Best Practice For Retrieving Last Record

Apr 1, 2006

Hi there, very sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this in.

I want to know what is the BEST practice, the correct Microsoft way of doing this:

basically, lets say I am inserting a new record into SQL. simple customer record:

firstname

lastname

address

city

postcode

password

dateOfRegistration (SQL has this value and the default value is the getdate())



That's all very well. I want to know how I can get the recordID for this and return that back from the caller (returning is easily done) -

You cannot really after this insertion, perform a SELECT statement to get the LAST record entered, as there maybe several records that could all be inserted at the same time by coincidence. It's not the best way of going about this.



I want to know what is the best way of getting the just inserted record's recordID - I was thinking about using date and time, manually inputting them and then using that to retrieve the last record/current inserting record but again its not the best way of going about doing this.



what is the best way?



Many thanks for your help!

Retrieving Records Within An Index Range, The Nth Record?

if I create an index for a table with some records, do you think I can retrieve records in a giving range? for example, the 5th to 10th records?Possible? How can I do it?When we insert data at the table, would the index in sequential order? How would the index be created for new inserted records?I'm using SQL 2005 Express, not SQL 2000.

Receiving System Error When Retrieving Database Record With Null Value

Sep 26, 2007

I have some VB.NET code to retrieve data from an SQL Server database and display it.  The code is as follows: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sw_calendar = calendarAdapter.GetEventByID(cid)
If sw_calendar.Rows.Count > 0 Then

lblStartDateText.Text = sw_calendar(0).eventStartDate
lblEndDateText.Text = sw_calendar(0).eventEndDate
lblTitleText.Text = sw_calendar(0).title
lblLocationText.Text = sw_calendar(0).location
lblDescriptionText.Text = sw_calendar(0).description
Else

lblStartDateText.Text = "*** Not Found ***"
lblEndDateText.Text = "*** Not Found ***"
lblTitleText.Text = "*** Not Found ***"
lblLocationText.Text = "*** Not Found ***"
lblDescriptionText.Text = "*** Not Found ***"
End If
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If all of the fields in the database has values, everything works ok.  However, if the title, location or description fields have a null value, I receive the following error message:
Unable to cast object of type 'System.DBNull' to type 'System.String'.
I've tried a bunch of different things such as:

Adding ".ToString" to the database field,
Seeing if the value is null:  If  sw_calendar(0).description = system.DBnull.value...
...but either I get syntax errors in the code, or if the syntax is ok, I still get the above error message.
Can anyone help me with the code required to trap the null within the code example I've provided?  I'm sure there are other, and better, ways to code this, but for now I'd really like to get it working as is, and then optimize the code once the application is working (...can you tell I have a tight deadline )
 
Thanks,
Brad

Error Retrieving A Record Based On 3 Parameters. Need Help With Forming My SQL Statement

May 18, 2008

I am having trouble returning the correct record with my stored procedure.
my problem is that i don't know how to structure the sql statement to do the following:
given a set of records that have the same loankey, i need to
1. find the record that has most recent date (lockExprDt)
2. for all records with that date, find the highest Lock Number (LockNo)
3. for the all the records with that date and that LockNo, find the highest extension number (Ext) 
currently my sql statement returns a record that has the most recent date. i don't now how to write the sql to further define my query to return the record that has the most recent date with highest lock number, and finally the highest extension number.
any suggestions as to what i am doing wrong. below is my slq statement. please note that i need to add the sql that will query for the max LockNo, and max Ext. Any help is greatly appreciated. thx!
select a.loankey, a.lockrate, a.investor, a.price, a.ext, a.cost, a.lockno, a.lockstatus , CASE WHEN CONVERT(CHAR(8),a.lockdate,10)='12:00:00 AM'  THEN NULL ELSE CONVERT(CHAR(8),a.lockdate,10)   END as 'LockDate' , CASE WHEN CONVERT(CHAR(8),b.lockExprDt,10)='12:00:00 AM'  THEN NULL ELSE CONVERT(CHAR(8),b.lockExprDt,10) END as 'LockExprDt'  , Case WHEN CONVERT(CHAR(8),b.lockExprDt,10)>= CONVERT(CHAR(8),GETDATE(),10) THEN datediff(day, CONVERT(CHAR(8),GETDATE(),10), CONVERT(CHAR(8),b.lockExprDt,10)) ELSE NULL END as 'Days'

Ways To Make This Work: Several Selectable Related Record For One Main Record.

Apr 6, 2007

Hey all!



Sorry for the less then descriptive post title but I didn't find a better way to describe it. I'm developing an app in the express editions of VB and SQLserver. The application is a task/resource scheduler. The main form will have a datepicker or weekly overview and show all tasks scheduled per day. The problem is, I've got one or more people assigned to tasks and I wonder what's the best way to design this. Personally, I'd go for one Task table, a People table and a table that provides a link between them (several record per task, one for each person assigned linking TaskID and PplID). However, I don't see a nice way of showing this data to the end user, allowing him to edit/add etc on ONE screen.

To fix that the only way I see is just add columns to the Task table for every person with select boxes. This way everything can be done on one simple screen. This obviously does present some future issues.

On top of this, which people are available on a day varies and there should be an option to allow a user to set who is available on a specific day. Which would lead me to my first idea and add another table that would provide this. but then I'm having design issues again for the form.



I'm kinda stuck atm, can anyone shed some light on this. I'm sure there is an elegant way of doing this but I'm failing at finding it.



Thanks in advance,

Johan

Query Timeouts When Updating A Record Retrieved Through A Websphere JDBC Datasource - Possible Record Locking Problem

Apr 7, 2008

Hi,

We're running a Sage CRM install with a SQL Server 2000 database at the back end. We're using the Sage web services API for updating data and a JDBC connection to retrieve data as it's so much quicker.

If I retrieve a record using the JDBC connection and then try and update the same record through the web services, the query times out as if the record is locked for updates. Has anyone experienced anything similar or know what I'm doing wrong? If I just use DriverManager.getConnection() to establish the connection instead of the datasource, and then continue with the same code I don't get these record locking problems. Please find more details below.

Thanks,
Sarah

The JDBC provider for the datasource is a WebSphere embedded ConnectJDBC for SQL Server DataSource, using an implementation type of 'connection pool datasource'. We are using a container managed J2C authentication alias for logging on.

This is running on a Websphere Application Server v6.1.

Code snippet - getting the record thru JDBC:


DataSource wsDataSource = serviceLocator.getDataSource("jdbc/dsSQLServer");
Connection wsCon = wsDataSource.getConnection();


// wsCon.setAutoCommit(false); //have tried with and without this flag - same results

Statements stmt = wsCon.createStatement();


String sql = "SELECT * FROM Person where personID = 12345";
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);


if(rs.next()){
System.out.println(rs.getString("lastName"));
}

if (rs != null){
rs.close();
}
if (stmt != null) {

stmt.close();
}
if (wsCon != null) {

wsCon.close();
}

SSIS: Multi-Record File Extract With 9 Record Types

Feb 26, 2008

I am attempting to create a multi-record file (as described in my last thread) and have found the following set of instructions very helpful:
http://vsteamsystemcentral.com/cs21/blogs/steve_fibich/archive/2007/09/25/multi-record-formated-flat-file-with-ssis.aspx

I have been able to create a sample file with two of my record types.

I now need to build on this further, because I have 9 record types in total that need to be extracted to a single flat file.

does anyone have any ideas how I might extend the example above to include more record types or know of another means of achieving this?

Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.

Column Locked In Record Even Though No One Accessing Record

Mar 18, 2008



Hello. I have a database with a record that has two columns locked. descrip1 and descrip2. they are both nvarchar(max) columns. These are the only two columns of the record that remain locked. I am certain no user is accessing the record. I have even moved a backup of the database to my testing computer and the lock still exists. How do I remove the lock from these two columns on that particular record.

I can edit these two columns on other records. I have researched "Unlock" on MSDN but it doesn't seem to apply to t-sql. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks. Gary.

Keep Track Of When And By Who A Record Was Created And Also When And By Who The Record Was Last Updated

May 26, 2008

I have not yet succeeded in getting an aswer to this in a previous post, so I'll try again and rephrase the question

I have 2 fields, 1 called 'Created' the other 'Updated'

I would like to create a function, user procedure ,whatever in SQL something along the lines of...

FUNCTION myUID()
RETURN Date(Today)+Time(Now)+USERNAME
END FUNCTION


so that the value returned by the above pseudo code is something like '20080526T21:01:05.620SamL' where the date part is in yyyy0m0d format

I have got this working fine for the default 'Created' field but the calculated (and persisted) field comes up with something about being non-deterministic and refuses to play

Clearly something along these lines is a very straightforward requirement (I have it working fine in my 20+ year old database) , but have spent a week trying to get an answer (even from this forum) without success, so would be grateful for any help that you can provide me with to get round this barrier

how is this achieved.

Loop Through Each Record And Then Each Field Within Each Record

I need to essentially do 2 loops. One loops through each record and then inside each record row, I want to perform an insert on each column.

Something like this maybe using a cursor or something else:

For each record in my table (I'll just use the cursor)
For each column in current record for cursor
perform some sql based on the current column value
Next
Next

So below, all I need to do is figure out how to loop through each column for the current record in the cursor

For each column in current record <---- not sure how to code this part is what I'm referring to

do some stuff here using sql for the column I'm on for this row

Value Of A Record Based On A Previous Record

Jul 20, 2005

I hope you can help me. I posted this in the microsoft sql server newsgroupa few days ago and got no response so I thought I'd try here. If I canprovide any clarification I'll be glad to do so.I'm trying to calculate a column based on the value of the previous record.I'm not very experienced with SQL-Server.I'm using the following table:CREATE TABLE tblPayment([PaymentID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,[LoanID] [int] NULL ,[PaymentPeriod] [int] NULL ,[PaymentRecDate] [datetime] NULL ,[PaymentAMT] [money] NULL)I have a view based on this table. That view has the following calculatedcolumnsBeginningBalance: For the first record, this is equal to the loan amountfrom the loan table. For each additional record this is equal to the endingbalance from the previous payment record.Interest: BeginningBalance * the monthly interest rate from the loantablePrincipal: PaymentAMT - InterestEndingBalance: BeginningBalance - PrincipalIt might seem I could use a subquery to calculate the Beginning Balance asin:SELECT LoanID, PaymentPeriod, PaymentAMT,(SELECT SUM(PaymentAMT) FROM tblPayment AS tbl1WHERE tbl1.LoanID = tblPayment.LoanID AND tbl1.PaymentPeriod <tblPayment.PaymentPeriod) AS BeginBalanceFROM tblPaymentWHERE (LoanID = @LoanID)But this will not work, because the interest is calculated on the previousmonth's balance. I need to find a way to loop through the recordset. Isthis possible?Thank you,--Derek CooperDatabase9www.database9.com

How Do I Pass A Value In The Next Record To The Current Record?

Sep 20, 2007

Hey Forum,
Below is a solution for passing a previous value (Height) to the current record in a view using two related tables (Plant= ID PK and plantHeight = ID FK) However, I was wondering how I could also do the reverse, that is, pass a next value to the current record.

Retrieving Top X Within Top Y Within Top Z ...

Nov 6, 2007

How can I efficiently retrieve the top x managers within the top y regions within the top z states within the top q countries?
 The only way I have been able to do this is to first find the top q countries, and store the list in an IN clause.  Then for each of those, find the top z states and create another IN clause that contains the country+state concatenated.  Then for each of those, find the top y regions and concatenate country+state+region.  Then finally find the top x managers within this IN clause. 
 This works fine for a few hundred records, but once it reaches the thousands, it takes much too long.  The final IN clause contains thousands of entries.
 Isn't there a simpler way to approach this, especially with SQL Server 2005?
