Storing A Month

Jul 23, 2005

Hello all,

I have been working with several databases here that are basically data
marts. A lot of the entities have an attribute that is a particular
year and month. For example, a financial transaction may be posted for
a particular month, regardless of the actual date on which it occurred.
In this system, these year/month combinations have typically been
stored as integers of the form YYYYMM. My question is, how have others
stored this type of information and what advantages/disadvantages have
you found to your method?

The problem that I have found with the current method is that you
cannot easily find the difference between two of these dates. For
example, 200401 - 200312 = 89 (not 1). Storing the values as datetimes
(using the first of the month) allows for DATEDIFF(mm, '2003-12-01',
'2004-01-01') = 1. Of course, a little extra (and meaningless) data is
being stored. In case the table sizes makes a difference here due to
the extra data being stored, we are usually talking about over 100M
rows.

I don't like the idea of storing the values in two columns (year and
month) because that does nothing to improve on the ability to perform
useful functions on the values and very importantly, the month really
has no meaning without the year, so I don't think that it should be
stored by itself.

Thanks for any advice/insight.

-Tom.

Parameter Selection Of Month, Showing Selected Month And Sum Up To That Month In Another Row

Apr 5, 2008

Hello what I'd like to display the following in a matrix report:

Parameter selected: 3 (March), 2008 (Year)

Monthly TO Summed up
ArtNo March <=March
1210 20,500 50,900
1220 21,200 64,000
1230 15,400 40,300

So, in the rows I have the articles and in the column the selected month via parameter. In another column I need to sum up all monthly values up to the selected month, meaning in this example the sum of jan, feb and mar per article.

Which Is Better? Storing Data In The Database OR Storing It In The File System

Dec 29, 2006

Hello there,I just want to ask if storing data in dbase is much better than storing it in the file system? Because for one, i am currenlty developing my thesis which uploads a blob.doc file to a web server (currently i'm using the localhost of ASP.NET) then retrieves it from the local hostAlso i want to know if im right at this, the localhost of ASP.NET is the same as the one of a natural web server on the net? Because i'm just thinking of uploading and downloading the files from a web server. Although our thesis defense didn't require us to really upload it on the net, we were advised to use a localhost on our PC's. I'll be just using my local server Is it ok to just use a web server for storing files than a database?

SQL 2012 :: Use Date Trunc Or Date Function To Select Date Range For Month On Month View

Jul 29, 2015

My goal is to select values from the same date range for a month on month view to compare values month over month. I've tried using the date trunc function but I'm not sure what the best way to attack this is. My thoughts are I need to somehow select first day of every month + interval 'x days' (but I don't know the syntax).In other words, I want to see

Select
Jan 1- 23rd
feb 1-23rd
march 1-23rd
april 1-23rd

Month-to-month Function

Sep 10, 2007

Hi I trying to find a way to determine the number of working days per month starting from the current date to the last day of the current month.And within the same store procedure determine the number of working days as normal (each month is independent from the next). For example: The store procedure is executed

September:
@CurrentDate = 9/10/2007
@EndDate = last working day 9/30/2007

Total# of working days = 15

October:
@CurrentDate = 10/1/2007
@EndDate = last working day 10/31/2007

Total# of working days = 23

November:
@CurrentDate = 11/1/2007
@EndDate = last working day 11/30/2007

Total# of working days = 22
etc.
Any ideas of how i can approch this?

Thanks in advance.

Sql For Financial Reporting Periods This Month, Last Month, This Quarter, Last Quarter, This Year, Last Year

Oct 26, 2006

Does anyone know of a way to use a funtion for returning records based on fiscal reporting periods like Quickbooks uses for example "This Month", "Last Month", "This Quarter", "Last Quarter", "This Year", "Last Year". While I realize that I can create a very long date time parsing routine  for this but it is not very elegant or useful. I thought there might be a way to do this already with an existing function.I have created a stored procedure that I pass a @ViewRange Parameter to and it returns the records that I want but I need this ability in several procedures and wanted to turn it into a stored procedure.IF @ViewRange = 'This Month' SELECT TOP 20 Customer.LastName AS Customer, SUM(Sales.AmtCharge) AS Amount FROM Customer INNER JOIN Sales ON Customer.CustNo = Sales.CustNo WHERE (MONTH(Sales.InvDate) = MONTH(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)) AND (YEAR(Sales.InvDate) = YEAR(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)) GROUP BY Customer.LastName ORDER BY SUM(Sales.AmtCharge) DESC;IF @ViewRange = 'Last Month' SELECT TOP 20 Customer.LastName AS Customer, Sum(Sales.AmtCharge) AS Amount FROM Customer INNER JOIN Sales ON Customer.CustNo = Sales.CustNo WHERE(MONTH(Sales.InvDate) = MONTH(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) - 1) And (YEAR(Sales.InvDate) = YEAR(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)) GROUP BY Customer.LastName ORDER BY Sum(Sales.AmtCharge) DESC; Any ideas?

SQL Query Automatically Count Month Events B4 Today; Count Events Today + Balance Of Month

Mar 20, 2004

I would like to AUTOMATICALLY count the event for the month BEFORE today

and

count the events remaining in the month (including those for today).

I can count the events remaining in the month manually with this query (today being March 20):

SELECT Count(EventID) AS [Left for Month],
FROM RECalendar
WHERE
(EventTimeBegin >= DATEADD(DAY, 1, (CONVERT(char(10), GETDATE(), 101)))
AND EventTimeBegin < DATEADD(DAY, 12, (CONVERT(char(10), GETDATE(), 101))))

Could anyone provide me with the correct syntax to count the events for the current month before today

and

to count the events remaining in the month, including today.

Thank you for your assistance in advance.

Storing SID&#39;s In SQL 7.0

Dec 16, 1999

I need to store a user ID of whoever made the last change to a record in a table. I have added a field with a default set to 'suser_sid()'.

Is it wise to store SID's in a database table if you are using NT authentication? My concerns are that if the user is deleted by the NT system administrator then I lose data integrety also if the database is backed up and restored onto a different machine with different users it won't work at all.

I'd be grateful for any help with this.

Storing Images

Jan 24, 2007

Hi, can someone help me with this problem. I have recently downloaded VWD and have been playing around with it a bit. I was windering how do I add an image file to a SQL database. I have used SQL in the past but I have never store an image in it. I can add text data and so forth, but I need some pointers into adding images to the sql database. I want to be able to store the images and then retrieve them to a GridView. I have the images in an image folder within the website, but I do not know how to input the reference or link to the images in an sql table.
A quick example, say I have a table called Images, with the following info:imgID (int)imgDesc (varchar(max)imgFile (img)imgTitle (varchar(20))
To input this in sql I would write Insert Into Images (imgDesc,imgFile,imgTitle) Values ("Large fishy", "", "The Big Fish") what would I need to put for imgFile?
I would really appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction.

SQL Server Storing As �

Oct 20, 2004

My forms are taking user input, then HtmlEncoding them prior to being stored in the SQL DB. For some reason, SQL is storing quotes as � and it is causing the HTML when decoded in the page to not be rendered properly.

Has anyone come across this issue before?

For example (without encoding for readability):

SQL should store the parsed string as: <a href="someurl" class="main">

but for some reason it's being stored as: <a href=�someurl� class=�main�>.

Is the above statement correct? will it store the file or not?

if it does store them then how do I view them?

Can some one please help me...

Storing XML In Database

Jul 20, 2012

best way to store questionnaire data in a database.Since different questionnairs have different questions and formats i.e dropdown, radio, checkboxes etc building such a database model becomes highly complex.

I've read that if data schema is complex and higly variable it may be better to use an xml document and store that in a databse. However I dont quite understand how you store xml to a database. Do you simply store the entire structure in something like a nvarchar column or is there some other way to store xml to a database.

If you store the entire structure to the databse then how do you query the content to generate reports.

example xml:

Code:
<survey>
<meta>
<id>sample</id>
</meta>
<questions>
<question id="1" type="singlechoice" page="1">

Storing Hours

Mar 17, 2004

I use SQL 2K with an Access 2000 project as front end. I have four date fields in a table. The first one should contain a date (eg 20th of February), the second one a starting hour (eg 8:00h), the third one the finishing hour (eg 10:00h) and the fourth should calculate the difference between the second and third column.
So I created four datetime fields. Storing a date in the first column is no problem, but storing only hours doesn't seem to do what I want. When I enter 8:00 from within the Access, it is stored 1/1/1900 8:00 in SQL Server. How can I make sure that the hours are saved with the date of the second column, so either as 8:00 without further information or as eg 20-2-2004 8:00?
