I know this must be simple, but I am stumpted, please help!
I am writing a stored procedure in SQL 2000 where an incomming variable is a string of characters (a couple of sentences) and I want to add that to the existing string of characters in a table field called "Comments".
I do not know how to append the text in a field. How is that best done?
The basic function of the procedure is to take whatever string is passed to it and append it to the current contents of the field "Comments". As the procedure is ran over and over again, the field is constantly appended with the incomming text.
What is the best way to do this? Can anyone give me an example?

I would like to update a field that already has data in it and I dont' want to overwrite the existing text. Here is my existing statement
UPDATE wr SET cf_notes = " + tmp_array(24) + " WHERE wr_id = " + data_temp(0)
I would like to add cf_notes + tmp_array(24) to cf_notes. Is this possible in SQL? If so, what is the correct syntax. I have tried 6 different statements and I get a compile error on every statement.
Is the merge method, what will work in this case ? I have two datatables with the exact same structure. How can I append the rows from table 2 onto the bottom of table 1 ? Is looping through the rows collection the only way ?
I am trying to append the current row ID to a string I am trying to insert via a sproc. I have retrieved the @@Identity and I am passing it into a class with a parameter and calling it using:
Listings.UpdateDB AddNewListing = new Listings.UpdateDB();
I have two tables that have the same column names, data type and length in each. The only difference is that one is the USA ( COUNTRY) and the other is International ( COUNTRY ). I want to make these two tables into one table. I don't think that a "UNION" will do that on a permanent basis. What other options do I have?
We're running SQL 6.5 SP3, we recycle our SQL server every day, somehow starting last December, the errorlog kept appending to the previous one without starting a new log, and it keeps on growing, any one knows anywhere I should look into ? If SQL behaves properly, it should starts a new log after each recycle. I checked from Technet this problem may occur in 4.2 but I haven't seen anything in 6.5....Thanks Anthony
I need to make sure I'm doing this correctly can you help me out guys please?? This is an Appending Stored procedure it should move values from the EmployeeGamingLicense table when the status is turned into TERMINATED to the GCEmployeeTerms table. Heres what I have so far, having problems with the rest of the script getting errors

DTS wizard is not allowing me to append the data to a text file. Every time I run DTS and choose the destination to be this text file (say A.txt), it overwrites the data. I have a table whose data I am dumping to a text file. I truncate the table, then get the data again into it and want to append it to the same text file. But I end up overwriting the text file with the new data.
Hello all! I have a dts package exporting a text file. I would like for the dts job to append to the end of the file each time it is ran, rather than overwriting it. Is there a simple solution for this?
When I create a db backup on our network using BACKUP DATABASE...
BACKUP DATABASE [TKKCommonData] TO DISK = N'G:SQL_BACKUPSTKKCommonDataTKKCommonData_DATA.bak' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'TKKCommonData_DATA-Full Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
I've specified the NOINIT so that it appends rather than overwrites the database, however the database is still overwritten. Any idea how to get the database to backup and append to the set rather than overwrite the backup ?
I have subscription records for five different magazine titles that i process by looping each one though a dataflow using a for-each loop. I am using the following instructions to append to the raw file: http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2005/12/01/2443.aspx
This works fine when I pass four different magazine titles. when i try to run all of the titles(five), i get the following errors:
[Raw File Destination [131195]] Warning: The parameter is incorrect. [DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "Raw File Destination" (131195) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0x80070057.
Currently I have a maintenance plan running a Full backup weekly, differential backups nightly, and log backups hourly. The log backups are all going into a single backup file - but it's hard to see what's going on behind the scenes here.
Does this file get 'reset' when the full backup is performed? Will it just keep growing indefinitely and should I be creating new files for each log backup, or manually deleting the file each week during the full backup task?
(SQL 7 on NT Server) I want to append a table with 1200 rows, using DTS. While I know it is better to do while no one is using the database, exactly what impact will it have if I do this while the database is online? Which leads me to my next question: Exactly what operations can I do while the db is online, and what ones should I not even think of. Most of my needs are data imports and exports. I haven't found much in Online Books about this. Any help would be appreciated very much.
unfortunaly i have two tables where usernames are stored. in the one table the column is called 'remote_U' in the other 'remote_u' ... note the upper case
so want to generate listof all usernames and retrieve them in a single a column.
like SELECT DISTINCT remote_U FROM table1 APPEND (SELECT DISTINCT remote_u FROM table 2)
i have tried joins and groups, but is not working. can i also do an alphabetical order after appending the second select? distinct is needed, 'cos one user may have more then one entry in the table, but may be also in both tables ....
Hey All, I am currently backing up a SQL 2000 Database by doing full backups everynight. I would like to cut this back to once a week and do differential backups during the week. BUT... How can I do differential backups without appending or overwriting the night befores backup? I'm sure this can be done through command line but im not exactly sure of the process. If anyone can help please post...
I am having a problem with a DTS package I am writing. The package is getting text from a table and putting it out to a text file. I have most of it sorted, and contains text like this: PN,GEN,T_KI-3,2006-01-24 00:30,480,2006-01-24 01:00,480 PN,GEN,T_KI-2,2006-01-24 00:40,484,2006-01-24 02:00,482 PN,GEN,T_KI-3,2006-01-24 00:50,490,2006-01-24 05:00,486 What I need is a line at the end of the text which is: <EOF>
So the output from this will look like: PN,GEN,T_KI-3,2006-01-24 00:30,480,2006-01-24 01:00,480 PN,GEN,T_KI-2,2006-01-24 00:40,484,2006-01-24 02:00,482 PN,GEN,T_KI-3,2006-01-24 00:50,490,2006-01-24 05:00,486 <EOF>
I am having problems adding the line at the end of the text file. Can anyone advice me of a good solution or show me where I amn going wrong?
Now I want to create usernames from #test1 by considering first character of first name and last name and if same combination found then append with 01.
Example if #test1 contains data as below:
1,Abhas, Pawar 2, Arun, Pawar 3, Ashis, Panday
Then i want to create username like:
apawar apawar01 apanday02
but if same username exists in #test2 then i want to inser records as below:
first apawar will check in #test2, if not exists insert as it is:
if apawar01 exists in #test2 then, cretae apawar02 instead of apawar01
for next create apawar03 and insert and so on...
In brief I want to check created username eith #table2 and if same exists then first check if lower value available if not then create with lower value and insert.
I have a table with a field called "pro_nums" and needs to have a leading zero appended to it. The field is a varchar datatype and I tried doing an update that simply said '0' + pro_num but that didn't work. What do I need to do to append this leading zero?
I have numerous entries of same id name belonging to same median number.However,I want to only retain the entries having the longest first and end position and discard the remaining entries
E.g. for id name ="PSK_30s1207681L002" AND median = 5 we have four entries
Hey guys. I need a little help once again, here's the problem:
We are using an attendance system software that adds records in an Access 97 table whenever someone logs in or out of the room (Yes, it's old and I hate it, but it came with the hardware).
So we plan to create a program that lets admins check those login/logout data in an SQL Server 2005 database using a Visual Basic as the frontend.
Our only problem is, how do we transfer data from the Access 97 tables to our SQL tables *everytime* it gets updated? We don't need every detail the Access97 table has (it has IDNo, CardNo, Time, Location, plus other useless stuff). We just need to extract the IDNo(int) and Location(varchar) field(we'll just use getdate() for the Time since the update is done in realtime anyway).
So in a way, we are trying to find out a way to technically sync both tables, just like Database Mirroring style.
Hiya everyone,I have two tables in SQL 2000. I would like to append the contents ofTableA to TableB.Table A has around 1.1 Million Records.Table B has around 1 Million Reocords.Basically TableA has all of the data held in TableB plus 100,000additional records. I would only like to import or append these newadditional records. I have a unique index already setup on Table B.Any ideas pretty pretty please?Paul.Ps. (Have been messing around with DTS but get a unique violation error- Which is kinda what I want I guess, but would like SQL to ignore theerror and only copy the new data - if only)
Hi,I recently had to add a new column to a table that resides off-site,in a customer's environment. Previously, the table had around 300columns, all of which were in alphabetical order.I found that the ALTER TABLE command appeared to be only capable ofappending a new column, but wasn't capable of inserting one into themiddle of the table.Since alphabetical order wasn't a requirement, but just a "nice tolook at" feature, I appended it anyway, and forgot about it.Anyone know of a clever way to do this though?Curiously,Warren WrightScorex Development Team
Is there a way in SSIS to go through a certain column in a table and to collect incrementally the values for each row in this column and to finally insert the final value to a second field or parameter?
Is it possible to do it with no external code? only within SSIS tasks?
