Writting Trigger Or Procedure To Delete Duplicate Entries In A Table?
I am using Sql Server 2000.
I have a customer table with fields - CustId, Name, Address, City, StdCode, Phone.
I used to insert entries in this table from an excel file.
One excel file will contain thousands of customer.
In this table combination of StdCode and Phone should not be repeated.
If I do it in my VB.Net coding.then application gets drastically slow.
So I want to write a procedure or trigger for this.
Here what I will do, I will send all records into database then this trigger or procedure will check for
any existing entry of combination of StdCode and phone. If entry exists then this will delete new entry
or will not allow this new entry.
Is this possible to do using Trigger or stored procedure?

How Can I Remove Duplicate Entries In A Sql Query?
I have a database being populated by hits to a program on a server.The problem is each client connection may require a few hits in a 1-2second time frame. This is resulting in multiple database entries -all exactly the same, except the event_id field, which isauto-numbered.I need a way to query the record w/out duplicates. That is, anyrecords exactly the same except event_id should only return one record.Is this possible??Thank you,Barry

Preventing Duplicate Database Entries
Hi all.. I've been scouring the forums for about 6 hours to no
avail.  This is a really simple question.  I'm trying to have
a registration page that lets the user input name, email, desired
username, and password.  I want to check the username and email
fields to make sure ppl cannot sign up twice.  So from what I've
gathered I have a couple of options:

1) i can set up a unique constraint on the database columns,
2) i can run a select statement before inserting,
3) i can store the whole database column in a variable then search through it.

My question is how to do option 2?  All of my transactions are through a sqldatasource object in c#.

Duplicate Entries
I have an application that allows the user to enter data into a table. There are multiple users so I put in some code that, I thought, would keep 2 users from creating a new record at the same time. The IDs for the records are identical and this is causing a problem.

The IDs are in the format of ####-mmyy. at the start of each month the #### part goes back to 1.

We tried a test today where we had 2 users click on the New button at exactly the same time. The IDs that were created were identical. Is there anyway on the database that I can prevent this from happening?

Here is how I create the new record id:

I get the MAX(ID) from the table
I add 1 to the ID and then insert a new record with the new ID into the table.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Duplicate Entries
I'm extracting data from a log (log_history) of patients where nurses perform various actions on a call, such as assessing and reassessing, despatching etc. This is the script:

Select
L.URN,
LH.THE_TIMESTAMP,
LH.ACTION_TYPE,
LH.ACTION_BY,
LH.ACTION_REQD,
LH.NOTE,
em.position_type_ref
From
LOG L
Join Log_history LH on (L.URN = LH.LOG_URN)
left outer join employee em on (em.code = LH.action_by)
Where
(L.Taken_at >= :DateFrom and L.Taken_at <= :DateTo) and (LH.ACTION_TYPE = 'D') and (em.position_type_ref ='NU')

Order By
L.URN ASC, LH.THE_TIMESTAMP DESC



The result I get shows duplicate 'timestamp' entries and I only want to return unique timestamp entries. Does anyone have any ideas. I'm self taught and have hit a wall

Remove Duplicate Entries
 

I am a newb at ms sql and was hoping someone could help me
eliminate duplicate PRODUCT.PRODUCT from this statement.  I have tried using DISTINCT with the same results.The ProductImage table is causing this because
the duplicates are from the PRODUCT.PRODUCT that have more than 1 image.



 If anyone could rewrite this statement so I can learn from this, it would
be most appreciated!


 


Thank you for your time

Dont Sum Duplicate Entries
 

Hi.
I have a table with Login and Logoff Time of users, but there could be duplicate Logtimes in the dataset, but for
different products. Because of this I cant do a distinct in the dataset. I need the Product and some other details in my Report.
 
I tried to make two datasets. One for the Select distinct and one for the other.
 
But the Problem is:
in my report, I need a table, where I make the Sum of the Logintime a day and in another column I calculate with data from the other dataset.(Logtime + data from dataset2). But this doesnt work, so I think, that is it not possible to join 2 dataset in one table.
 
datetime Login     | datetime Logout   | Product
11.12.2007 10:15 | 11.12.2007 12:15 | p1
11.12.2007 10:15 | 11.12.2007 12:15 | p2
11.12.2007 12:19 | 11.12.2007 15:15 | p2
 
Is there another option I can do this?

Prevent Duplicate Entries In A Table
I have an ASP.Net Web appplication with a Back-End SQL DB. There are 3 Tables; Users, Groups, and GroupMember.

The GroupMember table is used to link Users to Groups and consists of just two fields; userID and GroupID.

Here is a sample of some data:

User1 Group1
User1 Group2
User2 Group2
User3 Group1
User3 Group3

Users can belong to multiple Groups. However, you shouldn't be able to have the same user and group comobination more than once. for example:

User1 Group1
User2 Group2
User1 Group1

I can stop this kind of duplicate data entry by doing a lookup first (using asp.net) to see if the entry already exists but this seems cumbersome.

Is there a simpler way to prevent duplicate entries in a table using sql?

Thanks a lot,

Chris

Duplicate Backup Entries Using SQLMAINT
I would appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction to resolve a backup anomaly
were currently experiencing. We recently installed SQL Server 6.5 and noticed that although
our scheduled tasks were running as requested the DelBkUps parameter wasn`t working. In
addition we noticed that the backup files that were created didn`t have the time portion
appended to date (suffix of backup name). The steps we took to resolve this was to install
Service Pack 3. After the install the following was observed: 1) DelBkUps parameter started to
work 2) duplicate backup entries were created, the only difference being that for one of
the entries the time portion was still missing (ie. apps_db_dump.19980722 instead
of apps_db_dump.199807221840). Letting in cycle through for a week didn`t have any affect.
The final observation is that for scheduled tasks that occur more than once/day (i.e. transaction
dump every 8 hours) no duplicate backup entries are created and file suffix is correct
(i.e apps_db_dump.199807221840).

.......thanks,,,,brad

Removing Duplicate Entries In SQL Field
Hi All,

 

Below is a snippet of MS SQL inside some VB that retieves
Commodity info such as product names and related information and returns the results in an ASP Page. My problem is that with certain searches, elements returned in the synonym field repeat. For instance, on a correct search I get green, red, blue, and yellow which is correct. On another similar search with different commodity say for material, I get Plastic, Glass,Sand - Plastic, Glass,Sand - Plastic, Glass, Sand. I want to remove the repeating elements returned in this field. IOW, I just need one set of Plastic, Glass and Sand. I hope this makes sense.


Below is the SQL and the results from the returned page.


PS I tried to use distinct but with no luck I want just one of each in the example below.

Thanks in Advance!

10002 Joe Smith
10003 Sue Jenkins
10004 John Sanders

Check For Duplicate Entries In One Field
Obviously, I'm a complete n00b at SQL.

I'm trying to make the first field my primary key, so I need to fix these duplicate entry.

I could export to Excel and fix the problem that way, but in the interest of learning SQL I want to figure out how to do it properly.

Best Method Of Checking For Duplicate Entries In SQL Server
Here is my situation.  I have a table in my application that pairs users with cars they like.  We'll call this table Favorites.  A user can browse the site and they can designate as many cars they want as favorites.  For example, a user can go to the Honda Accord page and add that as a favorite car and then go to the Toyota Camry page and add that as a favorite car.  However, if he/she goes to that Honda Accord page and tries to click the "Add to Favorites" button again, at the present state of my application, it will just add another entry into the Favorites table with a duplicate pairing.  So, if I were to datalist the table to generate a listing of all favorites belonging to a certain user, he/she may potentially be returned with superfluous duplicate entries.  Not to mention, taking up valuable database space and not looking very professional.
In my Favorites table, the 3 fields are.....favoriteId (set as primary key)userIdcarId
I've been thinking about this for awhile and I've come up with 2 solutions.  I'm a newbie to ASP.NET/programming so I don't have enough insight to make a decision or to even think up of other alternatives.
1) Check proactively by doing a.....SELECT favoriteID FROM Favorites WHERE userId = x and carId = y  (where x and y are variables)If I get a null return, it means I can go ahead and let the user add the car as a favorite in the database.  If I get a valid value, then it means there already exists the same pairing, so I exit out without updating the table.
2) Check reactively by forcing an exception whenever a user tries to enter a duplicate pairing.  I'm not sure how to do this, but perhaps, instead of making "favoriteId" a primary key, perhaps, I can make a primary key pairing of "userId" and "carId".  And by trying to do an insert with a primary key that already exists, we know it won't work since primary keys by definition are unique.
Now, I expect some concurrent users on my site, so I must take into consideration pros and cons of each and determine which is more efficient.  Checking proactively will force a check even if the table does not contain a duplicate pairing of user and car.  However, having a duplicate primary key may be more expensive from a database point of view and may slow down lookups, etc.  Or maybe neither has significant benefits, in which case, I rather go with proactive, since I've already coded it and it works fine.  Or maybe there is a third alternative, which I did not think.  Which method do programmers usually take and which is a better practice?
TIA for your help.

Creating Tables In SQL Server Via Query Analyzer With Relationships
I've been searching around for some info on how to set this up, but with no luck.I need to have a .sql file that will set up a few tables and these tables will have relationships and contraints.I can do this by hand in enterprise manager, but need to set up some procedures that will do the same thing.For instance, I can create the tables just fine.....CREATE TABLE students ( sId int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,        studentId varchar(50) NOT NULL,               course varchar(50)              )
CREATE TABLE courses  ( cId int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,        course varchar(50) NOT NULL,               sco varchar(50)              )But, I need to set up relationships in there somehow.Once student may have many courses (one to many) and one course may have many sco's (one to many) SCO would be another table.Can someone point me to a good link that would show how to complete these procedures?Thanks all,Zath

Delete Entries In Replication Monitor
Hi everybody,

when I look into the replication monitor of our sql 2005 server I see a lot of subscriptions that are no longer used.

I wrote a program for a smartphone using the sql compact edition (sql ce db). Just in case there are some problems i do not want to mentioned here, i use an preconfigured sql ce db, reinitialize it and afterwards synchronize it. Then the old subscription is no longer used.

The problem is that up to now I did find a way to delete this unused subscriptions at the publisher database. As a hint: there is no way to get access to the old sql ce db for removement issues. The dbs are gone.

So, is there a way to solve my problem?

We are using sql 2005 server as publisher and are using merge replication.

Thanks for help in advanced

Delete From 2 Tables With 1 SQL Query
I have 2 tables that are joined together by a primary key (Order Number). Can I use one SQL query to delete from both of the tables. One table contains the order information from a client (Order Number, Customer Name etc). The other table has order information (Order Number, Item Number, Quantity Ordered etc.)

I need one statement that will allow me to remove the items from both tables. Can this be done.

Thanks in Advance

HELP - Exporting Database Without DTS / Query Analyzer
Dear SQL,

I have an MS SQL account somewhere on the net
and I had problems using DTS for import/export data as OBJECTs
(which including things like IDENTITY fields and Primary key...)

Though SP3 is updated on both edges - I just can get a working solution,

I'm was trying to export Table data & schema using an amazing Tool I found:
(WebDataAdmin.msi)

But it still gives me hard time on NTEXT fields that has UNICODE (UTF-8) characters
so the import can NOT work (unrecognized characters...)


Finally:
~~~~~
1. Do U know any other tool like this one that allow exporting data
(also with UNICODE characters)

2. Do U have an idea how can I fix this (great looking) Tool from Microsoft
maybe I can tell it to create a UTF-8 file instead of just ANSI file ? (HOW ?)

Can I Find The Space Allocated For A Database W/ Query Analyzer Using 7.0?
My group is trying to ensure that there is a sufficient amount of cushion between the space allocated and the current size of a database. I know that I can check this using the Enterprise Manager.

Viewing Database Via Query Analyzer And/or Enterprise Manager
We are running SQL 2000 SP3 on a Win2K server with multiple user databases. Our current problem is the ability of users to view the database objects via the native tools.

Example: User Bob
Bob has the following rights:
DB A – datareader/datawriter
DB B – datareader/datawriter
DB C – datareader
DB D – datareader
DB E – datareader/datawriter

The user has no builder rights or server roles.

In Enterprise Manager, the user can not see any databases. In Query Analyzer, the user can only see DB A, B, and C. Anyone seen this problem before and/or have suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

How To Delete Unwanted Data From Multiple Different Tables With One Single SQL Query?
This a microsoft SQL 2000 server.
I have a DB with mutliple tables that have a column called "Date_stamp", which is used as a primary ID.
Here is my problem:
Some of tables have a bad datetime entry for the "Date_stamp". The bad entry is '2008-3-18". I need to delete this entry from every single table that has a name similary to 'Elect_Sub%Daily'.
 
I know how to get the user table names from the DB as follows:

SELECT name
FROM dbo.sysobjects
WHERE xtype = 'U' and name like 'Elect_Sub%Daily'
 
What I need to do is have a query that will basically scroll through the tables name produced by the above query and search and delete the entries that read '2008-3-18".
