I'm currently working on a Game DB, To where i can set Primary Key's and such, otherwise the Emu reads it wrong. The current table i am working on, has duplicate row's of every row. (3600 rows instead of 1800) and the duplicates have the same ID as the original row. How would i go about Deleting the Duplicate rows without harming the original? (Sql 2005)
I am using the Import/Export wizard to import data from an ODBC data source. This can only be done from a query to specify the data to transfer.
When I try to create the tables, for the query, I am getting the following error:
Msg 2714, Level 16, State 4, Line 12
There is already an object named 'UserID' in the database.
Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 12
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
I have duplicated this error with the following script:
USE [testing]
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users1]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users1]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users1] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users2]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users2]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users2] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users3]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users3]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users3] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
I have searched the "2714 duplicate error msg," but have found references to duplicate table names, rather than multiple field names or column name duplicate errors, within a database.
I think that the schema is only allowing a single UserID primary key.
I've begun to get the above error from my package. The error message refers to two output columns.
Anyone know how this could happen from within the Visual Studio 2005 UI? I've seen the other posts on this subject, and they all seemed to be creating the packages in code.
Is there any way to see all of the columns in the data flow? Or is there any other way to find out which columns it's referring to? Thanks!
How can I compare numerous rows in the same table that have the same fname, lname and access_id but different identity values (and other columns) and then keep only the one row which is the most current based on a date col?
This seems so easy, but today I just can't come up with it. Do I have to use a cursor of some kind?
insert into Table1 select distinct FKID from Table2 where FKID not in (select PKID from Table1)
The above SQL statement is in a DTS package which raises "Duplicate key ignored" error... i can't see how that can happen since i am already checking the key if it already exists. ..
Hi! Very grateful for some advice... duplicate key.. but how do I solve it. By Lookup ? [OLE DB Destination [1647]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E2F.

I have a stored procedure that inserts records into a table with a Unique Clustered Index with ignore_Dup_Key ON.
I can run the stored procedure fine, and get the message that duplicate keys were ignored, and I have the unique data that I want.
When I try to execute this in a DTS package, it stops the package execution because an error message was returned.
I have tried setting the fail on errors to OFF, but this has no effect.
I found the bug notification that says this was corrected with service pack 1, and have now updgraded all the way to service pack 4, and still get the issue.
I tried adding the select statement as described as a work-around in the bug, and still can't get it past the DTS.
I have verified the service pack, re-booted, etc.....
Hello guys! Is it possible to duplicate a primary key? I would like my database to accept data with the same primary key. Is it possible? How do you declare ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE? Please help me. Thanks in advance.

I want to be able to duplicate a row of data in sql....Does anyone know if there is a sql command that will do that. I have a table with an auto increment primary key and I want to duplicate everything except the key into a new record.
I used the following select statement to get duplicate records on Case_number column
select cases.distinct case_link, cases.case_number from cases group by case_link having case_number > 1
I got the error message that
"'cases.warrant_number' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause. AND cases.case_number' is invalid in the HAVING clause because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
Any idea on a better statement to use. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!
Hi, I have a table and this is what i did to get the desired result
Select A.col1,count(A.col1) from Tab1 group by col1 having count(A.Col1) > 1
i tried this - but it didnot worked - it returned col1 as blanks - Select A.col1,B.Col2,count(A.col1) from Tab1 A, Tab2 B where A.col1 = B.col1 group by A.col1 , b.col2 having count(A.Col1) > 1
As I was looking for all the rows that are apperaing more than once.
Now - The problem -
I have to join this table to another table Tab2 to get the other details. My Tab2 is a table from where I have to pull the Customer DEtails like name,address etc. How should I write this query? Any thinuhts? TIA
When you perform a union between table A and table B which table is the duplicate eliminated from? BOL says they are removed but it does not specify how it chooses which to delete.
I've just "inherited" a 7-year-old DB running SQL 7.0, and I've noticed that for some reason, there are several single column indexes where the column is also referenced in other, composite indexes. Now, I'm a pretty new DBA, so I want to know, what are the advantages/perils of removing the redundant single column indexes?
I'm running a BCP IN to a table that has a unique index with ignore duplicate key. I'm getting the error 'Duplicate Key was ignored', but my bcp is immediately failing. I'm importing about 6.8 million recs and I've set my maxerror switch to 7 million. Can anyone tell me how I can make the bcp ignore the dup. key error and continue running?
Hi all, i've given a table structure with data and the expected result . I want to establish it in SQL server (7.0) If i establish the inner join i get 4 rows (2*2) Please let me know how to get the result Thanx in adv Tarriq
Yes, I know this subject has been exhausted, but I need help in locating the discussion which took place a few months ago. Sharon relayed to the group a piece of software (expensive) which would help in my particular situation. I grabbed a demo and have gotten the approval for purchase. Unfortunately, I don't have the thread with me at work.
The problem:
Number Fname Lname Age ID 123 John Franklin 43 1 123 Jane Franklin 40 2 123 Jeff Franklin 12 3 124 Jean Simmons 39 4 125 Gary Bender 37 5 126 Fred Johnson 29 6 126 Fred Johnson 39 7 127 Gene Simmons 47 8
The idea would be to get only unique records from the Number column. I don't care about which information I grab from the other columns, but I must have those fields included. If my resultant result set looked as follows, that would be fine. Or any other way, as long as all of the fields had information and there were only unique values in the Number field.
Number Fname Lname Age ID 123 Jeff Franklin 12 3 124 Jean Simmons 39 4 125 Gary Bender 37 5 126 Fred Johnson 39 7 127 Gene Simmons 47 8
If anyone remembers this discussion, mainly the date, I would really appreciate it.
I will need to stress test a sql server 6.5 test database by duplicating data. To do so, I need to know how to modify the primary key(which are numbers in character data type) to duplicate the data several times over. The primary key is character data.
What I have done ion the past is use insert statments -let's say 20 -- and then copy them and change the date in a text editor and change the primary key column and the other coluimns with thea replace of different letters and numbers. This is slow and tedious.
Does any one have a script I can run to do so?
Can I do this sql or do I need some sort of stored procedure? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I have two tables, one contains all work orders, the second contains records on work orders that are linked to customoer orders. I'm trying to create a query that will return specific fields from the table that contains orders in the linked order table, and only the work orders in the all order table that (work_order) do not exist in the linked order table (demand_supply_link). I have tried several queries and cannot get the results I desire. Here is the query I am currently trying.
SELECT DISTINCT WORK_ORDER.DESIRED_WANT_DATE as 'Want Date', DEMAND_SUPPLY_LINK.SUPPLY_BASE_ID as 'WO Id', WORK_ORDER.DESIRED_QTY as 'End Qty', DEMAND_SUPPLY_LINK.SUPPLY_PART_ID as 'Part Id', CUST_ORDER_LINE.CUSTOMER_PART_ID as 'Cust Part', OPERATION.RESOURCE_ID as Resource, PART.DESCRIPTION as Description, CUSTOMER.NAME as Name FROM ((((DEMAND_SUPPLY_LINK INNER JOIN CUST_ORDER_LINE ON DEMAND_SUPPLY_LINK.DEMAND_BASE_ID = CUST_ORDER_LINE.CUST_ORDER_ID) INNER JOIN WORK_ORDER ON DEMAND_SUPPLY_LINK.SUPPLY_BASE_ID = WORK_ORDER.BASE_ID) INNER JOIN OPERATION ON WORK_ORDER.BASE_ID = OPERATION.WORKORDER_BASE_ID) INNER JOIN PART ON WORK_ORDER.PART_ID = PART.ID) INNER JOIN (CUSTOMER INNER JOIN CUSTOMER_ORDER ON CUSTOMER.ID = CUSTOMER_ORDER.CUSTOMER_ID) ON CUST_ORDER_LINE.CUST_ORDER_ID = CUSTOMER_ORDER.ID WHERE WORK_ORDER.DESIRED_WANT_DATE Is Not Null AND OPERATION.RESOURCE_ID in ('ASSY','FAB 1','PLAY TRK') AND WORK_ORDER.STATUS='R'
UNION SELECT distinct work_order.desired_want_date as 'Want Date', work_order.BASE_id as 'WO Id', work_order.desired_qty as 'End Qty', work_order.part_id as 'Part Id', operation.resource_id as Resource, part.description as Description FROM WORK_ORDER INNER JOIN PART ON PART_ID=WORK_ORDER.PART_ID INNER JOIN OPERATION ON WORK_ORDER.BASE_ID=OPERATION.WORKORDER_BASE_ID WHERE WORK_ORDER.DESIRED_WANT_DATE IS NOT NULL AND OPERATION.RESOURCE_ID IN ('ASSY','FAB 1', 'PLAY TRK') AND WORK_ORDER.STATUS='R'
This is the error I receive: Server: Msg 205, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 All queries in an SQL statement containing a UNION operator must have an equal number of expressions in their target lists.
The all orders table (work_order) will not have the other fields to link to as there is no customer order linked to them.
I need to identify duplicate records in a table. TableA [ id, firstname, surname] I’d like to see records that may be duplicates, meaning both firstname and surname are the same and would like to know how many times they appear in the table
I’m not sure how to write this query, can someone help? Thanks in advance!
hello, i am creating a user login system. When people register for the site I need a way for sql to check weather or not their is a duplicate username already in the databse. Currently, I am going through the whole member profile table searching for a duplicate name. Is there a better way to do this?
I have recently been working on a project that requires one simple table to insert data into. The problem here is that all the data inserted must only access the database via stored procedure and I want to ensure that no duplicate data is inserted in the database. I have done quite a bit of research for many ways to perform duplicate data testing from building temp tables and on, but nothing has really stood out to me yet. I would really like to find some information on how to perform duplicate data testing using a stored procedure that allows to test the data being inserted before it is saved to the database; therefore, when the user inserts the fields and clicks the insert button, the fields will be tested against the existing data (via stored procedure) within the database before being added.
I want to remove duplicate records from my table based on nic number. I try to put primray key constraint. But there are many many duplicates so cannot do it can I have a query to remove duplicates..
Can someone tell me the best procedure when trying to find duplicate records within a table(s)?
I'm new using SQL server and I have been informed that there maybe some DUPS within unknown tables. I need to find these DUPS.
If someone can tell me how to perform this procedure I would apprciate it. And if you reply can also include examples that i could follow for my records.
I have a table which is a license holder table (i.e., plumbers, electricians etc...) There are some people who appear in the table more than once as they have more than 1 type of license. I am tasked with querying out 200 of these people a week for mailing a recruitment letter which I am doing using the following select statement:
SELECT TOP 200 Technicians.Name, Technicians.Address, Technicians.City, Technicians.State, Technicians.ZipCode, Technicians.LicenseType FROM Technicians
My problem is that this doesn't deal with the duplicates and distinct won't work because I need to pass the license type and that's the one field that's always distinct while the name and adress fields duplicate.
