noob syntax question

What am I doing wrong?:
DELETE FROM tblmainacs2 WHERE tblmainacs2.IDnum = Meter.id

I get this message:
Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The multi-part identifier "Meter.id" could not be bound.

Is Meter a table? If so you do contain an explicit reference to it in the DELETE statement in the FROM clause or part of subquery for example. You can write it like below assuming you want to perform a join:

delete from tblmainacs2

where IDnum in (select id from Meter)

|||Thank you. That query did exaclty what I wanted. Could someone show me some different queries that do exactly the same thing, just for learning purposes. Thanks in advancesql

non-updatable views

can i create a non-updatable view?
i cannot use user level restrictions.Check out the "CREATE VIEW" page in SQL Server 2000 Books Online, which
outlines some rules to make views updatable, and see if you can use one of
those rules to make your views non-updatable. For example, if the view
definition contains a derived column, that view cannot be updated. Here's a
quick example:
CREATE VIEW MyView AS SELECT Col1, Col2, 'X' AS NotUpdatable FROM MyTable

Non-Homogenous Hierachy

I have a request to make a hierarchy where by each level in the tree is not
from the same table.
Originally it was ok the first 3 levels where of the same table so I simply
added a ParentID field and make a self referencing foreign key to the table.
However, after the 3rd level the items come from 3 other tables.
Categories Table
Level1
Level2
Level3
Other Table1
Level4
Other Table2
Level5
The linkage is ok but I need to generate/populate a treeview object from
this. Forming the tree is a bit awkward as when a node is selected I need
to set in the database that the child nodes are selected. Normally I could
use a CTE expression to traverse the tree but depending on what level you
select you need to traverse different tables which makes the statement
difficult.
I'd love to find a way to represent the hierarchy in a single table so I can
do parent/child ID lookups in the same table.
Any thoughts/suggestions really appreciated.
TIA

Hi
Could you not create a view that Unions the three tables? There is no
information on the table structures (DDL), example data or what you
are returning to the treeview!! (see http://www.aspfaq.com/etiquette.asp?id=5006)
A different approach may be to use XML and the ability in SQL 2005 to
have nested statements.

Non Usesfull error Message

ERROR MSG:

Msg 515, Level 16, State 2, Server SQL\CIS, Procedure ssp_gas_CustomerCancellation_A, Line 161

Cannot insert the value NULL into column '', table ''; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.

The statement has been terminated.

Why didn't it actually tell me the Column and table name? i've never seen this before?

Anyone can help

Thanks

Marios

Oh I know this isn't the right forum but i couldn't find the right one to post in.

How is the procedure executed?

Not sure about why the error message is like that. Are there many fields in the table that do not allow nulls, I'd start checking those.

|||

It is called from another Stored Procedure the Stored Procedure that it rasises the error in is about 600lines of code and there are serval places where it Inserts int Tables and Temp Tables. I've looked at the data passed and which fields they are passed in to but i don't see where this error happends. It has only happend in our Production Database i can not so far reproduce it in our development environment. I don't understand why it doesn't show me the column and table

Thanks

Marios

|||

Do you explicity create your temporary tables or create/populate them through select into statments? Maybe that is why it doesn't show the table/column name (the fact that that it is a temporary table).

Nevermind, just tested that and it doesn't seem to be the case.

|||

no i explicitly defne the tables for temp tables before using them and but they are declare

CREATE #TableName

(

)

|||The only other thing I can think of, and I realize it may be impractical due to the large amount of code within the stored procedure is to use try...catch statements.|||i can't because it's a SQL 2000 server

Non Clustered Index

Hi ,
When I creare a non clustered index , I get error as show below ,
Server: Msg 1904, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot specify more than 16 column names for statistics or index key list.
21 specified.
SQL Server only support up to 16 key values ?
Travis Tan
First off, this question should be posted in
Microsoft.public.sqlserver.programming. Clustering is a technology which
allows individual computers to share the same data and back each other up to
prevent system failures. Clients connect to a virtual server, whose
resources float between nodes which form the cluster.
Clustered indexes are when the data is clustered or grouped in a predefined
format or order for rapid retrieval of ranges of data.
16 columns makes your index very large and I suspect inefficient. You may be
able to use an indexed view to group your data in different orders for your
particular usage. And yes, clustered indexes only support a maximum of 16
columns or keys in SQL 200x.

|||Yes. Why are you trying to create an index with 21 columns in it? That is
quite a bit beyond overkill.

|||Hi
Wrong newsgroup, crossposted to microsoft.public.sqlserver.programming
Why would you want to create a compound index of 16 or more columns? Your
query has to be very specific to be able to use it and the overhead
maintaining it will be high too.
If you have a table, with columns A-Z and you build and index on A, B, C, D
(in that column sequence), a where clause on A, B, C could use the index, a
query on column B can't, neither can a query on C, D. Column A always has to
be involved as it is the 1st sort sequence for the column.
Maybe the DB design is not optimal if you need to go to such extremes.
