Sql Server 2008R2 Developers version

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. Big Grin | :-D

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.

Solved:Update Multiple Rows of one table on the base of multiple rows in another table

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

SQL

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

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...

SQL

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.

SQL

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.

HI Jorgen
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.

You're right, it seems that the problem is that MySQL isn't supporting the Merge command.
But no problem, they have one of their own instead[^].

Hi Friends,in this post i would like to explain difference between Varchar & NVarchar in SQL Server.

* The data type Varchar and NVarchar are the sql server data types, both will used to store the string values.

Differences :

1 Character Data Type

Varchar - Non-Unicode Data
NVarchar - Unicode Data

2 Character Size

Varchar - 1 byte
NVarchar - 2 bytes

3 Maximum Length

Varchar - 8,000 bytes
NVarchar - 4,000 bytes

4 Storage Size

Varchar - Actual Length (in bytes)
NVarchar - 2 times Actual Length (in bytes)

* The abbreviation for Varchar is Variable Length character String.

* The abbreviation of NVarchar is uNicode Variable Length character String.

Thank You...

Wrong.

It is characters not bytes.

And both types in newer versions allow for a size of 'max' which allow for very large sizes.
