Combine Tables From 2 SQL Servers With Different Schemas And Update As New Data Is Entered
Mar 28, 2008
I have 2 SQL server 2000 machines, I need to take a table from each one and combine them together based on a date time stamp. The first machine has a database that records information based on an event it is given a timestamp the value of variable is stored and a few other fields are stored in Table A. The second machine Table B has test data entered in a lab scenario. This is a manufacturing facility so the Table A data is recorded by means of a third party software. Whenever a sample is taken in the plant the event for Table A is triggered and recorded in the table. The test data may be entered on that sample in Table B several hours later the lab technician records the time that the sample was taken in Table B but it is not exact to match with the timestamp in Table A. I need to combine each of these tables into a new SQL server 2005 database on a new machine. After combining the tables which I am assuming I can based on a query that looks at the timestamp on both Tables A & B and match the rows up based on the closest timestamp. I need to continuously update these tables with the new data as it comes in. I havent worked with SQL for a couple of years and have looked at several ways to complete this task but havent had much luck. I have researched linked servers, SSIS, etc Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi there; i've recently designed a new db for my portal website, and wanna move the old data from former db to the new one. The problem is that for the 'News' table, for instance i have two different schemas:Old >>News(id,title,summery,text,date, ... , (old columns) , ...)New >> News(id, title , summery , text , date, lastUpdated, ... , (new columns) , ...) i want to copy the bolded columns, and want to have 'lastUpdated' & 'date' in the new table to be the same as 'date' in the former one.as i googled, i just found materials on copying dbs to production servers, or cross db scenarios. thanks in advance
I have 2 tables. first table contains name and age and the second table contains class and roll num. I have a 3rd table which contains all these 4 columns. Now I want to fill the 3rd table with the 1st and 2nd table's data.
I have a query currently that looks like this . @Month and @Year are supplied as parameters
SELECT -- select the sum for each year/month combination using a correlated subquery (each result from the main query causes another data retrieval operation to be run) (SELECT SUM(SalesofProductA) FROM #ABC WHERE [Year]=T.[Year] AND [Month]=T.[Month]) AS [Sum_SalesofProductA]
[Code] ...
Right now I see an output like this : for a particular value of @Month and @Year
SalesofProductA, SalesofProductB, SalesofProductC What I would like to see is :
My form has an optional field for date entry. If user did not enter anything then how can I still maintain null value in the table in an update operation? Thanks for advice.
I'm entering a Selection record for a partiuclar lotID, Once entered, I need to obtain its SelectionID then use it to update a another field within that record. Here's what I've been doing... --insert values into a testchangeorders table INSERT INTO testchangeorders VALUES (2,3,3,3,1,'red',0,5) --Find the SelectionsID of the last record created for that partiuclar LotID SELECT MAX (SelectionsID) FROM testchangeorders WHERE LotID = 2 --Once located, I was trying to update a field called uniqueID with a contantination of '3-' & the record's SelectionsID UPDATE testchangeorders SET UniqueID = ('3-' & SelectionID WHERE SelectionsID = SELECT MAX (SelectionsID) AND LotID = 2)
When i run above script, it prompt me an error message; "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server The requested operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "IBMDA400" for linked server "TESTDB2" does not support the required transaction interface."
If i run it without "begintrans" and "committrans", it update the data successfully.
I have user that we just migrated his Access database to SQLServer. All went well with the migration, but then he came up withanother requirement to be able to replicate the database to a localSQL server living on the hard drive of a laptop. Before the migrationhe just copied the entire Access databse to the lap top.I tried using the Copy SQL Server Objects Task to move thenecessary tables from the production server to the laptop, but noticedit doesn't copy over the table Indexes/keys identiy fields etc. Iended up backing up the production database and restoring it to thelaptop database, but wondered if there is any way to move the tables,with their properties from one server to another? I know I can setup the backup process to run as scheduled, but the problem is the dataneeds to be moved on an irregular time table. I thought about justwriting code on the remaining Access front end to empty the localtables and then query the data from the production side to reloadthem, but I'm sure there's an easier way.Any suggestions would be appreciated.Thanks,Tom
I have a database schema that has an Address table used to store addresses for different entities such as Customers and Employees. I want to reuse the same Address record between different Customers and Employees without duplicating any address information. I'm not sure what the best approach might be.
Should have I have seperate stored procedures on the Address table that update and insert new addresses, where each Address record remains immutable once created? (So the update stored procedure actually creates a new Address record if the data changes). These stored procedures would then be invoked by business logic and used in tandem with stored procedures that act on Customers and Employees to ensure that no address records are duplicated.
Or should I create a view on a Customer joined with Address, and similarily with Employee and Address, and have stored procedures that act on these views and ensure that no Address records are duplicated. Should I use instead of triggers to override the behavior of insert and update on the view to achieve these?
I'm rather lost as to what direction I should take. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
can anyone tell me if they know of a way to automate the update process from development servers to live server, with little interference from an administrator
I have a development team that are constantly updating their databases along with their ASP code, and want to publish changes an a weekly basis. They have asked me for a way to take their new structures, tables, procedures etc, and copy them to the live servers, but NOT to interfere with existing customer data.
Funny I know � and I hate the idea btw :(
Any references, contacts, 3rd party tool recommendations welcome,
Hai ,I created a table with primary key clustered. I have entered the datathru E.Manager . If a close the table and open it again , Ii shows therows with the (default) ascending order. Is, there any way to get therows in the user entered order(neither asc or dec order)With ThanksRaghu
I have a table where the designer allowed time reporting for 8 different types of activity on each timecard, then stored the hours by activity in 8 separate columns in the database. Example:
Table A. Column Headers: Employee|Date|Phase1Hours|Phase2Hours, etc... Data: Fred Jones| 7/15/13 |3|3, etc...
The problem is there is no way based on this structure to get an employee's hours for the day in columnar form.
To get this data into columnar form I have used Select queries with Union All, for instance:
SELECT Employee, Date, Phase1 FROM Table A UNION ALL SELECT Employee, Date, Phase2 FROM Table A ,etc.....
Query is running slow (I am guessing it is because the same table is repeatedly being accessed).
I have a procedure that allows a user to enter two dates to run a query. I would like to display those dates on the generated report underneath the title. "5-01-07 to 5-31-07" How would I do this?
I'm having a problem with some data in our database, basically a web app is storing data into the DB and then recalling it to display to a user. The problem I am having is that for one particular function the DB is causing the app to fail, the app code works for 95% of the data inserted into the DB by the users but it is failing on a few records.. I'v gone through the data manually checking for funny characters or spaces or anything else which is different from the other records, but everything seems to be in order. I doubt very much that this is a system app code problem as the code is working perfectly for all the other records...
Can anyone advise me on what else I can check.. really stuck on this one guys
I need to be able to prevent an invalid character from being entered into a sql 2000 databae on import from oracle.
In short, I need to exclude a certain character from being entered and need to be able to send an email which specifies that an attempt was made to enter this character, if the change was due to an insert or an update, the row to be affected in the target database, date and time info. Also the source of the data.
If this is not possible, is it viable to remove the character after insert and still send the email withe the required info?
Any one any ideas on the cleanest way to achieve this?
'The value you entered is not consistent with the data type or length of the column'

Hi guys! Is there a way to combine these update statements? Dim update_phase As New SqlCommand("INSERT INTO TE_shounin_zangyou (syain_No,date_kyou,time_kyou) SELECT syain_No,date_kyou,time_kyou FROM TE_zangyou WHERE [syain_No] = @syain_No", cnn) Dim update_phase2 As New SqlCommand(" UPDATE TE_shounin_zangyou SET " & " phase=2, phase_states2=06,syounin2_sysd=CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),GETDATE(),101) WHERE [syain_No] = @syain_No", cnn)
The same table is updated so I think it would be better to have just one update statement. But the problem is that, the first update statement retrieves values from another table, whereas the update values of the second statement is fixed. Is there a way to combine these two statements. I tried to do so but it does not update. Here's my code... Dim update_phase As New SqlCommand("UPDATE TE_shounin_zangyou SET TE_shounin_zangyou.syain_No=TE_zangyou.syain_No, TE_shounin_zangyou.date_kyou=TE_zangyou.date_kyou, TE_shounin_zangyou.time_kyou=TE_zangyou.time_kyou FROM TE_zangyou WHERE TE_zangyou.syain_No = TE_shounin_zangyou.syain_No", cnn) Please help me. Thanks.
I am trying to write a SQL statement query, that will calculate the SUM value in one table for a March period, and update that value to another table, here is what I have so far, but the compile error says Operation must use an updatable query.
UPDATE League_Totals SET League_Totals.March_Total = (SELECT SUM(Result_Value) FROM Result_Details WHERE LEAP_Date = "March_2014");
Hi,I want to know the optimal solution, to find if all the data was entered. Lets say, Table A (date field) and for a given month, i need that all the days in the given month are present in the Table A. Right now i have different solutions, 1) a stored procedure which loops through all the days in the given month against a select statement on Table A2) a stored procedure, create a temp table which contains all the dates in the given month, and a single select statement using where condition (select * from.... where datefield not in (select * from...))I want to know what is the best solution of these two or any other solution.Thanks
I have two tables in MS SQL 2000 that I need to combine into one. they will share 3 columns and the rest will stay the same. the existing tables are very large and I REALLY don't want to plug in all the data by hand...Any nifty tricks??? I found software but dont want to spend $$ on it.
Here is my dilemma, i'm trying to combine the results of two different tables. Both tables are very similar but the data returned must be sorted before they are combined because I'm only returning the top xx records based on a hits column.
I have tried the following union query which combines the two RS's then sorts the data: SELECT Top 2 ID, Song, Hits FROM Table1 UNION SELECT Top 2 ID, Song, Hits from Table2 Which would return the first two records from each then sort them like this: 2 - tb1SONG 2 - 1459 1 - tb2SONG 1 - 412 1 - tb1SONG 1 - 356 2 - tb2SONG 2 - 85
I would like to sort based on the hits column then combine the RS producing this: 3 - tb2SONG 3 - 2035 2 - tb1SONG 2 - 1459 4 - tb1SONG 4 - 965 5 - tb2SONG 5 - 745
Any ideas or solutions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Im trying to combine 2 unrelated tables to create a new table with all the data. Both tables have the same number of rows. if i have 2 tables with 1 column each and 5 rows in each column, eg.
tb1 c1: 1 2 3 4 5
tb2 c2: a b c d e
if i run the query
SELECT tb1.[c1], tb2.[c2] INTO tb3 FROM tb1, tb2
i get tb3: c1: c2: 1 a 1 b 1 c 1 d 1 e 2 a 2 b 2 c ........
I'm wanting to migrate an existing customer's database into a new products db. The previous contractor used seperate tables for each product type, where I chose to use one "products" table.
My challenge has been that the previous db uses attributes that aren't common across all products. Would it be best to do a products_attribute table? If so, how would I query the previous products db and seperate the information during an insert between "product A" and "product A attributes"?
I am new to SQL Server development, but I use the automated features in Enterprise Manager a lot.
I have a table with a specific format already existing in a SQL Server 2000 database. This is generated once a day from a flat file received from an outside vendor. I am now receiving a similar flat file from another vendor which is nearly identical, but with two differences.
First, the new flat file is missing two columns (not critical data).
Next, there is one column that is out of order in comparison to the other flat file (aside from the 2 missing columns).
I need a generic example of how to remove specific records from a table and add these new ones (from the new flat file) through the SQL Server. My intention is to have a job run at a specific time through the SQL Server.
Any help is appreciated. If you know of a good tutorial or something out there, I would be more than happy to check it out. Thank you so much for your help!
If i have to get the statuses from four different tables but want to get first table disabled , second table active and also have statuses field from the 3rd and 4th table how would i do that?
ALM, PV, AD, ACE
select * from all tbls where alm.id = pv.id and alm status = 'disabled' and pv status = 'active'
I want to include the status field from 3rd and 4th table.
How to write a sql to combine the 4 tables into one without repetitive records? The 4 tables have exactly the same fields.
The tables do not have primary key. The fields to identiry the rows is name and dob. In the case the name and dob is same for two records, the one with latest date_created is selected.
