View 6 Replies View RelatedChecking Existence (repeating) And Output Count??
Nov 14, 2007Hi All,
Not played with SQL for a while and am a bit rusty so please excuse me if I sound like a demented idiot! )
It's for a data migration from something wierd to SQL, I just need to be able to advise whether a table is worth migrating or someone should manually enter the data (i.e. if only six random fields are populated in a table then get a secretary to enter it).
I was hoping someone might have already done this and have a query I can edit?!
As far as I can make out the query needs to loop through every table, loop through every row, check each field for an existance of data and output something useful.
I've stared at this for about 3 hours now and tried several different things and none work.....and it's doing my nut! (
Help!!

As a result I only get 29 records. One record in the middle is missing. If I change to Topcount 31 I get 32 records, where the missing record is also included.
If I remove the Zero supression I receive 30 records as expected. For me the MDX looks good. I will try to reproduce on AW.

Append Query To Insert 80000 From One Table To Empty Table

Checking A Table To See If A Record Already Exists
Sep 19, 2007I've got two tables, one containing a list of company names(approx 10,000 records), the other containing a list of company employees (approx 30,000 records) joined by the CompanyID column.
I have a third table (approx 700 records) containing new employees to be added to the employee table. Each record in this table has the employees details plus the name of their company.
I want to write a query that will check each row in the third table to see if
a) the employee exists in the Employees table
b) the company exists in the Companies table and
c) the employee is listed under the correct company
The query should also handle any combination of the above. So if the company doesn't exist but the employee does, create the company on the companies table and update the appropriate record on the employees table with the new CompanyID etc. etc.
Oh, forgot to mention. The company names in the third table won't be exactly the same as the ones in the Company table so will need to use CharIndex.
Anybody got any ideas?
Checking Schema Of Source Table
Sep 23, 2007Greetings!!
I have a MsAccess db containing a table called Employees which i am transforming to Sql server 2005. Everything is working fine. I am using Foreach File enumerator and uploading the files one by one.
However I now plan to validate the schema of MsAccess before uploading it. For eg: My employee table in msaccess is as follows :
Employees
empId int,
empName varchar(60),
empAge int
Since the files come from different vendor, while looping, i want to perform a check if the empid or empAge are not of type long or are not null. If they are of type smallint,i have no problem.
However if they are larger datatypes than the the ones kept in Sql server, then the file needs to be logged in the db with the reason and moved to the error folder. In short, if the datatypes in access tables are smaller than those in Sqlserver, allow it, otherwise reject it.
THe schema of Sqlserver table is same as of that of Employees in msaccess.
How do I do it.
Thanks ,

Stored Procedure Checking The Values In Another Table
Mar 26, 2008I have two tables called A and B and C. Where A and C has the same schema
A contains the following columns and values-------------------------------------------PoId Podate Approved
2 2008-07-07 No 4 2007-05-05 No 5 2005-08-06 Yes 6 2006-07-07 Yes
Table B contains the following columns and values-------------------------------------------------TaskId TableName Fromdate Approved_Status
1 A 7/7/2007 No3 B 2/4/2006 Yes
Now i need to create a stored procedure that should accept the values (Yes/No) from the Approved_Status column in Table B and should look for the same values in the Approved column in Table A. If both values match then the corresponding rows in Table A should be archived in table C which has the same schema as that of Table A. That is the matching columns should get deleted from Table A and shoud be inserted into Table C.
Pls provide me with full stored procedure code.
It is very urgent.
Checking For Existence Of A Temp Table Before Droping It
Dec 31, 2003I'm familiar with how to check for the existence of a table before dropping it using the following command:
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[xxx]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[xxx]
How does one check for the existence of a temp table (using # syntax) before dropping it? I've tried various flavors of this command and none work. One flavor is
use tempdb
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[#xxx]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[#xxx]
CREATE TABLE #xxx (
NumID INTEGER IDENTITY(1,1),
Exhibitor_Id INTEGER NOT NULL,
Company_Id INTEGER NOT NULL
)
Thanks.

View 5 Replies View RelatedPoint Of Information - Checking For Existence Of A Table In Another Database...
Feb 22, 2005Hi all,
While cleaning up some code, I ran across the following statement in a stored proc - the purpose of which is to determine if a table exists in the local database: SELECT * FROM dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[XML_PRINTDATE]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1of course I removed it from the IF just for testing purposes, but my quandry is this...
Why chose that select (converting table name to object ID) rather than just doing THIS:SELECT * FROM dbo.sysobjects where name = N'XML_PRINTDATE' and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1
I first thought it was to gain access to the "id" column value (and that may yet be the purpose of it), but the second code seems to work just peachy (I assume because the id column is present in the sysobjects table itself).
A follow-on question is this:
When I try to do the same check from another server (i.e.SELECT * FROM APRECEIVE1.DailyProd.dbo.sysobjects where name = N'XML_PRINTDATE' and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1) it of course fails because OBJECTPROPERTY only looks for the id on the local database.
So, do I CARE if it is a user table? (I am reasonably sure it is, of course) and if so, is there a way to check on the remote server for the object type?
Bottom line is I Think I can just simplify things and check for the object name on the remote server, but just don't want to take away any "warm fuzzy feeling" generated by the original stored proc, if such a warm fuzzy is of any benefit (though don't get me started on the relativity of warm fuzzies, I wrote my Thesis on that ;) )
SQL Server 2012 :: Date Range Checking In Table
Mar 16, 2015I have a table with EmployeeID, StartDate, and EndDate with a PK of EmployeeID, StartDate. How can I check to see that there's no overlap for StartDate and EndDate for a given employee? That is, on any given day there must only be 1 row for an employee where Getdate() is Between StartDate and EndDate. For an active employee their EndDate is set to 06/06/2079.
I've tried it using Row_Number() with Over() but am returning too many rows indicating overlap when none exists.

Table Empty Of Content
Sep 10, 2001I have a particular production database that on a few recent occasions has suddenly had one of it's tables empty of content. Now there are no jobs or triggers in place neither is any stored procedures that could perform a delete or alter table operation in place. The permissions have been set not to allow this either. The datatype is text only. What is intriguing is the QA server has an exact mirror and this dosen't happen. Has anyone come across this sort of phenomenon?
View 2 Replies View RelatedDesign Table Is Empty.
Mar 1, 2000I can use the Design Table option in every database and any user table on my server except for two databases which were transfered from a SQL 6.0 server.
I can't even use Design Table to create a new table in these databases. I get the Design form up and it allows me to add columns, but when I try to save the changes I get the following error message:
ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'full'.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'full'.
One thing I have noticed is under Users for the database, all my users come up as 'via group membership' for the Database Access column for the database I am having problems with. All other databases the users come up as 'Permit' for the Database Access column. I assume this has to do with security. But I have tried everything to change this. I can not get a user to come up as 'Permit' under these two converted databases.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Sysperfinfo Table Empty
Jul 15, 2004I'm running SQL 2000 (SP3) on top of Windows NT 4.0 (SP6).
I have a couple of processes that look at the sysperfinfo table every day to collect some performance/metric type information. It works for all my other servers (mostly SQL 2K/Win2K) except for this one.
Why is the table on this one server empty?
I do have one other SQL 2K/Win NT server. The sysperfinfo table on that one is fine.
the only other clue/difference is that the server which has the empty table is a named instance install of SQL 2K.
Any hints?

Empty A Table Before Using DTS To Append Records?

In this way,since the table is not deleted and recreated, the primary key is keptintact.What would be the equivalent SQL method for doing this in an automatedway? I've tried letting DTS import the table from Access, but theprimary key is lost. Is there some way to "empty" a table instead ofdropping it, and then append new records so that the table will end uphaving the primary key I want it to have?Thanks.Larry- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -"Forget it, Jake.

View 4 Replies View RelatedCannot Insert Rows Into Empty Table
Mar 3, 2008When i try to insert new rows using SSIS into an emty table in my database, SSIS freezes. The same happens when i use a lookup on an empty table.
The only solution i have found is to manualy insert a row and remove it afterwards. When i have done this SSIS works without a glitch.
I start off by taking a script of a existing database and applying this script on a new database. So that i create an empty duplicate of my current database.
Any ideas why SSIS freezes? Do i have to initialize something first in my database? It is really annoying that i have to insert a row and delete a row into every table i want to use.
