Select/where Based On Date, Advice Needed

Jun 2, 2008

I'm very green with SQL so I could do with some advice please.

I need to pull some data from a table based on the year portion of a datetime field, so far I've got this...

USE MfgSys803

SELECT orderdate, ordernum FROM orderhed

WHERE ((SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(4),GETDATE(),111)) = (SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(4),ORDERDATE,111) FROM orderhed))

... the field 'orderdate' is the datetime. The purpose of the WHERE statement is to get the current year fromt he system and then compare this to the current year of the field 'orderdate'.

Unfortunately I get the error...

Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.

... the 'SELECT CONVERT' portions of the WHERE work fine on thier own but I can't use them together.

Hopefully this makes sense, thanks :)

Select Record Based On Max Date

Sep 12, 2012

I have the following table:

Occ_Num Feature_Num Trans_Date Peril_Desc
123 1 1-2-2012 Water
123 1 1-11-2012 Ice
123 2 1-2-2012 Other
123 2 1-13-2012 Other
123 2 1-19-2012 Wind

I want to select each Occ_Num, Feature_NUM, Trans_Date, and PERIL_Desc but with only the Peril that was part of the max trans_date.

So i would want the following from above:

Occ_Num Feature_Num Trans_Date Peril_Desc
123 1 1-11-2012 Ice
123 2 1-19-2012 Wind

I'm having trouble with the syntax need to accomplish this.

Jun 1, 2007

Hi everyone,
My hoster hosts asp.net but does not yet support sql 2005 only sql 2000 and access I want to use either of the starter kits. I am confused on what is needed to make the changes to make either sql 2000 or access work. I know enough that the connection strings will need to change my concern is code. Is there strings that I will need to find and change in the application. I sure would appreciate any and all advice. Thank you for your help.

Advice Needed

Jul 14, 2006

I€™d appreciate an advice about the following data mining scenario. A bank institution has customers and keeps tracks of the customer demographics data (e.g. income, age, etc). A customer could have purchased one or more products (checking, savings, CD, and other accounts). My task is to predict the likelihood for a customer to purchase a new product. For example, if the custom has checking and savings accounts, what€™s the likelihood for the customer to purchase a CD account so we can offer this product do the customer.

My questions:

What data mining task (segmentation, classification, etc) does this requirement represent?
What algorithm(s) is best suited for this task?
For a given customer, will I be able to predict the buy probability for all products or do I need to query the mining model to predict one product at the time?

SELECT From DateTime Field Based On Current Date

Feb 5, 2008

I am trying to match records that are >= the current date. I have tried using:
SELECT DISTINCT name
FROM table
WHERE datefield >= DATEPART(month, GETDATE()) AND datefield >= DATEPART(day, GETDATE()) AND datefield >= DATEPART(year, GETDATE())
ORDER BY name
but this is not giving me the result that I am looking for. What is the best way to match a DateTime field type using the current date without the time?

Select Criteria Based On Date - Cleaner Way To Write?

Sep 7, 2005

Code:

SELECT (JUL_CURR_CREDITS + JUL_CURR_DEBITS +
AUG_CURR_CREDITS + AUG_CURR_DEBITS +
SEP_CURR_CREDITS + SEP_CURR_DEBITS +
OCT_CURR_CREDITS + OCT_CURR_DEBITS +
NOV_CURR_CREDITS + NOV_CURR_DEBITS +
DEC_CURR_CREDITS + DEC_CURR_DEBITS +
JAN_CURR_CREDITS + JAN_CURR_DEBITS +
FEB_CURR_CREDITS + FEB_CURR_DEBITS +
MAR_CURR_CREDITS + MAR_CURR_DEBITS +
APR_CURR_CREDITS + APR_CURR_DEBITS +
MAY_CURR_CREDITS + MAY_CURR_DEBITS +
JUN_CURR_CREDITS + JUN_CURR_DEBITS) as CURR_AMT



I need to sum these amounts running from July to the month prior to whatever the current month is. So if it was August, it would only be

Code:

SELECT (JUL_CURR_CREDITS + JUL_CURR_DEBITS) as CURR_AMT



Is there a cleaner (shorter) way to iterate through the twelve months than either writing the query 12 times in an IF statement, or 12 CASE statements? This is only part of a query that joins several tables (not shown).

Any suggestions on the best way to write this would be valued.

Select Rows Based On Multiple Date Conditions

Jun 5, 2008

Hi,
I have 1 table with 5 rows. One of the rows has dateTime values. I want to know how many rows there are with a value in that column < today AND how many rows there are with a value in that column > today.
I'm not sure how to do this.

SELECT Count(*) WHERE dateColumn <= today AND dateColumn > today gives me everything.
I like to end up with a column containing the count of rows <= today
and a column with rows where date > today.

Is this possible in SQL or do I have to retrieve all rows and then loop over the resultset and check each row?

Thanks,
Marc

Advice Needed: Where To Put ADO Code

Jan 5, 2007

I need some advice on a project that I am working on...
First, here is what I am trying to achieve:  A Web Form with two controls:  A DropDownList with two items added at design time (Fruits and Vegetables) and an empty ListBox.  When the user chooses a "category" from the DropDownList, the ListBox will be populated with a list of either "Fruits" or "Vegetables" retrieved from a SQL database.  (Note:  Since the data in the SQL database must be converted and formatted programatically, simply databinding the ListBox will not work here.)
I believe that I can do this with the following code (stolen from an MSDN article):'Create ADO.NET objects.
Private myConn As SqlConnection
Private myCmd As SqlCommand
Private myReader As SqlDataReader
Private results As String

'Create a Connection object.
myConn = New SqlConnection("Initial Catalog=Northwind;" & _
"Data Source=localhost;Integrated Security=SSPI;")

'Create a Command object.
myCmd = myConn.CreateCommand
myCmd.CommandText = "SELECT FirstName, LastName FROM Employees"

'Open the connection.
myConn.Open()

myReader = myCmd.ExecuteReader()

'Concatenate the query result into a string.
Do While myReader.Read()
results = results & myReader.GetString(0) & vbTab & _
myReader.GetString(1) & vbLf
Loop
'Display results.
MsgBox(results)

'Close the reader and the database connection.
myReader.Close()
myConn.Close()
  Now here is the part that I am not sure about:  Is the FormLoad event the best place to put this code?  If I do, is this not a lot of overhead (creating, opening and closing a connection) everytime there is a page refresh/PostBack?   Would I be better off putting this code in the DropDownList SelectedIndexChanged event?  Although that seems like it could make the process of selecting a category take a fairly long time.
Finally, if the is a better way of doing this, I am certainly open to suggestions.
All advice is greatly appreciated.

T-SQL Backup Advice Needed.

Jun 27, 2001

Our backups run using a stored proceedure called sp_fullbackup. This takes a dump of every database to a device each night. The only problem is that it overwrites the previous nights backup, due to the way it has been written:

DUMP DATABASE master TO @bkupdevice WITH NOUNLOAD , INIT , SKIP

How do I change the syntax so that it will retain the previous 3 backups?

Needed: Replication Advice

Nov 15, 1999

I could use some sound advice regarding replication. (Or a better avenue to take if available)

I have a production server and a *live* server.
90% of the updates are done on my production server. When needed I update the live server by completing overwriting everything with the data on the local machine. (This is because there has been numerous changes to the database design as well as the data but this should no longer be the case.)

Now updates are taking place on both servers meaning they should both be identical.

The problem I see is that something like a snapshot or merge replication could never be done. Since the same id's can be created on both machines I see no way that the software can tell them apart.

So is it best to update one server and then send the request to the other to update the same record (or insert/delete etc) or is it better to use something like DTS or transactional replication to accomplish the same task?

I dunno, kinda in the dark at present but any advice on the subject would be very helpful.

Thanks,

-John

Paging Advice Needed

Jul 20, 2005

Dear GroupA while ago I've asked how paging is possible and have read the articles onaspfaq.com. Great work, esp. the speed comparison of all the differenttechniques. Thank you to everyone who has responded to my post. SomewhowGoogle didn't let me reply to the thread!All of the methods described work perfectly fine until I'm trying toimplement a WHERE or ORDER BY DESC on a particular field. E.g. Create allpages but sort on a date field DESC doesn't start with the lowest date onthe first page and the highest date on the last page but all dates mixed up.As a workaround I'm at first using a cursor to populate a temporary tablee.g. SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE MyField1 = Condition ORDER BY MyField2which only contains the data I would like to use to create the pages. I'musing a cursor since I read that a normal SELECT to poulate the temporarytable doesn't always guarantee that rows are inserted in the correct order.Next I'm creating the individual pages with the Count and Page.Rank methodoff the temporary table.This method is not the best in performance and I'm sure there must beanotherway to perform paging with filtering and sorting. I'm grateful for any tippsyou have.Thanks for your time & efforts!Martin

Advice Needed On Best Way To Set Up SQL Server

Jan 10, 2008

Hi,

I'm hoping somebody can help me here as i'm struggling to find any information elsewhere on the net. We have recently purchased a new server, the rough specs are:

2 X Quad-Core Xeon E7320 2.13GHz 4Mb Cache
32Gb PC2-5300 DDR II RAM

We are planning to install the 64 Bit version of SQL Server 2005. We want to use the server for a number of purposes.


Building and weekly processing of 2 complex data marts (approx size is 1Tb each)

Processing and querying of 2 Analysis Services databases that will be built from these data marts. These will be queried by no more than about 15 users (no more than about 5 simultaneously).

Relational querying of the data marts themselves (same users as above)
My problem is that I am not sure of the best way to configure SQL Server. Should I use 2 separate instances? How should the processors/memory be shared between SQL Server/Analysis Services? My main priority is the performance of the OLAP querying. However, I also want the weekly processing and any ad-hoc SQL querys run against the marts to be efficient.


Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Kind Regards,

David.

Advice Needed On Best Practice

Nov 1, 2007



This message is similar to a previous post, but no one seems to have an answer to it so I thought I should try to solve my problem in another way.

I have to use a pass through query to access db2. I cannot get the four-part name to work.

I want to simplify things for the developers. I can't figure out how to make one stored procedure or view to handle all the columns the developers may need to filter by or return. Is the best practice to just make multiple views or stored procedures to in each database to handle each query needed?

Advice Needed For Connection To DB2

Apr 20, 2006

I am writing a report in RS and my query is supposed to pull transactional records from a certain date (yesterday).

The table I am querying contains roughly 1.5 million records. This is on an AS400 dB2 system. Mostly I use ODBC with no problems, however this query ran for about two hours and was still running before I killed it.

I am thinking of using SSIS to copy the records into SQL. If I go this approach (which should be much faster), is there a way to just copy over differential records each day?

Or does anybody have any other suggestions? What is Linking a Server?

Thanks for the information. I am using SQL 2005

SQL Server 2008 :: Query To Select Every 2 Rows Based On A Date?

Sep 6, 2015

I have a table like the following (with much more data, but the concept is the same) with Dates and Actions for People and a column called Action with beginning Dates and end dates.

(I attached a picture because I could not figure out how to Format it)

begin Date end Date Name

begin 2014-10-15 end 2014-10-31 phil
begin 2014-09-18 end 2014-09-30 phil
begin 2014-08-21 end 2014-08-23 John

I need the query to be like this. The idea is to have the query grab the next 'END' not all Ends, which my attempts have done i.e. I get not just the closest end to the begin date, but ALL Ends with the same Person.

I Need it to look like this:

begin Date end Date Name

begin 2014-10-15 end 2014-10-31 phil
begin 2014-09-18 end 2014-09-30 phil
begin 2014-08-21 end 2014-08-23 John

There can be different People so the query Needs to return the beginning and end rows for the Person in sequential order.I can't figure out how to select only the 'next' end. My query always gets 'end' values that have a 'begin'. I

Select Multiple Rows Based On Date Interval From Table

Apr 7, 2015

I have a table in which each record has a initial date and a final date. I would like to create I query that gives me one row for each month between the initial date and the final date. It would be something like this:

Original:

Product|price|initial_date|final_date
A|20.50|2014-08-10|2014-10-01
B|50|2015-01-15|2015-02-20

Resulting view:

A|20.5|2014-08-01
A|20.5|2014-09-01
A|20.5|2014-10-01
B|50|2015-01-01
B|50|2015-02-01

I would like to do that, because these dates correspond to the time in which the products are in possession of sellers, so I would to use this resulting query to generate a pivot chart in Excel to illustrate the value of the goods that are with our sellers in each month.

Is it possible to do it? I think I could do that direct in VBA, but I think that maybe it would be faster if I could do it directly in SQL.

By the way, I am using MS SQL Server and SQL Server Manegement Studio 2012.

Stored Procedure Advice Needed

Jul 20, 2007

How do most people handle database searches for things like a product database?  What I mean by that is your typical product table may look like:
ProductIDProductTitleProductDescriptionProductCategoryIDEtc...
Assuming you have a Full Text Catalog set up on the ProductDescription field, would you use Dynamic Sql or a Stored Procedure?
I'm wrestling with this because I haven't found a good way to either parse a parameter in SQL to make a stored procedure work with the same flexibility as Dynamic TSQL, and I would prefer not to have any direct access to the table from the application.
My other option (which to me isn't a great one) is to have a fairly large number of optional "keyword" parameters in the stored procedure and then parse them on the application side...this is less than favorable in that in theory someone could pass more keywords than I've allotted in my stored procedure.
 How would you approach this challenge?
Thanks in advance.

MSDE Troubleshooting Advice Needed!

Jun 27, 2004

I can't connect to any instance of MSDE on my laptop using my web app. I duplicate the whole process on another local machine and have no problems. I'm using DNN, but it's not a problem with a connection string.

Over the last week I've had to rebuild this laptop - reformating and all. I'm running win xp pro, vs'03. I've tried this on msde2000sp3a & msde2000rela. Everthing is fully patched, updated, and current.

I'm working on two pcs at the same time with identical environments, doing one step on one keyboard and then the other:
I take one set of fresh DNN files and install them on each pc.
create a new db, user with dbo rights.
create a new virtual directory in iis.
alter the dotnetnuke.sln, dotnetnuke.vbproj.webinfo to reflect the path to the local site.
alter the web.config file with the connection string.
browse to the website (this is how dnn launches, creating the db from scripts, etc.)

At this point my desktop pc works great and I've got a new instance of DNN.

My laptop does launch dnn, but it can't connect to the db and says there's a problem with the connection string - but the only difference in the strings is the instance name - which isn't spelled wrong!!!!

So I'm led to believe that there is something wrong with the setup on the laptop which was just rebuilt.

It's got .net 1.1, msde2000sp3a, winxppro sp1. I've uninstalled and reinstalled all the components I can think of.

What would you do??? I'm completely out of ideas on this.

Do I format the hd and start again? That would hurt, but I've tried everthing else I can think of.

Oh, here's the other rub. I can create a system dsn, test the connection - and it works! I know that point's toward dnn, but like I've said I believe I've ruled that out.

Thanks for any advice...

Best Practise - Advice Needed On SP/Triggers)

Aug 10, 2007

Hi, hoping I can get a few view on a question I have relating to the above.

I am new to Stored Procedures and Triggers and I am trying to understand 'best practice' a little better. Here is my question: If I have a table that stores information, and when any field in that table is updated (and changes) I would like to inactive the row, prior to change and then add the change by way of a new, active row. This way I can see what it was before and that it's inactive, and what the active value is.

Hope this makes sense, if this is the wrong way to manage change history any suggestions would be appreciated.

A second question I have is as follows: If I have a table that stores a number, based on that number, what would be the best way to create new records in a different table that pulls from the first table. Where the number stored in table 1 represents how many times the record is to be created in the second table.

Thanks. If anyone needs more data, please feel free to ask, I will help as best as I can and appreciate any advice & comments that you can give.

Needed: User, Login, Connection Advice.

Mar 12, 2005

HI,
I'm still on the steep side of the learning curve with ASP.NET. I've looked through a number of threads on this forum, and have gotten pieces of the answer, but need help getting past a roadblock.

I haven't been able to get a simple test application to connect to the Pubs database loaded on my system running MSDE. The only control in the application is a WebDataForm created by the Wizard. Everything works well (even the Preview Data form the Data menu loads and displays the correct data), except when the form is viewed in a browser. Click the load button and an error:Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE'.

Similar stories are common on this forum, and I tried to address the problem. I'm quite sure it's a autherization or authentication problem. I have Windows Server 2003 (with IIS 6.0), VS.NET 03 and MSDE as the SQL server on the same box. The MSDE server is using Windows Security mode. I Created a new user called ASPNET on the Windows Server. I added a login to the SQL Server 'WinServerNameASPNET' using windows auth. Still get the same login failed message.

Is there something I'm missing? Do I have to add a new user to IIS?

For the record, what users/settings do I need to have in Windows, SQL-Server and IIS, get past this login problem.

Thanks for answering this basic question - one more time.

The Fastest Way To Perform An Update ... Advice Needed :)

Nov 12, 2006

Hi all,

I have a situation where my Visual C# application presents a number of fields. In order to update a student object, I wish to call a stored proc. 1 or more fields can be updated... And If one is left null, then I don't want to update it, but instead I want to keep the old value.

I am really wondering if I am approaching this the right way. The following stored proc does what I want it to do, however I'm thinking there may be a faster way...

Here it is:

-- Update a student, by ID.

DROP PROCEDURE p_UpdateStudent

CREATE PROCEDURE p_UpdateStudent

@ID INT,

@NewFName VARCHAR(25),

@NewOName VARCHAR(25),

@NewLName VARCHAR(25),

@NewDOB DATETIME,

@NewENumber VARCHAR(10),

@NewContactAID INT,

@NewContactBID INT

AS

BEGIN

SET NOCOUNT ON;

-- DECLARE THE OLD VALUES

DECLARE @FName AS VARCHAR(25)

DECLARE @OName AS VARCHAR(25)

DECLARE @LName AS VARCHAR(25)

DECLARE @DOB AS DATETIME

DECLARE @ENumber AS VARCHAR(10)

DECLARE @ContactAID AS INT

DECLARE @ContactBID AS INT

-- Get all of the old values

SELECT @FName = FName FROM TBL_Student WHERE ID = 10000

SELECT @OName = OName FROM TBL_Student WHERE ID = 10000

SELECT @LName = LName FROM TBL_Student WHERE ID = 10000

SELECT @DOB = DOB FROM TBL_Student WHERE ID = 10000

SELECT @ENumber = ENumber FROM TBL_Student WHERE ID = 10000

SELECT @ContactAID = ContactAID FROM TBL_Student WHERE ID = 10000

SELECT @ContactBID = ContactBID FROM TBL_Student WHERE ID = 10000



-- USE ISNULL to set all of the new parameters to the provided values only if they are not null

-- Keep the old ones otherwise.

SET @NewFName = ISNULL(@NewFName, @FName)

SET @NewOName = ISNULL(@NewOName, @OName)

SET @NewLName = ISNULL(@NewLName, @LName)

SET @NewDOB = ISNULL(@NewDOB, @DOB)

SET @NewENumber = ISNULL(@NewENumber, @ENumber)

SET @NewContactAID = ISNULL(@NewContactAID, @ContactAID)

SET @NewContactBID = ISNULL(@NewContactBID, @ContactBID)

-- Do the update

UPDATE TBL_Student

SET FName = @NewFName,

OName = @NewOName,

LName = @NewLName,

DOB = @NewDOB,

ENumber = @NewENumber,

ContactAID = @NewContactAID,

ContactBID = @NewContactBID

WHERE

ID = @ID

END

GO

So yeah it works. But As you can see I wish to keep an old copy of the values to perform checks pre update....

Is there any faster way, or am I on the right track? I need a pro's advice :) (before i write all of my procs!!)

Thanks all.

DB Size Is 120Gb But Full Backup Is Only 70 GB Advice Needed

Apr 16, 2008



In my enrv. DBA just migrated SQL Server 2000 Databases from WINDOWS 2000 to WINDOWS 2003 Enterprise Edition and the same SQL version. The problem which i need to analyse

1. Why the full backup size is occupying only 70GB when DB size is 120GB?

Here is the situation

Full Backup is taken once every day ---- 70gb
Diff Backup Taken every 3 hrs till 5 PM ----- size is 50GB
Transaction log backed up every 10 min uptill 8 PM ----- not a big size

I am really confused as to why Full DB Backup is taking only 70GB.............Can some one please throw a Light on how the SQL Server 2000 Backup functions.

Advice Needed - Regarding Data Transfer Between Databases On Seperate Servers

Aug 29, 2007

Hello everyone,
Here's my situation...
I'm running a web service which involves 51 seperate servers and databases.
There are fifty licensee servers (One for each US state) and one corporate server.
Each night I need to upload sales and membership data from the licensee's databases to the corporate database to compile reports.
The application platform I'm using is ASP.NET 2.0 and the the database is SQL2005 express.
I want this process to be run automatically, so I believe it's a scheduled windows service I need to setup up in .NET to make the data transfers.
If anyone has already set something up like this, or knows the steps to take? I would love to have your input.
Thanks in advance,
Robert

General Advice Needed Regarding MS Access, MS SQL Server, MySQL/PostgreSQL

Nov 15, 2006

I am working on two versions of an application, one of which will be awindows forms application (which will need to be redistributable) andthe other will be a web application.I have MS Visual Studio 2005 (along with the developer's edition of MSSQL Server), but not MS Access. I also have MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sun'sapplication server, Tomcat and Apache web server. I am working onWindows XP Pro, and have installed the .NET 3 SDK and all relevantrelated products I could find (e.g. 2 extensions packages for VisualStudio).I have one MS Access database, to which my users should have read onlyaccess. I have, and have used, a tool for importing MS Accessdatabases into MySQL. I expect that SQL Server has a similar utilityhidden somewhere (where I haven't yet looked, though I HAVE beenlooking - obviously in the wrong places). I have located a similarutility for importing MS Access databases into PostgreSQL. I have notyet decided which servers to use for the web version, but that isanother story, for which I may raise another thread in due course (butI welcome suggestions which may reduce the effort required givenrequired effort for the windows forms app).My problem is for the windows form aplication (intended for use by asingle family). I expect to use ADO.NET. The question is, should Iimport the Access database into MS SQL, and redistribute it, along withMS SQL Server Express (or is that necessary), or distribute it just asan Access database and use the jet engine to access it. A relatedquestion is, "Does ADO.NET support creating new databases for a givenengine?" Imagine a recipe database. It is easy enough to create a SQLscript that creates all the required tables, indices, foreign keys,&c., but can I submit that SQL script to an ADO.NET object, along witha file name, and have it create, e.g., an Access database with thesupplied name. Or do I have to create a database file with nothing init other than the schema?I have more questions, but they'll have to wait.ThanksTed
