View 5 RepliesI have a web portal designed in ASP.NET in which we ask customers to enter the data. On the click of submit button all i have done is, just read the data and called a stored procedure which inserts that into a table. There seems to be a problem in SQL Server 2005 while inserting the data from multiple computers at the same time. We have tested in our lab with three computers, result is that we get the data inserted successfully in only one machine and on the other two machines we get error on page. I have used transactions in the stored procedure and also tried setting the isolation levels to READ_UNCOMMITTED, SERIALIZABLE and SNAPSHOT. Nothing seems to work properly.
View 4 RepliesI have a requirement that user can enter data into a table only once in two date and time ranges in a day as:
from 6 AM to 5:59 PM and from 6 PM to next day till 5:59 AM.
for Example:if today 25/ Nov/2010 at 9:45 AM i have entered a record then if i again try then can not enter the record in table till 5:59 PM but i can enter again today after 6:00 PM till 26/Nov/2010 - 5:59AM.
i have a select statement which returns a column value.
id like to display the lowest column value there is, but if there are multiple rows with the same (and lowest) value id like it to be random which one of the rows is selected.. how would i do this? my select statement is currently:
SELECT TOP (1) url, ABS(r1 - @r1) + ABS(r2 - @r2) AS difference
FROM type
ORDER BY difference
this picks the one lowest result for me, but if there are multiple duplicate lowest results id like to select them, and show one at random..?
I am working on a project for a market research company that needs to select and have it displayed to my gridview. I need a select statement that will randomly put on my gridview the following:
Recruitment Goal 21 people and out of those people 10 people have to be male, 11 people female, 9 of them white, 9 of them black, 2 of them hispanic. Is there a way I could do that? I was thinking of doing a stored procedure and doing something like
Select TOP 10 * from Canidates where sex = 'Male' order by newid() Into #tmp
Select TOP 11 * from Canidates where sex = 'Female' order by newid() Into #tmp
Etc... and then just selecting from the Temp Table.

I want to generate 30,000 cards and each card must be duplicate check with database. In my card, there are 2 things. Serial No and CardID. If any card already exists then I generate another card id but with the same serial no.
So how faster way I can generate 30,000 card with duplicate check? Which one I have made application, it takes about 25 minutes to insert.
I have an SQL 2005 db with a table named "industry_suppliers."
I've created a query to enable someone to search this table using 3 parameters.
The results need to be grouped by "product_description" (which is essentially a category). When displayed on an .aspx page, for example, the results need to look like this:
Apples
Acme Apple Company
Bradbury Orchards
Oranges
A1 Citrus Company
Belfast Growers, Inc
Bradbury Orchards
Notice how "Bradbury Orchards" is repeated under both categories. This is the result I want, EXCEPT in cases where someone wants to filter the search results by category. Let's say someone wants to search just for apple suppliers. The problem I'm having is that any record that appears under apples will also get listed again under any other categories associated with that record. So, searching for apple suppliers, the results are this:
Apples
Acme Apple Company
Bradbury Orchards
Oranges
Bradbury Orchards
I'm having trouble figuring out how to revise my query to avoid this problem.

If I have records in a table in this order:
Id - Date - Type
1 - 2011-03-01 - 1
2 - 2011-03-02 - 0
3 - 2011-03-03 - 0
4 - 2011-03-04 - (-1)
5 - 2011-03-04 - 0
Can I somehow select the records between a record having type 1 and type -1 without using a cursor,for example the records with ids 1-4 in this example?
I want to store date and time into SQL server. Can I store it directly? For Instance
strDate = 28/02/2011
strTime = 09:30:55 pm
Then I used one variable to store all these.
strDateTime = strDate + " " + strTime
But it doesn't work for me

Using a ListBox, where multiple items can be selected. Using StringSplit SQL function the string passed from Listbox is separated where the delimeter is comma ( , ).ListBox is in search form where user enters search criteria using other controls and the ListBox.

Like to know how this can be handled? It is required to retrive NULL values when None is selected in ListBox as well as in combination of other ListItems(Male and Female) i.e., Male, Female, Null when user selects multiple items from ListBox.
Is it possible to add multiple select statements in a single stored procedure. The select statements are getting data from different tables. If yes, could anybody provide an example in adding multiple select statements, which retrieve data from different tables in a stored procedure.

I have an application which imports data from csv to sql server 2005. It is taking long time to import data from csv to sql server 2005. it has a timer. on tick of timer, I am checking if current rown in csv exists in database. If it exists, It is not added to sql server otherwise, It is added that row to sql server 2005. Also, In page load, It checks on each tick, whether user is logged in or not. it adds value to log file that user is logged in. How can I optimize this ?
View 1 Repliesi use this query as my sql query :
SELECT TOP 5 * FROM MyTableName WHERE ID=@ID ORDER BY NEWID()
As you may know it gets 5 records by random. I use it with dataset and bind the listview to this dataset and in ItemDataBound i want to do some programming (like making some controls visible or invisible) i need itemindex.
but the question is : how can i get the itemindex of a listview when sql query selects records randomly?
How can I select a random row and then update or delete it? I've found how to get a random row, using SELECT TOP 1 column FROM table ORDER BY NEWID() do I have to make another select using this result in order to update the row, or it can be done more efficiently?

I am trying to create a Question Bank application for one of our clients. What is the main challenge I am facing is a typical demand from the client. What they want is : Whenever users open this site a set of random numbers(range say 1 to 20) should be generated and questions with the QuestionID(column in a table in Database) according to the numbers would be displayed in the page. I have done it to some extent but, still not satisfied with it.
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int[] n = new int[10];
int rn;
bool Check = true;
int[] n1 = new int[10];
Random rand = new Random();
n1[0] = rand.Next(1, 21);
for (int i = 1; i < 10; i++)
{
rn = rand.Next(1, 21);
for (int j = 0; j < n1.Length; j++)
{
if (n1[j] == rn)
{
Check = false;
break;
}
else
continue;
}
if (Check == true)
n1[i] = rn;
}
for(int i=0;i<10;i++)
Response.Write(n1[i] + " ");
