  • RE: Many-to-Many relationships with foreign key constraints?

    I've actually been thinking about that, but it would involve adding at least 12 more tables to my DB.

    I did find an interesting article on "Junk Dimensions" in SQL Server...

  • RE: Insert Statement & Column Order

    I used to think that, but given how Indexes are set up (depending on the Clustered or Non-Clustered) and whether or not you have Triggers / Defaults / Etc... I...

  • RE: Arithmetic Query

    Ryan,

    If you read his first post, he doesn't want to SUM the QuantityShipped. And I was only addressing the math problem, not the GROUP BY (although I should have...

  • RE: Arithmetic Query

    Your aggregate is in the wrong place.

    Your code = (SUM([Unit Price] * QuantityShipped) / QuantityShipped) AS [A.S.P]

    SUM should be on the outside of the parens, not inside the...

  • RE: Many-to-Many relationships with foreign key constraints?

    Tomm,

    You are correct. This is exactly what my BUs and Boss want to accomplish with this. Historical auditing as well as reporting.

    I'd love to see this paper of...

  • RE: Many-to-Many relationships with foreign key constraints?

    Hmm. That's a point I hadn't taken into consideration. I'm pretty new to all this DW / Cube stuff and am following the requirements laid out by the...

  • RE: Many-to-Many relationships with foreign key constraints?

    Actually re-assessing is what I'm in the middle of.

    Problem is Datawarehouse design where I have to account for changing Entity records (different types of people where each "type" is in...

    But if I misunderstood your question and you're just trying to run it on all DBs in Dev (for instance) and then later move it to test...

  • RE: Adding the same SP to multiple DB's

    First of all, you shouldn't be creating the stored procedure in all three environments at the same time. It violates the SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) process and could...

  • RE: OLE DB Source is slower than view

    Michael,

    Your last post actually made sense. Until of course, I created another data flow task.

    Of course, I can't be sure until I've finished running this step, but it appears...

  • RE: Linked Server Login Mappings

    I'd rather not have to add yet another SQL Login to my databases. And I don't want to give permissions to the current SQL Logins to this particular database....

  • RE: Update column on existing table in Data Flow Task???

    Michael,

    Does SQL Server support the parameter names consistantly?

    Also, once I do this Update, I'm pretty much done with this data flow. I don't need to add a destination afterwards,...

  • RE: OLE DB Source is slower than view

    Michael,

    Actually, you can manually turn on the IsSorted property with the "Table or View" option. In fact, it's required in order to use a MERGE JOIN component right after...

  • RE: OLE DB Source is slower than view

    Hmm. Interestingly enough, the solution seems to be to change the Source from "Table or View" to "SQL Command" and to use an actual SELECT statement with defined column...
