SQL Server 2012 :: Adding A Number To A String To Create Series
Sep 3, 2014
add a number to the end of an ID to create a series.For example, I have an EventID that may have many sub events. If the EventID is 31206, and I want to have subEvents, I would like have the following sequence. In this case, lets say I have 4 sub Events so I want to check the EventID and then produce:
312061
312062
312063
312064
How can I check what the EventID is, then concatenate a sequence number by the EventID?
How to create a row number for a consecutive action. Example: I have a listing of people who have either completed a goal or not. I need to count by person the number of consecutively missed goals.
My sql table is this: PersonId, GoalDate, GoalStatus (holds completed or missed)
My first thought was to use the rownumber function however that doesn’t work because someone could complete a goal, miss a goal, then complete one and when they complete a goal after a missed goal the count has to start over.
I have a text field which has entries of variable length of the form:
"house:app.apx&resultid=1234,clientip" or "tost:app.apx&resultid=123,clientip" or "airplane:app.apx&resultid=123489,clientip"
I'm trying to pick out the numbers between resultid='...',clientip no matter what the rest of the string looks like. So in this example it would be the numbers:
1234 123 12389
the part of the string of the form resultid='...',clientip always stays the same except the length of the number can vary.
I have a series of records based on empid where I want to identify the empid that may have discrepancies listed. I have some empids that are listed more than once and have different DOB's. In the example I am trying to Create a DOB_ERROR column and either say yes if the DOB doesn't match the other records in the file with the same empid.
SELECT Empid, DOB, CASE WHEN DOB = DOB THEN 'No' ELSE 'Yes' END AS DOB_ERROR, City, St, Gender FROM Emp WHERE EMPID IN
To be able to tell the Period number ([PD]) to change from an integer to a var_char so that it can be concatenated with the Fiscal Year. I.e. Fiscal Year || Period number to produce the following results.
2006 01
2006 02
2006 03
Etc……
Status of Problem:
The issue is that I can only get it done to the point to where the Fiscal Year || Period number yields the following results:
20061
200610
200611
200612
20062
Etc….
This is as issue since I am trying to get all the information from the past to a certain year and period. Using a filter that says
Fiscal Year + Period Number <= ?Prompt_Fiscal_Year? + ?Prompt_Period_Number?
So if I enter Year: 2007 Period 3
I should get:
2006 01
2006 02
2006 03
Etc…….
2006 11
2006 12
2007 01
2007 02
2007 03
Can you please let me know if my thinking is off or if my SQL is wrong, Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Other than right-clicking on each individual table in SSMS and generating a CREATE script, is there a simple way to generate CREATE TABLE scripts for tables within a given database?
Background: I have a bunch of tables in one database, and I would like to add tables to a second database that have the same names and basic structures of some of the tables from the first database.
I do not need to transfer any data from the tables, this is a seperate project that will use a similar data structure. I just want to generate the CREATE TABLE scripts for 30ish tables within the first database, and then I'll tweak the scripts as appropriate and run them against the new database.
I need to design a table header for inventory transactions with the specifications as follows:
1. System-generated series numbers (integer)
2. Series numbers must be unique by branch by transaction type. Thus if I have following:
Branches: Br1, Br2
Transaction Type: SRS (Stock Receipt from Supplier), SRB(.. from Branch)
The series number must be implemented in such a way that,
Br1 SRS 0000000001
Br1 SRB 0000000001
Br2 SRS 0000000001
Br2 SRB 0000000001
Then, in every INSERT, series number should be incremented by 1, grouped by branch by transaction type. That is, after INSERT with Br1/SRB the figure may now look like,
Br1 SRS 0000000001
Br1 SRB 0000000002
How do I design my table in order to achieve this? Note that this table header will have a detail (master/detail) referenced by foreign key.
As the Microsoft Time Series algorithm implementation is based upon the Autoregressive Tree approach described in:
C. Meek, D. M. Chickering, D. Heckerman. Autoregressive Tree Models for Time-Series Analysis. In Proc. 2nd Intl. SIAM Conf. on Data Mining, 2002 (SDM-02). SIAM, pp. 229 €“ 244. http://www.siam.org/meetings/sdm02/proceedings/sdm02-14.pdf.
The model estimated is refererred to as an instance of "... autoregressive tree models of length p, denoted ART(p). An ART(p) model is an ART model in which each leaf node of the decision tree contains an AR(p) model, and the split variables for the decision tree are chosen from among the previous p variables in the time series..." (see the last paragraph of p. 2 of the paper).
What is the value of "p" used in the Microsoft Time Series implementation -- specifically, how many previous time series variables are used in estimating the model? It doesn't appear that this value can be specified in the algorithm parameters -- is that correct?
We have some URLs within a bulk block of text some of which are very long. I need to identify rows where such urls exceed say 100 characters in length in amongst other text.So the rule would be return a record if within the string there is a string (without spaces) longer than 100 characters.
Hello, I am tring to add a string my database. Info is added, but it is the name of the string, not the data contained within. What am I doing wrong? The text "Company" and "currentUserID" is showing up in my database, but I need the info contained within the string. All help is appreciated!

I am planning to add some new columns to an existing sql server 2012 table. I know that I need to use the alter statement to accomplish this goal. However my questions is the location of where I want to add the new columns to the table. It would make more sense to add the new columns to the middle of the table since these columns have a similar meaning as other columns in the middle of the table.
However is it better to add these new columns at the end of the table? I am asking this question since I am thinking I might need some sql to move the values of existing columns and values around?
Thus is it better to add new columns to a table in the middle of the table, at the end of the table, or at the end of the table? If so, why one location is better than another location?
I am trying to insert a single row in Temp table #InventoryItems . The temp table is mentioned in a curosor childcur_inventory. While looping through the cursor I have mentioned nested if else condition . In the Else condition where I have mentioned PRINT "Hello World" I want to insert a single row in the temp #InventoryItems. I trying to use Select Top 1 but the cursor is looping indefinitely trying to insert multiple record
I want to insert only one record with null values.
DECLARE childcur_inventory CURSOR FOR SELECT Structure_Number, State, Neighbor_State, Border_Bridge_Structure_Number FROM #InventoryItems OPEN childcur_inventory FETCH childcur_inventory INTO @Structure_Number, @State, @Neighbour_State, @Border_Bridge_Structure_Number
I need to add a join in my select query depending upon a variable @LoggedUser. the Join is to be there if @loggedUser is 1 else i do not need it. Currently I am using two different queries one with join and one without it under If (@LoggedUser check).
the join is like - JOIN (SELECT CAST(CONVERT(VARCHAR(8),Analyst_Effective_date , 1) AS DATETIME) Analyst_Effective_date FROM Users us (NOLOCK) JOIN Primary_Analysts (NOLOCK) ON User_Count_Id = Analyst_Id_fk WHERE User_Count_Id in ((SELECT VALUE FROM dbo.fParseString(@Analyst, ',')) )) Ana ON dep.Departure_Code = Ana.Primary_Analyst_Departure_Code_fk )
Any way that the join can be added conditionally in the query so i do not have to write the whole code again for one join.
I have a data output with many rows. In order to group things with flags, I do this in excel using 2 formulas which *** a flag of 0 or 1 in 2 new columns.
This takes a long long time as I have hundreds of thousands of rows and wondered of I could do it in sql?
Its transact SQL and the formulas I use in excel are:
I have a situation that I need to add a field to a table over linked server. The specifications of this is dynamic and it is being done in TQL / Stored procedures and this can not change. My code is generating the statement just fine and if I copy paste it to a new SSMS window and execute it WORKS.. The problem is I need to dynamically generate the statement (I am doing that just fine, I THINK). THEN I need to execute the statement IN THE SPROC, this part is not working.
Here is the code:
SET @AlterSQL = @DestinationServerName + '.[' + @DestinationDBName +'].' + @DestinationSchemaName + '.sp_executesql N'' ALTER TABLE ' + @DestinationTableName + ' ADD ' + @TempColumn + ' int' + CHAR(39)
The above Creates this when I expose it via a PRINT statement:
addb15.[FSParallel].dbo.sp_executesql N' ALTER TABLE Node ADD ImportIdentity int'
After I create the statement I use:
EXEC @AlterSQL
And this returns the following error:
Msg 2812, Level 16, State 62, Procedure ETLDynamicImport, Line 244 Could not find stored procedure 'FSParallel.dbo.sp_executesql N' ALTER TABLE Node ADD ImportIdentity int''.
'SELECT E.EmployeeID FROM dbo.EmployeeGroupMapToEmployee E, dbo.Per_Budget B WHERE E.EmployeeID = B.PER_PERSONAL_ID AND B.PEB_Budget_id = 243 AND E.EmployeeGroupID IN (SELECT H.Id FROM dbo.EmployeeGroup H WHERE H.InstitutionsId = 22) GROUP BY E.EmployeeID '
If i Replace @EmpFilterAddDuty with this in a QUERY, it gives me the expected result, but if i try to execute the stored procedure.:
DECLARE@return_value int EXEC@return_value = [dbo].[EP_Conterbalances] @Start_Date_For_Totals_Date = N'20120831', @EmpFilterAddDuty = 'SELECT E.EmployeeID FROM dbo.EmployeeGroupMapToEmployee E, dbo.Per_Budget B
[Code] .....
I get this error code:
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'SELECT E.EmployeeID FROM dbo.EmployeeGroupMapToEmployee E, dbo.Per_Budget B WHERE E.EmployeeID = B.PER_PERSONAL_ID AND B.PEB_Budget_id = 243 AND E.EmployeeGroupID IN (SELECT H.Id FROM dbo.EmployeeGroup H WHERE H.InstitutionsId = 22) GROUP BY E.EmployeeID ' to data type int.
I really do not understand why SQL 2012 tries to convert the value to an int, and I want to know how to pass the text string.

automatically replicates new databases to Availability Group partners - if you do a little prep work on your environment first.To make it work:
1) Create linked servers on all group members pointing to all other servers in the group, with names matching the hostnames they represent. 2) Ensure suitable credentials (or 'current context' impersonation) for linked servers. Also: Enable RPC and RPC OUT 3) Run the DDL code below. 4) Schedule hadr_replicate_queue on [master] to run as often as you want initial syncs to occur. Every 5-10 minutes is plenty for most purposes. 5) Connect to an availability group listener and call CREATE DATABASE :)
I use a slightly more extended version of this code at home to do things like permissions synchronization across replicas - I essentially allow applications to install direct to an availability group replica and then have all the relevant objects replicate to other nodes. I don't really like going through manually and doing things, even though there's an AddIn from SQLSkills for management studio - it still requires manual intervention.
The main use I have for this at home is that I'm using the Azure pack, and want to automatically ensure that my newly created 'SQL Server Cloud' databases are highly available, plus it means when I install a non-alwayson aware product it doesn't require any extra work afterwards to allow failover to another machine.

how i can add date using ssis or data tools 2012..My flat files had no date..den my instructor gave us a database where it has recordstartdate, recordenddate and currentdate.how i suppose to add date?
When adding a node to a SQL Server 2012 Standard edition cluster, how I do I identify the location for SQL server shared components and the rest of the SQL Server installation binaries?
When adding a node to a SQL Server 2012 Standard edition cluster all the binaries went to the C: drive default location. We put those files on a different drive when installing the first node. What needs to be done so both nodes have the binaries on the same drives and folders?
The script is failing at this point "DATEADD(mm, RowNum, salesdate) subscriptionrowdate" dont know exactly where i am going wrong.
This is my code
SELECT *, CAST(viasatsubscriptionid as char(8)) +'_'+LTRIM(STR(RowNum))subscriptionrowlog, DATEADD(mm, RowNum, salesdate) subscriptionrowdate FROM ( SELECT viasatsubscriptionid, firstproductregistrationdate, salesdate, baseenddate, ROW_NUMBER() over(Partition by viasatsubscriptionid order by salesdate)-1 RowNum FROM stage_viasatsubscription )a
SELECT COUNT(id) as viewcount from location_views WHERE createdate>DATEADD(dd,-30,getdate()) AND objectid=357 SELECT COUNT(id)*2 as clickcount FROM extlinks WHERE createdate>DATEADD(dd,-30,getdate()) AND objectid=357
But I want to add the COUNT statements, so this is what I did:
select COUNT(vws.id)+COUNT(lnks.id)*2 AS totalcount FROM location_views vws,extlinks lnks WHERE (vws.createdate>DATEADD(dd,-30,getdate()) AND vws.objectid=357) OR (lnks.createdate>DATEADD(dd,-30,getdate()) AND lnks.objectid=357)
Turns out the query becomes immensely slow. There must be something I'm doing wrong here which results in such bad performance, but what is it?
Is there a way to query the LDAP from inside the CMS? I know I can add a linked server in a singular instance but I'd like to do it inside a server group. I haven't found anything so far about querying the LDAP inside a server group so it might not be possible?
I am getting inconsistent results when BULK INSERTING data from a tab-delimited text file. As part of my testing, I run the same code on the same file again and again, and I get different results every time! I get this on SQL 2005 and SQL 2012 R2.
We have an application that imports data from a spreadsheet. The sheet contains section headers with account numbers and detail rows with transactions by date:
AAAA.1234 /* (account number)*/ 1/1/2015 $150 First Transaction 1/3/2015 $24.233 Second Transaction BBBB.5678 1/1/2015 $350 Third Transaction 1/3/2015 $24.233 Fourth Transaction
My Import program saves this spreadsheet at tab-delimited text, then I use BULK INSERT to bring the data into a generic table full of varchar(255) fields. There are about 90,000 rows in each day's data; after the BULK INSERT about half of them are removed for various reasons.
Next I add a RowID column to the table with the IDENTITY (1,1) property. This gives my raw data unique row numbers.
I then run a routine that converts and copies those records into another holding table that's a copy of the final destination table. That routine parses though the data, assigning the account number in the section header to each detail row. It ends up looking like this:
AAAA.1234 1/1/2015 $150 First Purchase AAAA.1234 1/3/2015 $24.233 Second Purchase BBBB.5678 1/1/2015 $350 Third Purchase BBBB.5678 1/3/2015 $24.233 Fourth Purchase
My technique: I use a cursor to get the starting RowID for each Account Number: I then use the upper and lower RowIDs to do an INSERT into the final table. The query looks like this:
SELECT RowID, SUBSTRING(RowHeader, 6,4) + '.UBC1' AS AccountNumber FROM GenericTable WHERE RowHeader LIKE '____.____%'
Results look like this:
But every time I run the routine, I get different numbers!
Needless to say, my results are not accurate. I get inconsistent results EVERY TIME. Here is my code, with table, field and account names changed for business confidentiality.
TRUNCATE TABLE GenericImportTable; ALTER TABLE GenericImportTable DROP COLUMN RowID; BULK INSERT GenericImportTable FROM 'SERVERGeneralAppnameDataFile.2015.05.04.tab.txt' WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = ' ', ROWTERMINATOR = '', FIRSTROW = 6) ALTER TABLE GenericImportTable ADD RowID int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL SELECT RowID, SUBSTRING(RowHeader, 6,4) + '.UBC1' AS AccountNumber FROM GenericImportTable WHERE RowHeader LIKE '____.____%'
I have to create a DSN for SQL-Server. Therefor I use the function "SQLConfigDataSource" from "ODBCCP32.DLL". But the problem is that the SQL-Server does not use the Standard-Portnumber 1433. I've tried to make the DSN with "SERVERNAME xxxx" where xxxx is the Portnumber, sometimes it works, but often it does not. When it does not work, then the Checkbox in the ODBC-Configuration-Tool is checked, so the connection is searching for the standard-port. How can I tell the system that it shall NOT use dynamic configuration?
