Help Finding And Updating Dupes In 2 Tables
Oct 13, 2005
Being fairly new to SQL and SQL scripting, I am at a loss on how to proceed on my issue.
I have a MSDE database with 2 tables that need to modified. I am changing to a standard 12 digit code in my PATIENTS table for the field sChartCode nvarchar). That code will be in the form of 110012345678. 1100 will preceed the actual 8 digit chartcode
In the PATIENTS table, the same person may be duplicated many times using vaiations such as 123456, 12345678, 012345678, 12345678 SMITH, 012345678 SMITH. For each of these records, they are linked to the RECORDS db using the field lPatientId (int).
I have already manually updated about 20K records in the RECORDS db which
takes way to many hours of time. New records will be imported at about 10K a week or so and will be over 100K soon. By the way, the SQL server is on the way.
What I am looking for is an easier way to find the records that have not been
converted in the PATIENTS db and see if they match one that has already been converted. If it has, it would need to update all records in the RECORDS db with the correct updated lPatientId and then delete the duplicate record(s) from the PATENTS db. If not, it would only need to add '1100...' to the lPatientId field.
Any help or guidance that anybody can give will be most appreciated.

I have 3 tables, and im doing a join like:
select top 10 thits.fhits as hits, tmain.fheadline as rubrik, tmain.fpubfile as pub
from thits
join tmain on tmain.postid=tHits.postid
join tkeyscat on tkeyscat.postid=tmain.postid
where tkeyscat.fkeycat=60 order by hits desc
Which works great (almost).
The problem is when an article in tmain is cathegorized in more then
one cathegory, so the join tkeyscat on tkeyscat.postid=tmain.postid
might join in more then one result.
Im trying to select the 10 most read articles from tmain/thits where the article is in keycat 60.
How can I solve this?

I am VERY new to SQL and I am having a heck of a time biulding a script to find and remove duplicate entries.
Here is the table structure.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[SecurityEvents](
[EventLog] [varchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[RecordNumber] [int] NULL,
[TimeGenerated] [datetime] NULL,
[TimeWritten] [datetime] NULL,
[EventID] [int] NULL,
[EventType] [int] NULL,
[EventTypeName] [varchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[EventCategory] [int] NULL,
[EventCategoryName] [varchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[SourceName] [varchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[Strings] [varchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[ComputerName] [varchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[SID] [varchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[Message] [varchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[Data] [varchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
This small script seems to eliminate the dupes, but I can't seem to figure out to properly replce the table the with output of the script with all the dupes gone.
select distinct * from dbo.SecurityEventsTest where recordnumber IN
(select recordnumber from dbo.SecurityEvents)
order by recordnumber
Could someone help??
Thank You,

I need to delete all rows that match at least one of the account_id values of another row *and* that has the same email address. However, if they have the same email address and none of the account_id values then I need to keep it. I've attached a sample dataset along with the expected results.
I have this:
DELETE [acctID_emailAddress_tmp] FROM [acctID_emailAddress_tmp]
JOIN
(select emailaddress, account_id, max(contact_id_tmp) max_cid
from [acctID_emailAddress_tmp]
group by emailaddress, account_id) AS tempImportTable
ON tempImportTable.[emailaddress] = [acctID_emailAddress_tmp].[emailaddress]
WHERE [acctID_emailAddress_tmp].[contact_id_tmp] < tempImportTable.[max_cid]
AND tempImportTable.[account_id] = [acctID_emailAddress_tmp].[account_id];
but it doesn't work since it's keeping the subset of the dupe row(s).
Can someone shed some light?
TIA

We have about 60 several tables with order id as a column in all of them . Every day I have to check if certain order id’s exist in the 60 tables. I just need to get the name of the table if it exists. Is there a way to dynamically keep changing the name of the table instead of having all 45 tables in the script?

Here's the situation, developers inherit a web app from someone,backend SQL db has about 120 user tables and the db is also being usedby other apps. Developers don't have a list of user tables being usedby this app, now, I need to create a new db based on this one, whichwould be used by this app only. So, I intend to find all the usertables being used by this app, then copy its schema and possibly dataas well to a new db. FYI, current ERD is not this app.One option to find out all the user tables being used by this app is todo recursive search for FROM and JOIN against the full spectrum of theuncompiled source code, then, weed through such an extracted list whenin doubt about a particular table, one caveat is a portion of code withsql stmt could have already been commented (no longer being used thoughstill in the code).Better option?TIA.

Hello,
I have two tables with the same field layout, and they both have the same field as the Primary Key. They just contain different data. I would like to know if a record exists in one, or both, tables.
The tables are InvTemp1 and SalesTemp1. The key for both is stock_number.
Here is the command so far:
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM InvTemp1 INNER JOIN SalesTemp1 ON InvTemp1.Stock_number = SalesTemp1.Stock_number
WHERE (InvTemp1.Stock_number = '101053')
Thank you for any ideas,
Tom

Does anyone have a good query that would return records from two tables that are found in one, but not it the other table? In my situation I have 2 tables that are duplicate tables and I need to find an additional 3000 records that were added to one of the tables. I also have a composite key so the query would have col1, col2 and col3 as the composite key. So far I have tried concatenating the 3 columns and giving the result an alias and then trying to show the ones that were not in both tables, but have been struggling. Thanks..

Hope this is in the right thread, sorry if not!
I have run into a problem, i need to find out that column(s) in a table that makes the primary key.
I thought that this code did the trick.
***
DECLARE @c varchar(4000), @t varchar(128)
SET @c = ''
SET @t='contact_pmc_contact_relations'
Select @c = @c + c.name + ',' FROM syscolumns c INNER JOIN sysobjects o ON o.id = c.id inner join sysindexkeys k on o.id = k.id WHERE o.name = @t and k.colid = c.colid ORDER BY c.colid
SELECT Substring(@c, 1, Datalength(@c) - 1)
***
This works in most of my cases. But i have encounterd tabels where this code doesn't work.
Here is a dump from one of the tabels where it doesn't work.
SELECT *
FROM sysindexkeys
WHERE (id = 933578364) <--id of the table
***
id indid colid keyno
933578364 1 1 1
933578364 1 2 2
933578364 2 1 1
933578364 3 2 1
933578364 4 3 1
933578364 5 4 1
933578364 6 5 1
933578364 7 6 1
933578364 8 7 1
Not sure if that dump made any sense, but i hope it did.
If i look at the table in SQL Enterprise manager there is no relations, no indexes only my primarykey made up with 2 columns (column id 1 and 2).
So, anyone know how i could solve this problem?
Regards
/Anders

I have a webform contains a list of documents and information about them. What would be the best way to update any changes back to the database where I would need to log each change into an audit table as well.
For example:document changedA YesB NoC Yes
I would need to take this information and update the documents table with the changes from A and C, but ALSO would need TWO entries in my audit log table. One for A and one for C. Is there a quick way to do this or will I need to use loops and/or cursors? I'm trying to find a way that won't kill my performance. Thank you.

Even if indexes are good, isn't there still a performance issue with updates to a very fat table (333 columns and almost 8030 bytes, with over 100,000 rows). We are looking at 300 users updating this table 400-500 times an hour. I had no input on the table design, but I can complain. All the updates are sql, not sp's

Hello I have two tables users and Private I want to be able to view, update, delete info from the two tables from one screen
scenario user logs in to system system stores userID and transfers userID to new table this user id will be used by sql to load only that users details (UserID is PK for users and FK for private) the user will be able to update some of their info. as an admin they will use the same procedure except they will be able to see all members details and add new members using update or delete. I have tried to use a data Sqladaptor to do this but the info will display it will not allow delete update. If I load both tables into separate Sqladaptors they are not in sync anyone have any suggestions

I'm writing a sproc to update a table based on parameters being passed into it. Here is the sproc:
Code Block
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[UpdateLicense]
@VendorId int,
@PoId int,
@LicenseTypeId int,
@LicenseUserId int,
@LocationId int,
@LicenseStartDate smalldatetime,
@DaysAllowed int,
@SerialNum varchar(50),
@ActivationKey varchar(50),
@MaxUsers int,
@Comments varchar(1000),
@LicenseId int
AS
BEGIN
UPDATE license
SET
vendor_id = @VendorId,
po_id = @PoId,
license_type_id = @LicenseTypeId,
lic_user_id = @LicenseUserId,
location_id = @LocationId,
lic_start_date = @LicenseStartDate,
days_allowed = @DaysAllowed,
serial_num = @SerialNum,
activation_key = @ActivationKey,
max_users = @MaxUsers,
comments = @Comments
WHERE license_id = @License_id;
END
When I try to compile this I get the following error:
Error Message
Msg 137, Level 15, State 2, Procedure UpdateLicense, Line 35
Must declare the scalar variable "@License_id".
My first question is what line is line 1? Does the line count include every line, even comments? Becuase, if so, then line 35 is "location_id = @LocationId," which makes no sense to me given the error message about the scalar variable. I am probably missing a comma or something but I cant see it. Anyone?
