Autonumber Disadvantages

Oct 4, 2004

hi,
i am thinking of using autonumber in my table which is more likely to grow over time. but i am also concerned that what if the records get too much? is there is any other fields to use instead of autonumber? is uniqueidentifier a better option? i have a bit of discussion with my colleague about this matter.

Disadvantages Of Using Uniqueidentifier (Tell Your Tale)

Nov 19, 2003

Dear SQL...

I'm about to use uniqueidentifier and NEWID() for my new DB,

The DB may grow wild and I want to super safely create connections between tables,
so it would not just rely on numbers (that can B changed) as used with IDENTITY...


If U had some BAD experience with this or if U have any tips I can use please let me know

+

Should I take any special steps when using index on it ?

Advantages&&Disadvantages Logical Drives

Aug 5, 2005

Are they're any real disadvantages or advantages in having 1 massive disk partioned to create 2 logical drives (not including the C drive) and separating the SQL Database File & Transaction Log so that it doesnt reside on the same logical drive?

After all, it is still a single disk.

thanks.

Disadvantages Of Running 80 Compatibility On 2005?

May 1, 2007

I have a hosted solution where the web host provider tells me I'm running on a 2005 platform, but when I check the DB options, it shows compatibility level 80. The provider tells me I'm not losing any performance by running in the lower compatibility mode. Is this truly the case? What else am I losing out on in terms of features or capabilities?

Olap Mining - Advantages, Disadvantages And Problems

Jan 19, 2007

Dear Sirs and Madams,

it's quite hard to find informations about OLAP mining I think. So I have some questions to you:

What advantages do I have by using Olap Mining instead of "normal" mining (relational databases)?
Is it just faster or are there other advantages?

What are the disadvantages? The data can be overaggregated (no detailled results), can not? Are there other disadvantages?

What problem do I have to face?

Whats going on with empty cells?

Thank you very much in advance and have a nice weekend.

SQL Server 2005: CLR Functions Vs SQL Functions

May 26, 2006

I was playing around with the new SQL 2005 CLR functionality andremembered this discussion that I had with Erland Sommarskog concerningperformance of scalar UDFs some time ago (See "Calling sp_oa* infunction" in this newsgroup). In that discussion, Erland made thefollowing comment about UDFs in SQL 2005:[color=blue][color=green]>>The good news is that in SQL 2005, Microsoft has addressed several of[/color][/color]these issues, and the cost of a UDF is not as severe there. In fact fora complex expression, a UDF in written a CLR language may be fasterthanthe corresponding expression using built-in T-SQL functions.<<I thought the I would put this to the test using some of the same SQLas before, but adding a simple scalar CLR UDF into the mix. The testinvolved querying a simple table with about 300,000 rows. Thescenarios are as follows:(A) Use a simple CASE function to calculate a column(B) Use a simple CASE function to calculate a column and as a criterionin the WHERE clause(C) Use a scalar UDF to calculate a column(D) Use a scalar UDF to calculate a column and as a criterion in theWHERE clause(E) Use a scalar CLR UDF to calculate a column(F) Use a scalar CLR UDF to calculate a column and as a criterion inthe WHERE clauseA sample of the results is as follows (time in milliseconds):(295310 row(s) affected)A: 1563(150003 row(s) affected)B: 906(295310 row(s) affected)C: 2703(150003 row(s) affected)D: 2533(295310 row(s) affected)E: 2060(150003 row(s) affected)F: 2190The scalar CLR UDF function was significantly faster than the classicscalar UDF, even for this very simple function. Perhaps a more complexfunction would have shown even a greater difference. Based on this, Imust conclude that Erland was right. Of course, it's still faster tostick with basic built-in functions like CASE.In another test, I decided to run some queries to compare built-inaggregates vs. a couple of simple CLR aggregates as follows:(G) Calculate averages by group using the built-in AVG aggregate(H) Calculate averages by group using a CLR aggregate that similatesthe built-in AVG aggregate(I) Calculate a "trimmed" average by group (average excluding highestand lowest values) using built-in aggregates(J) Calculate a "trimmed" average by group using a CLR aggregatespecially designed for this purposeA sample of the results is as follows (time in milliseconds):(59 row(s) affected)G: 313(59 row(s) affected)H: 890(59 row(s) affected)I: 216(59 row(s) affected)J: 846It seems that the CLR aggregates came with a significant performancepenalty over the built-in aggregates. Perhaps they would pay off if Iwere attempting a very complex type of aggregation. However, at thispoint I'm going to shy away from using these unless I can't find a wayto do the calculation with standard SQL.In a way, I'm happy that basic SQL still seems to be the fastest way toget things done.

Functions?

Mar 25, 2006

WIthin SQL Server 2005, there are functions.  This feature is new to me and I haven't found anyone that has written their own fucntions?  I'm wondering if functions are written the same as stored procedures, and can a function be called from a stored procedure or even from within a query.

First/Last Functions In SQL?

Mar 12, 2007

hello Im having a difficult time translating this query from Access to SQL because it uses the First/Last functions.

I have a 'Projects' Table and a 'Project_Comments' table, each has a 'Project_ID' field which links the 2 together. What I need to do is retrieve a Project List from the Projects Table and also the first Comment of each project based on the Commend_date field in the Project_Comments table. This is the MS ACCESS query:


SELECT Projects.Project_Number, Projects.Project_Name, First(Project Comments.Comment_Date), First(Project_Comments.Notes)
FROM Projects Left Join Projec_Comments ON
Projects.Project_Number = Project_Comments.Project_Number
GROUP BY Projects.Project_Number, Projects.Project_Name


Now I can use Min() for the Date instead of First, however I dont know what to do with the Notes field. Any help on how to get this over to sql would be greatly appreciated!

Functions Help

Jun 3, 2008

Hi,

I have created a function that returns a comma seperated list of product id's from a table. I need to call this function from a stored procedure to help filter my product results, something like the following:

SET @SQL = 'SELECT dbo.Products.ProductID FROM dbo.Products WHERE dbo.Products.ProductID IN (' + dbo.GetModels('dbo.Products.ProductID', '') + '))'

The problem I am having when executing the above is:

"Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'dbo.Products.ProductID' to data type int."

Can anyone shed some light on how I can call the function, feeding through the product ID from the row of the select statement I am trying to execute (if this makes sense).

Any help would be great.

SQL Functions

Aug 10, 2007

Hello,

I've created a function that performs modulo. I understand that SQL server 2000 / 2005 uses % for modulo, but we have an application that was written for Oracle. Oracle has a mod(dividend, divisor) function.

As to not rewite the queries, I would like to implement the function below:

the function executes properly but I must prefix it with the dbo schema.

Net: I can execute --- select dbo.mod(9,2) and it returns a 1 just like it should.

but I can not execute --- select mod(9,2) I receive the error "'mod' is not a recognized function name." on SQL 2000 and 2005.


If I can execute select mod(9,2) then I won't need to re-write any queries.

Also, on SQL 2005, I have tried to adjust the default shema, and the execute as clause, but neither helped my cause.

I'm going to try building the function in the CLR, but I think I will be faced with the same problem.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Tom



create function mod
(
@dividend int,
@divisor int
)
RETURNS int
as
begin
declare @mod int
select @mod = @dividend % @divisor
return @mod
end

Functions In Functions

Sep 24, 2007

Hi,

I have to calculate data in function with "EXEC". During runtime I get the Error:

"Only functions and extended stored procedures can be executed from within a function."

I would use a Stored Procedure, but the function is to be called from a view. I don't understand, why that should not be possible. Is there any way to shut that message down or to work around?
btw: Storing all the data in a table, would mean a lot of work, I rather not like to do. ;-)

Thx for any help

I just installed SSRS 2005 and I have experience with SQL.



How come this function does not work?



SELECT SUBSTRING(YEAR_MONTH, 1, 2) AS Expr1

I get a message which states that this command is not supported by the provider?



It works fine with other SQL tools like winsql?

 I hope this is a right form for ADO .net type of question. 
 My question is, can you call SQL function the way you call stored procedure from ADO .net.  I coded it this way and does not seems to be getting result set back.  The DataReader is seems to be coming back with nothing.  Can someone post an example.  I know you can write "SELECT udf_function()" but I really mean the way the stored procedure is called.  Thanks.

But the thing is when I wanna use the parameter it seems the code doesn't take it, it just use the regular query I dont know why.I already use the function but it just wont work, can you guys tell me what's wrong, Please I really do need some help from you guys, feelin; a lil' bit desperate in here.I appreciate any kinds of help, thanks. FYI: I use Visual Studio.NET 2003, SQL Server 2000.Best Regards.

Aggregate Functions

May 14, 2008

I have a table that is used for employee evaluations.  There are six questions that are scored either 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.  I want to tally the responses on a page, but I wonder if I can do it without 35 separate calls to the database (I also want to get the average response for each question).  I know I can do  "SELECT  COUNT(intWorkQuality) AS Qual1 FROM dbo.Summer_Project_Req WHERE intWorkQuality = '1' " and then "SELECT  COUNT(intWorkQuality) AS Qual2 FROM dbo.Summer_Project_Req WHERE intWorkQuality = '2' " and so on.  But can I somehow do the aggregating at the page level, and just refer back to a datasource that uses a generic statement like "SELECT intWorkQuality, intDepend, intAnalyze, intWrite, intOral, intCompatibility FROM dbo.Summer_Project_Req"?  If I can, I am not sure what type of control would be best to use or what syntax to use to write the code-behind. I would like the results to be displayed in a grid format. Thanks in advance for your help.

Using Functions In Openquery

Jul 20, 2001

I'm trying to use the date() function in an openquery statement in query analyzer and I keep getting an illegal symbol ")" error. The statement is :

select *
from openquery([Big Blue], 'select cde_date, cde_item from acch1 where cde_date < date()')

The objective is to find records where cde_date is prior to today. The syntax works fine if I execute it on the mainframe in QMF and the ODBC connection works fine if I hard code the value. What I need is the ability to use the function so I can run the query on subsequent days without having to edit it.

Any suggestions??

Need Help On SQL Server Functions

Hello all,

Recently I changed over a ASP script from our old Access 97 database to our new SQL database. When I changed it over, some of my SQL pulls on my Active Server Page started to give me erros. One of them is the function
date(). When I used it pulling from Access like this :

strSQLQ = "SELECT * FROM cocoitem WHERE CustNum = '" & strcustnum & "' AND stat = 'C' AND [due-date] > DateAdd('yyyy', -1, Date()) Order By [cust-po], [due-date] ASC ;"

Then it worked fine. When I redirected the ASP to the new SQL server I recieved an error like this:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e14'

'Date' is not a recognized function name.

/scripts/order/shippingstatsclose.asp, line 45


So my question is, what is the SQL server equivalent of the function Date()?
