Searching Similar Records Within A Table
Oct 8, 2007
Hi,
I have 4 tables :
Code Block
Create Table #Request ( [requestid] int , [stateno] nvarchar(5) , [cityno] int , Callid int, UniqueNo int);
Create Table #RequestDetail(reqdetailid int, [customername] Varchar(20), [customerage] int, requestid int);
Create Table #Call(Callid int,Calltype int,callDetailid int )
Create Table #CallDetail(callDetailId int,empid int)
Insert into #CallDetail VALUES(12123,1)
Insert into #CallDetail VALUES(53423,1)
Insert into #CallDetail VALUES(6532,1)
Insert into #CallDetail VALUES(82323,1)
Insert into #CallDetail VALUES(124235,1)
Insert Into #Call VALUES(111,1,12123)
Insert Into #Call VALUES(112,1,53423)
Insert Into #Call VALUES(114,1,6532)
Insert Into #Call VALUES(123,2,6532)
Insert Into #Call VALUES(134,1,124235)
Insert Into #request Values('324234','SA023',12,111,0);
Insert Into #request Values('223452','SA023',12,112,0);
Insert Into #request Values('456456','SA024',12,114,0);
Insert Into #request Values('22322362','SA024',44,123,0);
Insert Into #request Values('22654392','SA023',12,134,0);
Insert into #requestdetail values(1, 'Bill',23,'324234')
Insert into #requestdetail values(2, 'Tom',25,'223452')
Insert into #requestdetail values(3, 'Bobby',27,'456456')
Insert into #requestdetail values(4, 'Guck',29,'22322362')
Insert into #requestdetail values(5, 'Bobby',33,'22654392')
1. My stored proc will take the CallDetailID.
2. I have to find out the requests made on this calldetail.
3. After getting the request, i want to take the Customername, cityno of the request/requestdetail and pass it again to #request table to search for any duplicates within the request.
4. If found return the details of the original record :
[A similar requirement was solved earlier, but the structure has changed. This is a seperate requirement with different table strucure. Hence a new post. ]
thanks

I have the below in a table - TABLEA
Ref, Date, TIME, Code, Minutes
01117,2012-01-02, 541,BASIC,240.0
01117,2012-01-02, 541,BASIC,105.0
And I am trying to insert this into another table TABLEB but it wont allow as I am getting a duplicates error because of the unique Indexing on the table.
Ref,Date,Time,Code
Ideally if I could run a query on TABLEA so that it would merge and sum the minutes where REF,Date,TIME,CODE are the same.
i.e., the above would become
Ref , Date , TIME, Code, Minutes
01117,2012-01-02, 541,BASIC,345.0
Is this possible?
Another option that would work for me is the TIME column info isnt required to remain at 541.
If there was a count increment on the rows it would allow the import to rum.
ie if the above became
Ref, Date, TIME, Code, Minutes
01117,2012-01-02, 1,BASIC,240.0
01117,2012-01-02 ,2BASIC,105.0
It would also import correctly.
The first option is which I would prefer.

I am working on a project that will require me to get a flat data file (excel spreadsheet) with hundreds of thousands of records. Each record is an Owner, and specifically what they own. There will be a field for OwnerName that I want to figure out a way to pull the data into a database like;
Table(Owners) - make sure owner is listed only once
Table(Properties) - joined to owners showing all properties that person owns
Now the tricky part, the owner names might not be exactly the same. Some records might have;
Smith, John
John Smith
Smith, John T
etc.
To make matters worse, this will be a continuous process. I will receive updated excel spreadsheets from time to time and will need to import the new records, many times overwriting the old data. For the good news, there should be an OwnerID that will be unique within the excel data. So as I am merging similar records into the Owners table, I should have a list of OwnerID's that can forever be used to link to the owner.

I want to create a stored procedure which takes a project name and returns any project with a name similar or = to the input parameter. This is so the user can search for a project although the spelling may be incorrect or whatever.....
Any hints on how to start this? It seems that I could use SOUNDEX or DIFFERENCE, but I don't know where to start.
Any hints?

I'm hoping someone can help me with my problem.
I'm reading in records from a 'flat file' and loading them into sql.
I have 5 values I'm loading in. I first check my sql db, if all 5 values match a current record in sql, I don't want to load the record, because it's already there. If it doesn't exist, I need to load it.
It works fine as long as none of my values are NULL. But if I have a record with a field, say Gender, that is null, if its a new record it loads fine, setting gender to NULL in sql. But then when I encounter another record, which is identical, I'm testing to see if it already exists by doing a 'select where Gender = @Gender' and it always returns that the record does not exist in the db - even though it exists (because its using the = instead of is null)!
I need some mechanism where if the value is null it tests 'Gender is null' but if there is a value, it tests gender=gender, [and I need this for all my parameters]. Or is there some other way to do this?
Here is my code for looking to see if the record exists:
public static int ExistInsured(int CaseID, object InsuredLastName, object DateOfBirth, object CurrentAge, object Gender)
{SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connStng.ToString());
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT top 1 InsuredID from Insured Where PolicyID = (Select PolicyID from Policy where CaseID = @CaseID) and LastName = @InsuredLastName and DateofBirth = @DateofBirth and Gender = @Gender", conn);
int result = -1;
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CaseID", CaseID);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@InsuredLastName", InsuredLastName);cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@DateOfBirth", DateOfBirth);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CurrentAge", CurrentAge);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Gender", Gender);
conn.Open();
try
{object ret = cmd.ExecuteScalar();
if ((ret != null) && (ret is int))result = (int)ret;
}
finally
{
conn.Close();
}return result;
}

ive got a tough one for everyone this time!
i am trying to get a page up that enables me to enter a number into a box on a form, which then on clicking of a search button, queries the database, and returns 2 other fields that relate to the number found in the database, in an ASP datagrid.
the easiest way to do this would be to use OLEDB or ODBC, but the host i am using doesnt support either of them, and so i am trying to use their code, something using OBJDB, but to no avail. frankly, their code is rubbish, and im not sure how to go about doing the above.
i would be very grateful if someone could help me out with this problem,
thanks,

Hope I am in the correct section.
I am installing a FTS system on an existing system (that used LIKE % queries!! hahaha)
Anyway, it is working pretty well (AND FAST!) but when I type in a
common word like "damage" I get like 32,000 records. Now, the
server handles those records in about one second but the ASP page that
returns the results takes about one MINUTE to download. When I
save the source, it is almost 12 MEGS!!
So, basically, I am streaming 12 megs across the pipe and I want to reduce that.
I would like the system to detect over maybe 500 records and cancel the search.
I have put a "TOP 500" into the search and that actually works pretty well but is there a better/smarter method?
Thanks!

Hi,I need to extract randomly 5 records from the table "Questions". Now I useSELECT TOP 5 FROM Questions ORDERBY NEWID()And it works. The problem is that I need an additional thing: if SQLextracts record with ID=4, then it should not extract record with ID=9,because they are similar. I mean, I'd like something to tell SQL that if itextracts some questions, then it SHOULD NOT extract other ones.How can I do it?Thanks!Luke

I have a table that I am basically reduplicating a couple of times for each part of this database that I want to create.Each table basically has the same data: The tables will be called motherTable, fatherTable, sonTable, daughterTable and so on.I am pretty much using the following in each column: UserID, MotherID(or FatherID or SonID, etc., etc. and so on for each unique table), FirstName, LastName, MiddleName, BirthPlace, Photo, Age.I don't see an option to copy a table and just modify the second ID part and rename that table accordingly.How can I make this an easier way of creating these similar tables without retyping all these columns over and over again?Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys
I have 4 databases in the same space.My users use all of them and use the same username and password to log into these 4 databases.In each of these databases,i have put a control table to allow me to keep track of all users that have to reset their passwords.
The control table consists of the username and flag fields.When the flag is ON(1) the user is forced to reset thier password and if the flag is OFF(0) they are not.
When a user logs into any one of these databases and they have to reset thier password,how do i make sure that all the other tables in other databases are also updated to make sure that the user is not forced to reset their password again when they log into those other databases later since they are using the same username and password for all databases.
I am planning to use a stored procedure which i will put into all the four databases and when a user logs in and has to reset their password,that sproc is called and automatically updates all the other 3 tables in other 3 databases.
Some SQL examples will be very appreciated.
Thanks.

Ok, I'm really new at this, but I am looking for a way to automatically insert new records into tables. I have one primary table with a primary key id that is automatically generated on insert and 3 other tables that have foreign keys pointing to the primary key. Is there a way to automatically create new records in the foreign tables that will have the new id? Would this be a job for a trigger, stored procedure? I admit I haven't studied up on those yet--I am learning things as I need them. Thanks.

have an excel file which contains lots of sheets. Some of them are named as DW-<day>-<month> (for e.g; DW-1-July). Like this I have sheets for the whole month. I have other sheets too with a different name. I would like to import data from these sheets only (DW ones). Upon my research I have found that this can be achieved via For Each Loop Container.

and Table2.Dimension in (Select Dimension from Table1)
In Table1 There might be 10 Groupid records all of which are different.

I am trying to write a query that will retrieve all students of a particular class and also any rows in HomeworkLogLine if they exist (but return null if there is no row). I thought this should be a relatively simple LEFT join but I've tried every possible combination of joins but it's not working.
SELECT
Student.StudentSurname + ', ' + Student.StudentForename AS Fullname,
HomeworkLogLine.HomeworkLogLineTimestamp,
HomeworkLog.HomeworkLogDescription,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY HomeworkLogLine.HomeworkLogLineStudentID ORDER BY
[Code] ...
It's only returning two rows (the students where they have a row in the HomeworkLogLine table).

I have a stored procedure that takes 5 parameters. Based on what parameters are passed i want to return a result set to the calling code. Not all of the parameters are required so there will be some combinations on the entered parameters.
Do i need to dynamic build the query with the IF statements to check if the input parameter is NULL or not ?

Relative SQL newbie here......this is probably easy, but....Lets say I have a table (MainTable) that stores a list of input table names,a primary key (PKey), and a field called "Configured" for each one. Each ofthese input tables also contain a field called "Configured", which is set totrue or false in another process based on an OrderNumber. (So an order'sinputs are stored in several input tables, and the MainTable is a summarytable that shows which input tables have been configured for any givenOrderNumber).What I need to do is open each input table, and look for a record containinga specific OrderNumber and where Configured=true. If a record is found, Ineed to update the Configured field for that table in the MainTable, andthen move on to the next sub-table.The way I'm doing it now is with simple SQL and loops. Here is the basiccode (ASP):*****************************************OrderNumber = "562613" ' the current order that is being processed' reset all configured flagssql = "UPDATE MainTable SET Configured = 0"conn.execute sql, , &H00000080' get list of all tablenamessql = "SELECT InputTableName, PKey FROM MainTable WHERE InputTableName <>'---'"set rsTableNames = conn.execute(sql)while not rsTableNames.eof' test each input table for configured flagsql = "SELECT Configured FROM " & rsTableNames("InputTableName")& _" WHERE Configured = 1 AND OrderNumber = '" & OrderNumber &"'"set rs = conn.execute(sql)If Not rs.EOF Then' update the main tablesql = "UPDATE MainTable SET Configured = 1 WHERE PKey='" &rsTableNames("PrimaryKey") & "'"conn.execute sql, , &H00000080end ifset rs = nothingrsTableNames.movenextwend*****************************************There has to be a faster way.. I think.... maybe something that could bewritten as a stored procedure? I use a similar technique in a couple ofother places and it's a bit of a performance hit, especially as the numberof input tables grows.TIA!Calan

I want to create a function that searches for allowed characters within a table range (that contains the allowed characters) and replace any characters outside this range with a space.
For example -
'Bill123?', 'Jones12.z-'
'John&12/', 'QWERT123&4'
Wanted results – the single quotes are there to show the space for the replaced characters.
'Bill123 '
'Jones12.z '
'John&12 '
'QWERT123 4'
Example SQL data
CREATE TABLE [Common].[AllowedCharacters] (
[Character] [varchar](1) NOT NULL,
[Replacement] [varchar](10) NULL,
[AlwaysInclude] [bit] NOT NULL)
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING OFF
[code]....
The function will wrap around the column names and I know it can be done without a table validate the characters but it must be done this way.

I am trying to query the SharePoint database to get a list of how many times a table name is being used in our SSRS reports.Here is my current query:
DECLARE @TEXTTOSEARCH AS VARCHAR(200)
SET @TEXTTOSEARCH = 'tablenamehere'
;WITH XMLNAMESPACES
(DEFAULT 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2005/01/reportdefinition',
'http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner' AS rd)
[code]...
This works for some tables since the names are unique and I can just do a search for that. However, some of the table names are simple and can also be used as aliases.if there was some way to get the list of table names easier.

I have a situation where deleting old records is blocking updating latest records on highly transactional table and getting timeout errors from application.
In details, I have one table called Tran_table1 in OLTP database. This Tran_table1 is highly transactional table, it will receive data for insert/update continuously
While archiving 2 years old records from Tran_table1 into Tran_table1_archive in batches(using DELETE OUTPUT INTO clause), if there is any UPDATEs on Tran_table1,these updates are getting blocked and result is timeout errors in application.
Is there any SQL Server hints to avoid blocking ..

I have a table with about half a million records, each representing a patient in my county.
Each record has a field (RRank) which basically sorts the patients as to how "unwell" they are according to a previously-applied algorithm. The most unwell patient has an RRank of 1, the next-most unwell has RRank=2 etc.
I have just deleted several hundred records (which relate to patients now deceased) from the table, thereby leaving gaps in the RRank sequence. I want to renumber the remaining recs to get rid of the gaps.
I can see what I want to accomplish by using ROW_NUMBER, thus:
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() Over (ORDER BY RRank) as RecNumber, RRank
FROM RPL
ORDER BY RRank
I see the numbers in the RecNumber column falling behind the RRank as I scan down the results
My question is: How to convert this into an UPDATE statement? I had hoped that I could do something like:
UPDATE RISC_PatientList_TEMP
SET RRank = ROW_NUMBER() Over (ORDER BY RRank);
but the system informs that window functions will only work on SELECT (which UPDATE isn't) or ORDER BY (which I can't legally add).

I admit I am a novice to queries and stored procedures but understand stored procedures are more secure, so I am choosing to challenge myself with a stored procedure and have not been successful at all.
What I am looking for is a stored procedure which would query the single table named Hospital, which would search from a single textbox the end user would enter the text they are searching for on a Windows VB application but is dependant on a few end user selected items.
1. The end user can select a radio button either "Starts with" or "Contains"
2. The end user can select from 6 checkboxes (Hospitals, Address, City, State, Zip, Type) to limit or expand their search from the columns in the table.
The table has 17columns (CO, PARENTCO, ADDR, POBox, CITY, State, ZIP, TEL, FAX, WEBSITE, HOSP_TYPE, OWNERSHIP, BEDS, CONTACT, TITLE, Email) but I am only allowing the end user to search by the above 6 columns and need to display the above 6 columns plus the phone, fax and website columns.
After the user clicks the search button it displays the results in a listbox and the user will then select the one they want and it displays the information in another set of textboxes.
Hopefully someone can get me pointed in the right direction! Thanks for your help!
