Querying Large Database
Mar 2, 2005I need to query a database with about 3 million records using a 'like' statement on various varchar columns. I've have a non-clustered index on the columns included in my query, but the performance is still pretty slow. Can anyone suggest ways to increase the speed of my queries? Does full-text indexing improve performance or does it just facilitate more advanced searches (which I don't need)? Would char instead of varchar datatypes be faster?
thanks!
Querying To Mysql Database
Sep 20, 2007Hi, I have been using Microsoft Access for a couple of years and we have just switched to SQL Server. However, I'm having problems querying the Mysql databases our company has in place. I have managed to establish connections in the Visual Studio but can't seem to link tables from two different databases like I could in Access. Is this possible? Also, is it possible to connect to the mysql database via management studio? Apologies for my complete lack of knowledge!
View 4 Replies View RelatedQuerying Reportserver Database
Mar 24, 2008Hi everybody,
Our SRS reporting security model had to be designed so that the access is by individual report basis and by user. I cannot give access to individual reports based on windows AD group. Because everybody in that group does not need to have access to a particular report. Two people from one AD group needs access to say Report1. Only one person need to have access to Report2 etc.... Creating lot of AD groups for the security is also not advisable.
Right now I can tell right away users having access to a particular report as the number of reports and the users is small. But I want to design a report that can give me a list of users who have access to a specific report.
How do I query the reportserver database to get this information. I mean is this information saved in any of the tables?
Can you please give any info that you know of such information?
Thank you in advance for all your help,
Advise On Querying A Database Daily
Jun 2, 2004I am implementing an application that is looking into another System’s database (DBF). I need to query out new orders that have been put in daily. What is the best way to handle this situation? Should I write a service or have a trigger setup in MSDE? I just need to do a simple SELECT statement that grabs orders between a date range and update my SQL database (MSDE). I am not looking for specific code examples, just a solution.
What are my choices?
Thanks,

Querying DB2 Database With Reporting Service
Jan 24, 2005People
I'm in a trouble.
So, I need to query some data in DB2 with Reporting Service.
I don't know if there's a way to do it, without using DTS Package, because if I did it, I'd be replicating it, and it's not the case. 'Cause I just want to query the data in DB2 and not bring the data to SQL.
There's a provider that I can do it?
Suppose I use a Linked Server, and add a Net-Library based on their Operational System, it would resolve? If not, what would be the best way of resolving this trouble??
Querying Table In Arbitrary Database
May 1, 2006Would appreciate some help with this one. I need to run a query on a known table an arbitrary database. The DB name will be selected at runtime.
What I've tried:
DECLARE @DBName varchar(10)
SET @DBName = 'WBTST'
SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT Col1, Col2
FROM [@DBName].dbo.Table1
GROUP BY Col1
Result:
Invalid object name '@DBName.dbo.UPR00100'.
I've also tried without the square brackets around @DBName in the FROM clause. This results in: Incorrect syntax near '.'.

Stored Procedure Querying Another Database
Feb 6, 2007Hello,I need to come up with a stored procedure that will allow me to readdata from another database. The database I need to read the data fromis a UniData residing on a Unix server. The stored procedure needs toreside on my sql 2005 server. The task is very simple in Access as wehave ODBC connections set up to the UniData via Informix (or IBM)UniData ODBC drivers. I can easily combine my UniData and Sql Servertables from within access. However, I can't seem to find a way toreplicate the same behavior in MS SQL Stored Procedure without the useof Access. Is that even possible?Thanks,Marek

Determining Database Role Of Querying User
Dec 7, 2007I know that I can use:
IS_MEMBER('MyRoleName') = 1
to determine if a user is a member of a predetermined role, but how do I ask what the role name of the querying user is instead? Basically I want to do something like:
SELECT * FROM CityTable WHERE City IN (SELECT City FROM CitySecurity WHERE SelectGroup = ROLE_NAME)
I'm doing this because the "CitySecurity" table contains security information from another system that has been imported into SQL Server, where the 'SelectGroup', as part of process, will be named the same as the SQL Server role.

Throwing Error When Querying The Image Of Database In SQL Server 2000.
Oct 3, 2007
I created an Image for the Database in sqlserver 2000. When I am querying directly the database as "Select * from employee", it is returning the result set.
But, when I am querying Database image with same query. It is giving error
Server: Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name 'Employee'
It is expecting the Database Owner. If I do query like "Select * from [Owner].employee", it is working fine.
My requirement is not use owner in queries, it should be simple query ("Select * from employee").
Can any one, help me out.
Thanks in advance.

Is there any way to deploy reports to a Report Manager in SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 if the reports query SQL Server 2000 databases? Or are only 2005 databases able to deploy to the web?
Also, if I have a report that queries both, can I deploy it to the web on the 2005 Report Manager with a linked server to the 2000 server?
Querying Help
Sep 9, 2007
I'm a newbie to SQL and wanted to see if someone could help me write a query. I store historical options data in a SQL data base and I'm trying to create a query that will retrieve all ATM (at the money options).
For each unique stock symbol (STOCK_SYMBOL) in my database find the strike price (STRIKE) which is closest to the stock price (UND_LAST). This will be refined by the EXPIRATION and OPT_TYPE
The following query returns all options not just ATM options.
SELECT STOCK_SYMBOL, UND_LAST, STRIKE, EXPIRATION FROM DATA
WHERE EXPIRATION > '2007-02-01 00:00:00'
AND EXPIRATION < '2007-02-28 00:00:00'
AND OPT_TYPE = 'CALL'

Querying SAP Through
Nov 8, 2007I am using MS SQL Server 2005 Import and Export Wizard (.net framework Data Provider for mySAP Business Suite. )
as a interface between SAP and MS SQL 2005.
Once the connection is created i can use basic query to fetch the data from SAP tables
ie., SELECT * FROM AFPO
But say I want to EXTRACT data just for month of July from AFPO.
AFPO does not have date field so you have to join AFPO to AUFK and AUFK to COEP to fetch the date as a criteria to restrict data for the month of July .
This can be done in ABAP by view or Interim Table, if you have Developer Key.
Can anyone please tell me if aforesaid is possible with MS SQL Server 2005 Import and Export Wizard query ?
Querying By A Date
Nov 9, 2006Hello,
I want to find all the entries where the date field is a specific date; so I may have 5 entries with the date 1/1/2006, and I want to find all of those. However, datetime fields in SQL Server also have the time, so how do you handle that? Can you just say where requestdate = getdate() to get all of the entries that have records for today?
How does time affect this?

Querying SQL Views
Jan 27, 2008If you create a view such as CREATE VIEW TestView AS Select * FROM customers_table WHERE CustomerID between 213 AND 3443 Each time you want to select from the view - is the View going to perform the WHERE clause on the customers_table, or not? Or does the view already have the virtual rows?, meaning it does not have to perform a where clause (WHERE CustomerID between 213 AND 3443) on the customers_table, and just performs an inner join with the rows it already has?

where type = 'Extra Mailbox'
and active = 1
and value not in
(select login from view)
order value
The view returns a list of logins and the type field is also a list of logins. I want to filter the list of logins that do not appear in the subquery....

Querying Two Tables
May 23, 2008This is my problem
Table A Columns:
OriginatingNumber,
TerminatingNumber
Both of these columns contain npanxx numbers which would be the first 6 digits of a phone number, example 217345 which is in illinois.
Table B Columns:
npanxx,
state
table B hold all npanxx numbers in the united states and what state it pertains to.
what i need to do is run a query to check and see what state the OriginatingNumber and the TerminatingNumber are in and decide if both numbers passed are in the same state or not.
so for example in Table A Row 1: OriginatingNumber is 217345 and the TerminatingNumber is 309454. I need to check both of these numbers against table B and it would return that both numbers are in IL. Basically I need to return a result of yes or no. yes they are in the same state or no they are not in the same state.
Any help would be great

Querying Table More Than Once
Jun 12, 2008Hi All
Thx in advanced for any help anyone can offer me.
I have 2 tables Staff and Class which are as follows
Staff
ID (Primary Key)
FirstName
MiddleName
Surname
Etc. . .
Class
ID (Primary key)
LessonTemplateID
TeacherID
TermID
AssistantID
LessonTemplateID and TermID link to other tables which i don't need right now.
The Class.TeacherID and Class.AssistantID both link to the Staff.ID
I am trying to create a query where i can say i want to select a class.ID of lets say 12 and display both the Teachers name and the Assistants Name.
If i do just one join between Staff.ID and lets say Class.TeacherID all is fine and i can display the teacher.FirstName for a particular class.ID. However my problem is when im trying to display both teacher and assistant. Every time i try to create a query to do this the query comes back blank.
Im really stuck on this and just can't figure it out (is it even possible?).
Thx for any help Scott.

Querying Other Databases
Apr 21, 2007Hi All,
I am very new to sql and I am not really sure of what I am doing.
I have a bit of a complicated stored procedure that I am trying out. There is 3 parts to it to search for new articles,updates and discontinued articles for a particular Supplier. Right now I am just trying to get the first part working - I am trying to query another database that has 4 tables, 2 are joined ActiveArticle & ActiveArticlePrice and the other 2 are also joined UpdateArticle & UpdateArticlePrice. But all tables also hold data for ALL Suppliers, they are recognised by a GUID - SupplierGuid.
I want to compare them to each other to see if there are any new articles added to the Update tables. This is what I have so far, I was hoping someone could tell me if they see some obvious mistakes(I'm sure theres many!). For the first select, I tried adding a couple of parameters Flag and Text to use so that I can order it all once i have the 3 parts working. But I don't know the syntax is right, because then I also want to select all fields in both tables?.
CREATE PROCEDURE Portal_GetPriceListUpdates
(
@SupplierGUID uniqueidentifier
)
AS
SELECT 'A' AS FLAG, 'New Product' AS TEXT, * FROM SupplierUnits.UpdateArticle UA, SupplierUnits.UpdateArticlePrice UAP WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT * FROM UA, UAP WHERE UA.SupplierGuid=@SupplierGUID AND UA.SupplierArticleNumber NOT IN (SELECT SupplierArticleNumber FROM SupplierUnits.ActiveArticle.SupplierArticleNumber))
GO
I would appreciate any help!

Querying A Linked DB Through ASP.NET
Sep 8, 2007Guys ...
I have a SQL SERVER 2005 running on my local machine. My local machine is also configure for web applications through IIS.
There is a remote oracle db, which is maintained by another department. They gave us read only access but they discourage web access over their oracle database.
Even if you try to access it through web ... they come to know that certain logins are trying to access it through web ... How ... i dont know.
Now what i did is linked that oracle database with my SQL server 2005 and developed an ASP.NET application which is indirectly accessing oracle database though my SQL Server 2005.
Whenever a user visits my web application on the backend the authentication done on my sql server but the query runs on linked oracle server... as I open connection to my sql server 2005
do you guys think that Oracle database administrator can ever know that his oracle db is access through a web application. whereas they allow us to copy required data on our machines through SQL Server 2005?

Jan 31, 2007I realize that this may not be the correct ng for this question, andif so, I'd appreciate a pointer to the correct group.I am not including DDL/DML for this question, because I do not believeit is relevant.What I have is a SQL query, which when executed in Query Analyzertakes about 10-12 seconds. From the time I issue the query, I see aninitial lag of about 1 seconds after which the grid starts gettingpopulated, and then runs its course.The UI responsiveness is impressive. Almost immediately, well, within1 second at most, I see data appear from the server into my queryanalyzer grid.I'd like to get the same responsiveness if possible on my clientapplication written in C# using ADO.NET.I use the SqlDataReader class off the SqlCommand class to make thesame query (identical), and yet it takes close to 9 or 10 secondsbefore even the first row is retrieved by the application. I am notsaying that it takes 9 or 10 second for my DataGrid to start beingpopulated; it is simply that the first Read operation of theSqlDataReader after I connect (which is instantaneous), that takes 9to 10 seconds. Once the data retrieval starts, the grid populates inshort order.Are there any pointer by which I can get just a few rows fast enoughto give the user the impression that the query is executing. In otherwords, what techniques can I use to get the same sort ofresponsiveness as in the SQL query analyzer?In case it is relevant, there are some 250,000 rows returned by thequery.Thanks for all helpful responses in advance.
