Hi All,
I have a situation that I have 3 tables like TabA, TabB and TabC, I have to insert into TabC by using a select statement from TabB but one value I have to take from Scope_Identity from inserting a row into TabA.
So my Insert should look like below.
Insert into TabC (Col1, Col2, TabAId)
Select Col1, Col2, (Insert into TabA(CurrentDate) Values (DateTime) Scope_Identity) FROM TabB.
So the Scope_Identity of the TabA insert should be used in the Select.
Do we have any way to do it? Any sort of advice, code snippet and link is greatly helpful. Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Abdul Aleem

You can't embed an INSERT statement within a SELECT statement.
Try something like this:
DECLARE @TabAId int;
INSERT INTO TabA (CurrentDate) VALUES (GetUtcDate());
SET @TabAId = Scope_Identity();
INSERT INTO TabC (Col1, Col2, TabAId)
SELECT Col1, Col2, @TabAId FROM TabB;

This works if we have only one TabAId, but we need multiple TabAIds like different TabAIds for every row that SELECT Col1, Col2, @TabAId FROM TabB; generates, thats my problem. Can you help me pls?
Even if I can use Insert withing Select that's also fine only thing if I can retrieve that Scope_Identity in selected rows.
Thanks,
Abdul Aleem

Or even if I can do it in the following way but I am getting errors in the below query, it is saying its not able to recognize the columns, htge.[Name], htge.[Description]. Can I get those columns into Table variable some how? It will fix all my problems.
DECLARE @MyTableVar table (DocumentListId int, [Name] varchar(max), [Description] varchar(max));
INSERT INTO dbo.DocumentList (CreatedDate,CreatedBy,ModifiedDate,ModifiedBy)
OUTPUT INSERTED.DocumentListId,
htge.[Name],
htge.[Description]
INTO @MyTableVar
SELECT GETDATE() ,CURRENT_USER,GETDATE(),CURRENT_USER, htge.[Name], htge.[Description]
FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI', 'Server=xxx;UID=xx;PWD=xxx',
'SELECT * FROM WEB_WebAdmin.dbo.HealthTopicGroup where HealthTopicGroupId < 45') as htge;
SELECT * frOM @MyTableVar

You could use an onInsert trigger spit to insert the new records into TabC.
Caveat an error on the trigger is a bitch to locate in the future.

I just discovered what is a big problem with the order that child rows are retrieved from datatables created from a SQLCe database.
Definition
'Front Inner Camber Link
Dim arrFrInnerCamb() As RCCarV2DataSet.FrInnerCambRow
Dim FrInnerCambRow As DataRow
The child rows are retrieved and stored in an array of DataRows.
'Get the array of alternate Inner Camber Positions
arrFrInnerCamb = FrSuspRow.GetChildRows("FrSuspension_FrInnerCamb")
The problem is the order the values are stored in the Sql database are not always stored in the order of the primary key as I expect. This problem only occurs after deleting rows from the database.
To correct this problem I would like to just sort the arrFrInnerCamb by the primary key and all will be good. Unfortunately can't figure out a simple way to do this. I can use a brute force and ignorance method but figure there must be an easier way. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Try storing the child rows in a DataTable, you will then have all the manipulating capabilities inherent in the datatable and sorting will be simple.

Thanks I'm trying that. I was just hoping for an easy way to sort the DataRow Array so I don't have to do a major program restructure.

Using the array of datarows is wrong, so you will benefit from the refactor 
You could sort the datarows BEFORE you load them into the array!

How to optimize this query.
SELECT share_id, page_id, parent_title, title, share_type, shared_on,
IF(FIND_IN_SET('".$_POST["student_id"]."_Y', students), 'Y', 'N') AS is_viewed
FROM dash_sharing
WHERE book_id = :book_id AND
( FIND_IN_SET('".$_POST["student_id"]."_N', students)
OR FIND_IN_SET('".$_POST["student_id"]."_Y', students))
AND (page_id, shared_on) IN (SELECT page_id, MAX(shared_on)
FROM dash_sharing AS mtab
WHERE
book_id = :book_id AND ( FIND_IN_SET('".$_POST["student_id"]."_N', students)
OR FIND_IN_SET('".$_POST["student_id"]."_Y', students))
GROUP BY page_id)
ORDER BY FIELD(is_viewed, 'N','Y') ASC, shared_on DESC

I am building a system in asp.net C# with an Sql Server DB.
I have split the work into separate tasks.
I have put a timeline of around 41 days. The requirements are as below.
Can anyone say how long it would take and if my timeline is too long?
1. Requirements Gathering and Associated Documentation - Requirements Specification/Functional Specification and Agreement with Stakeholder(s)/Users - 4 days
2 Create DB and Tables and 4 tables - 4 days
3 Create Login Form - 2 days
4 Create Menu - 2 days
5 Create Initial Input Form - containing all the fields that need to be recorded inititally and the 2 calculated fields - 5 days
6 Create “Update Single File” form - Allow user to update this file and write it back to the table in the DB - 3 days
7 Create “Update Multiple Files” form - Display multiple files maybe based criteria selected from dropdown and allow user to possibly do a bulk update of the records - 4 days
8 Create “Add Staff” form and have it writing to the Staff table - 2 days
9 Create “LogOut” form - 1 day
10 Create “Reports”. This would involve creating reports that would have the Grouping of the data in the various different scenarios e.g. Total for Invoice, Total for Trans Number. A report for Audit trail may be needed also. These reports may need to be created in SSRS reporting. - 5 days
11 Audit Trail - Create a record in the audit table each time a record has been updated. Maybe display this audit trail in the “Update Single File” form - 3 days
12 Create Stored Procedures in DB to carry out the above functions - 3 days
13 Carry out functional reviews with Stakeholder(s)/Users - 1 day
14 Carry out Unit testing - 1 day
15 UAT with Stakeholder(s)/Users and Sign Off of System - 1 day

That really is like asking "how long is a piece of string?"  Only you will know if you can actually achieve this timeline.
Some observations from my own experiences though
Step 1 - if you get "awkward" stakeholders this step could well take longer than 4 days (actual time spent or elapsed!)
Step 2 - seems a little long as you appear to already have an idea of the tables required - if you're including all of the admin hoops to jump through with DBA's or other control mechanisms I would make it clear in the estimate
Step 14 - seems a bit light, but some of the builds do seem a bit long.
Step 15 - see my earlier comments about stakeholders! I've never run UAT in less than 3 days (and even that was a struggle)
If this timeline is going out to the stakeholders double everything and make it clear whether or not this is a "working days elapsed" timeline or a "working hours spent"

Hi!
On SQL server, when I try to save value 0.4569 to a decimal(9,3) column, the value is truncated. It becomes 0.456. It there a way how to change this behavior of sql server? I would like such numbers to be rounded (to 0.457 in my example) instead of truncating them. Is there some global setting for this?
Thanks!

Try the round function[^]

Yes, I can use ROUND function, off course.
But I would like to change the behavior globally so I will not need to use ROUND function everytime I will need to stop sql server from truncating numbers.
|
|
|
|
|
Only setting that affects rounding that I know of is "NUMERIC_ROUNDABORT". It says "rounded" and not "truncated" in the documentation[^].

You could always add 0.0005 to your numbers before saving them...

I have data in a Sql Server DB. I want to put a basic front-end on this. The front-end would include a form for adding and updating records and having some reports generated from it also.
Would Asp.net or Access be the best and quickest to develop front-end in this scenario?
|
|
|
|
|
That would depend entirely on your current skill set or ability to learn new stuff.
Personally, I would use C# winforms or WPF for the presentation layer as the fact you are considering Access as a front end rules out ASP.net as that would imply an on-line solution.
I wouldn't touch Access for the GUI with a very long barge pole.
|

|

How many people will use the front-end, and are they located in the same office? Will all your users be working on computers within a single LAN, or are they working from locations that are geographically distributed? How much control do you have over your users' deployment environment?
A Microsoft Access front-end is almost certain to be the simplest and fastest solution to implement, but it comes with some limitations that are important to consider.
I generally prefer ASP.NET because then the UI is accessible to anyone with a web browser. This makes the application easier to distribute and update - but it is likely to be more difficult and more time-consuming to implement.

id_no first_name last_name

2 Y ABC
3 M pqr
4 N PQR
Here is the query I am running :
SELECT STUFF((select stuff1 from(SELECT distinct T1.id_no 'sequenceno', ('/' + Col2) + ',' + STUFF((SELECT STUFF2 FROM(SELECT distinct T2.id_no 'sequenceno' ,'-' + substring(first_name, 1, 1)'STUFF2' FROM Table2 AS T2 WHERE T2.last_name = T1.last_name AND T2.id_no = 1234 AND T2.id_no = T1.id_no) dt2
order BY dt2.sequenceno
FOR XML PATH(''),TYPE
).value('.', 'varchar(MAX)'), 1, 1, '') 'stuff1'
FROM Table1 AS T1) dt
order BY dt.sequenceno
FOR XML PATH(''),TYPE).value('.', 'VARCHAR(MAX)'), 1, 1, '') AS Result
OUTPUT - ABc,X-Y/ABc,X-Y/pqr,M-N/PQR,M-N
Desired OUTPUT - ABc,X-Y/pqr,M-N
Can you pls help me on this ?

This is not a good question. The SQL code is mostly unreadable and there is no description of what the desired output should be. The example desired output does not describe the format well enough.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
