SELECT Column1 & ', ' & Column2 & ', ' & Column3 & ', ' & Column4 FROM TableName WHERE Whatever

Try something along those lines.

Ahhh, you need to ensure that all types are the same.

So if you have some int datatypes along with varchar or char you need to cast the int to a varchar. CAST(IntColumn as varchar(length))

sql server 2000 millisecond issue

Hello,

I was trying to build an application using sql server 2000 and asp.net which would use real time resources, and; I have been facing an issue in which when two transactions occur at the same time, down to hh:mm:ss; then in that case a deadlock occurs and none of the transactions are completed. They remain pending unless u manually goto enterprise manager and change the seconds by making them +/-1

This issue can be reduced considerably if milliseconds can be used hh:mm:ss:fff. Is there a way to implement this?

Deadlocking does not occur because you have a datetime. It occurs because you have two resources which are locking each other.

a loop that increments a value in the selection clause?

Red_Wizard_Shot_The_Food15-Mar-07 2:30

I’m trying to make a loop that will select a count of all entries that have a "TimeIn" value on the date defined by an input parameter with an hour value between x & y.

So the first pass through the loop would select a count of all rows with a TimeIn between 00:00:00 and 01:00:00 on the selected day ...

The second pass will select a count of all rows with a TimeIn between 01:00:00 and 02:00:00.

finally it will return counts for each hour in the day.

This is my first attempt at loops in SQL so any push in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

There is a better way to do this.

SELECT

(SELECT COUNT(TimeIn) FROM TableName WHERE TimeIn BETWEEN '01:00:00' AND '02:00:00') AS 'Time2',

(SELECT COUNT(TimeIn) FROM TableName WHERE TimeIn BETWEEN '03:00:00' AND '04:00:00') AS 'Time4',
(SELECT COUNT(TimeIn) FROM TableName WHERE TimeIn BETWEEN '04:00:00' AND '05:00:00') AS 'Time5',
(SELECT COUNT(TimeIn) FROM TableName WHERE TimeIn BETWEEN '05:00:00' AND '06:00:00') AS 'Time6',

(SELECT COUNT(TimeIn) FROM TableName WHERE TimeIn BETWEEN '10:00:00' AND '11:00:00') AS 'Time11',
(SELECT COUNT(TimeIn) FROM TableName WHERE TimeIn BETWEEN '11:00:00' AND '12:00:00') AS 'Time12',

If you have SQL-Server then

select convert(varchar(13), TimeIn, 120) + ':00', count(*)
from MyTable
where TimeIn between @x and @y
group by convert(varchar(13), TimeIn, 120) + ':00'
order by 1

SQL is best for set operations. You can do loops and cursors but they tend to be slower and are harder to code.

I sort of figured that it wouldn't work. It would be a shame for something to be easy once.

Does linking the SQL Servers only work if they are on the same machine? If not, could you give some keywords I can do some searching with. There's no reason to be humble about my ignorance now Smile | :)

Thanks for your help.

Correct deleting from MS SQL

I have the next problem: in the table with the primary key field "ID" (it is identity with automatic incrementation) when I delete row, the row isn't completely removed - the ID field remain (although it looks like row was removed) - and as a result, next created row has ID wich is equal to ID of previous deleted row + 1. How to delete row from table with autoincrement primary key correctly?

...fear makes people manageable...

When you have an identity column you do not get deleted id's back. If you delete all rows from the table and want to reset the identity back to a value you need to do this:
DBCC CHECKIDENT('TableName', RESEED, 1)

Hope that helps.

Noob question:

If I have several (4-5) computers with SQL Server 2005 Express on them, can they all access the same database file located on a remote/network drive? Would they be able to access it at the same time?

No.

SQL Server opens the file exclusively and controls it completely. Only one instance of SQL Server can open a database file. Also, the files must be on the same physical machine as the SQL Server.

However, you can link SQL Servers together so they can share the data. The SQL Server that owns the file will control all access to the data.

Synchronizing Sql 2000 database. Need help.

JustmeNick14-Mar-07 6:51

14-Mar-07 6:51

Hey everyone,

I am working on this project, mostly database driven.
this is what it is about:- The user interface is install on three computer in different location while the database is kept on another computer in a seperate location, which means all three computers has to connected to this sql server to enter and retrive data. That means if the server goes down.. neither of these location will be able to continue there work.

What i am thinking about now, is to install sql server on all three machine so that data is stored at each location and at the end of each day all the data from the three location would be uploaded or Synchronized to the main database.

Problem.. how do i get all three database to Synchronize with the main database? Do i have to hard code this to happen or is there a feature that does this in sql 2000...

your help would be highly appreciated...

thanks.

Nab
