I need to create a procedure which repeats itself several times. Let's say I want to change a character's position in a browser game for 3 minutes from one place to another. Its coordinates change constantly in the database. I need it to be dynamic so that I can use this code to move the character to more places in a different amount of time depending on the parameters passed to the procedure.
How can I do it?
Does jobs solve the problem? If so, how can I do it with jobs?
You could use the RAND() function to generate random coordinates, and a sql agent job to run the procedure throughout the day.
Since you mentioned that the coordinates change constantly in the database, you can have an update trigger that runs the stored procedure you have in mind instead of relying on a job. Let me know if you need more info on this.

I have 5 queries
all are dependent on one by one
i have to run all queries in one time but it will be executed in sequence
it's possible..?
please help me
You can build a stored procedure and execute each query in desired order by placing the queries in corresponding execution order
you can use SSIS's sequence or process container to execute all of your SQL encapsulated in stored procedure at the same time, the provided screenshot show's processes in precedence, but you can also design them to execute at the same time.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!

My manager has asked me to write a program that pulls data from a database that I have access to (it's an Oracle database and I'm using SQL developer). The idea is to get the data they want and put into an excel sheet in a way they would like. I haven't really wrote scripts before nor have I ever wrote a scraper, I was wondering what the first step is here and what resources I should use to get started? I have a couple of weeks to do this but I don't really know where to start.
I would start with an SQL query to find the data your manager wants. If you got the right result on screen, just right-click into the query result, select 'Export', and format= Excel...

I am deploying an application at one of our vendor. We have few special character that needs to be removed using a function. Vendor is really slow with any changes that we request.
I have access to one of the configuration table that we use to save configuration table.
I want to save a SQL function in the table column that I will fetch at run-time and will execute it.
I am not sure if its a good programming practice. Please suggest if this should not be used then why or is there any other way to do it?
Database is SQL Server. Suggest if it's a good programming practice.
A better practice would be to write your function in such a way that you don't have to change it every time a new special character pops up.
Instead of writing a function that filters out a predefined set of special characters, why don't you write a function that allows a predefined set of non-special characters? Then you should never have to change it.
you can use a Computed column in sql server, for me it's not a good practice depending on the scenario that you are trying to achieve but I think this might help you

i'm wanting to write data into memory only for a temp time. the format is essentially the same as an sql table with say 5 columns and 1,000 rows, give or take. simply i want to store this data and run queries against it to make calculations, sorting it, querying it to then produce chart reports and excel data.
I looked at custom psobjects and then sql and i can't see why i'd use custom psobjects over sql, what do you think?
I also couldn't see that adding multiple rows as such, using psobjects was as straight forward as adding another row in sql.
thanks
steve
I guess it depends on what you're more comfortable with, but if you're going to do it in Powershell then using PS custom objects seems like a logical choice since the cmdlets were designed to work with those.

I have never done this before, and I'm not sure if it is possible. Basically, I have a big query that takes around 1-2 minutes to run. What I'd like to do is:
automatically execute and put result into a table every hour.
My webpage will then query against the temporary table instead, which should be quicker.
I am looking for the steps to do this like. First, create a stored procedure. Second, setup somewhere to run the store procedure automatically. I'm not sure how to proceed — can you suggest how?
SQL server supports running scheduled jobs. You can look here.

Also check this question, it should give you
a very good idea of the steps you need to take.
