The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

function based index in mS SQl Server

Tags: Microsoft, MS SQl Server
Is it possible to have the same thing as accepted in http:Q_23165684.html (and in code snippet) for oracle to have in MS Sql-Server? Or what would be needed in MS SQL-Server to achieve only certain combination of data?

Currently have no time to dig through the manual and search for the syntax.

in ms sql server, you cannot have a "function-based index".
the corresponding functionality would be to create a computed column, index that column, and query on that column.
you cannot make it work as transparent as on oracle...
 
02.19.2008 at 02:43AM PST, ID: 20927109
Is it possible to use the following triggers or isn't it allowed to do a select on the same table where the trigger happens (like in the code snippet for MySQL ?) on oracle I got a mutating row problem with those triggers.

How would I create such a computed column in MS-SQL for that example:
If column histtop == 'Y' then the computed column should contain the LK, else NULL and the I would be able to use UNIQUE INDEX on that column?
1:
2:
CREATE TRIGGER htcu_ORC_OrgUnit` BEFORE UPDATE ON `ORC_OrgUnit` FOR EACH ROW BEGIN if ((NEW.`LK` = 0) OR (NEW.`histtop` = 'Y' AND (SELECT count(*) FROM `ORC_OrgUnit` WHERE `ORC_OrgUnit`.`histtop`='Y' AND `ORC_OrgUnit`.`LKt`=NEW.`LK` AND `ORC_OrgUnit`.`PK`<>NEW.`PK`) > 0)) THEN call RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20000, 'duplicate histtop');  END IF; END;//
CREATE TRIGGER `htci_ORC_OrgUnit` BEFORE INSERT ON `ORC_OrgUnit` FOR EACH ROW BEGIN if ((NEW.`LK` = 0) OR (NEW.`histtop` = 'Y' AND (SELECT count(*) FROM `ORC_OrgUnit` WHERE `ORC_OrgUnit`.`histtop`='Y' AND `ORC_OrgUnit`.`LK`=NEW.`LK`) > 0)) THEN call RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20000, 'duplicate histtop');  END IF; END;//

take this script that should explain it all.
note: UNIQUE INDEX will not be possible unless you had only 1 single NULL value in that column.

insert into t values ( 12, 'N')

Ok fixed the issue by using an unique index and adding a prefix to LK or PK depending on histtop. This way I can ensure that combination of data I only want
1:
2:
ALTER TABLE t ADD "histtopcons" AS CASE WHEN "histtop" = 'Y' then 'L' + CAST("LK" AS VarChar(12)) else 'P' + CAST("PK" AS VarChar(12)) END
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX t_dhidx ON t ("histtopcons")
