I created a PDF that contains information from a few different tables using VB.Net(ie name, date, etc). Once the PDF is created I stored it in a new SQL table (Form_001) in the varbinary max column. My issue now is to populate the other colums in Form_001 that conatins the data from the other tables. Is it possible to populate the columns even though the names are different with data from the other tables?
View 3 RepliesHi all, I am not over familiar with SQL, I am a VB programmer, simply I need to achieve the following within Enterprise Manager.
I have 2 tables, different designs, different number of rows, I simply need to check whether the contents of a column in the first table is in a column in the second table, just simply a table/column to table/column data check for the same data content.
Easy Peasy for you guys, any help would be appreciated.
I have a column of digits I'd like to copy into another column in thesame table. How would I do this?Thanks,Bill
View 1 Replies View RelatedIf 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,

The same script is generated regardless the table having data or not, having a clustered or nonclustered PK.
I have a requirement of table partitioning. we have 10 years of data on a table which is 30 billion up rows on 2005 server we are upgrading it to 2014. we have to keep 7 years of data. there is no keys on table or date column. since its a huge amount of data and many users its slow down the process speed. we are thinking to do partition on 7 years for Quarterly based. but as i said there is no date column on table we have to use reference table to get date. is there a way i can do the partitioning with out adding date column on table? also does partition will make query faster?
I have think three ways to do it.
1. leave as it is.
2. 7 years partition on one server
3. 3 years partition on server1 and 4 years partition on server2 (for 4 years is snapshot better?)
I am studying indexes and keys. I have a table that has a fixed width of data to be loaded in the first column which is parsed in a view based on data types within the fixed width specifications.
Example column A:
(name phone house cost of house,zipcodecountystatecountry)
-a view will later split this large varchar string based
column b: is the source filename of the data load (varchar 256)
....
a. would there be a benefit of adding a clustered or nonclustered index (if so which/point in direction on why)
b. is there benefit of making one of these two columns a primary key (millions of records) or for adding a 3rd new column as a pk?
c. view: this parses the data in column a so it ends up looking more like "name phone house cost of house zipcode county state country" each having their own column.
-any pros/cons of adding indexes (if so which) to the view instead of the tables or both for once the data is parsed?
I am trying to create a table that holds info about a user; with the usual columns for firstName, lastName, etc.... no problem creating the table or it's columns, but how can I "restrict" the values of my State column in the 'users' table so that it only accepts values from the 'states' table?

hello all,
I don't know how to update table A with data from table B without specifying every column.
These two tables have the same fields and same structure.
I know that it's possible to do the following:
update table A
set A.name = B.name,
A.job = B.job
from table B
But I have many columns and don't want to describe every column, is that possible?
Thanks!
dear all
i have 2 tables, lets say table A and Table B
both tables has column ID
i wonder how can i find records that appears in B.ID and not appear in A.ID
what is the SQL command in this case???
Thnks alot
Okay, after I got everything imported, I found that a few thousand columns had "Shifted" on me. So now I am trying to "Shift them over" to where they need to be.
I did this:
INSERT INTO dbo.TABLENAME (COLUMN_NAME_TO_BE POPULATED)
SELECT COLUM_NAME_OF_INFO_TO_BE_MOVED
FROM dbo.TABLENAME
WHERE MFG = 'MANUFACTURER_NAME' AND PN LIKE '8888888888'
GO
I populated the PN column with 8888888888 to use as a reference point, and the MFG column already was populated with the correct name, so I was using those as my unique reference points.
Other columns that have the same MFG name are correct, so I have to use two unique identifiers to specify the actual data that needs to be moved.
It inserted 'NULL' in the whole table after I ran it in the Query Analyzer. It appeared to disregard the WHERE statement all together
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong here?
Is there a way to move the data from one column to the next one over by specifying other WHERE criterias?
I need to find a table and column name from some given data. I know what data i want to edit, I just need to know where it is located and the database is too big to manually go through. It is Microsoft sql server 2000. Any help is appreciated.

View 6 Replies View RelatedHi,
Here is my scenario simplified.
tbl1
userid, secondaryid
tbl2
userID, secondaryID
tbl1 is already populated. I just want to transfer the secondary ID to tbl2 based on the userID. I don't want to store secondaryID in tbl1 anymore.
I have a table where the designer allowed time reporting for 8 different types of activity on each timecard, then stored the hours by activity in 8 separate columns in the database. Example:
Table A.
Column Headers: Employee|Date|Phase1Hours|Phase2Hours, etc...
Data: Fred Jones| 7/15/13 |3|3, etc...
The problem is there is no way based on this structure to get an employee's hours for the day in columnar form.
To get this data into columnar form I have used Select queries with Union All, for instance:
SELECT Employee, Date, Phase1
FROM Table A
UNION ALL
SELECT Employee, Date, Phase2
FROM Table A
,etc.....
Query is running slow (I am guessing it is because the same table is repeatedly being accessed).
What would be the most efficient method of constructing a sql statement to retrieve certain record into (this gets tricky) rows of a table with 3 columns date.desc.
<table>
@foreach(var row in maytable){
<tr>
<td>@row.Most_Recent_Record1</td>
<td>@row.Most_Recent_Record2</</td>
<td>@row.Most_Recent_Record3</</td>
</tr>
}
</table>
How to modify/change data that is in a SQL table column. Here is what I need or have

Assume we have 5 columns in a table. while auditing updated data i need to log data except some of the columns.
Create table Test( col1 int, col2 int, col3 int, col4 int, col5 int)

I do an insert of the xml into the table and that works fine, but how do I split the tags to different tables. I have tried SSIS and a XML Source to an OLEDB Source, but since the xml file contains different groups that do not work.
The xml is created by Infopath and it seems like the groups are created if the components belongs to different sections.
Table1
id int,
xmltag xml

Hi All
I want to retrieve the data type of table column and validate the input data whether same as data type of table column before insert into database. Any suggestion?
I use asp.net + msde
Thank you.
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.
Whenever I import (or even append from another table) data to a table that has an Identity column, I get an error: Cannot insert NULL values in Identity column.
Isn't the Idenity column supposed to incement automatically without me having to provide a value? Using INSERT provides an Identity value automatically, using import however doesn't.
How can I overcome this problem? (I now delete and recreate the Identity column - really BAD practice!)
Thank you.

I have two tables:
dtr
dataid........Subtype
data
docid....mimetype
I need to change the value of column mimetype in table data, but only for these entries which have the value 144 in column "Subtype" in table dtr.
Here is my sql:
with cte as (
select
DataID,
SubType,
MimeType
from dtr A1, data A2
where A1.dataid=A2.Docid And A1.Subtype='144'
AND
A2.mimetype='application/news-message-id'
)
update cte set MimeType = 'application/x-outlook-msg'
I've tested it and it works. Do you see any problems with this SQL?
As updates are risky I'll do a database backup. Is it possible to get all changed entries so that I can track my update, because I don't have a report about the changes? Maybe that everythin is transferred to an output file?

I have two tables. They both have an identity field to join them together. One of the tables has a column of data that I want to put in the other table. I need to make sure the data is brought over using the join so it updates that column for the right record.
I am struggling with this. Should I use a update or an insert? I'm leaning toward update but I can't figure out how with the join.
This is what I have tried so far:
Update grpcon.GroupID = groups.GroupID
from grpcon Inner Join groups
on grpcon.GroupNum=groups.GroupNum
I have been provided with a table where one of the columns is of TimeStamp data type. My question is how to insert and update data in this column through my SQL Statement? When I run my SQL statement, it gives me an error with this column name in the error.
