Can someone please help me write a stored procedure? I run a query
(see below) for 50 tables and for every day of the month. I would like
a SP which can provide data with results as follows:

Srv_Name, DB_Name, Table_Name, Date_Of_Records, Total_Records,
Min_SerNumber, Max_SerNumber, Should_Be_Total_Records, Missing_Records


The query I currently run for each table and each single data is
below:

set nocount on
PRINT 'Table: info_table_01
DateTime: BETWEEN 01 sep 2004 00:00 and 01 sep 2004 23:59 '
go
select
count(*) AS 'Total Records' ,
min (SerNumber) AS 'MIN SerNumber'
max (SerNumber) AS 'MAX SerNumber',
max (SerNumber)- min (SerNumber)+1 AS 'Should be total Records',
count(*) - (max (SerNumber)- min (SerNumber)+1) AS 'Missing Records'
from info_table_01
WHERE DateTime BETWEEN '01 sep 2004 00:00' and '01 sep 2004 23:59'
go


RESULTS:

Table: info_table_01
DateTime: BETWEEN 01 sep 2004 00:00 and 01 sep 2004 23:59
TotalRec MinSerNum MMaxSerNum ShouldBeTotalRec MisRec
-------- --------- ---------- ---------------- -------
69023 00054 69090 69027 4


Any help would be very appriciate.

Why are there 50 tables to start with? I don't know, but it sounds like a
bad table design to me.

Anyway, there are a couple of options, which one that works the best
depends your evironment. But my primary suggestion would be to create
a inlined table function that spans all these 50 databases. The body of
the function would look like:

select Srv_Name = 'SERVER1', DB_Name = 'db1',
Table_Name = 'info_table1', Date_of_Records = @date
count(*) AS 'Total Records' ,
min (SerNumber) AS 'MIN SerNumber'
max (SerNumber) AS 'MAX SerNumber',
max (SerNumber)- min (SerNumber)+1 AS 'Should be total Records',
count(*) - (max (SerNumber)- min (SerNumber)+1) AS 'Missing
Records'
from SERVER1.db1.dbo.info_table_01
WHERE DateTime >= @date and DateTime < dateadd(DAY, 1, @date)
UNION ALL
select Srv_Name = 'SERVER1', DB_Name = 'db2',
Table_Name = 'info_table2', Date_of_Records = @date
count(*) AS 'Total Records' ,
min (SerNumber) AS 'MIN SerNumber'
max (SerNumber) AS 'MAX SerNumber',
max (SerNumber)- min (SerNumber)+1 AS 'Should be total Records',
count(*) - (max (SerNumber)- min (SerNumber)+1) AS 'Missing
Records'
from SERVER1.db2.dbo.info_table_02
WHERE DateTime >= @date and DateTime < dateadd(DAY, 1, @date)
UNION ALL
...

I made this a table-valued function to accomodate for the date parameter,
but essentially this is the same as a view.

If the set of tables is fairly static, you could develop and maintain
this beast manually. If there are plenty of changes, you may prefer to
write a program that generates the function from an input list. Such
code could be written in T-SQL, but could just as well be written in
C, Visual Basic, Perl or whatever.

Note also, by the way, that I changed the condition for the DateTime
column. I figured that you want to include events from the last minute
of the day as well.

Thanks. I am using only one SQL Server but 50 tables. I need to run the
query every day and for all 50 tables.

Is there a way I can combine the list of all tables from such a query:

SELECT DISTINCT so.name
FROM sysobjects AS so
INNER JOIN syscolumns AS sc
ON so.id=sc.id
WHERE so.name like 't_%' AND sc.name = 'DateTime' AND sc.name
='SerNum'.

Also is there a way to specify how many days I want the records of i.e.
3 days, 7 days or 30 days etc.,

BTW the above query has a little issue too, I have mutiple WHERE filter,
I can not have more then one "AND", currently I am using only one "AND"
and one "OR".

Thanks for your help

You also posted this same question to microsoft.public.sqlserver.server.
Please don't post the same question independently to multiple groups as this
causes duplication of effort.
