Joined View Does Not Contain All Colums
Jul 20, 2006
The joined view is named "dbo.viewExecView" and is like:
SELECT Bank_No, data_center
FROM [ALPHASQL2000].ev_db.dbo.Bank
The new view that joins to the above view is like:
SELECT bank.BankID, evBank.data_center AS DataCenterID
FROM dbo.Bank AS bank INNER JOIN
dbo.viewExecView_Bank AS evBank ON bank.BankID = evBank.BankID WHERE (bank.InactiveDate IS NULL)
Note: The data_center column (an int) was recently added to the Bank table in the linked ev_db database and it shows up there. It also shows up in the view "dbo.viewExecView". It does not appear in the new view that joins to "dbo.viewExecView". And when I run the 'new' view, I get an Error Message: Invalid column name 'data_center'.
I've tried to simplify this as much as possible while still including the pertinent information. Any help very much appreciated, I am currently stumped.
Regards,
Joe

with cte as (

AND
A2.mimetype='application/news-message-id'
update cte set MimeType = 'application/x-outlook-msg', Subtype=749

I have created the following view:
Create view vwOrderItemTotal2
AS
SELECT ItemName, fkMenuItemID, Sum(Quantity) as [SumOfMenuITems] FROM OrderItems GROUP BY fkMenuItemId, ItemName
When I present my data in a GridView, it works fine. For example, several orders for milk are returned as a summary quantity of 26 gallons in a single row of the GridView like this:
26 Milk
Now I need to filter my data by OrderDate and Zipcode. I created this new view:
Create view vwOrderItemTotal5
AS
SELECT Orders.Zipcode, Orders.OrderDate, OrderItems.ItemName, OrderItems.fkMenuItemID, Sum(Quantity) as [SumOfMenuITems]
FROM Orders INNER JOIN OrderItems
ON Orders.OrderID = OrderItems.fkOrderID
GROUP BY fkMenuItemId, ItemName, Zipcode, OrderDate
When I present my data in a Gridview using the new view I get a GridView with multiple rows for milk where each order has its own row like this:
1 Milk
5 Milk
6 Milk
6 Milk
3 Milk
1 Milk
4 Milk
But I want the data presentation in one row for each ItemName (e.g. Milk) as with my first view. Can I adjust my new view to achieve this, or should I stick with my first view (vwOrderItemTotal2) and adjust the Select Command in my SqlDataSource (hasn’t worked yet).
I think that what I want is for the returned data to be grouped by fkMenuItemId only, but the sql server admin won’t let me create a view without including the other fields in the Group By clause. Thanks for any help provided in solving this.

Cannot see the Colums in the "design view" of Queries. All i see when i want to design a new query is *columns
This happens in only one database, in other databases using same server i can see the colums and can tick them to view then in the query.
In enterprise manager i see all the columns.
Using SQL 2000 and MSAccess 2000

I know this is possible in DB2 and Oracle, but what about for SQL-server 2005
1) select X number of rows from table1
2) I need colums for each row of table1 in a new table
3) As such, Select (select * from X where x.id = @ID), a,b,c from table Y where y.Id = @ID
And I dont want to use IfExists.
Thanks

Hi folks. This is my first post around here.
So I want to query a select on a table. Is there a simpler way to match the where clause with all columns than referencing every single column in the where clause?
Thanks

I’d like to get some data which includes month values bound to a data grid. The data is stored in a table like so:
Measure Month Value
A June 10.00
A July 9.00
A Aug 11.00
B Jun 100.00
B Jul 98.00
B Aug 99.00
C Jun 0.75
C Jul 0.8
C Aug 0.91
I need to report the data like this:
Measure Jun Jul August
A 10 9 11
B 100 98 99
C 75% 80% 91%
This was simple in classic ASP. Just use two recordsets, create a new table cell for each month using the first recordset then use the second recordset for each row.
But is there a way to “Pivot� or rotate the data so I can use the DataGrid? It only seems possible if each month has its own column field in table. Each month add a new column.
I can restructure the database, if needed.
I thought about creating a Cube, but that seems to have its own limitations. For example what if I want to add a Column for Quarter and year totals? I don’t think it’s possible to show multiple planes like that in an query of a cube.
It seems that this might be resolved in the presentation layer or the data layer. Any Suggestions?

Hello All, first time post here and really stuck on this issue.
I have 4 Tables that i am Joining Across. Each one of the tables has around 800,000 Rows in it. I am Joining them all on a field Called MDRReport Key.
my query looks like this
SELECT Mdrfoit.MDRReportKey, Mdrfoit.DtReport, Mdrfoit.DateReceived, Mdrfoit.EventType, Mdrfoit.AdverseEvent, Mdrfoit.ProductProb, Mdrfoit.ReportOccup,DevTable.BrandName, DevTable.ManName, DevTable.ModelNumber, DevTable.ProductCode, DevTable.DeviceFamily, TextTable.Text
FROM Mdrfoit
INNER JOIN DevTable ON Mdrfoit.MDRReportKey = DevTable.MDRReportKey
INNER JOIN TextTable ON Mdrfoit.MDRReportKey = TextTable.MDRReportKey LEFT OUTER JOIN probLink ON Mdrfoit.MDRReportKey probLink.MDRReportKey
WHERE Mdrfoit.DateReceived BETWEEN '1/1/1995' AND '1/1/2007') AND
AND (DevTable.BrandName LIKE '&PLV%')
My problom is that when i do this i get back 3 rows in my result set for every 1 result that i want So ill get like
2615681/24/200000:00.0MNY114PLV-100RESPIRONICS, INC.35001CBK
2615681/24/200000:00.0MNY114PLV-100RESPIRONICS, INC.35001CBK
2615681/24/200000:00.0MNY114PLV-100RESPIRONICS, INC.35001CBK
So my result set is on average 3 time larger then its suppose to be, This is also causing my query time to be very very slow.
There are no Duplicate entries in the database where all of the fields are the same. I am confused on if this is a problom in my query. Any advice would be great

Hello,
I have this problem that I do not now how to solve it:
I have a report (matrix) where in the lines I have an order status, while in the columns I have the number of orders, the number of lines and the average time of delivery (calculated measure on as 2005 cube).
If put the subtotals the system will add the number of orders, the number of lines but instead of doing the average time of delivery, it will sum all the average of each order status.
Nr. Of Orders Nr. of Lines Average Delivery Time
Open Order 10 20 3.2
Closed Order 15 30 5
Total 25 50 8.2 (it should be, for example, 4.5)
Is there a way in which I can tell the system to not calculate the total for the third column?
If I use excel there is no problem because it will use the server formatting of AS2005 while Reporting Services is not doing it.
Thanks to all!

Hello everyone,
I'm stuck on something here. Any help would be great. This is a relational database question.
I'm trying to inner join two columns of one table with one column of another. The follwoing code doesn't work, but I think you can see what I'm trying to do.
Procedure _Links_List
AS
CREATE TABLE #TempTable
(
LinkId int,
LinkCategory varchar(50),
LinkStatus varchar(50),
LinkName varchar(50)
)
INSERT INTO #TempTable
(
LinkId,
LinkCategory,
LinkStatus,
LinkName
)
SELECT
LinkId,
_SubCategories.SubCategoryName,
_SubCategories.SubCategoryName,
LinkName
FROM
_Links
INNER JOIN
_SubCategories ON _Links.CategoryId = _SubCategories.SubCategoryId
INNER JOIN
_SubCategories ON _Links.StatusId = _SubCategories.SubCategoryId
SELECT
LinkId,
LinkCategory,
LinkStatus,
LinkName
FROM
#TempTable
Also, I know how to do this if I had seperate category tables for each category (LinkCategory, LinkStatus). For examlple:
Procedure _Links_List
AS
CREATE TABLE #TempTable
(
LinkId int,
LinkCategory varchar(50),
LinkStatus varchar(50),
LinkName varchar(50)
)
INSERT INTO #TempTable
(
LinkId,
LinkCategory,
LinkStatus,
LinkName
)
SELECT
LinkId,
_Links_Categories.CategoryName,
_Links_StatusCategories.StatusName,
LinkName
FROM
_Links
INNER JOIN
_Links_Categories ON _Links.CategoryId = _Links_Categories.CategoryId
INNER JOIN
_Links_StatusCategories ON _Links.StatusId = _Links_StatusCategories.StatustId
SELECT
LinkId,
LinkCategory,
LinkStatus,
LinkName
FROM
#TempTable
I know the above works but I'm trying to figure out how to have just one category table and one subcategory table for all of my categories of all my tables.
Table_Categories: CategoryId (Primary Key), CategoryName
Table_SubCategories: CategoryId, SubCategoryId (Primary Key), SubCategoryName
So instead of having to create a new table for every category and all the procedures for them for all my tables, I want to be able to just use these two tables.
If anyone knows how I go about this, especially when a table uses two category columns, I Thank you.

Hello, and thanks for taking the time to read this.
NOOB question:
In dealing with, say, shirts -- I have a DB that serves as a template for several customers. Each customer may have different ranges of sizes (one may have S,M,L and the other might also have XL,XXL). So the CATALOG table is:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[T_Catalog](
[StlyeID] [int]
) ON [PRIMARY]
with data:
1
2
the SIZES table (filled in by the customer with all the size ranges they carry) is:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[T_Sizes](
[SizeID] [int],
[SizeName] [nchar](10)
) ON [PRIMARY]
with data:
1,Small
2,Medium
3,Large
4,Xtra-Large
and the AVAILSIZES table would be:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[T_AvailSizes](
[StyleID] [int],
[SizeID] [int]
) ON [PRIMARY]
1,1
1,2
1,3
2,1
2,3
2,4
Basically, then, we know that:
style 1 comes in Small, Medium, and Large
style 2 xomes in Small, Large, and Xtra large
WE know that, but getting SQL to tell us that is a major PIA!!
Now,
SELECT
t_Catalog.StyleId, t_AvailSizes.SizeID
FROM
t_Catalog
INNER JOIN t_AvailSizes ON
t_Catalog.StyleId = t_AvailSizes.StyleId
will give me a nice list of each item number with a separate row for each size number.
My questions are:
How do I get the size NAMES?
How would I get all of the sizes into a single row, so that there is a single row for each catalog StyleID (that's all I ever wanted to begin with)?
Is this the right way of doing this?
In reality I have about six columns that can contain multiple and variable items like this, and when trying to even think about resolving it all into a single record my brain tries desparately to crawl out my left ear.
Thanks for any help and information you can provide.

Hi
I'm trying to add columns to an existing table using ADOX. I'm using C++/CLI. My code is as follow
Table->default->Append("new_column", ADOX:: DataTypeEnum::adWChar, 255);
Table->default["prev_instance_id"]->Properties["Jet OLEDB:Compressed UNICODE Strings"]->default = true;
The first line of code works fine but when I try to set the value of the property I get the following excpetion:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in MyDll.dll
Additional information: Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.
Any idea?

Help.
I have a table with a composite key (two primary keys) that is a foreign key to another table. I need to select all records in the primary key table where there are no matches in the foreign key table... I have no idea how to do this..
Here is how to join the tables:
Select A.Key1, A.Key2 From PrimaryKeyTable A, ForiegnKeyTable B Where A.Key1 = B.Key1 and A.Key2 = B.Key2
I need to query all records that do not join, so basically the inverse of this query. How do I do this? Please let me know if this is in the wrong forum or you need any clarifcation.
Just FYI, on a single Primary key column I would just simply do the following:
Select A.Key From PrimaryTable A, ForiegnTable B Where A.Key not in ( Select A.Key From PrimaryTable A, ForignTable B Where A.Key = B.Key)
but how to with a composite key?

Hi all -
Heres the deal,
I have six tables that are loosly related,
four in one join, two in the other....
in the first join there is a column called commentID -
and is based on a join of the four tables, the results of the
query is based on a where clause
and this needs to be tied into the second set of joined
tables (they are joined on a commentID themselves)
I have both the queries and joins working -
The primary query (4 joined tables) needs to do a lookup on the second (2 joined tables) and add its selected value, into the final result set....
thanks a million for the help!!
take care

I have a table with almost a million rows, although it's quite slim with just ID, date, userID, JobID etc.
Now I want to the ability to add comments to some (probably less than 1%) of those lines.
The question is whether to create a separate comments table to join to it, or to create a comments field within the existing table? The comments field would obviously default to NULL, so wouldn't bloat the table unnecessarily if I add that field (right?), and would always be selected with the row from that table, so I'm leaning towards the latter alternative.
Any thoughts, words of warning?
Thanks

I posted Wednesday thinking a SELECT Distinct would solve my problem but it didn't. I have a stored procedure that is used to grab data from 4 tables that I need to join.
The 1st table (Application) holds a job applicant's name and some other data
The 2nd table (Jobs) holds the Job name and test type
The 3rd table (Locations) holds the locations
Then there is a foreign key many to many table (Application_Locations) that holds the applicants UserID and a LocationID. This table may have multiple rows for the same applicant with different locations in each row.
When the procedure is ran I want all the data that I am requesting from the Application table, and all the data that I am requesting from the Jobs table but only the 1st returned result of the Join on the Locations and Application_Locations table. What do I need to do to correct this so that I only display 1 row for each UserID no matter how many locations thay may have applied to. (You will notice that there are some IF statements so only the 2nd and 4th queries in the sproc are the ones that apply )

Hi all,Currently our product has a setup that stores information abouttransactions in a transaction table. Additionally, certain transactionspertain to specific people, and extra information is stored in anothertable. So for good or ill, things look like this right now:create table TransactionHistory (TrnID int identity (1,1),TrnDT datetime,--other information about a basic transaction goes here.--All transactions have this infoPrimary Key Clustered (TrnID))Create Index TrnDTIndex on TransactionHistory(TrnDT)create table PersonTransactionHistory (TrnID int,PersonID int,--extended data pertaining only to "person" transactions goes--here. only Person transactions have thisPrimary Key Clustered(TrnID),Foreign Key (TrnID) references TransactionHistory (TrnID))Create Index TrnPersonIDIndex on PersonTransactionHistory(Person)A query about a group of people over a certain date range might fetchinformation like so:select * from TransactionHistory THinner join PersonTransactionHistory PTHon TH.TrnID = PTH.TrnIDwhere PTH.PersonID in some criteriaand TH.TrnDT between some date and some dateIn my experience, this poses a real problem when trying to run queriesthat uses both date and personID criteria. If my guesses are correct thisis because SQL is forced to do one of two things:1 - Use TrnPersonIDIndex to find all transactions which match the personcriteria, then for each do a lookup in the PersonTransactionHistory tofetch the TrnID and subsequently do a lookup of the TrnID in the clusteredindex of the TransactionHistory Table, and finally determine if a giventransaction also matches the date time criteria.2 - Use TrnDTIndex to final all transaction matching the date criteria,and then perform lookups similar to the above, except for personID insteadof datetime.Compounding this is my suspicion (based on performance comparison of whenI specify which indexes to use in the query vs when I let SQL Serverdecide itself) that SQL sometimes chooses a very non optimal course. (Ofcourse, sometimes it chooses a better course than me - the point is I wantit to always be able to pick a good enough course such that I don't haveto bother specifying). Perhaps the table layout is making it difficult forSQL Server to find a good query plan in all cases.Basically I'm trying to determine ways to improve our table design here tomake reporting easier, as this gets painful when running report forlarge groups of people during large date ranges. I see a few options basedon my above hypothesis, and am looking for comments and/or corrections.1 - Add the TrnDT column to the PersonTransactionHistory Table aswell. Then create a foreign key relationship of PersonTransactionHistory(TrnID, TrnDT) references TransactionHistory (TrnID, TrnDT) and createindexes on PersonTransactionHistory with (TrnDT, PersonID) and(PersonID, TrnDT). This seems like it would let SQL Server makemuch more efficient execution plans. However, I am unsure if SQL servercan leverage the FK on TrnDT to use those new indexes if I give it a querylike:select * from TransactionHistory THinner join PersonTransactionHistory PTHon TH.TrnID = PTH.TrnIDwhere PTH.PersonID in some criteriaand TH.TrnDT between some date and some dateThe trick being that SQL server would know that it can use PTH.TrnDT andTH.TrnDT interchangably because of the foreign key (this would support allthe preexisting existing queries that explicitly named TH.TrnDT - any thatdidn't explicitly specify the table would now have ambigious columnnames...)2 - Just coalesce the two tables into one. The original intent was to savespace by not requiring extra columns about Persons for all rows, many ofwhich did not have anything to do with a particular person (for instance acontact point going active). In my experience with our product, the enduser's decisions about archiving and purging have a much bigger impactthan this, so in my opinion efficient querying is more important thanspace. However I'm not sure if this is an elegant solution either. It alsomight require more changes to existing code, although the use of viewsmight help.We also run reports based on other criteria (columns I replaced withcomments above) but none of them are as problematic as the situationabove. However, it seems that if I can understand the best way to solvethis, I will be able to leverage that approach if other types of reportsbecome problematic.Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. Also any references to goodsources regarding table and index design would be helpful as well (onlineor offline references...)thanks,Dave

Two days of downtime does not make a happy DBA.
In our frustration we dropped database "Search" completely as restoring it from backup was giving us other authorization errors. Fortunately we could rebuild the searches on the fly.
So now our service broker activation procedure tells us:
04/03/2008 17:49:51,spid55s,Unknown,The activated proc [dbo].[MessageProcessor_NameChange] running on queue AMG_Search.dbo.NameChangeQueue output the following: 'The database owner SID recorded in the master database differs from the database owner SID recorded in database 'Search'. You should correct this situation by resetting the owner of database 'Search' using the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement.'
My username created the database. I am dbo. So what exactly am I supposed to change the owner to?
I try this:
ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE::[Search] TO MySelf
Where MySelf is my username. And I am told Msg 15110, Level 16, State 1, "The proposed new database owner is already a user or aliased in the database" So what the heck we'll make SA the owner.
And that works.
I DON'T GET THIS PEOPLE. I created the database I am not allowed to own it anymore? We formatted the server. We reinstalled SQL server from scratch. We recreated all the usernames. Was our mistake restoring the old data from backup? Was I supposed to re-run the DDL and key all the data back in again? Is that the reccomended restore procedure? The users will be thrilled to hear this :-)
My days as an Oracle DBA were nothing like this. Security was just not this troublesome...
So if someone older, wiser, and with more experience would explain the above error message and how it occurs I would appreciate it, because something tells me I'm going to be stuck in this place again...

I am using SQL Server 2005 to publish joined tables for SQL Mobile subscribers for merge replication and column level tracking.
Using Management Studio I am trying to join tables and specify row filters on the joined tables. I.E. table 1 is joined with table 2. I need to define row filters for table 1 and row filters specific to table 2.
An example would be: Table 1 is a customer table that I filter on a specific customer. Table 2 might be an orders table that I need to join to get the customers orders but I also want to filter for open orders only.
When I specify the row filter for table 2 the join appears to be ignored and I receive the complete table 2 with the row filter applied.
I have searched the online books and the web and I have not run accross an example of using both joins and row filters where the filters are specified for both joined tables.
Is this possible via the Management Studio?
Thanks,
Ron

Ok here goes. I have 3 tables, one holds case info, the 2nd holds possible outcome on the charges, and they're joined on a 3rd table (CaseOutComes). With me so far? Easy stuff, now for the hard part.
Since there's a very common possiblitly that the Case has multiple charges, we need to track those, and therefore, display them on a datagrid or some other control. I want the user to be able to edit the info and have X number of dropdowns pertaining to how many ever charges are on the case. I can get the query to return the rows no sweat, but ...merging them into 1 record (1 row) with mutiple drops is seeming impossible -- I thought about using a placeholder and added the controls that way, but it was not in agreement with what I was trying to tell it .
Any ideas on how to attack this?

Hello all,
Iv been making a lot of progress on my first functional webapp, but I cannot get this bit of code to work correctly. I think my UPDATE SQL statement is where the problem is. It works fine the first time through when there is no Session("estimateid") set, but after that is set it gives me error this on line 40:
Incorrect syntax near '('.
1 Dim CustID As Integer
2
3 Dim DbConnection As SqlConnection

8 If Session("estimateid") = 0 Then
9 Dim DbSqlInsert As String
10 DbSqlInsert = "INSERT INTO tblcustomers (strname, strAddress1, strAddress2, strCity, strState, strZip, strPhone, strEmail, strContact) VALUES (@name, @address1, @address2, @city, @state, @zip, @phone, @email, @contact)" & "SELECT @@IDENTITY AS CustID"
11 DbCommand = New SqlCommand(DbSqlInsert, DbConnection)
12 Else
13 Dim DbSqlUpdate As String
14 DbSqlUpdate = "UPDATE tblcustomers SET (strcustname=@name, straddress1=@address1, straddress2=@address2, strcity=@city, strstate=@state, strzip=@zip, strphone=@phone, stremail=@email, strcontact=@contact) JOIN tblestimates ON pkcustomerid WHERE pkestimateid=@estimateid"
