Change Duplicate Data In Server Column
Oct 17, 2014
I want to change duplicate data in my sql server column.
the data= 'Barack Obama' , what I want
'Barack Obama 23453'
I have the following query:
UPDATE klant SET naamvoornaam=naamvoornaam + CAST(klantnummer AS VARCHAR)
WHERE naamvoornaam NOT IN (
SELECT(naamvoornaam)
FROM klant
GROUP BY naamvoornaam
HAVING ( COUNT(naamvoornaam) = 1 ))
Message from messages:
String or binary data would be truncated.
I think the max length exceeds the length of the destination column. I've tried:
Max(Len(naamvoornaam + CAST(klantnummer AS VARCHAR)))
message from messages:
An aggregate may not appear in the set list of an UPDATE statement.

Hello,
This probably has been addressed before but I was unable to get the search to work properly on this site.
I am needing a script/way of deleting all rows from a DB with the exception of one record left for each row that has duplicate column data. Example :
Row 1
Field1 = 12345 Field2 =xxxxx Field 3=yyyyy Field4=zzzzz etc.
Row 2
Field1 = 12345 Field2 =zzzzzz Field 3=xxxxxx Field4=yyyyyy etc.
Row3
Field1 = 12345 Field2 =20202 Field 3=11111 Field4=zzzzz etc.
Row 4
Field1 = 54321 Field2 =xxxxx Field 3=yyyyy Field4=zzzzz etc.
Etc. Etc.
I want to be able to find the duplicates for Field1 and then delete all but 1 of those rows.( I don't care which one I keep just so only one is left.) The data in the other fields may or may not be unique.
I know how to find the duplicates it's just the deleting part I am having problems with. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks,
Kerry

I have a results table that was created from many different sources in SSIS. I have done calculations and created derived columns in it. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to remove duplicate rows from this table without first writing it to a temp sql table and then parsing through it to remove them.
each row has a like key in a column - I would like to remove like rows keeping specific columns in the resulting row based on the data in this key field.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Ad.

I would like to change column data in all tables in a single database at once.
For instance, i have many tables in a database, and about 30% of the tables has the column "orderplace".
And all the data in orderplace (every tables in the database) are "houston". instead of going to each table and
"update table set orderplace = 'dallas' " .... is there anyway that i could run a sql statement and it will update all the tables in database that has the orderplace column to "orderplace = 'dallas' " ?
any ideas ? thanks.

More or less I need to set the value of table 1/column 2 to match table 2/column 3, where the serial_numbers are the same in both tables serial_number columns, the data being changed is set as Small int...

I have two tables:
dtr
dataid........Subtype
data
docid....mimetype
I need to change the value of column mimetype in table data, but only for these entries which have the value 144 in column "Subtype" in table dtr.
Here is my sql:
with cte as (
select
DataID,
SubType,
MimeType
from dtr A1, data A2
where A1.dataid=A2.Docid And A1.Subtype='144'
AND
A2.mimetype='application/news-message-id'
)
update cte set MimeType = 'application/x-outlook-msg'
I've tested it and it works. Do you see any problems with this SQL?
As updates are risky I'll do a database backup. Is it possible to get all changed entries so that I can track my update, because I don't have a report about the changes? Maybe that everythin is transferred to an output file?

Hi All,
I am using SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition fully patched. Database is in Simple Recovery mode.
I need to change a column's data type from "int(4)" to "smallint(2)". I know for sure that there will be no data (precision) lost, because I know the possible values that this column could have.
My problem is that the table I am dealing with has 600,000,000 records in it. I dropped all indexes before I tried to alter the table. But still it is taking forever and filling up my 280GB disk with transaction log file.
I know that in Oracle, if I want I can turn off logging and do these kind of modifications relatively faster.
I was wondering if there is a way of disabling logging before running this alter command.
What is the best practice to handle a situation of this sort?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance,
Sinan Topuz

I have a query that produces unique rows. However, some of the unique rows have the column called testname that has the same test listed more than once. All I want to do is drop the older testname and keep the testdate column.
Select
Distinct
TestID,
TestDate,
TestName
From third.test
I want to keep testdate in the query....guessing I need to put in to a temp table then drop the oldest one somehow by doing a subquery using Select Max....

I need to update a large table, about 55 million rows, without filling the transaction log, in the shortest time as possible. The goal is to alter the table and change the data type for Text column from VARCHAR(7900) to NVARCHAR(MAX).
Since I cannot do it with an ALTER TABLE statement (it would fill up the transaction log) I'm thinking to:
- rename column Text in Text_OLD
- add Text column of type NVARCHAR(MAX)
- copy values in batches from Text_OLD to Text
The table is defined like:
create table DATATEXT(
rID INTEGER NOT NULL,
sID INTEGER NOT NULL,
pID INTEGER NOT NULL,
cID INTEGER NOT NULL,
err TINYINT NOT NULL,
[Code] ....
I've thought about a stored procedure doing this but how to copy values in batch from Text_OLD to Text.
The code I would start with (doing just this part) is the following, but maybe there are more efficient ways to do it, or at least there's a better way to select @startSeq in the WHILE loop (avoiding to select a bunch of 100000 sequences and later selecting the max).
declare @startSeq timestamp
declare @lastSeq timestamp
select @lastSeq = MAX(sequence) from [DATATEXT] where [Text] is null
select @startSeq = MIN(Sequence) FROM [DATATEXT] where [Text]is null
BEGIN TRANSACTION T1
WHILE @startSeq < @lastSeq
[Code] ....

There are 3 columns in the result set - part num, Qty and MO num. Each MO num has part numbers.So there might be same part numbers in MO's. Each part num has qty. So, if I group by part num, I get Qty.
1.There are duplicates of part.num and I want to remove duplicates and add quantities of those duplicates into one single quantity. For example, xxxx is a part num, then xxxx=1,xxxx=3,xxxx=5. I want xxxx=9. I want to sum those. Another question is, each MO has a user. I want to join user and MO num in MO.
Heres the code,
part.num , (woitem.qtytarget/wo.qtytarget) AS woitemqty,
(SELECT LIST(wo.num, ',') FROM wo INNER JOIN moitem ON wo.moitemid = moitem.id WHERE moitem.moid = mo.id) AS wonums FROM mo INNER JOIN moitem ON mo.id = moitem.moid
LEFT JOIN wo ON moitem.id = wo.moitemid
LEFT JOIN woitem ON wo.id = woitem.woid AND woitem.typeid = 10 LEFT JOIN (Select sum(woitem.qtytarget) as labor, woitem.woid, uom.code as uom from woitem JOIN part on woitem.partid = part.id and part.typeid = 21 JOIN uom on woitem.uomid = uom.id group by 2,3) as labor on wo.id = labor.woid LEFT JOIN part ON woitem.partid = part.id

I have a requirement to implement CDC for 50+ tables to implement incremental data changes warehouse/reporting rather than exporting the whole table data. The largest table is having more than half a billion records.
The warehouse use a daily copy of OLTP db (daily DB refresh). How can I accomplish this. Is there a downside in implementing CDC just for the sake of taking incremental changes on the tables?
Is there any performance impact if we enable CDC on OLTP db?
Can we make use of the CDC tables on the environment we do daily db refresh so that the queries don't hit OLTP database?
What is the best way to implement CDC to take incremental changes for reporting.

hi all,
I have created a table in sql server 2005 as follows:
table name --> sampletest
1.id -->int ,identity,primary key
2. student_name --> varchar(50),not null
2. active --> bit, default value=1
Using vb.net 2005 , i entered names into sampletest. And when i check the table in the sql server 2005 the names are inserted and the active value is 1.
In another page i added a drop down list which bind all the student_name from sampletest and a delete button.
Now when i select a name and click the delete button that respective item's active column should be changed to 0. if any one who knows how to do this please help me..
thanks
swapna.
When i enter names into the student_name it's active state is "true".I do this programmatically using vb.net 2005.

I have the following two tables:
CREATE TABLE [MailBox].[Message](
[Id] [bigint] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[SenderId] [bigint] NOT NULL,
[Message] [nvarchar](max) NOT NULL,
[SentDate] [datetime] NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_MailBox.Message] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[Code] ....
I'm building a messaging functionality in to my application, I'm able to insert a message into the database and this message then appears inside the other users inbox. The issue I have it when I click on this message to view the conversation I make a call to the following sp as shown here:
@UserId bigint,
@SenderId bigint
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
[Code] .....
The problem with this is I'm trying to connect to the user photos table to return their profile picture, but for some reason even though I have specified IsProfilePic I get all the photos returned, instead it should be two photos, one for the @UserId and the other for the @SenderId, its equivalent to me doing this:
Select *
From [User].[User_Photos]
where (UserId = 1 or UserId = 2) and IsProfilePic = 1
And this returns me the correct information.

When using Change Data Capture on SQL Server 2012 I have researched that you cannot truncate data in a table. Is this also true if one wanted to delete data from the table? Getting a little confused about what DDL statements can be ran against a table with CDC enabled. Does CDC have to be disabled before performing certain DDL statements against a table?
I would like to safeguard the truncation and dropping of certain tables within the dbo schema. Wondering if I could do this with one fail swoop with CDC enabled on those tables. The other option would be to use a DDL trigger to prevent certain DDL statements to be performed.

I'm have a problem with trying to generate a view that has a count of duplicates values per column in a table.
example I have a table with the following structure:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TestDpln](
[CountryCode] [smallint] NOT NULL DEFAULT ((0)),
[NPA] [smallint] NOT NULL DEFAULT ((0)),
[NXX] [smallint] NOT NULL DEFAULT ((0)),
[XXXX] [smallint] NOT NULL DEFAULT ((0)),
[3-Digit] [nvarchar](3) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[4-Digit] [nvarchar](4) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[SiteIdx] [int] NULL DEFAULT ((0)),
CONSTRAINT [TestDpln$PrimaryKey] PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED
(
[CountryCode] ASC,
[NPA] ASC,
[NXX] ASC,
[XXXX] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
the data loaded looks like this
INSERT INTO dbo.TestDpln VALUES('1','312','555','1212','212','1212','1')
INSERT INTO dbo.TestDpln VALUES('1','312','555','1213','213','1213','1')
INSERT INTO dbo.TestDpln VALUES('1','525','555','2212','212','2212','2')
INSERT INTO dbo.TestDpln VALUES('1','525','555','2213','213','2213','2')
the results I need are
SiteIdx 3 Digit Count 4 Digit Count
------- ------------- -------------
1 2 0
2 2 0
I've tried various queries the closest being:
SELECT DISTINCT SiteIdx, COUNT(*) as "3-Digit Count"
FROM dbo.TestDpln
GROUP BY SiteIdx, "3-Digit"
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
but it only shows one column and one site I'm not sure how to get the '4 Digit Count' column to show up and the rest of the sites. below are the results I get so far.
SiteIdx 3 Digit Count
------- -------------
1 2
any help would be great.
Thanks

I am in process to develop TSql code to identify change in data.
I read about Binary_checksum and hashbyte. Some people say hashbyte is better than binay_checksum as chances of collision are less.
But if we may consider following, chances exist in hashbyte too. My question is what is the best way to compare data to identify change (I can't configure CDC) ?
select HASHBYTES('SHA','121'+'34'), HASHBYTES('SHA','12'+'134'),BINARY_CHECKSUM('121','34'),BINARY_CHECKSUM('12','134');
