Refering To Distinct Values Post(My Other Post)

---------------------------------------------------------------
My Original Post
I have to query n table(NLRImports) using the Distinct keyword, to retrieve a set of ID numbers. ( "Select DISTINCT id_nbr from NLRImport" ).

Now i want to use those values i retrieved, to process the records in the table(NLRImports) 1 by 1. How do i use those ID no's i retrieved as Variables or parameters for my next query?? If this makes sense?
----------------------------------------------------------------

First, thanks for the response.... now here is what im trying to do.
I created a simple application in delphi to import information to a table in MSSql2005. This is some of the resulting columns...

date | id_nbr | account_nbr | sub_account_nbr | ... etc
-------------------------------------------------------------

Now there will be several entries with the same id no but on different dates, so i take it dates would rather be my pkey.

Then i need to take one person's entries(i work on id_nbr) and go thru all the entries taking the earliest date and comparing all the other entries for that person to the first date and select all the dates more than 19 days after the first date and less than 91 days from first date and place it in a new table.
I used cursor s and while loops to kind of get it going but i know that cursors are not really recommended use but the performance implications dont bother with this particular job.

What other ways should i be using to accomplish this?

thanks, i hope this is clear...

Helpful Blogs - Take A Look Before Posting

I think we could solve quite a few questions much faster by posting helpful blogs here.
Some questions are asked over and over and the answer is typically: see this blog. People simply don't know it's out there.

So, if you are the author of a useful Reporting Services blog, or have found a Reporting Services blog particularly helpful, please post it here (keep it strictly to links that you feel solve a large number of RS questions).

If you would, also provide a short description as to the content of the blog.


I'll start with these:

Database Engin Tuning Advisor, Not Helpful

Okay, so i'll just let you know right now, that i suck at making quries

i'm testing out a 2k5 eval copy of Sql Server (if i like, i'll migrate from 2k)
i have a db of almost 4 million names, with no indexes, and i'm trying to have
Sql tune a procedure that i wrote to see what it recommends for adjustments.
but for some reason it comes up with no results. any ideas why?

--Update
just noticed that if i type in the full query (not in the procedure form)
it recommends some indexes for me. is there any why to get recommendations
though the stored procedure below? i have about 112 quries that i want
to analyse, i could change them to actual quries if i had to, but it'd
take awhile

DBCC Checkdb Might Soon Be Very Very Helpful To Me. MAYBE Hardware Problems

Hey guys. I've a question for you. I don't know where to start for the question but we have a SAN with 2 nodes and an activeactive cluster built on it with SQL 2005 ent edition installed. I've started running DBCC checkdb(db1,noindex) recently and am doing it every week. My question is this. I DON'T TRUST MY HARDWARE. I very often used to get the message that

'The operating system returned error 21(The device is not ready.) to SQL Server during a read at offset 0x00000b75e74000 in file 't:MSSQLDatafile1Index.ndf'. Additional messages in the SQL Server error log and system event log may provide more detail. This is a severe system-level error condition that threatens database integrity and must be corrected immediately. Complete a full database consistency check (DBCC CHECKDB). This error can be caused by many factors; for more information, see SQL Server Books Online.'

I also get the error described in http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlserverstorageengine/archive/2006/06/21/642314.aspx. I just finished running dbcc checkdb on my db today and luckily have come up with no errors.

I'm wondering what are the steps I should take to convince my higher ups that there are problems with Hardware and we are eventually going to have problems if something is not done about the hardware. I'e been taking diff and tran and full backups on this db but i don't want to go that route if I can get them convinced that it's not SQL. We have been on SQL 2005 for about 1 month now. This problems were there since 2000. Now, they are less recurring. Since, I've been on 2005, today is the first time I ran reorg
eindex for my db. Everything was fine. But, WHY ARE THESE I/O ERRORS/INFO OCCURING? All your help is appreciated. Thank you.

To eplain this further, the Xml file contains 6 different types of elements, the Dataflow splits out each type of element and processes them into different tables. The Data Transformation object exists only because the XML fields are Uni-code and the table fields are VarChar not nVarChar.


Initially using this setup I found that the Connection would timeout using the SQL Native Client so I changed the Timout on the Destination Objects to 0. This fixed the problem to some degree, however at present I can run the Pakage using the Visual Studio enviroment and everything works fine, no problem. When I run the Dtsx file using the SQL Server Agent, I end up getting the error below...



Error: 2007-12-14 14:33:19.16 Code: 0xC0202009 Source: Import XML File to SQL SQL - CP [2746] Description: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E14.

I understand that this error is somewhat of a 'catch all' and that the way the Native SQL Server Connection object works makes Error Capturing difficult. I have tried a few things which I will list as I'm sure they will be suggested...


I have played around with the 'MaxInsertCommitSize' property of the SQL Server Destination Objects to no avail (IE, changing to 50000, 10000, 1000 all of which resulted in the same problem)

I am running the ssis pakage from the server which is the destination

As mentioned above the Timeout on the SQL Server Destination Objects is set to 0

What I have already mentioned and still don'tt quite understand is that I can run the job successfully from the Visual Studio enviroment but as a job run off the SQL Server it fails...



Can

Post To A DB

Alright so here is what I am trying to do.
I have a form that someone fills out it has a text box as title, and a drop down box that is a category, and then a text area that is for their explanation.
On the back end I am using a stored procedure called sp_store_bkm. When I execute this it works just fine and puts the data that I put in it into the to table below is the  Stored procedure code:
ALTER PROCEDURE sp_store_bkm @oID nvarchar OUTPUT, @oTitle nvarchar(50),  @oCategory nvarchar(50), @obkmtext nvarchar(MAX)
 AS BEGIN INSERT INTO tbl_bkms(Title, Category, bkmtext) VALUES(@oTitle, @oCategory, @obkmtext)Set @oID=  SCOPE_IDENTITY() END
 
Now on my front end it comes up with an error in the lower left (erros on page). When I click on the error for details it seems like it is coming fromt he connection string. I cant find anything wrong with the connection string. Below is my code for the aspx page.
<%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" Title="Untitled Page" %><asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">

HELP !!!!!! (just Below This Post)

Can you help me? I'm pointing on the thread just below this post (along with the other messages on the message board).

Hello--First Post & Already Need Help!

Greetings friends:

I am a student at DePaul University in Chicago, IL. We have a big db project tomorrow and I'm proud with the work I've done so far, I've designed my own db and tested it using queries and such. Pretty good for being introduced to SQL just a couple short months ago. Anyway, I've sort of run into a wall here. I need to have an attribute of a table be computed from others.

I'm working with 2005 Server Management Studio and I have found the computed column specification under the column properties tab. I know that I have to enter a formula, but I'm just not sure on what to do. I have a CHG_HOUR attribute in a table called "EXPERTISE" which signifies how much a consultant charges per hour, based on what he exactly does. I also have a JOB_HOURS attribute in a JOB table (that links my CONTRACT table to CONSULTANT). I want to basically give a formula that multiplies the CHG_HOUR from the EXPERTISE table by the JOB_HOURS in the JOB table. Any suggestions on how I might do this?

Thank you in advance for your response, and hopefully with more practice and courses, I can be the one helping people like me on these boards in a few years.

Post SP2 GDR

I have a question about the post SP2 GDR that just came out in the last day or two. My laptop only has the client tools installed, not the server components (except for the SSIS server component). Is there any need for me to install this GDR? Does it impact the Management Studio code which views maintenance plans on remote SQL Servers or anything?

How Do I Post A Job To SQL From My Web Page.

I am developing an application using Visual Web Designer (language VB) with a SQL Server 2000 back end.
Within my logic I have a point where I want to say "Run SQL procedure GEDFinish".  GEDFinish can take several minutes, and I don't need to wait for it's results - it would be fine if it ran overnight.  I can easily check whether GEDFinish has run from the database, in situation where my application logic needs to know if it has already run.
Currently I only know how to run a procedure under the direct control of my web program, but with GEDFinish this fails due to timeouts.  (This will be worse in the production site). What I really want to do is to have my web program submit "Exec GEDFinish" to the SQL agent, and then forget about it.   It would be even better if I could build a script for the SQL agent, for example "EXEC GEDFinish Parameter=7"
Help!  How do I do this?
Thanks, Robert Barnes

Where Should I Post Questions On Sql?

Real Newbie Post...

I was hoping there would be a newbie section in here... But I'll post anyway (And sorry in advance if its a really dumb question)I am using VWDE and have a SQL DB which has been imported from one of my existing forums, when it shows in the database explorer its show like belowtblArcade (jdName)tblArcadePB (jdName)etc..etc...What I want to know is why this DB has (jdName) after the Table name and my other DB's shown don't?? They are just shown as tblArcade
tblArcadePB etc..etc.. My main questions are "How do I remove the brackets from the forum DB" as when I try to preview data in VWDE I get a message Invalid object name 'tblArcade'.I know its to do with this extra bit as it only happens to the tables that have this on the end... Hope that makes sense and someone can help me, if you could reply as if I'm really dumb it would be appreciated  

Post From Text Box To SQL Insert

Hello,I'm trying to update a single field of a record and i want to do it using a standard multi line text box but I'm not sure how to write the c# command to process the sql update.  I would also like the entry to be added into the database with line breaks. Thanks for your help 

Information Won't Post To My Database

I'm having a weird problem with an easy process. I have a section that allows people to enter their name and email address if they wish to be contacted. I have it set up so that when they enter that information into the text boxes, the info is then sent to my SQL database. The code looks right to me, but it never comes up. Here is the code I have for the button_click.
 
Dim NTAdatasource As New SqlDataSource()
NTAdatasource.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("DatabaseConnectionString1").ToString()
NTAdatasource.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text
NTAdatasource.InsertCommand = "INSERT into ContactUs (YourName, EmailAddress, DateTimeStamp) VALUES (@YourName, @EmailAddress, @DateTimeStamp)"
NTAdatasource.InsertParameters.Add("YourName", txtYourName.Text)
NTAdatasource.InsertParameters.Add("EmailAddress", txtEmailAddress.Text)
NTAdatasource.InsertParameters.Add("DateTimeStamp", DateTime.Now)
Dim RowsAdded As Integer = 0
Try
RowsAdded = NTAdatabase.Insert()
Catch ex As Exception
Server.Transfer("problem.aspx")
End Try
 
If RowsAdded <> 1 Then
Server.Transfer("problem.aspx")
Else
Server.Transfer("success.aspx")
End If
End Sub
 
The strange thing is that when I debug, the "rowsadded" value comes up to 1. The process runs through debugging just fine and redirects me to my "success.aspx" page. What am I doing wrong?
 
Thanks

POST BACK TO SERVER

hi all,

Pass Paramenter To DTS-HELP! (2nd Post)

Transaction Replication(2nd Post)

Hi all,
I am using SQL 2k on two seperate servers on win 2k advance servers without any service packs. My problem is i am using transactional replication between two servers (SML1 and SML2), SML1 is publisher/Distributor and SML2 is subscriber. My db name on both the server is same. when i am inserting data in db on SML1 it replicates immediately on SML2 but vice versa in not happening. Any help in setting up two way replication is highly appreciated. (There is no timestamp column on table which is used as article and there is PK).

thanks in advance.

Yet Another Trigger/xp_cmdshell Post

I can run the xp_cmdshell command with any other command until I put something like this is.

CREATE TRIGGER RunUpdateProgram ON [dbo].[UpdateQue]
FOR INSERT
AS
declare @MybatchID varchar(32),
@sendcommand varchar(32)

select @MybatchID = batchid from updateque
select @sendcommand = '"d:xanaduostarterprog.exe ' + @MybatchID + '"'
exec master..xp_cmdshell @sendcommand, no_output

The starterprog is setup to receive commandline input and then do its thing but everytime I try to add in a commandline to the xp_cmdshell command i get nothing.

The security is right and the program is right because i can run it until i try to add that last part "@MybatchID". If I take out the quotes then it runs the program but without the commandline input. I've tested the program manually and it correctly accepts commandlines that way.

Anyone got any ideas on what I've done wrong here.

SQL Thread/post Sorting.

I'm making a "simple" ASP forum to integrate into a webpage solution. I just recently ran into a problem with sorting threads.
I have a page that displays all threads in a given forum (Threads.ThreadForumID=iForumID) this page will have all pinned threads on top of the list the threads should then be sorted according to when a message last was posted inside the thread (Posts.PostDate)

Sort order:
Threads.ThreadPinned
Posts.PostDate or Posts.LastPostDate if it has been set.

The tables are as follows:
Threads table:
ThreadIDNumber
ThreadNameText
ThreadViewCountNumber
ThreadOwnerIDNumber(Ref to thread owner id, user)
ThreadLockedBoolean
ThreadPinnedBoolean
ThreadForumIDNumber(Ref to ForumID, forum)

Posts table:
PostIDNumber
PostTextText
PostOwnerIDNumber(Ref to post owner, user)
PostLastEditByNumber(Ref to last user that edited, user)
PostThreadIDNumber(Ref to thread)
PostIPText
PostNicknameText
PostDateDate
PostLastEditDateDate

Current "sort":
This is the current SQL statement it is not in any way correct. It's just temporary. I have tried different joins but I can't seem to get it right!

SELECT ThreadID
FROM Threads
WHERE ThreadForumID=" & iForumID & "
ORDER BY ThreadPinned DESC, ThreadID DESC

Could someone please give me a hand here?
