Add Similar Fields To Many Tables

Dec 13, 2004

Folks, i have to create four fields in every user table within my database:

CREATED_BY VARCHAR(25), CREATED_DATE [DATETIME], MODIFIED_BY VARCHAR(25), MODIFIED_DATE [DATETIME]

There are more than hundred tables, so i wanna automate this. i am tryin to do this in a cursor: please guide!

declare @name VARCHAR (50)
declare cur cursor
fast_forward
for select name from sysobjects where type='u' and status not like '-%'
open cur
WHILE (1=1)
BEGIN
FETCH NEXT
FROM cur
INTO @name
IF @@fetch_status = 0
BEGIN
ALTER TABLE @name
ADD created_by [VARCHAR] (25)
GO
ALTER TABLE @name
ADD created_by [VARCHAR] (25)
GO
ALTER TABLE @name
ADD created_date [DATETIME]
GO
ALTER TABLE @name
ADD modified_by [VARCHAR] (25)
GO
ALTER TABLE @name
ADD modified_date [DATETIME]
END
ELSE
BREAK
END
DEALLOCATE cur


I also want that if one column for a table exists; the other columns should be created rather than it quits.


Howdy!

How To Basically Copy Tables With New Names Rather Than Create Similar Tables From Similar Manual Input.

May 26, 2007

I have a table that I am basically reduplicating a couple of times for each part of this database that I want to create.Each table basically has the same data: The tables will be called motherTable, fatherTable, sonTable, daughterTable and so on.I am pretty much using the following in each column: UserID, MotherID(or FatherID or SonID, etc., etc. and so on for each unique table), FirstName, LastName, MiddleName, BirthPlace, Photo, Age.I don't see an option to copy a table and just modify the second ID part and rename that table accordingly.How can I make this an easier way of creating these similar tables without retyping all these columns over and over again?Thanks in advance.

Checking Columns In Two Similar Tables

Jan 3, 2014

For every table in my database there is a duplicate table with same columns. For example, employee is the name of main table, there is employee_dup table in same database.

There is only one column extra in _dup tables i.e.,idn column.

Now, I want to know all the columns present in main table which are not present in corresponding _dup table. There might be a chance of missing one or two columns in _dup tables. So i want a query to find out all the columns present in main table that are not present in hx table.

Comparing 2 Similar Columns In Different Tables

Mar 5, 2014

I am trying to write an SQL command for my crystal report. I need to compare the same column in 3different tables & get the data from each table for only the matching data.. I understand I need to create a temporary table, get the data into it & then work around.. I am quite new to SQL.

Eg: Considering one customer account
Table 1
Cust.No Name Amt_Counter AmtPaid
123.456 sam 0 0
123.456 sam 1 50

Table 2
Cust.No Name Freq_Counter Frequency
123.456 sam 1 0
123.456 sam 2 15

Transact SQL :: Joining 2 Similar Tables

Sep 28, 2015

What I am working with unfortunately is a very poorly designed and non-normalized database. Please don't criticize the design. I didn't design it, but I have to write queries against it.I have 2 tables. 1 is called EnterVolume. The other is ExitVolume. Similar columns exist in each.

CREATE TABLE [EventPortion].[EventEnterVolume](
[SequenceNumber] [int] NULL,
[TrialID] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[TimeOfEvent] [int] NULL,
[UniversalTime] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[SBOINumber] [int] NULL,
[SEntityPosUpdateIndex] [int] NULL,
[VolumeIndex] [int] NULL,

[code]....

The rules of the database state that for every EnterVolume row (for a given TrialID, SBOINumber, and OwnerBOI) there must be a corresponding ExitVolume row in the ExitVolume table.What I need to do is to capture the paired TimeOfEvent entries from each table for each paired row. Nothing says that an SBOI cannot enter and exit a OwnerBOI's volume several times during the same Trial.Every time a SBOI Enters an OwnerBOI's volume during a certain trial, a row is created in the EnterVolume table. And Likewise when Exiting a OwnerBOI's volume during a certain trial, a row is created in the ExitVolume table.

So here is a query that I attempted, but gave undesirable results:

SELECT EV.TimeOfEvent AS [Enter Time], XV.TimeOfEvent AS ExitTime
FROM IntegratedTest1.EventPortion.EventEnterVolume AS EV INNER JOIN
IntegratedTest1.EventPortion.EventExitVolume AS XV ON EV.TrialID = XV.TrialID AND EV.SBOINumber = XV.SBOINumber AND EV.OwnerBOI = XV.OwnerBOI

Here is some sample data:

EnterVolume
TrialID             SBOI           OwnerBOI         TimeOfEvent
1                     A                 D                      5
1                     A                 D                      2000

URGENT! Need To Extract Default Values And Update Similar Tables

May 19, 2008

I am using SQL 2005 merge replication with a publisher managing about 45 articles(tables) with about 10 subscribers (remote servers). The problem is that we had to re-start replication from scratch and noticed that, although the publisher's tables have the default values, the subscribers did not get the default values with the initial snap shot, schema building..?!?

I now have to go over 450 tables (10 remotes SQl servers at 45 tables each) and 'reset or set' over 1,000 default values. Meanwhile, the system is down...omg...so not good.

Is there a script out there that automatically extracts the default values from a table and set it to another exact table with the same structure? any ideas?

Thanks..CF

btw, i'm no scripting wizard....help!.

Comparing Similar Tables - Removing Duplicate Or Repeated Data

Sep 30, 2007

It seems that there should be a solution for my situation, but for the life of me I can't seem to figure it out.

I need to compare two "like" tables, containing similar data. Tbl 1 is "BOOKED" (which is a snapshot of inventory) and tbl 2 is "CURRENT" (the live - working inventory table). If I write my query as follows the the subsequent result is "duplicate" data.




Code Block
SELECT booked.item, booked.bin, booked.quantity, current.bin, current.quantity
FROM BOOKED
LEFT JOIN
CURRENT
ON booked.item = current.item







No matter what type of join I use, there is duplicate data displayed for each table. For example, if there are more bins in the BOOKED table that contain a certain product then the CURRENT table will repeat data and vica versa.

As follows:







Item
Bin
Quantity
Bin
Quantity

12345
A01
500
A01
7680

12345
B01
6
A01
7680

12345
C01
20
A01
7680

54321
G10
1032
E15
1163

54321
G10
1032
F20
523

54321
G10
1032
H30
750

98765
Z20
7000
Z20
8500

98765
Y15
2500
Y15
3000

98765
X10
1200
Y15
3000

What I would like to do is display Bin and Quantity only once and the repeating values as NULL or [BLANK]. Or, to display all of the bins from both tables and only the quantities from each table in relation to the bin found in that table, returning a "0" if no quantity exists.

This is what I'm after:







Item
Bin
Quantity
Bin
Quantity

12345
A01
500
A01
7680

12345
B01
6
B01
0

12345
C01
20
C01
0

54321
G10
1032
E15
1163

54321
F20
0
F20
523

54321
H30
0
H30
750

98765
Z20
7000
Z20
8500

98765
Y15
2500
Y15
3000

98765
X10
1200
X10
0



Is this possible? If so, how?

I also might add that it is ok for each table to contain multiple entries for any given item. This is basically being requested as an inventory variance report - inventory before physical count and immediatly after physical count - and will only be run once a year.

-----------------------------------------------
Just thinking out loud here:
What if I created three subqueries, the first containing only BOOKED information, the second containing only CURRENT information and the third being a UNION of both tables? Something like this:




Code Block
SELECT q3.bin, q1.item, ISNULL(q1.quantity, 0) as QTY_BEFORE, ISNULL(q2.quantity, 0) as QTY_AFTER

FROM

(select item, bin, quantity
from BOOKED)q1
Left Join

(select item, bin, quantity
from CURRENT)q2
on q1.item = q2.item
Left Join

(select bin, item
from BOOKED
UNION
CURRENT)q3
on q1.item = q3.item

Order By q1.item





I don't know if I wrote the UNION statement correctly, but I will have to try this when I get back to work...


Any suggestions?

Mapping Fields From Two Tables

Apr 1, 2004

Hi all,

I'm not sure how easy of a task this is, or how to go about it, so I thought I'd ask here. I am doing a major overhaul to my site and am re-programming the backend which involves re-formatting my tables, table names etc.

What I want to do is set up a new table in the format I want for the new site, but still be able to have the live data that is being submitted to the site now, be entered into the new table so that I don't have to shut down the site for days to transfer and reformat data. Example

CURRENT SITE

Table 1
Field1: Name
Field2: Address

NEW SITE

Table 1
Field1: Name
Field2: myAddress
Field3: City

I want to be able to somehow map the two together so that when data is entered into the Name field on the current site, that same name is also inserted into the new site table as well. Mapping like this:

(current site)Name -> (new site)Name
(current site)Address -> (new site)myAddress

The city field would be left unaffected as that data would only be entered once the new site is up and running.

I know I could do this from a stored procedure on the exiting site or by re-writting all of my SQL to insert into both tables, but right now all of the SQL is hardcoded into the pages and I have A LOT of pages. Is there a way to map the tables together from within SQL Server?

Cheers,
Jeff

How Do I Get A Printout Of All My Tables And Fields ?

Mar 15, 2001

Hi,

I have a database with approx 95 tables. I would like to get a printout of each table, the fields contained therein and the field type
(i.e the information displayed when rightclicking a table in Enterprise Manager and selecting Properties).

I have tried to use the diagram function but due to the large number of tables the diagram is very complex and would have to be printed out on a huge sheet of paper to make it legible. I have also looked at the SP_HELP stored procedure but can't seem to get the syntax correct to display properties on all tables (info on one table is no problem).

Any ideas ?

Thanks,

Comparing Fields In Tables

Aug 4, 2005

I am working with the article that MAK wrote on SecurityLogs http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3515886

I have completed this, but I have made some changes to the database (for normalization to 3NF purposes). I now have problems with a query.

I am trying to "Insert a new record in a table if it does not already exist in the table". To try to clarify I perform the following query:

INSERT INTO Tmp_Event
SELECT DISTINCT EventID, EventType, EventTypeName from Tmp

Which gives me the Tmp_Event table consisting of EventID's etc. (no duplicates). What I then want to do, is compare the 'Tmp_event' table and an already existing 'Event' table. These two tables are in fact identical. I would like to insert any records from 'Tmp_Event' into 'Event' if they do not already exist in 'Event'.

This query gives me all records that do not exist in 'Event'

SELECT EventID, EventType, EventTYpeName from Tmp_Event
WHERE EventID NOT IN (SELECT EventID from Event)

How can I change this query into performing an INSERT INTO Event as well?

Hope this makes sense :)

Merge Two Fields From Two Different Tables Into One

Aug 24, 2004

If possible, I would like to create a view using two different tables, but with the fields merged (ie. create one table from two tables). The table structures are pretty much the same. Can you do this from a singe SQL statement? Any ideas? My only alternative is creating a temp file that inserts records from both tables, but I want to avoid doing that.

Compare Fields In 2 Tables

Jan 30, 2008

For example, I have 2 tables that have very similar fields

Table 1 Table 2
ShipRpt ShipRpt
invoice invoice
total sold total sold

Is it possible to compare each of these fields and return any record that has non matching data? I would join the tables on the shipping report or invoice and only compare the total sold field. If the invoices match and the total sold is different in each table, can I just return the 1 record?

Fields In My Tables Are Disappearing!

Feb 24, 2006

I am using a hosted MSSQL 2000 database that powers the backend of mywebsite. Website visitors interact with it via ASP pages I havedeveloped. I also have an internal FileMaker 7 database thatperiodically synchs with it via Filemaker's ODBC functionality.Several times now, I have come in one day to discover that my ASP pagesdon't work. When I look into it, one of my MSSQL tables will be missinga few fields. There is nothing in any of my code that sends an ALTERTABLE command or any other command that affects table structure. Thesedeletions of fields is totally random.The most recent example was with a table called FreeTeacherSubs.

Database Tables And NULL Fields

Nov 17, 2006

Hi  there,
 I have a fairly generic question regarding database design.
I am working  on my first database using SQL  Express.
I am testing the database by inserting records into the pre  defined tables.
Sometimes I  forget to input text into a non null  field. When
this  happens  it displays an error  and then skips a  few rows
which makes my  row numbering  messy.  For example  say I have 
Row  1, Row 2 Row  3 all  nicely  formatted but on Row 4  I make  a mistake
this  row then disapears and  their is  gap  between  3 and 5 where  4  was.
Although I am just testing, I was  wondering  what happens in a  real
scenario if an inexperienced data input person makes a few  mistakes it
makes the database  numbering  systems look bad. In  this case
is it common  to  make  most  fields  NULL to allow for admin errors??

Q On Joining Tables With Nullable Fields

Sep 27, 2006

Question.I have a new table that I am adding to a script that I wrote. Thistable has 3 fields, the first 2 fields are used in the on statement asbeing = other fields in the script.The first field always has data in it, but the 2nd field is sometimesnull.So my problem is if both fields have data in them and they both matchto the data in the fields that I am linking them to, then it returnsthe 3rd field without a problem. However if the 2nd field is null thenit is returning a null for the 3rd field. I have checked and the fieldthat I am linking to is null also.So if I haveselect t1.field1, t1.field2, t2.field1, t2.field2, t2.field3from table1 t1join table2 t2on t1.field1=t2.field1 and t1.field2=t2.field2with 2 records in each tabletable1: record1: data, datarecord2: data, nulltable2: record1: data,data,datarecord2: data,null,datawhat I get from the script isrecord1: data, data,data,data,datarecord2: data,null,data,null,nullI would expectrecord2: data,null,data,null,dataI hope this makes sense, I didn't want to post the entire actual scriptas it is about 150 lines long.Thanks in advance.

Keeping Track Of Mismatch Fields In Two Tables?

Mar 10, 2014

I have four fields in two different tables.

ID, field1, field2 and field3 in Table 1 has value 1 or 0. Type integer.
ID, field1, field2 and field3 in table2 are text fields.

If field1 in table1 has value 1, then there should be a text value in corresponding field in table2. That is, in field1 in table2.

However, if there is value 0 in field1 in table1 there should not be any value in the corresponding field in table2.

Now it is not always so, which do that I want to make a track of which fields miss match in these two tables.

How do I list them on the smartest ways? ID links the tables.
