Selecting Random Data From Sql Server

Jan 21, 2008

 I have three tables that are joined together to retrieve a piece of data.
Table One has the columns pid1(PK), id
Table Two has the columns pid1, qid1, id
Table three has columns qid1, question, answer
Here is my sql statement:
SELECT  Table1.pid1, Table2.qid1, Table3.Question FROM Table1 JOIN Table2 ON Table1.pid1=Table2.pid1 JOIN Table3 ON Table2.qid1=Table3.qid1 WHERE Table1.pid=...(N)
I put an elipsis because I'm stuck on how to proceed from here.  See I need to randomly select a value from column pid1 in table1 then use this value to replace N in the sql statement, then have the statement run and randomly return exactly one piece of data instead.
Is this possible?
How can you randomly get one piece of data from joining three table without a WHERE CLAUSE.

SELECTing Random Record From TABLE?

Apr 24, 2001

Hello.
I need to select a random record from TABLE. It might look easy with using RAND() function, but the tricky part is that ID's which are the PRIMARY KEY, were assigned as a random number.
So right now ID's in that TABLE look some thing like that: -18745, 45809, 129, -5890023, 487910943, -209, etc...
If any one have any ideas please respond.
Thanks in advance.

SQL Server 2005 Hanging - Selecting Uncommitted Data

Dec 5, 2006

We have found an issue with using MSS 2005 with odbc connections, some of
our code inserts data, then reselects the data back with a select using a
different handle. This hasn't caused any issues before but in one customer
this causes a lock up. The timeout error doesn't occur as you would expect
if trying to select data that is uncommitted by another user.

Although obviously we could re-code to avoid selecting uncommitted rows, can
anyone tell me why this works sometimes but not others. Some kind of
setting in MSS that we're unaware of maybe. The code works ok on other MSS
2005 & MSS 2000 servers and oracle & sqlbase.

SQL Server 2012 :: Dynamically Create A Script Only Selecting Columns Where There Is Data?

Dec 2, 2013

I have created some dynamic sql to check a temporary table that is created on the fly for any columns that do contain data. If they do the column name is added to a dynamic sql, if not they are excluded. This looks like:

If (select sum(Case when [Sat] is null then 0 else 1 end) from #TABLE) >= 1 begin set @OIL_BULK = @OIL_BULK + '[Sat]' +',' END However, I am currently running this on over 230 columns and large tables 1.3 mil rows and it is quite slow. How I can dynamically create a sql script that only selects the columns in the table where there is data in a speedier manner. Unfortunately it has to be on the fly because the temporary table is created on the fly.

SQL Server 2012 :: Selecting Data From A Change Log Where Date Falls Between Two Rows

Aug 29, 2014

I need to extract a price from a package solution table that was current on a certain date.

Columns are:

Product_Reference int,
Change_Date int, -- Note that this is in yyyymmdd format
Price decimal

So for one items you would get

Product_ReferenceChange_DatePrice
100014200401281.59
100014200605131.75
100014200802121.99
100014200906252.35
100014201002242.50
100014201107151.10
100014201205151.15

The challenge is to return the price of the item on 20070906. In this example 1.75.

I've tried joining it to itself

SELECT DISTINCT p1.[Product_Reference]
,p1.[Change_Date]
,p1.[Price]
FROM PHistory p1
INNER JOIN PHistory p2
ON p1.Product_Reference = p2.Product_Reference
WHERE p1.Product_Reference = 100014
AND p1.Change_Date >= 20070906
and p2.Change_Date < 20070906

But it returns the price above and below that date.

Returning Random Records And NOT Similar (random Questions)

Jul 20, 2005

Hi,I need to extract randomly 5 records from the table "Questions". Now I useSELECT TOP 5 FROM Questions ORDERBY NEWID()And it works. The problem is that I need an additional thing: if SQLextracts record with ID=4, then it should not extract record with ID=9,because they are similar. I mean, I'd like something to tell SQL that if itextracts some questions, then it SHOULD NOT extract other ones.How can I do it?Thanks!Luke

Help!!!!to Generate Random Data....

Jul 8, 2007

Dear All,
I have some problems with the assignment from my professor.

Suppose there are two tables storing first names and last names, one table with column of first name and gender, the other with last name.

how to write stored procedures to get a random first name + random last name for Males or Female. like you got a list of all M & F first name and last name, then you try to match first name with any other last name (I believe this is random).

and the task is to write a script so each time when a female or male full name is need, it will return a random name for the requested gender.


I am totally struck and no idea how to deal with it, in fact I am just a beginning in SQL server, and I know there is a stored procedure to generate random number, however, I can't see the use of it here,,,,:eek:

Could anyone help me out ? thanks very much !!!:beer:

Sys.databases Random Missing Data

Nov 16, 2007

I wanted to check and see if anyone else has experienced an issue with querying sys.databases and not getting all the database rows returned?

I have a query that pulls back a list of databases so I can do backups on them. Randomly I will miss a row or two of databases. If I immediately (in code time) re-issue the same query, I'll get the missing databases. Oddly it seems a more prevalent problem on our Itanium servers, but all our 2005 servers seem to have the same symptom. Also odd, but the master database seems to be most likely to not be in the list (i.e. it happens the most frequently).

It's not a huge deal, but it's a pain to have to run the same query twice, compare the two lists and then double check that the adding or removing of a database should have happened.

Selecting A Single Data Source From Multiple Data Sources

Aug 4, 2006

Hi,

I am pretty new to SSIS. I am trying to create a package which can accept data in any of several formats. i.e. CSV, Excel, a SQL Server database/table and import the data into my destination database.

So far i've managed to get this working OK. However I am now TOTALLY stuck. I'm currently trying to just concentrate on the data sources being a CSV (using a Flat File Data Source) and/or an Excel Spreadsheet.

I can get the data in and to my destination using a UNION ALL component and mapping the data sources to it so long as both the CSV file and the Excel spreadsheet exist.

My problem is that I need my package to handle the possibility that only the CSV file might exist and there is no Excel spreadsheet. In which case i'd like the package to ignore the Excel datasource completely. Currently either of my data sources do not exist I get errors and the package terminates.

Is there any way in SSIS that I can check all my data sources to see which ones exist (i.e. are valid). If they exist I want to use them. If it doesn't exist i'd like to disgard it (without error - as long as there is a single datasource the package should run)

I've tried using the AcquireConnection method in a script task on each of my connections, hoping that it would error if the file/datasource did not exist. It doesn't though (in the case of an Excel datasource it just creates a empty excel file for me).

The only other option I can come up with are to have seperate packages depending on the type of data we want to import and then run a particular package depending on the format of the source data. This seems a bit long winded. I am pretty sure I must be able to do what I want to achieve but I can't work out how.

I'll be grateful to anyone who can send me any tips/hints/links on how I can achieve this.

Many thanks

Rob Gibson

Data Access :: Selecting Data Without Making Any Lock

Oct 26, 2015

I have a scenarios where if I execute select * from tbl it should display the all the records without waiting to release any lock.  For example suppose I have one table called tbl and one session is updating one records and not committed yet and in other session if i execute select * from table I can see all the records, for that records it can show me older version. but my select statement should not wait to commit another session and also it should not show the modified data.

Integration Services :: Importing Text File Into Table - Random Data Order

Aug 3, 2015

I'm importing comma-delimited text files into a SQL table. The data imports in a seemingly random order. One time I import and the lines appear one way and the next time I import they import another way.

Is there a way to force the text files to import in the same order the data is found in the file?

Selecting The Most Recently Edited Item AND Selecting A Certain Type If Another Doesn't Exist

Sep 20, 2007

I've got a big problem that I'm trying to figure out:
I have an address table out-of-which I am trying to select mailing addresses for companies UNLESS a mailing address doesn't exist; then I want to select the physical addresses for that company. If I get multiple mailing or physical addresses returned I only want the most recently edited out of those.

I don't need this for an individual ID select, I need it applied to every record from the table.

My address table has some columns that look like:
[AddressID] [int]
[LocationID] [int]

[Type] [nvarchar](10)
[Address] [varchar](50)
[City] [varchar](50)
[State] [char](2)
[Zip] [varchar](5)
[AddDate] [datetime]
[EditDate] [datetime]

AddressID is a primary-key non-null column to the address table and the LocationID is a foreign key value from a seperate Companies table.
So there will be multiple addresses to one LocationID, but each address will have it's own AddressID.

How can I do this efficiently with perfomance in mind???

Thank you in advance for any and all replies...

Selecting Data Wheere Values Contain Something

Nov 17, 2007

Hi,I have a message system, where people insert their message to the database, and others pick up their messages by selecting messages that have their username as the reciever ID.I have just intoduced bulk message sending - sending to multiple users. This requires many usernames being entered into the recievername column, seperated by a comma.Is there a way to select messages if the column name contains their username, rather than is their username? Because there may be more than one name, I would like everyone that has their name in the column to be able to retrieve the message, even if they arent the only reciever..Please ask if more explanation is needed!Thanks,Jon

Selecting Data Using A Range Of Dates

Apr 30, 2006

For some reason this is just not "clicking" with me and the longer I stare at it the more I overcomplicate things and then I just confuse myself further...

Provided this relation showing where "pkey" and "skey" met on "ServiceDate":


Code:


skey pkey ServiceDate
--------------------------------------
123 1 11/12/2005
124 1 10/12/2005 *
123 2 10/02/2005
124 2 10/12/2005
124 2 11/12/2005
123 2 11/02/2005


I need to select out a list of distinct pkeys and skeys only when there was no meeting between the two in November 2005. In other words, this query would produce only one record - the starred record - when run against this sample table. This is because even though, for example, skey 124 / pkey 2 has an entry outside the desired range, it also has one inside the desired range. The same goes for the record outside our range for 123 and 2 - it also has a record inside our range.

At this point, I've come to the conclusion that I can first select all the distinct pkeys and skeys where the servicedate is not in 11/2005 then join it to a selection of distinct pkeys and skeys where the servicedate IS in the desired date range. Does that seem like the most straightforward way through this?

I don't get the impression that this is that complicated a problem, but it's one of those deals where I goofed up somewhere along the line, and now I think I'm really overthinking the problem, so I'd be much obliged if someone could give me a hearty slap to clear the ol' noggin.

Access Violation When Selecting Data

Dec 6, 2005

Hi,

I have suddenly developed a problem when trying to select from a table. Even a standard select * from generates a SQL Dump exception handler. The table is below:

CREATE TABLE [Stagetb_GIDeptGroup] (

Selecting Data Seperated By Commas

Jun 3, 2008

Have a column in my DB called _Venue, which has been populated with address information separated by commas, like this:

Address1,address2,address3,address4

The address has sometimes only a few lines, for example I may have just Address1 or just address1 and address2 filled etc.

I need to write a query that will individually select addressX, so I can pick and choose what part of the full address to use.

Can these be done?

Thanks in advance.
