MS SQL Server :: Duplicate Entries In The Resulting Table

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

<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource3" runat="server"ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:LocalSqlServer %>"SelectCommand="SELECT Product.Product.productid,Product.Product.catid,Product.Product.name,Product.Product.smalltext,Product.Product.longtext,Product.Product.price,Product.ProductSpecial.saleprice, Product.ProductSpecial.feature,Product.ProductImage.imgId, Product.ProductImage.imgUrlFROM Product.ProductINNER JOIN Product.ProductSpecialON Product.ProductSpecial.productid = Product.Product.productidINNER JOIN Product.ProductImageON Product.Product.imgid = Product.ProductImage.imgId"></asp:SqlDataSource>

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?

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#.

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

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!

Finding Duplicate Entries (with Different Keys)
Yet another simple query that is eluding me. I need to find records in a table that have the same first name and last name. Because the table has a primaty key, these people were entered twice or they share the same first and last name.

How could you query this:

ID fname lname
10001 Bill Jones
10002 Joe Smith
10003 Sue Jenkins
10004 John Sanders
10005 Joe Smith
10006 Harrold Simpson
10007 Sue Jenkins
10008 Sam Worden

and get a result set of this:

ID fname lname
10002 Joe Smith
10005 Joe Smith
10003 Sue Jenkins

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

I have a table in Access 2003 with about 6,000 records and there are about 20 records that have duplicate data in the first field (CompID).

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.

Thanks in advance for what is hopefully a simple answer.

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.

CREATE TABLE DUPLICATE OBJECT/DUPLICATE FIELD NAME ERROR Msg 2714
Hello Everyone:

I am using the Import/Export wizard to import data from an ODBC data source. This can only be done from a query to specify the data to transfer.

When I try to create the tables, for the query, I am getting the following error:

Msg 2714, Level 16, State 4, Line 12

There is already an object named 'UserID' in the database.

Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 12

Could not create constraint. See previous errors.

I have duplicated this error with the following script:

USE [testing]

IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users1]', 'U') IS NOT NULL

DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users1]

CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users1] (

[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,

[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,

CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)

)

IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users2]', 'U') IS NOT NULL

DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users2]

CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users2] (

[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,

[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,

CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)

)

IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users3]', 'U') IS NOT NULL

DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users3]

CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users3] (

[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,

[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,

CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)

)

I have searched the "2714 duplicate error msg," but have found references to duplicate table names, rather than multiple field names or column name duplicate errors, within a database.

I think that the schema is only allowing a single UserID primary key.

How do I fix this?

TIA

How To Force Unique Entries In A Linking Table?
I have a table 'Group2Operation' that stores many to many relationsbetween the 'Group' table and the 'Operation' table (each group is haspermission to perform one or more of the available operations)PROBLEM=======I need to prevent duplicate entries being created. e.g. lets say thatin the 'Group2Operation' table a record links the 'editor' group tothe 'publish' operation. Should I prevent an administrator creating aduplicate of that record? (Otherwise deleting that permission willhave to be done twice or more for it to be effective)SOLUTION?=========So far I've done this with a trigger:CREATE TRIGGER Group2OperationDuplicates ON dbo.Group2OperationFOR INSERT, UPDATEAS UPDATE Group2OperationSET NoDuplicate = CONVERT(nvarchar(10),GroupID) + OperationTagThe 'NoDuplicate' unique index column in the Group2Operation tablestores a concatenation of the unique group and operation identifiers.So when an attempt is made to create a record, the trigger is fired.If there is a duplicate, this will mean a duplicate entry in the'NoDuplicate' column. As a result, the INSERT or UPDATE will fail andthe duplication will be prevented.WHAT DO YOU THINK?==================What do you think? Am I going about this in the right way? Is atrigger a good way to do this or should I rely on application logic toprevent duplicates?Any help appreciated by this db novice.John Grist

Inserts Resulting In Exclusive Key Lock

The table in question was using a Clustered index but I changed that, dropped the table and brought it back in but I still get the lock which keeps all others out of the table. Is this the expected behavior or is there something I am missing? Could the size of the tabe affect things? This is a very small table currently. I'm using MSSQL 7 sp3.

Evaluate Logic Output As Resulting Field From Query
have a SQL2K/VB.NET05 -based website that uses a complex search query, whose results will contain additional logic to be evaluated. There are thousands of records and growing, so it is not feasible to code this within the program...it must be evaluated inline or after the query, and it is also not feasible to set up additional fields and tables to handle the logic.

For a very general example: In the .NET code, the following variables are recognized:
sex="M"
Paid=4350.00
Outstanding=28000.50

One of the query result fields will contain the additional logic to evaluate and another will tell the type of expression..

EVAL EXPR
BOOL Sex='F' and Paid/Outstanding < 27.50
BOOL Sex='M' and Paid/Outstanding < 38 or Sex='F'
INT Paid*52.33

In other words..the thousands of records being returned have their own additional logic to evaluate. Is there a way this can be done by importing the variable into SQL server and testing it during the query?

If not, is there a way that I can run the code in the middle of .NET? I know I could run scripted code while in ASP, but ASP.NET is compiled, so I dont know if it can be done there....

Forms Authentication Resulting In Blank Screen After A Few Minutes.
Hi €“ I hope someone can help,

I have developed a custom authentication extension to Reporting Services 2005, using Visual Studio 2005 C#.

In local integration tests the extension behaved as expected, honouring the role based security of our main system. Following the deployment steps laid out from numerous sources all worked perfectly. We were optimistic.

I've since deployed to a 'live' user acceptance staging server, using the same procedures used in Integration and it's behaving incorrectly.

Initially the log in page is displayed as expected, at this point SQL dumps occur in the RS Log directory, the same as is seen here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1750128&SiteID=1

Hopefully there'll be a resolution to that soon. As described in that topic, the main page of Report Manager appears.

After this it all goes wrong.

Sometimes we can browse to a folder and run a report. But after running the report, trying to run something else, or browse back to the containing folder we are presented with the error page with the message:

The permissions granted to user '' are insufficient for performing this operation.

Clicking on the home link brings up the top title and nothing else and you have no option but to close the site and re-login.

Sometimes you get the above message before you can even run a report. The error logs have the message listed at the end of this post.

Other times you log in to the website and the folders don't even appear, just the top title bar.

I have since added some verbose logging in each of the implemented methods in the extension DLL. The permission checking method return true and all the various data in each method appears as expected.

I have checked, checked again and re-checked all the configuration files, they match the local Integration files, barring the machine specific keys etc, they weren't just overwritten.

The location of the log directory where my internal logs are written is read from the configuration files via the SetConfiguration methods, if that wasn't set correctly then there wouldn't be any logs at all, so the configuration is being read correctly by the extension.

One other think that I've noticed is that the back door user that is configured in the config files works perfectly, but I can't see how this can make any sort of a difference as it returns the same result in the extension DLL as a 'normal' user does at the same point in the code.

Can someone please help me, and my poor scalp, it's losing hair at a rate of knots.

Set up:
Windows Server 2005
SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 (Developer)
IIS 6

Error message in the log files:

Querying Large Text Fields Resulting In Timeout Error
Hello:

I have designed a CV database with complete CV stored in a TEXT field. There is a keyword search which queries the TEXT field also. The query conditions are defined in T-SQL submitted through an ASP page. There is about 20,000 records now. Now while querying the database for keyword search I am receiving time out errors. Is there any solution other than Index server to rectify this situation. How can I speed up the query execution time. Please advise.

Drill Through Report -- Passing Date Parameters -- Resulting In RsReportParameterTypeMismatch
All,

I have two reports. One is the main/summary report and other one is drill through. When I pass the Start and End Date parameters from main to the drill, the original format of DateTime changes. For example, in main report the data is displayed for following date range:

4/7/2007 - 5/9/2007 (i.e 4 July 2007 to 5 Sept 2007)

which displays correct data.

However, when I click on the drill through link, it jumps to the drill through report but displays data for the following period:

7/4/2007 - 9/5/2007 (i.e. 7 Apr 2007 to 9 May 2007)

The reporting services is converting the value from one format to another of the report parameters when passing them from parent report to the drill through. When run individually, these two reports display data for correct date range. And you can imagine, the child report crashes with rsReportParameterTypeMismatch error if the start or end date had a day part greater than 12 (e.g 25/4/2007).

I can't understand what could be going wrong. All the parameters in both reports are datetime, so intrisically, it shouldn't matter even if the reporting services is converting or using different date formats as long as the data type remains the same. Is there a way to fix this and force the parameters to stay in the format they are provided in the main report?

Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks.

Storing The Result In A Variable Resulting From A Dynamic TSQL Query
Hello all:

Here is a sample query:

DECLARE @KEYID NVARCHAR (50) ; SET @KEYID = '1074958'

DECLARE @ENTITY NVARCHAR (100); SET @ENTITY = 'HouseDimension'

DECLARE @KeyCol NVARCHAR(50);

SET @KeyCol = (SELECT LEFT(@ENTITY, (SELECT CHARINDEX( 'DIM', @ENTITY) -1)) )+ 'Key'

DECLARE @KeyValue NVARCHAR (1000)

SET @KeyValue = 'SELECT '+ @KeyCol + ' FROM HouseManagementFact WHERE HouseKey = ' + @KEYID +

' GROUP BY ' + @KeyCol + ' HAVING SUM(TotalClaimCount) > 0 OR SUM(HouseCount) > 0 '

The value resulting from Executing @KeyValue is an integer.

I want to store this value in a new variable say @VAR2

When I do this

DECLARE @VAR2 INT
SET @VAR2 = execute sp_executesql @KeyValue

its giving me an error.

can somebody let me know the correct form of storing the value resulting from @KeyValue in some variable ?

&"Save&" DELETED Entries To New Table
Hi all
I would like to know if its possible to "Save" records when they get deleted.
For example: I have a table, tblUsers, with coulmns, UserID, Name, Surname, etc...
In VWD I've created a GridView which shows everything on a webpage. I've also added a confirm return('Are you sure you want to delete the user?') option in OnClientClick field. What i want to achieve is, have some sort of log file, or log table if you want to call it that, of which users has been deleted by the end user. So, in later stages, i can see who deleted who, when, where, etc... - by building a report or view.
All this should go to a seperate database or seperate table, it doesnt really matter.
My delete query:DELETE FROM [tblUsers] WHERE [UserID] = @UserID

Page Break Inside The List Resulting The Export To Excel Failure
Hi,

I have a table and a matrix inside a list. I need a page break between table and matrix and page break is coming fine in all views.

But when i am trying to export the file to excel its getting exported succesfully first time but failing second time with following error (dialog box is having following errors)

"An error occured during the local report processing.

An error occured during rendering of the report .

An error occured during rendering of the report .

object reference not set to an instance of an object"

I am inserting page break after the table (as page break is required b/w table and matrix only). I tried using a rectangle in between and using rectangle page break property. But the behaviour remains same. The conclusion i got is if any page break would be there inside the list, excel export will fail in second time( and amazingly not in first time itself).

Any suggestions how i can resolve this issue. Page break is required and cannot be avoided.

This export is failing only in excel 2003 and working fine with 2007.

Regards

Priyank.

Data Mining In 2005 - Same Input Columns Resulting In Different Decision Trees
While recently working with several mining models, I came across something that struck me as pretty odd - and I'm hoping to find an explanation for the behavior.

Consider the following setup:

A single table in the relational database represents the only case table
A single, continuous column is the predictable
A mining structure has been created

The mining structure contains a single model, based on the MS Decision Trees algorithm
Input columns were selected for the model via the BI Studio wizard (i.e., those provided via the "Suggest" button)
The structure has been fully processed
Now, the interesting parts:

I view the scatterplot for the mining model, under the Mining Accuracy Chart tab
Back on the Mining Structure tab, I delete one of the input columns
I add the same column back into the structure
The structure is fully processed again
When I view the scatterplot for the mining model, under the Mining Accuracy Chart tab, a different set of data points are presented for the model predictions
A different set of decision trees under the Mining Model Viewer tab confirms thisHow could different patterns have been found this second time around, even though all of the input columns were the same (as well as the training cases)?

(Note: I encountered this situation while creating a new mining model that was identical to an existing one. Even though the models received the exact same inputs and training cases, they yielded different results. I was able to reproduce the behavior by using steps 1-6 above, though.)

Can someone provide some insight on this behavior, or some kind of explanation of what may be happening?

Thanks,
Joe Miller
