Queries :: Insert Into One To Many PK And FK Insert
Mar 25, 2015
I have a normalized DB with one to many relationships, using Primary and Foreign Keys.
I need to do inserts and maintain the PK/FK relationship, which means when I add a new PK I need to insert that PK as FK in other tables in the same transaction.
How do I do this in Access? SQL Server I use transactions, but I can't lock up the tables in Access like that.
I did a bunch of searching and found nothing, which leads me to believe I am way off in my thinking. Below are the dirty details
I have 2 tables, tblName and tblPhone. 1 name can have many phones.
tblName has PKName. tblPhone has PKPhone, FKName.
I have a form where user enters a new Name and PhoneNumber.
Name gets inserted to tblName, assigned with PKName = 100
Phone should get inserted into tblPhone with PKName.
IE Insert into tblPhone (FKName, PhoneNum) VALUES (100,"212-555-1212").
The dumb way I am doing it now is I insert to tblName, query tblname for the PK, then write to tblPhone. This can't be right.
I am at work, and I have acquired a database that prints labels. They now want the database to be coded so that after certain labels are printed the database will print a blank label. I have the code figured out as a Do While statement in order to print the blank label. The problem I am having is that I am trying to use the Insert Into command to insert the filepath into the table that adds the blank label.
|DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO Rod_tmakLabels ( Print, [Order] ) SELECT Yes AS Expr1, 'Rods Labels' AS Expr2"|
If I run the above command, it just adds the text "Rods Labels" at the end of the table. Is there anyway with the INSERT INTO command that I can insert the new label between the 2nd and 3rd row and add another row? Or is the command designed only to add a new row to the end? I haven't had any luck searching for this yet.
I need to devise a query to append data for a particular Department_ID from TBL_NEWDATA to TBL_PERSON_ALLOCATIONS where that data does not already exist there. i.e. for Department_ID 'Research', I would want to append 'Person_ID', 'Department_ID' (in this case: 'Research') to TBL_PERSON_ALLOCATIONS for any tuples not already held.
INSERT INTO TBL_PERSON_ALLOCATIONS (Person_ID, Department_ID) SELECT Person_ID, Department_ID FROM TBL_NEWDATA WHERE TBL_NEWDATA.Department_ID='Form...'
[code]...
This Query takes a single argument from a control (Forms!Main!IN_Department), and this is the Department_ID to be updated.Is there any way to do this using a single query or will I have to use sub queries? I'd hoped not to as to keep the database as concise as possible.
PartID and SpecID are long integer, Sequence is integer.
I originally had Me.txtKey in the SQL, but I saw a comment in a post about that being a possible culprit. So I copied it into a long integer, still didn't work (latest trial above).
I'm trying to set up a data import function as follows: The user fills out a form, generating an entry in the Orders table. After pushing a button, line item data will be imported from an excel spreadsheet. I've got most of this working- I have a temp table that gets cleared out and then populated from the excel spreadsheet which is then deleted, all working fine. My hangup is when I try and get the line item data out of the temp table. I need to append the Order unique ID from the textbox on the form to each line item. Here's the select statement part of the insert into:
SELECT Forms!frmOrder!OrderID AS OrderID, ItemsID, NumUsed FROM tblTempOrder
This gets the line items fine, but puts an Ankh symbol as the OrderID for each line item.
I am trying to reformat a string of text so that it is easier to read on a report.Based on the text, it seems like the best thing to do is to insert a carriage return before a date/time stamp.Here is the data (it's a conversation log)...it is three unique conversation log entries:
04/13/2014 8:21PM - all work and no play is no fun - Bob Smith04/13/2014 8:21PM - this is a test of the emergency broadcast system - Bob Smith04/13/2014 8:20PM - log testing - Bob Smith
If the carriage return is before the date/time string, then all entries would look the same. If the carriage return is after the date/time string.A user had suggested a child table to break out the data into separate records, but I'm sad to say that I never worked with child tables. Any way for replacing 'Date/time stamp' with 'carriage return' & 'Date/time stamp"
Where would you put the INSERT INTO statement in a query? Would it go after the select statement but before the From statement or would it go at the end?
I was wondering if someone could help? I am using Access 2002 and I am struggling to find out out how you can insert/update/delete records through a form using the design view. Is this possible or do you need to do this another way?
Could some one point me in the direction of a comprehensive tutorial or outline some instructions for what I need to do?
I need to create a form that inserts people's details into a table
When user types in a surname as a parameter query, up pops the form with the details of the person stored in the database, and the user can update the details through the form and the details are saved to the table they came from.
I have a UNION of two SELECT queries. It works very well but I need the end-user to be able to modify the data so I am using INSERT INTO tablename. This will work for one query at a time but if I try to use the UNION it reports “Syntax error in FROM clause”. Can you use UNION in this case or can anyone see my error?
The full statement is rather complex, I have added a few spaces and linebreaks to make it readable as follows:
INSERT INTO TableCompleteForMailing
SELECT [Address List].[FamilySurname] AS Surname,
[Address List].[DEARFirstnames] AS FirstName,
[Address List].[Mailing] AS Mailing,
[Address List].[Christmas Mailing] AS OtherMailing, [Address List].[Address 1] AS Address1,
[Address List].[Postcode] AS Postcode
FROM [Address List]
UNION
SELECT [Names].[LastName] AS Surname,
[Names].[FirstName] AS FirstName,
[Names].[MailingList] AS Mailing,
[Names].[Selected] AS OtherMailing,
[Address List].[Address 1] AS Address1,
[Address List].[Postcode] AS Postcode
FROM [Names],[Address List]
WHERE [Names].[AddressListID]=[Address List].[AddressListID]
So, I am inserting new records into a table. The values in the decimals are being stored as zeroes.
Field Properties Long Integer Standard (I also tried Currency) 2 Decimal Places
When I remove the "INSERT INTO" part of the query, the decimal data is in the results. I started out not using the FORMAT function. Then I tried it using "Standard", "Currency", and "#,##0.00"
I have a form with many fields and one field has an OnChange event to run an insert query or log an entry in a table about the change. I get insert entry written with everything except one field.The OnChange event code is:
Code: If AddressStatusFld = 2 Then 'If it has changed from Current to Non-Current create a Contact Log entry for this matte If (Val([MatterShortNoFld]) Mod 2 = 1) Then Me.OperatorFld = 16
[code]....
I just can't work out why the record in MatterContactsMade table has a null value for the field Operator.
I want to insert an if statement in Access report that states.If the interviewer field is not null them put in the interviewer. If it is null then don't put anything.I have 5 of the interviewer fields and don't want empty lines in the report.
there is a query which i made which counts data from two tables RAUTH AND PERS

I need to know the best way to insert data into the backend without cause major bloating of the backend. I am currently inserting about 20k records at a time using an INSERT INTO statement. The backend went from 83mb to 511mb trying to insert the last 20k records.
I created an update query to a text field in a table. However, it inserts the data at the end of the string and I need to insert it at the beginning of the string that already exists. How do I move it to the front instead of the end?
I am trying to make a query that outputs the minimum "Need Year" AND ALSO if the need year was equal to 9999 it shows "NO DATA".
This is what I have so far for checking the minimum value:
field: Need Year: MinofList(PMS_output!pqi_ny,PMS_output!iri_ny,PMS_ output!sdi_ny,pms_output!sai_ny)
I am not sure if I should be putting it in the criteria to check whether this minimum value (need year) equals to 9999 or not and if it does, it says "NO DATA" instead of 9999.
How to take the results of query and copy them to a column in a table?
I am using sharepoint and ms access together, and Sharpoint in this instance will not reference the result of the query. I can only use table fields with Sharepoint...major pain....
Example, I need riders name, weight and height from the column in ALL INfo query to automatically fill the column table in ALL Info
I have a sub table that acts as a revision history for the items in my main table. I've just finished uploading all the records into the main table and now I want to insert one record into the subtable for each record in the main table to start the history with the record creation.
The sub table looks like this:
tblRevisions - RevID (auto Number / primary Key) - RevDate (date of revision) - RevName (Who made the revision) - RevDesc (What revision was made) - RevAuthorized (Who authorized the revision) - RevLabel (Foreign key to the primary table)
The info I want to insert is:
RevID - Auto Number RevDate - 11/27/2013 RevName - 3 RevDesc - "Added Label to database" RevAuthorized - 1 RevLabel - (One for each record ID in tblLabels)
I suspect that I want to start with an insert into statement, something along the lines of:
Code:
Insert into tblRevisions (Revdate, RevName, RevDesc, RevAuthorized, RevLabel) Values ("11/27/2013",3,"Added label to database", 1, ?)
I'm not sure how to indicate that there should be one label for each Record in tblLabels or that revLabel value should match the ID from tblLabels though.
