Adding New Content To A Table By Refering Other Tables Using SQL
Jan 5, 2007
I keep product name, id in Table1.
I keep Category name, id in Table2.
I keep relation between product and category (product_id, category_id) in Table3.
I have added some products to the table with proper category.
Work fine
But for some products I did not specified any category
(ie their id is not present in Table3)
But now I want all such products
(ie all products whose category is nothing)
To be associated with category_id 10
I want to add some customized text to the report programmatically before the report is rendered. As it has to be done for all the reports, I don't want to do it report by report. For example, the report needs to display user selected filters. Any thoughts?
I have to copy a large (3000) amount of different tables from a Oracle machine into an SQLServer machine. I am able to do this using a (VB) script. I use now several methods:
1) INSERT INTO TABLE1 SELECT * FROM SID1..DB.TABLE1 (SID1 is a linked server)
2) INSERT INTO TABLE1 SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(SID1,'SELECT * FROM DB.TABLE1')
3) Also used OPENROWSET method (similar to 2)
For small tables this is fine, however for BIG tables (15M Rows/150Cols) the methods above are too slow. If I compare the same copy action with a simple DTS, the DTS is 3 times faster. Also, the DTS seems to bulk copy the data directly into the desired database while the mentioned methods first fill the tempdb, then the transaction log of the desired database and then finally the desired table (need very much extra space on your filesystem). The total size of data is about 300GB.
Can anyone supply me with a simple example how to copy data from an Oracle table into a SQLServer table in script (or SQL) that is as fast as the DTS and not filling my logfiles?? I read the bcp (which I use for import/export files) and bulk insert commands, but I do not understand how to use them in this question.
HI, I have a view where I want to add Rundate and Prev Month Rundate as computed columns to simplify my joins and calculations. Rundate will be a select from another table that has a list of rundates for each month like this. SELECT MAX(fm_dateend) FROM dbo.tbl_FiscalMonth WHERE fm_dateend <= getdate()) AS smalldatetime) AS CurrRunDate Now, I want to add Prev Month Rundate on the basis of CurrRunDate but it does not accept CurrRunDate. The query is like this
SELECT MAX(fm_dateend) FROM dbo.tbl_FiscalMonth WHERE fm_dateend < CurrRunDate) AS smalldatetime) AS PrevMonthRunDate
Can anyone help me to work around with the alias as I dont like to put a whole bunch of code inplace of CurrRunDate(Alias).
Is there any way or option to get the all columns of dataset added to table when we add a table in data region. It will take lot of time to add one by one and also there are chances to add one column ore than once.
I have 2 reports where 1 is a subreport and the other one is a main report. Can i change or refer to a control(item) in the main report depending on the value of an item in the subreport, when the subreport is being run?
The problem is, I have a table with one column of varchar(8000) datatype. It has got 1000's of records. Through Query Analyzer, I am not able to view my records after 257 columns in my table, even I increased my textsize by using 'set textsize' command.
Any other setting is available to correct this. Any help is appreciated.
I have a particular production database that on a few recent occasions has suddenly had one of it's tables empty of content. Now there are no jobs or triggers in place neither is any stored procedures that could perform a delete or alter table operation in place. The permissions have been set not to allow this either. The datatype is text only. What is intriguing is the QA server has an exact mirror and this dosen't happen. Has anyone come across this sort of phenomenon?
I have a table having XML column. I want to read a XML document and insert content of the XML file into this xml column. CREATE TABLE [XMLTest]( [DataAsXML] [xml] NULL,
[CreatedDate] [datetime] NULL )
I have tried the following query declare @filepath varchar(100)
declare @filename varchar(100)
set @filename = 'Referred'
set @filepath = 'D:ReportOutput'+ @FileName +'.xml'
print @filepath
insert into XMLTest
SELECT xCol,getdate()
FROM (SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET
(BULK @filepath,SINGLE_BLOB) AS xCol) AS R(xCol)
Problem is that When I give complete file path for BULK instead of variable name i.e. BULK 'C:Test.xml', query runs fine. But when I try to use @filepath, I get error "Incorrect syntax near '@filepath'." What am I doing incorrect? Also,If some one can suggest a better approach to load content of XML document to table?
Hi all,need advice on the following task:copy the content of a big table from DB_A to DB_B in the same serverthe size of table:~ 7 million rows, ~ 9G in size, 1 clustered pk index, 13 nonclusteredindexcurrent practice:use DTS to copy the data, takes over 20 hours as-- first had to delete existing data of the table in DB_B-- then copy-- all these happen while all indexes are in place.I am trying to check what is the best or most efficient way to copythis kind of data and what wouldbe the expected time for such load.my machine: SQL 2000 Enterprise, 8-way P4, 12G RAM on a EMC Clarrion600 SAN.
In a project with SQL Servcer 2005 the customer is interested to save (archive) content of a table frequently. They want to have possibility to restore the table content as before. I have suggested to export the table every day to a text file and save the file in Visual source safe. If they need there will be possibility to import the text file later. Now I wonder, is there any other way to do archiving of the table content in SQL Server 2005?
I was able to view table content easily before, but after Ireinstalled everything, I cannot find the option to view table contentin MS SQL Server Express. I can define table with no problem. Checkout the screen snapshot below, from which you'll see that the popupmenu frrom right-clicking on the table name does not have the "Opentable" option. What is going on?http://farm1.static.flickr.com/167/...839620d0b_o.png

How do I write the SQL query so that the values in tblProduct become column, currently I have 20 items in that table. So, it will return something like this according to the information that I provide above?
I want to export data in a table from one database to another database. And I would like it bo be clone of the source table, if it's possible. Is there any tools out there that can help me with this or do I have to write my own code?Is it possible to query the database to get all columns and datatypes for å requested table? If possible, can you give me an example?If I have to write a tool myself I guess I would do something like this: Export - Query the database for columns and datatype for the requested table. Dynamically generate a query to retrieve all rows from the table and save it to an xml file. Import - Turn off the Identity Increment, loop through the xml file and generate insert queries to insert a clone of each row, turn off the Identity Increment. Viola! If programming only could be that simple :-) Regards, Sigurd
Hi,I use view to join difference table together for some function. However,when the "real" table fields changed (e.g. add/delete/change field). Theview table still use the "old fields".Therefore everytimes when I change the real table, I also needed open theview table and save it by SQL enterprise manager manually for update theview table field.Can we use a SQL command or other method to update it directly?Regards,Silas
I'm struggeling for more than a week now with this problem, without a finding the solution.
I have two databases, MS Access and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
Using a procedure in Visual Studio i would like to copy all the records from one table in MS Access into an existing table in SQL Server (the tables have the same name and the same layout)
I tried to prepare one Dataset to copy from Access into SQL Server but when i run the command 'DaSQL.Update(DsSQL, "Tabella") nothing happens (not even an exeption has been raised), looking during debug, the DataSet seems filled though...
Please could anyone explain what's wrong and / or is there a more quicker way to copy data from a table to another?
Note i woul have as a final goal to get data from an AS400 database by ODBC, manage it, and put it on SQL Server for a 'data mining' scope (eliminating the use of MS Access, not suited for FE-BE).
the procedure goes like this;
' Create a connection to the MS Access Database Dim connectionToAccess As New OleDbConnection(DBConnectionAccString) strsql = "SELECT * FROM [TABELLA]" connectionToAccess.Open() Dim DaAccess As New OleDbDataAdapter(strsql, connectionToAccess)
Dim DsAccess As New DataSet("ACCESS") DaAccess.FillSchema(DsAccess, SchemaType.Source, "Tabella") DaAccess.Fill(DsAccess, "Tabella")
' Create a connection to the SQL Database Dim connectionToSQL As New SqlConnection(DBConnectionSQLString) connectionToSQL.Open() Dim DaSQL As New SqlDataAdapter(strsql, connectionToSQL)
Dim DsSQL As New DataSet("SQL") DaSQL.FillSchema(DsSQL, SchemaType.Source, "Tabella") DaSQL.Fill(DsAccess, "Tabella")
Hi Everyone, I have a page with a textbox and a dropdown list. The user will enter a company name in the text box and select a number from 1 - 20 (number of delegates for that company) in the dropdown list. I've got the text box and dropdown writing to tblCompany but I would also like it to write to tblUsers at the same time. The reason for this is that i need it to set up the number of users that have been selected in the dropdown list. Here is the codebehind file:Imports System.Data.SqlClient Imports System.Web.Configuration
Partial Class cms_Management_Company_NewCompany Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Dim companyName As String Dim companyActive As Boolean Dim companyArchived As Boolean Dim companyDelegates As Integer
Dim userForeName As String Dim userSurname As String Dim userEmail As String Dim userUsername As String Dim userPassword As String Dim userActive As Boolean Dim userTypeID As Integer Dim companyID As Integer
Dim i As Integer Dim NoLoops As Integer
Protected Sub btnSave_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs) Handles btnSave.Click Dim conString As String = WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("General").ConnectionString
Dim con As New SqlConnection(conString) Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("INSERT INTO tblCompany (CompanyName, CompanyActive, CompanyArchived, CompanyDelegates) VALUES (@CompanyName, @CompanyActive, @CompanyArchived, @CompanyDelegates)", con)
Using con con.Open() cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() con.Close() End Using
Dim con2 As New SqlConnection(conString) Dim cmd2 As New SqlCommand("INSERT INTO tblUsers (UserForeName, UserSurname, UserEmail, UserUsername, UserPassword, UserActive, UserTypeID, CompanyID) VALUES (@UserForeName, @UserSurname, @UserEmail, @UserUsername, @UserPassword, @UserActive, @UserTypeID, @CompanyID)", con2)
cmd2.Parameters.AddWithValue("@UserForeName", userForeName) cmd2.Parameters.Item("@UserForeName").Value = "First Name - Delegate 1"
Using con2 con2.Open() For i = 1 To NoLoops cmd2.ExecuteNonQuery() Next i con2.Close() End Using
Response.Redirect("~/cms/Management/Company/Company.aspx") End Sub
End ClassThe other thing I am not sure of is getting the ID of the new company and assiging it to the delegates in tblUsers (to associate them with the new company)I hope this makes sense.Thank you very much guys.Scott.
Hello all, i have 2 sql tables, and they each contain a column with bigint values. What i want to do is add up the values from both table, and then display it as 1 number.

Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance Regards,
I'm currently in an SQL internship, and am running into an issue with a project they've given me. Primarily, he's asking me to try to get a table containing student entry testing information to update with a new column that's supposed to contain the testing dates. This in mind, there is another table that contains testing data, and who's students are grouped by date, the data in each group all coming from the students table. Issue is, I don't know how to get the testing dates from the TestData table into the Students table. There's already a relationship set up between the TestID fields on the TestData table (PK) and the Students table (FK), so I don't think I can set up a new relationship to get it working.
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?
I'm using net2.0 and SQL server express locally and have succeseffully placed my connection string in my sebconfig file and made connection and grids and detail etc, etc. Now I want to publish what I've done.

I have two tables a and b, where I want to add columns from b to a with a criteria. the columns will be added by month criteria. I want to keep all the records in a, and join columns from b. I do not want to loose any row from a if there is no data for that row in b.
I do not know how to have the multiple joins for 12 different months and what join I have to use. I used left join but still I am loosing not all but few rows in a:
/****** Script for SelectTopNRows command from SSMS ******/ SELECT a.[naics] ,a.[ust_code] ,a.[port] ,a.[all_qty_1_yr] ,a.[all_qty_2_yr] ,a.[all_val_yr]
