Append A Field
Aug 27, 2004
Hello,
How do I append data on an update?
I have a table with a field that is nVarchar(1000) and the initial insert is a few sentences. If I wanted to add to that row using an update statement and without starting at the end of the sentences, how would I write that?
Update table set fieldname = 'more data' where value = @variable
instead of
Update table set fieldname = 'initial data more data' where value = @variable
and the 'more data' appends to the initial data... hmmm
help please.

I deliberately intend to add some duplicates to one of my tables. For eg
Job User IsAdmin
JobID 235User ID 1
JobID 235User ID 5
JobID 235User ID 9
JobID 235User ID 5
JobID 235User ID 2
JobID 235User ID 9
JobID 235User ID 10
JobID 235User ID 1
I know its bad practice to do such a thing but there is a genuine reason. What I need to do is to be able to have a SQL statement that appends true to the IsAdmin field whenever it encounters the next UserID thats happens to be a duplicate. Hence the above would look like:
Job User IsAdmin
JobID 235User ID 1
JobID 235User ID 5
JobID 235User ID 9
JobID 235User ID 5 True
JobID 235User ID 2
JobID 235User ID 9 True
JobID 235User ID 10
JobID 235User ID 1 True
Thanks

Hi all,
I have a table with fields name Days1, Days2, Days3 - I am trying to use a loop in conjunction with a counter to identify each of these fields - I can't quite get the correct syntax and it is driving me crazy!!!
Here's the proc:
WHILE @Counter < 4
BEGIN
SELECT @AppointmentsCount = COUNT(tbl_SurgerySlot.SurgerySlotKey)
FROM tbl_SurgerySlot INNER JOIN
tbl_SurgerySlotDescription ON tbl_SurgerySlot.PracticeCode = tbl_SurgerySlotDescription.PracticeCode AND
tbl_SurgerySlot.Label = tbl_SurgerySlotDescription.Label LEFT OUTER JOIN
tbl_Appointment ON tbl_SurgerySlot.SurgerySlotKey = tbl_Appointment.SurgerySlotKey AND
tbl_SurgerySlot.ExtractDate = tbl_Appointment.ExtractDate
WHERE (tbl_SurgerySlot.ExtractDate = @ExtractDate) AND (tbl_Appointment.AppointmentKey IS NULL) AND
(tbl_SurgerySlot.StartTime > @DateFrom) AND (tbl_SurgerySlot.StartTime < @DateTo) AND (tbl_SurgerySlotDescription.IsBookable = 1)
SET @FieldName = 'Days' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),@Counter)
INSERT INTO tmp_Availability (@FieldName)
VALUES (@AppointmentsCount)
SET @DateTo = DATEADD(Day,1,@DateTo)
--Increment the loop counter
SET @Counter = @Counter + 1
When I run the above the follwoing message is displayed:
Server: Msg 208, Level 16, State 3, Line 36
Invalid object name 'tmp_Availability'.
The object IS valid so I'm lost....

I am trying to append some text to a full text field in SQL Server 2000. I tried this; but, it didn't work:
UPDATE DefendantEventPros SET EventComment=EventComment + ' This event was completed on "& Date() &".' WHERE EventNumber="& eventnumber &"
I get an error saying:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Invalid operator for data type. Operator equals add, type equals text.
How can I append some text to the end of a field? Thanks for any help!

my code:
Code Block
void AppendTableTest()

// Define ADOX object pointers, initialize pointers. These are in ADOX namespace.
_CatalogPtr m_pCatalog = NULL;

try {
HRESULT hr = S_OK;
TESTHR(hr = m_pCatalog.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Catalog)));
// Open the catalog
m_pCatalog->PutActiveConnection("Provider='Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0';data source='c:\new.mdb';");

// Delete the table as this is a demonstration.
//m_pCatalog->Tables->Delete("MyTable");
printf("Table 'MyTable' is deleted.");
}

}

Hi
I'd like to create a table on our SQL server that I can append records to when running a query.
What i intend to do is create a new table with the same fields as the query then when the query runs i want it to append the results to this new table. Is this possible? How would I go about creating the table, primary key etc?
I've tried doing this through an access front end but its not efficient and was a bit of a struggle to be honest.
Also, we need other people who may not have access to enterprise manager to be able to run this append query.

I have a problem with a dropdowncontrol. It is databound, but I need to add "select..." to be the first item in the dropdown. Here is the SQL:SELECT * FROM [PB_Subtopics] Where BriefID=" + DropDownList1.SelectedValueSo the problem I am having is I can't just make an item in the dropdownlist called "select..." and then use appenddatabounditems="true". I'm using ajax and it keeps appending stuff over an over without resetting. So I think I'm going to have to do this within the sql. So maybe that was more information than you needed to know. Anyone know how to make the first row of my SQL results be "select..." or whatnot with a value of 0.

I have a huge table with data.I run a procedure everyday to update the table's data with our daily current sales.Let's say the table's primary index is product type.The procedure recreates a skeleton of the table to make sure that it will add only those records whose product type is new to our database thus ignoring the rest of the records due to duplicate key violation error.Now this used to work in access where I used to get a message saying that only 200 out of 4000 records were added,3800 were ignored due to violation key errors.
But in SQL Server, no records at all are being added.Is there a way to overcome this problem?? I tried using "set xact abort" but it only worked in case of foreign key violation but not primary key.
I would really appreciate your inquiry.
Thank you.

I would highly appreciate help to :
I have two databases that are of the same schema but in one-database-A the records are a bit older than the other database-B. I would lilke to sync the records from database-B to database-A appending the records to database-A. The schemas have constraints,primary keys and other defaults in common.
What is the best way to do this task? I tried to use DTS but it fails throwing error Primary key violations on the tables.
Thanks a lot for a good suggestion.

What would be the steps to create a SSIS job to append records from an ODBC table to a SQL table, adding only the records from the source that do not already exist in the destination?
I have another post on this subject, with a good suggestion for the approach, but I need some more detailed instructions for implementing it:
Have you considered to use a Lookup task in your data flow to check if the row already exists in the destination table and then use the error output (no matches) for inserting only non existing rows? Notice that the error output of the lookup task needs to be set as 'redirect rows' in order to get this behavior

Hi All,
When calling my SELECT statement, I would like to have Column name and Data type as the first record. Is this possible to do?
I would like to make a SP that would select all data from any table(with a header row) with just:
_sp_getData ' table_name'
I looked at sysobjects, and syscolumns tables, but was unable to put it all together. I have over 200+ tables, so creating variables for every column is very cumbersome.
Something like this:
select 0 AS SortCol ,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 1 then column_name end) as varchar) as col1,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 2 then column_name end) as varchar) as col2,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 3 then column_name end) as varchar) as col3,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 4 then column_name end) as varchar) as col4,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 5 then column_name end) as varchar) as col5,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 6 then column_name end) as varchar) as col6,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 7 then column_name end) as varchar) as col7,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 8 then column_name end) as varchar) as col8,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 9 then column_name end) as varchar) as col9
from information_schema.columns where table_name = 'authors'
union all
select 1 , au_id, au_lname, au_fname, phone, address, city, state, zip,
cast(contract as varchar)
from authors
Is not an option.
Thank you very much in advance,
Vla Orlovsky

hi,
I am in the process of creating an append query that sends the fields of an open form from my ms access 2000 db to a table in ms sql 2000. I've successfully linked the ms sql tables and created the query to pull data from my form but when i run the append i get a key violation error and nothing gets appended. I know which field is the primary key in ms sql i just don't know how to change my access table to suit, any ideas?
To start I've made my append query simple and it just pulls the contact name. Here's my sql statement if that helps.
CODE
INSERT INTO dbo_PatientMaster ( PatientFirstName, PatientLastName, PatientAccountNumber )
SELECT [Forms]![Contacts]![FirstName] AS Firstname, [Forms]![Contacts]![LastName] AS [Last], [Contacts]![PatientAccountNumber] AS [Patient Account Number]
FROM Contacts, dbo_PatientMaster
GROUP BY [Forms]![Contacts]![FirstName], [Forms]![Contacts]![LastName], [Contacts]![PatientAccountNumber];
In access the patient account number is empty and I just created that field in my access table today.
thanks in advance

Hi I have a table with the following structure:
Table1
-------
Dept
Filed1
Filed2
Field3
Field4
Field5
I have another table with the following structure
(Basically this table will contain a subset of coloumns of Table1)
Table2
-------
Dept
Field1
Field2
Now using a query I would like see all the records with all coloumns in Table1 plus all the records in Table2 appended
i.e
if Table1 row is
IT F1 F2 F3 F4 F5
and if Table2 row is
IT F11 F22
Sales F12 F23
I would like to see a result set with the following structure
Resultset
IT F1 F2 F3 F4 F5
IT F11 F22 NULL NULL NULL
Sales F12 F23 NULL NULL NULL
Can some body explain me how to do this with a query. I tried using union but it requires identical coloumns on both ends( Ofcourse, we can acheive this by having Field3,Field4 and Field5 as blank columns in Table 2 but I don't wanna do that as my original tables are too huge to handle this).
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks,
Sai

Is there a way to do so on the fly in SQL Server 2000? In other words, a field has the latest update date for the table and we wish to use this date as part of the table name. If so, please provide an example.

Hi
I am doing an A level database project. I need to build a system to deal with ordering and selling products.
I am trying to make an append query that will append all the products bought in my "invoices" table to my "archive" table. I want invoices that are three months old to be transferred the the "archive" table. I have been trying to put a criteria in the query for the Date field but I haven't managed to find an expression that works.
I'm sorry if this is too simple and you guys think im just being stupid.
I figured it was worth asking on here!! It's really bugging me.

Ivan writes "Hello,
I am very new to SQL so this may be super easy, or rediculously complex... not sure.
I have a database with a bunch of customers and their total purchase (as well as other junk)on each instance. I want to append a new column to the database that is equal to the average purchase each person makes.
In other words the current db looks like:
(user ID), (purchase amount), (date)
1, 2, 1/1/01
1, 6, 1/3/01
1, 10, 1/10/01
2, 52, 1/4/01
2, 32, 1/7/01
3, 12, 1/1/01
user 1 made 3 purchases of 2, 6, and 10 dollars. That is 18 dollars over 3 purchases so 6 dollars on average.
The new db would be:
(user ID), (purchase amount), (date), (average purchase)
1, 2, 1/1/01, 6
1, 6, 1/3/01, 6
1, 10, 1/10/01, 6
2, 52, 1/4/01, 42
2, 32, 1/7/01, 42
3, 12, 1/1/01, 12
how do I get SQL to calculate the average purchase for each customer and insert that value into every instance of the customer's average purchase field?
the database is static, in that no more data will be added, so a one time aggregation dump is what I need.
Thanks for the help,
Ivan"
