Hi,
I have a table which I want to alter to add the data from another
table.
Now both these tables have a few columns which are same. Now,
I want the system to be such that only the unique columns can be
added to the first table.
How can I accomplish this in SQL?
Hey everyone,
I'm getting a rather bizarre (but probably simple) error when trying to check for the existence of a procedure before creating it. I know I could just drop it, but I'm really curious as to why this code doesn't work right.
Code SnippetIF OBJECT_ID(N'dbo.spCoverageLog') IS NULL
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[spCoverageLog] ( @spName VARCHAR(100) )
AS
BEGIN
UPDATE dbo.CodeCoverage
SET CreationDate = GETDATE(),ProcedureName = @spName;
END
GO
It's generating a syntax error at PROCEDURE.
Anyone know why this might happen?
The solution was to run the CREATE PROCEDURE statement with EXEC, but it shouldn't be.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
I have a excel file which has a column called "Code" and their values are A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H. I want to create a new column called "status" based on the values of "Code".
Code:
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
If A,C,E,G then "status" = "Active" else if B,D,F,H then "Status" = "Inactive". I like to do it using "Derived Column".
Will this script check the existing values in a column or am i missing something?

FROM inserted
INNER JOIN TESTTABLE M ON
inserted.ID= M.ID
WHERE inserted.RECORD_Id >= inserted.RECORD_Id)
Everything seems hundreds, i now just need it to check the the existing values in the table

Is there a command I can use to tell me all the tables in my schema that have a column name "Id"?

I have a column that is unique that I would like to make into an IDENTITIY column after I insert some data into it.
I tried
alter table <table_name>
alter column <col_name> int Identity (1,1)
but it fails.

I simply need the ability using SQL to add columns in an existing table before (or after) columns that already exist.
The MS SQL implementation of ALTER TABLE doesn't seem to provide the before or after placement criteria I require. How is this done in MS SQL using SQL or is there a stored procedure I can use?
Thanks.
Hi(SQL Server 2000)I have an existing table (t) with a column that is NOT an identity column(t.ID), but it has manually inserted "row numbers". I want to make thiscolumn become an identity column. This column is a key field to othertables, so I want to keep the row numbers that are allready inserted.From the Query Analyzer, how do I do this?Thanks in advance!Regards,Gunnar VøyenliEDB-konsulent asNORWAY

if there a way or SQL statment that i can use Table Tname to see which one is missing column name K? and is there a way i can print out all the datatype and len for all the table column k? please help thanks
Ihave 2 tables...they are basically the same except for the column name in one of them because they deal with 2 different names, though..the data i want is in columns that have the same name.pretty much what i want to do...is .they also need to be distinct so i dont count duplicates...i can get them as separate tables...but i cant get them together..I need them in 1 column because of how it is sent to the C3 code page and how it reads it...the structure has already been previously set..and there are about 5 other statments that are being executed in this one stored procedure like this (also i wasnt the one who set this up).
image 1 is what is currently set up
imgur: the simple image sharer
top part is what is stored in tables..bottom is more of the result
it basically runs this code to get the bottom
DECLARE @id INT;
DECLARE @invest nvarchar(50);
SET @id = '7633';
SET @invest = '';
SELECT 'a' + CONVERT(nvarchar, orderfindings.risk_rating) AS cat, COUNT(DISTINCT orderfindings.prnt_id) AS stat
FROM orderheader, orderaudits, orderfindings
WHERE orderheader.id = orderaudits.orderheader_id AND orderaudits.ID = orderfindings.prnt_id
AND orderheader.id = @id AND orderfindings.risk_rating > 0 AND orderaudits.Investor_Name LIKE '%' + @invest + '%'
GROUP BY orderfindings.risk_rating
If i want agencies instead of findings..just replace it..agencies and findings are the 2 tables..they are the pretty much identical column wise...but i want the result together..i've tried several ways..but i cant seem to get it.
image 2 - the table at the bottom is more what i'm looking for..it combines them both into 1
imgur: the simple image sharer
if an order has a finding or agency or both in it..then it gets marked as a 1 for that risk rating...if it doesnt..then 0 for that risk rating..and then sum them all up to see what i got..
I've been working with it...did this [SQL] compare2 - Pastebin.com ..got it to display 2 columns..but still not the right result...i'm getting a1 = 1...a2 = 1...so its not running through all the orders...or it needs a way to count it...i put a sum at beginning of case statement..erro because of counts...so i took counts out...

existing table looks like this:
CommentID
ArticleID (FK)
commentAuthor
authorEmail

commentDate (getDate())
I would like to add a column that counts the number of total comments for each article.This will give me what I want using the VS query tool:
"SELECT COUNT(comment) AS Expr1 FROM UserComments WHERE (articleid = @articleid)"
But can I add that to the table somehow so it does it automagically???

I cannot figure out how to add a default constraint to an existing column. The syntax I'm using is :
ALTER TABLE table_name WITH NOCHECK
ADD CONSTRAINT column_name DEFAULT (0)
This gives me a syntax error.
The column was originally added with a default constraint of 1 to a 2.6 million row table.
I dropped the existing constraint and need to add the new default constraint of 0 for that column.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Hi,
How to Change Increment Value for existing Identity Column (MS SQL2000) ?
I know how to change the seed :
DBCC CHECKIDENT (activity, RESEED,4233596)
but I need the future id generated with step 2
4233596
4233598
4233600
I would like to do it using T-sql because I will need to do it every day after syncronising with another SQL server .
Thanks,

Sorry I'm pretty new to SQL so I don't know if this is a simple question. I have a table, and I am trying to add a column to the table and populate this column using what would be called an 'IF' function in Excel.
Basically 'column A' has numbers in it. I want SQL to look at 'column A' and if the first 5 digits of the number in 'column A' are 00001, then put 'description A' into new column 'column B'. If the first 5 digits of the number in 'column A' are 00002, then put 'description B' into 'column A' etc.
Any ideas?
Hi All,
Can any body tell me that how we can attach IDENTITY property to an existing int column
I want to add new primary key into existing table which already has a primary key. But,I do not want to remove the old primary key, since there are many records and the old primary key also have relationship with other table
When I am using this query:
alter table hem154
add indexNO uniqueidentifier default newid()
alter table hem154
add CONSTRAINT pk_hem154_indexNo PRIMARY KEY (PK_indexNO)
go
Note:
Hem154 ~ Table name
indexNo ~ Column Name
I get this runtime error:
Msg 1779, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Table 'hem154' already has a primary key defined on it.
Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
I must increase column (filed) size in existing datebase but without usingEnterprise manager....(Becouse we use MSDE on our clients PCs)The Filed is part of primary and foreign key constraints....And every constraint has diferent index number in each database...for example (PK_something_9e382hjl8), and I don't know how to pick thisvalue before "drop constraint" command.....Thank you very much....

I removed all constraints in order to load a bunch of data into a table, now I'm wondering if I can add an identity column to this table which does contain data or if I have to create a new table with the identity column and insert the data into that.

We have a requirement to add a not null column to an existing table.
I created the column with null and updated with single quotes, and then converted the column into not null.
Now, I can see in the publisher, it went fine. but in the subscribers, i'm getting the error as, can not insert null value. I then tried to make column as null to resolve the issue, but still it is holding the same error and not proceeding further.
Now I even dropped the column. still same issue. how can I resolve this issue? I'm using sql server 2008 R2 with SP3. replication type is Merge replication.

I am building a data warehouse. I have many columns I want to populate in a fact table using integration services. Sample fields are: companyID, companyName, companyNumberOfAccounts, company, NumberOfUsers.
In the integration services package, I would like to keep this fact table in place and populated with data and to build integration services packages that update each of the existing row's specific columns (e.g. companyNameOfAccounts) one by one. For example, I have a source of data that has companyID and companyNumberOfAccounts data.
Is it possible to use the SQL Server Destination or OLE DB Destination Integration Services elements to import companyID and companyNumberOfAccounts data so that existing records just have their companyNumberOfAccounts column updated?
I am working with a table in SQL server. I have a column that I want to designateas an identity column. I am not able to do this, because the field for "Identity Specification" is not editiable.
What I did was I went to sql server, right clicked and selected "Modify".The column properties dialog box/edit grid is then displayed with attributesthat I can modify.
There are two major nodes in this dialog box. One is named "General" and the otheris named "Table Designer". I expand the "Table Designer" node and then go to the node labeled "Identity Specification" It is here where I would like to edit thevalues.
The values that are listed for edit are listed below. BUT, the problem is thatI can place my cursor in those fields, but I am not able to change/edit them.Can anyone tell me what the problem is here? and how I can fix it?

I have a table which is already populated with data (Microsoft SQL 2008). I have now created a new column (int) which i want to populate with sequential numbers so that the new column created will serve let me know how many records exist in the table at a glance.
what SQL statement I need to write that will automatically polulate the newly created column with 1,2,,3,4,5 etc so that I can sort of number the records within the table.
I have 50000 records which I need to number and I really dont want to number the column manually via hand editing.
