SCHEMA

Schema is used to separate the ownership of database objects from actual users. It also serves as a logical component to divide the objects int the database to smaller groups (like accounting, marketing etc). See: User-Schema Separation[^]

Credentials

They are used to give access to the extrernal resources outside SQL Server. Credentials can then be given to logins. See: Credentials[^]

Yes,its possible but your sttament makes no sense and looks like it has several syntax errors anyway.

If you want to use Bal if its greater than Actual_Bal you need this

case when Bal > Actual_Bal then Bal else Actual_Bal end Actual_Bal

Hi All,

This message is related to SQL Server.
I worked on restoring single database through the backup file.

Now I have a backup file(.bak) of the complete Server databases.
I have followed the same steps to restore it. But unable to do it Cry | :((

Also tried with the following T-SQL statement.

RESTORE FILELISTONLY
FROM DISK = 'C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Desktop\DB BackUps\restoreDb\restoreDb.bak'

RESTORE DATABASE restoreDb
FROM DISK = 'C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Desktop\DB BackUps\restoreDb\restoreDb.bak'
WITH REPLACE,
MOVE 'restoreDb' TO 'C:\MSSQL\DATA\restoreDb_Data.MDF',
MOVE 'restoreDb' TO 'C:\MSSQL\DATA\restoreDb_Log.LDF'

It was throwing an error.

Please help me out in this.

Thanks in advance.

sql query

I have a table with the following data
Row | IssuedBankId | paidBankId | Payable | Receivable
1 | 1 | 2 | 1000 | 2000
_____________________________________________________________
2 | 1 | 3 | 1100 | 3000
_____________________________________________________________
3 | 1 | 4 | 4000 | 5000
_____________________________________________________________
4 | 2 | 1 | 2000 | 1000
_____________________________________________________________
5 | 3 | 1 | 3000 | 1100
_____________________________________________________________
6 | 4 | 2 | 5000 | Null
_____________________________________________________________
7 | 5 | 4 | 1000 | Null

I want to eliminate rows 4,5 bcoz we have the same info in row 1,2 respectively. Just payable, receivable amnts are interchanged. how can I get it. Please give me some Idea.

Thaking You,
Kiran.

I don't understand - is there a constraint preventing you from deleteing the data ?

if not, I'd make a backup of the table, then

delete from <table> where row in (4,5);

you don't say which database/sql you're using, so Im assuming your sql allows the 'in (4,5)' - not sure which standard it is ...

Thank U 'g',
I am using sql server database. The data which I have given is from view not from table (sorry for mentioning it as table). What I exactly need is ,

I want to exclude redundant data while displaying, here when Bank '1' is payable "xxx" amnt to Bank '2', and receivable 'yyy' from bank '2', then bank '2' is receivable 'xxx' from bank '1', and payable 'yyy' to bank '1'.
Hence my report should consists of either bank '1' info, or bank '2' info. In the same manner all banks info in one query.And field 'Row' is not a column. That I hav given for referance purpose.

Wendelius5-Jan-09 21:56

If I inderstood you corectly, you want to eliminate rows 4 and 5 because the transfer is in opposite order base on bank id's and amounts. If that's correct you could write something like:

select *
from tablename t1
where not exists (select 1
                  from  tablename t2
                  where t2.paidbankid = t1.issuedbankid
                  and   t2.payable    = t1.receivable
                  and   t2.receivable = t1.payable)

Thank U Mika,
I want retain Rows(1,2). With ur query Rows (1,2,4,5) are getting eliminated. As rows 4,5 are having same data in other way I don't want to display it. If I show relation b/w Bank 'm' & 'n' I need not to Display the same relation b/w 'n' & 'm'.

Wendelius5-Jan-09 23:26

5-Jan-09 23:26

Yes, that's correct. That query finds matching pairs and eliminates both of them.

Now you would have to add the logic which one of the matching rows is left in the result set. You didn't mention the logic why rows 1 and 2 are left so I wasn't able to write it to the example. Is it perhaps the issuedbankid why the rows are left or something else?

Sorry For not responding in time.

I want to get a report of In the following way,

If the user selects a "Bank" from dropdownlist, then he must get the list of all banks' amnts (may payable,receivable) towards that selected bank

assume selected banks' Id is 1 (xyz bank)

bankname Payable to(xyz) receivable from(xyz)

aaa 1000 2000
bbb 2000 00.00
ccc 3000 4000

I have given the structure of my view. so how to generate this sort of report. what would be the query?

I tried with this

<pre>select T1.IssuedBank,T1.PaidBank,T1.Payable,T1.Receivable from
Test_MergeView as T1 Left Join
Test_MergeView as T2
ON
T1.IssuedBank = T2.PaidBank and
T1.PaidBank = T2.IssuedBank
Where
T1.PaidBank > T1.IssuedBank </pre>

but if paidbankId is < issuedbankid that info is getting eliminated in display. to avoid rows 4,5 I used where clause. but other wanted info is also getting eliminated.

So if your data was:

Row | IssuedBankId | paidBankId | Payable | Receivable
1   | 1            | 2          | 1000    | 2000
2   | 1            | 3          | 1100    | 3000
3   | 1            | 4          | 4000    | 5000
4   | 2            | 1          | 2000    | 1000
5   | 3            | 1          | 3000    | 1100
6   | 4            | 2          | 5000    | Null
7   | 5            | 4          | 1000    | Null

and you said that if the user select 1 for bankid, then you would like the result to be:

Row | IssuedBankId | paidBankId | Payable | Receivable
1   | 1            | 2          | 1000    | 2000
2   | 1            | 3          | 1100    | 3000
3   | 1            | 4          | 4000    | 5000

Is that correct? Are all the rows and columns present? Since that would be simply:

SELECT *
FROM   TableName
WHERE  IssuedBankId = 1

I suppose that this isn't what you're looking for?

I need to import data from one Access database to another with virtually identitical structurers (the target database may have more columns, but it has every column that the database to be imported has). I want to do this for specific tables using SQL, but my database is protected by a database password. How do I construct the SQL statement to include the password?

Thanks.

The SQL statement doesn't include the password, only the connection does.

The solution varies depending which tools you're about to use, but basically you take one connection to the access db, read data from there and put it to sql server using another connection. You could do this with c#, SSIS/DTS (depending on the db version), linked server etc.

Thanks, but both the databases are MS Access databases. I need to import data from one Access database into another Access database. I will be using C# to do this operation. How would I include the connection in any SQL operation I might perform? I've tried to Merge 2 data tables. It works (usually), but takes a VERY long time. That's why I was hoping to find something quicker, such as a SQL statement perform the work. If my databases were not secure, I could do this very easily, but the database password complicates things.

Thanks.
