structuring a query to give me the CurrBal per CardNo.
I have table that looks like this:
CardNo DepDate CurrBal DepAmnt TransNo
1 2013-06-04 11:50 AM 79 0 6
2 2013-08-05 15:34 PM 52 100 41
2 2013-08-05 14:11 PM -48 0 40
3 2013-07-09 13:52 PM 49 0 12
3 2013-07-22 13:51 PM 11 0 14
1 2013-06-12 10:46 AM 63 0 7
3 2013-07-15 14:04 PM 33 0 13
2 2013-08-06 15:05 PM 39 0 42
2 2013-08-07 13:38 PM 30 0 43
I am looking to order this table by CardNo and then TransNo but i only want the query to display the record with the highest TransNo for each CardNo. In other words discard the records with the lower TransNo for each CardNo.
My desired result should hopefully look something like this:
CardNo DepDate CurrBal DepAmnt TransNo
1 2013-06-12 10:46 AM 63 0 7
2 2013-08-07 13:38 PM 30 0 43
3 2013-07-22 13:51 PM 11 0 14
I am using SQL 2012 Express but would also like this query to work in SQL 2005.

I have a stored proc which evaluates a table of 'tasks' to return the task with the highest priority for a given user - at the same time, once that task has been found - I want to allocate that user to the task.
I have created a stored proc that works...however I'm sure this requirement /pattern is common & I would like some best practice for this pattern of update and select within a transaction.
Here is some sample data:
use tempdb;
go
if OBJECT_ID('Tasks', 'U') is not null
drop table tasks;
go
create table tasks (
TaskId int identity primary key,
[Code] ....
And here's what my current stored proc looks like;
if OBJECT_ID('pGetNextTask', 'P') is not null
drop proc pGetNextTask;
go
create proc pGetNextTask (
@UserID char(10),
@TaskID int output
)
[Code] ....

is there any more efficient way for example to implement the next query?
SELECT s1.article, dealer, s1.price
FROM shop s1
JOIN (
SELECT article, MAX(price) AS price
FROM shop
GROUP BY article) AS s2
ON s1.article = s2.article AND s1.price = s2.price;
WHERE dealer = 'dealer sample'
What indexes I should create for this query?

Example data
CA1000
CA10001
CA10002
CA10003
CA11597
CA11603
CA1001
CA998
CA999
As you can see, CA11603 is the largest number in this list.
When I try the follow sql code,
SELECT
MAX([MyCode])
FROM
[MyTable]
WHERE (SUBSTRING([MyCode], 1, 2) = 'CA')
The largest number comes back as CA997
When I try
MAX([MyCode])
FROM
[MyTable]
WHERE [MyCode] LIKE 'CA%'
The largest number comes back as CA997
SELECT
TOP 1 (SchoolMasterCode)
FROM
SchoolMaster
WHERE (SUBSTRING(SchoolMasterCode, 1, 2) = 'CA') ORDER BY Schoolmastercode
The largest comes back as CA10001
When I try....
SELECT
TOP 1 (SchoolMasterCode)
FROM
SchoolMaster
WHERE (SUBSTRING(SchoolMasterCode, 1, 2) = 'CA')
The largest comes back as CA1278
What am I doing wrong?

I'm working on a social network where I store my friend GUIDs in a table with the following structure:user1_guid user2_guidI am trying to write a query to return a single list of all a users' friends in a single column. Depending on who initiates the friendship, a users' guid value can be in either of the two columns. Here is the crazy sql I have come up with to give what I want, but I'm sure there's a better way... Any ideas?SELECT DISTINCT UserIdFROM espace_ProfilePropertyWHERE (UserId IN
(SELECT CAST(REPLACE(CAST(user1_guid AS VarChar(36)) + CAST(user2_guid AS VarChar(36)), @userGuid, '') AS uniqueidentifier) AS UserId FROM espace_UserConnection WHERE (user1_guid = @userGuid) OR
(user2_guid = @userGuid))) AND (UserId IN
(SELECT UserId FROM espace_ProfileProperty))

Hi -
Is there a resource I can go to that lists people who I pay to talk me through stuff like getting SQL Server Express installed, get some sample data input and then get that data into Excel? I just cannot seem to get any help that works for me to learn SQL Server; the books are obtuse, the online help too indirect. Once I get something working I hope to enhance it on my own, but I have been stuck at the start for a very long time. There is stuff for me to do that is not getting done.

I already posted this question in the Wrong Forum.
However I was wondering if it is possible to create a variable that holds the filename as an expression. I am using a For each loop to pick up files and i want to insert the 'Filename' as a colum so that i can differentiate among the rows in my destination Table.
Using the 'Derived Colum' in DTS I can link the colum to the variable. However i do not know how to create the variable which will store the filename for each file....
Any Clues...
Would really appreciate the help.....

Hello All,
I have about 160 packages in my system, all using about 20 shared datasources.
When changing one of the datasource's connection (changing the server name), I need to open every one of my packages and press OK to allow the remapping to the new server. (this is something I don't understand: wasn't this the meaning of using a share datasource in the first place? what's the advantages in that case?)
So, I have heard about Package configuration, and how it supposed to support all of this, But I don't understand something: The configuration is set to a certain package. If I have 2 packages, using the same two (of four) Datasources. Using the configuration wizard from one of the packages, I mark the connection string from the datasource. I need to do the same in the other package? will the configuration table hold only one value for that connection? If I change the value of the connection string will it affect all the packages using that datasource or only the ones using configuration?
Thanks,
Liran

I am connecting to a new SQL Server 2008 R2 database using SSMS from my ADMIN VM workstation. I bring up a Stored Procedure and make a change.... I execute the Stored Procedure... after it finishes.... I exit out without saving to a file.... I go back in and my change was not held.
I can do the exact same process with an old SQL Server 2005 database. Is there a permission I am missing to set to be able to do this on the 2008 database.

Here's a quick script that will return the inputbuffer of processes that are holding more than a certain threshold of locks (by default, 10, but it's easy to modify). Handy for tracking down what query is holding those 1400 locks.
Yes, it uses a cursor. I'd welcome amendment by anyone who has the insight on converting it to pure set-based.
Cheers

I've done some basic database design in the past, but am a relative newbie to design. I have recently come across a situation I'm not sure how to handle. Here's the situation...
Assume we've got a contacts table which holds information about our contacts. All contacts have the same basic information - name, address, telephone, etc. Each contact is of a certain type - let's just say a, b, and c, for ease. This contact type is stored in the contacts table. Now, on contacts of type b, I also have to store some additional data. What it is doesn't really matter. I found a way to set this up, but I'm not sure that I'm going about it the right way, and would love some advice on the proper way to do this. Basically, what I did is create my contacts table:
Contact_id, contactName, ContactAddress, ContactPhone, ContactType.
Created a contacttype table
ContactType, ContactTypeDescription, ContactAddInfo
What I've done is left contactaddInfo as a nullable field. When it has a value, that value is the name of a table which holds the additional information that I need for the contact... So when I'm running a query, I can tell if I need to reference another table by checking the value of ContactAddInfo.
I can't imagine that this is the best solution, but it was the first thing that popped into my head, and it's a really small database that's using it. However, I'm now being faced with the same situation in a much more important, larger database, and I'd love to know the 'right' way.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide!

I'm working on an application that allows users to set up scheduled time based reports. Each scheduled report creates a SQL Agent job associated with a schedule.The default time to fire these off is 8:00 AM. There are several hundred. DWH and it has no trouble running hundreds of reports all fired off at the same time.
There are several ETL processes and occasionally they don't complete before our verbal SLA of 8:00 AM.
My problem is on days where the ETL runs past 8:00 AM I wan't to hold these scheduled jobs from firing off.

I'm starting to use SQL 2008 recently, and I'm just having trouble with the following problem:
The following query:
SELECT t_Category.Name as [Category]
FROM t_Assets, t_Category, t_Priority, t_Location, t_User_Assets
WHERE t_Assets.Asset_ID = t_User_Assets.Asset_ID
AND t_Category.Category_ID = t_User_Assets.Category_ID
AND t_Priority.Priority_ID = t_User_Assets.Priority_ID
AND t_Location.Location_ID = t_User_Assets.Location_ID
Returns this result:
Category
BMS
BMS
Water
BMS
BMS
Air
And the following query:
SELECT COUNT(t_Category.Category_ID) AS AssetQty
FROM t_Assets, t_Category, t_Priority, t_Location, t_User_Assets
WHERE t_Assets.Asset_ID = t_User_Assets.Asset_ID
AND t_Category.Category_ID = t_User_Assets.Category_ID
AND t_Priority.Priority_ID = t_User_Assets.Priority_ID
AND t_Location.Location_ID = t_User_Assets.Location_ID
GROUP BY t_Category.Category_ID
Returns this result:
AssetQty
4
1
1
I need to have both of those results returned, as a single result. Such as:
Category AssetQty
BMS 4
WATER 1
AIR 1
However, I'm not able to, due to the fact, that if I add the "t_Category.Category.Name" in the SELECT clause, it gives me the following error:
Column 't_Category.Name' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
And if I try to use the "Name" as part of the count clause, it won't work, as text are not acceptable data types for aggregations.

Hi thereI have the following two tablesmainprofile (profile varchar(20), description)accprofile (profile varchar(20), acct_type int)Sample data could bemainprofile----------------prof1 | profile oneprof2 | profile twoprof3 | profile threeaccprofile--------------prof1 | 0prof1 | 1prof1 | 2prof2 | 0Now doing a join between these two tables would return multiple rows,but I would like to know whether it would be possible to returnacct_type horizontally in a column of the result set, e.g.prof1 | profile one | [0,1,2]prof2 | profile two | [0]I could probably manage this with cursors, but it would be veryresource intensive.

Hello all,
I am using INNER JOIN to connect 2 tables together but I wish it to return distinct columns instead of repeating itself !
eg.
Current output would be:
UserID Name UserID OrderID

I want it to be:
UserID Name OrderID
1 John 5
2 Bob 6
I need to use SELECT * as there are many many columns and wish to save time :)

I am using BCP and one of the tables in my SQL contains a column of type nvarchar(500) - whose data are actually email messages such as:
Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2008 11:03 PM
To: Kathy Shouner
Cc: Brent Ford; William Dew
Subject: RE: Revision of presentation schedule
I support the recommended revisions.
When I open the datafile, it spans 6 separate lines - probably ending in carriage returns (not sure how to confirm this). Hence, I am having a problem importing it to my table. When I query the database, it appears as one line under that column - which is the way it should be.
My BCP command is something like this:
BCP "select email_msg, email_id from emails" QUERYOUT "c:email.txt" -c -T -S sunny.erwin.com
I experimented with -w, -n, -N already but still am failing to get the proper output.
Please help... Thanks in advance.
