I hope someone can answer this, I'm not even sure where to start looking for documentation on this. The SQL query I'm referencing is included at the bottom of this post.
I have a query with 3 select statements joined together like tables. It works great, except for the fact that I need to declare a variable and make it a table within two of those 3. The example is below. You'll see that I have three select statements made into tables A, B, and C, and that table A has a variable @years, which is a table.
This works when I just run table A by itself, but when I execute the entire query, I get an error about the "declare" keyword, and then some other errors near the word "as" and the ")" character. These are some of those errors that I find pretty meaningless that just mean I've really thrown something off.
So, am I not allowed to declare a variable within these SELECT tables that I'm creating and joining?
Thanks in advance, Andy

If you are familiar with Crystal reports or Visual basic, you may be familiar with the Rate and Pmt functions.
I need to duplicate them in SQL sever 7.
Anybody have code for this already? I hate re-inventing the wheel.
More (Unnecesary) details: I have a client who has handed me the formula that I need to use for calculating Interest rates. Unfortunatly, the formula was written in Crystal reports, so now I need to pick it apart and do the work that CR does automaticly. Any help?
I am looking for information that tells me how fast a db is growing in MB and or percentages over a given period of time, ie weekly, monthly, yearly etc. Either in real numbers or estimates. Does 7.0 already store something like this or do I need to create some code for this?
Or does someone have something like this already coded that they would be willing to share?
Hi, I want to store tax rate in my tables. I set the data type to float, I wan't 4 decimal places and the data in the table has 4 decimals, but when I run a query in query analyzer it returns: 4.4999999999999998E-2 instead of 0.045. How can I fix this?
I have installed a SQL Server diagnose tool for evaluation. It prompts and warns me that "Procedure Cache hit rate is for example 15%. Its help indicates:
The Procedure Cache Hit Rate alarm is raised when the ratio between the number of times SQL Server looks for a plan in the procedure cache and the number of times it does not find a required plan in the procedure cache falls below a threshold.
A low procedure cache hit rate indicates that SQL Server is finding fewer of the query execution plans it needs already in memory and therefore has to perform more compiles. These extra compilations will degrade SQL Server performance by causing extra CPU load.
I've got a statistics table that I've been writing to for about 2 years now. Every saturday night, a size (in MB) snapshot of each DB file is taken and dumped into this table. I'm then emailed a copy for that week.
Now, I'm trying to figure out what the fastest growers are. Here's the table ddl
What I'm trying to figure out is how to query the average monthly and yearly growth percentages per DB on the MDFSize column.
I'm usually pretty good at this sort of thing, but I just can't seem to wrap my head around how to solve this issue. I'm not having a very good math day.
I need to pickup a tax rate, that is stored on a 1 record file. I would like to avoid using the CROSS JOIN. Is there a way to SELECT the record and set a Variable = to the tax rate so I can pickup the rate in another SELECT statement on each record?
We are having problems with our SQL server 2000. The problem is that on a daily basis we run out of disk space and I always have to run shrinkdatabase on tempdb. Today we started with 160GB of free space and by the end of the day it was gone!
Yes we do have many jobs running on our SQL server pulling data in from many sources. But I dont know how to find out which job is causing this problem. I have a suspicion that it could be a job that runs hourly that pulls data from Oracle (approximately 10000 rows each time), but that job has been active since the 28th August 2007. We only started running out of space in the past 5 days. Any suggestions would be appreciated as to what is causing this or how to diagnose the problem.
I have a 32 bit SQL 2005 EE clustered installation with 10GB of physical memory and AWE enabled. Our monitoring tool, Spotlight, is reporting the Procedure Cache to be 384MB and a Hit Rate of 75% on a fairly regular basis. Sometimes the Procedure Cache increases to 495MB and a Hit Rate of 82%.
(1) With 2005 can the Procedure Cache be increased?
(2) What is the max size of Procedure Cache?
(3) How do I increase the Hit Rate to a higher percentage?
I do not encounter the issue on any other SQL Server installation, however this is our only cluster.
DBCC PROCCACHE num proc buffs = 64889 num proc buffs used = 1135 num proc buffs = 1135 active proc cache size = 2896 proc cache used = 364 proc cache active = 364
Hi, all here, I found that in my case when I trained the data mining models, the model cover rate is very low (in my case, the train data set has 82 rows but the case occuring in the models I trained is only 25). How can I improve the cover rate to improve the quality of the models? (if it is possible in SQL Server 2005) I am using SQL Server 2005.
We have Asynchronous Database Mirroring on SQL Server 2005 SP2 Entprise Edition/Windows 2000 Advanced Server. We noticed that log sent rate is quite low (average 1.3 MB/sec) in most of the cases whereas "Log bytes flushed/sec" is high (1.4 MB/sec) as a result Log send queue keeps on increasing and finally taking all the transaction log space. Our disk queue length is always in range of 0.01. And prinicipal and mirror servers are on local LAN.
I tried on low end server and high end server and in both cases Log sent rate is approx 1.3 MB/sec (Maximum 4 MB/sec).
Is there any limitation on Log sent rate?
How can we improve on log sent rate? Since both servers are on local LAN, network bandwith does not seems to be an issue.
I have a procedure that requires picking up the Rate based on Effective Date. This is what I have so far:
SELECT SHPD.ProductID, SHPD.ReceivedDate, SHPD.Shipper, SHIP.UnitRate FROM tblShipmentDet SHPD LEFT OUTER JOIN tblShippers ON SHIP.ProductID = SHPD.ProductID AND SHIP.Shipper = SHPD.Shipper AND Max???(SHIP.Effectivedate) <= SHPD.ReceivedDate
Because there can be more than 1 Shipper record, I would somehow need to pickup the Maximum EffectiveDate in each case. I realize I cannot use the Max aggregate in the JOIN. Not sure where to go from here. On the Mainframe I used a LOOKUP function that would return the correct EffectiveDate. Help would be appreciated.
sorry if this is a dumb question. i've tried several searches here and on the net, but no joy.
i'm comfortable with my Access/mySQL/innodb setup, but now i have a one-off project to move a back-end database to an existing MSSQL machine. i have not touched MSSQL life-to-date.
admin will set up my instance, and then what? how do i get to create my tables and relationships etc... i hope it's not a bunch of CREATE TABLE command lines!
for mySQL i use dbdesigner-4 which is a joy! is there some equivalent GUI for MSSQL table design? ...where?
my prototype tables are currently in Access but they will certainly need modification for MSSQL use.

I am only DBA in my company and client want to know the growth rate of his SQL server DataBase which is in production. How can I get the growth rate per day?
My ASP.Net app is multilingual and all my translations are stored in seperate MSDE tables, for example, tblEN for English, tblES for Spanish and tblTH for Thai.
When I send the installation files to my clients, I get them to double click on 4 MS DOS batch files that use OSQL to run 4 scripts.....
1. DataBase&Tables.sql - creates the database and tables 2. Logins&Users.sql 3. StoredProcedures.sql 4. Permissions.sql
This worked great before my language table came along to spoil the party and I now need some way of getting the data stored in the language on my server into the table on the client.
If I export the data to a text file and then send it out with the rest of the installation files - what are my options for transferring the data into the table ?
Hi all, What I'm trying to do and having a lot of trouble with is pulling how one user is related to another user from my database. I'll explain...
I set up a table called relationships that looks like this:
ID type: int
RELID1 type: int, is the user id that initiated the relationship request.
RELID2 type: int, is the user id of the second person in the relationship.
Story type: varchar(255), quick blerb on how they are related.
Type type: int, a number 1-20 based on the relationship they have
Status type: int, 1 = confirmed by second person, 0 = not confirmed
What i'd like to have pulled is a list of the people that person (for example: 70) is related to. I am having the two following problems: 1. unqid of "70" could be in RELID1 or RELID2 as they could have initiated the request or been the second person. 2. I don't want to display them selves in their own relationship listing
Example Data: ID 1 2 3 4
RELID1 25 15 70 12
RELID2 54 70 13 8
Story Met on the east coast Met at walmart Met walking Met outside
Type 14 11 3 8
Status 1 1 1 1
Example Output: Again assuming the current user is "70", the sql should pull: 15, 13.. but i'd like to pull their names from another table called "Users" where "15" and "13" are the UnqID's in a column called "ID". So: 15 = Bob Smith 13 = Jane Doe
The following code works great that I got with the help on another form:
SELECT Relationship.RELID1 , Relationship.RELID2 , ReMembers.FirstName , ReMembers.LastName FROM Relationship INNER JOIN ReMembers ON ReMembers.AccountID = Relationship.RELID1 WHERE Relationship.RELID2 = 70 UNION ALL SELECT Relationship.RELID1 , Relationship.RELID2 , ReMembers.FirstName , ReMembers.LastName FROM Relationship INNER JOIN ReMembers ON ReMembers.AccountID = Relationship.RELID2 WHERE Relationship.RELID2 = 70
My question is: What is the best way to set this table up? I'm not committed to any any design as of right now, but want to be sure I set it up in the most efficient manner.
I am fairly new to SQL Server 2005 and before now, I have only had to restore databases, and connect to tables via ODBC connection in a reference (read only) setup. Today, I have a very small project to set up using the server.
I have a userlogon.csv file that the network stores on a file server in a hidden share logon$. It has 4 columns, UserID, Computer, Date, Time.
I was able to create a database called UserLogon and import the file as it was today. I want to create a scheduled update so the server would go to this file perhaps 4 times a day (or more) and grab any new logins that have appended itself to this CSV file.
So, as a newbie with a 1,900 page SQL Server 2005 unleashed manual at my side, could someone outline what the steps are in general I should follow to set this up?
I have the process laid out in my mind, but I don't know how to translate in into a scheduled task of the SQL Server :
1. Create DB and import the table (done) 2. create a stored procedure that connects to the CSV file and evaluates date and time stamps then appends any new records into the SQL db table. (appending records would be achieved by using the INSERT and WHERE statements?) 3. Schedule a job to perform this task on a routine basis.
It appears that the file connection portion of this set up is defined outside the evaluation and append record procedure? (not in the same stored procedure). Perhaps I tie the whole process together using the Job Manager, selecting the file settings, and then the stored procedure to be performed on the file.?
I hope I have been descriptive enough to ask if someone could outline the modules/features/processes involved so I can read up on them and figure them out using the book.
When sizing products we use predefined size groups that the users can choose any or all of the sizes from. For example if i size group consisted of sizes (6,8,10) they could use all sizes (6,8,10) or just (6,8) or just (10) if required. Similarly, if a group consisted of (S,M,L,XL) they could choose to only buy (S,L). They cannot choose across groups, so would not be able to choose (6,S)
Once the required sizing is determined they then assign size mixes to the sizes to denote how much of the buy will be in that size. So for example if we had 3 sizes: (6,8,10) and they had the associated mixes (25%,25%,50%) that would mean we would buy 25% of size 6 and 50% of size 10. All size mixes must add up to 100% in total.
The users do analysis to determine what sizes they wish to buy and how much of it.
We also have a franchise portion of the business that have some predefined size mixes. They use the same base size groups as above, but the rule is that they can only use sizes that the particular product is being bought in.
So if the assigned franchise mix is S (50%), M (50%) and the main mix was S (100%) then the franchise mix would only be able to then have the S size.
We would then eliminate the sizes from the franchise mix and then to ensure that the franchise mix still adds to 100 we would then pro-rate up the franchise mix to give a new mix. To do this I divide one by the total the remaining size mixes to get a ratio and then multiple the mixes by this factor.
In the case above not be able to use the M size and would only use the S.This would be
-Total of remaining mixes, in this case only size S for simplicity 1 / 0.5 = 2
-multiple original mix by this factor 0.5 * 2 = 1
size S would now be 100% instead of 50%
The issue I'm having is that on occasion some of the totals are adding up to 100.01% because another one of the requirements is that it needs to be 4 decimal places (0.1015 would represent 10.15% in excel)
Here is a shortened version of the code with some test data:
