Figure out what takes more time, the query or the code. If it is the query, take a look at execution plan. Might help.

WHERE LEFT(icd_code, 1) = 'R'
Doesn't look very efficient. I'd add an extra (redundant) column that holds the first character that you're filtering on. And put an index on that field

I am sure there is something wrong because running a query to get all the 12000 on the same PC but using SSMS takes 1sec only! The issue is when I run it on winform either to get all or to get starting with R so no creating another col holding the first character won't help when I want to get all

I don't think that SSMS is using a datatable to cache the entire table locally. Might be using a reader, filling your grids with results as they arrive over TCP.
If all the ICD-codes need to be on the client, why not put them on the clientmachine as a SqlCe database?

Why not just do this?
WHERE icd_code LIKE 'R%'
Isn't that the same thing as LEFT(icd_code, 1)? I don't know whether the query optimiser is smart enough to reduce the two queries down to the same thing or not. Using LIKE would definitely result in the optimiser considering using an index on icd_code if there is one. I don't know whether the query optimiser considers using an index for LEFT or not.

Would be an option too, even cleaner to read. Another (a bit more obfuscating perhaps) alternative would be a computed column, including an index;
BEGIN TRANSACTION
CREATE TABLE Test
(
ICDKEY VARCHAR(8)
,ICDVAL VARCHAR(5000)
,KEYPFX AS LEFT(ICDKEY, 1)
)
CREATE INDEX Test_KeyPfx_Idx ON Test (KEYPFX)
ROLLBACK
Then again, if I have the option of doing the processing ahead, I'd surely choose to add a readonly-column and do a single update-statement.
Mean part of that query is that it's dragging along a large text-field.

0) Start with using LIKE (as mentioned)
1) Don't prefix your stored procedure names with SP_.
2) Don't use a DataAdapter, use a DataReader
3) Be sure to close your Connection

Hello Friends,
I've a dynamic sql and it's returning Max(TRN_AMOUNT) now i've to store this Max(TRN_AMOUNT) in a variable i.e. @NUM.
Here is my code
DECLARE @STRSQL VARCHAR(MAX),@NUM VARCHAR(MAX)
SET @STRSQL='SELECT MAX(TRN_AMOUNT) FROM TRN'
EXEC(@STRSQL)
PRINT @NUM
|
|
|
|
|
You can use following:
SET @STRSQL='SELECT @someVariable = MAX(TRN_AMOUNT) FROM TRN
You can declare @someVariable in your SP. BTW there is no need to dynamic query in the scenario you have mentioned.

Hi!
I've to select the most recently added field in a column. i.e the last value in a column. How to select it?
|
|

|

Do you mean to get the last row of data added to the table? Your question is not clear.

I'll describe it.
I'm inserting TeamIds to the table from one class(TeamIds are selected ids of a list in a Menu page). I've to display a color of the selected team(TeamID)over the remaining pages. On Clicking a button, I've stored the selected index of the list control(TeamID) to the Team table. From other pages(other classes),
I've to query the recently added TeamID(last one in the table). How to do this?

Quick thought: why not add the id to the session and use that? Save a trip back to the db to fetch what you already have.

You could use a trigger to include a timestamp on each row that is inserted or updated. Then your select would be on the most recently timestamped row. However this may not work if your inserts and updates can occur faster than the smallest time span for your timestamp.

If you're using an autonumber field as a primary key, select on the MAX value of that field. Alternatively, get the number of rows in the main table and fetch the (N-1)th row.

Hi all.
I would like to make from three only two rows.
I hope someone can helps me to put values which are not "null" to a new row.
This is the table which exisits:
Table "MACandDNS":
NAME | ETH0 | ETH1 |
hugo | 000011223333 | 000011223334 |
sassy | 000013323333 | 000211223334 |
jan | 985555111113 | <empty> |
kevin |
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe something like?
INSERT INTO MACandDNSnew
SELECT NAME, ETH0 AS ETH
FROM firsttable
WHERE ETH0 IS NOT NULL
UNION
SELECT NAME, ETH1 AS ETH
FROM firsttable
WHERE ETH2 IS NOT NULL
|
|
|
|
|
This is a bit ugly, but it should work. Atleast if I have understood you correct.
SELECT NAME,ETH0 as ETH
FROM MACandDNS
WHERE ETH0 IS NOT NULL
AND ETH1 IS NOT NULL
UNION
SELECT NAME,ETH1 as ETH
FROM MACandDNS
WHERE ETH0 IS NOT NULL
AND ETH1 IS NOT NULL
Note that if ETH0 and ETH1 is the same for one name then you get only one row.
If that's a problem you can use UNION ALL but then the rows for certain won't be unique

Hi!
I've to insert a value to a column in a particular data base table on a Button Click Event. I write the following statement to execute this:
SQLdb.Query("INSERT INTO Current(TeamID) values('countryId')");
countryId is an int value. I've printed and verified it. But when the click event happens and if I open the database and check for the corresponding column, only "countryId" is present(variable's name not the variable value as I expect). If I give countryId without single quotes in the statement also the result is the same. What to do to store the variable's value in to the database?
|
|
|
|
|
Preferably using parameterised queries, but as I don't know what SQLdb is, I cant show you what code to use. However the SQL query would look like
INSERT INTO Current(TeamID) values (@countryId)

Hi!
I'm using Sqlite. I'm calling Sqlite from C++.

Try:
SQLdb.Query("INSERT INTO Current(TeamID) values(' + countryId + ')");

Now + countryId + is store in the table.
|
|
|
|

Oops - sorry, should have been:
SQLdb.Query("INSERT INTO Current(TeamID) values(" + countryId + ")");
Couldn't you have figured that out on your own?
