One of my many bosses came to me today and asked me to write a stored procedure that will email him if a table doesnt get updated every 15mins. The server is Microsoft Server 2003 with MSSQL Server 2000. I've read around 2000 ways to do this. Each as confusing as the next. I'm a college student with little experiance in the matter. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Smile | :)

Have the job reference a table. Set the column(s) in the table to whatever parameters you want.

Why are you including sde.Property_Backup? If p3 is a table, it would be right to write:
Update p3 set p3.Attrib_code = p12.Attrib_code.

How is your table called? p2? If p2 is the name of your table try the following update statement:

<br />
UPDATE p2 SET p2.Attrib_code = p1.Attrib_code <br />
INNER JOIN p1 ON p1.lis_key = p2.lis_key<br />
WHERE Substring(p2.func_key,1,5) = 'GEOSS' AND P1.active = 1

Help with this Complecated Query

hi all

i will try by all means to Explain my Problem. i have records that Mach with a Field named "Lis_key" ,and differ in a Field named "Func_key".

Lis_key =========Attrib_code===============Func_key======
======================================================
01424545        1212033993               PV000000
01424545             Null                GEOSS001
01424545             Null                GEOSS002
01424545             Null                GEOSS003

.

Now from the Above table, i call records that have Func_key "Parents" and Records that has Func_key "Children". and in my table there are many Parents that have no Children. Am interested in those that have Children. As you can see the Attrib_code of Children is Null, i have this query that Find the Parents that has Children. and its like this

[CODE]
select p1.Attrib_code,p1.Lis_key
from sde.property_Backup p1
where p1.func_key = 'PV000000'
and exists (select 1
from sde.property_Backup p2
where p2.lis_key = p1.lis_key
and substring(p2.func_key,1,5)='GEOSS' And
P1.aCTIVE =1)
[/CODE]

Lis_key ========Attrib_code========Func_key======
=================================================
01424545        1212033993         PV000000
01424545        1215035993         PV000000
01424545        3599345445         PV000000
01424545        5035934544         PV000000

.
and now as you above, table this Parents have Children with a Fun_key that is like "GEOSS", and they are null. i want to Copy a Attrib_code of a Parent to a Child as long as the Lis_key as the same. and the Final results should be like this

Lis_key ========Attrib_code=========Func_key======
=================================================
01424545        1212033993         PV000000
01424545        1212033993         GEOSS001
01424545        1212033993         GEOSS002
01424545        1212033993         GEOSS003

.
No more Nulls for Attrbi_code for GEOSS, So i need an update Statement for the Children.

Thanks

Select Distinct question

JohnnyHax31-Jan-08 20:07

31-Jan-08 20:07

I have a table with 5 columns of client information:

Id
FirstName
LastName
SocialSecurityNumber
AppointmentDate

A client can have more than 1 record.

I need a list of unique clients (Select Distinct FirstName, LastName, SocialSecurityNumber From Clients) which of course works fine.

The problem is that I need the Id field in the query so that I can join the results with other tables, and of course when I add the Id field to the query I get duplicates.

I am fairly new to SQL. I know how to write code that will loop through a datatable or whatever, but I really want to find a way to do this with a simple SQL query. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You really need to normalise the table - get rid of the appointment date field so that there's only one record per client, otherwise you don't know which of the possible IDs to join onto the other tables.

Re: Select Distinct question

Remove the AppointmentDate column, then create a second table that stores just the appointments and an identifier. Then use a Join statement.

"A client can have more than 1 record" is about the worst thing a database can say.

I STRONGLY advise you to get a book on database design, find a beginners book and at least get the principles. You are committing one of the most basic errors in data design and if you do not get the basics you are going to create a nightmare for yourself and the poor sod who has to fix it.

Trigger on date change?

Harvey Saayman31-Jan-08 18:54

31-Jan-08 18:54

Is it posible to write a trigger for a SQL db that fires on a date change?

i need to log the communications between an app and a palm scaner, but this would become one huge table within months. the idea is to only keep the latest 30 days of records in that table. so the trigger has to fire every day, check the date on the entries and delete it if its over 30 days old.

Thanx

you shuld look into using a windows service that would run on the server that has that database. that Service should run at say 12am each night and delete the records as necessary

hope it helps

How to save records as individual files & eliminate double \\

Snowman5831-Jan-08 18:21

31-Jan-08 18:21

We are trying to create a series of XML scripts from a Mysql database query. We are having two issues that we are not smart enough to figure out & could use some help;

1) We need to save each row of the query result as a separate xml file i.e. running the query may generate 100 results - each row being a full XML string which needs to be saved as a separate file. Is there a method to accomplish that goal?

2) Embedded in the XML script are DOS file paths with back slash separation. When we save the query result, we end up with double back slashes because Mysql uses the back slash as the esc char. Is it possible to get a single back slash w/o needing to externally edit the file?

Thanks for any suggestions!

set @month = 'feb'<br />
