SQL TimeSpan And Inserts

May 27, 2008

I need to Add a Check in the database to ensure that user can only enter up to 20 entries to Database in a period of 10 minutes. Basically, to guard against people using scripts to add data to the database ( instead of using CAPTCHAE on the front end) what we want to do is restrict user to entering at most 20 transactions in 10 Minutes.How do I handle or do this in SQl Server 2005??

 

What I figure to do is right after I do an INSERT into the table, I Select the last 20 entries into that same table and then Calculate the Total time it took to add those 20 transactions and set the righ flag.

1) How do I select last 20 entries into a table??

2) How do I calculate the total time that elapsed between adding the first of those 20 records and the last??

Thanks in Advance

Timespan Format

Jun 7, 2007

How can I format a timespan? I have this expression:



Fields!endTime.Value-Fields!startTime.Value



and I need to display as hh:mms. I have been trying to use Format and FormatDateTime but have had no luck yet. Unfortunately, all the examples I have been able to find relate to formatting an actual DateTime, not a timespan. Any help would be much appreciated!

Need To Count Rows Within A Timespan

Dec 29, 2006

I'm new to MS SQL having used MySQL for several years now. I just can't figure out the syntax on counting or selecting rows

a) in the Last X (days, weeks, months...)

or

b) between "date X" and "date Y"

I've tried this to get the last week:
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM contacts
WHERE CONVERT(datetime,timestamp) < (GETDATE() - DATEADD(DAY,7,GETDATE()))
...but I always get a total that includes rows outside the span.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Overlaping Timespan NET Calculations

Apr 18, 2008

I have a table that stores start and end datetime fields per room, per employee.

I may have 4 employees in a room at the same time but they did not all come in the room at the same time and may not leave at the same time either.

I need to calculate the NET number of minutes/hours spent in the room. There may be holes in the timespans when the room is unoccupied. The range could cover more than one day.

Ex:

Room Emp Start End
1 001 2008-01-01 09:00 2008-01-01 11:00
1 002 2008-01-01 09:00 2008-01-01 10:00
1 003 2008-01-01 08:00 2008-01-01 11:00
1 001 2008-01-01 13:00 2008-01-01 14:00
1 002 2008-01-02 13:00 2008-01-02 14:00

The net usage time of room 1 is 5 hours.
The gross total is 8 hours.

Is there a way to calculate this NET total in MSSQL T-SQL or maybe by using a SPROC?

I need this to to bind as a datasource to a Crystal Report document to calculate room availability statistics.

Thanks

Reporting Services :: Timespan - Display Time Difference Between Admission And Discharge Date

Sep 4, 2015

I am trying to display time difference between an Admission Date and a Discharge date as follows:

Admission Date:8/26/2015 6:59pm

I used the following expression but came up with an error

Not sure what I am doing wrong or if this is the best expression to use

Inserts Per Second

Mar 3, 2006

Just curios,

I have four 72 GB Drive on a RAID 5

Disk Specs
IO/Second = 130 per disk
Speed RPM = 15 K

When I did a load test of inserting data into a table
with four Columns

Col1 INT
Col2 VARCHAR(32)
Col3 VARCHAR(4000)
Col4 DATETIME

I could insert around 1044 Inserts per second where as
I thought I could do max of 520 Inserts ( 130 * 4 ) because
each disk can only take 130 Inserts multiplied by 4 Disks
gives me a theoritical limit of 520.

Also How does the Query Analyser Connects to the datbase
Server.. does it use ODBC

Thx

No Of Inserts

Mar 21, 2006

I am doing a simple IO Test with the below script ...

Just wanted to keep things simple and to check how many Inserts I can do on a given SQL Server.
I am running the below script from QA for 1 minute and then divide the No or rows inserted by 60.

Will it give me approximate results by duing this?

Actually the datafiles .MDF files are sitting on a single drive where the manufacturer specs shows that it will handle 130 IO's per disk. With the below script I am getting around 147 Inserts per second.

But my boss says that he is getting 2000 inserts per second on his laptop from a ...Am I missing some thing?

DECLARE @lnRowCnt INT
SELECT @lnRowCnt = 100000

WHILE @lnRowCnt > 0
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
INSERT INTO CTMessages..Iotest
SELECT @lnRowCnt , 'VENU' , REPLICATE ( 'V' , 4000 ) , 1000000

SELECT @lnRowCnt = @lnRowCnt - 1
END

Two Inserts In One InsertCommand

Apr 11, 2007

I'm using a SQLDataSource and trying to do two inserts into two different tables with one InsertCommand, but it's not working. Here's the code I'm trying to use. Do you see anything wrong with the syntax? I keep getting an error that says error near ','  but I can't figure out why. Thanks
 
InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [OurProjects] ([Title], [Description], [Location], [Anchors], [Size], [Developer], [DesignBuilder], [Architect], [ImageName], [MapName], [ProjectTypeAbbrev], [Deleted]) VALUES (@Title, @Description, @Location, @Anchors, @Size, @Developer, @DesignBuilder, @Architect, @ImageName, @MapName, @ProjectTypeAbbrev, @Deleted),
INSERT INTO [OurProjectsImages] ([OurProjectsID], [ImageMonthName], [SwfName]) VALUES (@OurProjectsID, @ImageMonthName, @SwfName)"

Next Inserts ID Number, Someone Please Help

Sep 21, 2004

G'day,
I have a table with a primary key being a bigint and its set to auto increment (or identity or whatever ms calls it). Is there anyway I can get the ID number that will be assigned to the next Insert before I insert it? I want to use that ID number within another field when inserted.

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks for any help.

Multiple Inserts

Jul 14, 2005

Hi, I'm trying to create a form where new names can be added to a database. The webform looks like this:<body MS_POSITIONING="GridLayout">        <form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">         Name:<asp:TextBox ID="newName" runat="server" />         <INPUT id="NewUserBtn" type="button" value="Create New User" name="NewUserBtn" runat="server"            onServerClick="NewBtn_Click">&nbsp;     </form>And the code behind looks like this:Public Sub NewBtn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles NewUserBtn.ServerClick        Dim DS As DataSet        Dim MyConnection As SqlConnection        Dim MyCommand As SqlDataAdapter
        MyConnection = New SqlConnection("server=databaseserver;database=db;uid=uid;pwd=pwd")        MyCommand = New SqlDataAdapter("insert into certifications (name) values ('" & newName.Text & "'); select * from certifications", MyConnection)
        DS = New DataSet        MyCommand.Fill(DS, "Titles")
        Response.Redirect("WebForm1.aspx", True)    End SubWhen I try to insert one name it works. When I try to insert a second name, it overwrites the old one. Why is that?Thanks.James

Identity Inserts

Apr 15, 2006

Hey All,
I was trying to use a typed dataset to create a very simple DAL. I found that the code generated for the INSERT statement includes an identity field the table has. That can obviously never work (unless identity_insert is set, which it is not). My question is whether it is possible to control this insert statement generation? Is there a property I am missing somewhere? My solution was to change the INSERT statement on the DataTableAdapter, but that seems awkward for me to have to do that..
Thanks,
Yuval

Volume Inserts

Jan 24, 2000

We have a 4 processor 350 Hz NT 4.0 SQL server. Currently we have an application
that is inserting rows one at a time, each row insert is a separate transaction.
Currenty we are averaging 2500 rows a second with each row ( 56 bytes wide).
The data and the log are on one string of Raid disk. We plan to get another controller
and raid string to separate the data and the log onto separate controllers.
The developer is modifying the application to insert the data in blocks. What is the
impact to the transaction log? He seems to think that by inserting page blocks on
rows there would be less data going into the transaction log. Why would this be so?
Does anyone have any information on practical limits for inserts and log truncation
with similar machine configurations. He would like to try to get around 150,000 rows a second.
Has anyone accomplished inserts at this rate? What type of machine configuration?

Inserts Overwriting

Nov 21, 2001

Hi,
I have a small web application managing complaints. During multiuser testing we noticed that when complaints where added at "exactly" the same time one complaint text seemed to be over writing the other, and returning the current max value for table id as current complaint number.

I tested in my development environment and was able to recreate reasonably easily ( 1 go out of 3 recreated the issue ). The Id column itself is an auto increment ( primary key ), so I can't think of a concievable reason why one record should overwrite another. I should say that I am assuming the record is overwritten, perhaps there is a clash and one complaint is ignored by the database.

Have anyone encountered this in the past?


Thanks

I have a procedure that I call on one database, and one of it's steps is to write to a table on another database, same server. the user exists in both databases, but i keep getting errors when i try and write to this second database. i know i can fix this by giving the user insert permissions on the table in this second database, but i do not want this for security purposes. any other ideas on how to accomplish this?

Massive Inserts

Currenlty I have huge amounts of data going into a table.
I'm sending an xmldoc and using openxml with a cursor to seed them.

the question I have is whether to let duplicate keyed data rows bounce
and then check @@error and then do an update on the nokeyed field
or
to do a select on the keyed field and then do an insert or update based on the
selects results.

Speed is my goal.

Dynamic Inserts

May 27, 2008

Hello All,

I have to create dynamic insert statements for the table. For example there are DevTableA and ProdTableA tables. I worte a SQL to get the new records added in the DevTableA but are not there in ProdTableA. The result gives me a list of rows. These tables have a column 'LanguageID' and 'LText'

The compare result has records only for LanguageID = 0. One I see the compare result. I am suppose to create insert statements for LanguageID = 1,2,5 and 6 and update the Ltext for those languages. The Ltext for other languages is in spreadsheet.

Can anyone advice me how to create the insert statements from the comapre result and add 4 more insert statements for LanguageID = 1,2,5 and 6 with their respective Ltext.

So far I thought I can create #table. Looks like I need more than 1 # table.

Thanks in advance

Bulk Inserts

Mar 3, 2006

I'm trying to perform a bulk insert as shown below. It's problematic b/c it's not updating the identity fields correctly and we're getting dups. I think, but I'm not sure, that On Update Cascade would solve all this, b/c we wouldn't have to concern ourselves with even touching the identity fields, b/c they would be autogenerated. Can someone shed some light?? I'm pretty confused.

Speeding Up Inserts

But if I can't create a file on the server touse for BULK INSERT, what is the next best alternative to doing lotsof 1 record insert statements?Thanks,-Emin

Single Row Inserts

Feb 29, 2008

I've got a package that needs to do various single-row inserts/updates throughout the flow of the package. Each insert/update will use values from variables.

What is the best practice for doing this? I was going to use a DFT with my source being a derived column transformation, but it expects a true data source.

I've also thought about just using the obvious -- a SQL command task -- by my experience with doing commands using single values is that it's very quirky and hard to get the data types and mappings to cooperate.

I'm betting the SQL command task is my only option, but I wanted to check here first to see if others had other ideas.

Thanks in advance.

Handling Nulls With Inserts

Apr 18, 2007

Hi,I've got a program that has a form. On the form there are several fields which are optional that I would prefer to remain as NULL in the database (rather than a default value) if the user doesn't fill them out. I'm using stored procedures for my inserts (sql 2000 + C#). How do most people handle these situations? Right now I have a seperate function which receives the parameter values as params and then handles creating the parameters and executing the stored procedure. I'm not sure how to handle passing that I want one of those to be null, at least not without having multiple functions and possibly various stored procedures for different possibilities.Thanks.

Nested Inserts With TSQL

Dec 21, 2003

Hi I have to strings that can both each contain an indeterminable length. These strings are

UserID
NoteID

and will contain something like

UserID = '1, 2, 3, 4'
NoteID = '4, 9, 18, 21, 23, 27'

However its not known the length of each and so we could have the reverse of the above.

I am to insert x amount of notes to one userId and vice versa, but I'm trying to figure out how to do both so the insert would resemble the following.

UserID NoteID

1 4
1 9
1 18
1 21
1 23
1 27
2 4
2 9
etc, etc

This is sp that does it and it works fine for just one or the other, I just don't have much experience in this kind of thing. The spInsertAssignedNoteDetail at the end simply makes the insert when I have both numbers.

Heres my attempt, but i'm just stuck as to where to go from here


CREATE PROCEDURE spInsertAssignedNotesByList
@FK_UserIDList NVARCHAR(4000) = NULL,
@FK_NoteIDList NVARCHAR(4000) = NULL

AS
SET NOCOUNT ON

DECLARE @Length INT
DECLARE @Note_Length INT

DECLARE @FirstUserIDWord NVARCHAR(4000)
DECLARE @FK_UserID INT
DECLARE @FK_NoteID INT


SELECT @Length = DATALENGTH(@FK_UserIDList )
SELECT @Note_Length = DATALENGTH(@FK_NoteIDList )

WHILE @Length > 0 or @Note_Length > 0
BEGIN
EXECUTE @Length = PopFirstWord @FK_UserIDList OUTPUT, @FirstUserIDWord OUTPUT


IF @Length > 0
BEGIN

Batch Inserts From DataTable

Jun 24, 2005

Please help guys,I have a DataTable filled from the parsing of a csv file by the OleDb text driver.This DataTable could on occassion contain in excess of 2000 rows.I want to be able to batch the inserts to my backend sql table and be able to recorver on errors during the insert.i.e, maybe send the first 500 rows to insert via an insert dynamic text.... really don't know the optimal insert technic to use.but, if I get an error on say the third batch, I want to be able to recorver, and not have to start all over again and continue the inserts from the batch that failed.....Please help... what is the best way to perform the inserts and how can I track these inserts and recorver on errors like power failures or sql server unavailable etc.Please help....

Parametized Inserts In A Loop

Mar 12, 2006

Hi,
I have a for next loop that I am using to write some data into a table.
The problem I have is one of the fields is an @parameter
The relevant bit of VB.net code is:
Dim dbpm_theDateTime As System.Data.IDataParameter = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter
           
            dbConnection.Open()
            For intCounter As Integer = 0 To ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count - 1
          
                querystring = "Insert into tblActionsToDo ([TheDT], [username]) VALUES (@theDateTime, '" & username & "’)?
           
                dbpm_theDateTime = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter
                dbpm_theDateTime.ParameterName = "@theDateTime"
                dbpm_theDateTime.Value = tmpstrDT
                dbpm_theDateTime.DbType = System.Data.DbType.DateTime
                dbCommand.Parameters.Add(dbpm_theDateTime)
               
                dbCommand.CommandText = querystring
                                
                rowsAffected = dbCommand.ExecuteNonQuery
               
               
            Next
The first time through the for next loop, everything works fine.  The next time though I get an error that @theDateTime has already been defined.  To be fair, it is true; but how do I get round this?  I've tried making the @parameter a string so that I can manipulate it as "@parameter" & intcounter, and thus have a uniquely-named varaible for every loop, but it doesn't work.
thanks for any pointers
