I have a table in Teradata. I would like to know its size. The same thing might be interesting for databases in Teradata.
How can I do it?
To check your table size you can check from dbc.tablesize. check the below query.
SELECT
A.DatabaseName
,A.tablename
,CreateTimeStamp
,CAST(SUM(CURRENTPERM) AS DECIMAL(18,2))/(1024*1024*1024) (TITLE 'Used(GB)')
FROM dbc.tablesize A,DBC.TABLES B
WHERE A.TABLENAME=B.TABLENAME
AND A.DatabaseName = B.DatabaseName
AND A.DatabaseName = 'your database name/schemaname/appname'
AND A.tablename = 'your tablename'
GROUP BY 1,2,3 ORDER BY 3 DESC;
To check data base size you can use dbc.diskspace, the query will be something like this:
SELECT
DatabaseName
,CAST(SUM(CurrentPerm) AS DECIMAL(18,5))/(1024*1024*1024) (TITLE 'Used(GB)')
,CAST(SUM(MaxPerm) AS DECIMAL(18,5))/(1024*1024*1024) (TITLE 'Allocated(GB)')
,CAST(SUM(MaxPerm)-SUM(CurrentPerm) AS DECIMAL(18,5))/(1024*1024*1024) (TITLE 'Free(GB)')
FROM DBC.DiskSpace
WHERE DatabaseName = 'databasename'
GROUP BY 1
ORDER BY 2 Desc;
This will give you used space, allocated space and free space available in your database.
Code divides ints then casts as decimal suffering truncation. Changing the cast to:
CAST(SUM(CurrentPerm) AS DECIMAL(18,5)) /(1024*1024*1024) (TITLE 'Used(GB)')
gives what you meant

Currently, I am trying to create some software on Progress OpenEdge that sorts by customer's names or account codes.
So essentially, a box will open up when the program runs, the user will select "Name" from the drop-down list, and the program will display all the names in the database from alphabetical order.
Or, they will pick "Account" from the drop-down list, and it will display all the account codes in numeric order. I have attached a picture of the program here:
And this is currently the code I am using to print the results:
However, I'm not sure what I need to add for the others. Would I need IF statements, such as:
OR IF [drop down list] = "Account" THEN or something like that?
Any help would be appreciated.
While you can perform a static order by with a convulted set of if statements, it is a lot cleaner with a dynamic query.
To expand on Tom and Stefan's answers, you can use a query. The ABL lets you create a lot of things with static constructs and use them as dynamic. I think that in this case, you want to so something like the below.
Note that you can do build the query string either using OPEN QUERY qry FOR EACH ... or QUERY qry:QUERY-PREPARE('FOR EACH ... ') ; both will work equally well.
What I think you'd want is
(a) having a static definition of the query (ie DEFINE QUERY) since the cost of adding the buffer(s) to the query is done at compile time, not run time, and
(b) accessing the buffer fields statically (ie slmast.name rather than b::name )
define query qry for slmast.
define variable wc as character no-undo.
if condition eq true then
wc = "WHERE kco = s-kco AND warecode = lv-warecode AND pcode = fi-pcode AND name = fi-name BY name".
else
wc = "WHERE TRUE".
/* alternate
if condition then
open query qry for each slmast no-lock WHERE kco = s-kco AND warecode = lv-warecode AND pcode = fi-pcode AND name = fi-name BY name.
else
open query qry for each slmast no-lock.
*/
query qry:query-prepare(wc).
open query qry.
query qry:get-first().
do while available slmast:
/* do stuff with the buffer */
{&OUT} slmast.name.
query qry:get-next().
end.
query qry:query-close().
Using static constructs as far as possible means that you have less cleanup code to write and the code becomes more readable (IMO).
There are multiple ways to loop through the query results: using DO WHILE NOT QUERY qry:QUERY-OFF-END works as well as AVAILABLE slmast or b:AVAILABLE (if using a purely dynamic query).
As Stefan says, a dynamic query is what you want. This might help get you started:
define variable wc as character no-undo.
define variable q as handle no-undo.
define variable b as handle no-undo.
/* run your UI to get selection criteria amd then
* create a WHERE clause as appropriate
*/
wc = "WHERE kco = s-kco AND warecode = lv-warecode AND pcode = fi-pcode AND name = fi-name BY name".
create buffer b for table "slmast".
create query q.
q:set-buffers( b ).
q:query-prepare( substitute( "FOR EACH slmast NO-LOCK &1", wc )).
q:query-open().
do while q:get-next():
display
b:buffer-field( "name" ):buffer-value
b:buffer-field( "acode" ):buffer-value
b:buffer-field( "pcode" ):buffer-value
b:buffer-field( "trunmtd" ):buffer-value
b:buffer-field( "turnytd" ):buffer-value
.
end.
I have a product page on a webpage that shows categories of products. This is done with a listview populated from a database. The issue that I have is that the main supplier has demanded that their products are first in the category list. So what I need to do is run a query that will return the results, display those two categories first and then display the rest alphabetically.
So I've been trying to do this using a UNION ALL query like this:
SELECT cat, cat_id, image FROM prod_categories WHERE cat_id = 19 OR cat_id = 65
UNION ALL
SELECT cat, cat_id, image FROM prod_categories WHERE cat_id <> 19 AND cat_id <> 65
I thought with a union like this it would display the results of the first select query first, but it's not doing that.
I can add an 'order by cat' clause on the end, but obviously that only displays them in the correct order if the two categories I want to display come first alphabetically, which they don't.
If anyone has any ideas how to do this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
How about this:
SELECT cat, cat_id, image FROM prod_categories
order by case when cat_id in (19, 65) then 1 else 2 end, cat_id
Cuts out the need to UNION altogether. Might even produce a more efficient execution plan (possibly...).
(using Transact-SQL for SQL Server - the exact syntax may have to be tinkered for MySql etc)
Try something like this.
SELECT cat, cat_id, image, 1 as [srt]
FROM prod_categories WHERE cat_id = 19 OR cat_id = 65
UNION ALL
SELECT cat, cat_id, image, 2 as [srt]
FROM prod_categories WHERE cat_id <> 19 AND cat_id <> 65
ORDER BY srt ASC, cat_id
Don't hard-code this into your query. What happens when the next supplier wants to come second? Or last? For that matter, you may want to list categories in some sort of "group", anyways.
Instead, you should be using an ordering table (or multiple). Something simple to get you started:
CREATE TABLE Category_Order (categoryId INTEGER -- fk to category.id, unique
priority INTEGER) -- when to display category
Then you want to insert the values for the current "special" categories:
INSERT INTO Category_Order (categoryId, priority) VALUES (19, 2147483647), (65, 0)
You'll also need an entry for rows that are not currently prioritized:
INSERT INTO Category_Order (categoryId, priority)
SELECT catId, -2147483648
FROM prod_categories
WHERE catID NOT IN (19, 65)
Which can then be queried like this:
SELECT cat, cat_id, image
FROM prod_categories
JOIN Category_Order
ON category_id = cat_id
ORDER BY priority DESC, cat
If you write a small maintenance program for this table, you can then push re-ordering duties off onto the correct business department. Reordering of entries can be accomplished by splitting the difference between existing entries, although you'll want a procedure to re-distribute if things get too crowded.
Note that, in the event your db supports a clause like ORDER BY priority NULLS LAST, the entries for non-prioritized categories are unnecessary, and you can simply LEFT JOIN to the ordering table.
Ok, so I have a basic table called "ledger", it contains fields of various types, integers, varchar, etc.
In my program, I used to use a query with no "from" predicate to collect all of the rows, which of course works fine. But... I changed my code to allow selecting one row at a time using "where acctno = x" (where X is the account number I want to select at the time).
I thought this must be a bug in the client library for my programming language, so I tested it in the SQLite command-line client - and it still doesn't work!
I am relatively new to SQLite, but I have been using Oracle, MS SQL Server, etc. for years and never seen this type of issue before.
Other things I can tell you:
* Queries using other integer fields also don't work
* Queries on char fields work
* Querying it as a string (with the account number on quotes) still doesn't work. (I thought maybe the numbers were stored as a string inadvertently).
* Accessing rows by rowid works fine - which is why I can edit the database with GUI tools with no noticeable problem.
Examples:
Query with no WHERE (works fine):
1|0|0|JPY|8|Paid-In Capital|C|X|0|X|0|0||||0|0|0|
0|0|0|JPY|11|Root Account|P|X|0|X|0|0|SYSTEM|20121209|150000|0|0|0|
3|0|0|JPY|13|Mitsubishi Bank Futsuu|A|X|0|X|0|0|SYSTEM|20121209|150000|0|0|0|
4|0|0|JPY|14|Japan Post Bank|A|X|0|X|0|0|SYSTEM|20121209|150000|0|0|0|
...
Query with WHERE clause: (no results)
sqlite> select * from ledger where acctno=1;
sqlite>
putting quotes around the 1 above changes nothing.
Interestingly enough, "select * from ledger where acctno > 1" returns results! However since it returns ALL results, it's not terrible useful.
I'm sure someone will ask about the table structure, so here goes:
sqlite> .schema ledger
CREATE TABLE "LEDGER" (
"ACCTNO" integer(10,0) NOT NULL,
"drbal" integer(20,0) NOT NULL,
"crbal" integer(20,0) NOT NULL,
"CURRKEY" char(3,0) NOT NULL,
"TEXTKEY" integer(10,0),
"TEXT" VARCHAR(64,0),
"ACCTYPECD" CHAR(1,0) NOT NULL,
"ACCSTCD" CHAR(1,0),
"PACCTNO" number(10,0) NOT NULL,
"CATCD" number(10,0),
"TRANSNO" number(10,0) NOT NULL,
"extrefno" number(10,0),
"UPDATEUSER" VARCHAR(32,0),
"UPDATEDATE" text(8,0),
"UPDATETIME" TEXT(6,0),
"PAYEECD" number(10,0) NOT NULL,
"drbal2" number(10,0) NOT NULL,
"crbal2" number(10,0) NOT NULL,
"delind" boolean,
PRIMARY KEY("ACCTNO"),
CONSTRAINT "fk_curr" FOREIGN KEY ("CURRKEY") REFERENCES "CURRENCY" ("CUR
RKEY") ON DELETE RESTRICT ON UPDATE CASCADE
);
The strangest thing is that I have other similar tables where this works fine!
sqlite> select * from journalhdr where transno=13;
13|Test transaction ATM Withdrawel 20130213|20130223||20130223||
TransNo in that table is also integer (10,0) NOT NULL - this is what makes me thing it is something to do with the values.
Another clue is that the sort order seems to be based on ascii, not numeric:
sqlite> select * from ledger order by acctno;
0|0|0|JPY|11|Root Account|P|X|0|X|0|0|SYSTEM|20121209|150000|0|0|0|
1|0|0|JPY|8|Paid-In Capital|C|X|0|X|0|0||||0|0|0|
10|0|0|USD|20|Sallie Mae|L|X|0|X|0|0|SYSTEM|20121209|153900|0|0|0|
21|0|0|USD|21|Skrill|A|X|0|X|0|0|SYSTEM|20121209|154000|0|0|0|
22|0|0|USD|22|AES|L|X|0|X|0|0|SYSTEM|20121209|154200|0|0|0|
23|0|0|JPY|23|Marui|L|X|0|X|0|0|SYSTEM|20121209|154400|0|0|0|
24|0|0|JPY|24|Amex JP|L|X|0|X|0|0|SYSTEM|20121209|154500|0|0|0|
3|0|0|JPY|13|Mitsubishi Bank Futsuu|A|X|0|X|0|0|SYSTEM|20121209|150000|0|0|0|
Of course the sort order on journalhdr (where the select works properly) is numeric.
Solved! (sort-of)
The data can be fixed like this:
sqlite> update ledger set acctno = 23 where rowid = 13;
sqlite> select * from ledger where acctno = 25;
25|0|0|JPY|0|Test|L|X|0|X|0|0|SYSTEM|20130224|132500|0|0|0|
Still, if it was stored as strings, then that leave a few questions:
1. Why couldn't I select it as a string using the quotes?
2. How did it get stored as a string since it is a valid integer?
3. How would you go about detecting this problem normally besides noticing bizzarre symptoms?
Although the data would normally be entered by my program, some of it was created by hand using Navicat, so I assume the problem must lie there.
You are victim of SQLite dynamic typing.
Even though SQLite defines system of type affinity, which sets some rules on how input strings or numbers will be converted to actual internal values, but it does NOT prevent software that is using prepared statements to explicitly set any type (and data value) for the column (and this can be different per row!).
This can be shown by this simple example:
CREATE TABLE ledger (acctno INTEGER, name VARCHAR(16));
INSERT INTO ledger VALUES(1, 'John'); -- INTEGER '1'
INSERT INTO ledger VALUES(2 || X'00', 'Zack'); -- BLOB '2\0'
I have inserted second row not as INTEGER, but as binary string containing embedded zero byte. This reproduces your issue exactly, see this SQLFiddle, step by step. You can also execute these commands in sqlite3, you will get the same result.
Below is Perl script that also reproduces this issue
This script creates just 2 rows with acctno having values of integer 1 for first, and "2\0" for second row. "2\0" means string consisting of 2 bytes: first is digit 2, and second is 0 (zero) byte.
Of course, it is very difficult to visually tell "2\0" from just "2", but this is what script below demonstrates:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
use DBI qw(:sql_types);
my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:SQLite:test.db") or die DBI::errstr();
$dbh->do("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ledger");
$dbh->do("CREATE TABLE ledger (acctno INTEGER, name VARCHAR(16))");
my $sth = $dbh->prepare(
"INSERT INTO ledger (acctno, name) VALUES (?, ?)");
$sth->bind_param(1, "1", SQL_INTEGER);
$sth->bind_param(2, "John");
$sth->execute();
$sth->bind_param(1, "2\0", SQL_BLOB);
$sth->bind_param(2, "Zack");
$sth->execute();
$sth = $dbh->prepare(
"SELECT count(*) FROM ledger WHERE acctno = ?");
$sth->bind_param(1, "1");
$sth->execute();
my ($num1) = $sth->fetchrow_array();
print "Number of rows matching id '1' is $num1\n";
$sth->bind_param(1, "2");
$sth->execute();
my ($num2) = $sth->fetchrow_array();
print "Number of rows matching id '2' is $num2\n";
$sth->bind_param(1, "2\0", SQL_BLOB);
$sth->execute();
my ($num3) = $sth->fetchrow_array();
print "Number of rows matching id '2<0>' is $num3\n";
Output of this script is:
Number of rows matching id '1' is 1
Number of rows matching id '2' is 0
Number of rows matching id '2<0>' is 1
If you were to look at resultant table using any SQLite tool (including sqlite3), it will print 2 for second row - they all get confused by trailing 0 inside a BLOB when it gets coerced to string or number.
Note that I had to use custom param binding to coerce type to BLOB and permit null bytes stored:
$sth->bind_param(1, "2\0", SQL_BLOB);
Long story short, it is either some of your client programs, or some of client tools like Navicat which screwed it up.
I have a MySQL table Page with 2 columns: PageID and OrderByMethod.
I also then have a Data table with lots of columns including PageID (the Page the data is on), DataName, and DataDate.
I want OrderByMethod to have one of three entries: Most Recent Data First, Most Recent Data Last, and Alphabetically.
Is there a way for me to tack an "ORDER BY" clause to the end of this query that will vary its ordering method based on the contents of the "OrderByMethod" column? For example, in this query, I would want to have the ORDER BY clause contain whatever ordering rule is stored in Page 1's OrderByMethod column.
GET * FROM `Data` WHERE `Data`.`PageID`=1 ORDER BY xxxxxx;
Maybe a SELECT clause in the ORDER BY clause? I'm not sure how that would work though.
Thanks!
select Data.*
from Data
inner join Page on (Data.PageID=Page.PageID)
where Data.PageID=1
order by
if(Page.OrderByMethod='Most Recent Data First', now()-DataDate,
if(Page.OrderByMethod='Most Recent Data Last', DataDate-now(), DataName)
);
You can probably do this with the IF syntax to generate a column that you can then order by.
SELECT *, IF(Page.OrderBy = 'Alphabetically', Data.DataName, IF(Page.OrderBy = 'Most Recent Data First', NOW() - Data.DataDate, Data.DataDate - NOW())) AS OrderColumn
FROM Data
INNER JOIN Page ON Data.PageID = Page.PageID
WHERE Page.PageID = 1
ORDER BY OrderColumn
The direction of the ordering is determined in the calculation of the data instead of specifying a direction in the ORDER BY
Can you just append the order by clause to the select statement and rebind the table on postback?
If you want to use the content of the column in Page table as an expression in ORDER BY you have to do it using prepared statements. Let say, you store in OrderByMethod something like "field1 DESC, field2 ASC" and you want this string to be used as it is:
SET #order_by =(SELECT OrderByMethod FROM Page WHERE id = [value]);
SET #qr = CONCAT(your original query,' ORDER BY ', #order_by);
PREPARE stmt FROM #qr;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;
If you want the result set to be sorted based on the value of OrderByMethod , you can use IF as it was already mentioned by others, or CASE :
...
ORDER BY
CASE OrderByMethod
WHEN 'val1' THEN field_name1
WHEN 'val2' THEN field_name2
....etc
END
I've just thought about best way to store comments in database with appropriate numbers according to the article.
The idea is to store comments with composite primary key (commentId, articleId) where commentId is generated according to the given articleId. The system of generating should has same principle as IDENTITY generated columns in SQL Server, because if someone delete the comment, the number will be never used again. I guess there is not any functionality in Microsoft SQL Server to do that with composite PK, so I am asking about some replacement for this solution.
First thought was to use transaction to get MAX(commentId) + 1, but I am looking for something more abstract (maybe INSTEAD OF trigger), something that could be used for example in LINQ with no knowledge of the background, just insert to the appropriate table all required values (so no commentId) and save it.
I would use an autogenerated identity column for the commentId and have it be the primary key alone. I'd create an index on the articleId for look ups. I would also have createdDate column that is autopopulated with the current date on insertion -- mark it as db generated and readonly in LINQ so it doesn't require or try to insert/update the value. To get a numbering -- if showing them by date isn't enough -- I'd order by createdDate inversed and assign a numeric value in the select using Row_Number() or a numbering on the client side.
I would use an identity column as the key for the comments, why do you need a numbering for the comments stored in the database?
Thank you for responses, I wanted something with numbered comments because of referencing in the text of comments. I did not want to make reaction by names, sometimes one person reacts more times, so with this system, I will know to which one the person is replying.
So today I made up this INSTEAD OF INSERT trigger:
CREATE TRIGGER InsertComments ON Comments
INSTEAD OF INSERT
AS
DECLARE #Inserted TABLE
(
ArticleId INT NOT NULL,
UserId INT NOT NULL,
CommentDate DATETIME NOT NULL,
Content NVARCHAR(1000) NOT NULL,
RowNumber INT NOT NULL
)
INSERT INTO #Inserted
SELECT ArticleId, UserId, CommentDate, Content, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY CommentDate) AS RowNumber
FROM INSERTED
DECLARE #NumberOfRows INT = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #Inserted)
DECLARE #i INT = 1
WHILE (#i <= #NumberOfRows)
BEGIN
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE
BEGIN TRAN
DECLARE #CommentId INT = (SELECT ISNULL(MAX(CommentId), 0)
FROM Comments WHERE ArticleId = (SELECT ArticleId
FROM #Inserted WHERE RowNumber = #i)) + 1
INSERT INTO Comments(CommentId, ArticleId, UserId, CommentDate, Content)
SELECT #CommentId, ArticleId, UserId, CommentDate, Content
FROM #Inserted WHERE RowNumber = #i
COMMIT
SET #i = #i + 1
END
I know this is not the perfect solution, but it works exactly how I needed. If any of you has some comments, I'll be happy to read them.
