Help required to extra image from varbinary column and create image on file system

Posted: 21 Sep 2011 04:41 AM PDT

SQLServer 2008.Problem: I have a table populated by an external system which stores image data in a varbinary column. I need to create a trigger on the table so that on an insert to the table, the trigger fires and picks up the newly inserted record and extracts the varbinary data and outputs it to a physical image file with a name composed of the recordID + '.JPG' (or whatever graphic format is used) on the hard disk then I can write a row to another table with the filename. I don't mind if the generated file is a JPG or GIF or PNG although I would prefer it not to be a BMP due to the size of these.Creating the trigger is no problem - the issue I am having is extracting the data from varbinary column and creating the graphic file.I've tried googling for this and I can't find a complete solution anywhere. Ideally this needs to run on the SQLServer within a trigger so that it is fully automated.Can anyone help me with this?Many thanksCharlotte CB

Top Randomized Results with Multiple Qualifying Conditions

Posted: 24 Sep 2013 06:58 AM PDT

I found this to be an interesting exercise for the day. I've been assigned the task of picking the "winners" in a lottery, which must be random, but the aggregate results need to meet multiple criteria.It would be easy if there was just a "single" criteria .. you could just pick the top "n" lottery results until the criteria was met. But I need to consider multiple factors.And yes I can easily do this with what is described as "RBAR" ...The table:[code="sql"]CREATE TABLE #Ticket (TicketID NUMERIC(18,0) PRIMARY KEY, sRace CHAR(1), iAge NUMERIC(18,0), sParty CHAR(1))[/code]Some data (I have thousands of records for each lottery)[code="sql"]INSERT INTO #TicketSELECT '18986', 'B', '40', 'D' UNION ALLSELECT '39189', 'W', '63', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '42223', 'B', '46', 'D' UNION ALLSELECT '44106', 'W', '82', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '44365', 'B', '52', 'D' UNION ALLSELECT '45726', 'W', '42', 'D' UNION ALLSELECT '53323', 'W', '49', 'D' UNION ALLSELECT '58770', 'W', '70', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '59624', 'B', '33', 'D' UNION ALLSELECT '59788', 'B', '36', 'D' UNION ALLSELECT '77297', 'W', '72', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '81772', 'W', '66', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '90966', 'W', '76', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '95401', 'W', '56', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '96760', 'B', '39', 'D' UNION ALLSELECT '101073', 'W', '68', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '107167', 'B', '44', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '108750', 'W', '57', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '123544', 'A', '69', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '124403', 'A', '44', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '124937', 'W', '49', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '126040', 'A', '56', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '127882', 'A', '75', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '128238', 'W', '26', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '132748', 'W', '77', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '133906', 'W', '35', 'D' UNION ALLSELECT '134248', 'B', '37', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '136046', 'H', '43', 'D' UNION ALLSELECT '136253', 'W', '55', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '138220', 'W', '52', 'D' UNION ALLSELECT '140297', 'B', '76', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '140457', 'W', '36', 'D' UNION ALLSELECT '148863', 'B', '62', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '148943', 'W', '69', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '148959', 'W', '57', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '151948', 'B', '64', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '152141', 'B', '46', 'D' UNION ALLSELECT '153106', 'W', '53', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '156206', 'W', '52', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '160553', 'W', '60', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '161406', 'B', '27', 'D' UNION ALLSELECT '161663', 'B', '25', 'D' UNION ALLSELECT '161987', 'W', '36', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '162127', 'W', '61', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '181421', 'B', '27', 'D' UNION ALLSELECT '181818', 'B', '42', 'D' UNION ALLSELECT '181954', 'W', '57', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '182168', 'W', '66', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '182292', 'I', '47', 'R' UNION ALLSELECT '182379', 'W', '44', 'R'[/code]So I can simply "lotterize" the winners with a CTE like this:[code="sql"]WITH lottery AS (SELECT TicketID, sRace, sParty, iAge, ABS(CHECKSUM(NEWID()))%100000+1 AS iRandom FROM #ticket )SELECT TOP 5 * FROM lottery ORDER BY iRandom[/code]**BUT**, I need to be assured that at least 80% of the "winners" have sRace = "W" **AND** 80% of the winners have sParty = "R"So considering this sample result set (it will of course vary each time you run the code) TicketID sRace sParty iAge iRandom181954 W R 57 282124937 W R 49 586696760 B D 39 7212133906 W D 35 9853140457 W D 36 1568459788 B D 36 19464108750 W R 57 20181101073 W R 68 20440161663 B D 25 20612123544 A R 69 2110080%+ (or 4+) must be sRace = "W" and 80%+ (or 4+) must be sParty = "R"Or logicially (and more importantly from a coding perspective) no more than 1 of each can be other than that.So the winners would have to beTicketID sRace sParty iAge iRandom181954 W R 57 282124937 W R 49 586696760 B D 39 7212108750 W R 57 20181101073 W R 68 20440

Hi,I have a scenario were under certain circumstances I need to use the earliest start date and then the latest finish date then work out days between these dates for records that need to be grouped together by a typeLatest finish date - earliest start date.In other circumstances, but using data from the same table I need to just use the start and finish date working out the days between without grouping by type.Finish date - start date.This determines the number of days another calculation needs to be greater than in order to qualify for my query. If the days between falls between certain ranges this gets me the days to be greater than called a qualifying period. The other calculation takes the start date, same as number 2 above and measures the days between.Actual finish - start dateI then check to see if this number of days is > the qualifying days.To determine if I should use just the start / finish date or the latest start / finish date I have a function that analysis about 10 parameters to work out what the rows type are first and then I can work out which method to use.All the information for parameters comes from three tables. All joined with inner joins.At the moment I feel I have functions embedded with functions and its not clean but messy.Just woundering how other people tacke complex scenarios like these. One option is I can pass in the rows unique id, have a select statement in a function get everything it needs and perform the calculation, but this feels I would be selecting from the same tables twice when I can use things like Max(date) over (Id) type logic.I could have a view with all the complex logic and self join using the Id mentioned above but this feels it would perfom not as well.Because the data is from 3rd party database, we cannot add indexes to improve performance or add application logic. I can select data only.Thank youEliza

Query help - summarize data with some complexities - TSQL gurus needed

Posted: 24 Sep 2013 01:45 AM PDT

I'm not exactly sure how best to tackle this. Below is the setup. I removed columns that are inconsequential to the problem and changed the column names and values, but are otherwise indicative of the actual data. Basically, need to generate dynamic descriptions based on a summary of data within a table called InvoiceLine[code="sql"]--CREATE TABLECREATE TABLE InvoiceLine (InvoiceNumber INTEGER, FranchiseLoc VARCHAR(20), Distribution VARCHAR(3))[/code][code="sql"]--INSERT SAMPLE DATAINSERT INTO InvoiceLine VALUES (259,'Coastal Carolina','MJB'),(259,'Coastal Carolina','MMA'),(259,'Coastal Carolina','NEA') ,(259,'Coastal Carolina','PVA'),(259,'Lexington','CC'),(259,'Lexington','HB'),(259,'Lexington','SS'),(259,'Lexington','WB') ,(248,'Ottawa','HA'),(248,'Ottawa','HB'),(248,'Lexington','500'),(248,'Lexington','501'),(248,'Lexington','AB') ,(248,'Lexington','AK'),(248,'Lexington','BP'),(248,'Lexington','CC'),(248,'Lexington','HB'),(248,'Lexington','ILX') ,(248,'Lexington','MF'),(248,'Lexington','SS'),(248,'Lexington','WB')[/code][code="sql"]--Pulling everything from the table show 21 rows--259 and 248 are distinct values for InvoiceLineNumber--from which a summary needs pulledSELECT * FROM InvoiceLine[/code]Given above data, this is what they want the resultset to look like:[code="sql"]SELECT 259 AS InvoiceLineNumber,'Coastal Carolina | Lexington' AS [Description], 'Coastal Carolina: MJB, MMA, NEA, PVA | Lexington: CC, HB, SS, WB' AS DescriptionDetailUNIONSELECT 248,'Lexington | Ottawa','Lexington: 500, 501, AB, AK, BP, CC, HB, ILX, MF, SS, WB | Ottawa: HA, HB'[/code]Basically, put unique FranchiseLoc values for a given InvoiceLineNumber into a single column called Description in a row separate by a vertical pipe. That alone isn't too difficult, but for DescriptionDetail, it gets a little crazier. Put unique FrancechiseLoc values for a InvoiceLineNumber into a single column called DescriptionDetail, but add unique distributions per FrancechiseLoc after a colon. This is where I'm getting a bit lost.Any help/thoughts appreciated. Let me know if any questions.

Indexes missing after restoring a database to a different server

Posted: 24 Sep 2013 07:20 PM PDT

Hello,I am a bit befuddled by a problem I have encountered.The scenario is, On Server A, database is backed up (full backup) , then transaction log backups every 15 minutes. The backup file is then copied to Server B and restored.The result is the database is apparently successfully restored to Server B, yet when digging a little deeper, it is apparent that some of the indexes that exist in User Tables in the original database (On Server A) do not exist in the restored version of the database (On Server B)If the same backup is restored to a new database on Server A, there iis no problem and all the indexes exist.Both servers are Microsoft SQL Server Standard Edition (64-bit), version 10.0.5500.0

SQL Server downtimes

Posted: 24 Sep 2013 11:59 AM PDT

Hello team,Sorry if duplicated, is it possible to get ride of how many times an instance has been restarted? I need this for an Up-time report, so in a month I need to validate how many days or hours an instance was up.I know is very easy to get the time when the instance was last restarted, I can also check with the Xp_readerrorlog the details when an instance was shutdown, but I can't figure out how to get the report, is probably tricky.Any help or comments will be really appreciated.Thanks,

Max Memory

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 10:12 AM PDT

I have set Max Memory to 6 GB. But SQL Server is using only 2.9 GBQuery used:SELECT object_name, counter_name, cntr_value AS 'Total Server Memory (KB)'FROM sys.dm_os_performance_counters WHERE counter_name = 'Total Server Memory (kB)'So why SQL Server is not using all allocated Max memory i.e 6GB? Is this normal? SQL Server should use all allocated Max memory right?Thanks,Gary

Works in Management Studio but not from C#

Posted: 24 Sep 2013 01:11 AM PDT

I have a simple stored procedure that takes one nvarchar parameter as input. The parm is compared to a column defined as uniqueidentifier (column SubjectId, below). When I run the sproc in Management Studio it works. When I call it from c# it does not fail but it returns 0 rows.I have checked the spelling of the sproc and of the parm (and their case). All aok. I have converted the sproc call to Command.Text. No change. I have hardcoded the parameter value. No change. I have put a breakpoint in just before filling the dataset and grabbed the query and executed it in Mangement Studio and it works, then I let C# continue execution but no rows are returned. I have changed the dataadapter to a datareader, no change.Here's my code:[code="plain"][dbo].[GetBySubjectId] (@SubjectIdString nvarchar(550) = null) asbeginset nocount onSelect GroupId, GroupName from dbo.MyTable where filetypename = 'Enrollment' and SubjectId = @SubjectIdString[/code]Here's an example of the sproc call with the parm hardcoded in as an experiment:[code="plain"]sqlCommand.Parameters.Add("@SubjectIdString", SqlDbType.NVarChar).Value = "FBBE20B1-55F1-E111-BF73-00155D062F00";[/code]Anybody see the problem?

Shift week to Wed - Tues

Posted: 24 Sep 2013 03:26 AM PDT

Hello. I need to be able to group data based on not only the date, but also the "week of". However, the "week" is defined as Wed - Tues. Basically, I think what I need is for the code to convert a date to the preceding Wednesday (not the Wed of last week). For example, 9/23/2013 would convert to 9/18/2013, but 9/27/2013 would convert to 9/25/2013. I can find some code to find a date in the previous week, but nothing like this (so far).I do have a Date table at my disposal that has Date, WeekStartSunday, DayOfWeek, etc.Thanks,PK

SSMS closes without warning during query run

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 01:01 AM PDT

Does anyone know why SSMS would close without warning during the middle of a query run?It's done this to me twice this morning. I do have Statistics_IO and Statistics_Time and Include Actual Execution Plan on (which I usually have off), but it seems odd to me that that would be the only reason why SSMS shuts down.No error BTW. The window just vanishes. I haven't checked the logs yet. Doing that after I finish posting. Would love to know if anyone else has seen this problem before.
