I am sorry to post this simple question here but I could not find a right category thread to post this.
I am learning SQL Server 2005 and I have a very simple question.
I have already set up several tables and setup relations between them and have loaded data into tables.
How do I clear all the data in tables ?
What is the best way to empty out a table to reset its identity field back to 1?
I was going to do "Generate SQL Script" for all the tables I wanted to reset and then drop and re-create each table. Is there a better way to empty out all of your tables?
I need to load a database with new data, from an existing parallelsystem, but the database schema has changed and I did not make a script to do the changes. Sure wish I had. So, now I would like to copy the data from the existing parallel system into the new SQL database that has the correct schema. I have built the new database from the existing changed database. Now I would like to know if there is an easy way to clear the data out of all the tables, then copy all the data from the old schema into the new schema's tables.Thanks!Vic

I have two tables (tblRequest and tblDev) whose items have many-to-manyrelationships with each other. I have set things up like this(simplified):Table 1 fields: tblRequest.PrimaryKey tblRequest.Descriptionexample: 10 45 Elm11 63 Green12 123 Main Street13 23 PineTable 2 fields: tblDev.PrimaryKey tblDev.Descriptionexample: 20 Local. No issues21 City owned and main22 Out of county23 Not seen by officerThen Table 3 keeps track of the relationships between tables 1 and 2 bytracking the primary key of the linked items in tables 1 and 2.Table 3 fields: tblLink.RequestPrimaryKey tblLink.DevPrimaryKey10 2010 2111 2212 22Items from tables 1 and 2 may or may not have a relationship listed intable 3.So given an item in tblRequest:tblRequest.PrimaryKey tblRequest.Description12 123 Main StreetI need two queries...The first query would return ALL items from tblDev that are notassociated with this item in tblRequest - in this case 20, 21, 23.The second query would return ALL items from tblDev that ARE associatedwith this item in tblRequest - in this case 22.That's it. Thanks in advance

Hello,
does anyone know of a way that I can detect if a table is empty via a SQL Server job step?
Many thanks

Purpose - relate Server to Software, and Server to App and display it in power view.Current State - I am able to display that Server/Software and Server/App combos separately in power view.  However when I add Server/Software/App it throws the warning as seen below.  This leads me to believe the relationships aren't transitive so to speak.
Supporting Info - v_gs_installedsoftware is the software table. Â It relates to v_r_system which is the server table through resource id. Â The software table can have many rows with the same resource id, however the server table only has unique resourceids (think of it as a server can have many software products installed). Â Table1 is the application table, it relates to the v_r_system table through the resourceid. Â Each server from the server table can have many applications that it actually plays a role in (think of a web server that hosts multiple websites for different business units).
Hi ,
I have two tables within a SQL database. The 1st table has an identified column and column which lists one of more email identifers for a second table,
e.g.
ID Email
-- ----------
1 AS1 AS11
2 AS2 AS3 AS4 AS5
3 AS6 AS7
The second table has a column which has an email identifier and another column which lists one email address for that particular identifier, e.g.
ID EmailAddress
--- ------------------
AS1 abcstu@emc.com
AS2 abcstu2@emc.com
AS3 abcstu3@emc.com
AS4 abcstu4@em.com
AS5 abcstu5@emc.com
AS6 abcstu6@emc.com
AS7 abcstu7@emc.com
AS11 abcstu8@emc.com
I need to create a stored procedure or function that:
1. Selects an Email from the first table, based on a valid ID,
2. Splits the Email field of the first table (using the space separator) so that there is an array of Emails and then,
3. Selects the relevant EmailAddress value from the second table, based on a valid Email stored in the array
Is there any way that this can be done directly within SQL Server using a stored procedure/function without having to use cursors?
Many Thanks,

I have created a session in extended events and want to frequently monitor the events that i have filtered .The problem i am facing is i am not able to clear the previous data as we do it in SQL trace. i am able to see all the data that is occupied till now.whenever i start the test i want the current data only to be displayed.The work around is either delete the session and create a new one every-time which i do not want to do .I am able to see the CLEAR DATA FROM TABLE button but it is in Disabled state all the time.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using the SharePoint adapters from Codeplex that allow me to use SharePoint source and destination tasks in SSIS for SQL Server 2008 and SharePoint 2010. I am able to pull the data from the SQL Server and insert it into the SharePoint List.
However, I prefer to just have fresh data every time, so I'd like to add a step to delete all the items in the list before inserting the new ones. Is there a way I can configure the SharePoint SSIS destination task to clear all the items before I insert new ones?

Hi all,
I have been using SQL Server 2K for a couple of months now and I have been entering data into my tables through Enterprise Manager. I do this by selecting the table, right-clicking on it, and selecting Return All Rows.
After months of use, this method of entering data has become tedious and cumbersome. Is there an easier way to enter data into SQL Server? I don't know how to program Visual Basic, but I know how to create dynamic websites.
Microsoft Access offers the ability to make Forms, so that data entry is easier. Can SQL Server offer anything similar? Maybe SQL Server 2005 offers a GUI for data entry?
Cheers for your help!
First, thank you all for the help so far.My new, broader Question is this: What is the most efficient (read easiest) way to code in an inset statement into a remoste SQL 2003 database from IIS 6 running asp.net 2.0?Here is the situation: I have a form that requires the user to be signed in. I then want to get the value of a text box TBOne(String), a dropdownlist DDOne(Text), another Textbox TBTwo (int) and insert these values in to a NEW row of a database (DBTest) into table TTest, with the UserName (String), and todaysdate (SmallDateTime).I am a JSP programmer, and it's fairly easy to do in JSP, but I am trying to leverage the SQL Datasource, to make my life easier.Is there a simple way to do this? Something like:String username=page.someintg.User.name;String TBOne=TBOne.text;...Insert into DBTest.TTest Values(username, TBOne, ...) ? TIA Dan

Hi....Does anyone know if there is a similar command to SQL2K's DBCC ERRORLOG.
I'm currently writing a preventative maintenance script and want to force archiving of errorlogs. Any help greatly appreciated.
It's been some time since I've written any SQL so I apologize if the answer to my question is obvious.
In pseudo-code here's what I want to do:
delete from table-1 all rows where the table-1.id = table-2.id and table-1.text = ""
Thanks in advance.

I would like to clear the logfile. Could anybody tell me how to do this?
What I would like most would be to run SQL-Server without any log-file (while development). But I suppose that this is not possible.

I have a dataBase named pricesDB. I would like to clear all the prices column everyday at midnight.
How should i do that???
When I backup a my transaction log and then run DBCC SQLPERF(logspace) the log shows 12% space used. The backup was run at night long after any transactions had been executed so there should be no active transactions. In SQL 6.5 you could run DBCC CHECKTABLE(syslogs) to clear up the usage inaccuracy is there a similar command in 7.0 to fix the space usage inaccuracy?

Please advice. :eek:
