Sum Time in Sql
I am trying to sum up time and almost did it. Now I would like to sum up top 2 time as follows:[code="vb"]SELECT TOP 2*, ISNULL((RIGHT('00' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), SUM(DATEDIFF(MINUTE, FromTime, ToTime)) / 60), 2) + ':' + RIGHT('00' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(2), SUM(DATEDIFF(Minute, FromTime, ToTime)) % 60), 2) + ':' + RIGHT('00' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(2), SUM(DATEDIFF(SECOND, FromTime, ToTime)) % 60), 2)), 0) AS TotalTime FROM Demo GROUP BY ID, FromTime, ToTime[/code]The output is as follows:[img]https://s17.postimg.io/s0wxtvlbz/img.png[/img]So is there any way or still possible to add the sum of the TotalTime column at the end? I would appreciate if any idea is shared. Thanks.

Ensuring logins are not used
There are approximately 30 logins on one of our PROD instances of SQL Server that I believe are unused. Here is what I have checked so far:1) Audited failed and successful logins for 1 month2) Used RedGate SQL Search to ensure the logins aren't hard-coded into any DB objectsIs there anything else I should check to see if a login is being used? Thanks!

Blocked Process Alert issues
This is really beginning to annoy me.I have Blocked Process Alerts on every single server in our environment. The alerts are set to email us when the blocked processes get above 2. So what happens? Our DEV server (not Production, not any of the others) is constantly sending emails out about the blocked processes. I finally got annoyed and set up a job to try and catch the blocked processes (runs every 3 minutes). The problem is, the job isn't catching the events that trigger the alerts. In fact, it's catching other blocking events that don't trigger the alerts. I'm about at my wits end.Does anyone have any suggestions on code that can assist me with catching whatever is causing the alerts?The code I'm using I got from Ian Stirk's website / blog. It's attached for reference if you want to see it.

SQL Connections Not Reported
Hello,I know this topic is covered all over the Internet, however, I am unable to find a post that explains the behavior that I am seeing in a manner I understand. I've read quite a bit about connection pooling and I am confused at this point so I will explin what I am seeing. Mind you that this is from a Systems perspective.NETSTAT -AN results in 700 connections in an [u]ESTABLISHED[/u] state from the SQL Server to itself on port 1433.The following returns 300 less connectionsSELECT COUNT(dbid) as TotalConnectionsFROM sys.sysprocessesWHERE dbid > 0 I've tried many other means that people have posted for getting a connection count and the results remain the same. I have looked as sp_whoisactive to include sleeping spids, sp_who, sp_who2 and summing up the results and they line up with the SQL query above.I've looked at process explorer and the connections tab of the properties for processes that are connected and using SQL. I see no smoking gun.I've looked at .NET performance counters and can see some minute connection pool activity. I've turned on the ODBC counters and see no activity for connection pools.So, I am struggling to understand why I have 300 missing connections that appear as ESTABLISHED in the netstat output.Has anyone encountered this scenario that would be willing to share a proven troubleshooting routine that would expose what has these connections open or prove why they are open?#EDIT# Since 10 people have looked at this and no suggestions I will pose yet another related question. As this server is a VM and I have seen what I believe is an issue with VEEAM causing access to SQL halt when the backup snapshot is removed, is there any chance that SQL wouldn't show the connections but netstat would still think that they are established? I didn't think that it was possible but I'm scratching my head on this one. In the Windows event log I see some NTFS event ID 57 messages at the same time that the sql logs I show a series of these events for each database.I/O is frozen on database X. No user action is required. However, if I/O is not resumed promptly, you could cancel the backup.I/O was resumed on database X. No user action is required.Database backed up. Database X, creation date.....I assume that this can't be the case as the events all happen sub second and the backup completes. Thus I doubt that existing connections are getting orphaned if you will if there is even such a thing. Beyond this the server looks as healthy as one can get.

SSIS Script Reference Missing
I cannot permanently add the assembly Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel into a SSIS script. While in the script editor it works just fine, but if I exit the script editor then go back into it the reference is gone.I have searched online and found others who have similar problems, e.g. https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/9a6b1867-b787-4f4d-9a57-abf651b2292c/referencing-microsoftofficeinteropexceldll?forum=sqlintegrationservices However I cannot get any suggested solution to work.I can see the assembly is included in the C:\Windows\assembly folder. I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 on a 64 bit computer. The BIDS version is 9.0.30729.4462.If I add the reference with the script editor open, then in the Project Explorer window under References I have the following 3 Microsoft references:- Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel- Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS- Microsoft.SqlServer.ScriptTaskWhen I close the editor and reopen it the first reference is gone but the other two remain.Can someone please tell me how I can add the reference permanently?

Queries and joins with different locations.
I am trying to set up a query that will report on quantities ordered, shipped and backordered (those that didn't ship).The issue is that I am ordering from one location and may be able to ship from that location, sometimes from another location and sometime the original location and another.The part that is difficult is when I order from an original location and ship part of the order from another. Even though I shipped only from one location I need to show both locations.If I have the following schema and data:[code]IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#Order') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #OrderIF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#Product') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #ProductCREATE TABLE #Order( OrderNumber VARCHAR(10) , Location VARCHAR(20) , Total INT)CREATE TABLE #Product( OrderNumber VARCHAR(10) , Product VARCHAR(20) , Location VARCHAR(20) , Quantity INT)INSERT #OrderVALUES ( '001', 'Dallas', 10 )INSERT #ProductVALUES ( '001', 'WidgetA', 'Dallas', 3 ) INSERT #OrderVALUES ( '002', 'Dallas', 20 )INSERT #ProductVALUES ( '002', 'WidgetB', 'Hampton', 8 ) INSERT #OrderVALUES ( '003', 'Dallas', 15 )INSERT #ProductVALUES ( '003', 'WidgetC', 'Dallas', 3 )INSERT #ProductVALUES ( '003', 'WidgetC', 'Hampton', 7 )[/code]I want to end up with the following result:[code]Order# Product Location Qty Ordered Qty Shipped Qty Backordered001 WidgetA Dallas 10 3 7002 WidgetB Dallas 20 0 12002 WidgetB Hampton 8 8 0003 WidgetC Dallas 15 3 5003 WidgetC Hampton 7 7 0[/code]So for 001, we have ordered for Dallas and shipped 3 from Dallas, so they all show on one line.For 002, we have ordered for Dallas, but shipped from Hampton, so we have 2 lines (one for each location).For 003, we have ordered 15 for Dallas and shipped 3 from Dallas and 7 from Hampton. So we again have two rows.How would I set up the query to handle this.The problem is that joins don't seem to work by themselvesThanks,Tom
