Hi,
I have three columns and want to update the third column based on the comparison of first two columns in the same table.
For instance:
Col1 - val1, val2, val3, val4, val5......
Col2 - NULL, NULL, val1, NULL, val2....
Col3 - TRUE, TRUE, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE....
Thanks for any help.
Hey ya'll...
I need to create a query that I can run that will allow me to essentially take the first initial and last name and combine them from two columns in one table and update one column with that new data in another table. Example of need:
UPDATE tblLogin.UserName with (first character(tblEmployee.FName)+(tblEmployee.LName)) WHERE tblLogin.EmployeeID = tblEmployee.EmployeeID.
That was TOTALLY pseudo code and I know I'll need a join statement in there somewhere. Both tables reside on the same database, such as this:
dbEMPLOYEE (Database)--> tblLogin (Table)----> UserName (Column)--> tblEmployee (Table)----> FName (Column)----> LName (Column)
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Hopefully something soon - this was handed to me a few minutes ago and I have a few minutes to get it done.iSheahan
I have a simple question that is more about performance on my code for updating a column with the sum of two columns:
Example
Table = dbo.adding
c1 c2 c3Sum
1 2
3 5
4 6
Now if I just simple write
Update dbo.adding
set c3SUM = c1 + c2
This works, but there is a null in c1 or c2 then I know I can write this:
if exists (select * from dbo.adding where c1 is NULL)
Update dbo.adding
set c1 = '0', c3SUM = '0' + c2 where c1 is NULL
if exists (select * from dbo.adding where c2 is NULL)
Update dbo.adding
set c2 = '0', equals = c1 + '0' where c2 is NULL
Update dbo.adding
set c3SUM = c1 + c2
This works as well, but I am not sure how perficient it is being that from my understanding the code will evaluate the table three times and update it based on the criteria. If the table consists of 100,000 rows then this might not be a good solution
Is there a more proficient way to do this... I personally try to as little coding as possible to help increase performance. I know I can make this very complex and declare variables and put everything in a loop, but I personally think that would be less profient..
I've got a table with 6 fields :
EmployeeAccess
(MasterID, LoginID, AccessID, Storage1, Storage2, Storage3)
that needs to be updated using the data in the following spreadsheet
NewEmployeeAccessData
(ID, MasterID, AccessID1, LoginID1)
There is a 1:1 relationship between the two tables..I'm trying to code a pair of update statements on the EmployeeAccess table (1 for LoginID, 1 for AccessID) with the following logic:
If LoginID is NULL, then Update LoginID with new LoginID1 value,
If LoginID is not null, and Storage1 is NULL then Update Storage1 with New LoginID1 values
If LoginID is not null, and Storage1 is not NULL and Storage2 is NULL then Update Storage2 with New LoginID1 values
etc etc...
The same applies when trying to populate the AccessID column
If AccessID is NULL, then Update AccessID with new AccessID1 value,
If AccessID is not null, and Storage1 is NULL then Update Storage1 with New AccessID1 values
If AccessID is not null, and Storage1 is not NULL and Storage2 is NULL then Update Storage2 with New AccessID1 values
etc etc.
I have no control over the schema of this table so I'm trying to work the logic on how to update the columns in my table only if the corresponding column data is NULL, else update the next non NULL Storage column.
I have a table #vert where I have value column. This data needs to be updated into two channel columns in #hori table based on channel number in #vert table.
CREATE TABLE #Vert (FILTER VARCHAR(3), CHANNEL TINYINT, VALUE TINYINT)
INSERT #Vert Values('ABC', 1, 22),('ABC', 2, 32),('BBC', 1, 12),('BBC', 2, 23),('CAB', 1, 33),('CAB', 2, 44) -- COMBINATION OF FILTER AND CHANNEL IS UNIQUE
CREATE TABLE #Hori (FILTER VARCHAR(3), CHANNEL1 TINYINT, CHANNEL2 TINYINT)
INSERT #Hori Values ('ABC', NULL, NULL),('BBC', NULL, NULL),('CAB', NULL, NULL) -- FILTER IS UNIQUE IN #HORI TABLE
One way to achieve this is to write two update statements. After update, the output you see is my desired output
UPDATE H
SET CHANNEL1= VALUE
FROM #Hori H JOIN #Vert V ON V.FILTER=H.FILTER
WHERE V.CHANNEL=1 -- updates only channel1
UPDATE H
SET CHANNEL2= VALUE
FROM #Hori H JOIN #Vert V ON V.FILTER=H.FILTER
WHERE V.CHANNEL=2 -- updates only channel2
SELECT * FROM #Hori -- this is desired output
my channels number grows in #vert table like 1,2,3,4...and so Channel3, Channel4....so on in #hori table. So I cannot keep writing too many update statements. One other way is to pivot #vert table and do single update into #hori table.
I want to compare two columns in the same table called start date and end date for one clientId.if clientId is having continuous refenceid and sartdate and enddate of reference that I don't need any caseopendate but if clientID has new reference id and it's start date is not continuous to its previous reference id then I need to set that start date as caseopendate.
I have table containing 5 columns.
caseid

I am trying to compare columns in two tables with a wildcard character.
One table: Other Table:
----------------------
ID Col1 | ID Col2

1 1 1 1A
1 1B
2 2 2 2A
3 3 3 3A
4 5 4 5A

4 5C
5 7
6 27
7 50 7 50A

I want to writing something like:
SELECT Table1.ID, Table1.Col1, Table2.ID, Table2.Col2
From Table1, Table2
WHERE (Table1.ID = Table2.ID) AND (Table2.Col2 LIKE Table1.Col1%)
which obviously does not work.
basically "column2 Text%" so if ID = 1, Col1 = 1 => will have the following comparisons turn out true:
1A LIKE '1*'
1B LIKE '1*'
How can I do a comparison like this?
I have requirement like this

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have one database with several tables in it (table 1, table2, table3). In each table is two colums (colum1 = a number (201220) and colum2 = a number (0.50). Now, both tables will have rows with the same data in colum 1, but colum two will have different numbers (different prices). My goal is to run a query that will compare both colums in all three tables, take the lower of the three based on colum 2 and spit out the row. Obviously, this would output all rows (around 175k). The point is to create a least cost spreadsheet (csv) file based on evaluating all three tables.

Below is a query that I have written to obtain some information. The problem arises when we have a patient who goes from Patient Type '1' to Patient Type '2'.

I have two table with the same name that reside in different databases. The two database have the same name, but reside in two linked servers
TABLE A: [ServerA].[ProdDB].dbo.[Orders]
TABLE B: [ServerB].[ProdDB].dbo.[Orders]
How do i find out if the two tables have the same number of columns or if the a column that exists on TableA does not exist on TableB.
Does any one have a script that could help me with this task. Thanks
I am using SQL Server 2005
Hi Guys.
I have a problem. I have two feilds in a table. Both of them are (int). I want to be able make sure the same number is not put in both columns for each row. Both colums have to be a different number, and also if one is null, the other cannot be. How do I go about enforcing this policy?
For Example:
This is what I want
ID Column1 Column2
--- -------- ---------
1 5 8
2 5 7
3 null 10
4 6 2
This is what I DO NOT want:
ID Column1 Column2
--- -------- ---------
1 5 5
2 5 5
3 7 7
4 null null
I created a unique constraint between the 2 columns, but it still allows dups within the row. Please help me.
How would I compare 2 rows to find the difference in the columns?
Example:
ID Column1 Column2 Column3
1 Text1 Text4
2 Text1 Text2 Text3
Result:
Column1: Text2 New
Column3: Text4 Old Text3 New
I need to compare columns in tables on 1 database on one server versus the same on a 2nd server.
I'm looking for added columns in dbase 1.
Is there a system T-SQL script that can be used for this?
Is there a efficient way to compare two different columns of 2 different rows in a data set as shown below.
For eg: I would like to DateDiff between Date2 of RowID 1 and Date1 of RowID 2 of IDNo 123. After this comparision , if datediff between two dates are <=14 then i want to update 1 else 0 in IsDateDiffLess14 of RowID1 . In below example its 0 because datediff of two dates >=14. So, want to compare the Date2 and Date1 in this sequence for the same IDNo. For RowID 6 there is only 1 row and no other row to compare, in this case IsDateDiffLess14 should be updated with 0.
RowID IDNo Date1 Date2 IsDateDiffLess14
1 123 04/10/2013 04/12/2013 0
2 123 05/10/2013 05/11/2013 1
3 123 05/21/2013 05/25/2013 0
4 112 01/10/2013 01/14/2013 1
5 112 01/27/2013 01/28/2013 0
6 120 03/10/2013 03/12/2013 0
What I need to be able to find is any records where the Discontinue_Date is greater than the Effective_Date on the next row for a given Customer ID and Part_ID. This is a customer pricing table so the Discontinue_Date of row 53 for example should never be greater than the Effective_Date of row 54130, these are the records I'm looking to find. So I'm looking for a SELECT query that would look for any records where this is true. Obviously the last Discontinue_Date row for a Customer_ID will not have a next row so I wouldn't want to return that.

what is the best way of comparing image/varbinary and nullable column in sql server?

I need to determine if a value for a group of rows is the same or different and I am not sure where to begin. I am fairly new to writing T-Sql code. I am working with SQL Server 2005. This is a work assignment; I am not a student.
I have two tables: One for Course and another for CourseDays. As the Course table implies, it lists courses for a school. The CourseDays tables has a row for each day a course is held. For instance, one course maybe held on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, so there would be three rows, one row for each day. A given course could be held in a different room for each day. I am trying to write a query that returns one row for each course, and if the room number is the same for each day the class is held, return that room number in the row, else return 'Various'.
Course table:
CourseID, Desc
1 English
2 History
3 Science
CourseDays table:
CourseID, Day, RoomID
1 M 320
1 W 445
1 F 680
2 T 123
2 Th 123
3 M 514
