Adding, Deleting rows from Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition

Hi,

I'm a complete novice concerning SQL Server (Express Edition)

I'm trying to Add or Delete rows froma VB 2005 Express Function or Sub. While the program is running everything is ok. Except when restarted added records are gone and deleted records are back.

Have i missed an option during installation?

Thx,

Steven

Your installation of SQL Server 2005 Express may be operating in 'Snapshot Isolation' mode. Refer to Books Online for more details.

You may also find this series of instructional videos to be useful.

Make sure that you did not specify the datafile for "Always copy", if you did this, the file will always be copied from scratch upon new start of the Visual Studio debug session.

Adding vertical space between rows

I am trying to create a mailing labels report but can't seem to get any vertical space between the rows. I see a cellpadding setting but nothing equivalent to cellspacing. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks.Try adding a text box, turning off can increase and can decrease in properties, under advanced, choose format, and work with the 'amount of space to leave on each side of report item.
Also try adding characters into the box, and set the color to be the same as background so that it is invisible.

Adding values of rows in ms sql 2000

I am building a website in asp.net 1.1 with vb.net 2003 which will have the standings of the teams in our baseball league. Below is the database table I have created.

ID(int) home_team (nvarchar) away_team(nvarchar) win_teampf(nvarchar) lose_teampf(nvarchar)

1 Elmwood Murdock 7 2
2 Louisville Manley 4 3
3 Manley Elmwood 9 8

ID is the primary key. What I am attempting to do is add each instance of Elmwood from the win column to output the total number of wins from Elmwood and do the same for Elmwood in the losing team to output the total number of losses. The result will look something like this:

Elmwood: 1 Win 1 Loss. .500

Thanks for your reply.

I don't understand how to determine which team lost and which team won. You have columns for the name of the home team, the name of the away team, the winner's score and the loser's score. From what I can see, there is no indication if the home team or the away team won.|||

Oh, that's true. I can add two more columns. One for the losing team and one for the winning team. Thanks for pointing that out. However, I am still confused on how to add the total number of times a team is in the win column and have that value inside a datagrid.

|||

In SQL, you can sum up the wins and losses. If you can modify your table first with WINS and LOSSES columns, it should be a strsight SQL operation.

Something looks like this:

SELECT TeamID, TeamName, SUM(WINColumn) as Wins, SUM(LOSSColumn) AS Losses , (SUM(WINColumn)/SUM(LOSSColumn)) AS GameRatio

FROM YourTable

GROUP BY TeamID, TeamName

|||Thanks for your help. I appreciate it. I attempted this and was unable to link it to my datagrid. Is this a function I need to call from within sql and then pass to the datagrid? Thanks for your help. I haven't been doing asp.net for very long and this forum has helped a lot.|||You can treat the SUM fields as you would to other columns in your datagrid. In your case WINSColumn, LOSSESColumn and GameRatio are your new columns. If you still have problem, post your code here.

Adding to outputs together to retrieve the top(10) - Is it possible?

Hi There,

I have been struggling day and night with the creation of a store procedure due to not being able to retieve the rows I need for SUM and AVG functions.

I have two tables ('actions' & 'incident_types') which both have a score value for each record. In my database, I have reports that contain both action codes and incident_type codes based on a personnel_code.

In simple terms I'm trying to do the following:-

For all reports, find each personnel member and thier attached incident_types and action codes and then, for each score from the actions and incident_types tables, create the SUM of the 'combined' scores.

I have successfully retrieved the output for the scores individually but I need the TOP(10) of the combined output.....

I'm currently using to seperate queries as follows :--

--This gives me the incident type output...... Creating the 'Volume' column which is the total Score for incidetn_types

SELECT Top (@.Number) Personnel_details.personnel_code, Personnel_details.personnel_forename, Personnel_details.personnel_Surname, sum(incident_types.type_score) as 'Volume', avg(incident_types.type_score) as 'Average' INTO 'Incident_Scores' from Report_header

JOIN incident_types on incident_types.type_code = report_header.report_incident_Code

JOIN report_basedon on report_basedon.report_code = report_header.report_code

JOIN personnel_details on personnel_details.personnel_code = report_basedon.personnel_code

WHERE (report_header.report_date >= @.fromDate and report_header.report_date <= @.toDate)

AND (report_header.report_time >= @.fromTime and report_header.report_time <= @.toTime)

AND report_basedon.personnel_code <> 0

AND report_header.record_status=@.recordStatus

group by Personnel_details.personnel_code, Personnel_details.personnel_forename, Personnel_details.personnel_Surname

-- I then use the following to get the total of all action scores, again in the 'Volume' column

SELECT Top (@.Number) Personnel_details.personnel_code, Personnel_details.personnel_forename, Personnel_details.personnel_Surname, sum(actions.action_score) as 'Volume', AVG(actions.action_score) as 'Average' from profile

JOIN actions on actions.action_code = profile.action_code

JOIN report_header on report_header.report_code = profile.incident_ID

JOIN personnel_details on personnel_details.personnel_code = profile.personnel_code

WHERE (report_header.report_date >= @.fromDate and report_header.report_date <= @.toDate)

AND (report_header.report_time >= @.fromTime and report_header.report_time <= @.toTime)

AND personnel_details.personnel_code <> 0

AND report_header.record_status=@.recordStatus

AND profile.record_status=@.recordStatus

group by Personnel_details.personnel_code, Personnel_details.personnel_forename, Personnel_details.personnel_Surname

So my question is - How can I get the sum(incident_types.type_score) + sum(actions.action_score) and then get the TOP(10) rows?

Is it possible to output these 2 result to a new table and then join the new tables?

Thanks for any assistance, this is really draining me at the moment..... :-/

Thank you so much for your reply this has really made my day!

I forgot to mention that the action record is not always present but the incident record is. Therefore I made the actions_data join = 'Left Outer Join' (see code below)... This gives me a problem in that when the action_data record contains 'NULL' the Volume is also 'NULL' - is it possible to make NULL = 0 [zero] when there is no action record?

Thanks again (see code and output).....

observations

1. since actions_data subquery may be missing [i.e. OUTER JOIN] you should use this line instead

, incident_Data.Volume + ISNULL(actions_data.Volume,0) as Total_Volume

, incident_Data.Average + ISNULL(actions_data.Average,0) as Total_Average

2. the Total_Average calculation is flawed, e.g.
4 rows of incident_Data with average of 50 and 1 row of actions_data with average of 20 would yield a Total_Average of 70

when what you probably wanted was 44 (or 35 for simplicity if you don't care about weighting)

Thank you Dick, for both points, your absolutly correct. I was so concerned with not being ale to extract the data that I hadn't thought this though. You've propably saved me a lot more pain!

Just for completeness, I had to go on and resolve a divide by zero error when calculating the final averages etc etc and I found a very useful link http://www.sql-server-helper.com/error-messages/msg-8134.aspx which shows 3 ways of dealing with this error.

Thanks again for everyones help - I can now get on with developing the program!!!!

Yes. ISNULL will fix the issue... If the average is your issue the following query might be a best one..

Not sure why we need a TOP here.. It wont give any performance gain.

adding some rows to a select

Hi folks,

I've a sql query problem I was wondering if you all had a quick and
dirty solution for. I've a query:

Select code, value from table_a where date in
(2004) and a_code in ('1000','2000') and b_code in ('01000','02000')

This returns a table that looks like:

A_CODE B_CODE VALUE
-- -- --

1000 01000 $500
1000 02000 $750

What I'd like to see is:

A_CODE B_CODE VALUE
-- -- --

1000 01000 $500
1000 02000 $750
2000 01000 $0
2000 02000 $0

Any suggestions on how to rewrite my query so the results show A_CODE
2000 with a VALUE of 0 or null?

Thank much in advance!

CREATE TABLE a_code (a_code char(4) NOT NULL
CREATE TABLE b_code (b_code char(5) NOT NULL

go
INSERT a_code (a_code) VALUES ('1000')
INSERT a_code (a_code) VALUES ('2000')
INSERT b_code (b_code) VALUES ('01000')
INSERT b_code (b_code) VALUES ('02000')
go
SELECT a.a_code, b.b_code, coalesce(t.value, 0)
FROM (a_code a
CROSS JOIN b_code b)
LEFT JOIN table_a t ON a.a_code = t.a_code
AND b.b_code = t.b_code
ABD t.date = '2004'

Here I am handling a_code and b_code in the same way, so you will
get output for missing b_codes as well.

Adding rows together

Hello,
I'm having trouble finding a site with basic introduction to SQL Reporting
Services. I'm using the VS.nET reporting services IDE to build some reports
and I have a few questions.
How do I SUM two "report items" on my report? Like textbox12.value +
textbox13.value. I know how to do it with the "Fields" on my report but not
actualy report items.
Thanks
nTry using the "=ReportItems!Textbox12.value + ReportItems!Textbox13.value".

Adding rows to Oracle of MsAccess from T-SQL?

Hi everyone,

I'd like to know how to update/insert rows to sources different than Microsoft.

Should I use OpenDataSource(), OpenRowSet() functions or they are deprecated with Sql25k?

Thanks in advance for your time and for your inputs,

Both OpenDataSource and OpenRowSet can be used for inserting and updating data in data sources other than SQL Server. They are both supported by SQL Server 2005. You can also use linked servers.

Please tell me if you need further information.

Best regards,
Sami Samir

If you are moving millions of rows of data, I found the fastest way to move from Access or SQL Server to ORACLE was via an intermediate text file.

A data load that would have taken around 10 hours to move one table via an ODBC connection from SQL Server to ORACLE took only a few minutes via text export from SQL Server, and SQL*Loader with ORACLE. (I don't know if you consider a few hundred megabytes a large amount of data. I consider it "typical" of a single table. I had many such tables to transfer.)

Another problem I ran into was mixed-case table names that could be created in ORACLE by uploads from SQL Server. My recollection is that you need to surround the names with double-quotes, ", to get ORACLE to recognize the tables with the mixed-case names.

I don't recall trying UPDATE or INSERT statements. I always logged in to ORACLE to drop the tables that I needed to create to perform the data uploads when I used an ODBC connection for "small" tables (with only tens of thousands of rows).

I hope others here may have more direct experience with the UPDATE and INSERT issues you are contemplating.

Adding new column fields into a big table issue

I have an existing table which has about 70 columns with 3 million rows in it. I was asked to add additional 50 new columns into the table. I have tried to add them in through the Enterprise manager design table but experiencing some problems. The adding process seemed never going to be end. Is there any good efficient way to do it? I appreciate the help!

J8You're trying to add 150 million pieces of data (3 million rows times 50 columns) to your table, which now has 210 million pieces (3 million rows times 70 columns). That is significant growth (about 70%), so it will probably take quite a while.

If the columns are all NULL-able, then I'd create a second "child" table that had the primary key from the first table and all of the new columns in it. That would allow you to populate them much more gracefully, possibly in stages.

If you really need to add these columns to the existing table because of Referential Integrity issues or due to other reasons, then I'd strongly recommend declaring downtime (so you can force the users off of the system), then making the changes from Query Analyzer using the ALTER TABLE command. It still won't be fast, but it will be faster than any other method for doing this kind of job.

-PatP|||Pat,

For whatever reason, I have to stick those new columns into this big table. You can consider this table as kind of 'feed' table.

Thanks for the tips.

J8|||You should not have problems adding 50 columns providing they all allow NULL. If not then they must have a default, and you may bring your database down very easily (which what I suspect has happened) because every row must be updated with default value for that column or columns.|||You can script the addition of columns and run it from query analyzer

alter table mytable add col71 int null, col72 int null, ...

as long as all of the columns are nullable this should happen instantly. I would expect EM to add them instantly too unless there is some difference between the default ANSI settings of the DB, Table, and your EM Session.

Adding INDEX causes DEADLOCKS?

I have a very small table (50 rows, 50 columns).
I have 4 servers using the table:
1 server updates the table ("UPDATE table SET col1='', col2='',
LastUpdate=GetDate()").. about 20 rows updated a second.
3 servers pull data ("SELECT * FROM table Where
LastUpdate>(lastrequest) and COL3>0") the 3 servers pull data about 6
times a second each.
Prior to last week, i did not have the lastupdate column. but it
obviously made sense to me to add it (why pull everything every 100ms
when you can only pull what you need via the LastUpdate, maybe 3-4
rows at a time). so i add the lastupdate column and make an index on
it.
now as soon as i run it, every 2-4 minutes i get a deadlock (!).
execution path is showing a bookmark lookup with index seek because i
have two conditions in the where clause: "lastupdate>(time
oflastrequest) and COL3>0". i have tried making an index based upon
both lastUpdate,Col3 but the results are the same (lots of deadlocks)
I have removed the index, kept the lastupdate column, same queries,
and everything works fine -- except, of course, that it is doing a
table scan for every lookup. the table will be growing soon and i
will be in trouble. so i need some help here, any ideas?

You update the whole table every time? Why?

Easiest way to solve these problems is with more locking. I know, it sounds
weird, but more locking will separate the deadlocking processes and properly
serialize them. I suggest in your Update statement add a TABLOCKX hint.
That will exclusively lock the entire table for the duration of the update.
This will also give you more predictable results as the table will only be
read when it is in a completely consistent state between updates.

|||The deadlock is due to that for the 3 server pulling data, it needs to get

Adding Identity Column to BIG table

I've got a table with 36+ million rows. I've been asked to modify the
table and add in an identity column. The code I used caused SQL to
lock up and it maxed out the log files. :)

The code I used is:

Begin Transaction
Alter Table ODS_DAILY_SALES_POS
ADD ODS_DAILY_SALES_POS_ID BigInt NOT NULL IDENTITY (1,1)
Commit

Is there a way to break up the code? Maybe only do a few million
records at a time? Or is there a way to do this without locking
anything up?

Thanks,
Jennifer>> I've been asked to modify the table and add in an identity column.

Do you have any idea why anyone would want to do this in the first
place? The idiot does not seem to understand that IDENTITY has no
meaning in a data model?|||[posted and mailed, please reply in news]

The alternative is to rename the table and all its constraints,
create the table and new with constraints, triggers and indexes
and insert the data into that table. You can then do a loop which
takes a reasonable number of rows at a time. That requires, however,
that you somehow, can identify which rows you have copied and which
you have not. An advice is to perform the loop on the clustered of
the table. Once data has been copied, move referencing foreigh keys
to point to the new table, and then drop the old table.

The advantage of this approach is that the strain on the log is less,
particularly, if you permit yourself to switch to simple recovery
while you are running the move.

Note: above I said that you should recreate triggers and indexes. It
may be a good idea to do that after the copying is completed, but
just don't forget it. (You should package everything in a script
and first test in database where the table is smaller.)

A variation is to bulk out the data, and then bulk it in when the
table has no indexes. If you have bulk_logged recovery, this load will
be very fast. Personally, I prefer to create the clustered index first,
before I load, since building the index takes its time too.

Yet a variation is to use SELECT INTO (with which you can use
the IDENTITY function). SELECT INTO is also minimally logged when
you have bulk_logged recovery.

Finally, you have set your colunm to bigint. With 36 million rows, you
have a long way to go, before you 31 bits become too few for you.

Adding hyperlinks to rows in a table report

Is it possible to add hyperlinks to a table report.
I have been asked to add a link for each result in a table report to a
specific webpage.
I build the link to the webpage using queried data. (i.e.
="www.mywebsite.com/mypage/transientkey=" & fields.transientkey.value &
"&CompanyNum=" & fields.companynum.value & "&")
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your help.
--
SamyraUse the jump to URL action (right click on the control, properties,
navigation tab).
This shows how to make it open up in a new window. Also in this case I am
opening a report but you would just put in yours. I suggest using the
expression builder so you get the appropriate fields properly.
="javascript:void(window.open('" & Globals!ReportServerUrl &
"?/IT/HowTo+switch+between+InTouch.doc','_blank'))"
Also, you might try to first hard code the values and then modify the
expression to use the field values.

Adding footer of matrix reporting service

Hi EMartinez ,
A matrix table object cannot have a footer but if someone needs to put totals for all rows, he needs to right-click on the section of matrix table where it says "Rows" and then click "Subtotal" option. This would add a new row in the end of matrix table and bring totals automatically - no extra work needed.
I think you are talking about a simple data table object - yes that has this option.

This would add a new row in the end of matrix table and bring totals automatically - no extra work needed.

Actually, what you are referring to is the same thing that I was
explaining.

Adding extra rows to Matrix

Hello, I am creating a report with a matrix in it, and I need to add a couple
extra lines at the end, so the user can print and add in info as needed. Is
there any way to do this? thanks

The easiest way to do this is to either add a couple textbox controls
below the matrix control -or- add a table control below the matrix
control. Make sure to not overlap the controls and place the matrix
control and textbox controls/etc inside a rectangle. Hope this helps.

know how many columns it is going to be until runtime. If I add textboxes or
a table underneath, the columns will not match up. Any other ideas? Is there
a way to tie the table columns to the columns in the matrix'

You're welcome. Not unless you use a second matrix control below the
first one that is tied to the same dataset and hide the data. Hope
this helps further.

Adding Database Fields Dynamically To the Crystal Reports

I have a problem Where in i need to show 24 sizes in one session so i have sliced it to 3 rows 8 columns each , it is not necessary that all the 24 fields should contain data so if there are only 8 sizes i have to show 8 sizes and i have to reduce the size of the section to one row . I am able to suppress the fields in the section but iam unable to reduce the size of the section to one row . so i want to add the fields dynamically to the session instead of drag and drop using ASP.NET(VB) .
Please can any one help me .
Its very very urgent.Could you be using a crosstab? Placing rows and columns i seperate table columns and then printing them in a crosstab.
