Common Data In Two Tables Of Different Size, How Do I Append From One To The Other..?
Jul 23, 2006
Hello,
Firstly I would like to state that i have very little knowledge of Access databases (my job is not computer related) but I am trying my best to get a few issues sorted...
So here it goes: I have 2 tables, one large table with about 3-4000 rows(horizontal lines), and a smaller table with only about 1000 rows.
The rows in the big table contain Products (name, dates, adresses, phone numbers etc) and every product has a 'Codename' in a column-line (vertical)
of the big table. (there are about 3000-4000 products)
In the small table there exists a similar column-line (vertical) that contains 'Codenames' of the Products listed in the big table, but there are only ~ 1000 'Codenames' not the full 4000 ! The reason for this is that in the small table there exists another column-line(vertical) that for every code listed (in the small table) contains a certain specific "description".
My task is to get all the 1000 "descriptions" from the small table inserted into the Big table accordingly to their proper 'Codename'. This means createing a new column in the big table and: if the codename exists in small-table insert the description in the new column-cell, if the codename doesnt exist in small-table leave new-cell empty...
How do i do this ? :) Im guessing some coding is envolved.. and i have no clue whatsoever....
Thank you,

I am doing a project where we are collecting home owner data and information on all the dogs in the household. The data for homeowner has an autonumber primary key because no field is unique or has been consistently collected. I am struggling to link the data for the dogs to the owners because an autonumber primary key will not work since not all homes have dogs. I need to have this set up so that people who are not tech savvy can look up each homeowner (or dog) and get the dog (or home owner) information. And to make things even more fun we need up to 15 potential dogs per household each of whom will have 18 different pieces of data collected.
It looks a little like this (and you can see my not matching ID issue):
Homeowner table ID First Name Last Name...........Total Dogs 1 Max Maximus 5 2 Min Minimus 0 3 Mus Musculus 1
Dogs 1-5 table ID Date Dog 1 Name Dog 2 Name .......Dog 5 Name 1 (Max's) 4/11/14 Bobby Billy Betty 2 (Mus's) 4/11/14 Jojo
Min will have no dog records at all, just home information.how to link the dog's to the homeowners .
I have a feedback database with 3 tables, one for complaints, compliments and other. They have the standard common fields such as name, address, date received, nature of enquiry, investigating officer etc etc.A person can have more than one record in the complaints table and that same person could also have 1 one more records in the compliments and others table. What I would like to do is to be able to display the data for that same person that appears in the complaints, compliments and others table in a report using a search facility by either name or address. This will therefore display the number of times that this person has made contact together with dates and the reasons.
Hi, when I run a simple append query, I get the following message below (See attached) I tried the solution in microsofts website that I have to set all text fields to AllowZeroLength to Yes, and i did that in both the table the data comes from, and the table the data is appended to. Still cant get it to work? Any other suggestions or is there somthign simple that im missing?
I have being playing with ms access but I really don't know much about it or databases in general.I have created a very simple database to gather twitter following/followers data for research purposes.One table (table01) has a field for the "boss" user (=the user who I gather data for), another field for "client" (=bosses followers or friends).Both fields are numeric and contain the users id's.In order to distinguish if the link is follower or friend there is a third field, called type which can be either 1 (=follower) or 2 (=friend).So the data would look like this:
boss - client - type 12345, 67890, 1 12345, 54321, 2
If user with user id 12345 had a follower (type 1) with user id 67890 and a friend with user id 54321...In order to avoid getting duplicate rows I also added a unique identifier which is of the form boss_id-user_id-type.So the above row looks like this:
That works just fine.For several reasons I also needed data of the form source - target.So I also made another table (table02) of this form.
67890, 12345 12345, 54321 ...
In table 2 you don't need the "type" field since the position of the user id shows the type of relationship.Still, you need a unique identifier in order to avoid duplicates, so I added on with the form: source_id-client_id..So table02 lookes like this
Both tables also have a date/time stamp for each line.As you can see, table01, having also a type field is bigger than table02.The problem is when I try to append data, exactly the same data in both tables.Appending data to table01 is ok, while appending data to table02 (which is smaller, having one less field) takes a really long time, maybe 10 times as long as appending data to table01.To make sure that no query's are causing the problem I have tried first creating temporary tables with the data to be appended, no duplicates, nothing that would cause the database to make extra calculations and used a simple update query with no filters to append data.Still I get the same result, table02 takes a very long time to finish while table01 finishes in no time.
Access leaves the data with the letters in it (shown in bold) blank, how can I solve this, because I want to paste everything. I already put in design view the settings to text, but it doesn't work...
I have the following code, the purpose of the code is that to take all rows from each table to append them into one table. However, I am testing this code with 2 tables (Table2 and Table3) each table has 2 records, when I run the code, it keeps adding records to table 1 that exceeds one million. what is wrong with my code?
Dim tblString, I As Integer Dim rstFrom As Recordset, rst2 As Recordset Dim db As Database Set db = CurrentDb Set rst2 = db.OpenRecordset("Table1", dbOpenDynaset)
So I am pulling data from a SQL data base into access and appending it to certain tables. To do this I have 15ish append queries. Is there a way to have them run in a certain order with one command?
I have to tables. One named wire and the other named Input. As my title says there is not unique ID for the tables to relate.. the only thing to relate is one ID where is not unique for all the rows
In the Wire Table I have 3 rows using the same ID, lets say 123. In the Input Table I have 1 row using the same ID as above, i.e. 123
I need to select a couple of fields from Wire Table and 1 field from Input Table The only relationship I have is the ID 123.... since the ID in Wire Table is repeated in 3 rows.... I would like to use the same value from the Input Table to be the same for the 3 rows in the other table.. Below is an example:
Wire Table:
ID Group 123 A 123 B 123 C
Input Table ID Description 123 Analog
My wanted result would be
Group Description A Analog B Analog C Analog
I tried using the Left join or Join function, but somehow the resulting table has many duplicates of the rows...such as:
Group Description A Analog A Analog A Analog A Analog A Analog B Analog B Analog B Analog B Analog ...
Any Idea on whats going on and how can i solve this problem????
I have a table in MS Access 2010 with a Date field and 3 Memo fields. I wish to append data to the Access table from a MS Word doc that has a date field and 3 memo fields. My wish is to have a command button on the MS Word doc which appends the data to my Access Table.I am aware that a web page can append data to an Access table.
I have two tables of titles (DVDs and CDs). Each table has a price associated with each title in an adjacent column. I would like to match the titles between them and compare prices. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. EDS
I have two tables, identical in terms of structure (number & names of fields etc.) but different in terms of content (records not necessarily the same, some may be common to both, some may only be present in one or other table)
I want to set up a query to count the number of records which are present in one table (Table A) but not in the other (Table B) using a common identifier field, and put the numerical result in a text box on a form (i.e. use the query as the control source for the text box)
I've managed to come up with the following which provides the list of ID's :
Quote:
SELECT tblA.CommentId FROM tblA LEFT JOIN tblB ON tblA.Id = tblB.Id WHERE tblB.Id Is Null;
Which will come in useful elsewhere but how do I adjust this SQL to only return the number of records? I think I have to use COUNT(*) somehow but I'm not familiar with it and not sure of the syntax?
I'm a complete novice when it comes to dynamic data so forgive my ignorance. My database contains details of projects in progress. A user can click a link in a list and display a summary of that project (okay so far - I've done that bit) - in the database though there are two tables the second one lists project events/comments (title, date, job number and description) - when something interesting happens during a project we add to the 2nd database a summary of what happened (we made 2nd db because the list of things happening could be one entry or 50 entries) - the tables are links by the job number. On the web site I would like that when a user clicks the link to display the info about a project it all also pulls info from the second db but for the project with the same number.
I've hard coded a similar thing before "select * from tblProducts where category like 'Off Road and Dirt Bikes'" but in this case instead of hard typing 'Off Road and Dirt Bikes' I'd like it to automatically insert the job number of the project being looked at from the first database.
I don't think I've explained this as well as I could've - but if anyone could help I will be really grateful.
I have a big Excel file with payroll information about employees. Per employee per date, there are a couple of rows with mostly identical data (such as the employee's home address) but 2 differences: one will have paycode A with amount B, another will have paycode C with amount D, etc. I want to simplify the file to have 1 row per employee per date: in the example given that row would have paycode A with amount B as well as paycode C with amount D, in 4 separate columns.
I think I can technically solve this by creating Excel files per pay code/amount, and then linking them together by person and date, 1 by 1, through Access. This is feasible because there aren't that many different pay codes. But still, I was wondering if there was anyway to solve my problem in Access itself.
Basically in my order details table i have the following fields
Product Unit Size
At the moment i have the Product field with a dropdown that gives me all the products from my ProductT. But once i choose the correct product in the unit field it gives me all the possibilities of every product not just the units associated with that product. ie
ProductT Grasshopper Box1000 Adult Grasshopper Box1000 Subadult Worm 10pz Big
When I select the grasshopper product and move on to the unit field i also get "10pz" option but this is not a product available.
How do i set up validation of the fields Unit and size based on another fields data?
I created a table and some of the fields are shown as Memo however when I imported an Excel database some of the info was cut short in the memo fields!Some of the fields will have ten pages of typed content although it will be well spaced out.
is there any way to increase the size of the text field beyond the 255 character limit? I'm creating an incident report and its diffilcult to summarize an accident in less than 255 characters.
I have this database where I want to change the field size from 9 to 4 but I want to keep the last 4 digits not the first 4 digits. Is there a way to make that change?
For some reason I cannot enter decimal values without the number rounding up or down. I've already set it to 'Number' and 'double' and have also tried 'Fixed' set to 2 decimal places. Right now the only way it works is if I set it to 'Text'. However I need to do some calculations with these values eventually.
What's strange is I have another table in the same database that is NOT rounding and is working just fine.
I have a form that utilizes a combo box with 2 options: 0 & 0.5. If I select 0.5 on the combo box the field in the table records it as 2. Why doesn't it reflect as 0.5? And how do I fix it?
This is the general info that I have for the field properties:
Field Size - Double Decimal Places - 1 Default Value - 0
I have a field in my database (I'm using Access 2007) configured as Attachment under the DataType column on DesignView.
I was expecting to find an option to limit the attachment size (max 250Kb) and more importantly to limit the filetype you can actually upload. In my specific case only jpg should be attached.
I am trying to project how long it will take to reach the 2GB Access limit in a specific project.
My client downloads approx 250,000 records on a monthly basis. I've been provided w/ a sample Excel spreadsheet. I filled a spreadsheet w/ the max number of rows (65536 rows w/ 10 columns of data), and imported that into a new table in a new .mdb file. I copied the table 4 times, so I now have 4 tables of 65536 records each. Compacted before closing. Size was about 52MB. Assuming consistency, I calculate that the size limit would be reached in about 36 months.
262,000 records = 52 MB. 52 MB a month x 36 months = 1,872,000 MB.
I have been creating a personal database (access 2002) to keep help keep track of all the stupid things I own. I was wondering what people think about encoding data to help reduce database size. I know that for my small database it probably doesnt matter, but it it worth it to enocde colors into a couple of characters (2) instead of having a text entry that could fit a color spelled out (15). Ex.
Gray vs. G Dark Gray vs. DG Black vs. B Blue vs. BL etc.
I have come across a number of times when I can encode data and then write code for my forms to interperet that data back to plain english for me. Am I just wasting time if I do this? Or is there a point where this is recommended? Thanks for your advice.
