Deleting Columns From Table
May 26, 2006
in sql server 2000, I have a table that I have to write a script for to delete several columns in this table. I am finding that I have to use alter or drop keywords or a combination of the two but not sure because I have not done this before. I am googling this but finding all kinds of other information that I dont' need to know.
I dont have rights on this table so I cannot do this manually. I have to create the script and send it on to someone else.
If anyone can provide a good script example that I can use to delete unwanted columns it would be a great thing. Thanks.

So I have been trying to get mySQL query to work for a large database that I have. I have (lets say) two tables Table_One and Table_Two. Table_One has three columns: Type, Animal and TestID and Table_Two has 2 columns Test_Name and Test_ID. Example with values is below:
**TABLE_ONE**
Type Animal TestID
-----------------------------------------
Mammal Goat 1
Fish Cod 1
Bird Chicken 1
Reptile Snake 1
Bird Crow 2
Mammal Cow 2
Bird Ostrich 3
**Table_Two**
Test_name TestID
-------------------------
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_2 2
Test_2 2
Test_3 3
In Table_One all types come under one column and the values of all Types (Mammal, Fish, Bird, Reptile) come under another column (Animals). Table_One and Two can be linked by Test_ID
I am trying to create a table such as shown below:
Test_Name Bird Reptile Mammal Fish
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Test_1 Chicken Snake Goat Cod
Test_2 Crow Cow
Test_3 Ostrich
This should be my final table. The approach I am currently using is to make multiple instances of Table_One and using joins to form this final table. So the column Bird, Reptile, Mammal and Fish all come from a different copy of Table_one.
For e.g
Select
Test_Name AS 'Test_Name',
Table_Bird.Animal AS 'Birds',
Table_Mammal.Animal AS 'Mammal',
Table_Reptile.Animal AS 'Reptile,
Table_Fish.Animal AS 'Fish'
From Table_One
[Code] .....
The problem with this query is it only works when all entries for Birds, Mammals, Reptiles and Fish have some value. If one field is empty as for Test_Two or Test_Three, it doesn't return that record. I used Or instead of And in the WHERE clause but that didn't work as well.

Hi guys,
I have a table which consist of 6,185 rows and from this table I want to delete 427 rows. I have placed the 427 rows in a separate table. So how do I delete these 427 from the original table(6185 rows).
I should also mention that the table does not have a primary key so I was thinking about something like this but it didn't work
delete o.CardNumber
,o.ref_no
,o.tran_date
,o.tran_val
from test6185 o
where exists (select h.CardNumber
,h.ref_no
,h.tran_date
,h.tran_val
from test427 h
where( h.ref_no=o.ref_no and
h.CardNumber = o.CardNumber and
h.tran_date =o.tran_date and
h.tran_val =o.tran_val
))
order by cardnumber
Thank much for any help

I need to delete some specific rows in Table1
int1 must have the value 1
int2 must have the value 1
int3 must have the value 0
and now we get to the difficult part - first character in the field [Cost No] have to be different from the letter 'B'. [Cost No] have the datatype varchar(20)
I expected the code to look something like this:
DELETE Table1
FROM Table 1
WHERE ([Int1] = 1) AND ([Int2] = 1) AND ([Int3] = 0) AND ((LEFT([Cost No]), 1) <> 'B')
But I get this error message:
The left function requires 2 arguments
What am I doing wrong and what should the right code look like?

Hi,
I have two tables
Table Source
{
category varchar(20),
LastUpdate datetime
}
Table Destination
{
SubjectId varchar(20),
SubjectDate datetime,
category varchar(20),
LastUpdate datetime
}
Please note that the number columns are different in each table.
I wanted to dump the data of Source table to Destination table. I meant to say that the rows of 2 columns in Source table to last 2 rows of Destination table.
And also my oreder of the columns in Destination table will vary. So i need to a way to dynamically insert the data in bulk. but i will know the column names for sure before inserting.
Is there anyway to bulk insert into these columns.
Your quick response will be appreciated

I have a business need to create a report by query data from a MS SQL 2008 database and display the result to the users on a web page. The report initially has 6 columns of data and 2 out of 6 have JSON data so the users request to have those 2 JSON columns parse into 15 additional columns (first JSON column has 8 key/value pairs and the second JSON column has 7 key/value pairs). Here what I have done so far:
I found a table value function (fnSplitJson2) from this link [URL]. Using this function I can parse a column of JSON data into a table. So when I use the function above against the first column (with JSON data) in my query (with CROSS APPLY) I got the right data back the but I got 8 additional rows of each of the row in my table. The reason for this side effect is because the function returned a table of 8 row (8 key/value pairs) for each json string data that it parsed.
1. First question: How do I modify my current query (see below) so that for each row in my table i got back one row with 19 columns.
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B
If updated my query (see below) and call the function twice within the CROSS APPLY clause I got this error: "The multi-part identifier "A.ITEM6" could be be bound.
2. My second question: How to i get around this error?
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*, C.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B, fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM6,NULL) C
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 version. Windows 7 desktop.

Here is My requirement, I'm not sure if this is possible. Creating table called master like col1, col2 col3, col4 , col5 ...Where Col1, col2 are updatable - this can be done easily
Col3, col4 are columns in another table but these can be just a read only ?? Is this possible ? this is possible with View but not friendly with share point CRUD...Col 5 is a computed column of col 2 and col5 ? if above step can be done then sure this can be done I guess.

Is there a way to delete from multiple tables/views a column with a specificname? For example, a database has 50 tables and 25 views all have a columnnamed ColumnA. Is it possible to write a simple script that will deleteevery column named ColumnA from the database?Seems to be it would be possible and I can somewhat vision it usingsysobjects but without wanting to spend too much time generating the script(when I could in shorter time manually delete) thought I'd pose the question.Thanks.

i have 6 read only tables that every night all the data gets dumped and a new updated copy of the data is copied over. the tables range from 500,000 rows to almost 4 million. i have indexes set up on the fields i use to query against. my questions are
1.since i dump all the data every night and replace it, do i need to rebuild the indexes every night or is that done after the data is reentered?
2.i want to use a fill factor on the table since it is read only, but will dumping the data every night and reinputting it have adverse affects with a fill factor?
3.should i be shrinking the database or defragging it everynight cause of my data dumps and reloads?
thanks in advance

How can I quickly delete thousands of rows in a table (SQL2000) according a query and without blowing up the log file? For instance executing the query:
Delete from transactions
WHERE transactiondatestamp < DATEADD (m,-4,GETDATE())
increases my log file to almost 6GB before job was done an normal size was re-obtained. In addition it took a long to time to get the job done.
With the command truncate table I cannot use query unfortunately but this would be faster.
Anyone has an idea?

I have a table where I want to delete some data from but I get this error.
You might have a record that has a foreign key value related to it, or you might have violated a check constraint.

I have an SQL tables [Keys] that has various rows such as:
[ID] [Name] [Path] [Customer]
1 Key1 Key1 InHouse
2 Key2 Key2 External
3 Key1 Key1 InHouse
4 Key1 Key1 InHouse
5 Key1 Key1 InHouse
Obviously IDs 1,3,4,5 are all exactly the same and I would like to be left with only:
[ID] [Name] [Path] [Customer]
1 Key1 Key1 InHouse
2 Key2 Key2 External
I cannot create a new table/database or change the unique identifier (which is currently ID) either. I simply need an SQL script I can run to clean out the duplicates (I know how they got there and the issue has been fixed but the Database is still currently invalid due to all these duplicate entires).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would like to archive /delete data from a 100GB table. I have to delete on the basis of date column. Date column has been added to clustered index But not having an individual non clustered index.
My estimated execution plan shows a index scan.
Should I impose an non-clustered index on the date column then try to archive /delete after confirming the index seek is used in estimated execution plan or, is there any other method to do this?

I have a question on appending and deleting entries in mysql table. This is my sample table.
table name: details
id_name | model | mode | media| first | end | id | level |
+--------------------+-------+---------+-----+-------+-------+--------+--------+
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 14684 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 14838 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 15236 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 15423 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | 1 | 1 | N | 14026 | 15627 | 6255 | q |
[Code] ....
I have numerous entries of same id name belonging to same median number.However,I want to only retain the entries having the longest first and end position and discard the remaining entries
E.g. for id name ="PSK_30s1207681L002" AND median = 5 we have four entries
id_name | model | mode | media| first | end | id | level |
+--------------------+-------+---------+-----+-------+-------+--------+--------+
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 14684 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 14838 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 15236 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 15423 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | 1 | 1 | N | 14026 | 15627 | 6255 | q |
But I want to retain only the one having longest first and end points ie
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 15423 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | 1 | 1 | N | 14026 | 15627 | 6255 | q |
Here ,since for id name ="PSK_30s1207681L002" & median = N we have only 1 entry I want retain that one.
My final output in mysql table should look like this.
id_name | model | mode | media| first | last | id | level |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 15423 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | 1 | 1 | N | 14026 | 15627 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 3 | 14033 | 15627 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | T0 | 15550 | 16050 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1189731L001 | -1 | 1 | 3 | 999 | 7531 | 9808 | c |
| PSK_30s1189731L001 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 6609 | 8257 | 9808 | c |

Hey all,
I know very simple SQL queries but I need help with this one. I have multiple lines in a SQL database that I need to run. Basically, I need to run this (the bracketed text and the XXX are place holders):
DELETE FROM [tableName] WHERE [columnName] = 'XXXXX'
But I need to run it around 90 times where XXXXX is a unique variable each time. I could create 90 lines similar to this one but that would take way too much time to run. Any suggestions for a noob?
Thanks,

I have an entry form allowing customers to enter up to 15 skus (productid) at a time, so they can make a multiple order, instead of enteringone sku, then submitting it, then returing to the form to submit thesecond one, and so forth.From time to time, the sku they enter will be wrong, or discontiued, soit will not submit an order.Therefore, when they are done submitting their 15 skus through the orderform, I want a list showing them all of those skus that came back blank,or were not found in the database.I'm doing this by creating two tables. A shopping cart, which holds allthe skus that were returned, and a holding table, that holds all theskus that were submitted. I want to then delete all the skus in theholding page that match the skus in teh cart (because they are goodskus) which will then leave the unmatched skus in the holding table.I'll then scroll out the contents of the holding table, to show them theskus that were not found in the database.(confused yet?)So what I want to do is have some sql that will delete from the holdingtable where the sku = the sku in the cart. I've tried writing this, butit dosn't work.I tiried this delete from holding_table where sku = cart.skuI was hoping this would work, but it dosn't. Is there a way for me to dothis?Thanks!Bill*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

I can run a select to retrieve data using a prefix 'a' for the specific table involved. However when I try to run a delete using the same criteria it fails telling me
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1,.......Line 1
Incorrect syntax near 'a'
The Select statement looks like:
select count(*) from schema.table a where a.customer_id=1234
The Delete looks like:
delete from schema.table a where a.customer_id=1234
What am I doing wrong here? and how can I prefix the table, because the command I want to run is much more complicated than the example above and it needs the prefix
