When I change a table through the Enterprise Manager, I then have to go and manually refresh all views dependant on that table, even though they don't reference the new column explicitly (they use .*) - just opening the view, typing a space and resaving it works. Obviously this is the dumb way to do it - is there a way to automatically refresh the views?

This from a SQL Server manual:"Complex queries, however, such as those in decision support systems,can reference large numbers of rows in base tables and aggregate largeamounts of information into relatively concise aggregates (such as sumsor averages). SQL Server 2000 supports creating a clustered index on aview that implements such a complexquery. When the CREATE INDEX statement is executed, the result set ofthe view SELECT is stored permanently in the database. Future SQLstatements that reference the view will have substantially betterresponse times. Modifications to the base data are automaticallyreflected in the view."My question arises from the last sentence. At what point are the viewsupdated with the new data? If I am running a transaction that updatessome dependent tables, is there a performance impact while the indexedviews are updated?Jess Askin.

This is a general question regarding the use of view and storedprocedures. I'm fairly new to databases and SQL.I've created a SQL database using an Access Data Project ("ADP") andI'm satified with the table structure. I've moved on to building somefront ends for our users.I'm running into situations where I want subreports to be built fromqueries [views or stored procedures-I don't know which to use so I usethe term query] that are dependent on the values in other controls.I've played with stored procedures and I've figured out how to sendcriteria to a stored procedure and then dynamically change the recordsource of a subreport.However, I'm running into cases where I can't add records to theresults of a stored procedure. The table I'm running a stored procedureon has five fields: (1) Primary Key for each record, (2) FundID that'sa primary key in another table, (3) CompanyID that's a primary key inanother table, (4) Attribute 1 of the (Fund/Company) and (5) Attribute2 of the (Fund/Company).The stored procedure filters the set of Fund/Companies based on aFundID from a form. I can update this stored procedure. However, forusers, they would like to see the Fund Name from the table that hasunique FundIDs. As soon as I include that into the stored procedure, Ican no longer add records.My questions are many:1. Is there a primer online that discusses the theory behind myquestion? Recordsets, updatability, working with recordsets in forms?2. What are some best practices for developing subreports, combo boxes,list boxes, etc. where the data is dependent on the values in a control3. I'm struggling with the best ways to grab objects on a form. If I'mon the main form I'm comfortable working with theMe.__object__.__sub-oject routine. However, if I'm in one subform whereI need another subform to change based on the record I'm in, I feelthat my code to get at the subform is very klunky..forms.main form name.sub form name.form.record sourceI don't even know how I figured out the "form" part before recordsource. Again, are there some basic rules or guides about navigatingthrough forms in VBA?4. Should I be developing front ends in some other environment?I know it's a lot, but all the advice from the newsgroups seems topresuppose some knowledge about how ADP, ADO, ODBC..blah blah and Ican't seem to find any documents about ADP and SQL.

Hi All,
My database's design is set out here. In summary, I'm trying to model a Stock Exchange for a Technical Analysis application written using Visual C++. In order to create the hierachy I'm using a Nested Set Model. I'm now trying to write code to add and delete equities (or, more generically, nodes) to the database using a form presented to the user in my application. I have example SQL code to create the necessary add and delete procedures that calculate the changes to the values in the lft and rgt columns, but these examples focus around a single table, where as my design aggregates rows from multiple tables using UNION ALL:
Code Snippet
CREATE VIEW vw_NSM_DBHierarchy -- Nested Set Model Database Hierarchy
AS
SELECT clmStockExchange, clmLeft, clmRight FROM tblStockExchange_
UNION ALL
SELECT clmMarkets, clmLeft, clmRight FROM tblMarkets_
UNION ALL
SELECT clmSectors, clmLeft, clmRight FROM tblSectors_
UNION ALL
SELECT clmEPIC, clmLeft, clmRight FROM tblEquities_
Essentially, I'm trying to create an updateable view but I receive the error "UNION ALL View is not updatable because a partitioning column was not found". I suspect that my design in wrong or lacks and this problem is highlighting the design flaws so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Fellow database developers,I would like to draw on your experience with views. I have a databasethat includes many views. Sometimes, views contains other views, andthose views in turn may contain views. In fact, I have some views inmy database that are a product of nested views of up to 6 levels deep!The reason we did this was.1. Object-oriented in nature. Makes it easy to work with them.2. Changing an underlying view (adding new fields, removing etc),automatically the higher up views inherit this new information. Thismake maintenance very easy.3. These nested views are only ever used for the reporting side of ourapplication, not for the day-to-day database use by the application.We use Crystal Reports and Crystal is smart enough (can't believe Ijust said that about Crystal) to only pull back the fields that arebeing accessed by the report. In other words, Crystal will issue aSelect field1, field2, field3 from ReportingView Where .... eventhough "ReportingView" contains a long list of fields.Problems I can see.1. Parent views generally use "Select * From childview". This meansthat we have to execute a "sp_refreshview" command against all viewswhenever child views are altered.2. Parent views return a lot of information that isn't necessarilyused.3. Makes it harder to track down exactly where the information iscoming from. You have to drill right through to the child view to seethe raw table joins etc.Does anyone have any comments on this database design? I would love tohear your opinions and tales from the trenches.Best regards,Rod.

I am very new to SQL Server 2005. I have created a package to load data from a flat delimited file to a database table. The initial load has worked. However, in the future, I will have flat files used to update the table. Some of the records will need to be inserted and some will need to update existing rows. I am trying to do this from SSIS. However, I am very lost as to how to do this.
Any suggestions?

Hello.
Newbie here. I've only been using SQL for about a year now and have some minor questions about sql objects that reference other objects.
We have some views which reference other views in the joins. I will call one the primary view and the one being referenced in the joins as the secondary view.
Recently we made changes to the secondary view.
After which the primary views which referenced it would not work because of this change and had to be 'refreshed' by using drop/create scripts which essentially just dropped it and recreated the exact same view. I do not recall the exact error message that was returned other than it seemed to suggest that it could no longer see the secondary view since it had been changed. Nothing in the primary view was changed in any way, just the secondary.
Some here where I work have suggested off hand that this was a recompile of the primary view because the contents of the secondary changed.
My questions are:
1. Exactly why did this happen and is there a proper name for it when it does?
2. The same problem does not seem to occur when we have stored procedures referencing views in the joins which had just been changed. Why is that?
Thanks for any help on the matter. I greatly appreciate it.

Hello,
to make a report easier I'm developing it using a view of joined views of joined views.
Is there any significant performance penalty as opposed to just having one big select?

Hello There,I'm trying to create a view that has calculations dependent oncalculations, where the problem resides is that each time I make acalculation I must create an intermediate view so I can reference aprevious calculation.for example lets say I have my_table that has columns a & b. now I wanta view that has a & b, c = a + b, and d = c + 1.this is grossly simplified, the calculations I actually use are fairlycomplex and copying / pasting them is out of the question.so what I have is my_view_a which makes column c, and my my_view_finalwhich makes column d (however, in my real application I have 5 of theseviews, a/b/c/d/e/)is there anyway I can consolidate all these views into one? I wasthinking of using a stored procedure with temp tables or somethingalong those lines.I just which I can use the aliases that I create for c in d in onestep.any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Can SQL Views insert to the tables they are created from?I have a database that is not well structured. It has a lot of redundency. What I want to do is create a SQL View that brings in all the data I need and have my application use that new SQL View instead of the data tables. Then I want to be able to insert new information to a SQL View that actualy gets inserted into the tables that the SQL Viewer is created from.Can this be done?Does this make any sense?

I have a query which unions the four select statements.....
the select statements are joined with other tables and views.....
When i execute the query i get ODBC timeout error........
But the strange thing is that if i execute the view individually once and again execute the query it works fine.......and later it justs works fine....
Can anyone tell why is it like that.......
Thanks,

Is there a performance hit running a sp against a view versus a base table. The view just excludes
several of the records based on some criteria, and all the data I will be retreiving is included in
the view. Or should I just stick my criteria in the SP to exclude the data?

I have some rather complex views to work with. Do they slow you down? Would it be better to move a view into a stored procedure? Is there any difference between these three solutions?
<B>1.Using views:</b>
Create view X
As
Select Col1, Col2, Col3 from Table1
Go
Create view Y
As
Select Col1, Col2, Col3 from Table2
Go
Create proc Z
As
Select X.Col2, X.Col3, Y.Col2, Y.Col3
From X inner join Y on X.Col1 = X.Col1
GO
<b>2.Using just a stored proc:</b>
Create proc Z
As
Select X.Col2, X.Col3, Y.Col2, Y.Col3
from
(Select Col1, Col2, Col3 from Table1) X inner join
(Select Col1, Col2, Col3 from Table2) Y on X.Col1 = Y.Col1
<b>.Joining tables</b>
Create proc Z
As
Select Table1.Col2, Table1.Col3, Table2.Col1, Table2.Col3
FromTable1 inner join Table2 on Table1.Col1 = Table2.Col1
go

My First time building "Views" in SQL...... I'm trying to figure out how to return a 1 instead of a two when I Count the number of records that return inn my view.
here's what I have;
SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.idCalendar, dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.erNum, dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.PayDate,
COUNT(dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.TransAmt) AS Shifts, dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.[Employee Number], dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.YCode,
dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.XCode, dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.ZCode, dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.eeLink
FROM dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet INNER JOIN
dbo.tbl_SysVarRestEeShiftPayCodes ON dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.Code = dbo.tbl_SysVarRestEeShiftPayCodes.PayCode INNER JOIN
dbo.tbl_SysVarRestEeShiftRules ON dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.YCode = dbo.tbl_SysVarRestEeShiftRules.YCode AND
dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.ZCode = dbo.tbl_SysVarRestEeShiftRules.ZCode
WHERE (dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.Sequence <> N'0') AND (dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.Week < 3)
GROUP BY dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.idCalendar, dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.erNum, dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.PayDate, dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.TransAmt,
dbo.tbl_SysVarRestEeShiftRules.DailyHours, dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.[Employee Number], dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.XCode,
dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.YCode, dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.ZCode, dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.eeLink, dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.Sequence,
dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.Week
HAVING ('IIf' > '1,1,0') AND ('if' > '1,1') AND (dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.erNum LIKE N'5648 ') AND (SUM(dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.TransAmt)
>= dbo.tbl_SysVarRestEeShiftRules.DailyHours) AND (dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.PayDate = CONVERT(DATETIME, '2005-09-06 00:00:00', 102)) AND
(COUNT(dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.TransAmt) > 0)
ORDER BY dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.PayDate, dbo.tbl_ProcTimesheet.[Employee Number]
When it counts shifts, I only want to return a maximum of i, as in either you had a shoft that day, or not. I gave up trying to figure out the "IF" string in SQL, and for the life of me I can not figure this out.
Does anyone know a good site with info on how to construct an SQL View?

Hi,
I have a SQL server: SQL2005
2 databases
db_repl: contains replicated data from mainframe
db_my: my database
db_my.vwRepl_WorkOrders: Select 1,2,3 from db_repl.dbo.WorkOrders
db_my.vwWorkOrdersOpen: select 1,2,3 from db_my.vwRepl_WorkOrders where Status=1
which approach is more optimal to do in order to find open work orders from Texas:
[select 1,2,3
from db_repl.dbo.workOrders where Status=1 and State=1
or
select 1,2,3
from db_my.vwWorkOrdersOpenwhere where State=1]
Is it best practice to use 'subviews' that acess db_repl directly or acess views in my_db that acess db_repl (2 hops or more if views call other views that call other views) Answer might be the obvious but just in case I am missing something here .
Thanks!

Can someone tell me when I would get an error like the one below:
"Update or insert of view or function failed because it contains a derived or constant field."
Here is how I create a VIEW
CREATE VIEW vSample
AS
SELECT ilm.ITEM_ID,
CAST (ilm.CURRENT_QUANTITY AS INT) CURRENT_QUANTITY
FROM SAMPLE_1 AS ilm INNER_JOIN SAMPLE_2 AS ilm2
on ilm.ID = ilm2.ID
Now, I am trying to update data using the view
UPDATE [vSample] SET [CURRENT_QUANTITY] = 598.00 WHERE (1 = 1)
I have tried casting the number 598.00 as int and no luck.
Can someone please help or guide me on this problem?

Hi all,We have a big table connected to a web server, and I want the number ofrows to be limited that get returned.So I could do something like this:select top 10 *from objectorder by codeI then realised looking at the help file, because the "order by" clauseis set the SQL Server has to build the complete dataset, do the orderby and then filter it to the first ten rows.So I was wondering if I put the query into a view like so :create view vw_object asselect top 10 *from objectThen ran the query like so:select *from vw_objectorder by codewould the SQL server just get the top 10 rows from the view first, thenapply other order by on it afterwards?

I've searched for information on this but so far have not been able tofind any advice.We have several databases running on SQL Server 7.0 that areessentially identical in structure but are used for different data.There are several tables that are identical in all databases.Currently, we make updates to those tables in one database andpropogate the new versions of those tables to the other databases.The maintenance to keep after this is somewhat problematic in that theuser, or dba, has to initiate some action to apply the update to alltables anytime a change is made. An idea I have to simplify thisprocess is create views that access the data in a central location.I would create a database for these shared tables, and replace thetables in each individual database with a view of the same name. Theother nice thing about this solution is it is transparent toapplications that rely on this data. I contemplated using the shareddatabase by making code changes to change all the references to thosetables to DB..table, but that would take considerable man hours. Cananyone give me a reason why this would not be a good idea? Thanks.
