Let say I have 6 tables. I want to autogenerate the PK for each table and that is unique for each table and cant be duplicated on other tables. Let say I have table with PK of 1, so table2 to table6 wouldnt have a PK of 1. If table2 have a PK of 2, table1, table3 to table6 wouldnt have a PK of 2. Same for others. Identity will not be appropriate. Will 'uniqueidentifier' data type suffice? How bout guid? Or what must be my datatype? Or what will I do to implement this? Any links? Thanks
I have a transaction table having about 40 crore rows in source. It don't have timestamp and unique key columns. It have only Bill_month and Bill_Year columns. Actually for loading this table into staging I have added a new datetime column by adding default bill_date as 01. Then
* First we delete last 3 month data from staging tables. * Get last 3 months data from source table. * Load that 3 months data from source to staging table.
We do this because we only get update for last three months data. Now I have to include this transaction table as Fact table in DW. What will be the best practice for loading the fact table by picking data form staging table. Also we have to look up with dimensions for Foreign Keys.
* Should I implement the same method of deleting last 3 months records and loading them again.
need help how to archiv table to another table with unique number for all rows once + date time (not the second only day time +minute) i need whan i insert to the another table add 2 more fields (unique number , date_time )

I had a table named "info" and I would like to show Lot_Id as distinct. Besides that , I would also like to show wafer_id and wafer_starttime. May I know how to construct this using select statement?
My head hurts...it might be an easy one for many people, but cant seem to figure a way to do it.Ok, I have a table with a field called Ad_Price. This field is a nvarchar one, theres many different value in it, all of them corresponding to a price. Now, what I want to do is only get the row that are not written in a good price format (like123$ is wrong, but 123.00 is good, but only value following this exemple)For exemple, if I have all these value145.876785.34654$45 to negociate1bvcaa0.01876.556the value I want to have are:654$45 to negociate1bvcaa876.556because they dont follow the format I wantso im not sure if my explication was clear enough..all in all what I want to complete is the WHERE part of my SQL instruction...what should I put in:SELECT *FROM AdsWHERE ???????thansk for taking the time to read this
I am using the following code to construct an SQL 7.0 View Column
"CASE WHEN [DailyHours] > SUM([TransAmt]) THEN 0 ELSE 1 END"
and it works great!!
However, when I try the same line in SQL 2000, I get the message "The query designer does not support the case SQL construct"
The help screen is no help as all it says is "the syntax you entered is valid but is not supported visually by Query Designer. Be sure the verify your syntax before saving."
It will not let me save, so I'm not sure what to do from here now????
Dear Group, I'm upgrading a "classic" ASP app to ASP.NET 2.0. The database is stored on a SQL Server box in-house. I'm looking to inject a bit of flexibility into the SQLDataSource SelectCommand property. What I mean is this: depending on a selection a user makes in the form, I'd like to present a GridView object that displays data filtered by the user's selection. So I took the original long query string from ASP and broke it in two pieces. The first piece contains the bulk of the query and it ends just after the WHERE clause. The second piece is the ORDER BY clause. I'd like to have the ability to inject an additional term at the end of the WHERE clause (using AND). That would be the filter. For example,SELECT LastName, FirstName, InOut, TimeEntered, PhoneExt FROM TimeClock WHERE TimeEntered > '6/17/2008' AND EmploymentState > '' ORDER BY LastName, FirstName So, in between the "AND State > '' " and the ORDER BY clause I'd like to insert something like this:AND Department = 'Production' I'd like the SelectCommand of the SQLDataSource to look like this:SelectCommand="<%= (sql1 & " AND Department = 'Production' " & sql2) %>" sql1 and sql2 are defined in a <script runat="server"></script> block in the page <head>. The following errors occur even if I have a single variable containing the whole SQL query string (i.e., SelectCommand="<%= sql1 %>"). When I try to run the page I get this error:Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '<'. If I remove the quotation marks from around the SelectCommand statement I get:Parser Error Message: Server tags cannot contain <% ... %> constructs. What's funny about this is that the ConnectionString property of the SQLDataSource looks like this:ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:PersonnelDatabaseConnectionString %>" No complaints from the compiler about the ConnectionString. Any ideas? Am I simply going to be unable to construct a SelectCommand on-the-fly?
I want to search an entire table for a particular keyword but i'm not sure how, if the keyword was TEST then I want to return rows where any of the fields contain TEST, THIS IS A TEST, PLEASE TEST THIS etc etc i.e. the keyword can be anywhere in the fields value
I believe I need to use the LIKE clause but i'm not sure how.
Hi,I have three dropdown lists branch, month & year. Based on these I need to retrieve data in my Datagrid.I have written the following SQL statement & code in my Refreshgrid(): SqlCmd.CommandText = " SELECT * " SqlCmd.CommandText += " FROM HSECData" SqlCmd.CommandText += " where branchno=" &Branchno SqlCmd.CommandText += " And yearno=" &YearNo SqlCmd.CommandText += " And monthno=" &monthNoThis is working fine, initially the datagrid is empty and then displays data when I select say, branch- Melbourne, Year-2005, Month-October and other exisiting combinations.The problem I am stuck at is when the page loads, initially I want all the data to be displayed in datagrid, i.e. for 'All' branches, 'All' years and 'All' months and then when I select combinations of these dropwdown lists as above the data should be filtered and displayed in those selected combinations. but as of now I get and empty datagrid when I select 'All' from these 3 drop down lists or when the page opens the first time.Can someone kindly guide me with the correct SQL cinstruct to achieve both the requirements?Thanks,Aartee.P.S. I am sorry if I have posted this question in a wrong category in the forum, I was unsure whether I should post it in Datagrid category or SQL server category, I thought this was my best bet.My aplogies.
I need to transmit data from a ##table to an .xls file. The data is exported only for the first time. However, after a while the table will be dropped by SQL Server 2005 automatically.
I'm using Execute SQL Task to check for the existence of an ##Table. And, if does not exists the ##table should be created or something like the example below.
Ex: IF NOT EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM ##StateProvince )
SELECT * INTO ##StateProvince FROM Person.StateProvince GO
To keep the session of the ## Table active, but the following error is thrown :
The NOT SQL construct or statement is not supported.
I am working with a form that I wish to construct a dynamic query from the results of. The forum has a date range and two radio buttons. Each radio button enables a list of items that can be clicked. So for example, if we assume the question,
"What is your favorite food, and what toppings do you like on it?" where the radio buttons are foods, the list boxes are toppings. Assuming the user can choose a Hamburger or a Salad with generic toppings, their choices are as such:
They can choose a Hamburger, with every topping They can choose a Hamburger with a single topping. They can choose a Hamburger with multiple toppings. They can choose a Salad with the same combinations as above. They cannot choose both a Hamburger and a Salad - mutually exclusive items.
Then, I wish to construct a query that, based on the conditions above, retrieves information relavent to their criteria, such a the number of food items to choose from, their price, etc. - basic information. What is the most efficient way to do this? Should I write a stored procedure with numerous conditionals and all available parameters, constructing the sproc as such:
BEGIN DECLARE @query varchar(300) SET @query = 'SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT ' + @FoodType + ') '
IF @FoodType = 'Hamburger' SET @query = @query + 'FROM Hamburgers '
ELSE SET @query = @query + 'FROM Salads '
IF @toppings <> 'ALL'
SET @query = @query ' WHERE Toppings = ' + @toppings
EXEC (@query)
Apologies of this syntax is incorrect, but you get the general idea. Of course, this is a small example - in reality, I would have 5-10 conditional requirements Or, should I generate a stored procedure (or simple query) for each operation? For example, assuming each is a stored procedure:
GetHamburgers <-- would get Hamburgers with all toppings GetHamburgersWithToppings GetSalads GetSaladsWithToppings
What is the best method for what I wish to achieve? What is fastest? Is there a better way than I have listed? Thank you.
Again, this is a small example, but I hope someone can help.

I have a little problem with DB, I'm using MS SQL 2005 Express edition.
I have a few tables in my DB, every table contains a list of objects and I need unique ID for every object, I can do it for one table, but not for more then one.
Hi, All I'm using Gridview and SqlDataSource to dynamically display the contents in different tables, as followed: <% dataSource.ConnectionString = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["connectionString"]; dataSource.SelectCommand = "SELECT * FROM " + tableName; gridView.DataBind(); dataSource.UpdateCommand = "";%> <asp:SqlDataSource ID="dataSource" runat="server"></asp:SqlDataSource><asp:GridView ID="gridView" runat="server" DataSourceID="dataSource" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateEditButton="True" BorderColor="Silver" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="1px" CellPadding="3" PageSize="20" DataKeyNames="ID" OnRowDataBound="tableGridView_RowDataBound"> <HeaderStyle BackColor="#C0C0FF" /> <AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="#C0FFC0" /></asp:GridView> The datasource take the "tableName" as argument to determine which table to display. My problem is I can't figure out a way to programmatically construct the UpdataCommand for the SqlDataSource. I try to get the field names from the HeaderRow, but all the cells are empty in this row. Does anyone know what causes the problem or how to construct the UpdateCommand properly. Thanks!
Hi,In the past I build up the query string within VB.NET page and easy to add the filtering statements in the SQL statement since it is just a string. For example, if user selected an option then include it in the filter, otherwise, just return all rows from table:Codes in ASPX.VB: Dim SQL as String="SELECT * From Table1" IF UserOption <> Null then SQL = SQL & " WHERE Column1=" UserOption" End ifNow, since I have a complicated page which need to use Stored Procedure to manapulate a temporary table before the final result. But I found when I want to add some user options similar to above, I found I don't know how to do it in Stored Procedure. In the Stored Procedure Property screen, I can't insert a IF..THEN statement within a SELECT statement. Seems I can only check the user option first and then determine the SELECT statement to use. That is: IF UserOption THEN SELECT statement 1 ELSE SELECT statement 2.But it is impossible for me to do this way since I'm not only one user option on the page. User usually can have several filters/selections on his screen. So if check which user option(s) are selected and write a static SELECT statement for it, I will have to program a complicated store procedure to cater all combinations for all user options (where some options may be null).Hope you can understanding what my mean and give me advices.Regards,Raymond
I am trying to use a Pivot T-SQL statement in the Table Adapter Configuration Wizard in Visual Studio 2005. I get the error message "The Pivot SQL construct or statement is not supported". Then it executes the SQL statement as if there were no error. Unfortunately, it will not create the table adapter because of the error. Below is the T-SQL statement I am using.
SELECT OrderNumber, OrderDate, custlastname, [1001] AS Dept01, [1002] AS Dept02, [1003] AS Dept03, [1004] AS Dept04, [1005] AS Dept05, [1006] AS Dept06, [1007] AS Dept07, [1008] AS Dept08, [1009] AS Dept09, [1010] AS Dept10, [1011] AS Dept11, [1012] AS Dept12 FROM
(SELECT Orders.Ordernumber, Orders.OrderDate, Customer.custlastname, DeptID, OrderDetail.DetailAmount FROM OrderDetails od JOIN Orders ON Orders.OrderNumber = od.OrderNumber JOIN Customer ON Orders.CustomerID = Customer.CustID WHERE (DATEPART([Year], OrderDate) = '2006')) p
PIVOT (SUM(OrderDetailAmount) FOR DeptID IN ([1001], [1002], [1003], [1004], [1005], [1006], [1007], [1008], [1009], [1010], [1011], [1012])) AS pvt ORDER BY OrderNumber
The statement works fine in Management Studio so I know the syntax is correct.
I've set a primary key and unique of a field.also I set it to auto numbering. Everytime I insert a record , that field will increase 1 (type bigint , start from 1).
After lots time of inserting record , the id going to be larger number.. I wondering how can I reset that to zero?
I am working on some tables and would like to know which is best way to go when deciding what Type to use for Unique ID in my tables please. Int Or uniqueIdentifier? Or is it all the same??
My query would have the form: select BetId where GameId in(108,109) from Bets then it has to get me BetId : 500 and 502. Not 501,since this is different combination(108,109,110) ;)
I would like to store some frequently asked questions in a database. As those questions/answers could be translated in several languages, I was thinking of using two tables :
The first table would contain a unique field : the key wich is an id for each faq.
The second table would contain those fields : FAQ_ID : foreign key LANG : language QUESTION : the question translated in the good language. ANSWER : the answer translated in the good language.
What I find embarrassing, is that first table just contains a unique field : the id. But it allows : - to have a table in which a line correspond to an object. It is convenient for object relational mapping. - it is more evolutionary. If, in the future, I have to add some statistics that concerns a faq, I will have the possibility to store them in the first table, avoiding in this way to duplicate data.
But, one more time, I find a bit embarrassing having a table with a unique field...
I am currently trying to import following Excel Datasheet into my SQL 2005 Database with SSIS:
Column: Created For example cells: 18.03.2008 17:47:43
So now I want to get the time, the year, the month and the day seperately out of this column for a later OLAP Analysis.
I created a Data Flow Task, where I imported the Excel source and set the SQL database as target. But now I don't know really how to work with the "Data Conversion" where to extract the dates. In Excel this is just a "customized" cell.
I have a stored procedure that appends data from a temp table to a destination table. The procedure is called from an aspx web page. The destination table has an index on certain fields so as to not allow duplicates. The issue I'm having is if the imported data contains some records that are unique and some that would be duplicate, the procedure stops and no records are appended. How can I have this procedure complete it's run, passing over the duplicates and appending the unique records? Since the data is in a temp table (which gets deleted after each append) should I run some sort of 'find duplicates' query, and delete the duplicates from the temp table first, then append to the destination table? Thanks in advance.SMc
I need to to have a table that has a counter field (used to generate an id code for a record). This is not the primary id for the field but just a counter to label a record in another table, similar to a registration code for an event. This is a sequential counter that will start 1 and go up on each new record inserted into other tables. What I want to do is be able to query this counter table to get the next valid number and increment the count for the next time. This is a multi user web app so needs to prevent duplicate use of same number.How best should this be handled? A transaction to query and update the field?
As Declare @TableUniqueIdentifier varchar(80), @SQLString varchar(5000)
set @TableUniqueIdentifier = newid() set @TableUniqueIdentifier = 'Report_SomeFooReport' + @TableUniqueIdentifier set @TableUniqueIdentifier = replace(@TableUniqueIdentifier, '-', '7') set @SQLString = 'Create Table ' + @TableUniqueIdentifier + ' (xxx varchar(40))' exec @SQLString
Return Go Set Quoted_Identifier Off Go Set Ansi_Nulls On Go
------------------------------------------- the error is: Server: Msg 2812, Level 16, State 62, Line 12 Could not find stored procedure 'Create Table Report_SomeFooReport06EEEC8D7EA6A74D0178EDD79E999B (xxx varchar(40))'.
So may'be a format issue or something, im trying to create "temp" tables for sql 2005 report services in my Stored procedures which would have a sql job to get deleted at 23:00
I am getting problem in unique row in database table, but not getting unique row because I have used Distinct keyword but not getting unique row so how can we do?
I have two table one table information another table Id. But second table in two code same but I am using distinct keyword i get some row unique but second table in two row in same code but when i am fetching row same auto_id render same id create duplicate row. But I am getting only unique row.
Each change to a person's attributes results in a new row formed with the same PersonId as in the row with old attributes and the Date these new attributes are valid (DateFrom). So as shown above the Primary Key is a combination of the PersonId and DateFrom as a change to a person's attributes should never happen at the same time twice.
My problem is when I want to create a new person, how do I get a new unique id? Ideally I want the a new incremented id, so that all peoples' ids are in a sequential order.
