View 5 RepliesI put this together to export the user name /password to a csv file to test my SP to output the user name/password.
DECLARE @user_name varchar(50)
DECLARE @psswrd varchar(10)
SELECT @user_name ,@psswrd
FROM ngweb_bulk_enrollments
EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'bcp NGDevl.dbo.ngweb_bulk_enrollments out C: est.csv -Sserver1 -T -t, -r

Please suggest correct answer (A,B,C,D) for the following Question
You are developing an application for a worldwide furniture wholesaler. You need to create an inventory table on each of the databases located in New York, Chicago, Paris, London, San Francisco, and Tokyo. In order to accommodate a distributed environment, you must ensure that each row entered into the inventory table is unique across all location. How can you create the inventory table?
A.Use the identity function. At first location use IDENTITY(1,4), at second location use IDENTITY(2,4), and so on.
B.Use the identity function. At first location use IDENTITY(1,1), at second location use IDENTITY(100000,1), and so on.
C.CREATE TABLE inventory ( Id Uniqueidentifier NOT NULL DEFAULT NEWID(), ItemName Varchar(100) NOT NULL, ItemDescription Varchar(255) NULL, Quantity Int NOT NULL, EntryDate Datetime NOT NULL).
D.Use TIMESTAMP data type.
Give the suitable answer for the below question and explain the answer.
1.You have designed the database for a Web site (or online ticketing agency) that is used to purchase concert tickets. During a ticket purchase, a buyer view a list of available tickets, decides whether to buy the tickets, and then attempts to purchase the tickets. This list of available tickets is retrieved in a cursor.
For popular concerts, thousands of buyers might attempt to purchase tickets at the same time. Because of the potentially high number of buyers at any one time, you must allow the highest possible level of concurrent access to the data. How should you design the cursor?
(A). Create a cursor within an explicit transaction, and set the transaction isolation level to REPEATABLE READ.
(B). Create a cursor that uses optimistic concurrency and positioned updates. In the cursor, place the positioned UPDATE statements within an explicit transaction.
(C). Create a cursor that uses optimistic concurrency. In the cursor, use UPDATE statements that specify the key value of the row to be updated in the WHERE clause, and place the UPDATE statements within an implicit transaction.
(D). Create a cursor that uses positioned updates. Include the SCROLL_LOCKS argument in the cursor definition to enforce pessimistic concurrency. In the cursor, place the positioned UPDATE statements within an implicit transaction.
Hi,
I have a table with two columns like this.
teacher table
teacher_id
1
2
3
4
5
6
student table
student_id --teacher_id
1 ----------- 10
1 ----------- 11
2 ----------- 12
2 ----------- 13
2 ----------- 14
3 ----------- 15
4 ----------- 16
Now i need the least assigned teacher_id's in the teachers table. i.e i need teacher_id's 5,6.
One possible way of writing the query is given below.
DECLARE @teachers TABLE
(
teacher_idint
)
INSERT INTO @teachers
SELECT1 UNION ALL
SELECT2 UNION ALL
SELECT3 UNION ALL
SELECT4 UNION ALL
SELECT5 UNION ALL
SELECT6
DECLARE @students TABLE
(
teacher_idint,
student_idint
)
INSERT INTO @students
SELECT1 , 10 UNION ALL
SELECT1 , 11 UNION ALL
SELECT2 , 12 UNION ALL
SELECT2 , 13 UNION ALL
SELECT2 , 14 UNION ALL
SELECT3 , 15 UNION ALL
SELECT4 , 16
-- query starts here
SELECT t.teacher_id
FROM @teachers t LEFT OUTER JOIN @students s
ON t.teacher_id = s.teacher_id
GROUP BY t.teacher_id
HAVING COUNT(s.teacher_id) =
(
SELECT TOP 1 COUNT(s.teacher_id)
FROM @teachers t LEFT OUTER JOIN @students s
ON t.teacher_id = s.teacher_id
GROUP BY t.teacher_id
ORDER BY COUNT(s.teacher_id)
)
-- query ends here
But the problem with this query is, i am using two outer joins on the same query and on the same tables....
If teacher table and student tables have few thousands of records, this query will not perform good....
Please suggest another way of writing the query which can perform well....
Thanks in advance

View 3 Replies View RelatedHello,First of all - sorry for may be stupid question, but as I am not aWin* administrator and my field is *nix, I am a little bit stuck witha problem, presented to me by one of the customers. He has few windowsboxes with some webfile and (most important) - mssql database. And heasks for a backup. I found some company, which offers us IBM's Tivolisoftware, but my opinion is that they want a little bit too much forit and also, from my *nix experiece, I know there should be manyother products, probably cheaper and better. If not - we will usethat Tivoli. So we need to backup mssql data and some filessomewhere. The best would be on some ftp.Can anyone please suggest a good and simple way of making such kind ofbackup?Many thanks,Anton.

our company is looking for a good training for SQL server 2005. Majority of attendies will be .NET developers, but some will be technicians who need backup, replication, maint., etc. training. All are pretty familiar with sql server and have experience with SQL 2000. So, it should not be for beginners. Intermediate and advance topics.
Whom you can suggest? Do you have experience with them?
Thank you.

I built an eommerce site on my local computer at work. It's now time to
put the site on our server and get things rolling... anyways, I'm
trying to perform an sqldump so I can gather the appropriate text files
so I can upload the database. Anyways, the sqldump program I am
using requires a username and password to access the sql database.
I am using MSDE and have no clue as to what the username and password may be....
My VisualStudio .Net automatically connects when I work on the site.
Does anyone know what the default username and password may be or what my options are to get this sqldump to work?
Any help would be appreciated.
Hello out there in SQL land! I'm writing a T-SQL script to create tables and grantlogins to local machine NT accounts. The problem is that I'm sending this script out to about 1700 machines with 1700 different DomainNames!
So hard-coding the domainusername is NOT an option. In other words, non-networked computers. In the T-SQL command:
EXEC sp_grantlogin [DomainUsername]
-OR-
EXEC sp_grantdbaccess [DomainUsername]
note: Domain= @@SERVERNAME
Username = Jib
I want to have a variable of some sort pass the DomainName & concatenated username in order to grant login the SQL Server for the NT user. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi everybody,
Here the environment is application in 3 layers.
So the user in his client machine, access the application in an application server that sends the request to my sql server database server.
My problem is: when I run sp_who from Query Analyzer, I see the host name that is pre-defined inside code application. But, actually, I need to know the user who is requesting the transactio so I can know right the person who is slowing my database performance....
Do you know, any function, procedure or anything else that I can use in the application code in order to provide the user or the host name from the client machine?????
I hope some answers...
Thank you all,
Hello
Currently, I am using a varchar "UserName" as a primary key instead of an Identity or GUID.
System Info:
When user's sign up they provide the "UserName" that is used as a PK.
Creating a message board type web application.
UserNames will never change.
UserNames are used extensively as FK's in other Tables.
We want to scale well.
Does anyone know the implications?
I understand Joins are faster on numerical values than strings but we will not be performing many joins.
In my case is it better to use Identity as a PK or is it better to use a varchar for a "Users" table?
Thanks

Hi all,
I want create a trigger that will log all modification to a table.
I need to identify the username that modified the data.
Here is my problem :
- they are connected to a Terminal Server so stationName il always TSName
- They are using an application I cannot modify that always use the same login information using SQL authenticationMode
So I need to be able to get their Windows session Username.
Is there any way I can do that in my trigger ?
Thanks
Hi, I hope this is the right place to post this. I am pretty much stuck but think I am doing pretty good so far as I am getting more and more into SQL
using SQL Server 2000 here.
I want to be able to get the last username who replied to a topic. The "DateOfLastReply" works great, it gives me the last date of a reply to a topic so pretty much along with this, I want to get who it was that replied last. Any ideas? so far, I have this but it isnt correct:
SELECT Threads.[ID] 'ThreadID', ThreadName, DateOfCreation 'DateCreated',
(SELECT TOP 1 DateOfReply FROM Replies WHERE Replies.ThreadID = Threads.[ID] ORDER BY DateOfReply DESC) 'LastReplyDate',
(SELECT TOP 1 e.Username FROM Replies, Threads WHERE Replies.UserID = e.[ID] AND Threads.[ID] = Replies.ThreadID AND Threads.ThreadStarterUser = e.[ID] ORDER BY DateOfReply DESC) 'LastUserReplied', --HERE
(SELECT COUNT(ReplyID) FROM Replies WHERE ThreadID = Threads.[ID]) 'NumberOfReplies',
e.username 'UsernameCreator'
FROM Threads
INNER JOIN Users e ON
e.[ID] = ThreadStarterUser
VB ASP.NET 2.0
How do I get the Authenticated UserName passed to a Select Command of a data control ?
I'm not clear on how to get the logged in username from User.Identity.Name as a string or how to pass it to the Select Command of a control.
I've had some success with SelectParameters / ControlParameter's in the Master Control context, but otherwise I don't understand how to create a Parameter for use with the SQL.
I want to show the user data from a database, based on who is logged in .
Help, greatly appreciated.

I want to establish logging using NT Security. The problem is that user names in NT have underscore(_). When I establish NT Scurity in SQL security manager, SQL Server tries to add blank names as login id and they will not go through. Is it manadatory to remove underscore from username?
Because of structrual hierarchy, I have different groups in NT to be mapped to SQL Server groups and each group has different permission on SQL tables. In some cases we might have same users in more than one group. I read that it is not possible if you use NT integrated security. Is there any thing that can be worked around this and is this problem still exists in SQL 7.
Janne Hakulinen gave me a reply (Appreciate that) but when I did as he said, I got no success. So I am asking him to reply me at alim@goldline.net and let me send him an e-mail.
