Hi everyone -
I am building from the Time Tracker Start Kit, trying to get a better feel for how MS thinks we should do things.
In my editing, I have built a new Stored Procedure, trying to pull the newest entries for a specified person.
I have the following that will return all entries for a specific person, sorted by date, newest first:
SELECT
EntryLogID, TT_EntryLog.Description, Duration, EntryDate, TT_EntryLog.ProjectID AS ProjectID,
TT_EntryLog.CategoryID AS CategoryID, TT_Categories.Abbreviation AS CategoryName, TT_Projects.Name AS ProjectName,
ManagerUserID, TT_Categories.Abbreviation AS CatShortName
FROM
TT_EntryLog
INNER JOIN
TT_Categories
ON
TT_EntryLog.CategoryID = TT_Categories.CategoryID
INNER JOIN
TT_Projects
ON
TT_EntryLog.ProjectID = TT_Projects.ProjectID
WHERE
UserID = @UserID
ORDER BY
EntryDate Desc
This will return something like:
EntryLogId Description Duration EntryDate ProjectID CategoryID CategoryName ProjectName ManagerUserID CatShortName

Any ideas?

Hello,
I am trying to select the last entry (by date) for each category in a table.
For example, if my table had the following fields;
id, category, product, datePosted,....
...how would I select the last product for each category posted by date?
Any guidance is appreciated.
Thanks,
AC
Probably a simple solution, but can't find it my brain right now!

I got 3 table below
Region

CuisineID

RetaurantID
CuisineID
RegionID
Data
RegionID RegionName ParentID

RestaurantID CuisineID RegionID
1 1 4
2 1 2
3 2 5
4 1 3
What I would like is to write a stored procedure to browse the restaurant by either regionname or cuisinename.
I tried to create the view from those three table and create the stored procedure to search from the view based on criterias
I tried to search for regionName = RN_1 & CuisineName = 2 the result is empty. It is true because there is no restaurant under that region however what I want to have is list all restaurants under that RegionName children e.g
RN_1 has RN_1_1 & RN_1_2 & RN_1_3 so the result should be displayed as
RestaurantID CuisineID RegionName ParentID
1 1 RN_1_2 1
4 2 RN_1_1 1
Could anyone help me to do so. Thank you

I need to randomly order the selected rows from my table. Is this better to do on the Application level or in a stored procedure using "orderby NewID()"?
Which is faster? There will be about 100 rows returned with 10 columns.

Hi,
I have a simple table:
Categories
----------
CategoryID
ParentID
Name
I want to associate my Products to a category so that I can search by category....ok. If I just have a simlpe table:
CategoryProducts
-------------------
CategoryId
ProductId
I can link a product to a category. Now, if I just link a product to a single category, such as the bottom leaf category:
Self Help / Personal Development / Spiritual / Meditation
I would link a product to the Meditation category. However if I
click on Self Help while browsing, I want to see all items underneath
Personal Development, Spiritual and Meditiation. So my question
is is this a good way to store the product-category relationships, or
should I put many entries into CategoryProducts to keep the queries
simlpe and faster? Are they faster doing it this way? In this way there
would be 4 entries for a product in meditation. My personal idea
is that adding all entries up a tree arm of a category path will be
cumbersome to manage, but it does solve the problem of clicking on Self
Help and seeing all products that exist within sub-categories. I
am sure an SQL query would be able to work this out, but I dont know if
performance would be something to consider on an ecommerce site? Are
there any patterns fo rthis stuff - seems a reasonably repeatable
pattern for business sites?
Thanks,
jr.

Given the data below, I have a couple needs:
1) Query to determine if any date ranges overlap (regardless of category, e.g., row ids 6 & 7 below)
2) Query to determine if any date ranges of the same category overlap
declare @t1 table (id int primary key, category int, start_date datetime, end_date datetime)
insert @t1 select 1, 1, '1/1/2015 12:00:00 AM', '1/15/2015 12:59:59 PM'
insert @t1 select 2, 1, '1/16/2015 12:00:00 AM', '1/31/2015 12:59:59 PM'
insert @t1 select 3, 1, '2/1/2015 12:00:00 AM', '2/15/2015 12:59:59 PM'
insert @t1 select 4, 1, '2/16/2015 12:00:00 AM', '2/28/2015 12:59:59 PM'

I used to do this with classic asp but I'm not sure how to do it with .net.Basically I would take a table of Categories, Then I would loop through those. Within each loop I would call another stored procedure to get each item in that Category. I'll try to explain, Lets say category 2 has a player Reggie Bush and a player Drew Brees, and category 5 has Michael Vick, but the other categories have no items.Just for an example.. Category Table: ID Category1 Saints2 Falcons3 Bucaneers4 Chargers5 FalconsPlayer Table:ID CategoryID Player News Player Last Updated1 1 Reggie Bush Poetry in motion 9/21/20062 1 Drew Brees What shoulder injury? 9/18/20063 5 Michael Vick Break a leg, seriously. 9/20/2006 Basically I would need to display on a page:SaintsReggie BushPoetry in MotionFalconsMichael VickBreak a leg, seriously.So that the Drew Brees update doesnt display, only the Reggie Bush one, which is the latest.I have my stored procedures put together to do this. I just don't know how to loop through and display it on a page. Right now I have two datareaders in the code behind but ideally something like this, I would think the code would go on the page itself, around the html.

I was working on figuring out where a certain application wasstoring the multiple selection choices I was doing through the app.I finally figured out that they were being store in an IMAGEdata type colum with the variable length of 26 bytes.This is the first time I ran into such way of storing multipleselections in a single Image data type.Is this a better alternative than to store into a One-to-Manytables? If so then I'll have to consider using the Image datatype approach next time I have to do something like storing1 to thousands of selections.Thank you

Not sure if this is possible, but maybe. I have a table that contains a bunch of logs.
I'm doing something like SELECT * FROM LOGS. The primary key in this table is LogID.
I have another table that contains error messages. Each LogID could have multiple error messages associated with it. To get the error messages.
When I perform my first select query listed above, I would like one of the columns to be populated with ALL the error messages for that particular LogID (SELECT * FROM ERRORS WHERE LogID = MyLogID).
Any thoughts as to how I could accomplish such a daring feat?

Hi,
I have a table defined as such:
PosterArtId int no 4 10 0 no (n/a) (n/a) NULL
Graphic image no 16 yes (n/a) (n/a) NULL
GraphicFilename varchar no 50 no no no SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
I have a Stored Procedure defined in the database that queries this table (joins with some other tables) that takes about 1 1/2 minutes to return results (running directly in query analyzer). The table itself has 8900 records and the resulting stored procedure returns 33 rows.
I have backed up this database and restored it to another database on a different machine also running SQL Server 2000. When I run the same stored procedure on this 2nd database (note the contents of the database and this table are exactly the same), it runs very quickly - in about 2 seconds.
I'm trying to figure out what is causing the query to run so slow on the original database, which is our production database server (note that none of the other queries seem to be running extra slow on this machine, just this particular one).
I've since been reading up on storing images in the database and I don't think the images are stored "text in row" - I ran the command: €œSELECT OBJECTPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID('tblPosterArt'),'TableTextInRowLimit')€? and got a 0 return value.
My ultimate goal is to figure out:
1) why the timing is so different on the two databases even though the have the same data
2) is there something we can do to speed up the results on our production server
For the first goal, I'm heading down the path that something in the database backup/restore did not recreate the btree storage of the image data in the same manner. Would this be correct? If not, is there some kind of analysis that I can do that will tell me some useful information?
I've run the Stored Procedure for both databases in query analyzer with the "show execution plan", "trace", and "statistics" turned on. In the Execution Plan of the production database I see a significant amount of time in three areas: Nested Loops/Left Semi Join, Clustered Index Scan, and Clustered Index Seek. But being as I'm not a dba (nor do we have one on staff), I'm not sure how to interpret this data. I keep wanting to point to some sort of environment issue since the data is the same between the two machines.
I suppose there is nothing to do about the 2nd goal without knowing why the query on the one machine is taking so long. Any thoughts on how to get more information here?
Thanks,
Beth

I am using the 3-tiered architecture design (presentation, business laws, and data acess layers). I am stuck on how to send the image the user selects in the upload file control to the BLL and then to the DAL because the DAL does all the inserts into the database. I would like to be able to check the file type in the BLL to make sure the file being uploaded is indeed a picture. Is there a way I can send the location of the file to the BLL, check the filetype, then upload the file and have the DAL insert the image into the database? I have seen examples where people use streams to upload the file directly from their presentation layer, but I would like to keep everything seperated in the three classes if possible. I also wasn't sure what variable type the image would be in the function in the BLL that receive the image from the PL. If there are any examples or tips anyone can give me that would be appreciated.

HI
I have a very simple query that simply does this: select * from badgetemplates where badgeid=39 , the badge template table has four fields, one of them is of type IMAGE, however the data on badge 39 IMAGE field only amounts to about 600kb, it used to run very quickly (a second or so) now it takes over a minute, i have checked this via the SQL profiler. What is strange is if I remove some of the data stored within the IMAGE field and reduce it to much smaller that 600kb it runs very quickly again. 600kb is fairly small and it used to return this very quickly as I say. Other queries are running at normal speed and the server perfomance does not seem to be reduced elsewhere, it only seems to have effected this only table but only with data over a certain size, the table itself only contains 20 or so rows. What could this be?!
Any help would be really appreciated as I have no clue.....

Ok, the problem is that , i have a field called "Attach" in sql of type image, when selecting it , the field is getting data of type BYTE(). which am being unable to display them on an Image on the panel.
using the following vb.net code:
'Dim sel2 As String
'Dim myCom As SqlCommand
'Dim conn As New SqlConnection
'Dim drr As SqlDataReader
'Dim image As System.Drawing.Image
'sel2 = "select * from attach where att_desc = '" & DropDownList1.SelectedItem().Text & "' and doc_code = " & w_doc_code & " and subcode = " & w_doc_subcode & " and doc_num= " & w_doc_num & " "
'conn.ConnectionString = ("server=developer01;uid=sa;password=aims;database=DVPSOC;timeout=45")
'myCom = New SqlCommand(sel2, conn)
'conn.Open()
'drr = myCom.ExecuteReader()
'If drr.Read Then
' Me.ImageMap1.ImageUrl = drr.Item("attach")
'End If
'conn.Close()
Am getting an exeption on the following line Me.ImageMap1.ImageUrl = drr.Item("attach")
saying: Conversion from type 'Byte()' to type 'String' is not valid.
knowing that i tried converting using ToString but it's not getting any output then.
thanks for your help.

Hi, not exactly too sure if this can be done but I have a need to run a query which will return a list of values from 1 column. Then I need to iterate this list to produce the resultset for return.
This is implemented as a stored procedure
declare @OwnerIdent varchar(7)
set @OwnerIdent='A12345B'
SELECT table1.val1 FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2
ON table1. Ident = table2.Ident
WHERE table2.Ident = @OwnerIdent
'Now for each result of the above I need to run the below query
SELECT Clients.Name , Clients.Address1 ,
Clients.BPhone, Clients.email
FROM Clients INNER JOIN Growers ON Clients.ClientKey = Growers.ClientKey
WHERE Growers.PIN = @newpin)
'@newpin being the result from first query

Hello,
I have a table with some data in it.
What I want to do is to create a query that returns me randomly
one of the records of the table. Can this be done?
If this is not possible from SQL server I have thought an
alternative way. This is:
I want to return all rows of the table with SELECT *,
but I want the select to return in the first column an
autoincreament number for each row without the need to add
an autoincrement field in the table. e.g
Table
------
Banana
Tomatoe
Aple
...
...
Orange
Result from select
------------------
1 Banana
2 Tomatoe
3 Aple
. ....
. ....
23 Orange
Can this be done?
At least this way
1) I can travel to the end of the results (from ASP),
2) read the ID of the last row
3) Create a random integer number from 1 to last ID,
4) and finaly select the appropriate random row from that integer.
Can anybody help me please?
Thanks for any help in advance!
Yours, sincerely

I have a very weird issue in my latest package. I run it and it just randomly stops. When I watch it in debug mode or not in debugging a command prompt window will flash for an instant (too fast to read) and then the package will stop. It stops inside of a for each loop and the "on completion" is never fired for the loop. I never receive any errors - its just like someone hit the stop button. Sometimes it will process hundreds of files before stopping, other times only a few. (And its not stopping on the same file each time.. it doesn't appear to be related to the file at all)
Any ideas what could be going on? How to troubleshoot?

I have a directory with images and a table in my DB with the path of each file. The main application allow me to create reports where I can display an image, so I was thinking to use a query like:
SELECT [ID]
,[PT_CODE]
,[FILE_PATH],
CASE WHEN [FILE_PATH] IS NOT NULL THEN
(SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK [FILE_PATH], SINGLE_BLOB) TT)
END
AS IMAGE_LOADED
FROM [DB].[dbo].[TABLE_MR_FILES]But I keep getting the error:
Incorrect syntax near 'FILE_PATH'.I have try multiple combinations without luck to make the OPENROWSET read the path stored in the column [FILE_PATH]. What am I missing?
Note: I am using MSSQL 2012. I don't want to import the images into the DB just load them in the fly as needed by the report runned from the application. I have full access to the DB so if a store procedure is the solution I can go with it.
