  • Can JSON be made easily and safely editable by the non-technical Excel crowd?

    - by glitch
    I'm looking for a data storage format that's very intuitive and easy to edit. It should be ideally targeted towards the same crowd as Excel. At the same time I would like the data structure to be a tree. Ideally this would be JSON, since it offers both the tree aspect and allows for more interesting constructs like arrays. That and parsing libraries for JSON are ubiquitous, so I don't have to reinvent the wheel. The problem is that, at least with a non-specialized text editor, JSON is a giant pain to edit for a non-technical user. I'm thinking along the lines of someone who might have used Excel in the past, but never a real text editor. Someone who might not be comfortable with the idea of preserving JSON syntax by hand. Are there data formats out there that would fit this profile? I'd very much prefer this to be a JSON actually, but then it would require a solid editing tool that would hide the underlying implementation from the user. Think Excel and how it abstracts CSV syntax from the user. The reason I'm looking for something like this is because the team has been working with pretty hierarchical data for a while now and we've hit the limits of how easy it is to represent in simple CSVs without having to create complex rules for how represent hierarchy semantics from each row. Any suggestions?

  • How to analyze data

    - by Subhash Dike
    We are working on an application that allows user to search/read some content in a particular domain. We wanted to add some capability in the app which can suggest user some content based on the usage pattern (analyze data based on frequency and relevance). Currently every time user search or read something we do store that information in backend database. We would like to use this data to present some additional content to user. Could someone explain what kind of tools will be required for such a job and any example? And what this concept is called, data analysis? data mining? business intelligence? or something else? Update: Sorry for being too broad, here is an example SQL Database (Just to give an idea, actual db is little different with normalization and stuff) Table: UserArticles Fields: UserName | ArticleId | ArticleTitle | DateVisited | ArticleCategory Table: CategoryArticles Fields: Category | Article Title | Author etc. One Category may have one more articles. One user may have read the same article multiple times (in this case we place additional entry in the user article table. Task: Use the information availabel in UserArticle table and rank categories in order which would be presented to user automatically in other part of application. Factors to be considered are frequency and recency. This might be possible through simple queries or may require specialized tools. Either way, the task is what mention above. I am not too sure which route to take, hence the question. Thoughts??

  • Data Synchronization in mobile apps - multiple devices, multiple users

    - by ProgrammerNewbie
    I'm looking into building my first mobile app. One of the core features of the application is that multiple devices/users will have access to the same data -- and all of them will have CRUD rights. I believe the architecture should involve a central server where all the data is stored. The devices will use an API to interact with the server to perform its data operations (e.g. adding a record, editing a record, deleting a record). I imagine a scenario where synchronizing the data will become a problem. Assume the application should work when it is not connected to the Internet, and thus cannot communicate with this central server. So: User A is offline and edits record #100 User B is offline and edits record #100 User C is offline and deletes record #100 User C goes online (presumably, record #100 should get deleted on the server) User A and B goes online, but the records they edited no longer exist All sorts of scenarios similar to the above can come up. How is this generally handled? I plan to use MySQL, but am wondering if it's not appropriate for such a problem.

  • Function to Calculate Median in Sql Server

    - by Yaakov Ellis
    According to MSDN, Median is not available as an aggregate function in Transact-Sql. However, I would like to find out whether it is possible to create this functionality (using the Create Aggregate function, user defined function, or some other method). What would be the best way (if possible) to do this - allow for the calculation of a median value (assuming a numeric data type) in an aggregate query?

  • Count(*) vs Count(1)

    - by Nai
    Hi, just wondering if any of you guys use Count(1) over Count(*) and if there is a noticeable difference for SQL Server 2005 in performance? Or is this just a legacy habit that has been brought forward from days gone past?

  • Linq To Sql Concat() dropping fields in created TSQL

    - by user191468
    This is strange. I am moving a stored proc to a service. The TSQL unions multiple selects. To replicate this I created multiple queries resulting in a common new concrete type. Then I issue a return result.ToString(); and the resulting SQL selects have varying numbers of columns specified thus causing an MSSQL Msg 205... using (var db = GetDb()) { var fundInv = from f in db.funds select new Investments { Company = f.company, FullName = f.fullname, Admin = f.admin, Fund = f.fund1, FundCode = f.fundcode, Source = STR_FUNDS, IsPortfolio = false, IsActive = f.active, Strategy = f.strategy, SubStrategy = f.substrategy, AltStrategy = f.altstrategy, AltSubStrategy = f.altsubstrategy, Region = f.region, AltRegion = f.altregion, UseAlternate = f.usealt, ClassesAllowed = f.classallowed }; var stocksInv = from s in db.stocks where !fundInv.Select(f => f.Company).Contains(s.vehcode) select new Investments { Company = s.company, FullName = s.issuer, Admin = STR_PRS, Fund = s.shortname, FundCode = s.vehcode, Source = STR_STOCK, IsPortfolio = false, IsActive = (s.inactive == null), Strategy = s.style, SubStrategy = s.substyle, AltStrategy = s.altstyle, AltSubStrategy = s.altsubsty, Region = s.geography, AltRegion = s.altgeo, UseAlternate = s.usealt, ClassesAllowed = STR_GENERIC }; var bondsInv = from oi in db.bonds where !fundInv.Select(f => f.Company).Contains(oi.vehcode) select new Investments { Company = string.Empty, FullName = oi.issue, Admin = STR_PRS1, Fund = oi.issue, FundCode = oi.vehcode, Source = STR_BONDS, IsPortfolio = false, IsActive = oi.closed, Strategy = STR_OTH, SubStrategy = STR_OTH, AltStrategy = STR_OTH, AltSubStrategy = STR_OTH, Region = STR_OTH, AltRegion = STR_OTH, UseAlternate = false, ClassesAllowed = STR_GENERIC }; return (fundInv.Concat(stocksInv).Concat(bondsInv)).ToList(); } The code above results in a complex select statement where each "table" above has different column count. (see SQL below) I've been trying a few things but no change yet. Ideas are welcome. SELECT [t6].[company] AS [Company], [t6].[fullname] AS [FullName], [t6].[admin] AS [Admin], [t6].[fund] AS [Fund], [t6].[fundcode] AS [FundCode], [t6].[value] AS [Source], [t6].[value2] AS [IsPortfolio], [t6].[active] AS [IsActive], [t6].[strategy] AS [Strategy], [t6].[substrategy] AS [SubStrategy], [t6].[altstrategy] AS [AltStrategy], [t6].[altsubstrategy] AS [AltSubStrategy], [t6].[region] AS [Region], [t6].[altregion] AS [AltRegion], [t6].[usealt] AS [UseAlternate], [t6].[classallowed] AS [ClassesAllowed] FROM ( SELECT [t3].[company], [t3].[fullname], [t3].[admin], [t3].[fund], [t3].[fundcode], [t3].[value], [t3].[value2], [t3].[active], [t3].[strategy], [t3].[substrategy], [t3].[altstrategy], [t3].[altsubstrategy], [t3].[region], [t3].[altregion], [t3].[usealt], [t3].[classallowed] FROM ( SELECT [t0].[company], [t0].[fullname], [t0].[admin], [t0].[fund], [t0].[fundcode], @p0 AS [value], [t0].[active], [t0].[strategy], [t0].[substrategy], [t0].[altstrategy], [t0].[altsubstrategy], [t0].[region], [t0].[altregion], [t0].[usealt], [t0].[classallowed] FROM [zInvest].[funds] AS [t0] UNION ALL SELECT [t1].[company], [t1].[issuer], @p6 AS [value], [t1].[shortname], [t1].[vehcode], @p7 AS [value2], @p8 AS [value3], (CASE WHEN [t1].[inactive] IS NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS [value5], [t1].[style], [t1].[substyle], [t1].[altstyle], [t1].[altsubsty], [t1].[geography], [t1].[altgeo], [t1].[usealt], @p10 AS [value6] FROM [zBank].[stocks] AS [t1] WHERE (NOT (EXISTS( SELECT NULL AS [EMPTY] FROM [zInvest].[funds] AS [t2] WHERE [t2].[company] = [t1].[vehcode] ))) AND ([t1].[vehcode] <> @p2) AND (SUBSTRING([t1].[vehcode], @p3 + 1, @p4) <> @p5) ) AS [t3] UNION ALL SELECT @p11 AS [value], [t4].[issue], @p12 AS [value2], [t4].[vehcode], @p13 AS [value3], @p14 AS [value4], [t4].[closed], @p16 AS [value6], @p17 AS [value7] FROM [zMut].[bonds] AS [t4] WHERE NOT (EXISTS( SELECT NULL AS [EMPTY] FROM [zInvest].[funds] AS [t5] WHERE [t5].[company] = [t4].[vehcode] )) ) AS [t6]

  • SQL last day in moth select

    - by Saif Khan
    I have the following table which is basically the summary of daily transactions and is loaded nightly. +++++++++++++++++++++++ + DateCreated + Sale + +++++++++++++++++++++++ + 20100101 + 1000 + + 20100131 + 2000 + + 20100210 + 2000 + + 20100331 + 4000 + +++++++++++++++++++++++ I need to display the sale by month, but only for the last day in each month. eg JAN 2000 FEB 0 MAR 4000 I could probably accomplish this with CASE in my select, but is this efficient? This is SQL Server 2000.

    Is it possible to use the App_Data folder in conjunction with SQL Server 2005? When I try it specifies Express even though I have changed the ToolsOptionsDatabaseData Connections to the correct server. I have downloaded SQLEXPR32_x86_ENU.exe Version 10.0.1600.22 file locally and have gone through 7 installs and deinstalls with a variety of different errors. I pretty much given up on Express and would like to find a workaround if it exists. Thanks Dennis Keith

  • MS SQL share identity seed amongst tables

    - by Net Citizen
    In MS SQL is it possible to share an identity seed across tables? For example I may have 2 tables: Table: PeopleA id name Table: PeopleB id name I'd like for PeopleA.id and PeopleB.id to always have unique values between themselves. I.e. I want them to share the same Identity seed. Note: I do not want to hear about table partitioning please, only about if it's possible to share a seed across tables.

  • integer Max value constants in SQL Server T-SQL?

    - by AaronLS
    Are there any constants in T-SQL like there are in some other languages that provide the max and min values ranges of data types such as int? I have a code table where each row has an upper and lower range column, and I need an entry that represents a range where the upper range is the maximum value an int can hold(sort of like a hackish infinity). I would prefer not to hard code it and instead use something like SET UpperRange = int.Max

  • SQL Server 2008 Splitting string variable number of token per line

    - by josephj1989
    I have a fairly simple requirement -I have a table with the following (relevant) structure. with cte as( select 1 id,'AA,AB,AC,AD' names union all select 2,'BA,BB' union all select 3,'CA,CB,CC,CD,CE' union all select 4,'DA,DB,DC' ) i would like to create a select statement which will split each "names" column into multiple rows. For example the first row should produce 1,'AA' 1,'AB' 1,'AC' 1,'AD' Can we do it using only SQL. This is failry easy to do in Oracle.

  • MS SQL and Identity column

    - by andrew007
    Hi, I just noticed that if I have an identity column in a table, when I insert new rows MS SQL 2008 is automatically filling up the sequence if there are discontinuity. I mean, if in my identity column I have 1,2,5,6 if I insert other two rows in the table the system puts automatically 3,7 in the identity column. Do you know how to control this behavior? THANKS

  • Sub-Schemas in SQL Server 2005/2008

    - by Maushu
    This is a simple question yet I was unable to find any information at all about this. Is it possible to have sub-schemas in SQL Server 2005/2008? Example: Having a HR (Human Resources) schema with a sub-schema called Training (with tables related to this). It would end up like HR.Training.* where * would be the tables.

  • MS SQL Index Scripting

    - by Fouad Masoud
    I'm using MS SQL 2008. Is it possible to create a script to loop over all tables in a database generating a set of index drop scripts and create scripts separately? What I have to do is drop all indexes on a set of databases to run a heavy data load process but then I want to re-enable all the indexes. I don't want to have to go through each table and script an index drop and then index create. Thanks!
