Delete Records From A Table Using Records In Another Table.
Jul 20, 2005
I have been searching many postings and I cant seem to find anyone
that has this answer so I decided to post. I am using SQL
(Transact-SQL).If I have 2 tables with columns
acct_num,activity_date,and pay_amt and I want to delete one instance
of a record in table 1 for every instance of that record in table 2
how could I do that. For example.
Table 1
-----------
acct activity_date pay_amt
123 5/1/2004 50.00
123 5/1/2004 50.00
123 5/1/2004 50.00
123 5/1/2004 50.00
123 5/1/2004 50.00
Table 2
-----------
acct activity_date pay_amt
123 5/1/2004 50.00
123 5/1/2004 50.00
I need a delete statement that will find 2 of the 5 records(It doesn't
matter which 2) and delete them.
Leaving table one looking like this.
Table 1
-----------
acct activity_date pay_amt
123 5/1/2004 50.00
123 5/1/2004 50.00
123 5/1/2004 50.00
How can I do this??

I need to delete records from a table (Table1) which has a foreign key column in a related table (Table2).
Table1 columns are: table1Id; Name. Table2 columns include Table2.table1Id which is the foreign key to Table1.
What is the syntax to delete records from Table1 using Table1.Name='some name' and remove any records in Table2 that have Table2.table1Id equal to Table1.table1Id?

Ok, I'm really new at this, but I am looking for a way to automatically insert new records into tables. I have one primary table with a primary key id that is automatically generated on insert and 3 other tables that have foreign keys pointing to the primary key. Is there a way to automatically create new records in the foreign tables that will have the new id? Would this be a job for a trigger, stored procedure? I admit I haven't studied up on those yet--I am learning things as I need them. Thanks.

:confused: Urgent!!
Hi there. I use MS SQL server. I would like to separate the data from one table to two tables refer to two reference tables and the following conditions:
Let say these two reference tables are called:
Table A & Table B
Group A:
1. Same date in Table A & Table B
2. Same ID in Table A & Table B (ID is not unique)
3. Same name in Table A & Table B (Name is not unique)
Combine all of these three conditions for unique identifier.
I used the following SQL code to separate the required data that match the above conditions to the new table.
(Code)
select a.Project, a.Site, a.S_number, a.Field_ID, a.Method, a.Analyte, a.Result, a.Units,
a.Qualifier, a.Dilution_Factor, a.Reporting_limit, a.Recovery_, a.Matrix, a.CAS_Number, a.Sample_Date,
a.Received_Date, a.Prep_Date, a.Analysis_Date, a.Batch_ID, a.Data_Package_num_SDG, a.Lab_Sample_ID,
a.Lab into APPL_union_exist from APPL_union_update a, Before_01012004_report b
where a.Field_ID = b.[Field Sample] and a.Sample_Date = b.Collected and a.Analyte = b.Analyte
However, I don't know how to delete the data that copied to the new table in original table, or separate that to the new table. Wish someone can help me. Thanks a lot

Table1 contains fields Groupid, UserName,Category, Dimension
Table2 contains fields Group, Name,Category, Dimension (Group and Name are not in Table1)
So basically I need to read the records in Table1 using Groupid and each time there is a Groupid then select records from Table2 where Table2.Category in (Select Catergory from Table1)
and Table2.Dimension in (Select Dimension from Table1)
In Table1 There might be 10 Groupid records all of which are different.

I am trying to write a query that will retrieve all students of a particular class and also any rows in HomeworkLogLine if they exist (but return null if there is no row). I thought this should be a relatively simple LEFT join but I've tried every possible combination of joins but it's not working.
SELECT
Student.StudentSurname + ', ' + Student.StudentForename AS Fullname,
HomeworkLogLine.HomeworkLogLineTimestamp,
HomeworkLog.HomeworkLogDescription,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY HomeworkLogLine.HomeworkLogLineStudentID ORDER BY
[Code] ...
It's only returning two rows (the students where they have a row in the HomeworkLogLine table).

Hello, I'm developing application which monitors network packets. The monitoring data are saved into table. Monitoring table maintains the data for fixed quantum time,for example during one 1 hour. So, every minute before or after insert new data, I delete the time-expired data. I doubt that the endless delete operation would results in some problems(increasing index,etc..).
Is this mechanism safe to the dbms?
Aren't there round-robin(?) style table?

Short Question: How do I delete all records from a destination table prior to appending new data to that table?
I am working with a SQL database that was migrated from MS Access. All relationships, primary keys, and identity columns have been set identically to the MS Access database values. The MS Access database is still being used as the database of record until the SQL database is fully functional with front-end, etc.
I want to delete the information stored in all the SQL tables, and then append the MS Access values to the SQL tables. I was able to write delete and append queries in MS Access to correctly transfer data to the SQL tables. However, I would prefer doing this through SSIS because I have several other sources of data to move to a SQL Server database and most of those other sources are not a MS Access database.
Due to relational entegrity settings, I need to delete the records from 8 tables in a specific order. I have tried independent control objects for each of the 8 tables with data flow objects of either "OLE DB Command" or "OLE DB Source" with the SQL command as "Delete From TableName". Results of the debug indicate everything is "green" but no records were deleted fromt the tables.

Hello,
I have been serching for weeks to resolve this problem. I am new to ASP.NET and trying to make the migration from ASP which I have programmed in for years. I am using Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition and SQL Express Edtion. I have been working through the Microsoft Video Training at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/beginner/learningpath/ and created a web site using Tier 3 Lesson 8 as the model. My new web site which is a simple phone book applicaiton lets me read the table and select the record without any problem. But the update form lets me edit but when I attempt to Apply the update I get the following error.
Server Error in '/Phonebook' Application.
ObjectDataSource 'ObjectDataSource1' could not find a non-generic method 'Update' that has parameters: FirstName, LastName, PhoneNumber, BossGroup, Department, BossPickup, ShowInPhonebook, Type, Original_FirstName, Original_LastName, Original_PhoneNumber, Original_BossGroup, Original_Department, Original_BossPickup, Original_ShowInPhoneBook, Original_Type, Original_ItemID.
Description: An unhundled expception occured during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originiated in the code.
The Stack Trace basiclly showes the same error as above.
Also, when I attempt to delete the record I do not get an error but the record does not delete.
What is interesting is that I can add a record so I do not believe that it is a security permissions issue. I have the ISS Authinication Method Enable Anonymous Access set on with full control.
If anyone has any insight as to why this is occuring please let me know.

Hi everyone,
I have a task to create a dts package, which will delete records in a SQL table, which are present on a sheet tab in Excel. I know how to transfer records from Excel to SQL table and vice versa, but not sure how I can delete the records in SQL table, which are present in Excel. Note that there are just 2 columns - one is a key and the other name.
Thank you all in advance,

So I've stumbled across an audit table on one of our systems that has reached a hearty 180M rows in size.
The table is a heap (no indexes whatsoever).
Each record has a datetime value indicating when it was created.
I need to delete everything that was created prior to the last 6 months; what is my best plan of attack?

Hi Everyone,
We have a large test database with million of records for more than company site Code. Sometime we want to refresh the data of that database for one or more site Codes.
In order to do that I have to delete all records of the site code we want to refresh on the test database first then copy a new set of data from production database over. Since we refresh data based on the site code therefore I have to use the Delete command instead of Truncate.
Since this is a huge database with thousand of tables and million of records per table I have a performance issues with delete command. So what would be the best to delete a large number of records without writing any information to database log file?
FYI: The Recovery model of this database is Simple
Regards,
Jdang

Is there a way that I can reset the key field to 1 when using DELETE to clear a table?
(Note: if there is a separate command that I could use after the DELETE, that is fine too.)
Thank you for your help with this,

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?
USE [Live_build]
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
BEGIN
DELETE
FROM @ZIPLIST
INSERT INTO @ZIPLIST
SELECT * FROM tblZip3DSWed;
END

I'm looking at SSIS and SqlBulkCopy as a possible method to quickly insert and process large amounts of data, my current method uses the sp_xml_preparedocument and OPENXML to parse an xml document of the data I want to process and insert into the database, however I'm noticing the performance of SqlServer parsing the xml document isn't that good.
I found the C# SqlBulkCopy method (new in .NET 2.0) and I was thinking it would be faster to use that to load my data into a staging table and then use SSIS to extract the data from the staging table, process and transform it as necessary and finally load it into the final destination tables. I was able to create an Integration Services Project that selects the data from the staging table, does a bit of processing on one of the fields (by calling a stored procedure), and finally loads the processed data into the final table.
The problem with this is I need to clean out the rows that were extracted from the staging table and I'm not sure how I can accomplish this (and I can't just issue a "delete from staging_table" because there maybe new records in the staging table that were not processed), perhaps I can either delete each record as it is proccessed or somehow get the last proccessed identity id from the staging table and delete all records less than or equal to that id.
thanks in advance for any help you can provide, maybe there is an easy way to accomplish what I'm trying to do.

I have around 3 tables having around 20 to 30gb of data. My table A related to table B by a FK and same way table B related to table C by FK. I would like to delete all rows satisfying certain condition from table A and all corresponding related records from table B and C. I have created a query to delete the grandchild first, followed by child table and finally parent. I have used inner join in my delete query. As you all know, inner join delete operations, are going to be extremely resource Intensive especially on bigger tables.
What is the best approach to delete all these rows? There are many constraints, triggers on these tables. Also, there might be some FK relations to other tables as well.

I have a situation where deleting old records is blocking updating latest records on highly transactional table and getting timeout errors from application.
In details, I have one table called Tran_table1 in OLTP database. This Tran_table1 is highly transactional table, it will receive data for insert/update continuously
While archiving 2 years old records from Tran_table1 into Tran_table1_archive in batches(using DELETE OUTPUT INTO clause), if there is any UPDATEs on Tran_table1,these updates are getting blocked and result is timeout errors in application.
Is there any SQL Server hints to avoid blocking ..

I have a table with about half a million records, each representing a patient in my county.
Each record has a field (RRank) which basically sorts the patients as to how "unwell" they are according to a previously-applied algorithm. The most unwell patient has an RRank of 1, the next-most unwell has RRank=2 etc.
I have just deleted several hundred records (which relate to patients now deceased) from the table, thereby leaving gaps in the RRank sequence. I want to renumber the remaining recs to get rid of the gaps.
I can see what I want to accomplish by using ROW_NUMBER, thus:
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() Over (ORDER BY RRank) as RecNumber, RRank
FROM RPL
ORDER BY RRank
I see the numbers in the RecNumber column falling behind the RRank as I scan down the results
My question is: How to convert this into an UPDATE statement? I had hoped that I could do something like:
UPDATE RISC_PatientList_TEMP
SET RRank = ROW_NUMBER() Over (ORDER BY RRank);
but the system informs that window functions will only work on SELECT (which UPDATE isn't) or ORDER BY (which I can't legally add).

HI,
I have been trying to solve the locking problem from past couple of days. Please help mee!!
Scenario:
--------------
I have a SSIS package in which 2 data flow tasks. 1st data flow task deletes records from a 5 tables and the 2nd data flow task should insert records into 1 of the five tables after the success of 1st data flow task. This scenario runs in Transacation.
The above scenrio in the 2nd data flow task hangs in runtime. It does not complete. with sp_who2 command i could see that there is an intent share lock(LK_M_IS) on the table and the status is SUSPENDED.
I dont know how to come out of this locking. Please help.
Thanks ,
