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.
How can I create a Table whose one field will be 'tableid INT IDENTITY(1,1)' and other fields will be the fields from the table "ashu". can this be possible in SQL Server without explicitly writing the"ashu" table's fields name.
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.
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?
I have a list of items in one table and a field (pageName) in another table that may contain one of the aforementioned items somewhere within that field. There is no fixed position within the field where the itemNo may be so I can't just use SUBSTRING(pageName,2,5) in(select itemNo from tblItem).
Logically, it's like I need to combine IN and LIKE: select pageName where pageName LIKE IN %select itemNo from tblitemNo%..LIKE can only handle one comparison string.
I need to copy the following columns from my Employee table in my Performance DB to my Employee table in my VacationRequest DB: CompanyID, FacilityID, EmployeeID, FirstName, LastName, [Password] = 'nippert', Role = 'Employee' I tried the advice on this website but to no avail:http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_select_into.asp
I need to update a table by copying a column from another table(having the samestructure, but on another database), from the record having the sameprimary key.1 - What is the correct query?2 - I tried copying them record by record, but the datatype is ntext,(it displays <longtext> in the result pane), and trying to update it results in thefollowing errormessage:The text, ntext, and image data types are invalid in this subquery oraggregateexpression.I tried variations of the following:UPDATE TABLESET column0 = (SELECTcolumn0FROManotherDB.dbo.TABLEWHEREanotherDB.dbo.TABLE.column1 = column1)WHEREanotherDB.dbo.TABLE.column1 = column1
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
I have 2 databases on the same sql server. Both have the same tables. I need to copy the contents of tableA from the source database to TableA on the destination database. Can I do this using a SQL script or some kind of script, and if so how and what would the syntax be.
I am assuming there is some functionality to copy and paste a table in sql server..however I am not seeing where I can do this what I want to do is this:
create table1 as select * from table 2;
Please let me know how I can create a new table as a replica of an existing table. Thanks so much!
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?
Hey in query analyzer, how do you copy a table form one db to another db i thort it was something like select * into dbo.databaseA.tableNew from dbo.databaseB.tableOld cheers
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.
How can I create a table identical to another one? I need to copy the indexes a constraint too. Example: I have a table "employee" and I want another table "employee2" with the same indexes and primary key and references.
I need to copy a column which contains a list of integers to a new column. Can someone please tell me how I can do this using a query statement? Thanks in advance.
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.
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.)
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.
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
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.
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
