How do I create a "Cursor" in SQL Server 7.0 that compares an imported table against a exsisting table? Ex. Table1 is my existing table(Destination), Table2 is my imported table(source). I would like to update records in the Destination from the Source but I have to be aware of these three scenarios.
1. If the record exist in the Destination and the Source I will do nothing. 2. If the record exist in the Source and not in the Destination then I will add the record to the destination. 3. If the record exist in the Destination and not in the Source then I will write to the transaction Log.
Note: I am only concerned about updating one column in Destination which matches the only column in the source.
Ok I have a query "SELECT ColumnNames FROM tbl1" let's say the values returned are "age,sex,race".
Now I want to be able to create an "update" statement like "UPATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race" dynamically and execute this UPDATE statement. So, if the next select statement returns "age, sex, race, gender" then the script should create "UPDATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race + gender" and execute it.
I'm just know basic SQL but not enough to write any complex queries.The problem I'm facing right now keeps me thinking to use a Cursor butI've seen a lot of posts on here saying Cursors are bad so I'm hopingthere is a complex query that can give me the data I need.I have about 6 pages in website where I need to display a datagrid ofinformation. There should be 5 columns, Filename, and then 4 CategoryTitles (These category titles are stored in a table calledPageCategory). I have another table, XREF_Doc_Page that stores thePageID, DocID (ID to know what file it is), and PageCategoryID. So Ican query this table with a pageID to see all the results that shouldbe on this page but I don't know how to format it the way I need mydatagrid?In order to have the records from PageCategory be columns, is this acrosstab query or something?My only thoughts right now are to user a cursor to query Pagecategoryand build a temp table somehow with these as the columns?? (Not surehow'd that would work yet).So the datagrid would have the 5 columns like I said and then justlist all files associated with this page and put a checkmark underwhichever category it was assigned to (example below...)Files PageCat1 PageCat2PageCat3 PageCat4abc.pdf Xxyz.pdf Xjkl.pdfx
I have multiple locations that I want to create views for eachindividual location.I am using a cursor to create the views for each location. So, thecursor grabs site #1 then <should> create view_site_#1, then grab site#2 and <should> create view_site_#2.For some reason it doesn't like the view name with the @site in it.Any ideas of how to get this done?Here's the cursor...declare @site varchar(5)declare c_site cursor forselect station from VHAISLCAUDIA.VISN_SITEorder by stationopen c_sitefetch from c_siteinto @sitewhile (@@fetch_status = 0)beginCREATE VIEW Site_All_Data_+ @siteASSELECT *FROM dbo.[600_All_Suggested_Data]WHERE (Site = @site)Print 'View for ' + @site + ' Created'fetch next from c_site into @siteendclose c_sitedeallocate c_sitereturnend
I have a stored procedure that rertrieves data from an sql database and sends out a mail to each receipient who meets the criteria
I am using SQL mail.
I dynamically generate the where clause for my sql query based on criteria taken from other stored procedures and store it in a varchar variable called @sqlquery
When i have the following code to run my cursor
DECLARE overdue3 CURSOR LOCAL FORWARD_ONLY FOR SELECT DISTINCT Events.E_Name, Events.E_SDate, Events.E_City, Events.E_ID FROM Events, IndustryEvents + @sqlquery2 OPEN overdue3
I get an error message at the '+' sign which says, cannot use empty object or column names, use a single space if necessary.
What should i do. i have tested the variable @sqlquery and it is definately not blank. There is no bracket error or anything.

I know You can write a Sp with cursor and do this, but I would like to know if you can accomplish the same thing by a select or case or something else instead of a cursor.
What i am trying to do is concatenate variable "@Where" with CURSOR sql statement,inside a procedure . But, it doesn't seem to get the value for the @Where. (I tried with DEBUGGING option of Query Analyzer also).
============================================= SET @Where = '' if IsNull(@Input1,NULL) <> NULL Set @Where = @Where + " AND studentid='" + @input1 +"'"
if isnull(@Input2,NULL) <> NULL Set @Where = @Where + " AND teacherid =' " + @Input2 +"'"
DECLARE curs1 CURSOR SCROLL FOR SELECT firstname FROM school WHERE school ='ABC' + @where ============================================= Please check my SQL Above and Could somebody tell me how can I attach the VARIABLE with CURSOR sql statement ?
I would like to get the results of a cursor into update statement but it fills only the last record of the cursor
this is the cursor:
Code: DECLARE @avg varchar(50) DECLARE @cur_avg CURSOR SET @cur_avg = CURSOR FOR select cast(avg(cast(reply as decimal(12,2))) as decimal(12,2)) from tbl_app_monitoring group by test_name, application_id
this is the update statement:
Code: OPEN @cur_avg FETCH @cur_avg INTO @avg WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS = 0) BEGIN UPDATE tbl_app_monitoring_archive SET average = @avg FETCH @cur_avg INTO @avg END
is it also possible to do this without the cursor ?
I have a cursor that goes through a table with the names of all the database in my server. So for each fetch, the cursor gets the name of a database and assign it to a variable, @databaseName, and try to do some queries from that database by using the command "USE @databaseName". But "USE" doesn't take the variable @databaseName; it is expecting a database name (i.e. USE master).
Here is my code:
Declare @databaseName varchar(50) Declare c_getDatabaseName CURSOR for SELECT name from tblDatabases OPEN c_getDatabaseName FETCH NEXT from c_getDatabaseName into @databaseName While @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
Help please,Have a situation when converting from Oracle SP's to SQL SP's. The oldoracle cursor was roughly as followsCURSOR cur_rsStock ISselect*from(select StockRowId, CategoryIdfromSTOCKDISPOSABLEwhereSTOCKDEFID=numDefIdORDER BYSTOCKROWID)whereROWNUM <= numQuantity;The closest I can get in MS SQL is as follows :declare cur_rsStockCURSOR forselect top @numQuantityStockRowId, CategoryIdfromSTOCKDISPOSABLEwhereSTOCKDEFID=numDefIdORDER BYSTOCKROWIDBut, SQL doesn't allow variables next to top. I know I can assign the wholeselect statement to a string and use exec to exec the string to get arecordset but how can I point a cursor to receive its output?i.e.set @strSQl = select top ' + @numQuantity + ' StockRowId, CategoryId.......exec @strSQLbut how do I dodeclare cur_rsStockset cur_rsStock = ( exec @strSQL)Flapper
The following snippet of code returns something like that: string;string1;string2

I am hoping someone can help me with using the cursor and fetch functions. I have not used these features in the past and I am now stuck when trying to use IF statements with the fetch function.
I have a temp table populated with the below headers and their associated data.
The headers are as follows: ItemRcvdKey, TranID, TranDate, QtyReceived, UnitCost, ItemKey, WhseKey, ItemID, ShortDesc, WhseID, QtyOnHand, StdCost.
The information contained in this temp table lists every single receipt of goods against all of our inventoried items. The QtyOnHand listed on each record is the total QtyOnHand for that item in that warehouse. What I need the fetch to do is grab the receipt of goods records, starting with the most recent TranDate, and pull them into the new temp table until the QtyOnHand is reached. The QtyonHand it should be comparing too is the one listed on the first fetched record. Once the Sum of the QtyRcvd is equal to or is greater than the QtyOnHand for that item I need the fetch to move on to the next item number and perform the same function.
One thing I need to be clear on is that if there are 3 Receipt Records(TranID) for Item A in Warehouse A, the total QtyOnHand will be listed 3 times. I need to make sure that the Fetch is comparing all the records for Item A in Warehouse A to one instance of the QtyOnHand.
The other aspect is that there will be receipt of goods for the same item in multiple warehouses. So I also need the Fetch to be sure that when it is grabbing records and putting them in the temp table, it makes sure it is matching the ItemID and the WhseID with the record it started with.
The current script I have written is below. If you can offer any help I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks. -D.
I try to create a Sproc which will use a cursor to retrieve a few rows from a table. But the cursor part has given me problem. Here it is:
StudentInfo StudentID StudentName DeptID 101 John 10 102 Alex 10 103 Beth 20 ClassInfo ClassID DeptID 901 10 902 10 225 20 I want to create a Sproc which will retreive the student's classes in DeptID 10
Following is the Sproc and cursor:
use master go Create PROCEDURE [dbo].[getEnclishClasses] @StudentID int AS Declare @printInsertStatement nvarchar(100) ECLARE NewRowID int
Declare classCursor CURSOR FOR SELECT ClassID, DeptID FROM [myTest].dbo.ClassInfo WHERE DeptID=(SELECT DeptID FROM [myTest].dbo.StudentInfo WHERE StudentID=@StudentID)
DECLARE @ClassID INT DECLARE @DeptID INT

PRINT @printInsertStatement END CLOSE classCursor DEALLOCATE classCursor EXEC getEnclishClasses 101
Here is what I try to get (text with actual data from the table): SET @newRowID = Scope_Identity() INSERT INTO [myTest].dbo.ClassInfo VALUES(901, 10) SET @newRowID = Scope_Identity() INSERT INTO [myTest].dbo.ClassInfo VALUES(902, 10)
Here is what I had got (returning multiple lines, more than number of records I have): Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Procedure getEnclishClasses, Line 19 Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
Thanks in advance for your help! Or is it a better way (not using a cursor). Each table has over 5,000 records.
HI AllI have a process that I am trying to accomplish with one statement. Icannot think of any way to do it other than using a cursor.I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.I want to update the Domain in Table A with the Domain in Table Bwhere A.Account = B.Account with the highest rank.----------------------------------Table A--------------------------------------------------------------------Account|Domain--------------------------------------------------------------------Micorsoft|null----------------------------------IBM|null-------------------------------------------------------------TAble B--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Account|Domain|Rank--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Micorsoft|microsoft.com|9-------------------------------------------------------------Micorsoft|yahoo.com|2-------------------------------------------------------------Micorsoft|hotmail.com|1Thanks!!!
When I run this update statement, it updates the proper badgenumbers but it only updates them to 1 when I did a count? As the data displays some of the results should be more than 1. Why did this occur?
Using the sys.databases & sys.sysindexes views to display all the columns with a clustered index for all tables and all databases in a given server. So the end result will have 3 columns:
Database name Table name Column name from that table with a clustered index
I have already created the following script which displays all the databases for a given server:
declare @DBname nvarchar(128) declare testCursorForDB cursor for select name from sys.databases with (nolock) where name not in ('master','tempdb','model','msdb') order by name
open testCursorForDB fetch next from testCursorForDB into @DBname
while @@fetch_status = 0 begin print @DBname fetch next from testCursorForDB into @DBname end
close testCursorForDB deallocate testCursorForDB
I also have created the following query which will display all the table and column names which have a clustered index for a given database:
select object_name(i.id) as TableName,
i.name as IndexName from sys.sysindexes as i with (nolock) where i.indid = '1'
However, what I need help/advice on is how do I combine these two together into one working script (either using nested cursors or a better way). In other words, how can I specify which database to use (ie. using the "use database_name") so that my query above will be applied to each database found within the cursor.

I have a database called 'DB1' in SQL Server 2000. I want to create the same database in SQL Server 2005 Express including the original data in tables. How would I do that? I cannot find any option to do this upgrade in SQL Server Management Studio.
I'm trying to set up a transactional replication from SQl Server 2005 to SQl server 2000. The Distributor and the publisher are on our server and the subscription is supposed to be on a SQL 2000 server on a different location. Before upgrading to 2005 I didn't have problems - the replication from 2000 to 2000 was working perfectly.
After I succesfully created the distributor and the publication the first problem that I encountered was that when I tried to create the subscription it was giving me an error that I cannot use an IP to acces the server. I realized to fix that issue by creating an Alias in the SQL Server Configuration Manager for the server where I wanted to create the subscription (a push subscription).
Now when I try to add the subscriber it gives me another message "Execute permission denied on object 'sp_MS_replication_installed', database 'master', owner 'dbo'" - so I cannot create the subscriber.
The user that I use to create the subscriber on the 2000 server is dbo for the subscriber database but it doesn't have rights on the master database. Also I realized that on the 2000 server I still have the old subscription but I cannot delete it - for the same reason - no access on the master database. Before upgrading to 2005 I had the exact same rights on the 2000 server.
Hello: I have an old database created in SQL Server 2000, now I can open, access it in SQL Server 2005 Management Studio, but I can't create Data Diagrams. Please advise on how to make it work.... Thank you
I found that when I install MSDE, then I can create/edit database objects for MSDE database in Visual Studio 2003 Server Explorer, but when I try to create/edit database objects under the default database created by the SQL Server 2000 installation, I cannot do these tasks as no option for these tasks appear when I right-click on the database object in Server Explorer. Anyone knows why this is happening?
I have a table when user add new sales or puchase will be added to this table ITEM_TXNS. The above date is part of the table for a ProductID . (The field is removed here) In order to calculate the balance amount using moving average, I must calculated the cost_out_amt first on the fly. When user add new sales I also need to determine the cost/unit for a product id using moving average. The problem is I can not just use sum, because i need to determine cost_out_amt for each sales first which will be calculated on the fly. The reason i dont store the cost_out_amt (instead calculate on the fly) because User could Edit the previous sales/purchase txn or Insert new sales for a previous date. Example THe record with ID 9. By Adding this txn with ID 9, would cause all the cost_out_amt will be incorrect (Using moving Average) if i store the cost_amout_out on entrying txn and need to be recalculated. Instead I just want to calculate on the fly and able to determine the cost avr for a specific point of time. Should I just use Cursor and loop all the record and calculate the cost or maybe I can just use on Select Statement?
