In Access I have a macro that, each night, takes a table with a
primary key defined in it, and deletes all the rows. Then it
imports/appends records from a fixed width text file. In this way,
since the table is not deleted and recreated, the primary key is kept
intact.
What would be the equivalent SQL method for doing this in an automated
way? I've tried letting DTS import the table from Access, but the
primary key is lost. Is there some way to "empty" a table instead of
dropping it, and then append new records so that the table will end up
having the primary key I want it to have?
All, Using access 2003 frontend and sql server 2008 backend. I have an append query to insert 80000 from one table to an empty table. I get an error:
"Microsoft Office Access set 0 field(s) to Null due to a type conversion failure, and didn't add 36000 record(s) to the table due to key violations, 0 record(s) due to lock violations, and 0 record(s) due to validation rule violations."
I know this error normally comes if there are dups in a field that doesnt allow.
I have another table with the following structure (Basically this table will contain a subset of coloumns of Table1)
Table2 ------- Dept Field1 Field2
Now using a query I would like see all the records with all coloumns in Table1 plus all the records in Table2 appended
i.e if Table1 row is
IT F1 F2 F3 F4 F5
and if Table2 row is
IT F11 F22 Sales F12 F23
I would like to see a result set with the following structure
Resultset
IT F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 IT F11 F22 NULL NULL NULL Sales F12 F23 NULL NULL NULL
Can some body explain me how to do this with a query. I tried using union but it requires identical coloumns on both ends( Ofcourse, we can acheive this by having Field3,Field4 and Field5 as blank columns in Table 2 but I don't wanna do that as my original tables are too huge to handle this).
I have a stored procedure that appends data from a temp table to a destination table. The procedure is called from an aspx web page. The destination table has an index on certain fields so as to not allow duplicates. The issue I'm having is if the imported data contains some records that are unique and some that would be duplicate, the procedure stops and no records are appended. How can I have this procedure complete it's run, passing over the duplicates and appending the unique records? Since the data is in a temp table (which gets deleted after each append) should I run some sort of 'find duplicates' query, and delete the duplicates from the temp table first, then append to the destination table? Thanks in advance.SMc
What I would LIKE to do is noted in the subject line. What I'm findingis that "edit SQL" appears to only be an option if I am creating atable. If I select "append to" the option to edit SQL shades itself asunavailable.The reason I'd like this is that there is a datum in the flat file thatindicates whether that record should be appended to that table notedabove. There are other ways of dealing with this "problem" but it wouldbe nice to be able to control it using SQL, in the DTS import/exportwizard.If the source of my data is an SQL table, I can generate an SQL queryto specify what fields to import in an append, to check for existingvalues, etc...Is there a way around this? I can reserve a table for data transfers,regularly overwrite it with new data from text file inputs, and use SQLto insert select fields from that transfer table to other databasetables. (From this "transfer" table, data needs to be inserted intofour separate tables in our database).I hope this is clear. If it CAN'T be done this way, it's okay...just alittle ugly with the need to re-create the transfer table.
What would be the steps to create a SSIS job to append records from an ODBC table to a SQL table, adding only the records from the source that do not already exist in the destination?
I have another post on this subject, with a good suggestion for the approach, but I need some more detailed instructions for implementing it:
Have you considered to use a Lookup task in your data flow to check if the row already exists in the destination table and then use the error output (no matches) for inserting only non existing rows? Notice that the error output of the lookup task needs to be set as 'redirect rows' in order to get this behavior
Hi, I have two view (Run1OnlyFailures and Run2OnlyFailures). THey share exact same columes. Run1OnlyFailures has three records and Run2OnlyFailures has 5 records. Is there any way that I could put all 8 (3+5) records into a third view BothRunFailures, which share the same columns defination as Run1OnlyFailures and Run2OnlyFailures?
I have created a data warehouse that pulls information from an ODBC source into a SQL database. The schema in the destination matches the source, and the packages clear the destination tables, then append all the records from the source. This is simpler than updating, appending new, and deleting on each table to get them in sync since there is no modify timestamp in the source.
There are cases where I just want to append records from the source table that do not already exist in the destination table, without clearing the destination table first.
How can this be done with a SSIS job? Also, how can the job be run from a Windows Forms application?
I have a table of Customers & their data in about 20 Columns.
I have another table that has potential Customers with 3 Columns.
I want to append the records from Table 2 onto Table 1 to the Columns with the same names.
I've thought of using UNION ALL or Select Insert but I'm mainly stuck on the most efficient way to do this.
There is also no related field that can be used to join the data as these Customers in table 2 have no Customer ID yet as they're only potential Customers.
Can I just append the 3 columns from Table 2 to the same 3 columns in table 1?
I am wanting to make a query to find out if there are any columns in a table that are null for all records.
So far I am using a cursor that holds all the column names of that table and then a stored procedure that would use a loop to cycle through all the column names in a query to essentially count the number of nulls for each column and then an If statement to check to see if the #of nulls = to the number of records.
What isn't working is my query to count the number of nulls...Here is my query
select count(*) from XYZ where @cName is null
Ive tried declaring cName as a sysname, and varchar, neither work.
Also, I've tried using COL_NAME(OBJECT_ID('XYZ'), someColumnIndx)...I think this would be the better choice just because I wouldn't need to use a cursor, but both aren't working. I am a bit new to MSSQL and don't know my way around the system tables. Is there a sys table that would give me this info so I wouldn't need to perform a query?
I'm currently running the following statement that is used in a CrystalReport. Basically, a record is returned when the T_PAYMENT.amounthas a record in the database based on the value of the T_MULTILIST.codefield. Currently, if there is no record returned, there is no listingin the report for the given T_MULTILIST.code.The user now wants a record to be displayed on the report when there isno record in the database - she wants it to display a value of '$0'for the given T_MULTILIST.code record. I tried to explain the fact thatis not possible the way things stand at the moment.

Strange one here - I am posting this in both SQL Server and Access forums
Access is telling me it can't append any of the records due to a key violation.
The query:
INSERT INTO dbo_Colors ( NameColorID, Application, Red, Green, Blue ) SELECT Colors_Access.NameColorID, Colors_Access.Application, Colors_Access.Red, Colors_Access.Green, Colors_Access.Blue FROM Colors_Access;
Colors_Access is linked from another MDB and dbo_Colors is linked from SQL Server 2000.
There are no indexes or foreign contraints on the SQL table. I have no relationships on the dbo_ table in my MDB. The query works if I append to another Access table. The datatypes all match between the two tables though the dbo_ tables has two additional fields not refrenced in the query.
I can manually append the records using cut and paste with no problems.
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[SUM_COUNT] } ON COLUMNS, TopCount ( Filter ( {[DIM].[NAME].[NAME]}, [Measures].[SUM_COUNT] <> 0 ) , 10, [Measures].[SUM_COUNT] ) ON ROWS FROM [USAGE]
where <criteria>
I want to show the topmost 10 records. For some criteria I get the results in the chart.
But for some criteria or say for wrong criteria, there are no records. In such a case the X-axis contains all values for {[DIM].[NAME].[NAME] and value for the Y-axis is all 0. Its kind of blank report it will restrict to 10 records.
In such a scenario I want to show a message to the user saying "No records found", which I have set in the No Rows property of the chart.
If I remove the TopCount clause then I get the above message, which is obvious.
So how do I acheive the same message but at the same time limiting the records to 10?
How can I acheive this in my scenario? Can something be done at the query end?
Hi all I am having some issues in selecting items from my database where the record is NOT NULL. I have the code below however although some fields do contain soem data in it, others are blank which I believe are empty spaces. How do I do a SELECT command which ignores empty spaces and NULLS?

SELECT CustomSearch FROM OfficesTable WHERE CustomSearch IS NOT NULL Thanks, Onam.
Is there a way to do so on the fly in SQL Server 2000? In other words, a field has the latest update date for the table and we wish to use this date as part of the table name. If so, please provide an example.
How to I make it so that a Authenticated User to a website can append a record to a SQL table. I have watched the video on the asp.net website about using database on a web, it shows how to allow a user to change a record in a database, but nothing I have seen so far shows how they can append a record.
What I am trying to do: I am building a website for a ATV club using Visual Studio 2005 and c#. I am setting up users or members on the site (club members will have a user account, while all others will be un-authenticated users. I am setting up a classifieds area where members can post items for sale, items they are looking for, etc.
I am planning to use roles to allow authenticated users access to a webpage located in a restricted directory. There I want to place a XHTML page which would allow the users to post their classified ads for free. I will have another page that will allow everyone to view the ads not just club members. I want to make this as easy to maintain as possible. I don’t plan on having all the postings come through me to be placed on the web, I want it all automated.
Im creatting an SSIS project that uses an Data Flow OLE DB Source to read data from an SQL Table and import it into a Destination table using Data Flow OLE DB Destination. but now everytime I run the project it appends all the rows not the new data rows only. How can I make the application so that it appends only the new data from a source table to a destination table. Is there maybe another Data Flow Control that can copy source table to destination and the next time it runs it only copy new rows. or any other way to do this using SSIS.
I am facing a strange problem in executing stored procedure. Basically my sproc will take a values from Java application and create a Insert statement. see stored procedure below.Just to give some more background- I am re writing the procedure which was written in oracle already.
Problem I am facing now is with the statement below . When I execute the procedure for first time it works fine however when I execute for second time onwards it is setting to empty. Not sure what is the problem with my declaration and setting up with values. For reference I have pasted my complete stored procedure code below.
I was wondering if there was a different approach I should take in appending data to a table...
My destination table has about 94+ million records in it, and I have been taking two approaches to getting new files into this table:
1) I do a data pump task in a DTS to import the file to a trans (temp) table, which is truncated every time, and then do an INSERT INTO statement from the temp table to my destination table.
The import to the trans table only takes a few minutes (about 1 - 2 million records per file, but have short record lenghts,) but when I do the INSERT INTO statement, it takes upwards of 6 hrs to append.
2) I have tried doing a bulk insert task, going directly to the destination table (which defeats the purpose of my trans table to check out the data prior, but I feel the data is clean at this point.)
I am running the bulk insert right now, and it's been running for over 3 hours...so I'm going to assume this will take just as long as the INSERT INTO statement does like I did before.
My destination table does not have any indexes in it at all, and I don't need to do any transformations to the data when bringing it into SQL since the data is clean. Also, I have a default value constraint on one of my fields on the destination table.
Plus there are other ppl and applications hitting the server which could impact the overall processing, but nothing out of the ordinary is going on the server today. I know there are only so many ways to get a file into a table...but maybe someone knows a different way I should try this.
I'm new to SQL server. I want to add or append a unique set of rows to a destination table from a source table, they are essentially the same table by definition. The source table is updated every hour via DTS, all rows deleted and new set added. Both tables have the same primary key. Approximately 40 unique rows are created each hour and I would think the best approach would be to append the new rows to the destination table. I think an Append query will run into a primary key conflict.
In Access, I did this within VB by checking the max value of the primary key and then running the append for any values greater than that.
In SQL, I'm not sure if this should be done as a stored procedure or if there is an easier approach altogether.
I have a series of .csv files created by a parts system. The .csv filename is in the format partnumber.csv The csv file contains a date column and 6 other fields. Each csv file is about 4000 records and there are approx 7000 .csv files that get re-generated once a week.
I'm using c# SqlBulkCopy object to import the csv file into a temp table. No problem there. It works realy fast.
What I need now is a way to move the data from the temp table to the final table and append the partnumber. I'm thinking it would be easy to pass the partnumber in as a paramerter to a t-sql query but not sure how to write the query itself. I also want to check if the partnuber/datestamp combination from the temp table already exists in the final table and skip it if it does. So I suppose I ultimately need an update query.
Once I have that query written it's easy to import a .csv, launch the update query, wipe the temp table and repeat with the next .csv file.
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.

I want to append the column to the transaction table(60 million records in it.) ..
Our transaction table is being used in production.. but i have very less amount of time ..
Instead of alter table.. (IF we use the alter to take backup of table and do the processing it will take more time). Is there any way to append the column to the transaction table ..
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).
I have 1 table with a huge amount of data that I recive from someone else in a flat file format. I want to be able to filter through that data and scrub it and find out the good data and bad data from it.
I'm scrubbing the data using different stored procs that i've created and through a web interface that the user can pick which records they wish to create.
If I were to create a new table for clean records, what is the syntax to keep Appending to that table through the data that i'm obtainig via the stored procs that i've created.
Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appriciated in advance
