hy all..How can I achieve the above ?Moreover can I retrieve data from multiple databases which are lying on different DBMSs ( like retrieving from database A which is on SQL and from database B which is on Oracle ) ?Rgds.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to create a report using Reporting Services.
My problem right now is that the way the table is constructed, I am trying to pull 3 seperate values i.e. One is the number of Hours, One is the type of work, and the 3rd is the Grade, out of one column and place them in 3 seperate columns in the report.
I can currently get one value but how to get the information I need to be able to use in my reports.
So far what I've been working with SQL Reporting Services 2005 I love it and have made several reports, but this one has got me stumped.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I might not have made my problem quite clear enough. My table has one column labeled value. The value in that table is linked through an ID field to another table where the ID's are broken down to one ID =Number of Hours, One ID = Grade and One ID= type of work.
What I'm trying to do is when using these ID's and seperate the value related to those ID's into 3 seperate columns in a query for using in Reporting Services to create the report
As you can see, I'm attempting to change the name of the same column 3 times to reflect the correct information and then link them all to the person, where one person might have several entries in the other fields.
As you can see I can change the names individually in queries and pull the information seperately, it's when roll them altogether is where I'm running into my problem
Thanks for the suggestions that were made, I apoligize for not making the problem clearer.
Here is a copy of what I'm attempting to accomplish. I didn't have it with me last night when posting.
--Pulls the Service Opportunity
SELECT cs.value AS "Service Opportunity"
FROM Cstudent cs
INNER JOIN cattribute ca ON ca.attributeid = cs.attributeid
WHERE ca.name = 'Service Opportunity'
--Pulls the Number of Hours
SELECT cs.value AS 'Number of Hours'
FROM Cstudent cs
INNER JOIN cattribute ca ON ca.attributeid =cs.attributeid
WHERE ca.name ='Num of Hours'
--Pulls the Person Grade Level
SELECT cs.value AS 'Grade'
FROM Cstudent cs
INNER JOIN cattribute ca ON ca.attributeid =cs.attributeid
WHERE ca.name ='Grade'
--Pulls the Person Number, First and Last Name and Grade Level
SELECT s.personnumber, s.lastname, s.firstname, cs.value as "Grade"
FROM student s
INNER JOIN cperson cs ON cs.personid = s.personid
INNER JOIN cattribute ca ON ca.attributeid = cs.attributeid
WHERE cs.value =(SELECT cs.value AS 'Grade'
WHERE ca.attributeid = cs.attributeid AND ca.name='Grade')
I have multiple SQL 2000 servers that hold data which I retrieve using a single SQL stored procedure. Unfortunately, I don't know how to retrieve this data asychronously (in parallel).
For example, I retrieve data from two linked servers using the following:
select * into #temp from openquery(SomeLinkedServer,'exec BigQueryHere')
select * into #temp2 from openquery(OtherLinkedServer,'exec BigQueryThere')
.
.
lots of manipulation of the temporary tables to get what I want, etc.
.
.
The problem I have with this is that there is no reason why the first query should have to finish before the second query begins (serially) because these are on separate servers. Is there a way to execute these so that they run at the same time?

Hi!
I have 7 source databases and one target database, all using the same structure. The structure is made of 10 tables, with foreign key constraints.
I need to merge the source databases into the target (which won't have any data before that process, but will already have the correct schema), and to keep the relationships between the records.
I know how to iterate over the source databases (with SMO foreach), but I'd like to know if someone can advise the best copy method for that context in SSIS ? (I don't want to keep the primary keys, but I need to keep the relationships...)
Any pointer most welcome!
best regards and thanks

Hi, I have looked and loked for the answer to this question and made no progress. I want to install MSDE on one of our servers, however, when I went to install it, I found that there was another MSDE already installed and running (it was an agent running with our backup software Veritas). Is it alright to create another database and have 2 running simultaneous on the same data engine? Is there any type of limitations that I sould know about - such as number of allowed accesses at one time? Any help is greatly appreicated.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHas anyone implemented split data for an application between two databases because the data size is extremely large? If so could you please point me to relevant information.In this split data scenario, a table will automatically carry over to another database whenever the size limit for the current database is reached. The challenge is here for the DAL (data access layer) to automatically look into the appropriate database when the next row of data is in another database. OR Perhaps there is another solution to this terasize data problem..Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

We are in the design phase of a project where it is estimated there will be 150 SQL Server databases - each one housing similar information on each of 150 client sites. The client needs a reporting tool to analyze and make comparisons across databases. We were thinking about a using a data warehouse. Does SQL Server have a native solution to this type of problem ? Or is there another, better way to approach this ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi please could someone give me a explination of how SQLserver deals with multiple databases, We have multiple website that are all run from the same server all from SQLserver. Now we have a couple of databases which are very busy and have a lot of people constantly accessing them and then we have quite a few with much less traffic.
How would these databases effect each other? Would the busy database, mean that the many small databases will all be slowed dramtically?
Everything is okay at the moment but we are considering putting another fairly large database on the server and am worried about it having a sever effect on the smaller databases. Cheers Ed
I have a situation where I need to do some reporting for simular asset records but the data is listed on different database from the same server.
I was curious as to the way to write the queries that I will need.
Lets say I have 3 databases and I am looking for a asset of some type and the ID is a serial number.
The serial will be on the main table from each database. Is there a way I can set a relation from a view between these records?
I.E.:
1: Database A -DSNA_tblMaiin - Serialnumber
2: Database B -DSNB_tblMaiin - Serialnumber
3: Database C -DSNC_tblMaiin - Serialnumber
I believe that this is a dot notation question.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I have to manage many SQL Server databases on several servers. How can I manage the jobs, backups and the space on the disc without going to each and every server and database and job? Is there any script to run this? It will be very helpful if you can provide me the sample script or point me to any web site where I can get the info/script for this. Thanks in advance...
Dear Readers,Is it possible, like in Access, to link to tables in other SQL databases that are on the same server? I have a query that I originally had in Access that queered from multiply databases. It did this by having those other tables in the other databases linked to the database that had the query.
I have a drop down menu for transmission. Inside the drop down menu, there are 1.Any 2.Auto 3.Manual options
Now I want to retrieve from my database, if the client select '1.Any' option. Meaning the output I want it to display all the products which have both auto and manual for transmission.
I have no problem retrieving all the products which either only have auto option or manual option.
I am using SQL Server 2000.
I am working on a project where there will be multiple databases on a single instance of SQL Server. Each database will have the exact same schema but will be accessed by different groups of users.
What is the easiest way to sychronize changes between the databases, so that if I add a column to one database, it will be reflected in the other databases. If I add, remove, or alter a stored procedure, I want the change to be made in the other databases. I want the data in each database to remain isolated. In other words, I do not want replication of the data, only the schema of the databases. I would like to have a single "master" database that I use to make any schema changes and all the other databases be schema mirrors of this database each with their own data.
I have looked into SQL Server replication, but this didn't seem to work the way I wanted and I wasn't able to publish column changes etc.

I have a setup/deployment question regarding SQL Server Encryption.
Internal database encrypts data in 3 different tables. This could execute on any one of 6 different servers.
The tables with encrypted data are replicated to another database on different servers (3)
How should the keys/certificates be created so that the data in the replicated database can be decrypted?
In my test scenario so far, I have been unable to have the second database decrypt the data that was encrypted on the first database (currently on the same server).
-- Create Database Master Key
CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY
PASSWORD = 'p@ssw0rd'
GO
-- Create Certificate
CREATE CERTIFICATE MyCertificate
WITH SUBJECT = 'My Data Encryption Certificate',
EXPIRY_DATE = '10/31/2010';
GO
CREATE SYMMETRIC KEY MyKey
WITH
ALGORITHM = AES_256,
IDENTITY_VALUE = 'My Symmetric Key',
KEY_SOURCE = 'Unique phrase that will be used to secure the key'
ENCRYPTION BY CERTIFICATE MyCertificate;

In our Microsoft Dynamics Nav instance we have a Sales Header Archive table - into which copies of the Sales Header are placed, with 3 items forming the compound key:
Document Number
Version
Occurrence number
so if doc 1 is archived, then the records would be
Doc# | Version | Occurrence #
1 | 1 | 1
When a second copy is archived a new record is added:
Doc# | Version | Occurrence #
1 | 1 | 1
1 | 1 | 2
and then when maybe a 3rd version is archived a 3rd entry added
Doc# | Version | Occurrence #
1 | 1 | 1
1 | 1 | 2
1 | 2 | 2
This is for EACH document and I now need to retrieve the dataset which is the latest version of each document... but I'm drawing a blank!
If I
select [Doc#], max([Version]) as [V], max([Occurrence #]) from (table) group by [Doc#]
then I get the distinct list of docs, but I now need to use this list to select the records which match this criteria, from this table.
How do I select just these?
I thought (wrongly) that I could simply say:
Select * from Invoice Table where
Invoice.[Doc#], Invoice.[V], Invoice.[Occurrence #] in
(select [Doc#], max([Version]) as [V], max([Occurrence #]) from (table) group by [Doc#])
I am working on a project to write SSIS packages to update a SQL Server 2005 database with data from an Oracle 10g database. Unfortunately, our development ETL box is running 32 bit Windows Server 2003 while the production ETL box is running 64 bit Itanium Windows Server 2003. We have created SQL Server Agent jobs to execute all of our packages. All of our jobs run without error on the 32 bit development box, but in our preproduction tests they are failing in the 64 bit box.
In my testing, I've found that I can successfully pull character data from Oracle. For example, I can write a package that retrieves the data for the following query:
SELECT 'test' FROM dual
However, the following fails:
SELECT 1 FROM dual
I have logging turned on in my package. When the package fails, I typically see informational messages in the log up to the point of failure, but no actual error event logs are generated. The only error information I have is in the SQL Server Agent job history log, which contains the following:
Executed as user: SERVERNAMESYSTEM. The return value was unknown. The process exit code was
-2147483646. The step failed.
I have also tried using the 64 bit version of the DTS Wizard to create a sample package, and observe the same behavior. When I run the DTS Wizard, queries that return numeric data cause DTSWizard.exe to exit and produce the following message in the application event log:

I've got a server side cursor that retrieves a list of customers from a sql server table which match a specific criteria (those who have had orders in the yr 2000)
For each customer, I need to retrieve a list of 5 top items purchased along with dollars spent on each item by that customer.
I've tried to do this in a loop that uses a counter but probably my syntax was off and I'm not sure that this is better than a correlated join? Can someone show me a temlate of the appropriate syntax to use for this operation
I appreciate suggestions, thanks again.

Hi - I'm new to SSRS/SQL and have a situation I can't figure out. I've tried a number of things, but I'm not sure the best way to return a calculated column based on the structure of my tables.
I have a primary Detail table that tracks product testing results. The Detail records need to be calculated against a "Year" table that contains a set of values by year. This table contains a single record for each year. There isn't a direct key that joins these two tables.
The Detail table looks like:
Record ID: 9999
PO Number: 12345
Date: 12/1/2007
Test Result: 1.52
The Year table looks like:
Record ID: 1
Start Date: 10/6/2007
End Date: 6/14/2008
LowVal1: 1.0
HighVal1: 1.49
Incentive1: .05
LowVal2: 1.50
HighVal2: 1.59
Incentive2: .06
and so on...
The Detail records need to find the correct Year record based on the Detail date, find the correct value within the LowVal - HighVal range based on the Test Result value, and then multiply the Test Result by the correct Incentive value and return that value.
I was able to find the correct LowVal-HighVal range using an Expression in the report column. Now that I need multiple years, I can't figure out the best way to configure the query.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
We have multiple databases on a single instance in an OLTP environment. I have my data files on a separate SAN LUN from my transaction log files (and a few NDFs split out onto additional LUNs). I was wondering if there is a performance benefit to putting each LDF file on its own LUN? Or at least my few busiest LDFs?
We are currently on 2012, but I'm having to put together specs for a 2014 installation and need to answer this question without having an environment in which I can benchmark different setups. I just want to hear whether or not others have done this (why or why not?).

Hi,
I'm trying to create a database that takes specific information from a number of databases on different servers to make some reporting that we have much easier.
I'm pretty new to SQL so I'm not sure of the best way to proceed. I read an article that suggested I use the OPENROWSET command. The problem is, the version of SQL that came with one of the programmes we use is limited and will not allow you to turn on the allow "Ad Hoc distributed Queries" so the SLQ statement will not execute.
I'm confused why it won't let me to connect through ODBC as I've created a web page that selects data from this database with no problems!
Here is the SQL statement that I've written to make sure it is the correct one (on the msdn library page it said that this was the ODBC connection):
SELECT a.*
FROM OPENROWSET('MSDASQL','DRIVER=(SQL Server);SERVER=APPOLOACT7;UID=sa;PWD=***************',
'SELECT * FROM MDCTestAndDev.dbo.TBL_CONTACT') AS a
I've also created the ODBC connection using the tool on Administration Tools>Data Sources ODBC
Any help would be greatly appreciated (also any ways of selecting from one database and inserting it into another will be helpfull)
Thanks
I am trying to restore multiple .bak backup SQL database files onto a new server. However, I have found that it will not allow me to restore multiple databases at once. Is there a way to do this so that I do not have to manually upload one at a time? I tried adding all the .bak files at once to the backup device window but it only did the first one listed. It would be so much easier to restore them all at once so that I do not have to continue this manual process. I am restoring them via device.
View 13 Replies View RelatedHello,
I am in the progress of designing a new section of my database and was thinking of creating a hole new database instead of just creating tables inside the database. My question is can you JOIN multiple tables in an SQL Statement from multiple databases. Ie, In the Management program I have a database called 'Convention' and another one called 'Services', inside the two databases there are many tables. Can I link say tblRegister from Convention to tblUser in Services?

I'm in the middle of developing a Database for a hospital that measures its audits, inhouse operations, and finance. What we currently have and do everyday is collect data from a large database that is real time with patient data, progess, infomation, etc and dump it into a data warehouse that runs on TSI/Eclipsys. We run reports using a number of programs and dump it into Excel sheets that have charts, reports, etc. This Database for which I'm developing won't come soley from the TSI/Eclypsys source, but this is the only source thats updated regularly. I don't want to have in sync with TSI/Eclipysys in fear that every day when it updates data may be lost, not read, or worse won't be up date if there is a problem. My question is is it possible to run a query from Sequel Server 2005 that will take that data upon request using the reporing features on Sequel Server 2005. i.e. What if I need to run a report on measure B in department 12 from Jan 1-Feb 1, instead of being in sync, can I just write queries to take that information rather than double the data and take up twice the space and trouble. FYI, these datatypes rarely change in the TSI/Eclipsys data warehouse. This sure was long question and didn't intended it to be . Thanks for listening and hope to hear back.
