Checking Specific Columns Were NULL On Previous Insert (Using If EXISTS)
Aug 3, 2007
Thanks for your time:
Background: After Insert Trigger runs a sproc that inserts values into another table IF items on the form were
populated. THose all work great, but last scenario wont work: Creating a row insert based on Checking that all 22 other items from the prior insert (values of i.columns) were NULL:
IF EXISTS(select DISTINCT i.notes, i.M_Prior, i.M_Worksheet, ...
from inserted i
WHERE i.notes IS NOT NULL AND i.M_Prior = NULL AND i.M_Worksheet = NULL AND...)
BEGIN
Insert into dbo.Items2Fix ...
From inserted i
END

I am checking to see if the source record is available in the target table using a lookup transformation and if not found i have to insert this record.
I have connected the error flow of the lookup transformation to the target. I am acheiving expected results, but is this the best practise? I have not connected to the green arrow to any task.

I've decided to post this as a sticky given the frequency this question is asked.
For those of you wishing to build a package that determines if a source row exists in the destination and if so update it else insert it, this link is for you.

Thanks Jamie!

Data from as400 imports into SQL with blank fields which is the way as400 outputs records. How can you insert previous record of data null or blank field. ex:
ONETWO
a1
2
3
b1
2
3
Would want:
ONETWO
a1
a2
a3
b1
b2
b3

I am trying to do a BULK insert using BCP and a XML format file.
I have a file with 32 columns, and a table with 34 columns that i want to bulk insert
i have read here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179250.aspx
to try and do the bulk insert. but it doesn't seem to insert the data into the correct columns.
here is the SQL to create the table.

I am not sure why it is trying to insert into the Last_Update Column, which is the only smalldatetime field in the table. but in the format file, i do not have any data going into that column.
it looks like everything is set correctly in the format file
in the SQL Server Library Link, section "Using an XML Format File" 2nd example, it looks to be the same thing as I am?
not sure what I am doing wrong?

I am using Microsoft SQL 2005, I need to do a BULK INSERT from a .csv I just downloaded from paypal. I can't edit some of the columns that are given in the report. I am trying to load specific columns from the file.
bulk insert Orders
FROM 'C:Users*******DesktopDownloadURL123.csv'
WITH
(
FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
FIRSTROW = 2,
ROWTERMINATOR = ''
)
So where would I state what column names (from row #1 on the .csv file) would be used into what specific column in the table.
I saw this on one of the sites which seemed to guide me towards the answer, but I failed.. here you go, it might help you:
FORMATFILE [ = 'format_file_path' ]
Specifies the full path of a format file. A format file describes the data file that contains stored responses created using the bcp utility on the same table or view. The format file should be used in cases in which:
The data file contains greater or fewer columns than the table or view.
The columns are in a different order.
The column delimiters vary.
There are other changes in the data format. Format files are usually created by using the bcp utility and modified with a text editor as needed. For more information, see bcp Utility.

I know there is a way to determine if a file exists using T-SQL, but I can't seem to find a way to determine if a directory exists. I need to be able to determine this so I can delete the directory if it already exists before I run other queries.

Greetings all.
How can I check for file exitence in a specified folder using TSQL?
I can think of a couple of ways to do this so any feedback would be appreciated.
Load the contents of a folder in to a temporay table and check the table for file name. I can do this with something like:
insert into myFiles
exec master..xp_cmdshell 'dir /B /OND filePath*.txt'
Or maybe use OLE Automation Sproc? But I am not sure which method I should use.
Please advise.

I would like to be able to check if a certain entry exists in a SQL table. Ideally, the output would be a boolean so I can use it in an IF statement which would tell it what to do depending on whether or not the entry exists. Thanks for anyone that helps. :)

I'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?

I'm trying to check which price grids are in use using the price grid_id, and seeing whether this grid_id exists in another query that checks all active contracts. If the grid_id is present (active) I want to return 'Yes', if not I want it to return 'No'.
There are 385 price grids, but my query is only returning the 315 that are active, and ignoring any that are not used. My code is below, how I can see all the records whether Yes or No:
Select distinct
pg.grid_id [Price Grid],
pg.grid_name [Grid Name],
case when exists
(Select
c.grid_id from
customers c
inner join deltickhdr dh on dh.acct = c.custnum and dh.stage <5
where
c.type = 'C' and
dh.dticket is not null) then 'Yes' else 'No' end [Active]
From gridhdr pg inner join customers c on c.grid_id = pg.grid_id
Order by pg.grid_id

Hi I have an SSIS package that retrieves table data from a database using an OLE DB source component.
This then passes the rows of data to a script destination component.
Within this script my code takes the row data and inserts it into the database (amongst other things).
However I have noticed that if any of the Row columns contain nulls then the component falls over with errors when run like so:
[Back Up Prize Banks [2875]] Error: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Parameterized Query '(@PASId int,@ScriptName nvarchar(17),@LastModified datetime,@Pri' expects parameter @RegenerateXML, which was not supplied. at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ScriptComponentHost.HandleUserException(Exception e) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ScriptComponentHost.ProcessInput(Int32 inputID, PipelineBuffer buffer) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ManagedComponentHost.HostProcessInput(IDTSManagedComponentWrapper90 wrapper, Int32 inputID, IDTSBuffer90 pDTSBuffer, IntPtr bufferWirePacket)
I have solved the problem by checking the column contents before inserting it as follows:
Before:
Command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@RegenerateXML", Row.RegenerateXML)
After:
If (Row.RegenerateXML_IsNull()) Then
Command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@RegenerateXML",System.DBNull.Value)
Else
Command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@RegenerateXML", Row.RegenerateXML)
End If
Which is great but it does turn 1 line into 5 lines. I have 20 parameters which takes up 20 lines of code which will now be 20 x 5 = 100 lines of code.
My question is :
Is there a better way to write this code without having to take up so many lines?
Thanks
Matt.

I'm trying to put scripts to create our stored procedures under version control.
However I don't want these scripts to be run if the stored procedure already exists (we'll be using update scripts to alter existing stored procedure I think).
Anyway I tried :
Code:
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
/****** Object: Stored Procedure dbo.getEnglandHotelsByATOPResort Script Date: 26/10/2005 10:40:01 ******/
if NOT EXISTS (SELECT object_id('procedureName','p'))
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[procedureName]
@location char(2)
AS
...Procedure...
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
I know that the if NOT EXISTS ... part works as doing the following returns the expected result :
Code:
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT object_id('procedureName','p'))
SELECT 'FALSE'
ELSE
SELECT 'TRUE'
However when trying to do this before the CREATE PROCEDURE I get :
Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 4
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'PROCEDURE'.
Server: Msg 137, Level 15, State 1, Line 12
Must declare the variable '@location'.
Any ideas how to do this?

I have a table called as Events and below are its columns
ID int
EventFromDate datetime
EventToDate datetime
EventDesc nvarchar
IsHoliday bit
This is a master table where the admin would enter the Events/Holidays for the entire year.
The data would be as below:
IDEventFromdateEventTodateEventDesc isHoliday
126-01-201526-01-2015RepublicdayYes
230-01-201531-01-2015TeamOutingNo
301-05-201501-05-2015Labour day Yes
Now, suppose a employee applies leave on 26/01/2015 to 26/01/2015 then it should not insert into table and return a value "Not updated"
How to handle the scenario if a employee applies leave between the range 23/01/2015 to 27/01/2015, since 26/01/2015 is a holiday in between. how the data can still be inserted excluding 26/01/2015
Can we exclude a non-working day or a sunday.
Leavedetails table to insert leaves applied by employee is as follows
LeaveDetailID int
LeaveTypeId int
FromDate datetime
EndDate datetime
Remarks nvarchar

I have 1+ CSV files (using a foreach loop) which I'm doing a lot of transform work on and then inserting into a SQL database table.
Each CSV file usually contains about 2 days worth of data (contains date stamps) - somewhere in the region of 60k records per day.
The destination table currently contains 3 million+ rows and will get bigger.
I need to make sure that before inserting into the destination table, the data doesn't already exist.
I've read the following article: http://www.sqlis.com/311.aspx
While the lookup method works, it takes ages and eats up memory as it caches the 3m+ records before running for each CSV. Obviously this will only get worse as the table grows in size.
To make things a little more efficient what I'd like to do, is first derive the dates I'm dealing with in the current file - essentially storing the max(date) and min(date) in variables. Then in the lookup SQL use those vars, to reduce the amount of data that needs to be brought into the transformation to check against before inserting into the destination table.
Lookup SQL eg. SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE Date BETWEEN varMinDate AND varMaxDate.
Ideally I'd use an aggregate transformation and then use the subsequent output from that either in the lookup query or store the output in vars, but I don't think you can do that and I get the feeling I'm approaching this with the wrong mindset.
Any thoughts would be great!

Hello,
is there a way to find out that SQL Server 2005 (Express) engine is performing startup checked of a selected database?
The problem we are faced to is that our users shutdown brutally their laptops running their database. When they start laptops again, they impatiently start the application that tries to connect to the database. However, they get an error message:
Cannot open database XXXXX requested by the login. The login failed.
When they try after a minute or two, it works.
What we would like to do is provide an information message that the SQL server is checking the database and that they must wait for a while. Is there is a specific error code for this, can anyone help? We are using .NET 2.0.
Thank you,
Jan

I have standard SQL query for clients, but sometimes a client does not have a specific table.
How do I deal with that? (creating the table is not an option)
SELECT
A.Col1
,A.Col2
,B.Col3
--> Col 50
FROM
TableA A Join
TableB B ON A.ColA = B.ColA
Suppose in some cases TabelB does not exist. How do I make sure the rest of the query runs okay and does not result in an error?

I have a table that has for each shop a value that can change over time.For example
BK_POS 1 --> Segment A
BK_POS 1 --> Segment /
What I would like to achieve is to get all distinct Shops (BK_POS) from the table above, but if for that specific pos a row exists where the segment = "/" then I do not want to take this BK_POS in my select query.More concrete, the for example above I do not want to select BK_POS 1 because he has one row where the segment = "/".

Hi Everyone,
I have a query
select name, address, city from table1
I want to append address +'-' + city in this query . I want to show hyphen only if both address and city are not null. If name is null then I don't want to show hyphen. How can I get around this problem.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Vinki

Hi All,
I would like an example of checking for NULL within an expression. I don't know the correct syntax. Checking for IsNull is incorrect so is IS Null. Can anyone help me?

What would be an equivalent expression for ISNULL(datafield, 0) for a table/matrix cell? I am using iif( Len().. to find out if there is something in the cell, and displaying zero in the cell if the length of cell item is 0, however am wondering if there is any better/elegant way of doing that?

There was a similar question to mine a few time ago about conditional execution, but I'm having some problems with it to which I couldn't find any answer, could anyone help?
My condition is checking if a DateTime from a DB table is null. I use the Execute SQL Task to retrieve the record (SELECT TOP 1 * FROM myTable WHERE conditions = TRUE), then I map 2 fields to their respective global variables.
Then I created the green arrow connector and used a precedence expression based on sucess. I used the expression IsNull(@variable). For some reason, even if the @variable comes as null - I checked the info in the DB - it still comes out as '1999-11-30'
I've looked around and the IsNull method can be used to also change the value in the event of it being null, could it be changing my variables value to this even if I didn't pass that value as a parameter to the function? If so, how else can I test it for null? I've tried "== null", "= null" and even ".equals(null)" - which I know is absurd, but I'm running out of options here...
Could you enlighten me, please???
Thanks in advance!

For every table in my database there is a duplicate table with same columns. For example, employee is the name of main table, there is employee_dup table in same database.
There is only one column extra in _dup tables i.e.,idn column.
Now, I want to know all the columns present in main table which are not present in corresponding _dup table. There might be a chance of missing one or two columns in _dup tables. So i want a query to find out all the columns present in main table that are not present in hx table.
