I have two tables in the same SQL database. Both have a similar numeric
field. One field has the same number as the other field but is prefixed
with various letters. I know how to use LIKE but won't know the partial
string I am looking for. I am trying to use LIKE '%' + Field A or
something that will do this.
Eg.
Table 1 Field A is 'A12345"
Table 2 Field B is '12345"
I want to find every record in Table 1 Field A that contains the exact
Field B data.

Hi,I m searching for some Script / Function ... to find difference in datab/w 2 similar tables (exactly same fields structure) in sql 2000.plz update me asap !thanks in advance !
I have a table that I am basically reduplicating a couple of times for each part of this database that I want to create.Each table basically has the same data: The tables will be called motherTable, fatherTable, sonTable, daughterTable and so on.I am pretty much using the following in each column: UserID, MotherID(or FatherID or SonID, etc., etc. and so on for each unique table), FirstName, LastName, MiddleName, BirthPlace, Photo, Age.I don't see an option to copy a table and just modify the second ID part and rename that table accordingly.How can I make this an easier way of creating these similar tables without retyping all these columns over and over again?Thanks in advance.
There are more than hundred tables, so i wanna automate this. i am tryin to do this in a cursor: please guide!
declare @name VARCHAR (50) declare cur cursor fast_forward for select name from sysobjects where type='u' and status not like '-%' open cur WHILE (1=1) BEGIN FETCH NEXT FROM cur INTO @name IF @@fetch_status = 0 BEGIN ALTER TABLE @name ADD created_by [VARCHAR] (25) GO ALTER TABLE @name ADD created_by [VARCHAR] (25) GO ALTER TABLE @name ADD created_date [DATETIME] GO ALTER TABLE @name ADD modified_by [VARCHAR] (25) GO ALTER TABLE @name ADD modified_date [DATETIME] END ELSE BREAK END DEALLOCATE cur
I also want that if one column for a table exists; the other columns should be created rather than it quits.

I am having some probelms getting script to give me the first and last date a customer had an outstanding item. The data is as follows:
Customer StartDate EndDate A 4/1/04 4/15/04 A 4/15/04 5/1/04 A 5/1/04 5/15/04 A 5/16/04 5/28/04 A 5/28/04 6/5/04 B 5/1/04 5/15/04 B 5/16/04 5/20/04
The results I am looking for would be as follows:
Customer A : Outstanding 4/1/04 - 5/15/04 Customer A : Outstanding 5/16/04 - 5/28/04 (Theres a one day gap between prior sting, so this would be a new string ) Customer B : OUtstanding 5/1/04 - 5/15/04 Customer B : Outstanding 5/16/04 - 5/20/04
I want to include any strings where the start of one item and the end of another are on the same day as one continuis string. Any ideas on how to do this??
For every table in my database there is a duplicate table with same columns. For example, employee is the name of main table, there is employee_dup table in same database.
There is only one column extra in _dup tables i.e.,idn column.
Now, I want to know all the columns present in main table which are not present in corresponding _dup table. There might be a chance of missing one or two columns in _dup tables. So i want a query to find out all the columns present in main table that are not present in hx table.
I am trying to write an SQL command for my crystal report. I need to compare the same column in 3different tables & get the data from each table for only the matching data.. I understand I need to create a temporary table, get the data into it & then work around.. I am quite new to SQL.
Eg: Considering one customer account Table 1 Cust.No Name Amt_Counter AmtPaid 123.456 sam 0 0 123.456 sam 1 50
Table 2 Cust.No Name Freq_Counter Frequency 123.456 sam 1 0 123.456 sam 2 15
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Select * from Details where Emp_Code in (" + selectedValues + ")", con);
I want to join a table called Materials to this now. Material table also has an Emp_Code column. How can I write a select sql query to fetch Emp_Code from both Details and Materials table.
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select D.Emp_Code, M.Emp_Code from Details D, Materials M where D.Emp_Code = M.Emp_Code in (" + selectedValues + ")", con);

What I am working with unfortunately is a very poorly designed and non-normalized database. Please don't criticize the design. I didn't design it, but I have to write queries against it.I have 2 tables. 1 is called EnterVolume. The other is ExitVolume. Similar columns exist in each.
The rules of the database state that for every EnterVolume row (for a given TrialID, SBOINumber, and OwnerBOI) there must be a corresponding ExitVolume row in the ExitVolume table.What I need to do is to capture the paired TimeOfEvent entries from each table for each paired row. Nothing says that an SBOI cannot enter and exit a OwnerBOI's volume several times during the same Trial.Every time a SBOI Enters an OwnerBOI's volume during a certain trial, a row is created in the EnterVolume table. And Likewise when Exiting a OwnerBOI's volume during a certain trial, a row is created in the ExitVolume table.
So here is a query that I attempted, but gave undesirable results:
SELECT EV.TimeOfEvent AS [Enter Time], XV.TimeOfEvent AS ExitTime FROM IntegratedTest1.EventPortion.EventEnterVolume AS EV INNER JOIN IntegratedTest1.EventPortion.EventExitVolume AS XV ON EV.TrialID = XV.TrialID AND EV.SBOINumber = XV.SBOINumber AND EV.OwnerBOI = XV.OwnerBOI
Here is some sample data:
EnterVolume TrialID SBOI OwnerBOI TimeOfEvent 1 A D 5 1 A D 2000
I am using SQL 2005 merge replication with a publisher managing about 45 articles(tables) with about 10 subscribers (remote servers). The problem is that we had to re-start replication from scratch and noticed that, although the publisher's tables have the default values, the subscribers did not get the default values with the initial snap shot, schema building..?!?
I now have to go over 450 tables (10 remotes SQl servers at 45 tables each) and 'reset or set' over 1,000 default values. Meanwhile, the system is down...omg...so not good.
Is there a script out there that automatically extracts the default values from a table and set it to another exact table with the same structure? any ideas?
I have two tables in my database called CartItems and OrderItems. Istore all of a session's shopping cart items in the CartItems tableusing the sessionID as the identifier (called cartID in my DB). Afteran order is placed and is approved, I would like to copy all of theitems in the CartItems table for that given cartID to the OrderItemstable given a new orderID.I will know the cartID and orderID ahead of time and would like tosend them both into a stored procedure and have the transfer takeplace.Example:take this data...CartItems (table)--------------------------------------cartID | itemID | quantity | price--------------------------------------12345 2 1 12.9512345 7 2 17.95and make it this data...OrderItems (table)--------------------------------------orderID | itemID | quantity | price--------------------------------------00001 2 1 12.9500001 7 2 17.95via some stored procedure that I send (@cartID,@orderID)Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
It seems that there should be a solution for my situation, but for the life of me I can't seem to figure it out.
I need to compare two "like" tables, containing similar data. Tbl 1 is "BOOKED" (which is a snapshot of inventory) and tbl 2 is "CURRENT" (the live - working inventory table). If I write my query as follows the the subsequent result is "duplicate" data.
Code Block SELECT booked.item, booked.bin, booked.quantity, current.bin, current.quantity FROM BOOKED LEFT JOIN CURRENT ON booked.item = current.item
No matter what type of join I use, there is duplicate data displayed for each table. For example, if there are more bins in the BOOKED table that contain a certain product then the CURRENT table will repeat data and vica versa.
As follows:
Item Bin Quantity Bin Quantity
12345 A01 500 A01 7680
12345 B01 6 A01 7680
12345 C01 20 A01 7680
54321 G10 1032 E15 1163
54321 G10 1032 F20 523
54321 G10 1032 H30 750
98765 Z20 7000 Z20 8500
98765 Y15 2500 Y15 3000
98765 X10 1200 Y15 3000
What I would like to do is display Bin and Quantity only once and the repeating values as NULL or [BLANK]. Or, to display all of the bins from both tables and only the quantities from each table in relation to the bin found in that table, returning a "0" if no quantity exists.
This is what I'm after:
Item Bin Quantity Bin Quantity
12345 A01 500 A01 7680
12345 B01 6 B01 0
12345 C01 20 C01 0
54321 G10 1032 E15 1163
54321 F20 0 F20 523
54321 H30 0 H30 750
98765 Z20 7000 Z20 8500
98765 Y15 2500 Y15 3000
98765 X10 1200 X10 0
Is this possible? If so, how?
I also might add that it is ok for each table to contain multiple entries for any given item. This is basically being requested as an inventory variance report - inventory before physical count and immediatly after physical count - and will only be run once a year.
----------------------------------------------- Just thinking out loud here: What if I created three subqueries, the first containing only BOOKED information, the second containing only CURRENT information and the third being a UNION of both tables? Something like this:
Code Block SELECT q3.bin, q1.item, ISNULL(q1.quantity, 0) as QTY_BEFORE, ISNULL(q2.quantity, 0) as QTY_AFTER
FROM
(select item, bin, quantity from BOOKED)q1 Left Join
(select item, bin, quantity from CURRENT)q2 on q1.item = q2.item Left Join
(select bin, item from BOOKED UNION CURRENT)q3 on q1.item = q3.item
Order By q1.item
I don't know if I wrote the UNION statement correctly, but I will have to try this when I get back to work...
I tried all the INFORMATION_SCHEMA on SQL 2000 andI see that the system tables hold pretty much everything I aminterested in: Objects names (columns, functions, stored procedures, ...)stored procedure statements in syscomments table.My questions are:If you script your whole database everything you end up havingin the text sql scripts, are those also located in the system tables?That means i could simply read those system tables to get any informationI would normally look in the sql script files?Can i quickly generate a SQL statement of all the indexes on my database?I read many places that Microsoftsays not to modify anything in those tables and not query them since theirstructure might change in future SQL versions.Is it safe to use and rely the system tables?I basically want to do at least fetching of information i want from thesystem tables rather than the SQL script files.I also want to know if it's pretty safe for me to make changes in thesetables.Can i rename an object name for example an Index name, a Stored Procedurename?Can i add a new column in the syscolumns table for a user table?Thank you
I have a situation where I want to pull strings from one table of a SQL 2000database and find matches for it in other tables of the same database andhave those values returned. i.e. In one table I have prospects and I wantto match their names to a table that stores the names of prospects turnedinto customers. I want to write a query that looks through every entry andreturns a match for each corresponding value (from prospects to customers).So if "Smith" is found in prospects I want SQL to return "Smith" incustomers with full contact info.Any pointers on getting started on this is greatly appreciated. Or if youcould just point me to a reference. Obviously, I need to do some kind ofparsing. I just need to be pointed in the right direction.Thx.
I have many tables that have as one of its keys POLICY_NUMBER is there a way to write a script that will look in all tables in a db for a certain POLICY_NUMBER
I modified my origianl script (used a cursor) to use a looping method I saw in a different thread http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=30286 by Nigel Rivett. Since I used code on this board I though I would post back for the greater SQL Team script toolbox. Feel free to use it to catch those deliquent sql programmers who forget to create a PK. Enjoy.

I am brand new to using SQL. I created a DB with a bunch of tables there. What I would like to do is from my VB.NET application I would like to allow the user to see what tables are available in that DB.
Also I need a way to check if a table exists. I used the following:
strTemp = "IF EXISTS " & _ "(SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'simplesql') AND type in (N'U'))" cmd.Connection = conncmd.CommandType = CommandType.Textcmdcmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
but I get an exception : Incorrect syntax near ')'
Is there any way i can find some certain fields in the whole database? like i know a column called Type_ID in table Sys_Type, how can i know there are same Type_ID column in other tables? Thanks in advance.
Dear friends, is there any way to find the table names from a view?
ex: suppose i have a view named as vorganization.i need all the tables in this view. is it possible to get through a query? same case for procedures and functions also.........
I have a database with 150 tables. I need to find connections between specified tables. (I need to find through what fileds and tables are table1 and table2 connected) Is there any tool in SQL Server for this?
We have inventory table which is updated everyday. I need to find the gap between updated table vs history (which means yesterday's data). what i did is I just copy the inventory everyday before it is updated. So, whenver inventory table is updated I want to know the gap between these two (history vs updated) tables.
The structure of two tables are same and here are columns: date_key (fk) store_key(fk) item_key(fk) begin_inventory_dollars ending_inventory_dollars begin_inventory_units ending_inventory_units
I want to compare each row and if the value is changed I want to have a gap (updated value - history value) and if data is new then just want to add.
Here is tsql: however when I compare to gap between table from excel spreadsheet and this query, this query does not return a right value. (Some are correct but some don't)
Code Snippet select a.date_date_key, sum(a.Beg_Inventory_Dollars- (case when b.beg_inventory_dollars is NULL then 0 else b.Beg_Inventory_Dollars end)),
sum(a.Beg_Inventory_Units-(case when b.beg_Inventory_Units is NULL then 0 else b.beg_Inventory_Units end)) ,
sum(a.Ending_Inventory_Dollars- (case when b.Ending_Inventory_Dollars is NULL then 0 else b.Ending_Inventory_Dollars end)),
Sum(a.Ending_Inventory_Units-(case when b.Ending_Inventory_units is NULL then 0 else b.Ending_Inventory_Units end))
from UPDATED TABLE a
left outer join HISTORY TABLE b
on b.item_key = a.item_key and
b.store_key =a.store_key and
b.date_key =a.date_key
group by a.fisc_date_key
Did I miss something in here? Any kind of advice would be grealy appreciated. Thanks.
I need a query to find max serial number by comparing two different tables. Here is my requirementI am having two tables named Table1 and Table2. Each tables having more than 30,000,000 records.I want a simple query to find Max srno from two tables.For exampleIf Table1 max is 245 where partno=2 and ano=2and Table2 max is 343 where partno=2 and ano=2Then 343 is max serial noIf Table1 max is 435 where partno=2 and ano=2and Table2 max is 34 where partno=2 and ano=2Then 435 is max serial noI used this query but its taking more time select max(v.MaxSrNo) from ((select max(MaxSrNo) as MaxSrNo from Table1 where partno=@partno and ano=@ano)union all (select max(MaxSrNo) from Table2 where partno=@partno and ano=@ano)) as v Pls give me a simple query to find max srno.
