View 1 Replies View RelatedShould I Create Indexes On Views Or Tables
May 22, 2007I have a pretty large database that has tables that will contain millions of rows of records. I will predominantly be using Views just to select the data. (I will not be performing any updates or inserts). I propose creating indexes on the views. My question is - if I create indexes on my views, do I have to create them on the tables as well? Is it good practice to create indexes on tables by default even if I am not going to be performing select statements directly on my tables but via my indexed views? Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

Unable To Create/edit Views, Tables.. From VS .NET
Mar 21, 2005Hi,
I'm working with few examples from a 70-315 exam prep book.
I'm trying to view the Table design... edit/ create views from VS. NET environment.
But when i right click on the View node under Data Connection tree i get only "Refresh" & "Properties". According to this book.. i should be able to create new views from here.
I'm working with a SQL Server 2000 local installation. VS .NET is connected to the DB, as i tried other examples and i'm able to read from the DB.
My SQL server installation is a 120 days eval installation... has this got anything to do with the behavior ??
I also reied to establish a connection with SQL server 'sa' login... i could connect, but again i wasnt able to create 'views' access tables design.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Using Variables To Create Views
May 8, 2007I am stuck on creating views using the variables. I keep on getting the 'CREATE VIEW' must be the first statement in a query batch error. I understand that views need to be the first statement, but I have a lot of views that need to reference specific variables - is there any way to do this?
The code I am using is as follows:
DECLARE @view varchar(MAX)
DECLARE @database varchar(30)
SET @database = 'KateTEST3'
--Insert views
SET @view = 'USE ['+@database+']
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON;
CREATE view [dbo].[userssupplier]
as
SELECT *
FROM dbo.Users
WHERE (User_Type = 4.0) OR
(User_Type = 5.2)'
EXEC(@view)

SQL 2012 :: Should Use Views Or Create A Data Mart
Oct 9, 2015our group is debating whether we should use views or data marts. WE have some huge queries that can have many joins up to 20 in some cases. One part of our group wants to use views to pull this data and another thinks we should create a data mart off an SSIS package and run it early every morning and then have the users access the data directly from there.
I am not really sure how a view would speed things up. If I have 20 users and they all call a view the view is created 20 times is that not correct? Since a view is basically just a stored sql statement (not a stored proc) I am not seeing how this is any more efficient.

Views Vs Tables

Views Vs. Tables
Aug 24, 2000Are views used for securiry reasons, such as restricting access to certain columns/rows or is there performance advantages to using views. There is disagreement in my dept.
I created the following view PAYACTIVE:
Select * FROM PAYMENTS WHERE STATUS = 'ACTIVE'
The PAYACTIVE view contains 260 rows. The PAYMENTS table contains over 2 million rows. I executed the following commands:
Select * FROM PAYACTIVE
Select * FROM PAYMENTS WHERE STATUS = 'ACTIVE'
They seem to take the exact same amount of time. In other words, selecting from the view seemed to not help performance. Am I conducting a valid test?

256 Tables In Views
Aug 30, 2005I have a SQL script that I attempted to write into a view. If I run the script in SQL Query Analyzer it works perfectly. When I attempt to run execute as a view I receive the following error message: "[MS][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] The query and the views or function in it exceeded the limit of 256 tables."
My objective is to use the recordset from the view to create a crystal report but have been unable to replicate the "query" effect directly in crystal. (unfortunately I am also a new crystal user)
All my searches have been fruitless. I remember seeing something about SQL Server 2000 supporting 1000 tables and older versions supporting 256 in an Access forum but have not been able to find that thread a second time.
Any provided solution would be greatly appreciated. (I am getting tired of hearing the "gears" in my head grinding. Is smoke from the ears normal?)

Create Item Availability Views - Date Calculations
Mar 18, 2008
I am having a hard time creating a view with some complex math to chow availability for rental items.
My tables are as follows:
OrderHeader
OrderID int,
Site int,
StartDate datetime,
EndDate datetime
OrderDetail
OrderDetailID int,
Site int,
OrderID int,
ItemName varchar(30),
Qty int
ShipHeader
ShippingID int,
Type int,
ActionDate datetime
ShipDetail
ShipDetailID int ,
ShippingID int,
OrderDetailID int,
Qty int
Transaction
TransactionID int,
Type int
PurchaseHeader
PurchaseHeaderID int,
Site int
PickupDate datetime,
ReturnDate datetime,
PurchaseDetails
PurchaseDetailsID int,
PurchaseHeaderID int,
ItemName varchar(30),
Qty int
I need a view that shows how many items will be available on a particular day for a specified item, date range and a specified €œSite€? (Office location. For example, NY, LA, CA, etc.)
The quantity actually owned is calculated from the Transaction table. Type, Qty are the columns. (type 1 is a purchase or addition and type 2 is a sale or subtraction. The quantity owned is the sum of all type 1s minus the sum of all type 2s.
The ShipHeader table also shows types. Type 1 is ship, Type 2 is return and Type 3 is lost.
Initially, all availability is calculated based on the FromDate and ToDate of our order headers. However, once the order has shipped, the availability should change to our ship and return dates in our ShipDetails table. Additionally, there is a PurchaseDetails table that shows items to be €œSub-Rented€? for a time frame. The PurchaseHeader table contains the FromDate and ToDate for these sub-rented items to be added to availability. If an item is kept beyond the due date set in the OrderHeader, then the item should show as unavailable from the FromDate through all future dates (as there is no way of telling when a late item will be returning. Once, the item is either returned or marked as lost, it should become available again as of that date.
The view should list dates in each row with the number of units available on that date.
Also, a second view needs to be created that shows the details for the dates listed in the first view. this is essentially a list of the orders or puchase orders that were used to calculate the number available.
I think this covers it.
As I said, this is a bit complicated. i understand what needs to be done but need assistance assembling the code to make it happen.
Permissions On Views And Tables
Aug 12, 2005I am using a Microsoft Access ADP to get to data on SQL Server 2000. I would like to protect the base tables from being edited directly, but allow the views and SPs to handle all the work of getting data in and out. From what I have read in numerous articles and boods, I should be able to grant permissions just on the Views and NOT on the tables. However, the ONLY way I can make my views 'updatable' is by graniting UPDATE permissions on the TABLE! Worse yet, if I DENY permissions to UPDATE, INSERT, and DELETE in the view, but allow them in the table, the view allows the updates anyway, apparently not looking at the fact that it should be DENIED.

Table dbo.BOOK contains all the information about books in everydepartment.2. There are a large number of developed reports that run queries like"select * from BOOK..."3. We wish to have each Department only be able to see their books - withoutchanging the existing reports.Our thought was to create a series of views:create view Dept1.BOOK asselect * from BOOK where Dept=1....and then create Roles for each Dept. We'd then remove rights to dbo.BOOKand grant rights to DeptN.BOOK as appropriate for each role. We startedtesting this and seemed to get it working, but are now having problems. Isthis possible? Is there another, better solution?Thanks!

Jul 23, 2005I have an applicaton in which I collect data for different parametersfor a set of devices.

Data for these are gathered at say every20 minute and every 15 minute intervals.The table is filled with records over a period of time, and I canperform a variety of SQL queries.I have another requirement which requires me to retrieve the *latest*values of temperature and pressure for each device.Ideally, I'd like to use the data I have collected to get thisinformation, and I suppose I can.What I need is the SELECT statement to do this.I'd appreciate it very much, if someone can help provide that.Conceivably, I could use a SQL server View for making this easier forsome of my users.One alternate technique I thought was to create another table which I*update* with the latest value, each time I *insert* into the abovetable. But it seems like a waste to do so, and introduces needlessreferential integrity issues (minor).

I've granted users to do update and select on my View V1.
But i don't want users directly update my table T1.
then, i log as a standard user in Enterprise mgr, and open my view V1. I modify a value in a field, and when i validate, an error occurs saying i'm not allowed to make Select neither Update on table T1.
Is there a way of doing this ? (sql 2000).

Comparing Data In Tables/views.

Rationale:
I use a proprietary tool to data transfer between 2 databases. The tool itself uses Microsoft SSIS (integration service) to transfer data. I want to make sure that the data is transfered properly. Both the source and target database are not live database. The source and target database are in seperate servers.
Comparing Two Tables Or Views Easily
Jan 15, 2003Based on the discussion at:
http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=23038
and BSmith's idea (no relation), I came up with this silly stored proc to compare any two tables or views. Supply the table names and the columns you wish to compare and have fun!
The key to the GROUP BY approach is that it handles NULLS quite well which JOINS have trouble with.
CREATE PROCEDURE CompareTables(@table1 varchar(100),
@table2 Varchar(100), @T1ColumnList varchar(1000),
@T2ColumnList varchar(1000) = '')
AS
-- Table1, Table2 are the tables or views to compare.
-- T1ColumnList is the list of columns to compare, from table1.
-- Just list them comma-separated, like in a GROUP BY clause.
-- If T2ColumnList is not specified, it is assumed to be the same
-- as T1ColumnList. Otherwise, list the columns of Table2 in
-- the same order as the columns in table1 that you wish to compare.
--
-- The result is all records from either table that do NOT match
-- the other table, along with which table the record is from.
declare @SQL varchar(8000);
IF @t2ColumnList = '' SET @T2ColumnList = @T1ColumnList
set @SQL = 'SELECT ''' + @table1 + ''' AS TableName, ' + @t1ColumnList +
' FROM ' + @Table1 + ' UNION ALL SELECT ''' + @table2 + ''' As TableName, ' +
@t2ColumnList + ' FROM ' + @Table2
set @SQL = 'SELECT Max(TableName) as TableName, ' + @t1ColumnList +
' FROM (' + @SQL + ') A GROUP BY ' + @t1ColumnList +
' HAVING COUNT(*) = 1'

Using Updatable Views When Moving Tables From One DB To Another?
Dec 3, 2007Hello,We are researching whether the following scenario would be possible:In an upcoming application release, we have to move some tables (Logtables, look up tables, and a couple of secure tables) from database Ato database B.Rather than wait and do everything all at once, and have no roll-backplan should it fail, we'd like to create database B now, and startmoving those tables one by one over to it.To ensure compatibility with the existing code-base, we'd like todetermine whether we can use updatable views to allow the current codeto continue to run against the existing DB.Essentially, we would do this:Given a table named LogTable In database A, we'd copy all ofLogTable's data to database B. (We'd look at the transaction log tocopy any changes made on rows modified after copying started.)Then, we'd turn off the site for a few moments, and:In database A, we'd rename LogTable to LogTable-Old, and create a viewcalled LogTable which points to DatabaseB.dbo.LogTable.When we turn the site back on, updates and selects to LogTable wouldphysically pull from database B from now on.I have already verified that performing selects and updates against aview that refers to another physical database actually does work inSQL 2K5.My question is are there any pitfalls or things we should be aware ofthat anyone else has experienced trying to do something like this?Does it sound feasible?Thank you,Josh
