We are evaluating Tableau and noticed that it doesn't appear to recognize sparse columns in our SQL Server 2008 tables. Is this possible or are there any common workarounds?
Before going into production, our client demands actual numbers of how many users our web application can handle.
We have all kinds of features implemented including asset management (file uploads/downloads), documents import/export, various statistics, web-services etc.
Which tool (or set of tools) could do this?
Application details:
XHTML/jQuery
Coldfusion 8

I have a table Course and every Course has many Resources.
Course
==========
course_id
Resource
==========
course_id
number
I want something like a seperate autoincrement for each course_id. Or, in other words, I want to auto-enumerate the resources for a given course. For example, the resource table could look something like:
course_id | number
==================
1 | 1
1 | 2
2 | 1
1 | 3
1 | 4
2 | 2
2 | 3
and so on.
I want to do this in SQL, using IBM DB2.
I'm trying to use a dynamically generated fully-qualified table name in sql server 2008. For example, this does not work:
select max([id]) from @dbName+N'.[T1]'
This will give an error like:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 73
Incorrect syntax near '+'.
I know that something like this works:
declare @qualifiedTable varchar(200) = @dbName+N'.[T1]'
select max([id]) from @qualifiedTable
But I have to do this LOTS of times so I would really like to do it in line. Is it possible?
I have a scenario where I'm calculating something in the WHERE clause of my SQL, but I also want to get that calculation - since it's expensive. Is it possible to get the results of something done in the WHERE clause, like this:
SELECT `foo` FROM `table` WHERE (foo = LongCalculation())
Wishful thinking, or possible with MySQL?
Can someone point me towards a resource or show me an example of a good way of writing sql statements in php.
Most statements seem so ugly and unreadable.
Hello,
I've got a database with video ids and N keywords for each video.
I made a table with 1 video ID and 1 keyword ID in each row.
What's the easiest way to order keywords by frequency?
I mean to extract the number of times a keyword is used and order them.
Is it possible to do that with sql or do I need to use php arrays?
Thanks
Is it possible to deceive SQL Server to return a different date on GetDate() without actually changing the machine date?
This would be great, since we have a database with old data and I'm trying to test some queries that use getdate().
I can change my machine date but that brings some other problems with other applications...
Any tips?
Thanks!
Hi, I am using the following MS SQL statement to insert records and return the unique auto-inc ID value all in one shot. Wonder if there is a simpler/faster/better way to do it?
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE @res table (ID bigint);
INSERT INTO [Titles] ([Name],[Timestamp],[Title])
OUTPUT INSERTED.ID INTO @res
VALUES ('Name','23 aug 2010','this is a title');
SELECT [ID] FROM @res;
Hi,
this SQL clause is working OK:
SELECT * FROM `sf_guard_user` WHERE nombre_apellidos LIKE REPLACE('Mar Sanz',' ','%')
Now I'm trying to write this query for Doctrine. I have tried this:
$query->andWhere(sprintf('%s.%s LIKE REPLACE (?," ","%")',
$query->getRootAlias(), $fieldName),
'Mar Sanz'));
but I get this error:
Warning: sprintf() [function.sprintf]: Too few arguments
Any idea?

i have 2 tables in access
this is what i need:
1. if the PK from table1 exists in table2, then delete the entire record with that PK from table2 and add the entire record from table1 into table2
2. if the PK does not exist then add the record
i need help with both the sql statement and the VBA
i guess the VBA should be a loop, going through every record in table1. inside the loop i should have the select statement
I have a SSIS package that I plan to deploy on my SQL Server 2008 machine.
I need to call this SSIS package remotely and synchronously from .NET. Obviously I need to pass parameters to this package as well.
How could I do that?
Thanks,

Can I have a SQL query to get the data from columna in tableA whose values don't start with 'f' ?
For example:
select * from tableA where columnA
where values don't start with letter 'F'.
Hi All,
How can we set permissions for users to only allow them to download SSIS packages from the production server and but deny them permissions to run any package in the Server.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141053(SQL.90).aspx
If i assign users to any of the DB roles db_dtsadmin, db_dtsltduser, and db_dtsoperator they will automatically have permission to run the package.
Appreciate your inputs.
Thanks!
Hello all,
I am just reading this article and I came across this:
Filter: Remove any functions in the
WHERE clause, don't include views in
your Transact-SQL code, may need
additional indexes.
If I do not use views, what are the alternatives? I mean, in my situation, I want to select some data from a table and then use a few other select queries to work on the subset of data from the first select query?
How can I do this efficiently?
Thanks all
I'm querying a view and filtering the results with a column named status. I'd like to query it so I can search for rows with different status, by using the IN operator as I'd do in SQL.
As so:
SELECT * FROM VIEW WHERE Status in ('....', '.....')
How can I achieve this?
If I have a Parent and Child table in MySQL related by a foreign key, is it possible using a SQL statement to move certain rows from Parent and the related rows from Child into archive tables (e.g. Parent_Archive and Child_Archive) in an atomic manner?

I am making a windows service to be able to run operations on a sql server database (insert, edit, etc) and invoke Stored Procs.
However, is there a way for me to know the type of the SP? When invoking from C#, I need to knof if it is returning 1 value, or more, or none (so I can use executereader, scalar, etc)?
Thanks
I have several different tables, but they all have 2 columns that are the same name. I want to write a stored procedure that searches one column in all of the tables and returns the result. Ideas? I'm fairly nub when it comes to SQL.
I am coding in Visual Basic. I am using a checkbox control. Now depending on its checked property I need to set/unset a bit column in a SQL Server database. Here's the code:
Try
conSQL.Open()
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("update Student set send_mail = " + _
sendemailCheckBox.Checked.ToString + " where student_id = '" _
+ sidnolabel.Text + "'", conSQL)
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Finally
conSQL.Close()
End Try
The send_mail attribute is of bit datatype. This code is not working.
How do I go about it?
