Passing Arrays to Stored Proc - Database Discussion Boards

Hello friends,

I need a optimized query for below condition

CaseName ScriptName ID Status Version
---------------------------
TC1 TS1 1 PASS R1
TC1 TS1 2 FAIL R1
TC1 TS1 3 PASS R1
TC2 TS1 1 PASS R1
TC2 TS1 1 PASS R1
TC3 TS1 1 PASS R1
TC1 TS2 4 PASS R2
TC1 TS3 5 PASS R2

Want to get distinct casename, ScriptName,status,Max(ID),version

Result I need is

TC1 TS1 3 PASS R1
TC2 TS1 1 PASS R1
TC3 TS1 1 PASS R1
TC1 TS2 4 PASS R2
TC1 TS3 5 PASS R2

When i tried using the below queries, both query taking hell lot of time(seems it may stuck). Table contains atleast 7 lakhs(700 thousands) of records.

SELECT DISTINCT CaseName,ScriptName,ID,Status,Version FROM Metrics AS t1 WHERE ID = (SELECT MAX(ID) FROM Metrics WHERE CaseName = t1.CaseName AND ScriptName = t1.ScriptName AND Version = t1.Version)"

SELECT CaseName,ScriptName,ID,Status,Version FROM Metrics WHERE ID IN (SELECT MAX(ID) from Metrics GROUP BY CaseName,ScriptName,Version)"

Thanks in Advance

SELECT CaseName,ScriptName,ID,Status,Version FROM Metrics a
WHERE EXISTS(SELECT CaseName FROM Metrics
WHERE a.CaseName=CaseName AND a.ScriptName=ScriptName AND a.Version = Version
GROUP BY CaseName,ScriptName,Version
HAVING MAX(ID)=a.ID)

I hope it can reduce your time

Is it helpful?

Select distinct CaseName , ScriptName , max(ID),Status ,Version 
from Metrics Where Status = 'PASS'
Group By CaseName , ScriptName ,Status ,Version

Hi vica dianto,

This Query also takng much time.. but much faster than what i posted. I want to insert these result in an access table also. Is the insertion creating the touble or the query itself?

Hi abcurl,

"Status = 'PASS'".. Status can be fail or pass, but if two similar Cases having different status I want the lastest status, ie Case having Laresgt ID. One more thing i want the result to be inserted in an access table also

Thanks alot for the replies

I have a typed dataset. It uses a connection string from the web.config file. I have changed the database name in the connection string, but it is still taking the old database name. How do I get that changed?

-----Have A Nice Day-----

If that's the case, then it's not really using the connection string from your Web.config file Smile | :)

Use the Dataset Designer to make sure you're really referencing your external connection string, and not using a copy saved in the dataset's code.

Can you please guide me as to what needs to be done and how do I change it.

Your problem is that SQL Server does not allow an in clause to be a variable:

TRANSFER_ID IN (@TRANSFER_IDS)

for example will not work. What you need to do is split the variable into a table variable and join to that. Google has loads of examples

folks,

I have a table with column upddate with datatype as datetime.

I updated the table

update table set upddate=getdate()

when i select the values all the upddates are same.

I expected difference in milli seconds to find the last updated record.

can somebody help me out.

Actually, your expectation is not wrong. But the effect can only be seen if there are millions of records. For lesser number of rows, it will reflect the same time.

-----Have A Nice Day-----

Simple really, the update happened so quickly they are all the same time. Also be warned, SQL Server is only accurate (from memory) to a third of a millisecond.

That's a good information to have. Thanks.

Actually, DATETIME in SQL Server is only accurate to about 3 milliseconds. Which is not very accurate at all, in computing terms. There is a new datatype called DATETIME2 in the latest version of SQL Server which is accurate down to nanoseconds. Hundreds of highly trained database experts worked for weeks to come up with that name for the new datatype.

I knew 3 and milliseconds came into, just couldn't remember where. I knew about datetime2 in 2008, but didn't realise so much time had been spent deciding on a name Big Grin | :-D

I have a small problem. I need to convert some rows into columns. Look at the following information.

Original Table:
Ind Sub String
0 1 22
0 2 21
0 3 5.6
0 4 John Rogers
1 1 12
1 2 76
1 3 99.3
1 4 Sarah Peters

Converted to:
Ind val1 val2 val3 val4
0 22 21 5.6 John Rogers
1 12 76 99.3 Sarah Peters

This is similar to a pivot, except that I am not count, averaging, counting, or any other agregating methods. Is there a simple query that will convert this or is this going to be a cursor issue?

Use Max(stringvalue) for your aggregate function (you are after all aggregating 1 value), you can see an example here[^]

Hi is there any tools like sql profiler to capture pl/sql commands for oracle ?
thanks

Try this[^].

Hey am creating a receipt,
i want when the user enter 100 when i query this amount i want the query retrieves 100 and the character hundred.
Another example if the amount was 500250
I want the sql to retrieve Five Hundered Thousand and two hundred fifty

PS i want it to accept deciamls could sql provide this functionality if not how could I???

Here are a couple of links doing something like this.

Hi
I have 2 tables Table1 and Table2 as below

Table1 Table2
col1 col2 col1 col21 col31 col22 col32
1 xx 1 A 0 AA null
2 yy 1 B 0 BB null
3 zz 1 C 0 CC null
1 0 X null XX
1 0 Y null YY

now on joining 2 tables, i want the output as below

Table1.Col1 Table1.col2 Table2.col21 Table2.col31 Table2.col22 Table2.col32
1 xx A X AA XX
1 XX B Y BB YY
1 XX C null CC null

Am not sure whether join is to be used or what? Is there any way i can get the output like this. Table2 will have many other rows takking the col1 of Table1 as primary key.

Regards
Naina

I can't understand your question,where are separated data of Table1 and Table2?

I Love T-SQL
"Don't torture yourself,let the life to do it for you."
If my post helps you kindly save my time by voting my post.

The first table Table1 has a primary key and the foreign key is the column in the second table Table2

Now table 2 has the data like this

foreignkey col1 col2 col3 col4
1 naina 1 null null
1 karri 2 null null
1 xxxxx 3 null null
1 null null aaaa 1
1 null null bbbb 2

now i need the output to be like this

primarykey col1 col2 col3 col4
1 naina 1 aaaa 1
1 karri 2 bbbb 2

1 xxxxx 3 null null

it means that the first columns with null data should be replaced with the last columns with data for that particular primary key value

Regards
Naina

What you posted as a table is not aligned well. A Join can be done this way

Table1

ID    Name         ID_Number
==============================
1     Vuyiswa      810945212121
2     nainakarri   817454212121

Table2

ID    Name         ID_Number       Date_Added
=============================================
1     Vuyiswa      810945212121    2009-09-09
2     nainakarri   867454212121    2009-09-10
2     James        847454212121    2009-09-11
2     Daniel       837454212121    2009-09-12

Now to run a Join for this two tables you do something like this

SELECT * FROM TABLE1 T1
INNER JOIN  TABLE2 T2
ON T1.ID_NUMBER = T2.ID_NUMBER

as you can see i have used a "*" that means you have to select what ever columns you want.

Hope this Helps
