I have to get the number of datasets within several tables in my MSSQL
2000 SP4 database.
Beyond these tables is one table with about 13 million entries.
If I perform a "select count(*) from table" it takes about 1-2 min to
perform that task.
Since I know other databases like MySQL which take less than 1 sec for
the same task
I'm wondering whether I have a bug in my software or whether there are
other mechanisms to get the number of datasets for tables or the number
of datasets within the whole database.
OK heres the situation, I have a Categories table and a Products table, each Category can have one or many Products, but a product can only belong to one Category hence one-to-many relationship.
Now I want to do a SELECT query that outputs all of the Categories onto an ASP page, but also displays how many Products are in each category eg.
CatID | Name | Description | No. Products
0001 | Cars | Blah blah blah | 5
etc etc
At the moment I'm doing nesting in my application logic so that for each category that is displayed, another query is run that returns the number of products for that particular category. It works ok!
However, is there a way to write a SQL Statement that returns all the Categories AND number products from just the one SELECT statement, rather than with the method I'm using outlined above? The reason I'm asking is that I want to be able to order by the number of products for each category and my method doesn't allow me to do this.
I am with the response time for a simple count on a fulltext search that is too slow.
Even using the most simple query on a good server (64 bit Dual Opteron 4GB Ram with high speed 16 raid disk storage)):
select count(*) from content_books where contains(searchData,'"english"') Takes 4 seconds to count the avg 500.000 resultsI have removed all the joins with real table data so that the query is only inside the fulltext engine..
I would expect this to be down to 4 milli seconds. Isn't it just getting the size of the "english" word result index?
It seems the engine is going through all the results because if a do a more complex search that returns less results the performance is better.
Any clues of how to do this faster? I never read the thousands of records BUT i need to count them...
I have a SELECT TOP query in order to return x number of top records from a table which has the indexing service enabled on it, such as this :
SELECT TOP(15) * FROM [TableName] ORDER BY [ColumnName]
and also there are not that many records(MAX 100 rows) kept in the table at the moment however, it will grow later. The issue stems out from the ORDER BY [ColumnName] part of the syntax that changes the TOP selection order which makes the query to run very slow as I have also analyzed in the SQL SERVER QUERY ANALYZER. Anyhow, I need to have the ORDER BY statement to show the data based on different columns either ascending or descending. There might we workarounds to achieve the same goal that I am not aware of. Any thoughts is appreciated.
SELECT * on a 4000 row table is taking more than 12 seconds. Other larger tables are not nearly as slow. I've DBCC dbreindex'd, and dbcc showcontig shows density at 100%.
How can I figure out why this is happening? What are some remedies?
However, as you can see, the original select query is run twice and joined together.What I was hoping for is this to be done in the original query without the need to duplicate the original query.
Here's what I'm trying to do: 1. Output each country in one column 2. Output the number of subscriptions made from a member of that country where tblOrders.orderTypeID = 3 and tblSubscriptionPacks.TypeID = 1 in the next column 3. Output the number of subscriptions made from a member of that country where tblOrders.orderTypeID = 3 and tblSubscriptionPacks.TypeID = 2 in the next column
My problem was that I was doing joins, and I was somehow ending up with orders where the OrderTypeID was NOT equal to 3, even though I declared it specifically in the WHERE clause.
I have two tables. Houses and Guests. The guests are the people who visited the houses tied by the HouseNo.
I want to list all of the houses which has HouseName, Address, HouseNo. Then I want to show a column for the number of guests who visited it.
The Guest table has GuestName and HouseNo. How can I do a select on all houses and then show a column of COUNT(GuestName) for all the guests with the HouseNo matching each row?
I've found example code of accessing an SQLDataSource and even have it working in my own code - an example would be Dim datastuff As DataView = CType(srcSoftwareSelected.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty), DataView) Dim row As DataRow = datastuff.Table.Rows(0) Dim installtype As Integer = row("InstallMethod") Dim install As String = row("Install").ToString Dim notes As String = row("Notes").ToString The above only works on a single row, of course. If I needed more, I know I can loop it.The query in srcSoftwareSelected is something like "SELECT InstallMethod, Install, Notes FROM Software"My problem lies in trying to access the data in a simliar way when I'm using a SELECT COUNT query. Dim datastuff As DataView = CType(srcSoftwareUsage.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty), DataView) Dim row As DataRow = datastuff.Table.Rows(0) Dim count As Integer = row("rowcnt") The query here is "SELECT COUNT(*) as rowcnt FROM Software"The variable count is 1 every time I query this, no matter what the actual count is. I know I've got to be accessing the incorrect data member in the 2nd query because a gridview tied to srcSoftwareUsage (the SQLDataSource) always displays the correct value. Where am I going wrong here?
I have problem when retrieving a result from SELECT COUNT(*) FROM [Table] from an Oracle database.
When I try to put the result (single row) in a variable I get the following error message.
[Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "RowsSource": "Unsupported data type on result set binding RowsSource.".
I have a table defined as such: PosterArtId int no 4 10 0 no (n/a) (n/a) NULL Graphic image no 16 yes (n/a) (n/a) NULL GraphicFilename varchar no 50 no no no SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
I have a Stored Procedure defined in the database that queries this table (joins with some other tables) that takes about 1 1/2 minutes to return results (running directly in query analyzer). The table itself has 8900 records and the resulting stored procedure returns 33 rows.
I have backed up this database and restored it to another database on a different machine also running SQL Server 2000. When I run the same stored procedure on this 2nd database (note the contents of the database and this table are exactly the same), it runs very quickly - in about 2 seconds.
I'm trying to figure out what is causing the query to run so slow on the original database, which is our production database server (note that none of the other queries seem to be running extra slow on this machine, just this particular one).
I've since been reading up on storing images in the database and I don't think the images are stored "text in row" - I ran the command: €œSELECT OBJECTPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID('tblPosterArt'),'TableTextInRowLimit')€? and got a 0 return value.
My ultimate goal is to figure out: 1) why the timing is so different on the two databases even though the have the same data 2) is there something we can do to speed up the results on our production server
For the first goal, I'm heading down the path that something in the database backup/restore did not recreate the btree storage of the image data in the same manner. Would this be correct? If not, is there some kind of analysis that I can do that will tell me some useful information?
I've run the Stored Procedure for both databases in query analyzer with the "show execution plan", "trace", and "statistics" turned on. In the Execution Plan of the production database I see a significant amount of time in three areas: Nested Loops/Left Semi Join, Clustered Index Scan, and Clustered Index Seek. But being as I'm not a dba (nor do we have one on staff), I'm not sure how to interpret this data. I keep wanting to point to some sort of environment issue since the data is the same between the two machines.
I suppose there is nothing to do about the 2nd goal without knowing why the query on the one machine is taking so long. Any thoughts on how to get more information here?
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

I am having performance issues on a SQL query in Access. My query isaccessing and joining several tables (one very large one). The tables arelinked ODBC. The client submits the query to the server, separated byseveral states. It appears the query is retrieving gigs of data from thetable and processing the joins on the client. Is there away to perform moreof the work on the server there by minimizing the amount of extraneous tabledata moving across the network and improving performance (woefully slowabout 6 hours)?
HelloI have this stored procedure:SELECT @openissue=ISNULL(COUNT(*),0) FROM TOpenIssue WHERE TOpenIssue .Code <> 'CLOSED' and Project=@project AND DateDIFF( day, TOpenIssue .DateStart, GETDATE() ) >= 0SELECT @oiclosed=ISNULL(COUNT(*),0) FROM TOpenIssue WHERE TOpenIssue .Code = 'CLOSED' and Project=@project SELECT @oipastdue=ISNULL(COUNT(*),0) FROM TOpenIssue WHERE TOpenIssue .Code <> 'CLOSED' and Project=@project AND TOpenIssue .DateEnd<getdate()Is there away to optimize it in only one select statement?Thanks
Brief overview. Got 2 tables, client table and document table. Both tables have client name as the primary key. Client table shows client info, address, phone, dob. Document table shows client name, document, document type. I need to write a query that will count how many documents are in the table for each name.
This is attempt at it, please let me know whats wrong. Thanks.
SELECT count [client table].client name as cli_name, count ([document table].name as doc_qty) FROM [client table] INNER JOIN [document table] ON [client table].id = [document table].ID GROUP BY [client table].name ORDER BY [client table].name
I would like to display the person_ID, the total row for formation actif = 1 by person and formation actif = 0 by person and experience actif = 1 by person and experience actif = 0 by person
the result must be: person_ID nbFormationActif NbFormationInactif NbExpActfi 1 2 5 4 2 1 2 5 ... NbExpInactif 0 3
I have doing a simple query who display total experience actif and inactif for all people but now i'm must to do the SAME THING in the SAME QUERY FOR FORMATION and i'm still block!!! someone can help me ?

I have added some SQL to an Access form which updates the dbo_BM_Map table when the user hits the Apply button. There is a temp table with various fields, two being "Chapter_No" and "Initial_Mapping_Complete" which the update is based on.
I want this update to only apply to chapters that only have one name in the "Initial_Mapping_Complete" column. If a chapter has more than one then the update should ignore it. The attached screengrab shows you. The update should ignore chapter 19 as there are two people (Jim and James) in the Initial_Mapping_Complete field. Here is my code.
pdate dbo_BM_Map inner Join Temp_Progression_Populate on dbo_BM_Map.Product_ID = Temp_Progression_Populate.Product_ID Set dbo_BM_Map.Initial_Mapping_Complete = Temp_Progression_Populate.Initial_Mapping_Complete Where dbo_BM_Map.Chapter_No = Temp_Progression_Populate.Chapter_No And Temp_Progression_Populate.Initial_Mapping_Complete in (Select count(Initial_Mapping_Complete), Chapter_No from Temp_Progression_Populate Group by Chapter_No Having Count(Initial_Mapping_Complete) = 1)
Hi Friends, I want to have solution for one of the problem. The requirement is like this : I want to write stored procedure or function which will take parameter as SQL Server name, DB name, UserName and passwod. This Stored proc will connect to Remote server using these parameters and will get the count of the rows in one of the table. I created the connection using the linked server
Now I am trying to get count using following query : set @SQLQuery = 'SELECT count(*) FROM [' + @SerevrName + '].' + @SrcDataBaseName +'.dbo.<<TableName>>'
But the question is that the execution goes this way :
exec(@SQLQuery)
Now how to assign this count value to some variable so that I can use it later ...?
Going forword I want to use cursor and get the rows in these table using cursor ...? How can I assign values returned from any runtime query to temporary variable or table ...?
I tried another approach also: I put remote connection and query execution in inner stored proc called usp_GetTableRowCount set @SQLQuery = 'SELECT count(*) FROM [' + @SerevrName + '].' + @SrcDataBaseName +'.dbo.<<TableName>>'
exec(@SQLQuery)
and in outer stored proc : referenced the inner stored proc like this
exec @AFSDataRowCount = dbo.usp_GetTableRowCount <<Server Name>>,<<User Name>>, <<Password>>, <<DBName>> The execution of dbo.usp_GetTableRowCount <<Server Name>>,<<User Name>>, <<Password>>, <<DBName>> gives me exact no of rows but when I see value of AFSDataRowCount, I get 0.
Kindly help me out whereever I am making mistake or else pls tell me any other approach to follow. Thanks in advance.
how do I get the variables in the cursor, set statement, to NOT update the temp table with the value of the variable ? I want it to pull a date, not the column name stored in the variable...
create table #temptable (columname varchar(150), columnheader varchar(150), earliestdate varchar(120), mostrecentdate varchar(120)) insert into #temptable SELECT ColumnName, headername, '', '' FROM eddsdbo.[ArtifactViewField] WHERE ItemListType = 'DateTime' AND ArtifactTypeID = 10 --column name declare @cname varchar(30)
I have set up a 'Parameters' table that solely stores all pre-assigned selection values for a webform. I customized a stored query to Select the values from the Parameters table. I set up the webform. The result is that the form1.apsx automatically populates each DropDownList task with the pre-assigned values from the 'Parameters' table (for example, the stored values in the 'Parameters' table 'Home', 'Business', and 'Other' populate the drop down list for 'Type'). The programming to move the selected data from form1.aspx to a new table in the SQL database perplexes me. If possible, I would like to use the form1.aspx to Postback (or Insert) the "selected" data to a *new* column in a *new* table (such as writing the data to the 'CustomerType' column in the 'Customers' table; I clearly do not want to write back to the 'Parameters' table). Any help to get over this hurdle would be deeply appreciated.

Hello.I test some query on sql server 2000 (sp2 on OS windows 2000) and iwant to know why a simple query like this :select * from Table Where Column like '%value'is more slow on 2000 than on sql 7.And this case arrive only if the % character is in the begin.If you test this :select * from Table Where Column like 'v%alue'then it's more fast on 2000.I look the execution plan, there is a difference but this differenceis the same in all the case i test (for the two query i write in thismessage for example).I don't understand why and so, if someone have an explanation, andperhaps a solution ...Excuse my poor english language.And thanks for time people spend to answer me.
hello,I have the following query. it returns result in less than 1 second.select *from employee e, address awhere e.id=a.emp_idand e.id=1234The problem is that it becomes extremely slow if i take the last lineout. So the query looks like:select *from employee e, address awhere e.id=a.emp_idThe above query is only supposed to return ~500 rows. but i stillhaven't got the result back after 30 minutes.Does anyone have any suggestions about troubleshooting this problem?Thank you in advance!Eddy
hi, i need help with a query:SELECT Headshot, UserName, HeadshotId FROM tblProfile INNER JOIN Headshots ON Headshots.ProfileId=tblProfile.ProfileId WHERE (UserName= @UserName) this query will select what I want from the database, but the problem is that I have multiple HeadshotIds for each profile, and I only want to select the TOP/highest HeadshotId and get one row foreach headshotId. Is there a way to do that in 1 SQL query? I know how to do it with multiple queries, but im using SqlDataSource and it only permits one. Thanks!
