Dear colleagues,

I use SQL Server 2012. The exact version info is:

Microsoft SQL Server 2012 - 11.0.2100.60 (X64)   Feb 10 2012 19:39:15   Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation  Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.2 <X64> (Build 9200: ) (Hypervisor) 

I am flabbergasted. I try to drop a database, but that won't work because it says it is in use. But it isn't. I think I should no what to do, but actually I don't. Below, the SQL I use. Per statement, in the comment below, you can see the result. I cancelled the 'SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE' after 4 minutes because nothing happened. This probably points to the real problem, but I cannot think what it is.

Kind Regards,

Chris Sijtsma

In my view I have multiple joins and one of the join is on many to many relation. So when I join this table the number of records increases drastically and to resolve it i have used case statement which helps in filtering the unwanted records. But this whole filtering of unwanted records is creating the query very slow.

Here is the basic structure of my query.

WITH PeriodCTE   AS (     SELECT PeriodId,            StartTime,          Name,
           LEAD(StartTime, 1) OVER (ORDER BY TimePeriodId) [EndTime]   FROM
 Period WHERE Active = 1 )
 Select * From (Select 
         Id, 
         Name, 
         Period,
         CASE      WHEN CAST(B.OpenTimestamp AS TIME) BETWEEN '00:00:00.0000000'           
                            AND (SELECT MIN(P.Starttime) FROM Period P 
                            INNER JOIN DepartmentPeriod DP ON P.PeriodId = DP.PeriodId 
                            WHERE DepartmentId = B.DepartmentId) 
                               AND CTE.StartTime = (SELECT MAX(T.Starttime) FROM 
                                                      Period P

                                                    WHERE DepartmentId = B.DepartmentId)

Hi, I have a table which has multiple Columns say FName, LName, City, XMLFile

FName is type varchar(20), LName is type varchar (20), City is type varchar(20)

XMLFile is of type XML.

Is there a easier way to insert or update the complete XML file  in SQL column ?

Please advise

Reason101

see the code

	SELECT @columns =  
	COALESCE(@columns + ', ','') + QUOTENAME([Name])  
	FROM  
	   (  
	 SELECT e.ID, ISNULL(Period,'') [Name]        
	 From tblCalenderMaster AS d INNER JOIN        
	 tblCalenderDetail AS e ON d.ID = e.MasterID        
	 Where e.IsDeleted!='Y' AND d.TickerID=TickerID AND e.Period IN (SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT [Data] FROM dbo.SplitStringToTable(@Periods,',') ORDER BY ID)     
	 Group By e.ID, Period   
	   ) AS B  
	ORDER BY B.Name 

this line return SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT [Data] FROM dbo.SplitStringToTable(@Periods,',') ORDER BY ID

1Q 2020 and when i print @columns then saw it has same column name twice like [1Q 2020],[1Q 2020]

what to fix in the above code ?

i know stuff replace character from start and end position but why it is used in dynamic pivot? please discuss with example. thanks

 SET @sql = N'        
 Select Ticker,Section,LineItem,XFundCode,OrderID ,'+STUFF(@columns,1,0,'')+'        
 From (        
  SELECT b.Ticker, b.Section, c.LineItem,XFundCode,OrderID,bg.[Values] Val, e.Period [Name]        
  FROM tblTicker_Bogey AS bg INNER JOIN        
   tblSectionLineItemTemplate AS a ON bg.SectionID=a.SectionID AND bg.LineItemID=a.LineItemID INNER JOIN         
   tblSectionTemplate AS b ON a.SectionID = b.SectionID INNER JOIN        
   TblLineItemTemplate AS c ON a.LineItemID = c.ID INNER JOIN        
   tblCalenderMaster AS d ON b.Ticker = d.TickerID INNER JOIN        
   tblCalenderDetail AS e ON d.ID = e.MasterID        
  WHERE (bg.[Values] IS NOT NULL) AND  (a.Active = ''A'') AND (e.IsDeleted <> ''Y'') AND b.Ticker='''+@TickerID+''' AND bg.PeriodID=e.ID        
   AND bg.MasterID=d.ID        
 )X PIVOT (MAX(Val) FOR [Name] IN ('+STUFF(@columns,1,0,'')+')) AS p        
 ORDER BY OrderID       
 ' 

here i create a sample scenario where i need to order dynamic column by orderid see the code.

create table #temp
(
    OrderID int,
    category varchar(3),
    amount money
)

insert into #temp values (1, 'ABC', 1000.00)
insert into #temp values (2, 'DEF', 500.00)
insert into #temp values (3, 'GHI', 800.00)
insert into #temp values (2, 'DEF', 700.00)
insert into #temp values (1, 'ABC', 1100.00)

DECLARE @cols  AS NVARCHAR(MAX)='';
DECLARE @query AS NVARCHAR(MAX)='';

SELECT @cols = @cols + QUOTENAME(category) + ',' FROM (select distinct category from #temp ) as tmp
select @cols = substring(@cols, 0, len(@cols)) --trim "," at end

set @query = 
'SELECT * from 
(
    select  OrderID,amount, category from #temp
) src
pivot 
(
    max(amount) for category in (' + @cols + ')
) piv ORDER BY OrderID'

execute(@query)
drop table #temp

I would like to update all the columns in my table to remove the speech marks from the fields.

the below script will update on field

UPDATE tbtest
SET [column 1] = REPLACE([column 1], '"', '')

I've written the below script to out all possible updates available from the columns, but I'm stuck on the last bit of the REPLACE script.  any help on this.

SELECT 'UPDATE tbtest SET ' + COLUMN_NAME + ' = REPLACE(' + COLUMN_NAME + ''
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'tbtest '
AND IS_NULLABLE = 'YES' AND DATA_TYPE IN ('char', 'nchar', 'varchar', 'nvarchar')

I have a database with several tables.

On some of those tables I want do to an audit: if a record is deleted, an entry should be created in table tblAudit.

tblAudit contains some fields: 
table: the table in which the record was deleted
On: the date on which the record was deleted
Value: a concatination of all fields of the related record

So let's assume I have a table tblA with next fields: Date, ProductName, Price
If I delete a record, field [Value] in my audit table should contain the actual values of the record I deleted together with the fieldname:  Date = 15/3/2019 €€€€€ ProductName = Bike €€€€€ price = 20.50

I also have table tblB with next fields: Supplier, Address, City, email
If I delete a record in this table, field [Value] in my audit table should contain:
Supplier = "The Online Bookstore" €€€€€ Address = "High End Street 20" €€€€€ City = "Washington" €€€€€ email="info@bookstore.com"

By the way: the €-signs are in to have the fields delimited later on.

Now, I could create individual triggers on each tables and each trigger contains a concatination of all those fieds.
I do not want to do this. I want some query which picks up each of the fieldnames and the field values dynamically regardless of the amount of fields the table has.  So with other words: I have one generic trigger which can be applied to any table.

I want to work out to create next hierarchy sequence id when reparenting hierarchy tree

i.e.

HID tree /3/, /3/1/, /3/2/, /3/2/1/, /3/2/2/, /3/2/3/

Reparenting /3/2/.... tree to /5/ will remain /5/2/ and it's subsequent series.

Is there any way when we can start /5/1/ if there is no child and if any child get next HID i.e /5/2/ and so on.

Thanks

current outcome is not desired, i am not having the values for the sku: "cocotte-ovale-sale" ("valueparent1,valueparent2,valueparent3,valueparent4") but the ones for a child

"direct_heat3,induction_cooker,oven,dish_washer"

expected outcome:

Hello,

I run this command from OS

sqlcmd -S sql-12 -I -i get_db_list.sql 

and I want dynamically to generate output filename, here is get_db_list.sql 

declare @instname varchar  = (SELECT @@servicename)
go

:OUT $(instname)
SELECT name FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases
go
:OUT stdout

but the script returned the error

'instname' scripting variable not defined.

and generated filename is "$(instname)"

How to put sql variable into env :OUT variable?

Thanks.

Appreciate your help .

Greetings. I've got an existing Service Broker process that rebuilds indexes, specifically several at once using multi threading. Before it runs it gathers all indexes into a table, and removes those that don't meet certain criteria (number of pages, percent of fragmentation, etc). It works great, and has served us well for years. 

I now have a new project to move all objects into new database files, as we recently purged 1 TB of data and without doing this there's no way we'll ever be able to reclaim that space. Naturally, my thought was to use our SB process to make that magic happen w some slight tweaks. 

So first, a process runs that populates two tables with every index in the DB. 1) The existing table from the SB process. 2) A new table that holds similar data, but also has a "command" column that shows the exact line of rebuild code to be ran. Note that to move indexes to a new filegroup, one needs to run a CREATE INDEX ... WITH (DROP_EXISTING = ON) command. 

So here is a snippet of code that works without issue:

SET @SQL = 'USE ' + @dbname + ';
							IF EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM SYS.Indexes WHERE name=''' + @idxname + ''' AND object_id = (select object_id from sys.objects where name = ''' + @tblName + ''' and schema_id = (select schema_id(''' + @schemaname + '''))))
								ALTER INDEX [' + @idxname + N'] ON [' + @schemaname + N'].[' + @tblname + N'] REBUILD WITH (Data_Compression=' + @compress + ', maxdop=0)
							ELSE
								UPDATE IndexMaint SET MaintMessage = ''INDEX NOT FOUND! SKIPPED'' WHERE IndexName = '''+ @idxname + ''' AND TableName = ''' + @tblName + ''''

Here is the only block of code that has changed. It works for the most part, but also causes some deadlocks (like 30 out of every 1000 indexes rebuild will deadlock):

						DECLARE @EXEC NVARCHAR(MAX)
							SET @EXEC = (SELECT commands 
							from perf.dbo.idx_relo_commands (nolock)
							where dbName = @dbName
							and schemaName = @schemaname
							and tableName = @tblName
							and indexName = @idxname)

							SET @SQL = 'USE ' + @dbname + ';
							IF EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM SYS.Indexes WHERE name=''' + @idxname + ''' AND object_id = (select object_id from sys.objects where name = ''' + @tblName + ''' and schema_id = (select schema_id(''' + @schemaname + '''))))
													'+@exec+';
							IF NOT EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM SYS.Indexes WHERE name=''' + @idxname + ''' AND object_id = (select object_id from sys.objects where name = ''' + @tblName + ''' and schema_id = (select schema_id(''' + @schemaname + '''))))
								UPDATE IndexMaint SET MaintMessage = ''INDEX NOT FOUND! SKIPPED'' WHERE IndexName = '''+ @idxname + ''' AND TableName = ''' + @tblName + ''''

Here is an output from Extended Events:

So my question (finally) is are this type of index rebuilds, called through Service Broker, simply prone to deadlocks? Everyone involved in this deadlock are trying to get locks for schema mods -- not like they're trying to read data. 

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance! ChrisRDBA
