Help Needed: Regarding Appending Tables While Db Is Online
Aug 29, 2001
(SQL 7 on NT Server)
I want to append a table with 1200 rows, using DTS. While I know it is better to do while no one is using the database, exactly what impact will it have if I do this while the database is online? Which leads me to my next question: Exactly what operations can I do while the db is online, and what ones should I not even think of. Most of my needs are data imports and exports. I haven't found much in Online Books about this. Any help would be appreciated very much.
I have two tables that have the same column names, data type and length in each. The only difference is that one is the USA ( COUNTRY) and the other is International ( COUNTRY ). I want to make these two tables into one table. I don't think that a "UNION" will do that on a permanent basis. What other options do I have?
We have SQL cluster installed on top of windows cluster on VM environment. Node1 and Node2 under Windows Failover Cluster. SQL instance is currently on node2 the instance is up and running, but SQL Cluster service remains online pending and it restarts the instance on every 5 minutes.
SQL Browser service are running successfully.TCP/IP ports are enabled and configured.If we start the SQL server agent it is on for seconds and stopped immediately  .Cluster Service is attempt to connect to the SQL service every few minutes (setting in SQL cluster resource) for the IsAlive check, if this fails then the SQL resource is restarted even if the instance was online. Hope this is what happening exactly.

Does anyone have any great suggestions on how I can import an online XML file into an SQL 2005 table?
So far I tried to accomplish it with SSIS Data Flow Task where my source is XML Source (Data access mode: XML file location; XML location: URL, Use inline schema = True). This set up properly identified the columns to be imported.
I used Copy Column data flow transformation task to load data to OLE DB destination table that has same structure.
When I run the task it does execute with no errors, however the table remains empty. It looks like I am failing to read the actual data.
Do you have any suggestions? I am willing to go around this approach with stored procs/com/you name it €“ just make it work!
hi everyone, i've added 2 tables one is on adding, the other one is on returning. but when i return, the dropdownlist keeps displaying those which are returned already. it shouldnt display because i've already returned. here are the codes that i add, "INSERT INTO record VALUES( '" + dateOfIncoming + "', '" + manifestNo + "', '" + hoName + "','" + hoRemarks + "', '" + toName + "', '" + toRemarks + "', '" + purpose + "', '" + timeEntered + "', '" + dateEntered + "', 'Out')" here are the codes that i return "INSERT INTO returnRecord VALUES( '" + dateOfIncoming + "', '" + manifestNo + "', '" + hoName + "','" + hoRemarks + "', '" + timeEntered + "', 'In')" here are the codes that i wanna display in the dropdownlist which i have set the status = IN. means they have returned already so it should display. this is wad i tried what its wrong ----> "select a.manifestNo from record a, returnRecord r where a.status = 'Out' And r.status = 'In'"
my dropdownlist cant retrieve those records that are already returned. i suspect is the select statement that is wrong. but i cant figure out how. please help me!
instesd of displaysing GroupId, SystemId,DeviceId i need to diplay the SensorName,GroupName,SystemName,DeviceName. so please give me some example query to join multiple tables please
I am trying to make a database that is used as a tool in a glazing company.
I don't know if I am doing this the right way or not.
I have broken down the different products into 7 different tables as I believe they should not all be togeather as they all have different information.
I have two tables in seperate dbs that I need to match up users and update the passwords in the second db table. I know how to match up the data and I'm sure I can do this using a cursor but I was wondering if there is a way I can do this with an update statement. Any suggestions(including telling me I'm stuck using a cursor) would be great.
I am trying to do here is to load different flat files to different tables: For example, if the file name starts with "enrollment", then it goes to table "enrollment" table; if the file name starts with "student", then it goes to "student" table.
For now, I created a foreach loop container for the each different files. So it ended up using several foreach loop containers. I am wondering if there is a way just to use one foreach loop containters to process the loading.
Anyone shed some light on this?? Thank you very much for your help!
Greetings all: I am looking for a way to get detailed information about each created table (regardless of permanancy) in a stored procedure, similar to the information one received from using sp_help on an individual table.
Does anyone know of such an animal?

Hi Group,My apologies for the lengthy post, but here goes...I have the following tables:TABLE Vehicles([ID] nvarchar(5),[Make] nvarchar(20),[Model] nvarchar(20),)TABLE [Vehicle Status]([ID] int, /* this is an auto-incrementing field*/[Vehicle ID] nvarchar(5), /* foriegn key, references Vehicles.[ID] */[Status] nvarchar(20),[Status Date] datetime)Here's my problem...I have the following data in my [Vehicles] and [Vehicle Status] tables:[ID] [Make] [Model]----------------------H80 Nissan SkylineH86 Toyota Aristo[ID] [Vehicle ID] [Status] [Status Date]----------------------------------------1 H80 OK 2006-10-012 H80 Damage 2006-10-053 H86 OK 2006-10-134 H86 Dent 2006-10-155 H86 Scratched 2006-10-16I need a query that will join the two tables so that the most recentstatus of each vehicle can be determined. I've gotten as far as:SELECT Vehicle.[ID], Make, Model, [Status], [Status Date] FROM[Vehicles] INNER JOIN [Vehicle Status] ON [Vehicles].[ID] = [VehicleStatus].[Vehicle ID]Of course this produces the following results:[ID] [Make] [Model] [Status] [Status Date]--------------------------------------------H80 Nissan Skyline OK 2006-10-01H80 Nissan Skyline Damage 2006-10-05H86 Toyota Aristo OK 2006-10-13H86 Toyota Aristo Dent 2006-10-15H86 Toyota Aristo Scratched 2006-10-16How do I filter these results so that I get only the MOST RECENT vehiclestatus?i.e:[ID] [Make] [Model] [Status] [Status Date]--------------------------------------------H80 Nissan Skyline Damage 2006-10-05H86 Toyota Aristo Scratched 2006-10-16Thanks in advance,Rommel the iCeMAn*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
hey everyone,I'm having trouble cranking out an appropriate SQL query for what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to add a ratings system into a website, I have 2 relevant tables.Files = table listing all uploaded filesRatings = table listing all ratings for filesThe two DB's are theoretically linked by the fact that the ratings table has a field for "fileID" which matches up to "fileID" in the files table. The way the page works, is that there is a querystring in the URL "filename" where "filename" is a field within the files table. So basically I'm looking for the AVG rating.ratings, where rating.fileID = files.fileID, and the appropriate files.fileID is gained from files.fileID WHERE files.filename = request.querystring["filename"]holy crap, i hope that made sense to someone here. i'm not great at explaining this. My problem is I want the AVG ratings.rating from the table ratings.... where ratings.fileID = files.fildIDWhat I have so far, that works except for the AVG part is below. This code will pull only the ratings for the appropriate file, the problem is whenever I try to add "AVG(something)" to it, the query fails.SELECT files.FID AS Expr1, files.filename, ratings.FID, ratings.ratingFROM files INNER JOIN ratings ON files.FID = ratings.FIDWHERE (files.filename = @filename) @filename value is gained from the URL querystringany ideas?
Help - I need to import data into an existing table. Most import rows were unique, so I had no problem using DTS and appending. However, some import rows match existing rows except for one column/field that contains updated/new data, and I have to either replace the entire row with the imported row, or replace the individual field with the new data. How do I do that when there are many rows to import? It would take forever typing in all the data using UPDATE. Thanks in advance for your help!
There is a view in our replicated SQL-2000 database, that returns all user tables and views with replication state (0 if not included into publication, 1 if included):
Code Snippet
CREATE VIEW [dbo].[ViewREPL_PublishedObjects]
AS
SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT
CASE [xtype]
WHEN 'U' THEN 'Table'
WHEN 'V' THEN 'View'
ELSE NULL END AS [Object Type],
[name] AS [Object Name],
CASE WHEN [replinfo] = 0
THEN 0 ELSE 1
END AS [Replicated]
FROM [sysobjects]
WHERE
[xtype] in ('U', 'V')
AND [status] > 0
ORDER BY
(CASE [xtype]
WHEN 'U' THEN 1
WHEN 'V' THEN 2
ELSE 10
END),
[name]
Now we need to upgrade our database to SQL-2005, but [sysobjects] table have been changed, so neither Replicated state could be determined according on [replinfo] column value, nor User/System object according on [status].
So, I need a view with same functionality, that will work under SQL-2005 and 2008.
Is the merge method, what will work in this case ? I have two datatables with the exact same structure. How can I append the rows from table 2 onto the bottom of table 1 ? Is looping through the rows collection the only way ?
I am trying to append the current row ID to a string I am trying to insert via a sproc. I have retrieved the @@Identity and I am passing it into a class with a parameter and calling it using:
Listings.UpdateDB AddNewListing = new Listings.UpdateDB();
I know this must be simple, but I am stumpped, please help!
I am writing a stored procedure in SQL 2000 where an incomming variable is a string of characters (a couple of sentences) and I want to add that to the existing string of characters in a table field called "Comments".
I do not know how to append the text in a field. How is that best done?
The basic function of the procedure is to take whatever string is passed to it and append it to the current contents of the field "Comments". As the procedure is ran over and over again, the field is constantly appended with the incomming text.
What is the best way to do this? Can anyone give me an example?

We're running SQL 6.5 SP3, we recycle our SQL server every day, somehow starting last December, the errorlog kept appending to the previous one without starting a new log, and it keeps on growing, any one knows anywhere I should look into ? If SQL behaves properly, it should starts a new log after each recycle. I checked from Technet this problem may occur in 4.2 but I haven't seen anything in 6.5....Thanks Anthony
I need to make sure I'm doing this correctly can you help me out guys please?? This is an Appending Stored procedure it should move values from the EmployeeGamingLicense table when the status is turned into TERMINATED to the GCEmployeeTerms table. Heres what I have so far, having problems with the rest of the script getting errors
AS INSERT INTO [CommissionEmployee_Exclusionsdb].[dbo].[GCEmployeeTerms] ( [TM #], [FirstName], [LastName], [SocialSecurityNumber], [DateHired], [Status], [TerminationDate], [Title], [DepartmentName], [TermReason], [VoluntaryInvoluntary])
SELECT ( @TM_#, @FirstName, @LastName, @SocialSecurityNumber, @DateHired, @Status, @TerminationDate, @Title, @DepartmentName, @TermReason, @VoluntaryInvoluntary) FROM EmployeeGamingLicense WHERE STATUS = 'TERMINATED' GO
DTS wizard is not allowing me to append the data to a text file. Every time I run DTS and choose the destination to be this text file (say A.txt), it overwrites the data. I have a table whose data I am dumping to a text file. I truncate the table, then get the data again into it and want to append it to the same text file. But I end up overwriting the text file with the new data.
Hello all! I have a dts package exporting a text file. I would like for the dts job to append to the end of the file each time it is ran, rather than overwriting it. Is there a simple solution for this?
When I create a db backup on our network using BACKUP DATABASE...
BACKUP DATABASE [TKKCommonData] TO DISK = N'G:SQL_BACKUPSTKKCommonDataTKKCommonData_DATA.bak' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'TKKCommonData_DATA-Full Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
I've specified the NOINIT so that it appends rather than overwrites the database, however the database is still overwritten. Any idea how to get the database to backup and append to the set rather than overwrite the backup ?
I have subscription records for five different magazine titles that i process by looping each one though a dataflow using a for-each loop. I am using the following instructions to append to the raw file: http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2005/12/01/2443.aspx
This works fine when I pass four different magazine titles. when i try to run all of the titles(five), i get the following errors:
[Raw File Destination [131195]] Warning: The parameter is incorrect. [DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "Raw File Destination" (131195) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0x80070057.
Currently I have a maintenance plan running a Full backup weekly, differential backups nightly, and log backups hourly. The log backups are all going into a single backup file - but it's hard to see what's going on behind the scenes here.
Does this file get 'reset' when the full backup is performed? Will it just keep growing indefinitely and should I be creating new files for each log backup, or manually deleting the file each week during the full backup task?
unfortunaly i have two tables where usernames are stored. in the one table the column is called 'remote_U' in the other 'remote_u' ... note the upper case
so want to generate listof all usernames and retrieve them in a single a column.
like SELECT DISTINCT remote_U FROM table1 APPEND (SELECT DISTINCT remote_u FROM table 2)
i have tried joins and groups, but is not working. can i also do an alphabetical order after appending the second select? distinct is needed, 'cos one user may have more then one entry in the table, but may be also in both tables ....
