Help Deleting Multiple Lines In A Table
Feb 28, 2007
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,
- MT

I am in doubt if its possible to make a select statement which enables me to consolidate multiple lines in the same table.
I have a table with a lot of companies and figures for each company.
Some of the companies owns some of the other companies in the table and in reverse, some of the companies are owned by some of the companies in the table.
I have a lot of columns, but basically the most important columns are:
Company Name, Company Mother , Company Daughter.
Each company has also a revenue column.
What I want to do is to consolidate all figures for absolute mothers e.i. companies which are not owned by another company in the list.
I therefore need a select statement which says something like:
Get the revenue of companies not owned by another company (e.i. absolute mother). Add to this, the revenue of all its daughters. Add to this the revenue of all the daughters daughters etc. until there are no daughters left.
In other words - aggregate the revenue for all the companies in the group under the name of the ultimate parent company.
I can easily select and add the revenue for the first level of direct daughters, but I dont know how many more daughters the daughters has etc.

Basically remove any line that start with a "#" or any blank lines..
I am assuming you can do this only using a script component and not directly through ssis..but i am not too familiar with scripting...so some code would be helpful
Thanks for any help in advance.

How can I run through an array of ID's and delete the fields associated to it in a single table? I have a lot of bad data that needs to be removed. BTW, I'm using the SQL Server Management Studio to do this.
I'm currently doing by hand by using the following.
USE database;
DECLARE @id integer
SET @id = XXXXX
DELETE FROM table WHERE id = @id;
I would like to use the same code but with a slight variation to support an array.

I need to, ultimately, create a flatfile for exporting insurance information to a third-party vendor. Each individual is to have no more than 1 line per file, which contains their coverage information, if any, on 4 different type of insurance. What i need is for 2 fields in a table to determine the output for multiple fields in the flatfile.
What I have so far works, to an extent. If I have insurance types 1, 2, 4 (of types 1-4) required output is (__ = 2 blank spaces):
1A 1B 1C 1D 1E 2A 2B 2C 2D 2E 3A 3B 3C 3D 3E 4A 4B 4C 4D 4E
== == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == ==
Y N __ MD XX Y N __ MD XX N __ __ __ __ Y N __ DN XX
If they have coverage, A always = Y, B always = N, C always = blank(null), D is their ins. type, E is their cov. type(CASE statement). if they DON'T have that type of coverage, A always = N and the remaining field are NULL.
After a lot of work, and scouring a forum or 2, I attempted a whole lot of CASE functions. Below is an sample of code representing the 1x statements. This same code is repeated 4 times with the 1x being altered with 2x, 3x, 4x.
CASE HB.PLAN_TYPE
WHEN '10' THEN 'Y'
ELSE 'N' END AS 1A,
CASE HB.PLAN_TYPE
WHEN '10' THEN 'N'
ELSE ' ' END AS 1B,
' ' AS 1C,
CASE HB.PLAN_TYPE
WHEN '10' THEN HB.BENEFIT_PLAN
ELSE ' ' END AS 1D,
CASE HB.PLAN_TYPE
WHEN '10' THEN (CASE WHEN HB.COVRG_CD ='1' THEN 'XX'
WHEN HB.COVRG_CD ='2' THEN 'YY'
WHEN HB.COVRG_CD ='3' THEN 'ZZ'
ELSE 'WW' END)
ELSE ' ' END AS 1E,
It works to an extent. While the desires/required output it above, the output this produces (same scenario) is:
1A 1B 1C 1D 1E 2A 2B 2C 2D 2E 3A 3B 3C 3D 3E 4A 4B 4C 4D 4E
== == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == ==
Y N __ MD XX N __ __ __ __ N __ __ __ __ N __ __ __ __
1A 1B 1C 1D 1E 2A 2B 2C 2D 2E 3A 3B 3C 3D 3E 4A 4B 4C 4D 4E
== == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == ==
N __ __ __ __ Y N __ MD XX N __ __ __ __ N __ __ __ __
1A 1B 1C 1D 1E 2A 2B 2C 2D 2E 3A 3B 3C 3D 3E 4A 4B 4C 4D 4E
== == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == ==
N __ __ __ __ N __ __ __ __ N __ __ __ __ Y N __ DN XX
While there is supposed to be 1 line, regardless of number of insurance types, it only produces 1 line per type. I first tried this in Access, and was able to get it to work, but it required multiple queries resulting in a crosstab, export to Excel and manually manipulate the data, export to text file to manipulate, import back into Excel to manipulate, import back into Access and finally export into a flatfile. Far too much work to produce a file which is why I'm trying to convert it to raw SQL.
Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I am working on conversion of Crystal reports to SSRS. The existing report has two level of grouping. So I have included 2 list inside a third list and then done the grouping. Is there another way to do multiple grouping ? Every thing is working fine except for getting one extra blank page at the end of report with only header and footer. I have properly checked the body height and width and page margins. It has something to do with list but i cant figure out what.

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.

(case when type = '1' then sum(value) else '0' end) as Value1,

We are using a table that may give 1 to and unknown number of data elements (ie. years) . How can we break this to show only three years in each row. Since we don't know the number years we really won't know the number of rows needed. Years are stored in their own table by line.
car make year1 year2 year3
A volare 1995 1996 1997
a volare 1997 1998 1999
b toyat 1965 1966 1968
We can pivot out the first X# but we don't know how many lines so we don't know how many rows we will be creating.

I need to delete multiple sql logins on one of my database servers that are no longer needed. Most of these logins are not attached to any database on the server because the database has been deleted from this server. Is there any way to delete logins that are no longer needed without having to review every login to verify it is not attached to a database before deleting?

Hi,
How do you delete multiple packages at once ?
We have a folder in SSIS called ETL and there are about 25 SSIS packages in it.
Now we need to update it.
I tried to delete the folder but you get the message that the folder is not empty.
So I renamed the folder to ETL_old and my deployement works fine.
But now I want to get rid of all the old folders. Delete a folder didn't work.
Selecting multiple packages doesn't work.
To delete a single one you select the package, right click and select delete, click yes.
But then I have to do it 25 times. I was unable to set a short cut with the keyboard for that action.
Any ideas ?

want to delete rows from two tables after a join.
in Access, here's something we can do:
delete table_A.*, table_B.*
from table_A left join table_B on ...
but in ms sql, it appears (to me) that you can only delete from one table at a time. how would i accomplish what i want to do?
also, is there a distinctrow equivalent in ms sql server? thanks

I have two tables. OrderDetails and StockTransactions
OrderDetails contains:
Item, Description, QtyOrdered
StockTransactions contains:
OrderDetailID, ActionType, Qty, Date
I would like to create a view as follows:
View:
Item, Description, QtyOrdered, InStock, ToShip, TotalShipped, Backordered
the first three columns come directly from the OrderDetails table, InStock is computed by finding the sum of Qty of all of the lines in the StockTransactions table for this item. ToShip is a field for the user to enter a value they'd like to ship currently. TotalShipped is the sum of what is in the ToShip box and all previous entries in the StockTransactions table related to the current OrderDetail record. Backordered is computed by taking ToShip and subtracting InStock (if the value is a negative number, then display zero).
The objective is to create a user friendly way to enter lines into the OrderDetailsTable. the values place by the user in the Qty field for the items listed in front of them should be saved as entried in the StockTransactions table with ActionType = 1.
I'm not sure if a view is the best way to go about this.
Any comments or suggestions?

Hi,
I'm using ASP with a JScript variant and MSSQL Server 2000. I would like to write a script that basically erases all data except for a few things.
Is there a way to update multiple tables at once without having to write lines and lines of code? I tried UPDATE tbl1,tbl2 SET uid='asc', but to no avail. It gave me a syntax error. My thinking behind it is something like... UPDATE dbo.* SET uid='mferguson' and after that I can delete stuff like DELETE dbo.*... Any ideas?
I know the above is ASP, I've tried this thread in the ASP forum with no avail... they referred me to this forum.

Hi All
I'm new to sql server. I have built simple database apps using MFC CRecordset over MS Access. I'm tying to learn about SQL server by building a simple app using MFC CRecordset in Visual Studio 2005.
The problem I have is within SQL Server Management studio experess. I have a table called OriginalDrawings that looks like this
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[OriginalDrawings](
[DrawingID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[OriginalFileName] [varchar](50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL,
[PartNumber] [varchar](50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL,
[SheetNumber] [int] NULL,
[Revision] [varchar](50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL,
[OriginalDirectory] [varchar](100) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL,
[DrawingCategory] [int] NOT NULL,
[ProductFamily] [int] NOT NULL,
[IsSalvage] [bit] NULL,
[FileSize] [int] NULL,
[DataQueryFlag] [bit] NOT NULL,
[DataQueryCode] [int] NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_OriginalDrawings] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[DrawingID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
I've loaded it with 40,000 records from my test app. If I open it in SSMSE hit Ctrl-A to select all and then press delete SSMSE appears to hang - it freezes for 10 mins+ (after which I restart my PC. I can delete 1000 records at a time OK, I can delete all quite quickly from my test app by walking through the recordset and deleting each record.
Does anyone know why it appears to hang when I try the delete all?
Thanks

I'm new to relational database concepts and designs, but what i've learned so far has been helpful. I now know how to select certain records from multiple tables using joins, etc. Now I need info on how to do complete deletes. I've tried reading articles on cascading deletes, but the people writing them are so verbose that they are confusing to understand for a beginner. I hope someone could help me with this problem.
I have sql server 2005. I use visual studio 2005. In the database I've created the following tables(with their column names):
Table 1: Classes --Columns: ClassID, ClassName
Table 2: Roster--Columns: ClassID, StudentID, Student Name
Table 3: Assignments--Columns: ClassID, AssignmentID, AssignmentName
Table 4: Scores--StudentID, AssignmentID, Score
What I can't seem to figure out is how can I delete a class (ClassID) from Classes and as a result of this one deletion, delete all students in the Roster table associated with that class, delete all assignments associated with that class, delete all scores associated with all assignments associated with that class in one DELETE sql statement.
What I tried to do in sql server management studio is set the ClassID in Classes as a primary key, then set foreign keys to the other three tables. However, also set AssignmentID in Table 4 as a foreign key to Table 3.
The stored procedure I created was
DELETE FROM Classes WHERE ClassID=@classid
I thought, since I established ClassID as a primary key in Classes, that by deleting it, it would also delete all other rows in the foreign tables that have the same value in their ClassID columns. But I get errors when I run the query. The error said:
The DELETE statement conflicted with the REFERENCE constraint "FK_Roster_Classes1". The conflict occurred in database "database", table "dbo.Roster", column 'ClassID'.
The statement has been terminated.
What are reference constraints? What are they talking about? Plus is the query correct? If not, how would I go about solving my problem. Would I have to do joins while deleting?
I thought I was doing a cascade delete. The articles I read kept insisting that cascade deletes are deletes where if you delete a record from a parent table, then the rows in the child table will also be deleted, but I get the error.
Did I approach this right? If not, please show me how, and please, please explain it like I'm a four year old.
Further, is there something else I need to do besides assigning primary keys and foreign keys?

Hello all,
I have been unable to get the black vertical lines in a table to render properly, based on the following....
I'm developing a report that requires the following:
1. One group with the group header section having a BackgroundColor of "LightGrey". (any color other than "Transparent")
2. The details section of the report has a Bottom border with the same color as step #1.
3. The table should have black vertical borderlines that seperate some of the columns. The lines should run the length of the table.
The black lines look like they're being overlapped by both the GroupHeader BackgroundColor and the details section bottom border.
Has anyone been able to implement a similar report successfully?
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
I have a relational database with the primary table, table01. And 2 child/foreign tables, table02 and table03. All 3 tables shared the same key - [ID].
I am not sure if this is the correct approach but I am trying to create a stored procedure where if I were to delete a the row in table01 (primary), the procedure will automatically delete the common row in both table02 and table03.
I have come up with something like that but it does not seems to be correct.
CREATE PROCEDURE [sp_delete_test01_1] (@id [int])
AS
DELETE [test01] DELETE [test02] DELETE [test03]
WHERE ( [id] = @id)GO
Your advise please. Many Thanks.

i have a database sturcture :

What i want is to delete one customer from the tbl_Customer table, and automatically delete all the child orders to that customer.
i could by using loops, look through all the childs and delete the records one by one and the customer last.
so i wounder if there are an SQL state that automatically look up childs and drop them all by calling an stored procedure.

408203492011-12-122012-07-03--not a continuous date range
For this id: 0793319, my beginning date is 2012-09-04
108203492014-09-022015-06-30
For this id: 0820349, my beginning date is 2014-09-02
To find continuous date, you look at the beginning date in row 1 and end date in row 2, then if no break in dates, row 2 beginning date to row 3 end date, if no break continue until last date There could multiple dates up to 12 which I have to check for "no break" in dates, if break, display beginning date of last continuous date.

Hello!
I've been playing around with local reports for a while now. Trying to convert alot (about 800) reports made in a custom format(not XML) to the .RDLC used in MS Reports. I've been able to solve most converting problems by first figuring out how to make the different appearances of the report editor and testing, and afterwards implementing these in my converter program and testing until it makes the desired appearance on screen. Unfortunately I haven't been able to design all the reports similar to the originals(with the editor), so I was hoping somone here might be able to help me with this.
I'm trying to make a box around my table(the repeating part in the body) but find it kind of hard to do this. There are alot of data and the box should be on every page(I really hope this is possible).
I have made a simple report with a header and footer. In the header I have some textboxes and a horizontal line at the bottom. In the footer I have a horizontal line at the top, and som text at the bottom. This was intended for making the top and bottom lines in my 'box'. The rest of the box is made from two vertical lines, one on each side of the table in the body area of the report. These go down from the top of the body to the bottom.
The height of the header is 1 cm, the height of the body is 24.7 cm and the height of the footer is 4 cm making a total of 29.7cm (standard A4 paper height). Hope someone can help me solving this.
