I don't think you need to worry about thousands of rows as much as what is the total number of bytes with your 293 columns. If you are using sql 2005 then your page size is 8060 bytes. You really don't want a single row to go over the page size, that can cause a lot of performace issues. If you can say that your total max row size would be 6000 bytes then I wouldn't worry about performace. If you max row size is over 8060 bytes then you really should break up the columns.
If you only have thousands like 10,000 rows in a table there is a pretty good chance that any query wouldn't even use an index. Which is the next point. Performace has more to do with indexes being set up properly then number of columns. Sql server always looks up full pages. So the smaller the row size the more rows that will be read with one page read. Anyway, that is probably a lot more then you wanted.
Here's a link to potential problems you might have:

Hi,
I am using MSSQL2005 and am having difficulties understanding how to create a stored procedure which first verfies data is found, and then if so processes that data.
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.PostNews
@Subject VARCHAR(255),
@Body TEXT
AS
/* Has news already been posted within the last 10 minutes? */
IF EXISTS(SELECT TOP 1 DATEDIFF(MINUTE, tableNews.CreateDate, GETDATE()) AS MinuteDiff FROM tableNews WHERE tableNews.Subject=@Subject) BEGIN
/** THIS DOES NOT WORK **/
IF(MinuteDiff <= 10) RETURN 1;
END
/* Post news entry. */
RETURN 0;
RETURN
If possible it would be great to find out how you guys attempt these types of SQL statements. What could I do to resolve the above issue, if the result is found I want to return 1, otherwise return 0 once the news posting has been added.
Many thanks,
Lea Hayes

Because MinuteDiff does not exist at this point in the code.
Okay - Let's look at the IF statement
lhayes00 wrote: IF EXISTS(SELECT TOP 1 DATEDIFF(MINUTE, tableNews.CreateDate, GETDATE()) AS MinuteDiff FROM tableNews WHERE tableNews.Subject=@Subject)
IF EXISTS(SELECT) does a check to discover if the SELECT statement will return any rows. It doesn't care what those rows are, or store the results anywhere. It is a simple: Is anything at all returned.
Because of that, any calculations performed in the SELECT clause (in the place you'd normally return column data) is ignored. Putting a TOP 1 is pointless because the operation will short circuit the moment any row is found. Putting a DATEDIFF function in is pointless because it will ignore the results.
What you might want to do instead is something like this:
DECLARE @tenMinutesAgo DATETIME
SET @tenMinutesAgo = DATEADD(minute, -10, GETDATE())
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM tableNews WHERE CreateDate >= @tenMinutesAgo AND Subject=@Subject)
BEGIN
RETURN 1;
END
RETURN 0;

Thankyou very much for your reply 
I have just tried running that in my project and it works perfectly!!
And in addition is somewhat more optimal which is great.

You're welcome. I'm glad it worked.

When to use an inner join and when to use connect by prior to clause .

I don't recognise a "connect by prior to" clause. I couldn't find it in the documentation. Could you please cite the source of this phrase?

If you are referring to the CONNECT BY clause available within Oracle, that and self-joins are two entirely different things. The CONNECT BY allows recursion in the case that a table contains parent-child relationships. Using the CONNECT BY clause enables one to select ALL the children/grand-children/etc given a root entry. You can also use it to locate the root given a (perhaps distant) node. Joins on the other hand are not recursive. As nearly as I've ever been able to use them, you're limited to two generations of parent-child (unless you bury layers of sub-queries or some such thing).

I wanted to know how can we call Oracle stored procedures from Microsoft Reporting Services. I could pass a sql text and get a record set, but I want to execute a store proc and get the record set, and kindly let me know how to pass a refcursor to get the record set into the reporting services.
As always.. quick response would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

There is a table name "ResultData" which following data :
Rollno Result SchoolCode
1 First 1
2 First 1
3 Second 2
4 First 1
5 Fail 2
6 Third 2
7 Second 1
8 Fail 3
9 Fail 1
10 Second 2
I want the output like this :
(School code wise count of Result)
SchoolCode First Second Third Fail Total
1 3 1 0 1 5
2 0 2 1 1 4
3 0 0 0 1 1
Please write a single select query to get output.
Thanks in advance

I believe you want a "crosstab query". Apart from Microsoft products, I don't know if other vendors have it built-in. I don't believe it's part of the SQL standard...
Here is what Microsoft Access help says about cross tab queries.
"
Syntax
TRANSFORM aggfunction
selectstatement
PIVOT pivotfield [IN (value1[, value2[, ...]])]
The TRANSFORM statement has these parts:
Part Description
aggfunction An SQL aggregate function that operates on the selected data.
selectstatement A SELECT statement.
pivotfield The field or expression you want to use to create column headings in the query's result set.
value1, value2 Fixed values used to create column headings.

So, is it not possible to write a select statement in SQL Sever ?
|
|
|
|

Well, I thought it was included in SQL Server... Looks like didn't show-up until 2005.
Here is one article that may help. http://builder.com.com/5100-6388_14-6143761.html[^]
Once upon a time I wrote a lot of Perl code to dynamically do the same thing that the crosstab query does, but when I discovered crosstabs, I never went back. I don't know how to do it using CASE statements.
sorry I can't help more. Maybe someone else can...

You're correct, PIVOTs don't show up until 2005 in MSSQL
“Some have an idea that the reason we in this country discard things so readily is because we have so much. The facts are exactly opposite - the reason we have so much is simply because we discard things so readily. We replace the old in return for something that will serve us better.”--Alfred P. Sloan

Thanks to all of you and finally i used this query :
SELECT SCHCODE,COUNT(CASE WHEN RESULT = 'First' THEN Result END) AS First,COUNT(CASE WHEN Result = 'Second' THEN Result END) AS Second,COUNT(CASE WHEN Result = 'Third' THEN Result END) AS Third,COUNT(CASE WHEN Result = 'Fail' THEN Result END) AS Fail,count(*) as Total FROM resultdata GROUP BY schcode

I'm not much of an SQL query expert,
But I think that I have a solution
SELECT<br />
SchoolCode,<br />
COUNT(First) As TotalFirst,<br />
COUNT(Second) As TotalSecond,<br />
COUNT(Third) As TotalThird,<br />
COUNT(Fail) As TotalFail,<br />
(COUNT(First) + COUNT(Second) + COUNT(Third) +COUNT(Fail)) As TotalTotal<br />
FROM ResultData<br />
GROUP BY (SchoolCode)<br />
<br />
I havent tested it.
Post a reply to let every body know if it works.

hello all. i was wondering if anyone could recommend a good SQL IDE. i currently use SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005. one of my main requirements is CVS. in one of my projects, i need to replicate one database's stored procedures to numerous others, so i need to see what procedures have changed everytime i need to work on the project. if anyone has any recommendations for other solutions, those are welcome to.
thanks for any help anyone provides.

I use both the SQL Server Management Studio Express and Quest Software's Toad for SQL 2.0 Freeware. Both work well for me, you may want to look at them if you haven't already

I would recommend you to use SQL Server Mangement Studio itself, but try to set up CVSNT ( Concurrent Versioning System - its free - Open source) and the great thing is you can integrate SQL Mangement Studio with CVS. You can use wincvs as a client to access the CVS Server. Setting up the CVS server and client are a breeze if you know what you are doing... There are plenty of resources on the net too.
So you can maintain source control easily with no cost. Mail me if you need further instructions on integrating SSMS with CVS.

Where is (LOCAL) determined on my machine? I have a local instance of SQL Server and am trying to get to it with that name but it just goes to my machine name instead of <machinename>\<sqlservername>.

It is the default instance of SQL Server on the local machine.

Where can I change that? My computer thinks I have SQL Express 2005 and when I installed SQL Server 2000 it obviously didnt get updated.
