hello experts,
i have to create a table for user with 40 fields.
these reuire one entry per user.
like his interest hobbies professinal... information.
do you recommend me create different tables or let it in one table
if in one table will it create any speed problem?
how many fields i should limit in one table.
secondly can i have my fields value initialized like int type to 0 and var type to space? is there any setting in sql for the same.
thank you allfor quick reply
I am using SQL Server Express within visual studio and am needing to create a stored procedure. The proble is that every time I finish and close it then it asks me if I want to save the changes which of course I want to.
But then it always comes up with a message box that says "invalid object name" followed with the name of the stored procedure.
??? why? I try creating a stored procedure from scratch or copying the code of another stored procedure. It alway gives me that message and does not let me save the stored procedure. I tried changing the default name of "dbo.storedprocedure1" or even leaving it as is and always I get the message that says "invalid object name: dbo.storedprocedure1" and it does not let me save the procedure.
What am I doing wrong?
I am extremely new at SQL Server2000 and t-sql and I'm looking tocreate a simple trigger. For explanation sake, let's say I have 3columns in one table ... Col_1, Col_2 and Col_3. The data type forCol_1 and Col_2 are bit and Col_3 is char. I want to set a trigger onCol_2 to compare Col_1 to Col_2 when Col_2 is updated and if they'rethe same, set the value on Col_3 to "Completed". Can someone pleasehelp me?Thanks,Justin

As the users drill down one of the dimensions, I want to show the breakup of each sub member in terms of %age e.g.
Suppose total Sales are 300 and breakup is as follows:
Category A = $ 120
Category B = $ 65
Category C = $ 115
I want that when the user drills down to the 2nd level in the Products dimension (let's say this Level is called Category) then I want the %age of Sales for each category - all adding up to 100
So this is what I should get (for the desired % breakup)
Category A = 40
Category B = 22
Category C = 38
I'll appreciate your help in making such a Calculated field.
Many TIA.
I was creating an SSIS package, seemingly simple. One of the tasks I needed to do involved copying our production database to a seperate DB instance for staging. I wanted an SSIS package that would stage production so we could push and test changes.
My first problem is that I tried to create a simple Transfer Database task. When I tried to run the task, I got an error stating that our Stored Procedure, DtsRun, could not be scripted. It's an encrypted stored procedure.
A little annoyed, I decided that I'd do a transfer SQL objects instead. Now I don't want to hard-code my objects to xfer based on the current schema and edit this SSIS script every time we make a DB change; I just want it to copy ALL objects except for my encrypted proc. I'll just build a list with with another task.
I decided that I'll write a script that generates a list of proc names, and I'll pass that to the Copy SQL Server Objects task. Well apparantly I can't assign a collection value with a script. I have to create ANOTHER package that modifies THIS package because (1) The entire package isn't exposed to the script task and (2) object variables can't be used in expressions.
Am I missing something? So because I use a single encrypted stored procedure, I have to write 2 fairly complex packages to copy my database? That's just stupid. I can understand if SQL can't move the encrypted package while the database is online. I could deal with that. But the extremes I have to go to JUST to copy my database are truly rediculous.
I was really excited about SSIS, but I've been really dissapointed. The performance of the designer on my machine is really poor (I have a Core T2700 with 2GB RAM). Just about every error message I've gotten, both design-time and run-time, I've had to google because they're so obscure. And if you can only store blittable types and strings in variables, that severely limits the functionality of a package (without going to programmatic extremes).
Most of all, I'm really dissapointed in the expression system, If the CLR is loaded into the SSQL/SSIS runtime, then why am I coding it using ANOTHER proprietary coding syntax???? I thought .NET was meant to keep people from having to redesign the wheel???
Microsoft is constantly pushing C#, yet I can only script in VB.NET, which means I now have code-bases in different languages.
Overall, I'm really dissapointed with SSIS. The usefulness of the added functionality in SSIS packages is shrowded by the massive list of nuances.
I have a table with 22 million Business records. I can see that there are duplicates when I group by BusinessName and Address and Phone. I'd like to place only the duplicates into a table, with a ranking, oldest business key gets a ranking of 1.
As a bonus I'd like each group to have a distinct group name (although not necessary, just want to know how to do this)
Later after I run more verifications to make sure these are not referenced elsewhere I'll delete everything with a matchRank > 1 out of the main Business table.
DROP TABLE [dbo].[TestBusiness];
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TestBusiness](
[Business_pk] INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[BusinessName] VARCHAR (200) NOT NULL,
[Address] VARCHAR(MAX) NOT NULL,
[code]....
I've been running around in circles all afternoon trying to create one simple report using Reporting Services (with latest SP2 installed) and SharePoint 2007. To the best of my knowledge, I have everything configured correctly:
When I access http://<server>/ReportServer, I see the server name of my SharePoint site.
When I click on the name of my SharePoint site, it shows me the directory structure I have created within my SharePoint Site
When I drill down in the directory, I can ultimately see the forms I created in my forms library (created via InfoPath 2007).
The next step is to create one simple report from the data in one of these forms libraries and a report on all the items within a form library. I'm stuck at the first step of creating a report, namely what to enter as the Data Source and the connection string. With a SQL database this isn't an issue.
How does one create a data source that will allow reporting over SharePoint content with the setup described above? And, if you have information that is found in the SQL Books Online, please be kind and post links so others know where to find this information.
Is there a query or a way to convert duplicates value in a column to non duplicates.

I have MS SQL database.
I have procedure:
code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.Reg_DropTable
@ModuleId varchar(10)
AS
declare @TableName varchar, @kiek numeric
set @TableName = 'reg_'+@ModuleId
begin
DROP TABLE @TableName <- HERE I GOT ERROR
end
GO
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got error when using variable with tables names.
How to do this?
Ps. Number is send to this function and it must drop table with name Reg_[That number]
I am receiving funny results from a query. To simplify, I have 2 tables (todayyesterday). Each tbl has the same 8 columns. My query joins the two tables then looks where either of two columns has changed. What is happening is that when checking one of the columns it seems as though sql is flipping the column, causing it to be returned in error.
result set
colA colB colC colD colE colF colG colG (from yesterday)
1 1 a b c d e m
1 1 a b c d m e
So what's happening is that the record above is actually the same record and should not be returned. There is a daily pmt column that changes but I am not using that in the query. Aside from that the two records are identicle.
Any help is appreciated.
Hi,
I have the following situation (with a site that already works and i cannot modify the database architecture and following CrossRef tables -- you will see what i mean by CrossRef tables below)
I have:
Master table Hotel
table AddressCrossRef (with: RefID = Hotel.ID, RefType = 'Hotel', AddrID)
joins
table Address (key = AddrID)
table MediaCrossRef (with RefID = Hotel.ID, RefType= 'Hotel', MediaID)
joins
table Media (with MediaID,mediaType = 'thumbnail')
foreach hotel, there definitely is a crossRef entry in AddressCrossRef and Address tables respectively (since every hotel has an address)
however not all hotels have thumbnail image
hence i have hotel inner join AddressXReff inner join Address ..... however i must have
left outer join mediaXref left outer join media
the problem is that if there is no entry in Media or mediaXref, I don't get any results
i tried to get over it by using
where (media.mediaTyple like 'thumbnail' or media.mediaType is null)
but then i started getting multiple results for each hotel because media's of type movie or full_image or etc... all got returned
any clue?
thanks
I need some help.
I have created a database that looks like the following:
FirstName Table link to Main Table.
I have created a Stored procedure that looks like this:
Create procedure dbo.StoredProcedure
(
@FirstName varchar(20)
)
Declare FirstNameID int
Insert Into Main Table
(
FirstName
)
Values
(
@FirstName
)
Select @FirstNameID = Scope_Identity()
How could I redesign this to check if a value exists and if it exists then simply use that value instead of creating a new duplicate value?
Thanks!!
I have a dilema..... I have a databas eof about 60,000 users and i need to get rid of those users where there is a duplicate email address. I have written an asp utilty that works but is far too taxing on our little server and i thinkk itwill kill it. what it does is for each email address it compares it against all the others.... so for each address it checks against 60,000 other records 60,000 times.... you know what i mean. its pretty phucked.... i tested it on just one record and took about 5mins.
anyway ive been trying to do it in SQL with no luck
here is a simplified version of my dilema
*****
NAMEEMAILAGE
tomtom@mail23
tombomb tom@mail23
petepete@email23
davecool@mail21
stevesteve@mail17
marycool@mail89
thomas tom@mail13
richrich@mail65
richdick@mail65
tomtom@mail23
tomtom@mail23
so what i want to do is cut it down so there are no duplicate email addresses. I want the table looking like this:
*****
NAMEEMAILAGE
tomtom@mail23
petepete@email23
davecool@mail21
stevesteve@mail17
richrich@mail65
richdick@mail65
Can you think of a way to do this?
i tried the following but it gets rid of duplicates of other fields which is not what i want to do
CREATE table distinct_records
SELECT name, Email, Age
FROM duplicate_records
GROUP BY name, Email, Age;
any ideas guys?
thanks

i've imported a number of spreadsheets into a database
the schema is
directoryid firstname, lastname, extension
703168 Andrew Lim 78094
703154 Joseph Egan 78888
704548 Andrew Lim 78094
I realized the spreadsheet had a large number of duplicates. How can i delete the duplicates ?
like deleting directoryid 703168 only.
i'm trying to get duplicates out of the my database
SELECT COUNT(*) AS Amount,
Firstname,
surname,
Internalextension
FROM iac.dbo.sf_profil
GROUP BY FirstName, surname, internalextension
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 order by firstname, surname
How do i alter the query just retrieve records which have firstname and lastname which are similar but different extension numbers ?
Hi,
This is the query which shows me the duplicates
Some of the records have more than one records
I would like to know how to delete the extra records so that I will end up with one record per row.
select
Pricing_Source,
VaR_Identifier,
Price_Date,
PX_Last,
Count(*) as 'count'
from
tblPricesClean
group by
Pricing_Source,
VaR_Identifier,
Price_Date,
PX_Last
having count(*) > 1
order by
count desc
Hi,
Is there a way to find duplicates in one field? For example my query has person_nbr and for each person_nbr on one day they could have used multiple payer_names. I want to be able to count each person_nbr one time but also I want to group by description(which is the name of the provider) and by payer name to see how many person's that the provider seen with each payer. My problem is that if the person had more than one payer they are counted twice. Is there some type of aggregate function to use the first payer in the list??
With PersonMIA (person_id,person_nbr,first_name,last_name,date_of_birth) as
(
select distinct person_id,person_nbr,first_name,last_name,date_of_birth from
(select count(*) as countenc,a.person_id,a.person_nbr,
a.first_name,a.last_name,
a.date_of_birth
from person a
join patient_encounter b on a.person_id = b.person_id
group by a.person_id,a.person_nbr,a.first_name,a.last_name,a.date_of_birth )tmp
where tmp.countenc <=1
)
select person_nbr,payer_name,first_name,last_name,description,year(create_timestamp),create_timestamp
from
(
select distinct c.description,tmp.person_id,tmp.person_nbr,tmp.first_name,
tmp.last_name,tmp.date_of_birth,d.payer_name,b.create_timestamp
from PersonMIA tmp
join person a on a.person_id = tmp.person_id
join patient_encounter b on a.person_id = b.person_id
join provider_mstr c on b.rendering_provider_id = c.provider_id
join person_payer d on tmp.person_id = d.person_id
where c.description = 'Leon MD, Enrique'
group by c.description,tmp.person_id,tmp.person_nbr,tmp.first_name,tmp.last_name,
tmp.date_of_birth,d.payer_name,b.create_timestamp
)tmp2
where year(create_timestamp) IN (2005,2006)
group by person_nbr,payer_name,first_name,last_name,description,create_timestamp
Thanks in Advance!

Hi,
I'll see if I can explain this clearly. The query below
selects rows from the "hdr_ctl_nbr_status" table if the value in the field "tcn" from that table is found in the table "temp_tcn". I want all fields from the "hdr_ctl_nbr_status" table to be selected BUT only one row. In other words for a tcn with a value "12345678" there are 10 rows returned from the hdr_ctl_nbr_status table, I want only 1. Is there a way I can use SELECT DISTINCT to do this ? I know this usually functions on one or more fields but I want the DISTINCT to be on tcn only BUT return all fields in the query.
Select h.*,'' from hdr_ctl_nbr_status as h WITH (NOLOCK)
where h.tcn in (select tcn from temp_tcn)
Thanks, sorry if this is too confusing. Jeff
Hi, All,
I have two columns of int data in the a table, as my example data shows below.
I want my data returned to be something like those in #test3, but my question is this, how can I do it without using #test2 and #test3?
By the way, the business requirement doesn't care it's min/max or any ID when one side has duplicated values.
Thanks!
Use tempdb
Go
if object_ID ('#test') is not null drop table #test
create table #test (col1 int, col2 int)
insert into #test
Select 123, 222 union
Select 124, 222 union
Select 125, 222 union
Select 111, 223 union
Select 111, 224
if object_ID ('#test2') is not null drop table #test2
create table #test2 (col1 int, col2 int)
Insert into #test2
Select distinct col1, min(col2) from #test group by col1
if object_ID ('#test3') is not null drop table #test3
create table #test3 (col1 int, col2 int)
Insert into #test3
Select min(col1), col2 from #test2 group by col2
Select * from #test3
I am attempting to execute the Stored Procedure at the foot of thismessage. The Stored Procedure runs correctly about 1550 times, butreceive the following error three times:Server: Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Procedure BackFillNetworkHours,Line 68Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when thesubquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used asan expression.I've done some digging, and the error message is moderatelyself-explanatory.The problem is that there is no Line 68 in the Stored Procedure. It'sthe comment line:-- Need to find out how many hours the employee is scheduled etc.Also, there are no duplicate records in the Employee table nor theWeeklyProfile table.

Hi!
Grateful for some help as a newbie...
I have a
OLE db SQL command: SELECT DISTINCT convert (char(8),date,112) as day,...etc
Resulting in error "Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_Dim_Date"... so Column Day in Dim_date contains duplicates.
I suppose i need a delete in Lookup or how would I eliminate duplicates in Dim?
DELETE day from dim_date where day in(Select day from date ...
I have these two tables and I cant prevent duplicates.
SEARCH
Item
ItemID

CATEGORYDATA
CategoryID
ItemID
SELECT DISTINCT SEARCH.ItemId, SEARCH.Item, CATEGORYDATA.CategoryId

Hello!
Just looking for advise on dealing with duplicates in database.
I have a contact table that have a bunch of duplicated customer records.
My goal is to combine all duplicated records into one record.
This involves couple tables:contact,contact history ,calendar.
All tables related by common column "accountno".
What would be the best approach for this?
Thank you,

I have a customer database with the following structure:
Dept ID (int)
Section (varchar)
I need to find only occurrences of a section (eg Admin) where the section name has a record in Dept 1,2 and 3 - only return the result if the record for Admin is associated will these depts.
Example Data:
Dept Section
1 Admin
1 Finance
1 Marketing
2 Admin
2 Sales
2 Marketing
3 Admin
3 Sales
3 Finance
The query would only return 'Admin' since this is the only Section that is represented in Departments 1,2 + 3.
I am not in control of the data design and can't create a bitwise field to achieve this.

Hi,
I’m using SQL Server 2000. I have a table called Contacts and I would like to be able to have the UserID as an indexed column and to ignore duplicates. I set up the following properties within my SQL Server database table:
Table Name: Contacts
Selected Index: IX_UserID
Column Name: UserID
Order: Ascending
Create Unique
Index
Ignore Duplicate Key
Every time I try to enter duplicates for the UserID column; I get an error that says, “Cannot enter duplicate key row in object ‘Contacts’. Can anyone explain this? Is it possible to create an index column with duplicate data?
Thanks,
