I am wanting to get the job name based on sys.sysProcesses.[Program_name] column. Why is this query not returning any results even though the 2nd substringed guids are found the the sysJobs table?
SELECTCASE WHEN RTRIM([program_name]) LIKE 'SQLAgent - TSQL JobStep (Job %' THEN J.Name ELSE RTRIM([program_name]) END ProgramName , Val1.UqID , Val1.UqIDStr
I am trying to insert a unique code, like a voucher code, into a table in MSSQL, 10 numbers (0-9) which obviously needs to be unique.
I can code this in ASP, but I think the process could be a bit long winded, i.e. create a key - run a stored procedure to see if it is free if not loop and check again. Surely there would be a way to do this in a stored procedure in one?
So the code would look like 3928492834.
1. Generate Key in SQL 2. Check if not used in column 'kcode' if it is, regenerate and check again.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I know how to do this in ASP but bit of a SQL newbie!
Is there any way to auto generate the unique primary key when inserting data in MS SQL? there is a way to create the increasing integer as primary key, but is there any ways other than that?
I'm working on a final project for school. It is a warehouse application. For this application I will need to generate a barcode. I have read some articles online and found out that I could use the code 39 barcode font.
I just don't fully understand how to generate the unique barcode. Could someone please help me? I also would like to store the barcodes in a sql server table. Could I use reports to print the barcode?
I need to generate a random 10 digit alphanumeric string that is also unique within a table. My application will be calling a stored procedure to insert this number into the table. This number will be associated with a id from another table. Is it better to generate the random number within sql (and perform the lookup at the same time), then just pass the number back to the calling application ?
If the calling application generates the number, it will also need to make a call to check if its unique. So im thinking it would be best to simply have sql generate this random number, check the number against the table and then insert the new record.
I have a question about adding a unique key column to an existing table.
what i trying to do is that: I have already created a table, now i wanna add a ID column to this table, and generate the values for ID column from 1 to the existing row number. How can I get this done?
Requirements • ALPHANUMERIC FORMAT – > AA00AA00………..ZZ99ZZ99 Last 8 bytes will alternate between 2 byte alpha/2 byte numeric • Generate from Alphabets – A through Z Numbers -0 to 9 • Generate Unique Sequence (No Duplicates). • Must Eliminate letters I and O
Output Expected • AA00AA00………..ZZ99ZZ99 • Using 24 alphabets & 10 digits , 24*24*10*10*24*24 = 3 317 760 000 records
Below is my Sql Function -

I have a web page where the user can select the language (FR, EN, BG, ...) in a drop down list.
Next to the drop down list there is a text box where user can type the some text (translation).
User can add several description
On my web page, i have a button this button collect all information create an xml file and save all in database (sql server 2008)
that's work fine for some language => FR, EN and so on
But for bulgarian (bulgare) and greece there are some problem...
Some characters when i display it in sql look like => ???s??. ? d??ta?? a?t?
The value encoded by the user is => Ένωσης. Η διάταξη αυτή
but the result after t sql xpath is => ???s??. ? d??ta?? a?t?
Here is it my sql code where you can find my temporary table and my xml file and my xpath query
declare @tblTranslation table (idDocID int, languageID varchar(10), value varchar(500)) declare @Translations XML
set @Translations = '<?xml version="1.0" ?><Items><Item><eleKey>EN</eleKey><eleValue>This is a test</eleValue></Item><Item><eleKey>FR</eleKey><eleValue>test</eleValue></Item><Item><eleKey>BG</eleKey><eleValue>Ένωσης. Η διάταξη αυτή</eleValue></Item><Item><eleKey>HR</eleKey><eleValue></eleValue></Item><Item><eleKey>RO</eleKey><eleValue></eleValue></Item></Items>'
-- 2) fill the temporary table with information from the xml file
INSERT INTO @tblTranslation(idDocID, languageID, value) SELECT 1 , Convert(nvarchar(max), i.query('eleKey/text()')) as colKey , Convert(nvarchar(max), i.query('eleValue/text()')) as colValue -- FROM @translations.nodes('/Items/Item') as x(i) SELECT * FROM @tblTranslation
I'm trying to generate an update statement based off select statement results. A very basic example,
SELECT ListID FROM DListing WHERE Status = 2Results return 3 rows. 1234 2345 3456
How can I take those results and turn them into WHERE criteria for UPDATE statement?
Generated UPDATE statement should look like this.
UPDATE DListing SET Status = 1 WHERE ListID IN (1234,2345,3456)
I have started by creating a temp table to hold my SELECT results, but I don't know how to get those results into format for IN condition. Right now I get 3 UPDATE statements with 1 ListID in each IN condition.
CREATE TABLE #TempStatusUpdate(ListID INT) INSERT INTO #TempStatusUpdate SELECT ListID FROM DListing WHERE Status = 2 SELECT 'UPDATE DListing SET Status = 1 WHERE ListID IN (' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(30),ListID) + ') AND Status = 2' DROP TABLE #TempStatusUpdate
I'm trying to do a simple insert into a table, something like this:
insert into sometable (ID, somecolumn) select 'Task-ID', somevalue from SomeOtherTable where something = 'someothervalue' (or something to that effect)
So, the SELECT would generate something that looks like this:
What I don't know is, how do I programatically generate the number sequence? Note: I do not have admin rights to the table, i.e. I cannot just change a column to IDENTITY.
Also the 'Task-ID' must remain part of the ID; in other words, I can't just generate a GUID, and it needs to be easily identifiable.
What I'm hoping to do is rewrite my SQL like this:
insert into sometable (ID, somecolumn) select 'Task-ID.' + (generated seq #), somevalue from SomeOtherTable where something = 'someothervalue'
I have been trying to the query optimizer to generate a parallel execution plan but no matter the MaxDOP (0) or Cost Threshold (5) settings I use it will only execute in serial.
UPDATE [dbo].[Targus_201412_V7_B] SET [URBAN] =( CASE WHEN [METRO_STATUS] = 'Urban' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
I have three sprocs and three tables. I was told to use a clustered index in the first table and a unique clustered index on the second table. I never asked about the third table and the person I need to ask is on vacation. Most of the contents of the first table will be joined with all of the contents of the second table into the third table. Do I need to have a unique clustered index on the third table too?
The clustered index in the first sproc is on a unique key that I had created using by concatenating several columns together.
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX IX_UNIQUE_KEY ON MRP.Margin_Optimization_Data (UNIQUE_KEY); CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IX_DATE ON MRP.Margin_Optimization_Data (PERIOD); CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IX_ODS_ID ON MRP.Margin_Optimization_Data (GL_SEG1_COMPANY_ODS_ID, GL_SEG2_PROFIT_CTR_ODS_ID, GL_SEG3_LOB_ODS_ID, GL_SEG4_PRODUCT_DEPT_ODS_ID, GL_SEG5_ACCOUNT_ODS_ID);
The second sproc with the unique clustered index is on the unique key from the first table and a date attribute.
CREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX IX_UNIQUE_KEY ON MRP.[MGN_OPT_KPI_SOURCE] (UNIQUE_KEY, PERIOD);
In the third sproc, I'll have a nonclusted index on the ODS_ID attributes, but I'm unsure of how to go about the clustered index situation.
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IX_ODS_ID ON MRP.MGN_OPT_KPI_VALUES (GL_SEG1_COMPANY_ODS_ID, GL_SEG2_PROFIT_CTR_ODS_ID, GL_SEG3_LOB_ODS_ID, GL_SEG4_PRODUCT_DEPT_ODS_ID, GL_SEG5_ACCOUNT_ODS_ID);
We have a table that has customers invoices and payment records. In some cases a customer has 10 lines with 10 different invoice numbers but may have paid 2 or more invoices with one check. I need to know how many unique payments were made per customer.
I have an Orders table which has the following fields:
OrderID (PK, int, auto increment, not null) CustomerID (FK, int, null) PaymentDate (datetime, null) UserID (uniqueidentifier)
(and other irrelevant fields)
Basically, for a specific PaymentDate range (29th July 2014 - 26th August 2014, inclusive) I want to select all orders where they only appear once in the orders table based on the CustomerID, so I only want to know about them if they have a paid order (decided by PaymentDate not being null) in that date range, but also taking into account if they have ever had a paid order outside of that date range. I'll also be joining on to the aspnet_Users table to get the username assigned to that order.
I am looking to create a script that will go through a table a pick out the necessary columns to create a unique record. Some of the tables that I am working with have 200 plus columns and I am not sure if I would have to list every column name in the script or if they could be dynamically referenced. I am working with a SQL server that has little next to no documentation and everytime I type to mere some tables, I get too many rows back.
I would like to generate a working schedule for employees for x-days ahead based on a starting date that the user can enter.
I have got 3 relevant tables:
1. Table X with (1) resourcenumber, (2) starting date working schedule and (3) the daynumber representing the starting date (this is ISO so 1 for Monday, 2 for Tuesday etc.)
2. Table Y has the schedule itself and can hold a 7-days schedule or a 14-days schedule. In case of 7 days schedule there a 14 (!) records with (1) resourcenumber, (2) daynumber, (3) starting hour a.m. (4) ending hour a.m (5) starting hour p.m and (6) ending hour p.m. In case of a 14-days schedule there are 28 records (a.m. and p.m. records)
3. Table Z with resource data.
An example to clarify (for fake employee 100):
Table X: Resource: 100 Starting date: 2012-03-01 (from this date the schedule will be effective) Daynumber: 4 (2012-03-01 was a Thursday)
Table Y (Resource has a 14 days schedule because per 2 weeks Monday is an off-day):
Record 1 shows: Resource: 100, Daynumber: 1 (= Monday, working day), AM-Starting hour: 09:00, AM-Ending hour: 13:00, PM-starting hour: 13:30, PM-ending hour: 17:30 Record 2: same but daynumber is 2 Record 3: same but daynumber is 3 etc. ... Record 8 shows: Resource: 100, Daynumber: 8 (= Monday, off-day), AM-Starting hour: 00:00, AM-Ending hour: 00:00, PM-starting hour: 00:00, PM-ending hour: 00:00 Record 9: same as record 2 but daynumber is 9. etc. ... Record 14: same as record 7 but day is 14 (= last day)
The weekend days show as 00:00 for the hours (same as day 8 in example)
I generated the working schedule with a CROSS APPLY function based on the starting date and the x-number of days ahead.
I then evaluate the actual daynumber corresponding with that date with the daynumber in table Y. That works fine with a 7-days schedule but I can't get it fixed with a 14-days schedule. Day 8 in that schedule represents an actual day 1 but how do I know what actual date day 8 is ... I think I have to start with the starting date in table X ...
I think ideally I would like to have the generated days as follows (as an example in case of a 14-days schedule starting 2014-05-01 for 30 days ahead):
2014-05-01 = day 4 (= actual daynumber) 2014-05-02 = day 5 2014-05-03 = day 6 ... 2014-05-10 = day 13 2014-05-11 = day 14 2014-05-12 = day 1 2014-05-13 = day 2 2014-05-14 = day 3 ... 2014-05-24 = day 13 2014-05-25 = day 14 2014-05-26 = day 1 2014-05-27 = day 2 ... 2014-05-31 = day 6
With this done I can compare the actual daynumber with the daynumber in Table Y.
The rownumber that the CROSS APPLY function generates has to be reset to 1 after day 14. I tried PARTITION BY in THE ROW_NUMBER function but to no avail ... The only field I can partition by is the maximum value of the daynumber (14 is the example) but that is not allowed in the rownumber function.
it was simple to parse simple variables using replace functions. eg. REPLACE(@str, '@customer_name', @customer_name). It worked like mail merge.the converted string was then sent forward using a webservice.now my requirement is to add conditional values in body field e.g:
body = Document ID: @document_id Customer Name: @customer_name Item name: @item_name Quantity: @qty IF isnull(@rate, 0) > 0 Rate: @rate IF isnull(@rate, 0) > 0 Amount: @amount
how can i parse strings like this. I'm open to change format of values for body field.
ID varchar (contains alphanumeric values,not unique) Territory (combined with ID unique) Total_Used int can be null Date_ date (date of the import of the data) ID Territory Total_Used Date_ ACASC CAL071287 2014-06-01 ACASC CAL071287 2014-08-01 ACASC CAL071288 2014-09-01

DelimitedSplit8k and PatternSplitLoop seem to have potential, but I'm just plain stuck on some things:
1. DelimitedSplit8k: the delimiter split the folder paths, but the pattern can be within the strings that result. 2. PatternSplitLoop: I would have to cross apply 16 times and have an awful WHERE clause to determine which of the four strings matched first.
Unless I'm missing something. Short example is below.
WITH testctes (string, pattern) AS ( SELECT 'oh_look_at_this.thing.hishers_stuffmine.craftyours_protein', 'his first' UNION ALL SELECT 'i.am.a._thing.hershis_thingsmine.refrigeratoryours_potato', 'hers first' UNION ALL SELECT 'path_like.things_minehers.some_elsehis_garbageyours_sneakers', 'mine first' UNION ALL SELECT 'more_stuff.yoursminehershis_falafel', 'yours first' ) SELECT string, pattern, ca.item, ca.itemnumber FROM testctes CROSS APPLY [dbo].[PatternSplitLoop] (string, '%his%') ca
