Copy Selected Column Data From Table To Another During Upgrade Of App
Sep 15, 2004
Hi,
I need to write a script that will be called during the database upgrade of my application. This is part of reorg of the tables. The script has to get data for say 4 columns from table A and insert it into another table B. Table B has identity insert column and remaining 4 columns matching the ones to be copied. The data is dependent on user database, hence number of records needs to be copied might be different. Also the columns can have null values.
I tried using bcp Command as follows..
bcp "select colA,colB,colC,colD from A" queryout "c: empA.dat" -t" " -r"
" -c
I'm able to get the dat file, but not the format file. Can anyone tell me how to get it using query file with -c option. Also if there is better option to copy data, kindly let me know.
I have a table called 'Articles' whose columns are articleId (int), authorName (varchar) and article (binary). The primary key is articleId. I tried using DTS wizard available in Enterprise Manager 2000, to import the data from this table into a remote database table, but the data copy failed. I am thinking the binary column is causing the DTS data copy to fail. If someone could tell me what else I could do to transfer binary data to remote database(like an example of a data transfer query), then that would help me greatly.
Hi, All, I have agentID in product table. Now I add agentID column in transaction table. Now I want to copy all agentID from product table to transaction table based on the order_id in both table. Can you show me an example? Thanks Betty
We run std 2008 r2. I haven't looked at my friend's function closely yet bur he showed me that when he selects from the function with one column and the same where clause he uses on same func with select *, he gets no data under the column he requested.
But when he selects * he gets a single row.
I took a peek and see a bunch of left joins followed by a bunch of outer applies in his func. I suppose (thinking out load) if anything random like the order of rows returned or sql decisions on how query runs can affect his function, that might explain it.
I want to check a table to see what rows have been updated today, then write to a text file some data from the selected rows; then I want to automate this (DTS package? TSQL stored procedure job?) to run every night at midnight. Is the DTS Wizard the best way, that's what I did, but have not confirmed that it is writing a new text file every day, and does each new version write over the old one?
Hi,I have an Excel file with 400 rows of old values and the correspondingnew values. My table currently has 10 columns out of which 3 columnsuse the old value specified in the excel file. I need to update thoseold values in the columns with the new values from the Excel file.Please guide me as to how to proceed with this.Thanks in advance!
Hi, I have two users tables. One users table has a deleted column. The other users table is made up of users based on what dept they are in etc. I would like to get the values from a column (deleted) in the first table and copy the values over to a column in the second table. I would appreciate any suggestions you might have. Regards, Tony.
I have run the select query which returned one row. There is one column in it which has got large amount of data. I want to copy the complete content of that column(varchar(max)), but I am unable to do it. It's not the xml data. I don't want to do any conversions.
I thought I saw this done once before. So today I hunted around inBooks OnLine and did a Google search. So far I have found nothingclose. So if you know how to do it, please tell me or if cannot bedone, I'd appreciate know that too.Thanks in advance,IanO

I need to move data from a large table (350GB/395,000 rows) to another table within the DB, but onto another disk. The table has an image data type so I have to create a new table onto the new disk. My original table looks like this:
USE [PD51_Data] GO /****** Object: Table [dbo].[SCANNEDDOCUMENTS] Script Date: 05/27/2008 11:26:36 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO SET ANSI_PADDING ON GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[SCANNEDDOCUMENTS]( [DocID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [CaseID] [int] NOT NULL, [DocName] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL, [Doc] [image] NOT NULL, [DocLocation] [varchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL, [DocNotes] [text] COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL, [TopicID] [int] NULL, [ScannedDocumentsCheckSum] [varchar](128) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [DocID] ASC )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY] ) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]

My new table looks like this: USE [PD51_Data] GO /****** Object: Table [dbo].[SCANNEDDOCUMENTS2] Script Date: 05/27/2008 11:27:23 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO SET ANSI_PADDING ON GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[SCANNEDDOCUMENTS2]( [DocID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [CaseID] [int] NOT NULL, [DocName] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL, [Doc] [image] NOT NULL, [DocLocation] [varchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL, [DocNotes] [text] COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL, [TopicID] [int] NULL, [ScannedDocumentsCheckSum] [varchar](128) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ) ON [SECONDARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [SECONDARY]
GO SET ANSI_PADDING OFF
My plan was to use import/export wizard to move the data over to the new table, while set to Bulk Log recovery, drop the original table, then create the indexes/constraints on the new one. With this much data, I'm wondering what else I should do. Anyone have a better idea? What am I missing?
There are some data in a table with TypeID=23 and I need copy all rows with TypeID=23 to the same table, I mean append at the end, and make the copied rows TypeId=24 for some tests purpose.
Write a query that will grab bin# from table A and if its missing on table B copy it. I tried and update query but it doesn't work and also a select Into and failed too.
I want to move or copy a row of data from one table to another, but not sure how to go about it! I have SQL 2000, and using Enterprise Mangager with SQL query to run the script. This will be used in a procedure once I get the Query to work.
Hi All I have two tables one is old and another new table. I need to copy the data from old to new table. using stored procedure. How can I do the same. Please help me.
I have a table that I need to move all data to a secondary data file. I have to copy all data from the table to another table to make this work since I have an image data type. My initial table is set up like this:
USE [PD51_Data] GO /****** Object: Table [dbo].[SCANNEDDOCUMENTS] Script Date: 05/27/2008 11:26:36 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO SET ANSI_PADDING ON GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[SCANNEDDOCUMENTS]( [DocID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [CaseID] [int] NOT NULL, [DocName] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL, [Doc] [image] NOT NULL, [DocLocation] [varchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL, [DocNotes] [text] COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL, [TopicID] [int] NULL, [ScannedDocumentsCheckSum] [varchar](128) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [DocID] ASC )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY] ) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]
GO SET ANSI_PADDING OFF GO ALTER TABLE [dbo].[SCANNEDDOCUMENTS] WITH NOCHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [ISCANNEDDOCUMENTS2] FOREIGN KEY([TopicID]) REFERENCES [dbo].[TOPICS] ([TopicID]) GO ALTER TABLE [dbo].[SCANNEDDOCUMENTS] CHECK CONSTRAINT [ISCANNEDDOCUMENTS2]
My new Table is set up like this: USE [PD51_Data] GO /****** Object: Table [dbo].[SCANNEDDOCUMENTS2] Script Date: 05/27/2008 11:27:23 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO SET ANSI_PADDING ON GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[SCANNEDDOCUMENTS2]( [DocID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [CaseID] [int] NOT NULL, [DocName] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL, [Doc] [image] NOT NULL, [DocLocation] [varchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL, [DocNotes] [text] COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL, [TopicID] [int] NULL, [ScannedDocumentsCheckSum] [varchar](128) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ) ON [SECONDARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [SECONDARY]
GO SET ANSI_PADDING OFF My plan is, once I move or copy the data to the new table, I will then drop the original table, rename new table to the original, create the indexes and FKs. What do you think would be the best way to move the data to the new table?
On the OLE DB Destination, I used fast load option with table lock checked, and check constraints to copy data to table_destination. Both table_source and table_destination have the same table definitions. After the dtsx package ran, the number of rows copy over to the destination is not same. I got different results from different runs. This only happens when the source table is over 1 million rows and when I'm copying from the transaction database where user's activities are heavy.
Any ideas how I can modify the package so it can copy correct data? Thanks!
We have SQL Enterprise Manager (8.0). Is there any way to Copy a Table from one database to another with only the Structure (design) - not all the Data? I can't find any option in the Import Data Wizard that only copies the Table structure. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Let's say, I have Table1 and Table2, both with the exactly samestructure and data in it, except that Table1.Field1 is empty in databut Table2.Field1 have data in it.How could I copy all the data from Table2.Field1 to Table1.Field1?Is there any simpler way except looping through all the records to doit?
Doing the standard processing, taking source data in a staging database, where I then create the new target tables, transform the source data into the new target table structure, and load the data.
However, having created the new target tables in my staging database, I cannot accurately migrate these tables into the new database.
An example table.
The following is the script created by SQL Management Studio if I right click and script the table as CREATE. CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tbPRO_Package]( [PRO_PackageID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [CreatedDate] [datetime] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbPRO_Package_CreatedDate] DEFAULT (getdate()), [CreatedBy] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbPRO_Package_CreatedBy] DEFAULT (suser_sname()), [ModifiedDate] [datetime] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbPRO_Package_ModifiedDate] DEFAULT (getdate()), [ModifiedBy] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbPRO_Package_ModifiedBy] DEFAULT (suser_sname()), [GUID] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbPRO_Package_GUID] DEFAULT (newid()), CONSTRAINT [PK_tbPackage_ID] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [PRO_PackageID] ASC)WITH (IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]) ON [PRIMARY]
Note that the field PRO_PackageID has an identity, and is a primary key.
Also note the constraints on several fields and the default values.
If I try to move this table and data using the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard, telling it to drop and create the table, and to keep identity, it does not correctly generate the table defintion - it generates the following script
CREATE TABLE [Migration Staging].[dbo].[tbPRO_Package] ([PRO_PackageID] int NOT NULL,[PackageCode] varchar(8) NOT NULL,[LKU_VatRateCode] nchar(10),[CancellationCharge] decimal(18,2),[CancellationMultiplier] decimal(18,2),[CreatedDate] datetime NOT NULL,[CreatedBy] varchar(50) NOT NULL,[ModifiedDate] datetime NOT NULL,[ModifiedBy] varchar(50) NOT NULL,[GUID] uniqueidentifier NOT NULL)
We've lost the identity, the PK,the constraints and the defaults.
If I use the SSIS Transfer SQL Server Objects Task, then the primary key is kept, but the identity is not, nor are the constraints or defaults.
Am I missing something? Is it actually POSSIBLE to accurately move tables between databases?
I have different versions of essentially the same database on two different computers. From Computer B I need to copy one table AND its data to Computer A.
I've read several articles and have tried several things but can't figure out how to do it. Incidentally, I'm running SQL Server Express 2005 on both machines.
Hi, I was wondering if you can help. In my vb.net form I am running a query to insert data from one database table to another. However what I need to do is to be able is to add the id of a record I have just created to this insert into sql command. I have managed to use @@ identity to get the id of my first sql insert statement but I am wondering how I can use it in the second insert into and select statement. At the moment my sql statement just copies exactly what is in the select statement. I can't figure out how to add the @@identity value to my second sql statement. My second sql statement is a follows: sql2 = "INSERT INTO ProjectDeliveData(ProjId,ProjDeliveId,RoleId,MeasurementId,ProjDeliveValue, ProjDeliveComments,ProjDeliveYear,FinDataTypeId, FinFileId, ProjDeliveMonthFrom, ResourceId,ProjDeliveDateAdded)" & " select ProjId,ProjDeliveId,RoleId,MeasurementId,ProjDeliveValue, ProjDeliveComments,ProjDeliveYear,FinDataTypeId, FinFileId, ProjDeliveMonthFrom, ResourceId,ProjDeliveDateAdded from ProjectDeliveData where FinFileId=" & strActualFileId I hope you can help Cheers Mark :)
