sql-server-2000

I have been given the task of refactoring an existing stored procedure so that the results are paginated. The SQL server is SQL 2000 so I can't use the ROW_NUMBER method of pagination. The Stored proc is already fairly complex, building chunks of a large sql statement together before doing an sp_executesql and has various sorting options available. The first result out of google seems like a good method but I think the example is wrong in that the 2nd sort needs to be reversed and the case when the start is less than the pagelength breaks down. The 2nd example on that page also seems like a

I want to backup a table saving the copy in the same database with another name. I want to do it programatically using .NET 2.0 (preferably C#). Someone can point me what should I do? Just send this query to the server: SELECT * INTO [BackupTable] FROM [OriginalTable] This will create the backup table from scratch (an error will be thrown if it already exists). For large tables be prepared for it to take a while. This should mimic datatypes, collation, and NULLness (NULL or NOT NULL), but will not copy indexes, keys, or similar constraints. If you need help sending sql queries to the database,

I have a table : create table a (page int, pro int) go insert into a select 1, 2 insert into a select 4, 2 insert into a select 5, 2 insert into a select 9, 2 insert into a select 1, 3 insert into a select 2, 3 insert into a select 3, 3 insert into a select 4, 3 insert into a select 9, 3 insert into a select 1, 4 insert into a select 9, 4 insert into a select 12, 4 insert into a select 1, 5 insert into a select 9, 5 insert into a select 12, 5 insert into a select 13, 5 insert into a select 14, 5 insert into a select 15, 5 go (here is the SQLfiddle of this table and queries I began to write )

How can I do the following in SQL Server DECLARE @Local nvarchar(20) SET @Local = 'True' SELECT * FROM My_Table WHERE my_ID IN (IF @Local = 'True' SELECT AllIDs FROM ATable ELSE SELECT TeamIDs FROM TeamTable ) Go for a union :- SELECT * FROM My_Table WHERE my_id IN ( SELECT AllIDs AS MyIDs FROM ATable WHERE @Local = 'True' UNION SELECT TeamIDs AS MyIDs FROM TeamTable WHERE @Local <> 'True' ) SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE my_id IN ( SELECT allids FROM atable WHERE @Local = 'True' ) UNION ALL SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE my_id IN ( SELECT teamids FROM teamtable WHERE COALESCE(@Local, '') <> 'True'

I have been google about this for a while..is there any way to identify the estimated query execution time> There are actual execution plan and estimated execution plan on the ssms .The thing is none of these have estimated time. Is it something lacking in the Sql Server? Peter Currently, no. Microsoft is currently researching ways to do this using a combination of work already completed and an estimated execution plan (See the details of their research on the Microsoft Research site ), so we can expect to see something soon. But this is the only development that I am aware of. The solution I

I have a continous time dataset and I want to break it up into 15 minute blocks using sql. I don't want to have to create a new table to be able to do this if I can help it. i.e. Time, Count 09:15, 1 09:30, 3 09:45, 0 10:00, 2 10:15, 3 ..... Does anyone have any idea of how I can do this. I presume that is use a select similar to the following: SELECT [Some kind of data manipulation on "MyDate"] , COUNT(ID) FROM MyTable GROUP BY [Some kind of data manipulation on "MyDate"] With careful use of dateadd and datediff, this can be accomplished. My solution rounds the times down. The first piece

I know I can get a list of tables from a given database with the following query: select * from information_schema.tables How do I go about excluding system tables though? select name from sysobjects where type='U' Damien_The_Unbeliever I know this is quite an old question, but someone's just edited it to resurrect it, and the "right" answer from my perspective isn't either of the two listed. The accepted answer includes some "system" tables ( dtproperties is mentioned in the comments. If the user had any replication going on, they'd have found a few more). The other answer uses a 2005 table,
