Related Rooms Query
Jul 20, 2005
hi, im working on this for a long time. i'm using MSsql-server2000
i have a table [visits] that records users visits to rooms. the columns are
room_id, user_id, visits.
i want to write a query that can calculate the top 10 rooms that are related
to any given room. i was thinking of firstly making a function that counts
how many users visited both room A and room B, and then running this
function on A and all other rooms, and order by the result. i keep getting
weird errors when doing that. please elaborate.

Locally I have a table named 'countrydetails' in sql server which is created by dbo. I create asp.net page trying to show the details of the country. I write a query in vb.net page and build the project and try to run it, its giving me results.
The same vb.net project is uploaded and put online and when I try to see the details of the country online inspite of having records i m getting no results. In this case the table which was created is having username other than dbo.
I want my query written in vb.net page to run irrespective of the different users who have the database table. The page should run for both dbo and other users also. How do I achieve this? Please advise.
Thanks.
Regards,

Hello all,
I have a job in sqlserver 2005 that has 2 steps. step 1 actualy verifies the netbackup files and step2 deletes those files from the disk if it is already being backed in netbackup. But this job is failing and in the job history i am seeing the errors

I have created 2 tables in a database which are mostly similar, the table1 will execute with more speed (take only less than or equal to 1 sec) but the table2 will take 4 or 5 secs to execute the query,moreover the similar datas was presented in both the tables. the eg:- query that i have executed is select max(c_code) from table1 and select max(c_code) from table2, the first one take less than 1 sec and the second one take more than 4 or 5 secs, also there is a procedure i hve written to update both the tables, and i got the time out error, if the table1 alone is updated using the procedure it is OK but the table2 alone is updated using the procedure the time out error will be shown, pls reply the reason for this problem as early as possible, it will be a grateful if anybody reply for this trouble?

I am really stuck here,
I hope to get some helpful answers on this forum.
Ok, I have three four tables in my db,
1- Stages
2- Activities
3- Tasks
4- Subtasks
Structure is like:
Stages
1- SrNo (Unique)
2- Stage
3- StartDate
4- FinishDate
Activities
1- SrNo (Unique)
2- Activity
3- StartDate
4- FinishDate
5- SrNo1 ((FK) from Stages Table)
Tasks
1- SrNo (Unique)
2- Task
3- StartDate
4- FinishDate
5- SrNo1 ((FK) from Activities Table)
Subtasks
1- SrNo (Unique)
2- Subtasks
3- StartDate
4- FinishDate
5- SrNo1 ((FK) from Task Table)
Now what i want is to update Tasks, StartDate and FinishDate according the Min(StartDate) and Max(FinishDate) of related Subtasks and same for Activities and Stages.
I have tried following query to Update tasks, StartDate and FinishDate
Update Tasks Set Tasks.StartDate=(Select Min(Subtasks.StartDate) from Subtasks,Tasks where Tasks.SrNo=Subtasks.SrNo1) from Subtasks,Tasks where Tasks.SrNo=Subtasks.SrNo1
But this query updates all Tasks with Min and Max date from Subtasks regardless of their relation.
Any help, would be appreciated.
Thanks

OK heres the situation, I have a Categories table and a Products table, each Category can have one or many Products, but a product can only belong to one Category hence one-to-many relationship.
Now I want to do a SELECT query that outputs all of the Categories onto an ASP page, but also displays how many Products are in each category eg.
CatID | Name | Description | No. Products
0001 | Cars | Blah blah blah | 5
etc etc
At the moment I'm doing nesting in my application logic so that for each category that is displayed, another query is run that returns the number of products for that particular category. It works ok!
However, is there a way to write a SQL Statement that returns all the Categories AND number products from just the one SELECT statement, rather than with the method I'm using outlined above? The reason I'm asking is that I want to be able to order by the number of products for each category and my method doesn't allow me to do this.
Many thanks!

Is it possible to get data-type,default-value, etc. (basically schema information) of columns in a particular query.This is something similar to what we get when we execute the followingÂ
SELECT *
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'Employees'
But instead of TABLE_NAME i would like to give a query like
SELECT [EmployeeID],[LastName],[FirstName] from [dbo].[Employees] order by [EmployeeID].

I am sending out an SOS.
Here is the situation:
We recently upgrade to 2005(sp). We have one report that ran fine in 2000 but leaves out data from certain columns (date related) in the results, so we chalked it up to being a non compatiable issue. So, I decided to try and switch the DB back to 2000 compatibility (in our test env) and then back to 2005. After that the report started returning the proper data. We can€™t really explain why it worked but it did. So we thought we would try it in prod (we knew it was a long shot) and it didn€™t work. So the business needs this report so we thought we would refresh the test system from prod, but now we are back to square one. I was wondering if anyone else has heard or seen anything like this. I am open to any idea€™s, no matter how crazy. J The systems are configured identically. Let me know if you need more information.
Thank you. Scott

Hi thanks for looking at my question
Using sqlServer management studio 2005
My Tables are something like this:
--Table 1 "Employee"
CREATE TABLE [MyCompany].[Employee](
[EmployeeGID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[BranchFID] [int] NOT NULL,
[FirstName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[MiddleName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[LastName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Employee] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[EmployeeGID]
)
GO
ALTER TABLE [MyCompany].[Employee]
WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Employee_BranchFID]
FOREIGN KEY([BranchFID])
REFERENCES [myCompany].[Branch] ([BranchGID])
GO
ALTER TABLE [MyCompany].[Employee] CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_Employee_BranchFID]
-- Table 2 "Branch"
CREATE TABLE [Mycompany].[Branch](
[BranchGID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[BranchName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[City] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[ManagerFID] [int] NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Branch] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[BranchGID]
)
GO
ALTER TABLE [MyCompany].[Branch]
WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Branch_ManagerFID]
FOREIGN KEY([ManagerFID])
REFERENCES [MyCompany].[Employee] ([EmployeeGID])
GO
ALTER TABLE [MyCompany].[Branch]
CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_Branch_ManagerFID]
--Foreign IDs = FID
--generated IDs = GID
Then I try a simple single row DELETE
DELETE FROM MyCompany.Employee
WHERE EmployeeGID= 39
Well this might look like a very basic error:
I get this Error after trying to delete something from Table €śEmployee€?
The DELETE statement conflicted with the
REFERENCE constraint "FK_Branch_ManagerFID".
The conflict occurred in database "MyDatabase",
table "myCompany.Branch", column 'ManagerFID'.
Yes what I€™ve been doing is to deactivate the foreign key constraint, in both tables when performing these kinds of operations, same thing if I try to delete a €śBranch€? entry, basically each entry in €śbranch€? and €śEmployee€? is child of each other which makes things more complicated.
My question is, is there a simple way to overcome this obstacle without having to deactivate the foreign key constraints every time or a good way to prevent this from happening in the first place? Is this when I have to use €śON DELETE CASCADE€? or something?
Thanks

Hi,
Is there a format function in MDX which will help me solve the following
scenario:
One of my measures is Net Sales and I have tried all different formats
in Analysis Services so that it shows without the decimal places i.e.
instead of showing the Net Sales for any selected combination of
Dimensions as 123,456.04, I want to show it as 123,456
When I browse the cube (in Analysis Services), I can meet my
requirement. However, in my front-end (Microsoft Data Analyzer), I am
still getting it as 123,456.04 (even when the same in Analysis services,
i.e. when I browse the cube, is being shown as 123,456).
I do not have much choice at the moment and am stuck with Microsoft Data
Analyzer and unfortunately have not been able to solve this :(
Can someone think of a solution/workaround/use of MDX which will help me
get the results being displayed without the decimal. Is there a format function that I can use in MDX and how to use it???
Many TIA

I've been working on a performance review web application (i.e., employee's annual reviews done via the web). In the process of creating the application I've been teaching myself .NET - maybe not the best way to do it but I've been learning a lot. However, I still feel like I'm not doing something right.On each Page_Load I'm doing database work with a data reader: Reading the data in, displaying it, letting the user add, edit, or delete it, etc. So every Page_Load code behind looks like this: string sql = "SELECT UserID, Passwd, RecID, Name FROM UserList";
SqlConnection myConn = new SqlConnection("Server=BART; Database=WSSD; User ID=sa; Password=wss1231");
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, myConn);
SqlDataReader dr;
myConn.Open();
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader(); And so forth and so on. Now since I re-use this code again and again - I imagine it's a good idea to implement my connection code in a class that I can re-use easily. But I have no idea where to start on something like that. What can I say? I'm a newb. A push in the right direction would be great.

Hi,
I made a DTS which appends data coming infrom a view to an exisiting table.So far no problem and all goes well.
I am facing a problem due to the format of the date that is coming in (getting appended) and while going through BOL, came across the following topic:
mk:@MSITStore:C:Program%20FilesMicrosoft%20SQL%2 0Server80ToolsBookshowtosql.chm::/ht_dts_trns_97ou.htm
I tired the above tips but it appears that if I try to do this in my DTS (which appends data),the logic of the DTS will change. A single arrow also gets added whichI think represents a simple mapping/transformation rather than a append. To clarify my point, please note the attached image which represents that the data is being appended (due to the many sided arrows pointing to the source and destination - visible under the Transformations tab of my DTS).
Sincerely hoping that my post is clear, can someone help me find how to make changes in a DTS (which appends data) and ensuring that thelogic remains the same i.e. it should append data.
Many TIA

We had been running SQL Server without any control of security (sincethe company is very small -100 employees). All of us know the adminpassword and has been accessing the database as admin. Our databaseserver crashed due to hardware failure twice last month and we lost alot of important data. Now the management is taking the control ofserver access seriously.SQL Enterprise manager is installed on many PCs and any one can deleteany database with a right click.My question is:1. Can the enterprise manager be installed on client's PC with alimited right (or as a user not as admin)?We need to limit the user's access of using the Enterprise Manager.In other words, how can we set this up for different users.2. How can we keep running SQL Server if one server fails?Clustering or Replication or Mirroring? OI would highly appreciate if you could direct me to any website orresources on how to set up security of SQL Server (2000 with the latestservice pack).Thanks a million in advance.Best regards,Mamun

Hi,
I have a data including "year", "month" and "day" columns and I'm using these columns as parameter to create a report. I'm using the parameters successfully in my report. I import all possible year-month-day combinations but in my data there are some unmatched combinations. (For ex, for 2007 there's just last 3 months of the year, and some days are missing) To make the report more affective, I wanna make the parameters dynamic; when I choose 2007 in year-combobox I wanna see just the related months (not all 12) and the related days after I choose the month. Is it possible in reporting services?

Hi all,
I am trying to insert user's input from a web form into the tables. For example,
PURCHASE TABLE(PurchaseID, PurchaseNo, Date, PartID)
PART TABLE(PartID, PartDescription,MachineID)
MACHINE TABLE(MachineID, MachineName)
On the web form I have textboxes for the Purchase No., date and part description, and a drop down list for the machine name. How do I insert them into the different tables?
I've just start learning ASP.NET and I am using Web Matrix for this. The examples I've seen so far only shows how to insert into a single table.

what if this person doesn't want to play three related games in a row?
This is my dilemma. How do I get the following result set:1 Tag Dodgeball 102 Kickball 83 Fooseball 8The
related table tells which games are related to which, but how do I get
the select statement to realize that it should not select any games
that are related once it already has one in the result set?I can't use distinct, b/c if I do, any games which don't have a relationship are eliminated, as their rID is null.Pseudo-Code might look something like this:SET ROWCOUNT 3Select * from Game ORDER BY Popularity (where ID !=rID)Please help. I've banging my head against this one for quite some time.Respectfully,David.

Table one: [albums] contains the fields [albumId], [albumTitle] and [albumDesc] - the name says it all.
Table two: [images] contains the fields [imageId], [imagePath] and forign key [albumId}
In my albumspage i would like to show all albums listed in [albums] (the easy part) AND for every album i would like to count how many images there's related to the particular album AND a random retrieve a random [imagePath]
To extract the albums something like this works: SELECT * FROM [albums] ORDER BY [albumTitle]
To count the images in a sertain album this works: SELECT COUNT(*) AS imagesCount WHERE [albumId] = ...the albumId from the album-select
And to retrieve a random imagePath this works fine: SELECT TOP 1 [imagePath] FROM [images] WHERE [imageId] = NEWID()
-But how do i combine them so that i can retrieve the data in one request? Suppose theres going to be some JOIN and group but i cant figure it out. Please help me out.
