Hi David,
I'm actually very inclined to write a console app, or maybe even a service.
It's the guy who is directing my work who is kind of against it, for no apparent reason.
I don't have the capability of writing the code at the Client site, where I'm working.
I do have VS 2010 installed here at home though, so I may give it a whirl.
I tend to think that it would be pretty! A simple and elegant solution.
Thanks!

Hmm you need to look at a number of aspects as it sounds like you are a single person operator doing small systems. I have been there so!
How are you going to support the processes, remotely or turn up when they fail, can you client do some of the support himself (IE restart an SSIS package/job). Corollary, how critical is the load.
Another issue, does your client expect to play in your dirt patch, will he want to learn from your SSIS, is he one of those to want to inspect the code? And do you want him to. This pros and cons, he can help support himself and he can also screw up the system dramatically.
Personally I always move the file BEFORE processing it, I do the processing from the archive folder. I also prefer a winforms app as I then have complete control and can walk the user through a restart/reload etc. This is a preference only as both SSIS and app can do all the functionality required (SSIS can poll the folder every #n seconds/minutes using the job scheduler)

I want to import data from excel to sql server 2005. I am using C# for this purpose. I successfully exported the data of general format
to varchar. But, the problem arises while exporting the data of date type.
I have used date format in excel and want to export it in sql server 2005's datetime field.
The code that I have used is:-
SqlBulkCopy sqlBulk = new SqlBulkCopy(strConnection);
sqlBulk.DestinationTableName = "Data_Master_Inventory";
sqlBulk.ColumnMappings.Add("VendorRegistrationNo", "VendorRegistrationNo");
sqlBulk.ColumnMappings.Add("ProductCode", "ProductCode");
sqlBulk.ColumnMappings.Add("SerialNo", "SerialNo");
sqlBulk.ColumnMappings.Add("VendorProvidedSerialNo", "VendorProvidedSerialNo");
sqlBulk.ColumnMappings.Add("ModelName", "ModelName");
sqlBulk.ColumnMappings.Add("ProductCategoryCode", "ProductCategoryCode");
sqlBulk.ColumnMappings.Add("InventoryDate", "InventoryDate");
sqlBulk.WriteToServer(dReader);
Please provide me necessary solution.

You can open it in Notepad or Visual Studio or SQL Server Management Studio at least. Right-click and go Open With. If you don't know this really basic stuff...

I am a student of SQL Server. I have been using the SQL Server 2008R2 Enterprise trial version. The trial version has now expired. I just purchased the SQL Server 2008R2 developers version for $50.00. My question is should I install the Developers version over the trial version or try and delete the trial version first before installing the Developers version. 
|
|
|
|
|
I would remove the enterprise version. SQL Server has a history of problems with installed versions.

It is better to backup your entire existing databases and uninstall the expired version. Then install the new one with the licence key.

Hi All,
I want to update multiple columns of multiple rows of one table. Single/Multiple column update for single/Multiple row is quite easy but i want to update the rows of one table on the basis of rows of other table.
Here I demonstrate that what i want with single query
Table1 - History
Fields and Data
Date SId Country Price High Low ........
1 Dec 1 US 2 3 1 values...
1 Dec 2 US 3 4 2 values...
1 Dec 3 US 4 5 3 values...
1 Dec 4 US 5 6 4 values...
2 Dec 1 US 7 8 5 values...
2 Dec 2 US 8 9 6 values...
2 Dec 3 US 9 10 7 values...
2 Dec 4 US 10 11 8 values...
Table2 _ LatestPrice
Fields and Data
SId Country Price High Low ........
1 US 1 2 1 values...
2 US 1 2 1 values...
3 US 1 2 1 values...
4 US 1 2 1 values...
I want to update the LatestPrice table data on the base of field SID and Country from History table data.Here i pick the only highest date data from History table. Now i want to update data in LatestPrice table. so there are two approaches
One way is the pick one by one record from resultset and update the LatestPrice on the base of field SID and Country. so there are mulitple queries depends on the no. of records in resultset
Other way is write singe query in this way that they find automatically SId and Country and update the data.
So i was unable to write single query for update the Data.
Please suggest that how can i do this taks
any help will be appreciated

you can try the following syntax
Update LatestPrice set price = LatestPricesFromHistory.price,...other columns From
(
here goes query to find highest date data from History table
) as LatestPricesFromHistory
where LatestPrice.SID = LatestPricesFromHistory.SID and LatestPrice.Country = LatestPricesFromHistory.Country

Hi Varsha,
i tried as following
UPDATE LatestPrice SET price = LatestPricesFromHistory.price,
FROM ( SELECT *
FROM history
WHERE Date1 = (
SELECT max( Date1 )
FROM history ) ) AS LatestPricesFromHistory
WHERE LatestPrice.Sid = LatestPricesFromHistory.SId and LatestPrice.Country = LatestPricesFromHistory.Country
but it give me following error
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'From { select * from history where Date1=(select max(Date1) from history' at line 1.
Please suggest

I think MySQL does not support Update-Select.
I have used this syntax in SQL server 2005.
try this one for MySQL :
Update LatestPrice,
( Your Query for finding Latest Prices goes here) as LatestPriceFromHistory
Set price = LatestPriceFromHistory.price
where LatestPrice.SID=LatestPriceFromHistory.SID and LatestPrice.Country = LatestPriceFromHistory.Country

Hi Varsha,
i update the query as you suggested. and following is the original query
UPDATE issdetails_new a,<br />
(<br />
SELECT secid, country, PriceDate,<br />
OPEN , High, Low, Close, Ask, midval, Last, Bid, BidSize, AskSize, TradedVolume, MktCloseDate, Volflag, TradedValue, TotalTrades,<br />
COMMENT , LocalCode<br />
FROM hist_prices<br />
WHERE MktCloseDate = (<br />
SELECT max( MktCloseDate )<br />
FROM hist_prices )<br />
) AS b<br />
SET a.PriceDate = b.PriceDate,<br />
a.Open = b.Open,<br />
a.High = b.High,<br />
a.Low = b.Low,<br />
a.Close = b.Close,<br />
a.Midval = b.Midval,<br />
a.Ask = b.Ask,<br />
a.Last = b.Last,<br />
a.Bid = b.Bid,<br />
a.BidSize = b.BidSize,<br />
a.AskSize = b.AskSize,<br />
a.TradedVolume = b.TradedVolume,<br />
a.MktCloseDate = b.MktCloseDate,<br />
a.Volflag = b.Volflag,<br />
a.TradedValue = b.TradedValue,<br />
a.TotalTrades = b.TotalTrades,<br />
a.Comment = b.Comment,<br />
a.LocalCode = b.LocalCode WHERE a.SecId = b.SecId AND a.Country = b.Country
Its works well. Thanks a lot
but there are one more problem
in table issdetails, there are 9500 records and in table hist_prices there are 41,50,000 records so it takes 11 -13 minute for update the table issdetails. Any option to reduce the execution time ? Please suggest

Sorry I don't know much about MySQL, but you can google for "Indexing in MySQL".

I'll probably take some heat for suggesting a Merge, but as I assume there might be new SIds and countries appearing in the history table...
MERGE INTO LatestPrice lp
USING (
SELECT Max(DATE),SId,Country,Price,High,Low
FROM history h
GROUP BY SId,Country,Price,High,Low
ON lp.SId = h.SId AND lp.Country = h.Country
WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE
SET lp.Price = h.Price
,lp.High = h.High
,lp.Low = h.Low
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
INSERT (lp.sid,lp.Country,lp.Price,lp.High,lp.Low)
VALUES (h.SId,h.Country,h.Price,h.High,h.Low)Another approach is ofcourse to not have a separate table for the LatestPrice, but a view. Which of course might have performance issues.
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW LatestPrice (lastdate,SId,Country,Price,High,Low)
AS (
SELECT Max(DATE) lastdate,SId,Country,Price,High,Low
FROM history h
GROUP BY SId,Country,Price,High,Low
)
Edit: changed the view.

thanks a lot for you suggestion.
View option is not applicable for my requirement. since I need to update the data in table.
Also i tried the Merge option as you suggested but with a little modification and it is the original query
MERGE INTO issdetails_new lp USING ( SELECT Max( MktCloseDate ) , secid,country, PriceDate,<br />
OPEN , High, Low, Close, Ask, Last, Bid, BidSize, AskSize, TradedVolume, MktCloseDate, Volflag, TradedValue, TotalTrades,<br />
COMMENT , LocalCode<br />
FROM hist_prices<br />
GROUP BY secid, PriceDate,<br />
OPEN , High, Low, Close, Ask, Last, Bid, BidSize, AskSize, TradedVolume, MktCloseDate, Volflag, TradedValue, TotalTrades,<br />
COMMENT , LocalCode ) AS h ON (lp.Secid = h.Secid and lp.country=h.country)<br />
WHEN MATCHED<br />
THEN UPDATE SET lp.PriceDate = h.PriceDate,<br />
lp.open = h.open,<br />
lp.Low = h.Low,<br />
lp.high = h.high,<br />
lp.close = h.close,<br />
lp.ask = h.ask,<br />
lp.last = h.last,<br />
lp.bid = h.bid,<br />
lp.bidsize = h.bidsize,<br />
lp.asksize = h.asksize,<br />
lp.TradedVolume = h.TradedVolume,<br />
lp.MktCloseDate = h.MktCloseDate,<br />
lp.Volflag = h.Volflag,<br />
lp.TradedValue = h.TradedValue,<br />
lp.TotalTrades = h.TotalTrades,<br />
lp.Comment = h.Comment,<br />
lp.LocalCode = h.LocalCode
but it gives me following error
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'MERGE INTO issdetails_new lp USING ( SELECT Max(MktCloseDate),secid,Pric' at line 1
Please suggest where i am doing wrong.

That's not a very descriptive error message. And my experience with mysql is none.
But I can see one error in the USING query, you have "Country" in the SELECT but not in the GROUP BY.

HI Jorgen,
I think this is not the cause for error. since it only not include the country in Grouping.
