How could I go about doing the following:
I have a column with lets say
AHA1
AHA2
AHA3
AHE1
AHE2
ARL1
ARL2
How could I make a column next to it that is basically the same but cuts off anything after the third letter? So this new column would look like:
AHA
AHA
AHA
AHE
AHE
ARL
ARL
Thanks!
Hello,
Im currently working with a DTS-package used for importing a Excelsheet into SQL-server.
I have a "Microsoft Excel 97-2000" as source and a "Microsoft OLE DB" as destination.
A "Transformation Data Task" is used to shuffle the data.
The package works ok as long as the path for the Excelsheet doesn't exceed 128 characters! Then it gets truncated at 128 characters and of course the data task can't find the file......
I can browse to my excelsheet, and when I look at the path it's ok. But when I close the package and then opens it again the path is truncated at 128 characters. Grrrr.
Is this a set limit in SQL Server or is it something I can mail the databaseadministrator about tomorrow?
Is there a limit on the number of characters that can be entered in a cell? If so, what is it?

Hi, all:I'd heard that the upper row limit in SQL of 6080 bytes may have beenincreased with SP3.Can anyone confirm/deny this? Is this still a 'carved-in-stone' uppercap?Thanks,DW.

I am not sure about the architecture of the Issue Tracker and hence not sure if it applies here. But I will post in any case and wait for users on this forums comments as well.
===========Earlier post==================
This question is regarding the architecture of TimeEntry.
In some programs it builds an arrayList for Master-detail type of relationship and when user is ready to save it by clicking 'submit' it build a variable with pipe delimited fields.
This is then passed to a sql query.
This to me does not seem to be an efficient manner. Because the max character is 1500 chars as parameter to SQL query.
I was wondering if instead I could store it as an XML and then use the XML to import in to SQL.
Any ideas is greatly appreciated, I am running in to problems where my variable construct does increase to more than 1500 chars. Any thoughts are much appreciated in this regards.

Hi,
I am working on building SSIS Packages which will need to extract records from OLTP Servers, and i am half way through building the package, i wanted to test if it is able to extract the records from a particular table on OLTP....basicall i want to test if the package built so far running good?....but the extraction part takes ages as there are millions of records in the OLTP ...i want to limit those records to say some thousands so that i can test it and work on cleaning part in the staging and later after all the chunks are working perfectly i want to set it completely to run for extracting all the millions of records.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
thanks

I have a query that exports data from an Oracle database to an Excel spreadsheet. The application that executes the query is Computer Associates Eureka Report writer. I do not have direct access to the database or any of its objects. With the data in Excel, I run a VBA macro-driven inventory report. The Excel spreadsheet row limitation is not a problem presently, however, the query exports a lot of extraneous data that I don't need. I actually export about a dozen columns of data however I'm only listing 4 in the example below.
Example:
CaseNum ActionDate ActionType ComplCd
1029901 09/08/2006 F 0
1029901 09/11/2006 C 0
1029901 08/18/2006 C 1
1029901 08/17/2006 F 1
1029901 08/01/2006 F 1
When the ComplCd = 1 I only want the query to export one row of data for each CaseNum. Is
there a way to code my query to accomplish this?

In my ASP page, when I select an option from the drop down list, it has to get the records from the database stored procedure. There are around 60,000 records to be fetched. It throws an exception when I select this option. I think the application times out due to the large number of records. Could some tell me how to limit the number of rows to be returned to avoid this problem. Thanks.

I have 1 table. In that table there are thousands of records. I have an ID that is autonumbered for a unique id.
What i need to do is at any given time select as many records from that table that have a certain Forein Key in it. Take all those records and copy them back into the same table but at that time i need to change some of the values including the Forien Key and the name.
Is there a bulk way to do this without having to loop? If so can you show me.
If not can someone show me the best way to get all the records and copy them back into its own talbe with a new Forien Key and Name.
Hi i am looking for some advice about sql databases and wondering if anybody can help me.
First the Background.
I am in the process of writing a payroll program that uses SQL as a data store. However rather then creating individual databases for each payroll that can be ran on the system i have created a core payroll table that generates a unique id for each payroll and then reference that thoughtout the system.
Now The Problem
The problem I now have is when I work out the final pay for the employees I want to make a quick copy of the various records just in case I need to undo the net pay calculations for adjustments to the data, it is effectively rolling back the transactions to the database but I want to be able to keep them till I decide that everything is correct.
I cant take a snapshot of the entrie database because the payrolls stored within may be in all sorts of states.
I need to keep the records for just the payroll I'm working on.
Any Ideas or Solutions !!!!!
Thanks

I have 2 tables.
TABLE 1: AttachmentTypeDefaults (fields: DefaultId (pk), AttachmentType)
TABLE 2: AttachmentType (fields: AttachmentTypeId (pk), CompanyId, AttachmentType)
The @CompanyId variable has to be the IDENTITY of a new record that was just INSERTed into another table just before (in this new SP.)
What I want to do is loop thru the AttachmentTypeDefaults table and INSERT every record into the AttachmentType table and use the @CompanyId for every new record. (AttachmentTypeId will create itself.)
How would I do this?
Sounds easy but I am new.
I would like it to be compatible with SQL Server 2000 also.
I tried a query like this, but I don't think I'm close...
declare @MyNewIdentity int
SET @MyNewIdentity = SCOPE_IDENTITY()
-- Now INSERT default attachments
INSERT INTO AttachmentType(CompanyId, AttachmentType)
VALUES(
SELECT @MyNewIdentity AS CompanyId, AttachmentType
FROM AttachmentTypeDefaults)

I have a table:
tbMD
ObjectID uniqueidentifier not null
Tag nvarchar(50) not null
Data nvarchar(400) not null
This table has 1.6Billion records and has filled up the drive (nearlly 1 TB in the DB, with about 600GB in this one table).
I need to move this table to another drive with ZERO down time.
I have created a new filegroup on a second drive array and created a new table (tbMD_TEMP) and my thought was to copy all the data from tbMD into tbMD_Temp then drop tbMD, and rename tbMD_Temp.
So, anyone have any great ideas on how to get this done very quickly?
Im trying to copy details from a specific header as details of a different header (eg. all sales items from invoice #10 copied as sales items of invoice #11).
So far I have two stored procedures:
1) sp_copyDetailsOne
/*Create a recordset of the desired items to be copied*/
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_copyDetailsOne @invoiceIdFrom INT, @outCrsr CURSOR VARYING OUTPUT AS
SELECT itemId, itemPrice, itemDescription, itemQuantity
FROM tblSalesItems
WHERE (invoiceId = @invoiceIdFrom)
OPEN @outCrsr
2) sp_copyDetailsTwo
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_copyDetailsTwo @invoiceIdFrom INT, @invoiceIdTo INT
/*Allocate a cursor variable*/
DECLARE @crsrVar CURSOR
/*Execute sp_copyDetailsOne to instantiate @crsrVar*/
EXEC sp_copyDetailsOne @invoiceIdFrom, @outCrsr = @crsrVar OUTPUT
/*Loop through the recordset and insert a new record using the new invoiceId*/
FETCH NEXT FROM @crsrVar
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
/*Run the insert here*/
INSERT INTO tblSalesItems
(invoiceId, itemId, itemPrice, itemDescription, itemQuantity)
VALUES (@invoiceIdTo , 5, $25.00, N'Black T-Shirt', 30)
/*Fetch next record from cursor*/
FETCH NEXT FROM @crsrVar
END
CLOSE @crsrVar
DEALLOCATE @crsrVar
My question comes on the Insert of sp_copyDetailsTwo, as you can see the values are hard coded and I want them pulled from the cursor. However I don't know how to do this - do I need varables or can I access the cursor values directly in my VALUES clause? Or is this whole approach needing overhauled. Any advice is welcome.
Thanks
In a job of migrating from an old database to a new one (with other structure, other server, other version) i'm copying from the source old tables and inserting into the new destination tables. The problem is that some records have inconsistencies (of any kind) and thus are not inserted due to foreign key, not null, etc validation. When a problem occurs none record is copied! and there is my question: How can i perform the copy in wich it copies the good records (without inconsistencies) and leave aside the bad records. I also want to know wich were not copied and better if in the copy process those were put in a temp table or exported to excel for further analisys o its data.
I'm using this model of "migration":
BEGIN TRY
INSERT INTO DESTINTATION_TABLE (
col_d1,
col_d2,
col-d3,
...)
SELECT
col_s1,
dbo.some_function(col_s2),
col_s3 * 100,
...
FROM SOURCE_TABLE join <other_table> ... where <some filters>
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
print ERROR_MESSAGE()
END CATCH
(for now, with try/catch I've only get to know the error occurred, if some)

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I already submitted this type of question before and i receive reply. But unfortunately i found out errors when performing on my system.
My problem regarding to this one:
Suppose i have two databases with same tables with different records and I would like to copy the records from one database to another data and vice-versa. So that both the tables contains same number of records inside the tables.
Example:
Database1 (EmployeeTable) contains 6 records.
Database2 (EmployeeTable) contains 10 records.
It should copy only those records which is not present in each other database. No duplicate records.
Before i was recommend to use Primary key, if it is not present use index.
Hope this time i could solve my problem.
Thanks.

I have been asked to give the users the ability to copy a set of records within the database. The current setup is
Master Table: JSA1
JSAID: (PK, int, not null)
JOBTITLE(nvarchar(200), null)
PlantNumber(int, not null)
Detail Table: tblSteps
STEPID (PK, int, not null)
JSAID (FK, int, not null)
StepNo (int, null)
BasicSteps (nvarchar(200), null)
DBPhoto(varbinary(max), null)
The plant number field is a location based field that the application uses to filter/select data on for the end users. What they want to be able to do is to select a record, select another location from a dropdown list and then click a button that duplicates the master record and the detail records to the new location.
I am thinking that a stored procedure passing the JSAID and new Location number to do it, I am just not sure how to get the new ID when I go to copy the detail records.
I am using a SQL Server Agent jobs that run each morning to update the records in a table to match what they should be for that day. I built them and tested it using a test table called "testtable1". It worked fine. But when I switched over to our production table, it fails saying the table has to be decaled. What would be the difference. The production table has a "@" in front of the name, is that causing issues?

Hi everybody,
I would like to know if there is any property in sql2000 database to separate lowercase characters from uppercase characters. I mean not to take the values €˜child€™ and €˜Child€™ as to be the same. We are transferring our ingres database into sqlserver. In ingres we have these values but we consider them as different values. Can we have it in sqlserver too?
