated the table can look like
12/12/05 99505 Wall Detected
12/12/05 99505 Wall NotDetected
10/04/05 99211 Beam Detected
10/04/05 99211 Beam Detected
10/04/05 99111 Floor NotDetected
10/04/05 99111 Floor NotDetected
What I want is (I guess) a crosstab query that produces the following
Date Location SampleType CountDetected CountNotDetected
12/12/05 99505 Wall 1 1
10/04/05 99211 Beam 2 0 (or null would be ok)
10/04/05 99111 Floor 0 2
Any help gratefully accepted, this has been driving me mental!
thanks

A couple of days ago I installed SQL Server 2005 developer. To pave the way for this I removed SQL Server 2000 and 2005 Express. Since then I've been unable to connect from any of my applications or websites in Visual Studio 2005 to either:- my new 2005 Developer database engine- my colleagues 2005 developer database engine. My colleague can connect to my databases from his visual studio on his machine. I am receiving unspecified OleDb errors.Anyone else had this happen? Anyone know where I should start looking? I've uninstalled all .Net frameworks and re-installed 1.1 and 2.0.Many thanks, Sam

1) if our .net app (oltp) is changed to ask sql for encryption (rather than thru .net) on server A, can server B where our wh resides, thru a linked server run an sp remotely on A and get A to provide decryption thru the keys defined there?
2)can the encryption keys etc defined on one server be imported to another server and still behave exactly the same way on the 2nd server as they do on the first? ie decrypt data originally encrypted by the first successfully.

i am in the process of creating some new reports on a new Reporting Services site
reports developed in VisualStudio2005 pointing an an AnalysisServices Cube on a (development) SQL2005 database
when i Preview the reports in Visual Studio 2005 on my development box, the reports take about 12-15 seconds to run (about 4-5 seconds before the "Report is being generated" logo appears, then another 8-10 seconds before the report appears (report is a series (1-8) of charts))
when i run the same report (with the same report criteria) via the Report Manager (pointing at the same AnalysisServices Cube), it now takes about 45 seconds to run (about 15 -16 seconds before the "Report is being generated" logo appears, then another 30 seconds before the report appears)
(n.b. this is not due to initial Report Manager start-up delays, the timings are for the second and third run of the report)
can anyone out there point me in the direction of where to look ??

I am loosing my mind on this one. I select info from a database. I then take that selected info, and select info from another table based on that. Straight forward. The CompanyKey attached to my username is 7 which displays in the ReaderResults.Text. I the following line:
selectSQL2 = "SELECT * FROM Company WHERE companyKey = ('" + CompanyKey + "')"
I can change it to:
selectSQL2 = "SELECT * FROM Company_Membership WHERE companyKey = 7 "
and it works. I have no idea what is going on. Dissapearing string? Here is the code:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
'Database ConnectionDim con As New SqlConnection("Data Source = .SQLExpress;integrated security=true;attachdbfilename=|DataDirectory|ASPNETDB.mdf;user instance=true")
'Job1 InfoDim currentUserID
currentUserID = Context.User.Identity.Name.ToString()
Label1.Text = currentUserID
Dim selectSQL1 As String
selectSQL1 = "SELECT companyKey FROM Company WHERE UserID = ('" + currentUserID + "')"Dim cmd1 As New SqlCommand(selectSQL1, con)
Dim reader As SqlDataReaderDim CompanyKey
'Job2 Info
Dim selectSQL2 As String
selectSQL2 = "SELECT * FROM Company WHERE companyKey = ('" + CompanyKey + "')"Dim cmd2 As New SqlCommand(selectSQL2, con)
'Job1 Select
Try
con.Open()
reader = cmd1.ExecuteReader()Do While reader.Read()
CompanyKey = reader("CompanyKey").ToString()
Loop
reader.Close()Catch err As Exception
ReaderError.Text = "Error selecting record."
ReaderError.Text &= err.Message
Finally
ReaderResults.Text = CompanyKey
con.Close()
End Try
'Job2 Select
Try
con.Open()
reader = cmd2.ExecuteReader()
GridView1.DataSource = reader
GridView1.DataBind()
reader.Close()Catch err As Exception
ReaderError.Text = "Error selecting record."
ReaderError.Text &= err.Message
Finally
ReaderResults.Text = CompanyKey
con.Close()
End Try

I do a lot of hiring for my company and a lot of the people I interviewsay that they are experts at SQL queries, but when I give them somethingsimple just beyond the typical SELECT type of queries, they choke.For example I have a table that looks like this:PK_ID - primary keyPARENT_ID - a FK to another row in the same tableThis essentially is a tree structure. I will ask interviewees to writea query that will return all the rows that have 2 direct children. Noone knows how to do this.I don't get it. I have done queries which boggle the mind and they arefar more complex than this.Am I asking too much?--* Don VaillancourtDirector of Software Development**WEB IMPACT INC.*phone: 416-815-2000 ext. 245fax: 416-815-2001email: Join Bytes! <mailto:donv@webimpact.com>web: http://www.web-impact.com/ This email message is intended only for the addressee(s)and contains information that may be confidential and/orcopyright.

I have SSRS 2005 SP2 configured to work in Sharepoint integration. Everything works fine except that I am not able to programmatically change any property of report viewer web part (instance) that I have added on on home page of my sharepoint site.
I can do same thing via sharepoint UI but not through program. When my programs runs it fetches all web parts been added on home page, then I need to iterate through each one and find report viewer web part.
While iterating, as soon as I arrive to report viewer web part it is named as "Error web part" with error message as
"Windows SharePoint Services cannot deserialize the Web Part. Check the format of the properties and try again"
If someone has a solution, please respond at your earlist.
Thanks

exec sp_tables_ex 'linked server'
The table_cat returned a null value. I ended up writing
select * from linked_server..schema.table and it did work. However, it was really slow. 56 seconds vs. less than a second for the pass through openquery.
My guess is that the problem is that the table_cat was null and this is why it is so slow. Is this correct? How do I resolve this speed issue?

I have a table with a column named measurement decimal(18,1). If the value is 2.0, I want the stored proc to return 2 but if the value is 2.5 I want the stored proc to return 2.5. So if the value after the decimal point is 0, I only want the stored proc to return the integer portion. Is there a sql function that I can use to determine what the fraction part of the decimal value is? In c#, I can use
dr["measurement "].ToString().Split(".".ToCharArray())[1] to see what the value after the decimal is.

Yo!
My company asked me to do a tech interview on a potential contractor for a three month assignment writing SQL Server stored procedures.
I have some things I can ask him to test his qualifications, such as cross-tab query design, UDF usage, running total queries, select first 'N' queries, Primary Keys vs Clustered Indexes, etc...
I was curious what questions other people might ask in order to assess a person's skill. Remember that this is SQL programming only, not admin stuff, and I want to ask questions with a range of difficulty from easy to head-cracker.
Any suggestions?

I am having a puzzling problem with a DTS package in SQL 2000 that uses a combination of "Execute Process Tasks" and "ActiveX Script Tasks." The issue occurs with one of (the second) the ActiveX Script Task. The script invokes a COM object that was written in C#. This COM object connects to the database and writes a record set and then calls a stored procedure.
When I run this step individually, everything works fine. When I run it as part of the package, the record set is being written but the stored procedure is not invoked (SQL Profile confirms this).
I haven't really begun a serious attempt to troubleshoot the problem, though I have played around with the Transactions and OLE DB properties of the DTS Package.
Any suggestions as to why the behavior might be different, or some straightforward tips on troubleshooting would be appreciated. I have access to the COM component source.

I need some serious help with this query...
SELECT *
FROM dbo.wce_contact
WHERE (Mail1Date IS NOT NULL)
AND (Mail2Date IS NULL)
AND (Mail3Date IS NULL)
AND (Mail4Date IS NULL)
AND (Mail5Date IS NULL)
AND (Mail6Date IS NULL)
AND (Mail7Date IS NULL)
AND (Mail8Date IS NULL)
AND (Mail9Date IS NULL)
AND (Mail10Date IS NULL)
AND (Mail11Date IS NULL)
AND (Mail12Date IS NULL)
AND (Mail14Date IS NULL)
AND (Mail15Date IS NULL)
AND (Mail16Date IS NULL)
or(IDStatus LIKE '')
or (NOT (Task LIKE '%x%'))
or (ExpressEmail LIKE '%@%')
or (WebSite NOT LIKE '')
or (Unsubscribe = 0)
or (Artwork LIKE '')
Basically the parts in red work best when they use the 'or' criteria.
My problem.
I run the query together black+red and get a different result than expected. Is there a way of saying 'do the black part first and its an imperative that the red part follows those rules on the black part of the query?' eg:
IDStatus must be LIKE '' when running the black part of the query
and expressemail must be like '%@%' on the black part of the query but not on red part of the query. So it doesnt matter that the expressemail must have idstatus like '' whilst having an @
Hope it makes sense??

I have a huge problem as mentioned in my previous queries some of my applications is using Link Server Query as "select * from sm-matrix.matrix.dbo.stage_orders" this doesn't work it gives following error:-
ODBC: Msg 0, Level 18, State 1
SqlDumpExceptionHandler: Process 62 generated fatal exception c0000005 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. SQL Server is terminating this process.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: Unspecified error]
I understand best method to use is "select * from openquery(sm-matrix,"select * from stage_orders")" but i can't do away with above mentioned query as lot of places in application it has been using.
This was working fine till i moved to Windows 2003 from Windows 2000.
Following is the error we are getting:-
SqlDumpExceptionHandler: Process 58 generated fatal exception c0000005 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. SQL Server is terminating this process..

I'm passing a variable to SQL and I want it to query a column (IP_user), but query any part of what is given. For example if I given Chris it would bring up Chris, Christian, Christine, etc. What is the syntax to do this?? thanks

I have made the following Scalar-valued function:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[TimeCalc]
(
@OriginalTime AS INTEGER
, @TenthsOrHundredths AS INTEGER -- code 2: 1/10, code 4: 1/100
)
RETURNS NVARCHAR(8)
[Code] ....
What it does is convert numbers to times
E.g.: 81230 gets divided by 10 (times in seconds: 8123). This 1 1 full minute, and the remainder = 2123 making it 1.21.23 mins)
So far so good (function works perfectly)
My question: sometimes times are in 1/100 (like above sample), sometimes in 1/10.
This means that, e.g. with a time like 3.23.40 the last zero must be deleted.
My thoughts are to use the results from the Return Case part, and as the code = 4: leave it as it is,
is the code 2 the use LEFT(... result Return Case ..., Len(..result Return Case.. - 1))
There are 5 codes: 0 1 2 3 and 4

Hi,
I've been working as a .NET developer for many years. However, my educational background isn't in IT at all, so I occasionally find that there are big gaps in my knowledge when I'm called on to do certain things.
My current role is the first one I've had where the efficiency of my database calls has needed to be top-notch. Most of my previous posts have been in building intranet functionality for medium-sized companies so it's just not been an issue and my fairly basic level of SQL knowledge has been enough to get me by.
However, I'm increasingly finding I'm needing to look stuff up, ask for help and so forth and I'm not at all sure that what I'm putting out is up to scratch. I have three main areas of concern:
1) The developers here seem to like doing a lot of the "work" of data sorting and manipulation in SQL whereas I'd previously have just grabbed the whole table and done the manipulation in .NET. I'm finding building my complex queries is just doing my head in - I'm just not used to "thinking" in the way that SQL requires which seems very different from procedural programming.
2) A lot gets said about properly indexing tables for maximum efficiency. I know what an index is and vaguely what it does, but the means of applying them to ensure the best performance is pretty much beyond me.
3) In the same manner I'm now having to worry a lot more about performance issues in my database design. I now the five normal forms and so on, but is there anything else here I need to do to maximise performance?
What I'm asking, really, is whether anyone can recommend a good source for SQL knowledge (book, site, whatever) that specifically focuses on my first problem - it'll teach me the proper way to structure my queries and think about them properly so that they don't look so damn impenetrable. It then needs to go on and address my other issues.
Any suggestions?

Greetings,I have to admit that I'm still a beginner in the database field, but I'mactively studying, and this is why I will be utterly grateful for theproper, accurate, and wise guidance to the right direction or specificpaths of database studies.I simply want to make my first major database project a "personalknowledge database" or a "personal encyclopedia", so to speak. By this Imean that I want to gather diverse, multi-format bits of knowledge intoa single database divided into major categories, sub-categories, and soon. For example, I want to scan collected articles from newspapers &magazine and save them as images, type hand-written notes into thecomputer and save them as MS Word or Text files, save audio files withsearchable keywords, even save searchable MS OneNote audio & text files,all into directories & sub-directories. Then I want to be able to searchall these files for specific words or subjects; sort them according todate, subject, etc; update, add to or append, edit, or even cut & paste(within) any of those records in the database, which rely on easilycustomizable formats like text & images (in contrast with audio files orOneNote files, for example).I also want to prevent wasting time in the future, by avoidingrepetitive, same-keywords typing for every non-text new entry, like animage or audio file, by having a customizable keyword list open (byright clicking for example), where one could mark all the relevantkeywords for the picture or audio file. Also have a short descriptionfor each one of those entries when needed. And I want to be able to addslick, good-looking graphics to the interface of the database and theforms of the records.Basically, my priorities include: saving time filling the database withknowledge, quickly & accurately finding the future targets of anysearch, presenting the search results in a highly comprehensible &organized form, and a good looking interface & forms for every entry,which are pleasing to the eye and encouraging to study.I already use graphics applications for the "looks" part. So my questionis: what are the technologies or applications that I should learn byheart and use in order to design such a database in the best way? WouldMS Access alone do it all for me? Or should I learn other technologies?I'll be grateful for anyone taking the time to help. Thanks.Sincerely,Yasso"Claiming that God does not exist because there are people suffering anddying is like saying that barbers do not exist because there are peoplewith long hair! Truth is: they suffer because they did not find God ordo not go to Him, just like the others did not find a barber or do notgo to one."*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

Hi,
I'm converting some direct SQL queries into stored procedures. The
original queries have conditional parts appended depending on certain
parameters like this:
Sql = "First part"
If certain condition then
Sql &= "Second part"
Endif
How could I do this in a stored procedure? So far I have made them like this:
IF @condition > 0
Fist part Second part
ELSE
First part
You can see that I have to maintain 'First part' in two locations. What is a better way of dealing with this?
Thanks!

I have a table called 'wp_postmeta' (Wordpress) which contains a column called 'meta_value'. A typical field in this column looks like this:
Code:
a:22:{s:12:"productimage";s:104:"http://www.disobeyclothing.com/wp-content/themes/eCommerce3/images/tshirts/SurveillanceSociety-Black.png";s:13:"productimage1";s:104:"http://www.disobeyclothing.com/wp-content/themes/eCommerce3/images/tshirts/SurveillanceSociety-White.png";s:13:"productimage2";s:0:"";s:13:"productimage3";s:0:"";s:13:"productimage4";s:0:"";
s:13:"productimage5";s:0:"";s:13:"productimage6";s:0:"";s:5:"pr
[code]...
I've tried to run the following query but each time I run it, it wipes all data in the field:
Code:
UPDATE wp_postmeta set meta_value=replace(meta_value, 'URL...')
I've also tried this query, but it has the same effect:
Code:
UPDATE wp_postmeta
SET meta_value = replace(LTRIM(RTRIM(meta_value)), URL...

Hi all,
I found an article which described about Distributed query to Oracle table with four-part name.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/294459/en-us
However, we still got the same error with MSSQL2000 sp4 and SQL2005. Any fix to this?

I have 2 tables (table1KKK, table2KKK), and want to run the same query on them by using parameter with the value "1" or "2".
Is it possible to use that parameter as a part of the queried table name?
Something like (only for demonstration €“ doesn€™t work):
Select *
From table +myParameter + kkk
Thanks in advance!
