I'm working on a project with a co-worker and I was working on creating a database for some integration of data for his workflow.

I was trying to figure out...

Table "a" is not mentioned in any filter or join condition.

Of course, every its row being applied to every record of the joined recordset of other 2 tables.

Is it how...

1. Normalise your data.

Here I do normalisation on-fly,...

Jeff - Look at the fourth and sixth small paragraph of my original post. I did exactly what you are suggesting I did not do. I...

I guess this one is self-confessing:

alter table [Order]

add

DateTimeOrdered as dbo.JsonDateTime([Json], 'DateTimeOrdered', 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss') persisted

go

create index IX_Order_DateTimeOrdered on [Order](DateTimeOrdered)

What to add?

Extract all the other values from b..y...

This should be enough:

---------------------[dbo].[Transaction]-----------------

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Transaction] ADD CONSTRAINT [PK_Transaction] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED

(

[TransactionDate] ASC,

[ReferenceNumber] ASC

)

The rest of the parameters, as I can understand, are optional, and adding them to...

SELECT DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, [date/time])/7*7), 0) WeekStart,

, sum(amount1), SUM(amount2)

FROM #Data

GROUP BY DATEPART(wk, DataDate);

No datefirst settings involved.

Converting of week start date to week number I leave to you, as...

Another question: what's gonna happen if I change a column data type from, say, varchar(50) to nvarchar(100)?

Or add a new column in between 2 existing ones?

I'm sure it is doable e.g. create a table data type which contains names and values and loop through the values trade=roofer, name=John

I'm just starting to think it...

Sometimes I just can't see the solutions even when it's right in front of me. Never thought of using a union. or a compound operator.

One question is the...

Not sure yet, this is a work in progress. Given the nature of the data the number of columns returned from the source would be variable as would the...
