Hi David
What you describe above is pretty much exactly the situation, except...
A Sales Order typically has about 20 lines (I display the lines in a datagrid, they fill in the qty despatched for each item, and click confirm despatch. Two users can definitely try to despatch the same item at the same time.
Then it gets worse. After they confirm the despatch...
a) I update the Sales Order Header table - Status changes from Awaiting Despatch to Despatched
b) For each row in the datagrid:
i) See how much stock there is of the item in the stock table(Select query)
ii) Update the Stock Table with new Qty (Update Query)
ii) Write the qty despatched to the Sales Order Detail Table (Update Query)
iii) Write a transaction to a stock History Table (Insert Query)
iv) Write batch information to a Batch table
Both your suggestions may help (i.e. instead of first running a select query to get the stock qty, calculating the new qty in the app, then doing a second query to update the table with the new value, to rather do the calculation in the query)
This is a bit of a problem because of the way I store the stock qty - they have about 1000 stock items, that can exist in any of 10 warehouses. I only keep items that have stock in a warehouse in this table - kind of hard to explain here - perhaps i need to load every stock item in every warehouse in this table.
Second I like the idea of a transaction rollback, but I need to rollback all the other table writes and updates as well? Is this possible.
I can post code, but its long and would be much more than a snippet - can try to shorten it if this would help?

Or
Change your stock table to have an allocated field and increment/decrement that as the request is processed or cancelled/completed. It will depend on your business process, if the sales process takes minutes or a longer period this may suit.
You have to deal with crash edge cases where you have orphaned allocated values.

I have an XML document with parent and 3 different chile elements.
Does anyone know how to get this into SQL please?
Might be a silly question but it's the first time for me. 
|
|
|
|

Probably depends on what you really mean.
But some possible solutions.
1. MS SQL Server (TSQL)can process XML. So write some TSQL to do it.
2. Write some C# (or Java, C++, perl, etc) which parses the XML and outputs in to import files. Then use the inport feature of the database to import it.
Myself I would generally always chose 2 because I am more familar with doing it with something besides TSQL and because then I don't need to worry about impacting database performance while it runs.

If the XML is something like:
<records>
<record>
<id>1</id>
<name>foo</name>
</record>
<record>
<id>2</id>
<name>bar</name>
</record>
</records>
and I don't yet a table for it, then my preference is to read the XML into an XmlDocument, iterate the records, iterate the children, cobble up appropriate CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, execute the CREATE TABLE, then iterate the document again executing the INSERT for each record.
I have a console application to do this.

The XML data will be put on my ftp server and I need to read the data.
I have created the tables in SQL but now need to write a stored procedure to read the XML. All examples I found only use the 1 table so I still haven't managed to get the data into multiple tables.
Also in the child elements there is a field that include the foreign key [/int] added to it. I suppose I could do a substring once I read the data but for now I'm still stuck.

Hello all
I have this query
DECLARE @a nvarchar(50)
SET @a = '1,3'
select *
from tableName
where CAST(ColumnId as nvarchar(50)) in (@a)
which doesn't work.
i would like it to work like the following query
select *
from tableName
where ColumnId in (1,3)
please advice
Thank's

Hi,
Try with two diffrenet integer parameters if your columnID is integer. its working fine 4 me..
Happy Coding...

You are trying to compare a string '1,3' with an integer field that is not going to work.
Either do as Wipin suggested and use 2 variables or change the entire query to dynamic sql
DECLARE @a nvarchar(50)
SET @a = 'select * from tableName where ColumnId in (1,3)'
exec (@a)

You can try this:
DECLARE @a nvarchar(50)
SET @a = '1,3'
declare @tsql as nvarchar(max)
set @tsql = 'select *
from tableName
where CAST(ColumnId as nvarchar(50)) in ('+@a+')'
exec (@tsql)

I'd advice to not use the "in" operator with a user-defined varchar, but to name the values individually.
SELECT *
FROM tableName
WHERE ColumnId = 1 OR ColumnId = 2
You can simply concatenate "OR ColumnId = @value" to the query and set the parameters.

I have this tables:
illness (cod_i,illness)
symptoms (cod_s,symptom)
and
illness_symptoms (cod_i,Cod_s)
How can i do to find out a illness that has for example 2/3 symptoms
-> cod_i | cod_s
i_1 s_1
i_1 s_2
i_1 s_3
that is select the illness that has the s_1 and s_2 symptoms. Please Help me
|
|
|
|
|
You need to select from the many-to-many table joined to itself, as in (not tested):
1. assuming s_1 and s_2 are known:
SELECT * FROM illness_symptoms AS is1
INNER JOIN illness_symptoms AS is2 ON is1.cod_i=is2.cod_i
WHERE is1.cod_s=s_1 AND is2.cod_s=s_2
2.
Assuming symptom1 and symptom2 are known:
SELECT * FROM illness_symptoms AS is1
INNER JOIN illness_symptoms AS is2 ON is1.cod_i=is2.cod_i
INNER JOIN symptoms AS sy1 ON is1.cod_s=sy1.cod_s
INNER JOIN symptoms AS sy2 ON is2.cod_s=sy2.cod_s
WHERE sy1.symptom=symptom1 AND sy2.symptom=symptom2
In both cases, then probably apply one more JOIN to obtain the details of the illnesses found.

THANKS A LOT MAN
i just tried the firs option with 2 and four symptoms and it really works. I doing a program to predict based on four choosen symptoms(combobox) if there are a illness, is like the idea of helping some kind of doctor in the task of diagnose illness. REALLY THANKS first time i ask in this very informative website![Java | [Coffee]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)

Dear All,
We are planning to have a complete solution for SQL Server disaster situation.
We will have two servers, one is locally and the other is in another country where we have VPN connections between the two offices.
I planned to build a transactional replication with fail over options to redirect our applications to the subscriber server.
My question is: Is this option (Transactional Replication) the most useful and best solution for mu purpose?
And if it is the best solution, how can our applications redirect to the subscriber server if the primary server is down???
Is there any thing to use that may check the primary server availability and redirect the applications to the subscriber server automatically???
Your help is very very very appreciated
Best Regards
Kind Regards

Actually there are several ways of doing this, but if your way works for you then it is the best way. Sorry I do not remember how to fail-over. Currently we use log shipping but not the High Availability of it as we manually switch (not my idea).
Good luck, and do not forget to practice the fail-over every so often.

Hi, I'm fairly new to SQL and am using Oracle SQL Developer. I have a table with a field of data type DATE. (It is the 3rd field along). I need to insert a date and time into the field. I have tried the following:
INSERT INTO rentals VALUES (1, 7782, 02/02/2010 09:45:00,'PQ07JHG');
INSERT INTO rentals VALUES (1, 7782, TO_DATE(02/02/2010 09:45:00, 'dd-mm-yyyy' 'hh24:mm:ss'), 'PQ07JHG');
INSERT INTO rentals VALUES (1, 7782, TO_DATE(02/02/2010 09:45:00), 'PQ07JHG');
I keep on getting the same error: Bind variable "45" is NOT DECLARED.
Thanks in advance for any help

What tool are you using to insert the data (application you are building or a management tool) it looks like a management tool so try:
INSERT INTO rentals VALUES (1, 7782, TO_DATE('02/02/2010 09:45:00'), 'PQ07JHG');
I do believe todate takes a string literal as the first parameter.

The software I'm using is Oracle SQL Developer.
I tried the above and got the error: "not a valid month".
I also tried this (the only different from the original post is that I put '' around them)
INSERT INTO rentals VALUES (1, 7782, to_date('02/02/2010 09:45:00', 'dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mm:ss'), 'PQ07JHG');
And with this effort, I got the error:
"format code appears twice"

Hi everyone,
I'm a software developer and just started my professional career life, question here i want to ask is ... that few days ago i was at client site to resolve some issue in application deployed by a company that uses MySQL for database, what i was found that there are four MySQL tables were crashed due to low harddisk space issue (I've searched on net that this is a usual problem with MySQL) that then i repaired by using myisamchk command. Error shown by MySQL when these were accessing is [table name] marked as crashed and should be repaired.
ok so this was the background scenario, now what i want to know/ask here is ... as described in above details that these 4 four tables were not accessible becuase they are crashed but I took a backup of this database and restore it to MySQL at another machine then i can access these table easily with no issue/error by MySQL, SO WHY THIS HAPPENS THAT AT ONE SIDE THESE ARE AS CRASHED AND ON ANOTHER THE BACKUP OF SAME DATABASE THAT WAS TAKEN WHEN THESE TABLES ARE CRASHED ARE THEN WORKING FINE.
I really will appreciate any kind of help on this topic Im just asking this for knowlegde and second thing is my boss also asked me the same question
