CREATE TABLE FROM ANOTHER TABLE WITHOUT COPYING DATA
Feb 20, 2008
select * into dbo.ashutosh from attribute where 1=2
"USE WHERE 1=2 TO AVOID COPYING OF DATA"
//HERE "ASHUTOSH" IS THE NEW TABLE NAME AND "ATTRIBUTE" IS THE TABLE WHOSE REFERENCE IS USED//
//the logic is to use where clause with 1=2 which will never be true and hence it will not return any row//
If on the source I have a new column, the script generated by SqlPackage.exe recreates the table on the background with moving the data into a temp storage. If the table is big, such approach can cause issues.
Example of the script is below: in the source project I added columns [MyColumn_LINE_1] and [MyColumn_LINE_5].
Is there any way I can make it generating an alter statement instead?
BEGIN TRANSACTION; SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE; SET XACT_ABORT ON; CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tmp_ms_xx_MyTable] ( [MyColumn_TYPE_CODE] CHAR (3) NOT NULL,
[Code] ....
The same script is generated regardless the table having data or not, having a clustered or nonclustered PK.
i have 2 tables (both containing the same column names/datatypes), say table1 and table2.. table1 is the most recent, but some rows were deleted on accident.. table2 was a backup that has all the data we need, but some of it is old, so what i want to do is overwrrite the rows in table 2 that also exist in table 1 with the table 1 rows, but the rows in table 2 that do not exist in table one, leave those as is.. both tables have a primary key, user_id.
Probabaly a silly question yet as a DOTNET developer, I'm trying to simulate DTS when for example, I don't have permission to perform DTS on a production server.
In particular and interested regards caching of rows before the service decides to flush the buffer and write to the target table. Safe to assume DTS is cursor based?
I have a text file which needs to be created into a table (let's call it DataFile table). For now I'm just doing the manual DTS to import the txt into SQL server to create the table, which works. But here's my problem....
I need to extract data from DataFile table, here's my query:
select * from dbo.DataFile where DF_SC_Case_Nbr not like '0000%';
Then I need to create a new table for the extracted data, let's call it ExtractedDataFile. But I don't know how to create a new table and insert the data I selected above into the new one.
Also, can the extraction and the creation of new table be done in just one stored procedure? or is there any other way of doing all this (including the importation of the text file)?
I need to copy the following columns from my Employee table in my Performance DB to my Employee table in my VacationRequest DB: CompanyID, FacilityID, EmployeeID, FirstName, LastName, [Password] = 'nippert', Role = 'Employee' I tried the advice on this website but to no avail:http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_select_into.asp
I have "inherited" a project working on a SQL 2000 database. The project calculates commissions based on data from an invoice header table and an invoice details table. The goal is to extract data from the primary database tables, perform limited manipulations, and store the resultant data into a table in a different database for reference and reporting. I have the query complete that extracts and manipulates the data, but I am stuck in trying to add this data to the final storage/reporting table. I would also like to do error checking to be certain that a record is not "re-inserted" from the source data to the destination table. Thanks in advance, Barry
This table stores common information used in resolving technical problems based on Subject and Topic. However, I've now created a Subject/Topic where I want to copy all the data that corresponds to another Subject/topic.
Example:
There are 35 rows that correspond to Subject = 'Publisher01' and Topic = 'Subcategory03'. I want to create 35 new rows that contain the same RD and RR data, but have Subject = 'Publisher02' and Topic = 'Subcategory07'. Highest current RRID = 5008
I cannot figure out how to write that query. I apologize in advance for the fact that this is, no doubt, a seriously beginner question.
Hello, I have a Data Flow Source that uses a SQL Command to pull data. In the SQL statement, I used CAST to change all varchar types to Nvarvchar to suit MS Access. I can preview the data from the source. In testing, the SQL statement only pulls about ten records.
I have a Microsoft 2000 Access database table as a destination. Data in each column in the table is required, and all columns have defaults.
I also have a grid data viewer set up. I have the DefaultBufferMaxRows set to 2 so that I can see data going across. When I execute this dataflow, no data is transfered to the Access database table. No data shows up in the dataviewer. There are no errors. The 'Execution Results' tab does not show errors, but indicates that zero rows were transfered. There are no warnings.
How do I begin to isolate the problem? The following is the SQL Statement in the Data Flow Source. Thank you for your help! - cdun2

I have SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMS Express) and SQL Server 2005 Express (SS Express) installed in my Windows XP Pro PC that is on Microsoft Windows NT 4 LAN System. My Computer Administrator grants me the Administror Privilege to use my PC. I tried to use SQLQuery.sql (see the code below) to create a table "LabResults" and insert 20 data (values) into the table. I got Error Messages 102 and 156 when I did "Parse" or "Execute". This is my first time to apply the data type 'decimal' and the "VALUES" into the table. I do not know what is wrong with the 'decimal' and how to add the "VALUES": (1) Do I put the precision and scale of the decimal wrong? (2) Do I have to use "GO" after each "VALUES"? Please help and advise.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

I have a table, dbo.Table1(Id,Col1,Col2,Col3,Col4,Col5,Col6,Col7,Col8) that I need to split between two tables dbo.Table2(Id, Col1, Col3, Col4) and dbo.Table3(Id,dbo.Table2_Id,Col5,Col6,Col7,Col8). But in dbo.Table3 I need to have the Id column from dbo.Table2 populated since its a foreign key constraint in dbo.Table3. How do I go about doing this?
I have 3 tables with the follwing schema Table <Category> {
UniqueID, LastDate DateTime }
Assume the follwing tables with data following the above schema
Table Cat1 {
1, D1 2, D2 3, D3 } Table Cat2 {
2, D4 3,D5 4, D6 } Table Cat3 {
1, D7 3,D8 5,D9 }
I have a Master and the schema is as follows Table master {
UniqueId, Cat1 DateTime, -- This is same as the Table name Cat2 DateTime, -- This is same as the Table name Cat3 DateTime -- This is same as the Table name }
After inserting the data from all these 3 tables, I want the my master table to look like this Table Master {
From a source table (in SERVER1) I get ids of candidates and from another source (in SERVER2) I get their CVs (text files stored in various Folders). My destination table (in SERVER3) has two fields, CandidateId & CandidateCV.
I have to transfer the data in above fashion for nearly 1 million records. How can I write a DTS package which picks up the text file from SERVER2 based on the CandidateId which comes from SERVER1? Probably I need some kind of looping mechanism which changes the candidate id & his CV file.
Is it possible to easily copy data from one table to another if the data types don't match. I know you can do a INSERT INTO table1(col1,col2) SELECT (col2,col7) FROM table2 if the data types match but is there a way to do this if they don't. I'm not trying to copy date times into bit fields or anything. I just have an old table that I built when I really didn't know what I was doing now I at leastthink I have a better understanding of what data types to use, so I was wanting to move the data in the orignal table to my new one. Most of the fields in the olddatabase are text datatypes and the new database is nvarchar(50) data types. Thanks for any suggestions.
I need to update a table by copying a column from another table(having the samestructure, but on another database), from the record having the sameprimary key.1 - What is the correct query?2 - I tried copying them record by record, but the datatype is ntext,(it displays <longtext> in the result pane), and trying to update it results in thefollowing errormessage:The text, ntext, and image data types are invalid in this subquery oraggregateexpression.I tried variations of the following:UPDATE TABLESET column0 = (SELECTcolumn0FROManotherDB.dbo.TABLEWHEREanotherDB.dbo.TABLE.column1 = column1)WHEREanotherDB.dbo.TABLE.column1 = column1
For reasons that are not relevant (though I explain them below *), Iwant, for all my users whatever privelige level, an SP which createsand inserts into a temporary table and then another SP which reads anddrops the same temporary table.My users are not able to create dbo tables (eg dbo.tblTest), but arepermitted to create tables under their own user (eg MyUser.tblTest). Ihave found that I can achieve my aim by using code like this . . .SET @SQL = 'CREATE TABLE ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstIDDATETIME)'EXEC (@SQL)SET @SQL = 'INSERT INTO ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())'EXEC (@SQL)This becomes exceptionally cumbersome for the complex INSERT & SELECTcode. I'm looking for a simpler way.Simplified down, I am looking for something like this . . .CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestInsert ASCREATE TABLE tblTest(tstID DATETIME)INSERT INTO tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())GOCREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestSelect ASSELECT * FROM tblTestDROP TABLE tblTestIn the above example, if the SPs are owned by dbo (as above), CREATETABLE & DROP TABLE use MyUser.tblTest while INSERT & SELECT usedbo.tblTest.If the SPs are owned by the user (eg MyUser.TestInsert), it workscorrectly (MyUser.tblTest is used throughout) but I would have to havea pair of SPs for each user.* I have MS Access ADP front end linked to a SQL Server database. Forreports with complex datasets, it times out. Therefore it suit mypurposes to create a temporary table first and then to open the reportbased on that temporary table.
An SSIS package to transfer data from a DB instance on SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2000 is extremely slow. The package uses an OLEDB Source to OLEDB Destination for data transfer which is basically one table from sql server 2005 to sql server 2000. The job takes 5 minutes to transfer about 400 rows at night when there is very little activity on the server. During the day the job almost always times out.
On SQL Server 200 instances the job ran in minutes in the old 2000 package.
Is there an alternative to this. Tranfer Objects task does not work as there is apparently a defect according to Microsoft. Please let me know if there is any other option other than using a Execute 2000 package task or using an ActiveX Script to read records from one source and to insert them into the destination source, which I am not certain how long it might take and how viable will that be?
Hello, In SQL Server 2000, is it possible to take a table with one field (column), and pivot the table so that the characters in the row data become the field (column) names of another table ( or in a View)? The number of records could vary.
Hi, I am working on SQL Server 2005 Express and what i want to do is to created a CSV file from a database Table or a View......I search around and find that I Can use BCP for that purpose..Ne other good idea if you people suggest....as BCP is not working on my PC while i am connected to database server...So plz suggest me the right way to do so... thanx
In SQL Server Management Studio, I can right-click a table and choose:
Script Table as > CREATE To > New Query Editor Window
When I run the script on another database, it creates the table without the data. Is there an option to bring the data (i.e. the contents of the table) along with the table definition?
I first got this map from SQL Server Magazine subscription. Now isee it's available to download as a PDF from Microsoft.http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...&displaylang=enI've just installed Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionalsand for the next coming weeks i'll get a chance to see what kind of datamodel design capabilities the product offers.My question would be do you know how I can make our databasemodel look cool like this map? Would you know if this is a third partysoftware that does this with nice colors and all?Do you think I can do similar quality data model map using VSTE forDB Pro?Thank you
I have a database that I have been creating and testing. I have added some junk data and some data into lookup tables. Is there a way to create a clean copy of the db and keep the lookup table data? Also will I be able to create the db under a new name?
Create view All_employee AS SELECT Emp_Name, Emp_code FROM dbo.Employee UNION ALL SELECT Emp_Name, Emp_code FROM Emp_201402.Employee
But we have a different "Schema" for same table because we have archive table with same table name but with different schema name. Now we have req to make view which contain data of all table. But I can't seem to figure out how to do it in a view.
SET NOCOUNT ON DECLARE @Count INT, @TotalCount INT, @SQL VARCHAR( MAX ) DECLARE @Schema TABLE ( ID INT, NAME VARCHAR(512) ) INSERT INTO @Schema SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY SCHEMA_ID), Name FROM sys.schemas where name like '%emloyee%' ORDER BY schema_id ASC
[Code] ....
Don' think that works.
Is this possible with a view or it other way to do it?
I want to create a table. One of the columns should be in the data type MONEY with two digits on the right side of the decimal point. How is that possible?
In my organization, we have a database which exceed unto 2 GB. The application on which we are working is developing since the time of asp / cb 6 and in short it is the baby of many developers. It is a kind of ERP which has no documentation.
Problem 1: ========= Now, to reduce the size of the database we have examined some of the orphan procedures, tables, and columns. Is it possible for me to create a DTS package which create the backup of all the orphan stuff to some other database and delete it from the actual one. Moreover, We still have doubts that some of fields which we think are orphan, might not be. So we need another DTS package which rollback all the changes. (Any Idea for that)
Problem 2: ========= We want another DTS package which would move the data from one database to another and same rollback DTS for this one. (Any Idea for that)
Problem 3: ========= How can we use DTS programming to do these tasks ? what benefits do I got from DTS Programming over DTS Wizard.
