Hey All,
I am trying to convert cursor based stored proc in to set based simple statements stored proc. As this stored proc has created alot of performance issues. I am confuse now as I spent my most of time creating this stored proc. Please advise how can I convert this stored proc into set base simple statment.

Thanks in advance.

Nested REPLACE Statements Using Multiple Columns
I need to pass 3 column values and one Formula string into 4 replace statements and output the result in one column.

Nesting them in the usual way doesn't seem to work as that only allows for one column.

My table consits of four columns...PF (numeric), Hours (numeric), TotalNumber INT, and Formula (nvatchar)

My function needs to search and replace the Formula column for instances of all the three number columns and output the formula as a mathmatical formula rather than a string.

Here is what I have so far which works fine if all three columns have a value, but if only one is null then it will retrun NULL and not the other two values.

FUNCTION GetFormula
(@numPF NUMERIC(10,2), @numHours NUMERIC(10,2), @intTotalNumber INT, @strFormula nvarChar(200)) RETURNS nvarchar(200)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @strExpression nvarchar(200)

SELECT @strExpression=REPLACE(@strFormula, 'TotalNumber',@intTotalNumber)
SELECT @strExpression=REPLACE(@strExpression, 'PF',@numPF )
SELECT @strExpression=REPLACE(@strExpression, 'Hours',@numHours )
RETURN @strExpression
END

Need SQL To Replace CURSOR
Hello,
I have a 3 million-row table, which has primary key that consists of id_no and addDtime.
The id_no is duplicated with a different addDtime to make the row unique. I need to remove all duplicate id_no rows except the one with the latest addDtime. A cursor on a test server with 1-million rows took 14 hours before somebody switched the box off. Is there any way of using SQL to replace the cursor.
Example of Cursor:

Declare @id_no tid_no = ""
DECLARE UPD_title_cursor CURSOR FOR SELECT id_no FROM updtitle
GROUP BY id_no HAVING COUNT(id_no) > 1
OPEN UPD_title_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM UPD_title_cursor INTO @id_no
WHILE @@fetch_status =0
BEGIN
BEGIN TRANSACTION
delete updtitle where id_no = @id_no
and addDtime < (select max(addDtime)from updtitle where id_no = @id_no)
if @@error <> 0
BEGIN
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
END
COMMIT Transaction
FETCH NEXT FROM UPD_title_cursor INTO @id_no
END
CLOSE UPD_title_cursor
DEALLOCATE UPD_title_cursor

Cursor Based SQL?
Does anyone have any good references they could recommend on Cursorbased SQL writing? I have to create SQL that can loop though recordssimular to VB loops and I have been told that this is the way to go.Any recommendations would be helpful.

Creating WHERE Clauses Based On IF (or CASE) STATEMENTS Transact-SQL
I am trying to create a stored procedure whose where clause isdependent on a parameter.If the parameter @myparam is null or '' then I want the where clause tobe one thing, else I want it to be a completely different thing. I cando it easily using iif but obviously that is not an option here...Here is what I have:Select @ FROM my table WHEREIF @myparam = '' or @myparam is null[MyField] = like '%'ELSEcharindex(@myparam,[MyField]) > 0)I have also tried variations of this and tried it using CASE. I keepgetting syntax errors. Do I have to write multiple SELECT statementsfor every possibility. If I can get this working the query willactually be a bit more complex, although it will follow this basicstructure...in other words, I'd rather not have to write multiplequeries when the only thing that is changing is the WHERE portion...Thanks!Ryan

How To Write Set-based SQL Instead Of Cursor
Guys
Here's the scenario

create table data1 (dealid varchar(6) , datex smalldatetime , Tn INT)
insert data1 (dealid , datex , Tn )
values ('12345' , '31-12-2005' , 9999)
insert data1 (dealid , datex , Tn )
values ('12345' , '30-11-2005' , 9999)
insert data1 (dealid , datex , Tn )
values ('12345' , '31-10-2005' , 9999)
insert data1 (dealid , datex , Tn )
values ('98765' , '31-12-2005' , 2)
insert data1 (dealid , datex , Tn )
values ('98765' , '30-11-2005' , 1)
insert data1 (dealid , datex , Tn )
values ('98765' , '30-11-2005' , 0)
select * from data1


I need to update the Tn column from the default 9999 for the 3 rows in this table where the dealid is 12345 based on the value in the datex column so the row with the 'highest ie most recent date' gets a 0. I then need to assign the value 1 to the next highest and so on until all rows (in this case 3) get incrementing integer values. It's easy with a cursor but can't get my head round doing it in a set-based way
Any ideas

Cursor, Set Based Approach
I am replacing cursor logic in a SP to a setbased approach to scale better. My setbased approach seems to be better but it runs very fractionaly faster (execution time) than the cursor approach for a single run in test environment. I think resource cost wise, my set based approach should be better. Number of rows iterated thru this cursor is small (0-150). This particular SP is called over 2000 times in production everyday. Is it worth the trouble changing this if we get only marginally benefits, will my set-based approach work better on a server that has lot of activity (lot of connections etc). Our db server runs at about 75-85% cpu usage daily and this particular SP accounts to 13% CPU usage for 2000+ executions.

If the data set involved in cursors is small, is it worth the trouble changing them to set based approaches?
Am I doing right to change this SP to setbased approach.

Avoiding Cursor - Want Set Based Solution
Hi there!

Here is my situation:

table 'ReceiptHeader'

IDCustomerIDDateCreated
1225102/06/2002
1332102/09/2002
1444002/15/2002


table 'ReceiptDiscount'

IDDiscountIDReceiptHeaderIDAmount
111210.00
241250.00
311325.00

**a receipt can have multiple discounts**


Table 'ReceiptDetail'

ReceiptHeaderID LineItemIDTotal
121155.33
131145.33
141241.66

**for this example there is only one line item per receipt**



Without using a cursor, i would like to return a result set
like this one below using a set based solution...


ReceiptIDCustomerIDDiscountTotal
1225160.00155.33
1332125.00145.33
144400.00241.66

Thanks,

Cursor Looping Versus Set-based Queries
I know this question has been asked. And the usual answer is don't usecursors or any other looping method. Instead, try to find a solutionthat uses set-based queries.But this brings up several questions / senarios:* I created several stored procedures that take parameters and insertsthe data into the appropriate tables. This was done for easy access/usefrom client side apps (i.e. web-based).Proper development tactics says to try and do "code reuse". So, if Ialready have stored procs that do my logic, should I be writing asecond way of handling the data? If I ever need to change the way thedata is handled, I now have to make the same change in two (or more)places.* Different data from the same row needs to be inserted into multipletables. "Common sense" (maybe "gut instinct" is better) says to handleeach row as a "unit". Seems weird to process the entire set for onetable, then to process the entire set AGAIN for another table, and thenYET AGAIN for a third table, and so on.* Exception handling. Set based processing means that if one row failsthe entire set fails. Looping through allows you to fail a row butallow everything else to be processed properly. It also allows you togather statistics. (How many failed, how many worked, how many wereskipped, etc.)?? Good idea ?? The alternative is to create a temporary table (sandboxor workspace type thing), copy the data to there along with "status" or"valdation" columns, run through the set many times over looking forany rows that may fail, marking them as such, and then at the end onlydealing with those rows which "passed" the testing. Of course, in orderfor this to work you must know (and duplicate) all constraints so youknow what to look for in your testing.

Breakout Records Based On UNIT Total Without Cursor
I have a set of revenue records where there is a UNIT column and a REVCHARGE column. What I need to do is breakout the records into single records where the unit count is > 1 and calc the actual charge:

Ex:

Units REVCHG FIELD_A FIELD_B .....
3 3.00 ABCD EFGH

Needs to be converted to:

Units REVCHG FIELD_A FIELD_B .....
1 1.00 ABCD EFGH
1 1.00 ABCD EFGH
1 1.00 ABCD EFGH

The calc is obvious but how can I do this with a cursor but would like to do it without a cursor if possible? Anybody got an idea?

Thanks.

7         01/01/2007   Purchase                20                12000
 
I have a table when user add new sales or puchase will be added to this table ITEM_TXNS. The above date is part of the table for a ProductID . (The field is removed here)
In order  to calculate the balance amount using moving average, I must calculated the cost_out_amt first on the fly.
When user add new sales I also need to determine the cost/unit for a product id using moving average. The problem is I can not just use sum, because i need to determine cost_out_amt for each sales first which will be calculated on the fly.
The reason i dont store the cost_out_amt (instead calculate on the fly) because User could Edit the previous sales/purchase txn or Insert new sales for a previous date. Example THe record with ID 9. By Adding this txn with ID 9, would cause all the cost_out_amt will be incorrect (Using moving Average) if i store the cost_amout_out on entrying txn and need to be recalculated.
Instead I just want to calculate on the fly and able to determine the cost avr for a specific point of time.
Should I just use Cursor and loop all the record and calculate the cost or maybe I can just use on Select Statement?

Help Cursor Based Stored Procedure Is Getting Slower And Slower!
I am begginner at best so I hope someone that is better can help.I have a stored procedure that updates a view that I wrote using 2cursors.(Kind of a Inner Loop) I wrote it this way Because I couldn'tdo it using reqular transact SQL.The problem is that this procedure is taking longer and longer to run.Up to 5 hours now! It is anaylizing about 30,000 records. I thinkpartly because we add new records every month.The procedure works like this.The first Cursor stores a unique account and duedate combination fromthe view.It then finds all the accts in the view that have that account duedatecombo and loads them into Cursor 2 this groups them together for datamanipulation. The accounts have to be grouped this way because aaccount can have different due dates and multiple records within eachaccount due date combo and they need to be looked at this way aslittle singular groups.Here is my procedure I hope someone can shead some light on this.

Dynamic Cursor Versus Forward Only Cursor Gives Poor Performance
Hello,I have a test database with table A containing 10,000 rows and a tableB containing 100,000 rows. Rows in B are "children" of rows in A -each row in A has 10 related rows in B (ie. B has a foreign key to A).Using ODBC I am executing the following loop 10,000 times, expressedbelow in pseudo-code:"select * from A order by a_pk option (fast 1)""fetch from A result set""select * from B where where fk_to_a = 'xxx' order by b_pk option(fast 1)""fetch from B result set" repeated 10 timesIn the above psueod-code 'xxx' is the primary key of the current Arow. NOTE: it is not a mistake that we are repeatedly doing the Aquery and retrieving only the first row.When the queries use fast-forward-only cursors this takes about 2.5minutes. When the queries use dynamic cursors this takes about 1 hour.Does anyone know why the dynamic cursor is killing performance?Because of the SQL Server ODBC driver it is not possible to havenested/multiple fast-forward-only cursors, hence I need to exploreother alternatives.I can only assume that a different query plan is getting constructedfor the dynamic cursor case versus the fast forward only cursor, but Ihave no way of finding out what that query plan is.All help appreciated.Kevin

Client Side Cursor Vs Sever Side Cursor?
I having a difficult time here trying to figure out what to do here.I need a way to scroll through a recordset and display the resultswith both forward and backward movement on a web page(PHP usingADO/COM)..I know that if I use a client side cursor all the records get shovedto the client everytime that stored procedure is executed..if thisdatabase grows big wont that be an issue?..I know that I can set up a server side cursor that will only send therecord I need to the front end but..Ive been reading around and a lot of people have been saying never touse a server side cursor because of peformance issues.So i guess im weighing network performance needs with the client sidecursor vs server performance with the server side cursor..I am reallyconfused..which one should I use?-Jim

Report Based On Filtered Query OR Based On Custom Query
adp on SLQ7

What would be wise to do.

I'm creating a report based on two inner joined tables and i've got a total sum field for each line in the report. (Price * Ordered)

This results in the following sql statement:

Code:


sqlStr = "SELECT *, [Table1].Ordered * [Table1].Price AS LineTotal FROM [Table1] INNER JOIN [Table2] ON [Table1].RecieptNumber = [Table2].Number WHERE ([Table1].RecieptNumber = " & varNumber & ")"



I think I have a few options now.

1. Leave the varNumber out of the query, and save it as a regular query. And now filter the report on varNumber.

2. Write the constructed query with createquerydef to eg. "TmpQueryForReport" And set the reports recordsource fixed to TmpQueryForReport.

3. Set the recordsource of the report to constructed sqlStr on Report_open()

---------------------

Option 1, I got this working but when the database grows (and it will) this might get awfully slow.

Option 2
I had this working before i switched to using MSSQL server 7.00
After the switch i thought, this might be a problem with giving db access rights cause the users might need write rights to the db.

Option 3. Fast and easy???

Option 4 Stored procedures???

Questions About Memory Based Bulk Copy Operation(InsertRow Count,array Insert Directly,set Memory Based Bulk Copy Option)
Hi~, I have 3 questions about memory based bulk copy.

1. What is the limitation count of IRowsetFastLoad::InsertRow() method before IRowsetFastLoad::Commit(true)?
For example, how much insert row at below sample?(the max value of nCount)
for(i=0 ; i<nCount ; i++)
{
    pIFastLoad->InsertRow(hAccessor, (void*)(&BulkData));
}

2. In above code sample, isn't there method of inserting prepared array at once directly(BulkData array, not for loop)

3. In OLE DB memory based bulk copy, what is the equivalent of below's T-SQL bulk copy option ?
BULK INSERT database_name.schema_name.table_name FROM 'data_file' WITH (ROWS_PER_BATCH = rows_per_batch, TABLOCK);

-------------------------------------------------------
My solution is like this. Is it correct?

// CoCreateInstance(...);
// Data source
// Create session

 m_TableID.uName.pwszName = m_wszTableName;
 m_TableID.eKind = DBKIND_NAME;

Column Based On Other Column (short Name Based On Name), When To Do The Transformation?
Hi!
 
I am designing a dimension table which will include a short name column based on the (full) name column. For example say Product dimension where I will have ProductName and ProductShortName. ProductShortName will be the first 6 characters of ProductName. I could populate ProductShortName using:


Substring in the select when I select from the original system, e.g. SUBSTR(PRODUCT_NAME, 1, 6) AS ProductShortName

Create a derived column in the SSIS flow which does the same thing

Create the ProductShortName column as a computed column which uses substring on ProductName

Create a trigger that populates ProductShortName based on ProductName when a row is inserted or updated

Create a named calculation in the table in the Analysis Services project's data source view

Create a named query in the Analysis Services project's data source view

I usually use 1, and 5 or 6 would only be used if I only will create reports against the cubes. 3 seems easiest to maintain, so I am thinking about using that one, but maybe it is slow for the data flow as I imagine it must be something like using 4, or when is the column "created" at runtime, i.e. when the table is queried?
Which approach(es) do or would you use? Pros and cons?
 
Thanks!

Using 'IN' To Replace 'EXCEPT'
Hi everyone,

I have wriiten a query that works great in sql server but MS Access does not support EXCEPT. I have to rewrite this query using 'IN' or 'NOT IN' but can not figure it out because it must be compared on all fields. I'm sure this will require multiple subqueries because 'IN' must return only one field but I can not rap my brain around it. Could someone please help with this? Here is the 'EXCEPT' query I know works.

Find And Replace
To ensure I don't leave orphans floating around in tables when records get deleted (values from one record might link to values in another) how do I find and possibly replace values in tables?For example, if I have a unit of measure table and want to delete the value "inches", how do I look in other tables to find this value and give the user the option to cancel or clear it out. If I don't it will cause controls bound to that value like the dropdownlist to throw an error.

Replace Function In SQL?
Hi,

I have a table with a field called productname, and it has about 5000 rows, and within that about 1000 have a productname that has 'NIB' in the name, ie "My Product NIB DVD" and I have been asked to replace 'NIB' with 'New' ie "My Product New DVD" Can I do this in SQL using an Update statement? Or do I have build something in maybe asp.net to use a replace function to change the name.

Thanks

Using Replace Function
I am using MSDE. In this I have a field that contains a desciption. Prior to saving to the db, I replace all vbcrlf's to <br />'s. That works fine when displaying in HTML, but when I display it in a datagrid, I want to replace the <br />'s with vbcrlf's.

I thought I might be able to do it with a replace function in my SQL query, something like "Select ID, replace(Description, '<br />', vbcrlf) as Description". This produces an error that vbcrlf is not a fieldname. So I tried "select replace(Description, '<br />', 'xxx') as Description", and while this did not create an error, neither was the text replaced.

Am I not using the replace function correctly? Is there another way in which I might accomplish the task?


Dim ConnectionString As String = "server='(local)'; trusted_connection=true; database=dbname"
Dim CommandText As String

'Command text is greatly abreviated for this discussion.
CommandText = "Select ID, replace(Description, '<br />', vbcrlf) as Description"

Dim myConnection As New SqlConnection(ConnectionString)
Dim myCommand As New SqlDataAdapter(CommandText, myConnection)

Dim ds As New DataSet()
Dim dv as new dataview()
myCommand.Fill(ds)

DataGrid1.DataSource = ds
DataGrid1.DataBind()
...
...

Find And Replace.
Does anybody know how to search through all stored procedures (in SQL Server 2000) and find and replace text without having to open each one individually in Query Analyzer and doing so one at a time?

That would be so time consuming. I want to be able to change my table names, but I have so many stored procedures allready using the old names. To go and find each name and replacing them is a task I don't want to even try and do.

Thank you to whomever can help.

Replace Data Using Sql
I have a database of about 300,000 records.
The records were imported from a csv file.
One of the fields is duration.

The data in duration are like ths:
1 second: 0:01
26 minutes: 26:00

If i put the format of the field as time, the data are messed up.
0:01 becomes 1 minute.
26:00 becomes 1 day 2 hours.

I currently have duration as text.

How can i use sql or visual basic to replace all the data so that they can have the format "00:00:00"?
(0:01 becomes 00:00:01, 26:00 becomes 00:26:00)

I need the duration in time format in order to be able to make sum calculations.

I will be doing the same calculations every month so i need the above procedure to be able to execute it every time i need to.

Thank you in advace
