I know this is no problem for anyone who has ever done a bit of programming in SQL, but for me it is a problem because I'm rather new in SQL. My question is: how to copy column in the same table in query? I need move one column to another and then to delete the first column (but not the whole column, just one part so I can't use Copy - Paste in Enterprise Manager). I know how to select the part that I want, all I need now is to copy columns.
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...
I am working with a SQL database that was migrated from MS Access and adapted for full-text search which involved creating a new table with a different design. I would like to copy three columns (YearGiven, MonthGiven, DayGiven) from the Documents table to the newly-created FullDocuments table so that I can delete the Documents table and four other tables with redundant data. Here are the two tables involved in the column copy:
FullDocuments Table FullDocID (Primary Key) DocNo SequenceNo SectionText YearGiven (empty €“ no data) MonthGiven (empty €“ no data) DayGiven (empty €“ no data)
After the copy column procedure I want the FullDocuments table structure to look like this:
FullDocuments Table FullDocID (Primary Key) DocNo SequenceNo SectionText YearGiven (full of transferred data) MonthGiven (full of transferred data) DayGiven (full of transferred data)
The problem is that the FullDocuments table contains approximately 4x as many rows as the Documents table. This is because each document has four types €“ the primary Text document and three supplemental documents (Background, Report, and Index). Whereas the Documents table has one row for each Document, the Full Documents table has four rows per document (the four document types). Instead of simply doing a copy and paste of columns based on a primary key and foreign key relationship (as described in the MSDN online books), I need to copy and paste based on the DocNo and SequenceNo columns. Thus the same date data (Year, Month, Day) will need to occupy four consecutive rows for each document in the FullDocuments table (as is now the case with the DocNo and SequenceNo).
I will end up with one table that meets the requirements for the full-text search (primary key and all the text to be searched) and eliminate five tables (Documents and the four document type text tables). This is a static database consisting of historical records so I am not concerned about input errors that can be associated with denormalization.
I tried exporting the data using the Export Wizard using the €śCopy data from one or more tables€? option. The transfer failed. The most relevant lines of the Error Report are:
·Error 0xc0202009: Data Flow Task: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available.

(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
·Error 0xc0047021: Data Flow Task: Thread "WorkThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0202009. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard) I then tried the €śWrite a query to specify the data to transfer€? option focusing on just the YearGiven column using various FETCH, INSERT AND UPDATE commands without any luck. Questions:
1. Is the query approach the best way to achieve my objective, or did I miss something in the €śCopy data€? option in the Export Wizard?
2. If the query approach is the best way, any suggestions on what the query will look like?
I have an encrypted column of data that is encrypted by a passphrase. The passphrase was encrypted by a symetric key in a key pair. The passphrase also is stored in a table. I can get the passphrase as needed to encrypt/decrypt the columns. I copied the production database to a new database for development. Subsequently I had to create a new symmetric/asymmetic key pair and recreated my passphrase with the new key pair. Now the passphrase will decrypt a text column but it will not decrypt two other columns which are of type varchar in the database. Here is an example:
SELECT DISTINCT contactid, uissueid, createdby, created_dt ,CONVERT(varchar(max),DecryptByPassPhrase(@pss, CONVERT(varchar(max),dbo.tbl_msg_app_legislativeinquiry.title), 1, CONVERT(varbinary, 23))) as title ,CONVERT(varchar(max),DecryptByPassPhrase(@pss, CONVERT(varchar(max),dbo.tbl_msg_app_legislativeinquiry.description), 1, CONVERT(varbinary, 23))) as description ,CONVERT(varchar(max),DecryptByPassPhrase(@pss, CONVERT(varchar(max),dbo.tbl_msg_app_legislativeinquiry.shortdesc), 1, CONVERT(varbinary, 23))) as shortdesc, closed_dt, confidential, statusid, due_dt, deleted_dt,deletedbyid, highrisk, dbo.tbl_msg_app_legislativeinquiry.designator, dbo.tbl_ref_sys_status.description AS statusdesc FROM dbo.tbl_msg_app_legislativeinquiry INNER JOIN dbo.tbl_ref_sys_status ON statusid = dbo.tbl_ref_sys_status.ustatusid INNER JOIN dbo.tbl_gbl_lkp_security ON uissueid = dbo.tbl_gbl_lkp_security.msgid AND dbo.tbl_msg_app_legislativeinquiry.designator = dbo.tbl_gbl_lkp_security.designator
Like I said I can execute the uspPassPhraseGet stored procedure and I get my passphrase. It will correctly decrypt the dbo.tbl_msg_app_legislativeinquiry.description field which is great but the other two fields will not decrypt. When i copied the database over the encrypted fields do not display the same on the new database. The old database shows a box character followed by a bunch of junk (as expected). The new copied table on the new database shows only a single box (not the same as the original). Is there a known bug with copying a table with varchar fields that are encrypted to a new database? I tried to run a test and got the same result. I also tried to convert the varchar columns to text to see if that solved the problem and it didn't. The description field however is a text type column and it reads exactly as the original. The problem I think is that the Copy Database didn't actually copy my data correctly. How can I get the original encrypted data from the production into my development. I also tried just dropping the table and reimporting the table but that didnt take either. Scratching my head on this one.
Hi, I wanted to know a query in sql that would copy a whole table from one database to another database with both the structure and the content. strangely, my college professor don't know the same. I tried looking in the help menu in sql but it didn't helping me much. Help me out...!! I have a deadline to meet. I really would appreciate it. thanxs. --vijay.
I have a rather complex query (to me at least) that I need to create but I am unsure of where to start. The query requires me to copy existing data into a new row (which will then create a new ID) as well as update all existing records with the newly created id. More specifically, I need to separate the data associated with LocationID 219 from it's parent, CompanyID 992.
Ideally I want to copy the data associated with LocationId 219 and then make a new CompanyId with the copied data (which will also create a new LocationID). Since this new record is no longer going to be associated with CompanyID 992 I will want to remove/delete/drop it from that record.
Finally, and perhaps most difficult of all, I need to update all tables that reference the old ID's together (992 / 219) to reflect the newly created Company ID and Location ID.
I am working on a Statistical Reporting system where:
Data Repository: SQL Server 2005 Business Logic Tier: Views, User Defined Functions, Stored Procedures Data Access Tier: Stored Procedures Presentation Tier: Reporting ServicesThe end user will be able to slice & dice the data for the report by
different organizational hierarchies different number of layers within a hierarchy select a organization or select All of the organizations with the organizational hierarchy combinations of selection criteria, where this selection criteria is independent of each other, and also differeBelow is an example of 2 Organizational Hierarchies: Hierarchy 1
Country -> Work Group -> Project Team (Project Team within Work Group within Country) Hierarchy 2
Client -> Contract -> Project (Project within Contract within Client)Based on 2 different Hierarchies from above - here are a couple of use cases:
Country = "USA", Work Group = "Network Infrastructure", Project Team = all teams Country = "USA", Work Group = all work groups
How to implement the data interface (Stored Procs) to the Reports Implement the business logic to handle the different hierarchies & different number of levelsI did get help earlier in this forum for how to handle a parameter having a specific value or NULL value (to select "all") (WorkGroup = @argWorkGroup OR @argWorkGrop is NULL)
Any Ideas? Should I be doing this in SQL Statements or should I be looking to use Analysis Services.
For each customer, I want to add all of their telephone numbers to a different column. That is, multiple columns (depending on the number of telephone numbers) for each customer/row. How can I achieve that?
I want my output to be
CUSTOMER ID, FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, TEL1, TEL2, TEL3, ... etc
Each 'Tel' will relate to a one or more records in the PHONES table that is linked back to the customer.
Case: Exporting Report to PDF/Printing/TIFF Report: Contains 1 table with 19 Columns. 1 column is static, the other 18 are visible at the users descretion. Report when printed/exported to pdf spans 2 pages naturally, 16 on the first page, 3 on the second, and the column widths have been adjusted to provide a perfect page span .
User A elects to hide two of the columns, and show the rest. The report complies and the viewable version is perfect, the excel export is perfect.. the PDF export on the first page causes every fith column, starting with the last column that was hidden to be expanded to take up additional width. On the spanned page, it renders the first column on that page correctly, then there is a white space gap equal to the width of the hidden columns and then the rest of the cells show with the last column expanded to take up the same width that the original 2 columns were going to take up, plus its width.
We have tried several different settings to see if it helps this issue or makes it worse. So far cangrow/canshrink/keep together have made no impact. It is not possible to increase the page size due to limited page size selection availablility for the client. There are far too many combinations of what the user can elect to show or hide to put together different tables to show and hide on the same report to remove this effect.
Any help or suggestion on this issue would be appreciated
The purpose, as you can probably guess, is to produce a set of sampledocuments from a large document run.

I have some data in week1 of the database and some data in week2 of the database. Now I want to add these both datas and put it in other column. Can I get exact SQL query for this??
Can someone Please help me with what seems to me a "complex" query??
I have the following columns/data - See Original Data.jpg
This is what I need the SQL query(s) to do. I need it to 1) Select the distinct names AND months 2) Count the number of times that a name AND a month appeared together 3) Sum totalsold for each name/month 4) sum employeescore for each name/month
Hi, I have 3 tables: Table SLA: SLA_code, SLA_name Table industry: Industry_code, Industry_name Table14: SLA_code_origin, SLA_code_destination, Industry_code, Freq
I would like to query to get in one table: SLA_name for DESTINATION, Industry_name, Freq
Note: SLA_code contains the same codes as SLA_code_origin and SLA_code_destination. All are the same codes in column oringin means the From point and colum destination the To point.
How can I query to get the Freq and Industry for those destination SLAs?
I have make a relationship between: Table SLA.SLA_code with Table14.SLA_code_destination and Table_industry.Industry_code with Table14.Industry_code
But I am not sure if just a SELECT SLA.SLA_name, Industry.Industry_name, Table14.Freq FROM SLA, Industry, Table14 would select the SLA_destination and not the SLA_origin.

I don't know how to properly insert a pic, but basically I get output, except the last 3 columns. I've tried every variation of JOIN and I cannot seem to solve this issue.
I just want to query all records with the maximum value in column invoices.numbers. So for instance I have records with invoice numbers = 850, 849, 800 respectively. I want only records 850 (the highest value). Then next month I want invoices with value 851. Anyone know how to write this easily so I don't have to write it out everytime, e.g. invoice.numbers=851?
Hi All, I have a simple question. If I have a view that query from joined multiple tables and return a lot of columns (more than 100). If I run a simple query just return several columns (e.g. 4-5 columns), will SQL Server query all columns first from all joined table? or can SQL Server query only necessary column from related table?
Does anyone have idea how to join table that can reflect both left and right join? Table A Table B Column1 Column2 Column3 Column4 Column1 Column2 Column 3 Column5 A Jan 5 xxx A Jan 1 yyy B Feb 3 C Mar 4 B Mar 4 C Apr 3 C Apr 2 D May 2 E Mar 1
Result Table Column1 Column2 Column3 Column4 Column 5 A Jan 6 (= 5+1) xxx yyyy B Feb 3 B Mar 4 C Mar 4 C Apr 5 (= 2+3) D May 2 E Mar 1
So the result table is a join on column1 and column2 (both are primary key), with column3 is a sum aggregate. Table A has additional column4 and Table B has additional column5, so quite difficult to union (In fact, there are a lot of column differences between table).
I have a sample table as below: (All columns do not have to have unique values) Column n is int, the rest are varchar [First row is the column Names]
n | t1 | t2 | t3 | t4 1 | a | b | c | d 3 | e | w | a | t 3 | w | q | u | k 2 | g | w | q | n 2 | a | b | s | a 5 | n | a | w | h
I need to create a query or some how create a way to get the data in the form of the below table:
n | t1 | t2 | t3 | t4 | t11 | t21 | t31 | t41 1 | a | b | c | d | 3 | e | w | a | t | w | q | u | k 2 | g | w | q | n | a | b | s | a 5 | n | a | w | h
What that means is that I have a huge table (~6000 rows) that has the column 'n' above (int type) which can have rows that start with the same number (such as number 3 & 2 above). I need these duplicate rows of numbers to be converted/transformed to columns alongside each other. This would create 1 entry for each type of number but have the 4 columns of t1, t2, t3, t4 'added' on as extra columns in the new table with a different column name ofcourse. So what that would mean is that if there were 3 rows of number n=2 then would have 3x4=12 columns, plus the 'n' column and so forth.
I am not sure on how to start the query for this. What I have thought is maybe using a cursor and going through the table. But not sure how I could do that really. The other is using a Pivot in a SELECT statement. But that would not work since the columns can grow indefinetely depending on how many of the same 'number' row there is!
I have a query that gets three columns of data. PRODUCT_ID, SMALL_TEXT_VALUE, AND LARGE_TEXT_VALUE. I'd like to know if there is a way that I can alter my query below so that whenever SMALL_TEXT_VALUE is Null, it uses the value thats in the LARGE_TEXT_VALUE column. Whenever the small is null, the data I need is in the large column. My Query: Select EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES.PRODUCT_ID, EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES.SMALL_TEXT_VALUE, EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES.LARGE_TEXT_VALUEFrom EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES, EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTESWhere EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES.Ext_Att_ID = EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES.Ext_Att_IDORDER BY Product_ID DESC

I like to push 1 column into 2 different columns just to show it on the screen. So no import in another table ore something like that. I have a table like this: Select Name from Cars; Result: Col1 BMWMercedesFordAudi But i like to make a query so it is displayed like this: Col1 Col2 BMW FordMercedes Audi So i can bound a table directly to that column!Is this possible with SQL, and how can i build it.Thanks.
Hi,I have a empskill Table which has 3 Columns (1) EmpID (2) SkillTypeID and (3) CourseID.Now SkillTypeID column has data 1 or 2 .......in here 1 means Primary Skill and 2 means Secondary Skill.

Is there a simple and direct way to perform a fulltext query in a table with multiple columns, and to use AND over multiple columns? I've noticed that AND only works within one column.
Example: Take a column 'lastname' with 'jones' and 'smith' in it. Another column 'firstname' with 'alan' where lastname=smith. Search for 'alan and smith', and no results are returned because they are in different columns. If you would have a lastname 'alan smith', that would be found.
I am wanting to make a query to find out if there are any columns in a table that are null for all records.
So far I am using a cursor that holds all the column names of that table and then a stored procedure that would use a loop to cycle through all the column names in a query to essentially count the number of nulls for each column and then an If statement to check to see if the #of nulls = to the number of records.
What isn't working is my query to count the number of nulls...Here is my query
select count(*) from XYZ where @cName is null
Ive tried declaring cName as a sysname, and varchar, neither work.
Also, I've tried using COL_NAME(OBJECT_ID('XYZ'), someColumnIndx)...I think this would be the better choice just because I wouldn't need to use a cursor, but both aren't working. I am a bit new to MSSQL and don't know my way around the system tables. Is there a sys table that would give me this info so I wouldn't need to perform a query?
I'm trying to create an Insert query and I'm having difficulty in 2 areas:
First, I would like to CAST/CONVERT a single column of the several columns in the tables below. Is it possible to retain the asterisk identifying all columns and single out a particular column to be converted as opposed to writing out each individual column in both the INSERT and SELECT statements? I would like to CONVERT the column "MILL_COST" from VARCHAR(50) to Money.
INSERT INTO ITEM_MASTER SELECT * FROM ITEM_MASTER_TEMP
Second, I've tried the following"conversions" in the SELECT statement, to no avail:
CONVERT(Money, MILL_COST) As MILL_COST CONVERT(Money, CONVERT(Varchar(50), MILL_COST) CAST(MILL_COST AS Money)
