Adding Prefilled Column To A Database...
Jul 14, 2006
Ok here's the deal guys (I'm not even sure this is possible),
There is a database with information already loaded in it, I need to be able to step through each row, so I had an idea to add a "Counter" column. Basically just add a column named "Counter" with each field in the column corresponding to the row its in.
Counter
1
2
3
4
5
and so on.
Now here's my problem, I know how to add blank columns (with each field = to <NULL>), however I have no clue how to accomplish what my goal is above.
Can anyone help me????

I have the folowing databases DB1,DB2,DB3,D4,DB5........
I have to loop through each of the databases and find out if the database has a tablename with the word 'Documents'( like 'tbdocuments' or 'tbemployeedocuments' and so on......)
If the tablename having the word 'Documents' is found in that database i have to add a column named 'IsValid varchar(100)' against that table in that database and there can be more than 1 'Documents' table in a database.
can someone show me the script to do it?
Thanks.

What is the syntax for adding a column where you are adding a year to a date in a date format? For example adding a column displaying a year after the participation date in date format?

I simply need the ability using SQL to add columns in an existing table before (or after) columns that already exist.
The MS SQL implementation of ALTER TABLE doesn't seem to provide the before or after placement criteria I require. How is this done in MS SQL using SQL or is there a stored procedure I can use?
Thanks.

I have two columns in a table:StartDate DateTime and StartTime DateTime.The StartDate column holds a value such as 07/16/2004The StartTime column holds a value such as 3:00:00 PMI want to be able to add them in a stored procedure.When I use StartDate + StartTime I get a date two days earlier than expected.For example, instead of 7/16/2004 3:00:00 PM StartDate + StartTime returns7/14/2004 3:00:00 PM.Can anyone point out wht I'm doing wrong with this one?Thanks,lq

Hi,I have an application up and running. I need to add a new column to one of the tables which is currently being used - would adding a new column change or cause errors in the current application? e.g. if the table is being accessed by selecting * from table, will adding a new column cause an error? If there is any circumstance where an error would be caused by adding a new column, I will have to create an entirely new table. If I have to do this - how do I get a column in the new table to have the same values as a column in the old table? Can I create a computed column where column=oldcolumn? Thanks,Jon

I have a table size 2078mb, number of row +530,900. Is it normal for sql to lock users out of the db when I add a column to the end of the table? I'm running SQL 7.0. The table has 4 col regular indexes. No primary keys. It locked the user out for about 10 min. I thought with SQL 7.0 this problem went away?

Can I add a column to a database table without dropping and recreating the table?
The problem is that everytime a user creates an action that requires a new table - at the moment I drop the table and recreate the table with the new column.
This requires lots of resources as I have to populate the table again.
Is there a design way I can go around this?

I previously posted about a problem where I added a non-NULL DEFAULT 0 bit column to a table with 80 million records. It was taking a LONG time and we needed that database up fast. It ended up taking a total of 17 hours.
Now my coworker added the same non-NULL DEFAULT 0 bit column to another table on another important server. But this table has more like 400 million rows. It's been running for 100+ hours and is still going. We were hoping it would scale linearly (5*80 million records would hopefully take 5*17 hours) but that isn't happening. I have no idea how much longer it will take. I really need this to be done. I'm tempted to cancel but that will incur a potentially massive rollback, right? Any guestimate on how large that would be?
Any ideas?

Hi,
I would like to alter a table in a sql server database then update the column with data in the same script. However, the database does not recognize the database column if I create it within the script. Is there a way to refresh this within the script so that I can run this in one procedure? If I create the table in one script then update in a second script it will work. Thanks.

I have a pretty simple SQL query that has two columns that contains only numbers. Is there a way i can add an extra column that simply subtracts the number in one column from number in the other column.I query the data tables rather than have a live link so the .csv file gets overwritten every time i run the query.

I have two queries I would like to combine the output on. they are as follows:
Select substring(WrkSta.[Name],1,2) 'Location'
,count (aexe.ReturnCode) as '# Patched'
from WrkSta, AeXEvt_AeX_SWD_Execution aexe
where WrkSta.WrkStaId=aexe.WrkStaId
and (WrkSta.[Name] like 'ES%' or WrkSta.[Name]like 'EM%' or WrkSta.[Name] like 'EP%'
or WrkSta.[Name]like 'AB%' or WrkSta.[Name] like 'SU-NP%'
or WrkSta.[Name] like 'ET%')
and (aexe.returncode='0' or
aexe.returncode ='3010')
and aexe.AdvertisementName like 'MS05-035-043%'
group by substring (WrkSta.[Name], 1,2)
---
Returns :
Location # Patched
EP 102
ES 1986
ET 19
AB 174
SU 6
EM 506
and the second one:
Select substring(WrkSta.[Name],1,2) 'Location'
,count (coll.WrkStaId ) as '# Workstation'
from WrkSta join AeXNSCollectionMembership coll on WrkSta.WrkStaId=Coll.WrkStaId
where coll.CollectionGuid = '38F5DAFC-E09D-49A5-A0FD-370983CA7596'
and (WrkSta.[Name] like 'ES%' or WrkSta.[Name]like 'EM%' or WrkSta.[Name] like 'EP%'
or WrkSta.[Name]like 'AB%' or WrkSta.[Name] like 'SU-NP%'
or WrkSta.[Name] like 'ET%')
group by substring (WrkSta.[Name], 1,2)
---
returns:
Location # Workstations
EP 178
ES 2299
ET 24
AB 215
SU 13
EM 582
What I need is :
Location # Workstations # Patched
EP 178 102
EI 2299 1986
ET 24 19
AB 215 174
SU 13 6
EM 582 582
No mater how I try to do a join to do this in a single query I end up with what looks like a cross-join and # workstations and # Patched jump to huge numbers. I obviously am having a problem understanding how to set up the select statements so that I can do this in one query or am I following the wrong direction and should be trying something else?
Once again I appreciate your help in advance....

I am working on creating a configuration database. This will connect to many databases on many different servers. What I would like to do is run sp_MSForEachDB then store the name of the current server and database the package is connected to. Then add both of these into a column before running sp_helpuser. I don't know how confusing this is, but I think I may have the code worked out pretty well. If you have any questions, please post them and I will try to answer as best as I can. What I would like the ending result to look like is...
<server1> <database1> <userID1> <datareader>
<server1> <database1> <userID1> <datawriter>
<server1> <database1> <userID2> <datawriter>
<server1> <database2> <userID1> <datawriter>
I am at a loss, and I can't use the sys.<table> tables because it has to be backward compatible. Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi All,
I have developed a report using report viewer in asp.net web form. The report is generated based on the selection of Department. User have an option to multi select the departments so the department column grows. Lets say user select Business category first and generate the report then user decides to add another department say Engineering. No the report column headers will have addional column "Engineering". I have used the Matrix since I had to group by Name and dates. Everything is good so far.
Now I have to add an additional column "Notes" at the end of all the columns. If there is ony department is chosen then Notes column appears after that and if mulitple departments are chosen the Notes column should also appear after all the department column (at the very end).
I am really having hard time to accomplish this. Is there any suggestion or solution to finish this? I really appreciate your responses.
Thank you.

Hello,
VS 2005
I am developing the database application. This is a live database and is being used by the customer. I am to release a new version and I had to add new columns to fit the requirements DateStarted (DateTime), and TotalHours(Int) into a database table.There are already over a 1000 rows in this table.
When the customer wants to look at a record in this table and insert the value into the text boxes (Front-end), when it gets to the DateStarted or TotalHours it comes up with a error message:"
The value for column 'DateStarted' in table 'IncidentTask' is DBNull."The method for inserting is:
Code Snippet
Me.dtDateStarted.Value = Me.DsIncidentsControl.IncidentTask(0).DateStarted
What are the possible solutions to this problem? Would it mean checking for a DBNULL before displaying in the textboxes? Or updating the new column rows with an date:
Code Snippet
UPDATE IncidentTask SET DateStarted = '1/1/2005' WHERE (DateStarted IS NULL)
Many thanks for any suggestions,
Steve

I am looking for ways to add new column to a table with records inside. If I add the column using this statement:ALTER TABLE Table1 ADD NewColumn1 decimal(18, 2) NULLThe column would appear at the end.
Is there a way to set where the column should be placed? (Excluding dropping all columns and add the columns in sequence again). I know this might not be very important, I am interested in knowing how Enterprise Manager done this, since you can move a column up and down to change their sequence eventhough there're records inside.

I have a csv file of quotes. I need to IMPORT the quotes into my SQL Server database. I created the table with an autonumber identity column, but the IMPORT fails because I can't INSERT NULL into my identity column. There is no option to autonumber or anything when I click the TRANSFORM button on the IMPORT wizard. So, I have decided to allow NULLS on the ID column and add the numbering later. I'd rather not have to manually number it, is there a way to do it with a query? I treid just setting it to not allow NULLS and to auto-incrememnt, but that didn't work....
