Copying A Row From One Table To Another
Mar 18, 2005
Hi, I'm pretty new to SQL so am still learning the syntax etc.
I have 2 tables, one called Railways and another called Sheet1$ (an import from Excel).
In Railways, I have 5 Fields:
ID
First_Name
Last_Name
File
Full_Name
At the moment, all are populated with data (300 records) but Full_Name is showing values of <NULL>.
I want to populate Full_Name with the Data in Sheet1$ which has the field Full_Name (which is populated with the data I need)
What is the query I need to run to get SQL to copy the data from Sheet1$ (Full_Name) into Railways (Full_Name) - replacing all of the <NULL> values?
I've tried using the import wizard but without success.
Thanks in advance.

If on the source I have a new column, the script generated by SqlPackage.exe recreates the table on the background with moving the data into a temp storage. If the table is big, such approach can cause issues.
Example of the script is below: in the source project I added columns [MyColumn_LINE_1] and [MyColumn_LINE_5].
Is there any way I can make it generating an alter statement instead?
BEGIN TRANSACTION;
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE;
SET XACT_ABORT ON;
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tmp_ms_xx_MyTable] (
[MyColumn_TYPE_CODE] CHAR (3) NOT NULL,
[Code] ....
The same script is generated regardless the table having data or not, having a clustered or nonclustered PK.

i have 2 tables (both containing the same column names/datatypes), say table1 and table2.. table1 is the most recent, but some rows were deleted on accident.. table2 was a backup that has all the data we need, but some of it is old, so what i want to do is overwrrite the rows in table 2 that also exist in table 1 with the table 1 rows, but the rows in table 2 that do not exist in table one, leave those as is.. both tables have a primary key, user_id.
any ideas on how i could do this easily?
thanks

Hello,
Probabaly a silly question yet as a DOTNET developer, I'm trying to simulate DTS when for example, I don't have permission to perform DTS on a production server.
In particular and interested regards caching of rows before the service decides to flush the buffer and write to the target table. Safe to assume DTS is cursor based?

select * into dbo.ashutosh from attribute where 1=2
"USE WHERE 1=2 TO AVOID COPYING OF DATA"
//HERE "ASHUTOSH" IS THE NEW TABLE NAME AND "ATTRIBUTE" IS THE TABLE WHOSE REFERENCE IS USED//
//the logic is to use where clause with 1=2 which will never be true and hence it will not return any row//

I have "inherited" a project working on a SQL 2000 database. The project calculates commissions based on data from an invoice header table and an invoice details table. The goal is to extract data from the primary database tables, perform limited manipulations, and store the resultant data into a table in a different database for reference and reporting. I have the query complete that extracts and manipulates the data, but I am stuck in trying to add this data to the final storage/reporting table. I would also like to do error checking to be certain that a record is not "re-inserted" from the source data to the destination table. Thanks in advance, Barry

Hi,o
I found an option to copy a table without having to script the table, now I can't find it. Is there an option to do this? When I selected the option, it didn't work. Any ideas? Also how do you turn off trace and statistics?
thx,
Kat

Hi,Whats the best and easiest way to copy a table from one database to another via ASP.net?I want to copy from SQL Server to Oracle. I have an ODBC connection for Oracle.I was thinking I could use a DataSet, but wasn't sure of the details on doing this. Am I off base on this?What I have so far..1) I can get the data from SQL Server into a DataSet.2) I can establish a connection to Oracle via ODBC and the database has the appropriate table structure.How do I 'use' the SQL Server DataSet to copy the data to Oracle?Thanks,Scott

When I copy a table to another SQL server database, the IDENTITY and other constraints don't get copied. Is there any way to do it apart from running ALTER script separately. And, how do I Add IDENTITY(1,1) to an already existing table column.

Hello,
I need to perform a query on a table. With the results of the query, I want to copy those results into the same table that I ran the query on. The trick is, I need to update 3 of the values before I can re-insert the results back into the same table.
Does anyone know how I can do this?
Thank you,

We upgraded to SQL Server 2005 & I'm having trouble with the Import and Export Wizard in the Management Studio. We periodically need to export some data to a different database to save it while we update the 'real' database which basically starts it over with empty tables. Under SQL Server 2000 that wasn't a problem. Under 2005 it is.
The database comes from a vendor and nearly every table in it has a timestamp column & when I try to import/export the rows I get a Validation Error: Error 0xc0202048: Data Flow Task: Attempting insertion into the row version column "timestamp". Cannot insert into a row version column.
Now I can write a query that omits the timestamp column & the import/export works perfectly-but a couple of the tables have over a hundred fields! (Oh, what I'd give for an 'except' analog to the * selection.)
Any suggestion how to get around this? Thanks.

Hi. I would like to copy some records within the same table. what happens is we get very similar new cases in our office and we want to apply the same information from one client to the new client.
i looked at:
INSERT INTO ClientSpecs (ClientID, Spec1, Spec2, etc.)
SELECT Spec1, Spec2 from ClientSpecs WHERE ClientID=1234
but i want to use the new client id in place of the old client id. is there a way to do this? does this make sense? we're basically copying one client's file to a new client's file, except we need to use the new client's id.

Hi,
I have a DB on a SQL server version SQL 2000. I have copied over one table onto a different server into a newly created DB. This DB is on SQL 2005.
The tables are identical in structure.
Now I need to copy over the differential from the Source table on the SQL 2000 server into the table on the destination server which is SQL 2005 on a daily basis.
What is the best way of doing this? It is just 1 table, I do not need the entire DB.
This table does hold a lot of records and on a daily basis there will be roughly 20,000 that need to be copied over. One of the main reasons for the differential only is that these 2 servers are physically located on different continents so the connection speed is not that great.
The table in the Source holds about 36 million records already (which I copied over to get the initial start).
Any ideas, help, suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Michiel

There are several easy ways to accomplish what I am trying to do in a simpler way however (long story short) this is something I need to learn for a much larger task in the near future.
O.K. I have a table named clients I'm trying to get started copying columns from the same table one by one. Lets say original table has these columns:
Database kokomain -- table dbo.clients
ID(pk) fname lname idate
I've created a blank temp table with the exact same schema and named it 'temp'. I've populated the id,fname and lname fields with the statement:
Insert Into kokomain.dbo.temp (cid,fname,lname) select c.cid,c.fname,c.lname from kokomain.dbo.clients c
Now, how could I add the idate field to the table as a separate query? I've tried several variations of things like...
INSERT INTO kokomain.dbo.temp (idate) select c.idate from kokomain.dbo.clients c where c.idate in (select idate from kokomain.dbo.temp)
No dice.
The correct statement would be greatly appreciated
Thanks.

Before I start asking for favours I think it only polite that I introduce myself. My name is Doug I'm a EC&I engineer from the UK.
I'm developing a recipe managment system with SQL Server 2005 at the database system. I have a table which contains recipe parameters for an industrial process. I would like to generate a stored procedure which will copy either all or just some of the fields from one record in a recipe table to another record in the same table while retaining the unique recipe id. For example,
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_CopyRecipes
@RecipeNumberCopyFrom int
@RecipeNumberCopyTo int
AS
SELECT Param1,Param2,Param3 FROM tblRecipe
WHERE
RecipeID = @RecipeNumberCopyFrom
(And Copy to)
SELECT Param1,Param2,Param3 FROM tblRecipe
WHERE
RecipeID = @RecipeNumberCopyTo
there are 45 recipe paramters. There is a requirement to copy all paramters or just a selection. I written a procedure in the VB.NET front end which works well, but I'd prefer it to be done on the DB server. Thanks in advance
Hope I can contribute in the future

I'm kind of new to SQL and would appreciate some help with this. I have a table named Company. In this table there are fields called CompanyID, CompanyName, Address, and Year. (There are other fields too, but they are not relevant for this post.) There are multiple companies in the table and each company has a unique ID number. However, each company can have up to three records in the table. (One for the year 2005, one for the year 2006, and one for the year 2007.) Currently, only a company's 2007 record has data for the address. It's 2005 and 2006 records have addresses that are blank. I want to be able to update the 2005 and 2006 records with address from the 2007 record. Obviously, a very simple update won't work because there are multiple companies and multiple records that need updating. Can anyone fill me in on the SQL statement(s) I would need to make this happen? I would be extremely appreciative.

Hello to all,
this is my first post on this forum, and I hope you'll be able to solve my problem. I'm working in industrial field and only from time to time I have to work with SQL. My problem is the following:
I have two tables. Both tables have same number of rows but different number of columns. Table 1 has 5, and table2 has three columns.
I need SQL statement to copy two columns A and B from table 1 to table 2 with condition, for example table2.C <> 2?
I don't know if I was clear enough. Basically I need to copy data from two columns of one table to other. Tables have no common data which I can use to join tables.
I tried something like this:
update table2 set (A,B)=(select A,B from table 1) where table2.c <>2
but don't know how to use syntax properly...
Thanks in advance
