The comments have been useful, and pretty much match my thoughts. I was starting to think that maybe my ideas were a little out of date. NOSQL is moving more towards denormalization, which goes against a lot of what we do with relational databases.
At the time of writing the post, I hadn't put much thought into joins which will have the biggest problems. I'm looking at some other ways to simplify my architecture without sacrificing best practices and performance.

I've been looking at repository pattern implementations (using .Net and EF). Many of them aren't selective.
One of the most common methods is GetByID. This gets the whole record. Is this really bad? It will return one record, and in most systems it'll use the primary key.
One of the most shocking things I have seen is List<myentity> GetAll(). This returns ALL records in a table. This is clearly going to become an issue in large systems.
Another way some systems work is by using DDD and having aggregates return all related data. This tends to make the code simple, but I have doubts about scalability. Has anybody got experience with a system like this?

I'm back to the old foxpro databases using OLEDB.
I'm suppose to pull all the items in a Sales Orders, and go back into the history database file, and get the total QYT and AMOUNT purchased in the past as well.
I can do the math, but wow it's slow!, and I have an issue at the end with formatting the number with 2 decimal places for the cents. So I'm not sure if I need to fix it in the database call, or try and fix it when presenting the number in the PDF.
So $85.30 appears as $85.3
In the past I have had trouble, but not for years since.
The other one i.FPRICE works fine, so I'm scratching my head on this one.
Here's what I have
SELECT
i.FCUSTNO
, i.FORDQTY
, i.FITEMNO
, i.FDESCRIPT
, i.FPRICE
, (SELECT SUM(s.FSHIPQTY) FROM ARTRS01H.dbf s WHERE s.FCUSTNO = i.FCUSTNO AND s.FITEMNO = i.FITEMNO) AS FSHIPQTY
, (SELECT SUM(s.FAMOUNT) FROM ARTRS01H.dbf s WHERE s.FCUSTNO = i.FCUSTNO AND s.FITEMNO = i.FITEMNO) AS FAMOUNT
FROM SOTRS01.dbf i
WHERE i.FSONO=@FSONO
The reader
If Not (reader.IsDBNull(5)) Then sIRi(rC).FATD_SHIPQTY = reader.GetValue(5)
If Not (reader.IsDBNull(6)) Then sIRi(rC).FATD_TOTAL = reader.GetValue(6)
And in ASP.Net to create a PDF of the Order Confirmation
Dim lbl_item_FATD_TOTAL As Label
lbl_item_FATD_TOTAL = New Label("", 373, currentY, 45, 12, Font.Courier, 9, TextAlign.Right)
lbl_item_FATD_TOTAL.Text = String.Format("{0:c}", sSOI(idx).FATD_TOTAL)
currentPage.Elements.Add(lbl_item_FATD_TOTAL)
Any Suggestions would be cool.

It's an unformatted decimal/double (as should be), until you convert it to a string. Below gives a predictable result:
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0:c}", 3.8));
Console.ReadLine();
There could be two things wrong here - either your formatting isn't applied, or it is formatting correctly. If your formatting is applied, then check out the regional settings in the configuration - if your end-user behaves like I do, then there'll be a non-default value.

I just figured it out!
It was the PDF generator, in which the number was being formatted correctly, but the space I allocated for the data was not wide enough, so somehow it truncated the decimal values after the .
That was a head scratcher that I spent hours on this morning.
But thanks for the response and help, appreciate it.

I have xml files with name space references. If I strip the namespace references from I file, I can read the elements and attributes using xQuery. However, with the namespace references in place, I get no results. I can't figure out how to add the references into the xQuery call.
XML
<clinicaldocument xmlns="urn:hl7-org:v3" xmlns:voc="urn:hl7-org:v3/voc" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<recordtarget>
<patientrole>
<name>
<birthtime value="00000000">
SQL
SELECT
x.value('(patientRole/patient/birthTime/@value)[1]','varchar(50)') as birthDate
FROM @XML.nodes(
'declare namespace xlmns="urn:hl7-org:v3";
declare namespace xlmns:voc="urn:hl7-org:v3/voc";
declare namespace xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
/ClinicalDocument/recordTarget') as Addr (x)

Thanks for the reply/link but that code is for C# and I'm working in SQL unless I'm missing something.
I've never used this site before and haven't figured out the navigation.

No but it is Richards job/privilege as a protector to reduce cross posting, which this may not be.
Sorry to not be of any use - I hate xml.

That suggests that you already have the database created. Delete all the associated files and try again. Although it may be better to spend some time reading the documentation first.

Then you really need to explain the criteria for selecting the various items. As displayed above it is not obvious how you choose which dates.

Try this, changing Modified and TableName to suit.
SELECT D.Dt, max(Modified)MaxDT,MIN(Modified)MinDT
FROM TableName N
INNER JOIN (SELECT DISTINCT CONVERT(DATE,Modified) Dt
FROM TableName ) D ON D.Dt = CONVERT(DATE,N.Modified)
GROUP BY Dt

This sql not getting the correct Out put, it shows like this

If I understand the problem correctly, a start date means the preceeding date in not in the table; an end date is the last successive date from a start date in the table or the start date if there are no successive dates.
So...
2014-01-01 is a start date because 2013-12-31 doesn't exist; 2014-01-01 is the end date because 2014-01-02 doesn't exist.
2014-01-04 is a start date because 2014-01-03 doesn't exist, giving 2014-01-06 as the end date.
And so on...
Given that, provide the SQL statement you are using and someone may help; don't ask them to write everything for you.

How do you expect us to find out code for that transformation if you refuse to tell us the transformation rules?

Hi.
I have just starting learning database so this would be a rather basic question but I can't figure out how to achieve this.
I have a table in database in which there is a column named Date where I store a date( Just the date in the format dd/mm/yy) and there is another column named IntegerColumn in which initially I am storing the integer value 0.
Question is
How to increment the interger value 0 by 1 in IntegerColumn when the date in Date is less then the current date.
Note that the data type for the column storing the date is nvarchar(50) and I am keeping in check the date format i.e dd/mm/yy through code behind in my asp.net application. And additionally I am using SQL Job Scheduling for the query to recur each time SQL Server finds the date less then the current date.
I have done this much...
DECLARE @IncrementValue int
SET @IncrementValue = 1
UPDATE tableA SET IntegerColumn = IntegerColumn + @IncrementValue
WHERE Date < GETDATE()
|

I would recommend that you change the datatype of your date column to datetime - that's what it's there fore!
Also, give your column a more meaningful name then Date - that is a reserved word and may cause you trouble in the future.

Chris thanks for the reply. Chris I infact changed the datatype to date and additionally my column name is actually ReturnDate not Date, I had chose just a random name. But still when I execute the query it does not increment the value in Column. Any more suggesstions ?

|
|
|

If you are using SQL Server, you don't need to run a job to do this - you can have a computed column.
Create a column Called Days (or whatever you want to call it). Do not set a data type. In the computed column formula enter
datediff(d,[DateColumn], Getdate()) - this calculates the number of days between the [DateColumn] and teh current date

You avoided a nasty situation (and comment) by changing to date format in your database, ALWAYS store date in the correct format.
If you go down the path you describe, your are going to have to run the query EVERY day. As Chris suggested use a virtual computed column, I would use a view for this. Do not store the value, a view will automatically calc every time you access it.

Thanks RAH for the reply. Firstly I agree with the format thing. Secondly I want the increment to be totally automatic and should occur without any interference( i mean without accessing it ). I hope I understood you right in this because I have never used a virtual computed column or a view before. Do the ones you have suggested do it automatically. If they do so i'll surely have a try.
