Hi all,
I am looking to transfer a database to another db but I just need to copy the data (not drop the tables and recreate them). Is this possible?
I was thinking of backing up the database in a set of insert statements in a file and execute this file to get the desired result. Or alternatively, to use a data flow task with multiple tables if possible.
Hope there is a way.
Thanks,
Yannis
Is there a way to execute multiple SQL statements within SQL Server? I'm triyng to write a sql statement that will delete from three tables. I need at least two sql statements to delete from these three tables. Can this be done?

I am using query analyzer to build a database,
I want to do certain command in order, that is: not to execute the next statement until the previous one has been finish execution.
What is the command used for this purpose
Thanks for your valuable help
I am not even sure if this is possible but I want to be able to excute several statements (or SPs) at once from inside a SPs (or any other method).
What I am doing is a I am taking data from a single column, multiple rows and making it into one row (i.e. data1 + data2 + data3....) But I am doing this to a total of 2.1 million individual rows and the result will be about 204k rows.... what I have written is basically a nested loop and it works fine but very slow... slow as in it has been running for 24 hours now and it is about 60% done... I need this to finish in under 36 hours preferably...
If I could handle more than one set of data at once (there will be no duplicates) I could speed up the process by how ever many I feel like working with...
So is there a way to execute a statement (sp or function) and go to the next statement without waiting for the first to finish??
Thanks Big Time... I hope this is possible.

Hi, I have a table containing SQl statements. I need to extract the statements and execute them through stored procedure(have any better ideas?)
Table Test
Id Description
1Insert into test(Id,Name) Values (1,'Ron')
2Update Test Set Name = 'Robert' where Id = 1
3Delete from Test where Id = 1
In my stored procedure, i want to execute the above statements in the order they were inserted into the table. Can Someone shed some light on how to execute multiple sql statements in a stored procedure. Thanks

I am seeking a syntax example for executing multiple T-SQL statements in a single stored procedure. For example, I would like to insert a new client record and immediately insert an associated household record. I don't want to have to hit the database twice to accomplish this, and I prefer not to use a trigger.

Is it possible to execute DBCC statements remotely in destination servers through stored procedures existing in source server.
I don’t want to use isql, osql, openquery, openresultset because I have to pass user id or password.
I have linked the required SQL servers using Linked servers.
If so please give some example.
Thanks in Advance,

Hi, all
I'm using Sql server 2000
I want to make select statement dynamically and return table using function.
in sp, I've done this but, in function I don't know how to do so.
(I have to create as function since our existing API..)
Following is my tials...
1.
alter Function fnTest
( @fromTime datetime, @toTime datetime)
RETURNS Table
AS
RETURN Exec spTest @from, @to
GO
Yes, it give syntax error..
2. So, I found the following
From Sql Server Books Online, Remark section of CREATE FUNCTION page of Transact-SQL Reference , it says following..
"The following statements are allowed in the body of a multi-statement function. Statements not in this list are not allowed in the body of a function: "
.....
* EXECUTE statements calling an extended stored procedures.
So, I tried.
alter Function fnTest
( @fromTime datetime, @toTime datetime)
RETURNS Table
AS
RETURN Exec master..xp_msver
GO
It doesn't work... syntax err...
Here I have quick question.. How to execute statements calling an extended stored procedures. any examples?
Now, I'm stuck.. how can I create dynamic select statement using function?
I want to know if it's possible or not..
I want to include GO statements to execute a large stored procedure in batches, how can I do that?

Hi guys! I have these commands that insert into two tables, if condition 1 is met, it will insert into the first table, if the second condition is met, it will insert into the second table.
Is there a way for the insert statements to be merged so that I won't be executing two statements?

I need to write some insert statements, 1 per table, ~100 tables, all having the approximante form:
Select Into TableA Select * From TableB
Except that I need explicit statements:
Select Into TableA Col1, Col2, Col3, ... ColN Values ...
The reason is that I need to preserve the current identity values (it's a replication setup scenario). I can set Identity_Insert On, but then it wants the explicit column names and values.
Is there a wizard or utility that will generate the statements for me? With
100 tables in the db, I'm not looking forward to writing it all :-)
TIA,
Arthur

Hello,
I am creating my companys' database and I have a small problem that must be
solved.
I have a pictures table:
PicturesTable
-------------
ProductID int ForeignKey
Picture nvarchar(30)
...
(A product can have many pictures & the ProductID is unique for any product,
but not for the table of pictures).
What I want to do is to somehow do a procedure to:
1) Check if any images (for a productID) exists in the table
2) if they do not exist then add the appropriate images into the table
3) if the images exist, then update the images with the new one that I have.
What I thought was to just delete all the images from the table for the
specific product:
DELETE FROM PicturesTable
WHERE ProductID = '10-11'
and then add the appropriate images:
INSERT INTO PicturesTable (ProductID, Picture)
VALUES ('10-11', 'Dir1/Pic1.gif')
INSERT INTO PicturesTable (ProductID, Picture)
VALUES ('10-11', 'Dir1/Pic2.gif')
INSERT INTO PicturesTable (ProductID, Picture)
VALUES ('10-11', 'Dir1/Pic3.gif')
but I do not like a lot this idea because if a user tries to read the pictures
for that product (at the same time I was deleting them) s/he would get
nothing. Is any other way that I can do it please?
I would appreciate it if someone answers me.
Yours, sincerely

Hi Friends,
I have the following set of Insert Statements that calculates sums for various criteria and inserts a row at a time onto my table.

Hello,
I would like to get opinions about the code below and what I can do to improve it. I don't know if I am using the best techniques in this code. I am not running into any problems, but I am assuming there has to be cleaner ways of doing this.
Also I am trying to figure out why the INSERT INTO statement in the query is giving me the error:
"The column prefix '#ttsku' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query."
The purpose of the code is to select all the item records from a linked server (Non MS SQL) and bring it into a temp table. I did this because I can't create a cursor to the other DB.
Using this temp table, look if the SKU table has the item in it, if it does then update the record, otherwise I need to create the record and fill in the values from the temp table.
Finally I need to delete any records that don't exist in the temp table.
Here is the code:
SELECT
pt_mstr.pt_part as part,

Hello all. Got bit of a long winded question here...........so here we go lol.
OK.......ive got data on an Excel spreadsheet. Ive set the spreadsheet up as a linked server and i'm creating a set of insert statements from it by using the following code:
SELECT 'INSERT INTO TRAINREC (COURSE_NAME) VALUES ('''+
EMPLOY_REF + ''', '''+
FROM AtriumDD...['Employee Training Records$']
For most records this generates a correct insert statement.........for example:
INSERT INTO TRAINREC (EMPLOY_REF, COURSE_NAME) VALUES ('153', 'NMA Panel');
However.........my problems start when the value for course name is containes an ' character. If it does the insert statement generated is incorrect. For example:
INSERT INTO TRAINREC (EMPLOY_REF, COURSE_NAME) VALUES ('139', 'Annual Accounting in Lloyd's Market');
can anyone suggest any ideas on how to get round this? Also if i havent explained it clearly enough just let me know and i can try and expand on it.
Thanks for reading.
Hi,
I'm using version 3.5.5386.0 of SqlServerCompact Edition for windows mobile.
My first tests indicates that an insert statement with '?' ist 20 % faster than with '@p1' parameters:
"INSERT INTO Itest(PKey,value1,value2,value3,Date1) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?)"
"INSERT INTO Itest(PKey,value1,value2,value3,Date1) VALUES (@P1,@2,@3,@P4,@P5)"
I've no explanation for that. I reported some problems with the '?' parameters in my other task http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2715685&SiteID=1
So I'm a little bit afraid to use this version.
Is there a recommandation which version to use for Inserts?
Thanks,
Stefan

View 2 Replies View RelatedOur existing DW's ETL was written in a very complex fashion by the previous team. They use DTS package lookups to read a row in the Source SQL Server database see if that row exists in the taget SQL Server database. If the row does not exist, they use ActiveX scripts to INSERT the row in the target SQL Server database. If it exists, they update the row on the target side. How would you do this in SSIS? Apologize if this sounds like a basic question, however, I would have done this via Stored Procedures or SQL Scripts especially since it involves SQL Servers alone. Appreciate any help.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a file with about 600,000 lines of insert statement given to me by a developer.
There are basically 5 inserts into different tables for each Product or Item. Each Insert MUST run in the order specified and must complete before the next insert runs,
To complicate things further, there are triggers that fire on every insert and each trigger must complete its transaction before the next insert starts.
What is the best and most efficient way to run the inserts, while ensuring that each statement completes before the next.
Tried using Serialization but appears some of the transactions overlap and generate errors.
Tried disabling the triggers but run into other problems.
At this point I am tempted to run each statement manually

Hello!I have a developer that is playing around with some SQL statementsusing VB.NET. He has a test table in a SQL 2000 database, and he hasabout 2000 generated INSERT statements.When the 2000 INSERT statements are run in SQL query analyzer, all2000 rows are added to the table. When he tries to send the 2000statements to SQL Server through his app., a random number ofstatements do not get executed. But, SQL Profiler shows that each ofthe 2000 statements are getting sent to the server.I suggested that he add a "GO" statement at the end of the INSERTblock, but the statement fails when that is sent to the server.I know that this is not the ideal manner to insert bulk data to thesystem, but now we are all just curious as to why SQL server doesn'texecute each individual INSERT.Any thoughts?
