Keep Records That Contain Certain Attributes

Aug 27, 2007

Have a report that I want to keep certain attributes and as long as the report contains this certain attribute, bring all other attributes with it. Better with an example. In this report I am specifically looking for attribute "Alcohol", if I find this attribute I want to include all others that fit with this record's Primary Key which could include, "Drugs","Arson","Vandalism", etc. Problem is when I try to use a paramater or filter I get the "Alcohol" Attribute but not the "Drugs","Arson","Vandalism", etc. Conversely since I dont have any filter/paramater set I get everything even if it does not include "Alcohol"


suggestions??

thansk in advance

Master Data Services :: Change Order Of Attributes Using Arrows Jumps Over 24 Attributes

Jun 30, 2015

I am working in SQL Server Master Data Services  Version 11.0.5058.0 (SP 2).

I have been asked to group all the financial attributes together.  When I move one of the attributes up using the arrows, it works good jumping over one attribute at a time.  Then I reach a section of attributes where it leap frogs over 24 attributes.

It appears these 24 attributes are in a subgroup but there are no attribute groups and I removed the subscription view from the entity.  If I move one of the 24 attributes in the group, it moves it outside of the 24 attributes.

This is under leaf member attributes.  There are no collection or consolidated groups.

Analysis :: Dimensions Attributes - Drag All Or Some Specific Attributes

May 24, 2015

I'm using a DW from Northwind database to build a cube to do some analitical taks. I already create the cube and now I am "cleaning" the dimensions. I'm having some difficults to understand the logical off this part. The reason is that When I create the Data Source View, I only import the Foreign Keys that connect the Dimensions to Fact_Table. I have to drag the attributes of Dimension from Data Source View to the tab attributes? 

Imagine this:

I have the following dimension:

Dim_Customer:
Customer_ID
Name_Customer
Job_Function
Date_of_Birth
Contact
Address
City
Country

When I create the cube only Customer_ID appears in attributes tab, it's normal? 

One more question:

I don't want to create a hierarchy like:

Customer ID -> Name_Customer
Customer ID -> Date_of_Birth
Customer ID -> Address
Customer ID -> City
Customer ID -> Country

My idea is to create the following hierarchy: 

Name_Customer -> Date_of_Birth ->  Address ->  City -> Country

But the first hierarchy that I show is always appears to me. Do you know what is happens?

Car's Attributes Should Be &>= Spec's Attributes (was Help With Query)

Nov 11, 2004

Hello all-

I have a specification table that has some attributes defined.
SpecId - Id of the specification
Attribute - Attribute of the spec. (Like Color, HP etc)
Value - Is the value of the attribute
Then I have a car table that actually has information about the cars. Intention is to take each specification and match the cars that match the specification. If the car has more attributes than the spec, we ignore the extra attributes for the match. But if the car has less attributes, we don't even consider the car as a match (even if the attributes present, match). To summarize, the car's attributes should be >= spec's attributes.

The code I have below is bad because I am joining the same tables twice. In addition, it fails in the condition "the car's attributes should be >= spec's attributes"

Any help is greatly appreciated.




DECLARE @Specification TABLE
(SpecId VARCHAR(10),
AttributeVARCHAR(100),
ValueVARCHAR(100))

DECLARE @Car TABLE
(CarName VARCHAR(10),
AttributeVARCHAR(100),
ValueVARCHAR(100))

INSERT INTO @Specification VALUES ('S1', 'Type', 'Sedan')
INSERT INTO @Specification VALUES ('S1', 'Transmission', 'Auto')
INSERT INTO @Specification VALUES ('S1', 'HP', '220')

INSERT INTO @Specification VALUES ('S2', 'Type', 'SUV')
INSERT INTO @Specification VALUES ('S2', 'Transmission', 'Manual')
INSERT INTO @Specification VALUES ('S2', 'HP', '300')

INSERT INTO @Car VALUES ('Accord', 'Type', 'Sedan')
INSERT INTO @Car VALUES ('Accord', 'Transmission', 'Auto')
INSERT INTO @Car VALUES ('Accord', 'HP', '220')
INSERT INTO @Car VALUES ('Accord', 'Color', 'Black')

INSERT INTO @Car VALUES ('Escape', 'Type', 'SUV')
INSERT INTO @Car VALUES ('Escape', 'Transmission', 'Manual')
INSERT INTO @Car VALUES ('Escape', 'HP', '300')

INSERT INTO @Car VALUES ('Explorer', 'Type', 'SUV')
INSERT INTO @Car VALUES ('Explorer', 'Transmission', 'Manual')

SELECT DISTINCT Spec.SpecId, Car.CarName
FROM @Specification Spec
INNER JOIN @Car Car
ON Spec.Attribute = Car.Attribute
AND Spec.Value = Car.Value
WHERE Spec.SpecId NOT IN (SELECT Spec.SpecId
FROM @Specification Spec
LEFT OUTER JOIN @Car Car
ON Spec.Attribute = Car.Attribute
AND Spec.Value = Car.Value
WHERE Car.CarName IS NULL)

Using Keywords As Attributes

Aug 24, 2004

I am using db keyowrds as attributes in my table such as from, to and date. These are enclosed in [] in SQL Server Enterprise Manager. I'm just asking if doing this is a bad idea? Reason being these are the most applicable names for these attributes but don't want to run into problems further down the line.

Unlimited Attributes On A Table

Nov 23, 2006

Bit of a design question as I'm interested to know if anyone's done anythign like this...This is my main table (ish) Thing(ThingId, Ref)I then need to be able to give this "Thing" any number of attributes.   Thing1 - Type:Red, Location:LondonThing2 - Type:Blue, Height:400, Width: 300Thing3 - Height:500, Location:Norwich But I have no idea how to model this in the database - it needs to be in such a way that I can add a Thing and all its attributes in one database hit basically (is there a stored procedure you could pass an array into?) My initial thoughts were to have   Thing(ThingId, Ref) Attribute(AttributeId, ThingId*, AttributeTypeId*, Value) AttributeType(AttributeTypeId, Description) Is that completely mad?  It seems like quite a lot of data accesses to enter a ThingIt could be Thing(ThingId, Ref, Type, Location, Height, Width) but then when "Thing - Color:White" comes along the model is stuffed Any ideas? (hope that makes sense)

What Is The Command To See The Attributes Of A Table.

Apr 7, 2008

In query analyzer, what is the command to tell me the attributes of the entities in a table? In oracle I can use the describe command. I know their is a way to do it in Query analyzer but I can't remember how. Also I can look visually by expanding the node of the table. But if I can do this through the command line in query analayzer, it is sometimes quicker.
 
Example. I want to find out about a table named "Employee"
What command would I type that would tell me all of the columns/attributes in that table, and the data types which they are?

Filtering Based On BIT Attributes

May 24, 2006

I have a few tables that have an disabled attribute using a BIT datatype. A lot of my queries on the front end look like:

SELECT *
FROM TableA
WHERE disabled <> 1

There's usually some other constraints on the query (get TOP 10 and greater than a certain date for example). Right now my tables are very small (only a couple thousand rows). I don't anticipate these tables having more than 100,000 rows.

Right now let's say there's only a CLUSTERED INDEX on the date field, and regular INDEXES on the identity field and perhaps some other UNIQUE name in the table.

Unless I am doing ranged queries on the CLUSTERED INDEXED field, I'm going to be performing table scans almost every time, right?

This sort of goes along with another question:

Say you run the following (SQL Server):



CREATE TABLE TestA (
[id] INT IDENTITY (1, 1) PRIMARY KEY,
disabled BIT DEFAULT 0
)
GO
INSERT INTO TestA (disabled) VALUES ('0')
GO
INSERT INTO TestA (disabled) VALUES ('0')
GO
INSERT INTO TestA (disabled) VALUES ('1')
GO
INSERT INTO TestA (disabled) VALUES ('0')
GO
INSERT INTO TestA (disabled) VALUES ('0')
GO
INSERT INTO TestA (disabled) VALUES ('0')
GO
INSERT INTO TestA (disabled) VALUES ('0')
GO
INSERT INTO TestA (disabled) VALUES ('1')
GO
INSERT INTO TestA (disabled) VALUES ('0')
GO
INSERT INTO TestA (disabled) VALUES ('0')
GO
INSERT INTO TestA (disabled) VALUES ('1')
GO
INSERT INTO TestA (disabled) VALUES ('1')
GO
INSERT INTO TestA (disabled) VALUES ('0')


Since [id] is a PK there will be a CLUSTERED INDEX placed on it. My question is; what does the optimizer do when you perform the following query?


SELECT TOP 3 *
FROM TestA
WHERE disabled <> '1'


My assumption is that since there's a CLUSTERED INDEX it will simply iterate through every tuple and check to see if disabled is not '1'. If my assumption is correct then these kind of boolean fields aren't a big deal if TOP queries are performed on a CLUSTERED INDEX.

So I guess what I am getting at is: Are bit attributes a sign of bad design? As tables get larger will performance degrade significantly? Would a better design be to have a seperate table of disabled items (which may result in large NOT IN subqueries)?

Any information on his would be greatly appreciated.

History Of Changing Attributes

May 14, 2008

I have a question about storing the history of particular objects in a database. For example, if I had a table of "People" which had fields "PersonId", "Name", "PhoneNumber", "Height", "Weight", "Proffession" the data in every field stored for each person can change over time, except for the "PersonId", of course, which is why it is included.

I would like to be able to view a persons attributes at any point in time and therefore need to maintain a history. The currenct approach in place is to archive images of the whole table at certain points in time, which is unacceptable as it misses some changes, is not very accessible and also stores data which does not change.

My solution would be to created seperate tables for each changing attribute and have corresponding date for each change. For example, for phone numbers have a table "PeoplePhoneNumbers" with fields "PersonId","PhoneNumber" and "ChangeDate". A few shortcomings I can see in this approach is that firstly there will be many tables, one for each changing attribute, which can be in far greater number than those mentioned. Secondly, joins will have to created between every attribute table to get the orignal single table form, although I don't see this as a very important issue.

I am wondering; is there a more elegent way to structure for objects of this changing nature, or is having seperate tables for each changing attribute the best solution? I'm sure this is a very common issue. Thanks very much for the help,

Mike

Attributes Other Than Types In Columns

Apr 7, 2014

What are attributes in columns that are not types?

View 1 Replies View Related

Variable Primary Key Attributes

Mar 3, 2008

We have an entity such as a documentSearchKey that contains attribtes about a particular document. This document can have 1-N number of search keys or attributes. The classic Employee Table is a good example for a horizontal listing of attributes (fname, lname, SS#, address, etc.) because the employee entity has a "fixed" number of attributes so we can add columns across.

For the documentSearchKey entity attributes can be considered search keys or where clause values.
The documentSearchKey entity has variable number of attributes (docType A has 5 keys, docType B has 15 keys, etc) For this example each docType lives inside its on table so there is not a problem with mixing a variable number attributes inside the same table i.e. we will assume this table has 20 keys vertical or 20 columns horizontal as defined below.

The problem is whether or not to add 20 columns across or to add 3 columns and create a non-normalized DB so additional keys can be added at will.

The proposed table now contains 3 columns (docID, KeyID, KeyValue). Of course, 10 keys for 1 million records create 10 million rows Versus the traditional table with 1 million records always has 1 million records(keys are cols) where some columns contain blanks or nulls.

Which design is better in terms of searching and performance?
Also, books and links are welcome as well. This is a specific question to a production issue.

Thank You Very Much !

DB Design / Custom Attributes

Aug 24, 2005

I apologize ahead of time for the long post...Background:Working on a CRM type custom application. The application is for anevent management company. The company will provide the application forother organizations to manage their own events. The events includeconferences, corp meetings, sales meetings, etc...An event planner will define what information is needed for an attendeeto register for an event. We will be providing a standard list ofattributes for the event planner to select from. This list includespersonal information (name, address, phone numbers), air travelinformation (preferred carriers, departure airports, etc...), hotelinformation, etc...we've included all of the information available tous from the business's previous experience. As far as the databasegoes, all of the standard information given to use will be normalized.The problem is each event may have unique information that needs to becollected that is not part of the standard list of attributes. Forexample, if McBurgers is planning an event, the event planner may wantto collect an attendee's McBurger employee code.Depending on the uniqueness of the event, there may be up to 200 uniqueattributes defined for it. This number comes from researching eventsplanned in the last 5 years. The number of attendees for an event rangefrom 100 to 10,000. The company expects about 3000 events per year.Database DesignI've done a fair amount of research and found a couple of options tomeet our requirements, more specifically the need for event planners todefine custom attributes for an event.1-)DynamicColumns:Add an Event specific custom attributes table. The table would looksomething like this:Event_McBurger05AttendeeID | McBurgerEmployeeCode | HiredDate | SomeOtherAttribute-Join Bytes! | AxEt356 | 01/01/2004 | Other val 22-)EAV:Add an EAV (entity, attribute, value) table. The table would looksomething like this:Event_AttributesEventCode | AttendeeID | Attribute | Value-McBurger05 | Join Bytes! | McBurgerEmployeeCode | AxEt356McBurger05 | Join Bytes! | HiredDate | 01/01/2004McBurger05 | Join Bytes! | SomeOtherAttribute | Other val 2The Value attribute would be a character (probably varchar) datatype.3-)Stronger Typed EAVHave an EAV table for each data type. The tables would look somethinglike this:Event_CharAttributesEventCode | AttendeeID | Attribute | CharValue-McBurger05 | Join Bytes! | McBurgerEmployeeCode | AxEt356McBurger05 | Join Bytes! | SomeOtherAttribute | Other val 2Event_DateAttributesEventCode | AttendeeID | Attribute | CharValue-McBurger05 | Join Bytes! | HiredDate | 01/01/2004There would be one Event_[DataType]Attribute table for each of thedatatypes allowed.Pros/Cons1-)DynamicColumnsPros:-Data integrity can be enforced-Simpler queries for reporting-Clearer data model for understanding data storedCons:-Row size limitation of 8k must be managed (probably need to addanother table if run out of room.-Stored procedures for CRUD operations would need to dynamicallycreated ORNeed to use dynamic SQL on the database or application.-Adding/Removing columns on the fly can be very error prone2-)EAVPros-Static CRUD stored procsCons-No data integrity-Complex queries for reporting-Worse performance than option 1.-Table can get BIG...fast.3-)Stronger Typed EAVPros-Static CRUD stored procs-Better data type integrity than EAVCons-Complex queries for reporting-Worse performance than option 1-Table can get BIG...fast.If you are still reading this...thank you!The Questions:-Are there other options other than the 3 described above? Or are thesepretty much it with slight variants.-Does anyone see any missing Pros/Cons for any of the options thatshould be considered?-Is there a "preferred" method for what I am trying to do?I suspect this will come down to the lesser of three devils. Justtrying to figure out which of the three it is.We have prototyped the three options and are leaning towards option 1and 3.Any comments/suggestions are appreciated.Thx

What Are The Relationships Among The Attributes Within Each Cluster?

Dec 6, 2006

Hi, all here,

Thank you very much for your kind attention.

I am having a question about Microsoft Clustering algorithm here. When we train the clustering model, we gain the clusters based on the model training. So what are the relationship among all attributes within each cluster? When we sumarize the characteristics for each cluster, for example, based on criteria attribute A=X, we got the darker cluster for this criteria, along with this characteristics (A=X), we also got other characteristics, so what is the exact relationship among all these chracteristics? It seemed they dont have any relationship to each other at all? (A=X dose not mean most likely B=Y if A=X?, what it means only is within this cluster, most likely A=X and B=Y etc. and A=X has the largest population within this cluster). I therefore cant see these chracteristics really interested.

Looking forward to any guidance and advices for that.

With best regards,

Yours sincerely,

Aggregated Members And Attributes

May 29, 2008

Hi,

the query below (from Adventure Works) displays the sales amount for three products and a custom member "aggregation" which is the aggregate of these three products, and it cross joins with the attribute "colour".




Code Snippet

with member [Product].[Product Categories].[Subcategory].&[31].[aggregation] as 'AGGREGATE({ [Product].[Product Categories].[Product].&[214], [Product].[Product Categories].[Product].&[215], [Product].[Product Categories].[Product].&[220] })'



SELECT { [Date].[Calendar].[All Periods] } ON COLUMNS ,



NON EMPTY { { { [Product].[Product Categories].[Product].&[214], [Product].[Product Categories].[Product].&[215], [Product].[Product Categories].[Product].&[220],[Product].[Product Categories].[Subcategory].&[31].[aggregation] } * { [Product].[Color].[All Products].CHILDREN } } } ON ROWS



FROM [Adventure Works]



WHERE ( [Measures].[Reseller Sales Amount] )


Can someone please explain me why I'm getting this result:








All Periods

Sport-100 Helmet, Red
Red
39328.1586

Sport-100 Helmet, Black

instead of something like this:

and also if anyone knows of a possible way of getting the second type of result?

please note that if I create a custom member that aggregates members of any other level of the Product Category hierarchy, the problem doesn't exist (see code and results below)

How To Get Dynamic Attributes In Dataset

Derived Attributes -how Much Should I Help The Algorithm

Feb 28, 2008

Hi,
I am a novice data miner, working primarly in the BI field. I want to learn more about Data Mining so I am doing some experimenting.

I have a question regarding input attributes. I am particurlary wondering about the Neural Network algorithm, but also for Data Mining in general. What I am thinking about is if, and if so to what extend, I should create derived attributes for the algoritms. I´ll try to clarify with an example:

Lets say I am analysing sales performance for departments in a large company. Some of those departments has a high staff turnover, which might affect sales negatively (although I don't know that...). The high staff turnover could be detected, by the algorithm and humans, by looking at each sales, and which salesperson that handled it. If there are a lot more different salespersons in different departments by the same size and during the same time period, this is a sign of a high staff turnover.

Now is this info enough for the algorithm? Or should I add a column in the case dataset, where I discretesize the staff turnover as "High,Medium,Low"? Does this help the algorithm or can it affect the performance?

I hope you'll get the idea of my question, otherwise ask me!

Cheers,
AL

SQL 2012 :: Query To Make Single Records From Multiple Records Based On Different Fields Of Different Records?

How Can I Create View That Consolidates Attributes

Jun 6, 2008

This is kind of tricky. I have a table that is structured like this (where the StaffID is the primary key):

StaffID, Date1, Amount1, Date2, Amount2, Date3, Amount3
123, 1/1/08, 100, 2/1/08, 200, 3/1/08, 300

You can already see that whoever made this table wasn't thinking prudently. Anyway, I would like to make the table look like this:

StaffID, Date, Amount
123, 1/1/08, 100
123 2/1/08, 200
123 3/1/08, 300

Where the StaffID and Date are concatenated keys.

Is there a way to either create a View or create a Query Table that converts the data like that for me? I need the new view/query to update when the original table updates, so a new table isn't an option.

Thanks ahead of time!

Fact Fields -&> Dimension Attributes

Feb 13, 2008

I have a fact table that has terminations. Fields include EmployeeName, TermDate, TermReason, and HireDate, et al.

I need to make EmployeeName available to drillthrough, and since it's a varchar field I can't make it a measure, so it has to be a dimension attribute. My question is, should I leave the fact table as it is and use SSAS to create a dimension that contains only EmployeeName and the link to TerminationID? Or should I redesign the OLAP tables so that EmployeeName is in a separate table?

SCHEMA -- 1000 Products With Different Attributes

Jul 20, 2005

[crossposted]Hi, I wonder if anyone might lend me a brain.I have a stock database to build that covers over 1000 products, whichmight be said to exist in around 50 product families.Obviously, just to be awkward all the types of stock will havedifferent attributes. So one product might be a tube withinside/outside diameter and length and another a T shaped cable joint.All I can come up with is a separate table for each stock type familyand store the table name and product code in the main stock table, so:Tables:ProdAProdBProdCStockStock attributes:ProdIdProdTableAmountDateetc..ProdA attribute:ProdIdAttributeXAttributeYAttributeZetc..Then use code to parse the table and product ID to select the correctquery to get the product details. BUT This seems awefuly inelegant andpotentially wrong so I'm loathe to continue down this route.Can anyone tell me the "right" way to do this, I feel sure it must bea classic db design exercise, but unfortunatly one they didn't teachus at University -- or maybe I was asleep...Thanks!

Print Attributes In Stored Procedure

Jul 20, 2005

I've upgraded MS-Access 2002 to a MS-Access Project (adp), so now I have todeal with more sophisticated queries (may I call them so?) like storedprocedures. I have a form with a combobox for selections and a textbox toenter a certain value. Let us say I call the combobox @select and thetextbox @find. The combobox always shows the first of the items to select.Now I want to return a message if nothing is found, or if nothing has beenentered at all. The stored procedure reads for instance:ALTER PROCEDURE OPC@select nvarchar(20), @find nvarchar (100)ASSET NOCOUNT ONIF@find IS NULLBEGINPRINT 'You didn't enter any value'RETURNENDIF@select = 'Author'BEGINSELECT *FROM BooksWHERE Author LIKE '%' + @find + '%'ORDER BY Author, Title, Publisher, YearEND[And so on]RETURNThis works correct when I enter something, but when I don't enter any value,a message box pops up saying that the stored procedure has been executed,but no records were found. I want to see an error message like above. It'sas simple asALTER PROCEDURE HelloASBEGINPRINT 'Hello'ENDand nothing is seen. Does anybody know? Thank you.Wim

How Can I Select Duplicated Field Attributes?

Dec 4, 2007



Example:

pcstamp account description
ADM05111059718,307000109 641001 Vencimentos
ADM05081136070,356981897 641001 Vencimentos

ADM05081136281,231965274 641012 Outras Remunerações
ADM05111059718,369000120 641012 Outras Remunerações

i this case the attributes that are equal in the table are account and description

how can i query them doing a select that returns only the attributes with the same value?


I need to delete one of the duplicated attributes of the field, i can't have in this table values matching same account and same description...

Using Historical Attributes With SCD Transform On A Table With A PK

Aug 8, 2007

I must be missing something somewhere...

I have a simple table with three fields: ID, LastName, FirstName. The ID is defined as the PK. In the table is a record of "12345, Smith, John". The incoming flat file has a record of "12345, Smith, Johnny".

In the SCD transform, the ID is the business key, and Last Name and First Name are defined as historical attributes.

During the load, the SCD transform correctly sends the data down the right path, but the insert fails with a primary key violation - as I would expect since it's trying to create a new current record.

How do I get around this problem without removing the PK ???

thx

XML With Dynamic Attributes Based On Column Values

Apr 10, 2007

I have been banging my head against the wall for TWO days. I have
gone back and forth with a very patient guy on thescripts.com. You
can see the ridiculous thread here

http://www.thescripts.com/forum/threadnav628777-1-10.html

If you have time, at least peruse that so we don't go in circles.
Anyway, if you guys can help me solve this, I will be forever
grateful!!


Here is the "basic" problem:


Here is an example for TWO different entities in the database.


EntityID XmlFieldName Value
1 City Austin
1 State TX
1 Country US
2 CityName Los Angeles
2 StateCode CA
2 CountryCode US
2 Zip 111111


Here is how the two different results should be


where EntityID = 1
<Address City="Austin" State="TX" Country="US"/>


where EntityID = 2
<Address CityName="Los Angeles" StateCode="TX" CountryCode="US"
Zip="111111"/>


Notice how the attribute names (City or CityName, State or StateCode,
etc) are based off the XmlFieldName and I don't know in advance what
the possible values will be? I also don't know how many attributes
there will be, but they can be different per entity, depending on how
they have set up an address in our application.


Another thing to note, is that I kind of have this working in an sproc
using PIVOT and generating a table with the values that have the
correct dynamic column names (you can see this on my other thread I
posted above) but I REALLY need this to not use dynamic SQL (so can
use it in a function) if possible and be able to be used in a select
statement, whether it be a temp table as I would like to get a result
set back that I can do a FOR XML RAW on. If this is confusing, it is
because I am delerious. OR is there a way to return a table from an
SPROC that has dynamic columns built?


Please help!! Thanks so much!!!

Xquery - Select Not Returning All Attributes / Values

Jan 29, 2013

I have a table:

Code:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[XmlTable](
[XmlId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[XmlDocument] [xml] NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_XmlTable] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED

[Code] .....

With a schema structure:

Code:
<dev:Doc xmlns:dev="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" SchemaVersion="0.1" Settings="Testing" Title="Ordering">
<dev:Base RevisionNumber="0" Baseid="34433" />
<dev:Rev Time="2013-01-21T15:08:00">
<dev:Person Name="Me" Systemid="54654" />
</dev:Rev>

[code]....

I am trying to return the id, number, name, and location of the visitors

Something like:

Code:
RevNumber Function Id Number Visitor Location Sender
========= =========== ======== ======= ======== ======
0 A1 1 Dev01 STLRF FGY(14A)
0 A1 1 Dev02 STLRF FGY(14A)
0 A1 1 Dev03 FGRTY FGY(14A)
0 A2 1 GHFF NULL W33R
0 A2 2 UDT NULL RJ4

Here is the table insert

Code:
INSERT INTO XmlTable(XMLDocument)
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(
BULK 'C:Users123DesktopPractice.xml',
SINGLE_BLOB) AS x;

I Have gotten a little further, but the number is not showing for A2 and the Sender, visitor is showing null.

Code:
;WITH XMLNAMESPACES ( 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' as dev )
SELECT
Document.value('@Title' , 'NVARCHAR(MAX)') Title,
Functions.value('@Id', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)') Functions,
A1.value('@Number', 'INT') Number,

[code]....

Results I am getting that are not all correct:

Code:
Title Functions Number VisitorName Location Sender
======== ========= ====== =========== ======== ======
Ordering A1 1 Dev01 STLRF NULL
Ordering A1 1 Dev02 STLRF NULL
Ordering A1 1 Dev03 FGRTY NULL
Ordering A2 NULL NULL NULL NULL

Not I changed Rev to Title

How To Build Database To Support User-specified Attributes?

Jul 23, 2005

I have a database that tracks players for children's sports clubs. I haveincluded representative DDL for this database at the end of this post.A single instance of this database supports multiple clubs. I would like toadd support for letting each club define and store custom information abouttheir players. Basically, allows the clubs to define custom attributes forplayers (e.g. "height", "weight", "favourite sweet").A few constraints:1. Any attributes defined is "private" to the defining club. Other clubsaren't aware of it although they may define custom attributes of their ownwith the same name and type. [Perhaps there is a way to share definitions ofidentical attributes?]2. A club doesn't have to define any custom attributes.Has anyone done anything similar?. Any ideas on how it might be done?Kunle=================== BEGIN DDL ===================CREATE TABLE FootballClub (Club_ID int IDENTITY,Name char(80) NOT NULL,Area char(4) NOT NULL,League char(4) NOT NULL,City char(30) NOT NULL,PRIMARY KEY (Club_ID))goexec sp_primarykey FootballClub,Club_IDgoCREATE TABLE Player (Player_ID int IDENTITY,First_Name char(30) NOT NULL,Initials char(30) NULL,Last_Name char(30) NOT NULL,Date_Of_Birth datetime NOT NULL,Position char(4) NULL,Club_ID int NULL,PRIMARY KEY (Player_ID),FOREIGN KEY (Club_ID)REFERENCES FootballClub)goexec sp_primarykey Player,Player_IDgoCREATE TABLE UserAccount (User_ID int IDENTITY,Club_ID int NOT NULL,FullName char(80) NOT NULL,Logon char(20) NOT NULL,PWD_Hash char(60) NOT NULL,PRIMARY KEY (User_ID, Club_ID),FOREIGN KEY (Club_ID)REFERENCES FootballClub)goexec sp_primarykey UserAccount,User_ID,Club_IDgoexec sp_foreignkey Player, FootballClub,Club_IDgoexec sp_foreignkey UserAccount, FootballClub,Club_IDgo=================== END DDL ===================
