App_Data Mdf File Quesiton
Apr 22, 2008Hello,
I have a application that has SQL database mdf file attached. The connection string is
<connectionStrings>
<add name="DBConnection" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:InetputwwwrootmyAPPmyDB.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"/>
</connectionStrings>
The web application works in my local that has SQL server 2005 installed. After I moved it to web server that does't have SQL server installed, I got the below error:
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
Does that mean the web server machine must have SQL server 2005 installed to run the applicaiton? Usually we just directly connect to a physical SQL server. This is my first time use the mdf.
Thanks in advance!
Recursive Query Quesiton - Table Function
Jul 20, 2005I have a database which stores information about organisms collectedduring sediment toxicology research. For each sample, organisms insediment are collected and identified taxonomically (Order, Family,Genus, Species).Taxonomy lookup information in the database is stored in a recursivetable in the form:TSN (taxa serial number)Rank (Order, Family, Genus, Species)NameParent_TSN (related Taxa at higher taxonomic level)When the number of a particlar organism collected is entered into thedatabase, the count is stored along with the lowest level TSN theorganisms were identified to.Okay - now the problem. Depending on the type of analysis being done,a user may want organism counts at the lowest level, or rolled up to ahigher taxonomic level (usually Family). Can I write a recursivefunction which will cycle through the Taxonomy database, and providethe name of the organism at the appropriate taxonomic level? Is this areasonable approach with regard to speed and efficiency?Something Like:SELECT sample_id, 'Get Name Function(Rank, TSN)', Sum([count]) ASNoTaxa FROM dbo.tblbenthicResults could then be grouped and summed on the Name, to summarisedata for each sample/taxa.Is this a reasonable approach? Or is there a better one? Did I explainthe problem well enough?Thanks in advance,Tim
View 6 Replies View RelatedAre Embedded Views (Views Within Views...) Evil And If So Why?
Apr 3, 2006Fellow database developers,I would like to draw on your experience with views. I have a databasethat includes many views. Sometimes, views contains other views, andthose views in turn may contain views. In fact, I have some views inmy database that are a product of nested views of up to 6 levels deep!The reason we did this was.1. Object-oriented in nature. Makes it easy to work with them.2. Changing an underlying view (adding new fields, removing etc),automatically the higher up views inherit this new information. Thismake maintenance very easy.3. These nested views are only ever used for the reporting side of ourapplication, not for the day-to-day database use by the application.We use Crystal Reports and Crystal is smart enough (can't believe Ijust said that about Crystal) to only pull back the fields that arebeing accessed by the report. In other words, Crystal will issue aSelect field1, field2, field3 from ReportingView Where .... eventhough "ReportingView" contains a long list of fields.Problems I can see.1. Parent views generally use "Select * From childview". This meansthat we have to execute a "sp_refreshview" command against all viewswhenever child views are altered.2. Parent views return a lot of information that isn't necessarilyused.3. Makes it harder to track down exactly where the information iscoming from. You have to drill right through to the child view to seethe raw table joins etc.Does anyone have any comments on this database design? I would love tohear your opinions and tales from the trenches.Best regards,Rod.

View 1 Replies View RelatedRecompiling Views That Reference Other Views
Jun 28, 2007Hello.
Newbie here. I've only been using SQL for about a year now and have some minor questions about sql objects that reference other objects.
We have some views which reference other views in the joins. I will call one the primary view and the one being referenced in the joins as the secondary view.
Recently we made changes to the secondary view.
After which the primary views which referenced it would not work because of this change and had to be 'refreshed' by using drop/create scripts which essentially just dropped it and recreated the exact same view. I do not recall the exact error message that was returned other than it seemed to suggest that it could no longer see the secondary view since it had been changed. Nothing in the primary view was changed in any way, just the secondary.
Some here where I work have suggested off hand that this was a recompile of the primary view because the contents of the secondary changed.
My questions are:
1. Exactly why did this happen and is there a proper name for it when it does?
2. The same problem does not seem to occur when we have stored procedures referencing views in the joins which had just been changed. Why is that?
Thanks for any help on the matter. I greatly appreciate it.

Views Dependent On Other Views
Mar 14, 2006Hello There,I'm trying to create a view that has calculations dependent oncalculations, where the problem resides is that each time I make acalculation I must create an intermediate view so I can reference aprevious calculation.for example lets say I have my_table that has columns a & b. now I wanta view that has a & b, c = a + b, and d = c + 1.this is grossly simplified, the calculations I actually use are fairlycomplex and copying / pasting them is out of the question.so what I have is my_view_a which makes column c, and my my_view_finalwhich makes column d (however, in my real application I have 5 of theseviews, a/b/c/d/e/)is there anyway I can consolidate all these views into one? I wasthinking of using a stored procedure with temp tables or somethingalong those lines.I just which I can use the aliases that I create for c in d in onestep.any insight would be greatly appreciated.

SQL Views
Oct 18, 2005Can SQL Views insert to the tables they are created from?I have a database that is not well structured. It has a lot of redundency. What I want to do is create a SQL View that brings in all the data I need and have my application use that new SQL View instead of the data tables. Then I want to be able to insert new information to a SQL View that actualy gets inserted into the tables that the SQL Viewer is created from.Can this be done?Does this make any sense?

the select statements are joined with other tables and views.....

But the strange thing is that if i execute the view individually once and again execute the query it works fine.......and later it justs works fine....
Can anyone tell why is it like that.......

SP's And Views
May 23, 2000Is there a performance hit running a sp against a view versus a base table. The view just excludes
several of the records based on some criteria, and all the data I will be retreiving is included in
the view. Or should I just stick my criteria in the SP to exclude the data?

SQL Views
Sep 26, 2005My First time building "Views" in SQL...... I'm trying to figure out how to return a 1 instead of a two when I Count the number of records that return inn my view.
here's what I have;
SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.idCalendar, dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.erNum, dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.PayDate,
COUNT(dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.TransAmt) AS Shifts, dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.[Employee Number], dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.YCode,
dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.XCode, dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.ZCode, dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.eeLink
FROM dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet INNER JOIN
dbo.tbl_SysVarRestEeShiftPayCodes ON dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.Code = dbo.tbl_SysVarRestEeShiftPayCodes.PayCode INNER JOIN
dbo.tbl_SysVarRestEeShiftRules ON dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.YCode = dbo.tbl_SysVarRestEeShiftRules.YCode AND
dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.ZCode = dbo.tbl_SysVarRestEeShiftRules.ZCode
WHERE (dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.Sequence <> N'0') AND (dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.Week < 3)
GROUP BY dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.idCalendar, dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.erNum, dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.PayDate, dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.TransAmt,
dbo.tbl_SysVarRestEeShiftRules.DailyHours, dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.[Employee Number], dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.XCode,
dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.YCode, dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.ZCode, dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.eeLink, dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.Sequence,
dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.Week
HAVING ('IIf' > '1,1,0') AND ('if' > '1,1') AND (dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.erNum LIKE N'5648 ') AND (SUM(dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.TransAmt)
>= dbo.tbl_SysVarRestEeShiftRules.DailyHours) AND (dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.PayDate = CONVERT(DATETIME, '2005-09-06 00:00:00', 102)) AND
(COUNT(dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.TransAmt) > 0)
ORDER BY dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.PayDate, dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.[Employee Number]
When it counts shifts, I only want to return a maximum of i, as in either you had a shoft that day, or not. I gave up trying to figure out the "IF" string in SQL, and for the life of me I can not figure this out.
Does anyone know a good site with info on how to construct an SQL View?

Apr 25, 2008Hi,
I have a SQL server: SQL2005
2 databases
db_repl: contains replicated data from mainframe
db_my: my database
db_my.vwRepl_WorkOrders: Select 1,2,3 from db_repl.dbo.WorkOrders
db_my.vwWorkOrdersOpen: select 1,2,3 from db_my.vwRepl_WorkOrders where Status=1
which approach is more optimal to do in order to find open work orders from Texas:
[select 1,2,3
from db_repl.dbo.workOrders where Status=1 and State=1
or
select 1,2,3
from db_my.vwWorkOrdersOpenwhere where State=1]
Is it best practice to use 'subviews' that acess db_repl directly or acess views in my_db that acess db_repl (2 hops or more if views call other views that call other views) Answer might be the obvious but just in case I am missing something here .
Thanks!
Need Help On VIEWS
Apr 17, 2007Can someone tell me when I would get an error like the one below:
"Update or insert of view or function failed because it contains a derived or constant field."
Here is how I create a VIEW
CREATE VIEW vSample
AS
SELECT ilm.ITEM_ID,
CAST (ilm.CURRENT_QUANTITY AS INT) CURRENT_QUANTITY
FROM SAMPLE_1 AS ilm INNER_JOIN SAMPLE_2 AS ilm2
on ilm.ID = ilm2.ID
Now, I am trying to update data using the view
UPDATE [vSample] SET [CURRENT_QUANTITY] = 598.00 WHERE (1 = 1)
I have tried casting the number 598.00 as int and no luck.
Can someone please help or guide me on this problem?

Top And Views
Sep 11, 2006Hi all,We have a big table connected to a web server, and I want the number ofrows to be limited that get returned.So I could do something like this:select top 10 *from objectorder by codeI then realised looking at the help file, because the "order by" clauseis set the SQL Server has to build the complete dataset, do the orderby and then filter it to the first ten rows.So I was wondering if I put the query into a view like so :create view vw_object asselect top 10 *from objectThen ran the query like so:select *from vw_objectorder by codewould the SQL server just get the top 10 rows from the view first, thenapply other order by on it afterwards?

Jul 20, 2005I've searched for information on this but so far have not been able tofind any advice.We have several databases running on SQL Server 7.0 that areessentially identical in structure but are used for different data.There are several tables that are identical in all databases.Currently, we make updates to those tables in one database andpropogate the new versions of those tables to the other databases.The maintenance to keep after this is somewhat problematic in that theuser, or dba, has to initiate some action to apply the update to alltables anytime a change is made. An idea I have to simplify thisprocess is create views that access the data in a central location.I would create a database for these shared tables, and replace thetables in each individual database with a view of the same name. Theother nice thing about this solution is it is transparent toapplications that rely on this data. I contemplated using the shareddatabase by making code changes to change all the references to thosetables to DB..table, but that would take considerable man hours. Cananyone give me a reason why this would not be a good idea? Thanks.

Feb 8, 2008Hello... how to update from Views.?
View 3 Replies View RelatedSQL Views
Jan 27, 2008 If 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?
