Help Simply The Update Statement
Aug 3, 2007
Hello all,
I need some help in simplyfying the following update statement -
update table <table_a> set <col_1> = NULL where <col_1> = 'N/A'
update table <table_a> set <col_2> = NULL where <col_2> = 'N/A'
update table <table_a> set <col_3> = NULL where <col_3> = 'N/A'
update table <table_a> set <col_4> = NULL where <col_4> = 'N/A'
update table <table_a> set <col_5> = NULL where <col_5> = 'N/A'
update table <table_a> set <col_6> = NULL where <col_6> = 'N/A'
update table <table_a> set <col_7> = NULL where <col_7> = 'N/A'
....and there are 73 columns
Anyway I can create a loop or array and store the column name as a parameter and then pass it to the update statement?
Thanks in advance,
Saurav

I am currently having this problem with gridview and detailview. When I drag either onto the page and set my select statement to pick from one table and then update that data through the gridview (lets say), the update works perfectly. My problem is that the table I am pulling data from is mainly foreign keys. So in order to hide the number values of the foreign keys, I select the string value columns from the tables that contain the primary keys. I then use INNER JOIN in my SELECT so that I only get the data that pertains to the user I am looking to list and edit. I run the "test query" and everything I need shows up as I want it. I then go back to the gridview and change the fields which are foreign keys to templates. When I edit the templates I bind the field that contains the string value of the given foreign key to the template. This works great, because now the user will see string representation instead of the ID numbers that coinside with the string value. So I run my webpage and everything show up as I want it to, all the data is correct and I get no errors. I then click edit (as I have checked the "enable editing" box) and the gridview changes to edit mode. I make my changes and then select "update." When the page refreshes, and the gridview returns, the data is not updated and the original data is shown. I am sorry for so much typing, but I want to be as clear as possible with what I am doing. The only thing I can see being the issue is that when I setup my SELECT and FROM to contain fields from multiple tables, the UPDATE then does not work. When I remove all of my JOIN's and go back to foreign keys and one table the update works again. Below is what I have for my SQL statements:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SELECT:SELECT People.FirstName, People.LastName, People.FullName, People.PropertyID, People.InviteTypeID, People.RSVP, People.Wheelchair, Property.[House/Day Hab], InviteType.InviteTypeName FROM (InviteType INNER JOIN (Property INNER JOIN People ON Property.PropertyID = People.PropertyID) ON InviteType.InviteTypeID = People.InviteTypeID) WHERE (People.PersonID = ?)UPDATE:UPDATE [People] SET [FirstName] = ?, [LastName] = ?, [FullName] = ?, [PropertyID] = ?, [InviteTypeID] = ?, [RSVP] = ?, [Wheelchair] = ? WHERE [PersonID] = ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The only fields I want to update are in [People]. My WHERE is based on a control that I use to select a person from a drop down list. If I run the test query for the update while setting up my data source the query will update the record in the database. It is when I try to make the update from the gridview that the data is not changed. If anything is not clear please let me know and I will clarify as much as I can. This is my first project using ASP and working with databases so I am completely learning as I go. I took some database courses in college but I have never interacted with them with a web based front end. Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for any time, help, and/or advice you can give.Brian

Ok I have a query "SELECT ColumnNames FROM tbl1" let's say the values returned are "age,sex,race".
Now I want to be able to create an "update" statement like "UPATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race" dynamically and execute this UPDATE statement. So, if the next select statement returns "age, sex, race, gender" then the script should create "UPDATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race + gender" and execute it.

i was tasked to created an UPDATE statement for 6 tables , i would like to update 4 columns within the 6 tables , they all contains the same column names. the table gets its information from the source table, however the data that is transferd to the 6 tables are sometimes incorrect , i need to write a UPDATE statement that will automatically correct the data. the Update statement should also contact a where clause
the columns are [No] , [Salesperson Code], [Country Code] and [Country Name]
i was thinking of doing
Update [tablename]
SET [No] =
CASE
WHEN [No] ='AF01' THEN 'Country Code' = 'ZA7' AND 'Country Name' = 'South Africa'
ELSE 'Null'
END
What is the best way to script this

It appears to update only the first qualifying row. The trace shows a row count of one when there are multiple qualifying rows in the table. This problem does not exist in JDBC 2000.

Hello All,
I have an application running off an Access database. Im trying to convert the application to a server-client architecture and thus moving everything to SQL Server 2000.
I have read alot of articles about ways to accomplish that but I've still yet to decide on which approach is the best (best as in robust and scalable).
I pretty much eliminated the ODBC route due to all the layers of translation a request has to go through to reach SQL Server, although this route seems to be the quickes to accomplish.
Mind you I have plenty of time on hand and am willing to re-write the whole thing from scratch if it means a better app.
Now should I go the ADP route and keep Access as the user interface or should I rebuild the whole front End in pure Visual Basic that interacts with SQL Server? Im leaning towards the latter solution.
I haven't read any articles talking about rebuilding the whole app. using VB and SQL Server instead of just using ADP. Why so and which solution do you think is a better solution for a client-server architecture??
Thanks in advance for any replies to my questions.

Hi all,
I would like to simply link two tables that are in two different databases in the SAME server.
I know that I could use the replication method (snapshot or merge) but I need a simpler method like the Access link table method.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hello,
I'm writing a fairly involved stored procedure. In this Stored Procedure, I have an update statement, followed by a select statement. The results of the select statement should be effected by the previous update statement, but its not. When the stored procedure is finish, the update statement seemed to have worked though, so it is working.
I suspect I need something, like a GO statement, but that doesnt seem to work for a stored procedure. Can anyone offer some assistance?

I'm just getting started with SSIS and need pointing in the right direction with my first attempt to create a simple transform lookup.
The objective is to copy some columns from a table in one SQL Server 2005 db into another table in a different db on the same server. There are some simple column transforms involved but one column in the target table needs populating from a lookup as a result of a SQL Query.
So far, I have one OLE DB Source object linked to one OLE DB Destination in 'Data Flow'. I've configured the column transforms and these appear ok. However, the problem is that I can't see how to setup the Lookup. I have added a lookup transform object to the Data Flow space, linked from the appropriate OLE DB Source. The simple sql query returns the correct value when previewed. If I try to connect the output of this lookup object with the same OLE DB Destination that is the output from the first column transform, I get a warning message : -
"Cannot create connector. The destination component does not have any available inputs for use in creating a path"
There is column in the destination table available but I don't know how to direct the lookup output to it. I can see this available column by looking at the OLE Destination object properties and clicking 'Mappings'. The other columns are showing the links in the transformation with the destination column intended for the lookup output is not showing any links.
How do I linkup the output from the lookup object to the OLE Destination object? Is it ok to have two inputs into the OLE Destination object (ie. 1. the output from the OLE DB Source; and 2. The output from the lookup object)?
Thanks in advance,
Clive

I am developing a asp.net app and I have a long, very long list of data fields.
The values of the data fields have to be saved to a SQL database. The list is so long that it a pain in the ass to have to write all the code even to declare an object and all its properties by hand. So...
I made a list of all the field names and types and load it all up in an array. Then I wrote a bunch of macros to write all the properties one by one with the corredt type for the object I needed to create instead of doing it all one by one by hand.
I want to do the same thing with the Database. I dont want to have to hand define all the fiedls 1 by 1 by hand in the IDE. I want to write a simple macro, a loop theat loops thru my array and creates a field with the field name and type that it says in the array.
Simple enough.. Now I have the table defined already since that was simple enough. It is the 200 ++ fields that I dont wanna do.
So, please what is the code I need (in VB) to create 1 simple field in an existing table. Say the table is called "Table1" in the database "Database1" and the field I want is to be called "Field1" and to be 250 chr string..... ???
Thank you Marc

Hi.
A newbie question. I am tearing my hair out trying to work out how in Sql Server 2005 to get a printout (or even better a file I can save that i could incroporate in a wrod document), or both, which shows the structure of all the tables in my database.
I want to list all tables (or selected tables perhaps) , and all columns in those tables, with the attributes of each column (nvarchar(2) etc or decimal(18,5) etc). Just a simple listing of all tables and their columns and the attributes of those columns.
Surely this must be possible with a simple one click operation in Sql Server 2005. I have created a database diagram which gives me part of what I want, but that just shows the tables, relationships, and column names, not the attributes of each column which is what I need as well.
I don't want to have to start installing third party products to do this, and I have no great script writing capabilities. Surely such a basic function is easily acheivable with one or two clicks in Sql Server 2005 from a menu somewhere in sql server mangaement studio?
Thanks in Advance for your help.

I run the following statement and it will not update beyond 7 million plus rows and I have about 38 million to complete. I keep checking updated row counts and after 1/2 day it's still the same so I know something is wrong because it was rolling through no problem when I initiated it. I need to complete ASAP so it's adding to my frustration. The 'Acct_Num_CH' field is an encrypted field (fyi).
SET rowcount 10000
UPDATE [dbo].[CC_Info_T]
SET [Acct_Num_CH] = 'ayIWt6C8sgimC6t61EJ9d8BB3+bfIZ8v'
WHERE [Acct_Num_CH] IS NOT NULL
WHILE @@ROWCOUNT > 0
BEGIN
SET rowcount 10000
UPDATE [dbo].[CC_Info_T]
SET [Acct_Num_CH] = 'ayIWt6C8sgimC6t61EJ9d8BB3+bfIZ8v'
WHERE [Acct_Num_CH] IS NOT NULL
END

Hey all,
I need to set a column value where the id is within a string. However, I need to set the column to a default value if the id is not within the string. Hope that was easy to understand!
ie:
This currently works...
SET @strSQL = 'UPDATE tblTest SET Archive = 1 WHERE RecID IN (' + @IDList + ')
If the ID is not in the list then I want that column set to 0. How can I do this?
Thanks in advance,
Pete

Hi, I'm having trouble writing this update statement and was wondering if anyone could help me out :
My database is sort of set up lilke this:
There are 3 tables: Orders, OrderDetails and Inventory
Orders has a pk called OrderID.
OD has several ProductIDs listed for that OrderID
Inventory has 2 fields, the pk InventoryID(which is the same as
ProductID) and QOH
So OD kinda looks like this:
OrderID ProductID Quantity Cost
192 12 2 $10
192 3 1 $12
192 14 2 $50
193 12 1 $11
.... .
...
...
so what i want to do is take each productID for a specific orderid
and decrement the inventory for it by OD.quantity
This is what I was trying
UPDATE Inventory
Set QOH = QOH - @qty
WHERE Inventory.InventoryID IN (
SELECT ProductID
FROM OrderDetails
WHERE OrderDetails.OrderID = @OrderID
and @qty = OrderDetails.Quantity
)
but, i'm having no luck...... any suggestions ?

I need to populate the adir field where the adate < 12/31/1998 with the rate where adate = 01/01/1998.
I cant seem to figure out exactly how the statement should go so that I populate each timekeepers rate with their specific rate.

I can select the unique record by the following query
select Field1,Field2 from myTable group by Field1,Field2 having count(ID)>1
Any ideas?
