Add Data To Existing Table
Jun 6, 2008
Hi,
How would I select from TABLE A and add this data to TABLE B which has existing data that I want to keep. I would like to keep adding onto the old data. When I do an "Insert Into", it keeps on deleting my old data.
Thanks,

i have 2 tables (both containing the same column names/datatypes), say table1 and table2.. table1 is the most recent, but some rows were deleted on accident.. table2 was a backup that has all the data we need, but some of it is old, so what i want to do is overwrrite the rows in table 2 that also exist in table 1 with the table 1 rows, but the rows in table 2 that do not exist in table one, leave those as is.. both tables have a primary key, user_id.
any ideas on how i could do this easily?
thanks

I am building RDA process between SQL server and SQL server CE. Since when we use the method 'SqlCeRemoteDataAccess.pull()', the data will be pulled down from SQL server to CE server and a new table is created with some addtional columns. As I only intend to pull the data and never push it back to SQL server, if I pull the data down for the second time, there will be an error saying that table is already existing. I wonder whether I can pull the data to an existing table everytime I do the RDA?

What I need to know is how to get repeated data from a existing table, to normalized tables with out typing it...
Example:
---------------------
| ID |TEXT | TAGS |
---------------------
| 1 |text1|repeating|
| 2 |text2|repeating|
----------------------
How to normalization would be use 3 tables ,one for tags_id and tags, and another relating the tags_id to ID from the table above...but how does the code already know there is a tag called repeating?

I have an existing table I need to add data to. The data is in a text file, and the existing table already has data in it (I don't want to delete this I want to add to it).
I used Microsoft's import utility but this created a seperate table with generic fieldnames (column01, column02, ect). Is there a step in this wizard I missed?

Hi,
I could use some help on how to save the result of my data-flow in an existing table.
I have created a data flow. I have no trouble storing the result of the flow in a new table. But I'm trying to store the result of my data flow in an existing table. (The flow involves fuzzy grouping, and i would like to store the result in the original table on which the fuzzy grouping was performed). But I cannot get it to work.
I can select the existing table as OLE DB destination. I can write an SQL to manipulate this table, but how do i address the result of the flow in the SQL?
Help is welcome here!

I need to recover some data in a table but i'm not 100% sure the right way to do this safely.
I'll need to query the two tables to compare the before and after but how do i go about restoring/attaching the backup database to SQL without causing conflicts?
If I restore, I assume this would just overwrite which is obviously the worst thing that can happen. if i attach the backup, how does this affect the current live DB? how do i make sure that it's not getting accessed and mistaken for the live DB?
The SQL server is 2008 R2 running as a VM.

Using SSIS 2012 (within Visual Studio) on Windows 7.
Before allowing my Data Flow task to fire, I'd like to check the target table (OLE DB Destination) for a specific date value in a specific field. I've seen how the Lookup Task is commonly used to check for dupes before inserting, but I'm not able to use that method because the data value I want to search the table for is contained in a Global Variable (let's say "MyVariableDate").
Is there any way to check for any records in a target table where Date1 = MyVariableDate (i.e. scanning the entire table for any occurrence of MyVariableDate in the Date1 field)?

Hello,
I'd like to create a temporary table with the same schema as an exiting table. How can I do this without hard coding the column definitions into the temporary table definition?
I'd like to do something like:
CREATE TABLE #tempTable LIKE anotherTable
..instead of...
CREATE TABLE #tempTable (id INT PRIMARY KEY, created DATETIME NULL etc...
I'm sure there must be a simple way to do this!
Many thanks,
Ben S

I am using the DTS wizard and having problems importing excel into an existing table.
Problem is that various column in excel are defined as double in the wizard but in my db table it is defined as an integer.
How do I get around this issue so the data types in excel can match up accordingly to my defined data type in my db table?
The wizard does a bad job of guessing the correct data type.
I have heard of using a staging table to import from excel and using that as my source to import into my existing table.

I want to clear the data of all 4 tables(in the database) before loading the data from flat file everytime.How can i do this?
Iam using 4 Oledb Destinations, 1 multicast, 1 source component to do this.
Also can it happen like a transaction? because if it deletes the existing data and couldnt load new data there will be a problem!.how to avoid this?

I want to move an existing table from another.
Example
B.mdf dbo.xx to C.mdf dbo.xx
B.mdf dbo.xx has records - I created a script and install the script for C.mdf dbo.xx
C.mdf dbo.xx is empty -
All I need now is to populate the records from B.mdf dbo.xx to the empty C.mdf dbo.xx
I was telling I could do a cut and paste to copy the dbo.xx
Thank you in advance.

Hi all,I have an existing table(Several actually) that I want to add a columnor two or three. I need to have, I think, at least two columns. Onefor Created date and believe this is a no brainer in that I just addthe column and set the default to getdate(). Two, for tracking amodified date of the row of data. I want to keep it simple. What do Ido to track the modify date of a row in SQL Server 2005? Anytime anydata changes on a row update the update column? Is a trigger the onlyway to accomplish this task?Another column could be used to track who changed it. Is there a neatway to determine username, machine name, MAC address or any othermethod? I pretty wide open on this one as I am not sure what I want touse here.TIA!!!

How do you alter the table to use the new partition (I know ALTER TABLE is in there but BOL doesn't give a valid example with the move option)? I can create the partition but I want to apply it to an existing table with no partition?

Hi Forum,
I am currently implementing RDA Pulls and Pushes. Both worked fine for me, except when I try to pull a certain table twice. I read that in order to pull the table a second time I must drop it on the client.
My original approach was to use a select statement with a where criterium in the pull statement (e.g. SELECT * from tblPhonebook where Pulled = 0), then set Pulled to 1 and pull again later.
My understanding of RDA was that I use the where criterium to filter the data at the server side and simply append that data at the client side.
Can I simply append data in some way or do I really have to drop the table on the client side every time I pull?
Regards
Tobias

Hi
I'm trying to Create a new Table from existing table in Q/Analyzer. I figured it would be something like this:
CREATE TABLE newTable AS(SELECT * FROM OldTable);
but i keep getting
Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 1Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'AS'.
also.. is there another method of doing this, something like
INSERT INTO newTable(SELECT * FROM OldTable);
and it creates the table ( newTable ) for u if it doenst already exist??
Cheers!!!
