Hi,I urgently need help with this. I am trying to implement custom paging with Sql 2000. However I have ran into a few problems.I really hope that someone would be able to help me out. I need to get this done by tomorrow!! (I know I screwed up big time, but I didn;t relize that built in paging fetches all the records, and the displays it page by page!!) 1) Currently the paging seems to be working. However the primary key always resets itself. For example, lets say I have 4 records ID 1,2,3,4When I delete ID 3, instead of displaying ID 1,2,4 it shows ID 1,2,3. Is there any way to solve this problem?2) The database that I am currently creating will have about 40,000 records, is it advisible for me to use your control (I hope so)?Thank you and do have a nice day.http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/ASPNETPagerControl.asp CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetPagedProducts11] ( @PageSize int, @CurrentPage int, @ItemCount int output ) AS Declare @UpperBand int, @LowerBand int
-- Get The Count Of The Rows That They Meet the Criteria SET @ItemCount = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM aduan)
-- Calculate the @LowerCount and @UpperCount SET @LowerBand = (@CurrentPage - 1) * @PageSize SET @UpperBand = (@CurrentPage * @PageSize) + 1
-- INSERT ALL THE Rows that meets the Criteria INSERT INTO #AllRows SELECT ad_nama,ad_tarikh, ad_status,ad_title FROM aduan
-- AND finally select and return desired -Paged- Rows SELECT ad_id, ad_nama, ad_tarikh, ad_status,ad_title FROM #AllRows WHERE ad_id > @LowerBand AND ad_id < @UpperBand
hi Friends... I have got a ordermaster table in which the orderid field is autoincremental.Now I also have an Ordercode field which is a combination of [current (orderid)-LICON)] eg 1-LICON .. I achieve this using the following query ... insert into ordermaster(ordercode,orderamt,orderdate) select cast(max(orderid)+1 as varchar)+'-LICON' as ordercode,1000,'3/6/2004' from ordermaster
But I think the above query could lead to an inconsistent state ....If say following occurs :
1) USER1 reads max orderid as 1 2) User2 also reads max orderid as 1 3)USER 1 inserts record with ordercode as 2-LICON. 4)USER 2 will also insert record for ordercode as 2-LICON since max orderid read by USER2 is also the same as USER1.
How do I avoid this....I know I there are LOcktypes. But aren't locktypes used when we are updating same records....
Please help me out .I really need help in ths context
i think i have serious problem. i have almost 20,000 rows with the following conflict on a table (generated by merge replication over a period of around 3 weeks) :
'The row was updated at 'SubscriberServer3.DatabaseA' but could not be updated 'at 'PublicationServer1.DatabaseA'. Metadata mismatch'
i have 20 remote subscribers & 1 publisher. The above message originates from practically everywhere.
Besides dropping(not practical at the moment) & recreating replication to get rid of them, what else can i do to resolve this problem?? Do i have to resolve this problem row by row?? i'm at my wit's end. Please help!!

Hi.I'm a casual sql user. I have found a situation where I need to convert anoracle statement to tsql, one I can just fire off in any sql tool against anms sql server database.I studied the exists statement and I think I understand it somewhat, however Iwas not sure how to get it quite right. If you have an idea and a minute ortwo I'd appreciate any insight or tutorial.insert into authorization (program, optiontitle, usergroup, authorizationid)select 'EVERYWHERE','NAVIGATOR',usergroup, authorizationseq.nextvalfrom allgroups where exists (select * from authorizationwhere authorization.USERGROUP = allgroups.USERGROUP andauthorization.optiontitle = 'READ' and authorization.program = 'EVERYWHERE')I believe that because in my data, three values of usergroup from allgroupsreturn true from the exists, that this is supposed to insert three rows intoauthorization.But I can't figure out what to do about the authorization.nextval.. I triedvarious max(authorization)+1etc but nothing seemed to compile/workthanksJeff Kish
All,Oracle 9i provides a "USING" clause option for inner joins, thatallows me to say:SELECT * FROM TBL1 JOIN TBL2 USING KeyColumnassuming KeyColumn is in both TBL1 and TBL2. This is HIGHLY desirablefor our software make use of, but we also support SQL Server. Thereis no USING option available, andSELECT * FROM TBL1 JOIN TBL2 ON TBL1.KeyColumn = TBL2.KeyColumncauses an ambiguous column error on KeyColumn.Is there any equivalent to this Oracle functionality on SQL Server?KingGreg
Is there an equivalent to Oracle's ROWNUM in SQL Server. ROWNUM, when added to a select statement as a column - the query would return an automatic counter, numbering each row returned.
I have a SQL Server database which has one user (UserA) which owns some tables. I've added an additional user (UserB) to the database such that it has access to the tables owned by UserA. What is happening is that when I log on as UserB I have to fully qualify table names and fields in my SQL statements when I deal with tables owned by UserA. Is there a way make the tables accessible without specifying the owner? In Oracle you could create a public synonym for the table eg. <table_name>. Wherever that synonym is referenced the DBMS would know thats its refering to UserA.<table_name>. Is such functionality available in SQL Server? Thanks.
I know I can limit the output rows in SQL Server by using TOP n. But I also want to generate a sequence no. The identity property of SQL Server will not be usefull here because my actaul WHERE clause will be more complex like WHERE resigndate = '01-jan-2004'
Hello,I would like to know if the equivalent Oracle rownum exist inSQLServer. Here is a sample SQL code to explain what I want to do :selectjobs.name,jobs.job_id,jobs.description,hist.message,hist.step_name,hist.step_id,hist.run_status,hist.run_date,hist.run_time,hist.run_durationfrommsdb.dbo.sysjobs jobs,msdb.dbo.sysjobhistory histwherejobs.job_id=hist.job_idand hist.job_id='E71CCB97-81C3-46E2-83FA-BFFCB66B47F8'order byrun_date, run_timeI just want the first or second row returned by this query. In Oracle Ican simply add rownum=1 or rownum=2 in the where clause to obtain thedesired answer. I don't know how to do in SQLServer.Thank in advance,Pierig.
I am having trouble creating an INSTEAD OF trigger in SQL Server toreplicate a BEFORE UPDATE trigger from ORACLE.Here is a sample of the ORACLE BEFORE UPDATE trigger:CREATE TRIGGER myTRIGGER ON MYTABLEbegin:new.DT := SYSDATE;if :new.NM is NULL then:new.NM := USER;end if;end myTRIGGER;It seems as though I have to jump through hoops in SQL Server AND Icannot come up with correct results.Here is a snippet from SQL SERVER (this is what I figured I needed todo after reading various articles,questions):CREATE TRIGGER myTRIGGER on THETABLEINSTEAD OF UPDATEASSELECT * INTO #MYTABLE FROM INSERTEDUPDATE #MYTABLE SET DT = GETDATE()UPDATE #MYTABLE SET NM = USER WHERE NM IS NULLUPDATE THETABLESETDT = (SELECT DT FROM #MYTABLE),NM = (SELECT NM FROM #MYTABLE)WHERE THETABLE.ID = (SELECT ID FROM #MYTABLE)Can anyone please shed some light on this? Thanks in advance.
I know you can start SQLCMD with the -e option to have the SQL code echoed in the output when running. Is there a way to turn this on or off within a script file? Example: File1.sql = select 'hi' as HI go File2.sql = select 'by' as BY_ go
Runfile.sql = set (like echo on, -e sign on parm) ? what command :r File1.sql set (like echo off, -e sign on parm not used) ? what command :r File2.sql
want to get output like select 'hi' as HI (echoed the select statement) HI -- hi (1 rows affected) BY_ ( did not echo the select statment) --- by
I am currently migrating my database from oracle to MSSQL. My problem is that i have encountered the UTL_FILE function in Oracle and i am not finding its equivalent for MSSQL.
Can anyone help me with this plz? Is there any other way of reading and writting OS files in MSSQL?
string2 is the substring to search for in string1.
start_position is the position in string1 where the search will start. This argument is optional. If omitted, it defaults to 1. The first position in the string is 1. If the start_position is negative, the function counts back start_position number of characters from the end of string1 and then searches towards the beginning of string1.
nth_appearance is the nth appearance of string2. This is optional. If omiited, it defaults to 1.
In SQL Server, we are having CHARINDEX and PATINDEX functions. But they will not accept the fourth paremeter (nth_appearance)
I want to know the equivalent of the Oracle translate function in SQL Server.
eg : select translate('entertain', 'et', 'ab') from dual.
I tried the SQL Server Replace function , but it replaces only one character or a sequence of character and not each occurrence of each of the specified characters given in the second argument i.e 'et'.
Please let me know if there is some other equivalent function in SQL Server
