  • T-SQL: Omit/Ignore repetitive data from a specific column

    - by Dsyfa
    Hi, For my question lets consider the following sample table data: ProductID    ProductName    Price   Category 1                Apple                 5.00       Fruits 2                Apple                 5.00       Food 3                Orange               3.00       Fruits 4                Banana                 2.00       Fruits I need a query which will result in the following data set: ProductID    ProductName    Price   Category 1                Apple                 5.00       Fruits 3                Orange               3.00       Fruits 4                Banana                 2.00       Fruits As you can see ProductID 2 has been omitted/ignored because Apple is already present in the result i.e. each product must appear only once irrespective of Category or Price. Thanks

  • slow SQL command

    - by Retrocoder
    I need to take some data from one table (and expand some XML on the way) and put it in another table. As the source table can have thousands or records which caused a timeout I decided to do it in batches of 100 records. The code is run on a schedule so doing it in batches works ok for the customer. If I have say 200 records in the source database the sproc runs very fast but if there are thousands it takes several minutes. I'm guessing that the "TOP 100" only takes the top 100 after it has gone through all the records. I need to change the whole code and sproc at some point as it doesn't scale but for now is there a quick fix to make this run quicker ? INSERT INTO [deviceManager].[TransactionLogStores] SELECT TOP 100 [EventId], [message].value('(/interface/mac)[1]', 'nvarchar(100)') AS mac, [message].value('(/interface/device) [1]', 'nvarchar(100)') AS device_type, [message].value('(/interface/id) [1]', 'nvarchar(100)') AS device_id, [message].value('substring(string((/interface/id)[1]), 1, 6)', 'nvarchar(100)') AS store_id, [message].value('(/interface/terminal/unit)[1]', 'nvarchar(100)') AS unit, [message].value('(/interface/terminal/trans/event)[1]', 'nvarchar(100)') AS event_id, [message].value('(/interface/terminal/trans/data)[1]', 'nvarchar(100)') AS event_data, [message].value('substring(string((/interface/terminal/trans/data)[1]), 9, 11)', 'nvarchar(100)') AS badge, [message].value('(/interface/terminal/trans/time)[1]', 'nvarchar(100)') AS terminal_time, MessageRecievedAt_UTC AS db_time FROM [deviceManager].[TransactionLog] WHERE EventId > @EventId --WHERE MessageRecievedAt_UTC > @StartTime AND MessageRecievedAt_UTC < @EndTime ORDER BY terminal_time DESC

  • T-SQL Table Variable Creating PHYSICAL Table!

    - by Mike
    OMG! What am I doing wrong? declare @WTF TABLE ( OrderItemId int ) SELECT TOP 20 OrderItemId as OrderItemId INTO [@WTF] FROM ac_OrderItems SELECT * FROM [@WTF] Problem A: This creates a PHYSICAL table called @WTF. WHY?? I thought this was in memory only?! Problem B: The last line of code, if I do select * from @WTF... WITHOUT the [ ], it returns NOTHING. What is the significance of the [ ]? I need serious help. I'm losing my MIND! Thanks in advance.

  • How to transform vertical table into horizontal table?

    - by avivo
    Hello, I have one table Person: Id Name 1 Person1 2 Person2 3 Person3 And I have its child table Profile: Id PersonId FieldName Value 1 1 Firstname Alex 2 1 Lastname Balmer 3 1 Email [email protected] 4 1 Phone +1 2 30004000 And I want to get data from these two tables in one row like this: Id Name Firstname Lastname Email Phone 1 Person1 Alex Balmer [email protected] +1 2 30004000 What is the most optimized query to get these vertical (key, value) values in one row like this? Now I have a problem that I done four joins of child table to parent table because I need to get these four fields. Some optimization is for sure possible. I would like to be able to modify this query in easy way when I add new field (key,value). What is the best way to do this? To create some StoreProcedure? I would like to have strongly types in my DB layer (C#) and using LINQ (when programming) so it means when I add some new Key, Value pair in Profile table I would like to do minimal modifications in DB and C# if possible. Actually I am trying to get some best practices in this case.

  • Best way to randomly select rows *per* column in SQL Server

    - by LesterDove
    A search of SO yields many results describing how to select random rows of data from a database table. My requirement is a bit different, though, in that I'd like to select individual columns from across random rows in the most efficient/random/interesting way possible. To better illustrate: I have a large Customers table, and from that I'd like to generate a bunch of fictitious demo Customer records that aren't real people. I'm thinking of just querying randomly from the Customers table, and then randomly pairing FirstNames with LastNames, Address, City, State, etc. So if this is my real Customer data (simplified): FirstName LastName State ========================== Sally Simpson SD Will Warren WI Mike Malone MN Kelly Kline KS Then I'd generate several records that look like this: FirstName LastName State ========================== Sally Warren MN Kelly Malone SD Etc. My initial approach works, but it lacks the elegance that I'm hoping the final answer will provide. (I'm particularly unhappy with the repetitiveness of the subqueries, and the fact that this solution requires a known/fixed number of fields and therefore isn't reusable.) SELECT FirstName = (SELECT TOP 1 FirstName FROM Customer ORDER BY newid()), LastName= (SELECT TOP 1 LastNameFROM Customer ORDER BY newid()), State = (SELECT TOP 1 State FROM Customer ORDER BY newid()) Thanks!

  • How to calculate change in ANSI SQL

    - by morpheous
    I have a table that contains sales data. The data is stored in a table that looks like this: CREATE table sales_data ( sales_time timestamp , sales_amt double ) I need to write parameterized queries that will allow me to do the following: Return the change in sales_amt between times t2 and t1, where t2 and t1 are separated by a time interval (integer) of N. This query will allow for querying for weekly changes in sales (for example). Return the change in change of sales_amt between times t2 and t1, and time t3 and t4. Thats is to calculate the value (val(t2)-val(t1)) - (val(t4)-val(t3)). where t2 and t1 are separated by the same time interval (interval N) as the interval between t4 and t3. This query will allow for querying for changes in weekly changes in sales (for example).

  • code optimization; switch versus if's

    - by KaiserJohaan
    Hello, I have a question about whether to use 'case' or 'ifs' in a function that gets called quite alot. Here's the following as it is now, in 'ifs'; the code is self-explanatory: int identifyMsg(char* textbuff) { if (!strcmp(textbuff,"text")) { return 1; } if (!strcmp(textbuff,"name")) { return 2; } if (!strcmp(textbuff,"list")) { return 3; } if (!strcmp(textbuff,"remv")) { return 4; } if (!strcmp(textbuff,"ipad")) { return 5; } if (!strcmp(textbuff,"iprm")) { return 6; } return 0; } My question is: Would a switch perform better? I know if using ifs, I can place the most likely options at the top.

  • Optimizing ROW_NUMBER() in SQL Server

    - by BlueRaja
    We have a number of machines which record data into a database at sporadic intervals. For each record, I'd like to obtain the time period between this recording and the previous recording. I can do this using ROW_NUMBER as follows: WITH TempTable AS ( SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY Machine_ID ORDER BY Date_Time) AS Ordering FROM dbo.DataTable ) SELECT [Current].*, Previous.Date_Time AS PreviousDateTime FROM TempTable AS [Current] INNER JOIN TempTable AS Previous ON [Current].Machine_ID = Previous.Machine_ID AND Previous.Ordering = [Current].Ordering + 1 The problem is, it goes really slow (several minutes on a table with about 10k entries) - I tried creating separate indicies on Machine_ID and Date_Time, and a single joined-index, but nothing helps. Is there anyway to rewrite this query to go faster?

  • T-SQL query with date range

    - by Moo
    Hi, I have a fairly weird 'bug' with a simple query, and I vaguely remember reading the reason for it somewhere a long time ago but would love someone to refresh my memory. The table is a basic ID, Datetime table. The query is: select ID, Datetime from Table where Datetime <= '2010-03-31 23:59:59' The problem is that the query results include results where the Datetime is '2010-04-01 00:00:00'. The next day. Which it shouldn't. Anyone? Cheers Moo

  • Cannot delete from sys.tables

    - by Shimmy
    How can I perform this query on whatever way: delete from sys.tables where is_ms_shipped = 0 What happened is, I executed a very large query and I forgot to put USE directive on top of it, now I got a zillion tables on my master db, and don't want to delete them one by one. UPDATE: It's a brand new database, so I don't have to care about any previous data, the final result I want to achieve is to reset the master db to factory shipping.

  • How to convert row data into columns in SQL

  • FTS: Searching across multiple fields 'intelligently'

    - by Wild Thing
    Hi, I have a SP using FTS (Full Text Search). I want searches across multiple fields, 'intelligently' ranking results based on the weights I assign. Consider a search on a view fetching data from tables: Book, Author and Genre. Now, I want the searcher to be able to do: "Ludlum Fiction", "Robert Ludlum Bourne", "Bourne Ludlum", etc. Unfortunately, the only way I have been able to do that at present is this: http://pastebin.com/fdce11ff This is pretty bad, because I am manually breaking up the search string. I know I am doing this completely the wrong way, but can't figure out the right way to search across multiple fields in FTS. Can somebody help please?
