  • RE: SSIS XML import

    The ids created by the XML Source in Dataflow aren't guaranteed to be unique between calls for different xml files. How could they be?

    Add a fileId column...

  • RE: SSIS XML import

    What method are you using to import the xml (within SSIS)? How are you calculating and assigning these IDs?

  • RE: need repetition of a table when joined with another table

    It's not entirely clear why you expect to get the 3 and 4 values twice, but you could create something like that using UNION ALL eg (using Chris' sample data)

    SELECT...

  • RE: Building a Large XML file to Include or Exclude Groups and Detail According to Parametrised Info

    I like XML FOR EXPLICIT, it's really powerful and allows that finer grain of control when constructing XML. However from SQL 2005 onwards, the other FOR XML options (...

  • RE: XML Import into multiple tables with data translation

    There is a well-known issue with the xml datatype and methods and parent axis.

    Try this instead:

    IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#tmp') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #tmp

    GO

    SELECT CAST( ConsolidatedPlayersCombinedText AS XML ) ConsolidatedPlayersCombinedText

    INTO...

  • RE: Insert sequence number

    I did trial that and honestly there is not a lot in it, with solution 1 (mine) slightly faster 5-10% on average at scale of 1 million. My test...

  • RE: Insert sequence number

    That's a shame about the WHILE loop. I would encourage you to use one of the set-based options presented for you as they will scale much better.

    How many claims...

  • RE: Insert sequence number

    Having taken all your comments into consideration, and with a similar approach to Chris, this option was best for me at scale ( 1 million ):

    USE tempdb

    GO

    IF OBJECT_ID('#claims') IS NOT...

  • RE: Insert sequence number

    Nice and neat, but will roll up maxSequence of 0 to 20. Not to say that the OP has any of those, maybe they do; maybe they don't :...

  • RE: Insert sequence number

    Here's an example of how to do something like that using Common Table Expressions ( CTEs ):

    USE tempdb

    GO

    IF OBJECT_ID('#claims') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #claims

    CREATE TABLE #claims

    (

    claimNumberINT,

    maxSequenceINT,

    PRIMARY KEY ( claimNumber,...

  • RE: SQL Help

    Good spot Lynne, that was just in the demo so I could check the results were consistent between the three queries. Sorting is not a requirement from the OP...

  • RE: SQL Help

    ... if the CoverageCodes are stored in their own table ...

    I'm speculating coverageCodes could be a foreign key (as the name would suggest), but of course we don't have...

  • RE: SQL Help

    I would approach that using TOP and CROSS APPLY, eg:

    SELECT c2.*

    FROM ( SELECT DISTINCT CoverageCode FROM dbo.[Contract] ) x

    CROSS APPLY ( SELECT TOP 5 * FROM dbo.[Contract] c WHERE x.CoverageCode...

  • RE: XML Query Help

    I would approach that more like this:

    DECLARE @xml XML

    SET @xml = (

    SELECT

    (

    SELECT

    'ZID' AS "@_Name",

    '789' AS "@_Value",

    'ZID' AS "@_ID"

    FOR XML PATH('KEY'), TYPE

    ),

    (

    SELECT

    ZLN,

    ZTLA,

    ZMR,

    ZCLS,

    ZPITIP

    FROM #ZDL ZL

    FOR XML AUTO, ELEMENTS, TYPE

    ),
