Change Value Of Column Mimetype In Table Data
Aug 23, 2013
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?

How to modify/change data that is in a SQL table column. Here is what I need or have
I have 2 tables, Table 1 and Table 2, within those 2 tables there is 1 Column that has the same column heading aswell as data within,(I will call it the serial_number column) there is also a 2nd column that is labeled the Same in both tables, I would like to be able to update the Values in the 2nd column of table 1 with the values from table 2 column 3, using the Serial_number column as my matching reference between the 2, the data is not in the same order between the 2 Tables,
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...

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 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] ....

I have some data that was entered in the DB in ALL CAPS. I would like to reformat all the rows so that it follows the normal "Capitalization". What is the best way to do this? Shoud I create a console application to accomplish this or is there some way to do it natively in sql server 2005.

I know we could change the data type or width of a table column in SQl 7 database, but I am not certain if this column is a primary key. Can we change a primary key column width? If we can, how about this column as a foreign key in another table? Will it be automatically updated to the same width? Thanks in advance for your input.

How do I programatically change a column (say username) in a table (say tblusers) from varchar(25) to varchar(100)I am looking for something likealter tblusers set username as varchar(100) I know the above statement in nonsensical but it conveys the idea.

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.

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.

Hi,
I have a SP which returns a select query on a temp table so I get to choose column names
when I create the #table.
Can I determine column names myself based on the results of another query (in the SP)
before, or (preferably) after I create the #table and populate it.
My query is used to bind to a datagrid so I could use....
dataGrid.Columns[index].HeaderText and set it to a particular output parameter, but I want
to keep the code in the SQL.
Cheers

Say you have an existing populated SQL 2005 database, with 700+ tables, and you want to just change the order of the columns inside every table. Short of manually building conversion scripts, anyone know an automated way to do this? I was thinking thru ways to do them all in one shot, and have tools like Erwin and DbGhost that could be used also. Basically moving some standard audit columns from the end of the tables to just after the PK columns.
Thanks, Bruce

For our ETL process, we maintain a TransformationList table that has the source view and the destination table. Data is copied from the view into the table (INSERT INTO). I am trying to find column names in the Views that are not column names in the associated Table.
In the below example, want to end up with three records:
1, View1, Column4
2, View2, Column4
2, View2, Column5
I have it almost working, except that there is a table, ChangeColPrefix table, that is used by the ETL process to change some of the view's column name prefixes. Some of the source views have column names with prefixes that do not match the destination table column names. Say view SouthBase has all the column names prefixed with SB - like SBAcct, SBName. And the Destination table of Area District has ADAcct, ADName. There would be a row in the ChangeColPrefix for SouthBase, SB, AD, 1, 2 that would be used by the ETL process to create the INSERT INTO Area District From SouthBase.
I need to use this ChangeColPreifx to find my unmatching columns between my source views and destination tables. With out that table SBAcct and SBName from SouthBase will not appear to match the columns of ADAcct and ADName, but they do match.
I want to end up with these three records as non-matching:
View1, Column4
View2, Column4
View2, Column5
View1 has Salumn2 and View2 has Salumn5, and they must be changed to Column2 and Column5 as per the ChangeColPrefix table before running the Select from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS EXCEPT Select from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS looking for unmatched columns.
/***** Set Up Test Data *****/
-- Create 2 test views
IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM sys.views WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[View1]'))
DROP VIEW dbo.[View1]
GO
CREATE VIEW View1
AS SELECT '1' AS Column1 , '2' AS Salumn2 , '4' AS Column4;
[Code] ....

Hi all, I am not over familiar with SQL, I am a VB programmer, simply I need to achieve the following within Enterprise Manager.
I have 2 tables, different designs, different number of rows, I simply need to check whether the contents of a column in the first table is in a column in the second table, just simply a table/column to table/column data check for the same data content.
Easy Peasy for you guys, any help would be appreciated.

I have 5 tables that are joined respectively,
Each one of the tables listed below has a “CreateDateTime” and “UpdateDateTime” fields, I need to get yesterday changes, I can get any record where either CreateDateTime or UpdateDateTime is greater than midnight yesterday butI need to watch dates on all of the tables so I need to do atleast 10 date checks.
If any table shows an updated or created record, I need to gather ALL of the information for that customer. So, if my name didn’t change (SCUS table), but my email does (SEML table), I have to pull out both the SCUS and SEML tables (and the others, of course). So It may not be simple WHERE clause, How can I achieve this:
SELECT
SCUS.CUSFULLNAME
,
SCUS.CUSMIDDLENM
,
SCUS.CUSLASTNM ,

Or can it record before and after column changes based on the LSN only?
An extract from a file based legacy accounting system is performed every night. The system does not have a primary key because transactions are managed through program code. (the more things change...). The extract is copied to text in Unix and FTP'd to Windows, where the file is loaded into SQL Server by kill & fill. Because of the expense of modifying the source system, there is enormous inertia/resistance to injecting a primary key at the source, so kill & fill it stays.
In reading about Change Data Capture, it seemed to me that column level insert update and delete are stored in tables that remember the before and after content of each column tracked. In my reading I have seen many references to the LSN to decide when and what to record as changed, but I have not seen any refereference to the necessity of a primary key for Change Data Capture to work. This is in contrast to replication, where the requirement for the existence of a primary key is made plain.
Is it possible to use Change Data Capture against a table without a primary key? How to use it to change the extract from kill and fill to incremental.

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 a requirement of table partitioning. we have 10 years of data on a table which is 30 billion up rows on 2005 server we are upgrading it to 2014. we have to keep 7 years of data. there is no keys on table or date column. since its a huge amount of data and many users its slow down the process speed. we are thinking to do partition on 7 years for Quarterly based. but as i said there is no date column on table we have to use reference table to get date. is there a way i can do the partitioning with out adding date column on table? also does partition will make query faster?
I have think three ways to do it.
1. leave as it is.
2. 7 years partition on one server
3. 3 years partition on server1 and 4 years partition on server2 (for 4 years is snapshot better?)

I am studying indexes and keys. I have a table that has a fixed width of data to be loaded in the first column which is parsed in a view based on data types within the fixed width specifications.
Example column A:
(name phone house cost of house,zipcodecountystatecountry)
-a view will later split this large varchar string based
column b: is the source filename of the data load (varchar 256)
....
a. would there be a benefit of adding a clustered or nonclustered index (if so which/point in direction on why)
b. is there benefit of making one of these two columns a primary key (millions of records) or for adding a 3rd new column as a pk?
c. view: this parses the data in column a so it ends up looking more like "name phone house cost of house zipcode county state country" each having their own column.
-any pros/cons of adding indexes (if so which) to the view instead of the tables or both for once the data is parsed?
