Hi MAK,
I got this piece of code from one of your articles:
select * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Excel 8.0;DATABASE=c: est.xls', 'Select * from [Book1$]')
Question is, how can I use a fully qualified path for the xls file name if the file is located on the network elsewhere?is that possible with this option?
Thank you!
Let's say I have a table of data as per the below..
I'm trying to extract only the green highlighted items..
The rules applied are: Only the latest data concerning all cases, and only 1 line (the latest) per case.
As you can see in the image, I don't want the 2nd,3rd, and 4th record extracted cause they are all superseded by more recent records (identified as they are further in the table).
I've considered using either Distinct or Having? but can't get that to work.. If I could use Distinct but then ensure it's the latest record in the table that would be perfect.
Is it possible to attach Query Analyzer to an Access database to query data (how?) or must one upsize the MDB into a SQL database for querying?
Thanks,

Hi All !I open a table in Query Analyzer by right clicking on it andselecting 'Open' and when the data is displayed in the view pane Iwould like to be able to edit it. It seems however that tables markedas read only (as shown on the top bar e.g. SQL Query Analyzer - [OpenTable ServerName.DBName.dbo.TableName(read-only)] ) can not be editedwhereas the one that do not have that attribute infront of the name Ican edit. Is there a way I can change the read only attribute of atable so that I can edit data directly in the view pane?Please let me know if there is !Thanks a heap ! :)Harkirat
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using SQL7 Query Analyzer. A simple select * from myMLSview andthen I save results as a .csv file has the commas messed up in quite afew places. The data is messed up before I save it to the .csv file. Sothere are blank spaces being added here and there causing them to readas 'add comma' when saving to .csv format. Even the column data ismessed up... example: ,photo_mod_time,photo_mo,d_date, should read,photo_mod_time,photo_mod_date,I have a view on a remote MS-SQL7 Server, the view has about 200columns and the data returned from the my querys can be from 10 to 25MBin size.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi there, I have installed Sql server 2005 developer on my machine which already has a Sql server 2000 installed on. Now i am trying to query the Sqlserver 2005 data(Ex: from Person.Address located in AdventureWorks database) in Sqlserver 2000 query analyzer:
When i try as Select * from Address it said invalid object.
But when i explored AdventureWorks database in the Management studio i see it as Person.Address!!! i don't understand what is a Person in Person.Address??? any clues on this?
So as a test when i ran select * from Person.Address it did work and i saw the results in query analyzer.
Can any one help me understand about this confusion?

I have a strange problem. I have some code that executes a sql query. If I run the query in SQL server query analyzer, I get a set of data returned for me as expected. This is the query listed on lines 3 and 4. I just manually type it into query analyzer.
Yet when I run the same query in my code, the result set is slightly different because it is missing some data. I am confused as to what is going on here. Basically to examine the sql result set returned, I write it out to an XML file. (See line 16).
Why the data returned is different, I have no idea. Also writing it out to an XML file is the only way I can look at the data. Otherwise looking at it in the debugger is impossible, with the hundreds of tree nodes returned.
If someone is able to help me figure this out, I would appreciate it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi friends,
I am new to MSAS world. I need help related to this. I want to pull data from MSAS cube programmatically. Only way I know is thru ODBO, but that won't help me in this case, cause I might have to drill down upto all possible intersections stored in MSAS (at least all of the stored members). Doing this thru MDX could be humongous thing, at least manipulating data taken out using ODBO.
I might be missing something out here. Can anybody help. It would also help if somebody can tell me if any other approach is poosible.
Thank you.

View 2 Replies View RelatedOk I wrote a SSIS package that will pull down data from my AS/400 and populate a SQL Server table with the data.
1)The data is being pulled from my China configured AS/400. It is configured to handle DBCS
2)The SQL Server tables are configured to handle DBCS by using the nvarchar datatype.
3)When I run this package on my machine against the production server, it works perfectly.

eventually I started using DERIVED Tables and Sub queries within them if needed. I like choking down all the queries in the selects joining them and having your result set select there to choose from all the aliases, it also resolves while doing this. So much easier IMO than using CTE's or TEMP Tables. I was big on temp tables for a while...
I'm curious though if you want to count a type of criteria in a column do you use a standard case in your inner query choking it down just for those particular counts? Then do another case on the other criteria and END AS with the alias name?
E.G.
CASE WHEN COLUMN1 = PIZZA THEN COUNT(COLUMN1) END AS PIZZACOUNT
CASE WHEN COLUMN1 = ROOTBEER THEN COUNT(COLUMN!) END AS ROOTBEERCOUNT
ETC...........
I have a table, multiple columns, thousands of rows.
Six of the columns is the data that i need to work with...
col1, col2, col3, col4, col5, col6
col1 and col2 - go together - example. col1 = amount col2 = description
col3 and col4 - go together col3 = amount col4 description
col5 and col6 - go together col5 amount and 6 description
i need to pull search the table based on an auto number "id" and pull in the necessary two columns that correspond with a set value in the description.
example:
if col4 has "fee applied" in the description i need to pull the amount.
Please help...
Thank you in advance

So this could be a long story.
Server1 = Previous "Test box", Windows Server 2003 Standard, SQL 2005 Standard SP1 with hotfixes, 2 processor 4 gig RAM
Server2 = New "Box for production", Windows Server 2003 Enterprise, SQL 2005 Standard SP1 with hotfixes, 2 Dual Core Processor, 16 gig Ram
This is for a datawarehouse environment. I pull a lot of data every night from an Oracle database. On Server1 the process took about an hour to pull all my data accross, on Server2 it takes more than 3 hours. I use SSIS packages to pull the data accross.
Even just running an OPENQUERY statement takes a lot longer. On Server1 returned about 150K record in 1.5 minutes and now on Server2 it only return 40K.
Have I missed a setting on my re-install. It the same SQL build number, SP_Configure has exactly the same settings and everything seems the same. I ftp'ed a file from the oracle box to each of my boxes and had very similar results, so it doesn't seem to be a network issue.
Any help would be much appreciated, is there anything that would cause SQL to pull data 3 times slower from an external datasource?
Thanks in advance guys,

Hey guys,
I have created an asp.net page where users can select multiple items and then submit the form. I would like to return related items back. The catch is, I want to only return items that are related to all of the selected items.
I've created a SQL Procedure that puts each of the inputted item's ItemId in to a temp table, I have a second table called RelatedItems which I use as my junction table that has ItemId, and ReleatedItemId, I then have my Item table that has the data I want to get to (I've excluded this because I have no trouble pulling out data once I have an ItemId)
I can pull out all related ItemIds with a simple join, however I don't know where to start when it comes to pulling out only items related to all ItemIds in the @TempTable.
Any help or suggestions would be great.
Thanks,
Matt

Hi all,
In an approach of building an ETL tool, we are into a situation wherein, a table has to be loaded on an incremental basis. The first run all the records apporx 100 lacs has to be loaded. From the next run, only the records that got updated since the last run of the package or newly added are to be pulled from the source Database. One idea we had was to have two OLE DB Source components, in one get those records that got updated or was added newly, since we have upddate cols in the DB getting them is fairly simple, in the next OLEDB source load all the records form the Destination, pass it onto a Merge Join then have a Conditional Split down the piple line, and handle the updates cum insert.
Now the question is, how slow the show is gonna be ? Will there be a case that the Source DB returns records pretty fast and Merge Join fails in anticipation of all the records from the destination ?
What might be the ideal way to go about my scenario.. Please advice...
Thanks in advance.
My goal is to show the most recent 12 months of data including the current month based on a patients discharge date (relative to the query execution time). There could be many years of data so I want to be sure I am pulling the most recent 12 monthsThis seems to work (on the surface anyway … not quite sure if this is the best logic to use).
DATEDIFF(month,PAT_ENC_HSP_discharged.HOSP_DISCH_TIME,
GEtDate())

I've got a table full of data like so:
varchar(MAX) as
'MSG|John|J|Smith EVN|2008-02-01|A03 ADD|101 Highland St|Mount Vernon|WA|55231 OBS|Flu|Severe OBS|Mumps|Mild'
To explain this more thoroughly, the data is organized into segments: MSG, EVN, ADD, and OBS.
Each message may have 1+ of each of these segments.
What I'd like to do is pull the contents of all OBS segments and put them into a table.
I know I can identify them using the regex of ' OBS|' but I'm not clear on how to capture anything but the first one easily. Programmatically, it's simple. SQL I'm not so sure.
Can anyone give me a gentle nudge in the right direction?
Thanks!
Hello All,
I have an application pulling data from SQL Server 2005 which is running on windows mobile 5 devices, and RDA is setup and working perfectly over http and this is in the production for long time, but we have decided to implement SSL for transportation recently and we have a certificate installed to the server and i am trying to pull data using https and getting "the request to send data to the computer running IIS has failed" message, only RDA stopped working over SSL, i can access scripts and other resources from the device using https (I made code to trust any certificate for any web requests) the link to the dll is accessible from outside, i have installed the root certicate on the server, the virtual directory has been changed to communicate via https on web synchronization wizard, then problem occurs, otherwise it will work ok, i am totally stuck at this point, is this a problem with port setup port 443 is opened, the issue is clearly a SSL issue. any help would be appreciated..what are the things to be done to implement SSL for RDA, i don't see anything more in msdn.
thank you so much!
