Upper Limit For Rows In A Table?
There may/may not be an upper limit for the number of rows in a table, but is there any performance-related limit? I'm designing a database that stores results that have been acquired from a number of devices. Each device provides a set of data measurements every 10 minutes. Therefore each year a device will produce 52000 sets of results. If I design a table to store a row for each set of measurements from a device (PK is based on the timestamp and the deviceID), and if there are 100 devices recording for 5 years, there will be 52000x100x5 rows. Would I get a performance increase by separating this data into one table per year? Perhaps the year could be appended to the table name to identify the particular tables. A secondary issue is some devices can also be configured to produce a different set of measurements every 10 seconds. In this case there will be hundreds of millions of rows over a 5 year period. Therefore I am considering bulking the results into an array for a 10 minute period, and storing this array as a blob each 10 minutes. Is this going to be faster or slower than having hundreds of millions of rows? Thanks in advance for any advice, Mark.

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

Resolving Duplicates Entries In Table Among 10 Databases
HiOur product uses MS-SQL Server 2000. One of our customer has 10installations with each installation stroring data in its own database.Now the customer wants to consolidate these databases into one and wealready have plan for that by consolidating one DB at a time. But firstthey want to find how many unique or duplicate entries they have acrossall the 10 databasesAssumptions:1. All the databases reside on the same server. (This is just anassumption, not the real environment at customer site)2. Databases can not be merged before it is found how many unique orduplicate rows exist.Table under consideration:Message(HashID PK,....)# of rows in Message table in each of databases: 1 MillionHere is my question: How can I find how many unique or duplicateentries they have across all the 10 databases. I easily find uniquerows for two databases with a query like this:SELECT COUNT(A.HasID) FROM db1.dbo.Message A LEFT OUTER JOIN ONdb2.dbo.Message B ON A.HashID = B.HashID WHERE B.HashID IS NULLHow can I do this for 10 databases. This will require factorial of 10queries to solve this problem.I will appreciate if someone can provide hint on this.RegardsAK

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

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?

&"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

Upper Limit For SQL Server?
I was wondering what more experienced DBAs have observed with regard to the capacity of a MSSQL DB. Is there an upper threshold of rows where performance becomes unacceptable? I have a fairly slow, but constant input rate of approximately 2,000 rows every 60 seconds or so (that is a little high, but I'm interested in worse case scenario here). That is up 172,800 rows a day. (I'm being overly pessimistic here.) We'd like to be able to keep all of this around as long as possible. Or would a more heavy duty DB be in order for these sorts of data rates?

Question On Upper Bound Primary Key Of Type Int
I have several tables in a deployed database in which the primary key is of type int, and autoincrements by 1 each time a record is added. My question is, since ints are 32-bit, what happens when its value reaches 4,294,967,296? I know that seems like an extrememly large amount of records, but when we imported the data into the database it started at key value 1,000,000. I don't know how to make it use lower numbers which are currently not being used (numbers below 1,000,000), and I am worried I will have problems when I reach the upper bound. What kind of problems could this cause? Should I change the primary key's type?Thanks!

Convert Text Pulled From SQL Databse To UPPER And Lower, Etc
I'm still haven't resolved the issue with displaying information from a SQL database. The text I'm displaying is in ALL CAPS in the SQL database, and I'm trying to convert it so that when I display it in gridview, The First Letter Of Each Word Is Capitalized, as apposed to ALL CAPS. I've tried the text-transform feature of CSS, but I noticed in a SQL book there are LOWER() & UPPER() string functions. The ideal thing to do then, would be to do some select statement that converts all the incoming text to lowercase, then use the CSS text-transform: capitalize , to convert the first letter of each word to caps. Basically, I need a select statement or something that converts my sql material to lowercase. Thanks.
