I would like to write a query that will join two tables in separate databases (same server). Then update a field in one table using data and criteria from the other.
Its easy to do this in Microsoft Access by linking the tables using ODBC, but I found its not so simple to do directly in SQL Server
Thanks.
I have several database files, all in the same directory. I want to write SQL statements that access two databases at once. For example, if only one database would be involved, I would write:
SELECT Test_Source_ID_column, Data_column
INTO Test_Destination_table
FROM Test_Sources_table
The above query copies two columns (Test_Source_ID_column and Data_column) from Test_Sources_table into a brand new table called Test_Destination_table.
Now the above query is fine for both the old and new tables being in the same database. But what if Test_Sources_table is in file Old.dbf and I want the new table Test_Destination_table to be in New.dbf?
Both Old.dbf and New.dbf are in the same directory. Therefore, there is no security issue about using ......etcpasswords. I should therefore be able to use relative paths. So, I also want to know how I can do that select on two databases in the same directory without typing long, long paths.
Is there a way to do queries that access multiple database files (all database files being in the exact same directory) AND use relative paths or no paths (and certainly not type a full path)?
NOTE 1: I'm using SQLEXPRESS, therefore do not have the SQL Server 2005 tools. I have Visual Studio 2005 Developer Edition with its tools.
NOTE 2: One table is accessed through ODBC. The other table is accessed through SQLEXPRESS.
Hi, could someone explain to me with sample code how to write a sql query using parameters to update a record, as I am new to this.
thanks
In database DB1, I have table DB1.dbo.Suppliers1. This table has an ID column of type INT named SUPPL1_ID
In database DB2, I have table DB2.dbo.Suppliers2. This table has an ID column of type INT named SUPPL2_ID
I would like to update DB2.dbo.Suppliers2 based on values from DB1.dbo.Suppliers1 joining on SUPPL1_ID = SUPPL2_ID.
How can I do this in SSIS?
Assumptions:
linked servers are not an option, as I want the SSIS package to be portable and not dependent on server environments.
TIA.

Any links I can read about that can show me how to write the queries?

Hi,
I was reading that many of these high traffic websites actually have 2 databases, 1 database is used ONLY for reads, while the other is for writes.
How does one go about creating such a setup? How does the database where writes are allowed replicated the data to the read only database server?

hi there, i have been wrestling with this for quite a while, as in my other post http://forums.asp.net/t/1194975.aspx, what someone advised me was to put in try catch blocks ot see whats going on, problem is i have never really done it whit this kinda thing before, and i was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction.
For example where would i put the try catch block in here, to show me if its not working public int getLocationID(int ProductID, int StockLoc)
{
// Gets the LocationID (Shelf ID?) for the stock column and product id
// passed
// The SQL will look Something like: string strSQL;
strSQL = "SELECT " + " location" + StockLoc + " " + "FROM " + " tbl_stock_part_multi_location " + "WHERE " + " stock_id = " + ProductID;string sConnectionString = "Data Source=xxxxx;Initial Catalog=xxxx;User ID=xxxx;Password=xxxxx";
SqlConnection objConnGetLocationID = new SqlConnection(sConnectionString);SqlCommand sqlCmdGetLocationID = new SqlCommand(strSQL, objConnGetLocationID);
objConnGetLocationID.Open();int intLocation = Convert.ToInt32(sqlCmdGetLocationID.ExecuteScalar());
return intLocation;
}
I have the following table:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[IntegrationMessages]
(
[MessageId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[MessagePayload] [varbinary](max) NOT NULL,
)
I call the following insertmessage stored proc from a c# class that reads a file.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[InsertMessage]
@MessageId int OUTPUT
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO [dbo].[IntegrationMessages]
( MessagePayload )
VALUES
( 0x0 )
SELECT @MessageId = @@IDENTITY
END
The c# class then opens a filestream, reads bytes into a byte [] and calls UpdateMessage stored proc in a while loop to chunk the data into the MessagePayload column.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[UpdateMessage]
@MessageId int
,@MessagePayload varbinary(max)
AS
BEGIN
UPDATE [dbo].[IntegrationMessages]
SET
MessagePayload.WRITE(@MessagePayload, NULL, 0)
WHERE
MessageId = @MessageId
END
My problem is that I am always ending up with a 0x0 value prepended in my data. So far I have not found a way to avoid this issue. I have tried making the MessagePayload column NULLABLE but .WRITE does not work with columns that are NULLABLE.
My column contains the following:
0x0043555354317C...
but it should really contain
0x43555354317C...
My goal is to be able to store an exact copy of the data I read from the file.
Here is my c# code:
public void TestMethod1()
{
int bufferSize = 64;
byte[] inBuffer = new byte[bufferSize];
int bytesRead = 0;
byte[] outBuffer;
DBMessageLogger logger = new DBMessageLogger();
FileStream streamCopy =
new FileStream(@"C:vsProjectsSandboxBTSMessageLoggerInSACustomer3Rows.txt", FileMode.Open);
try
{
while ((bytesRead = streamCopy.Read(inBuffer, 0, bufferSize)) != 0)
{
outBuffer = new byte[bytesRead];
Array.Copy(inBuffer, outBuffer, bytesRead);
string inText = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(outBuffer);
Debug.WriteLine(inText);
//This calls the UpdateMessage stored proc
logger.LogMessageContentToDb(outBuffer);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Do not fail the pipeline if we cannot archive
// Just log the failure to the event log
}
}
Hi,
I develop ASP.NET applications and use MS SQL 2000 Enterprise.
Each customer has one database and one custom design application. And, there is a gateway and a central database to get data from all databases.
Supposed there are 10 DBs. I want the data in those 10 databases updating to the central database directly.
So, the gateway can gather all data of 10 DBs from a central DB.
Now, my question is how should I do it in MS SQL 2000? Can I do it with a stored procedure (SP)? If so, how does the SP like?
Or, SP can only perform on it's own DB, but not execute across DBs? If so, how can I do that?
Thanks for advice
I am new to programming in SQL and in VB. I use VWD to create web applications with a Hosted SQL database, locally though the databases are created in SQLExpress through Visual Web Developer.
I have used the SQL Publishing Wizard to upload my local data to the web sql server. But, I'd like to have the same local database as is on the web, which is being updated by users, both data and user / membership data but am not sure how to create an easy, or even programmatical way to update both databases periodically.
Thank you for your help.

Hiya!
I'm developing an app. using SQL Server 7 (as the back end) for a company supporting approx. 200 unrelated clients, all in different locations. There is no LAN or WAN connection between them, so we'd probably need to use TCP/IP. The problem is as follows: We have dynamic reports in our app. which are run based on data in two tables. Whenever we add a new report we'd like to send it to all of our clients i.e. update their tables to reflect the additional rows of new report info. How would this best be handled, by DTS or Replication or BCP? And how could it be done with either?
Thanks,
Sarah
I have 50 MSDE SQL2k servers, each server has around 10 customer databases.
There are 5 stored procecures need to update to 50*10 = 500 databases.
These 5 stored procedures each has many 'Go' keywords and 4 of 5 with more than 8000 characters.
What might be the best way to loop execute them automatically, instead of
isql/w to each database connection to run the script?
I had bumpped by 'Go' keywords error and limitation of max varchar of 8000 error.
thanks for the help

View 2 Replies View Relatedwe have a new requirement that calls for also (in addition to RS's automatic directory updates) updating an organizational application database with metatdata about instances of scheduled reports, or alternatively having our app query RS's metadata for such info.
So, let's say we have a report called Sales Detail, and it runs at 8am every day of the week for client A thru the scheduling mechanism that comes with RS. Each time it runs to completion, an entry would have to be made in our organizational database representing a new run (instance) of the report under the client for whom it was run, in this case A.
Forgetting for the moment potential issues with a reporting system interfering with the transactional, or vice versa, can datasets in RS also do updates?...or can the scheduling mechanism in RS be extended to also log info to other places?...or is the metadata kept by RS (about instances of reports) easy to get to and decipher, and possibly be extended to record for which client this particular instance was run?

i am assuming there is a better way to write this query (since im not too proficient in SQL)
sql Code:
Original
- sql Code
select client_id from clients where client_id not in
(select schedule_det.client_id from schedule_det,
schedule_mstr where schedule_det.schedule_id=schedule_mstr.schedule_id
and schedule_mstr.status_code!='COMPLETE')
SELECT client_id FROM clients WHERE client_id NOT IN (SELECT schedule_det.client_id FROM schedule_det, schedule_mstr WHERE schedule_det.schedule_id=schedule_mstr.schedule_id AND schedule_mstr.status_code!='COMPLETE')
ok i have table1, table 2 and table 3.
these table have some common feild names. table1,2 and 3 all have a,b,c and d as field names. each table has other field names too but the ones they all have in common are a,b,c and d.
so i would like to write a query that returns all rows from all 3 tables where column d is greater than 5 and less than 10.
so basically i want it to treat the records from all 3 tables ad one big dataset.
how would i write a query to do this.
i know i could say:
SELECT a,b,c,d
FROM table1,table2,table3
but what gets me is the WHERE clause
do i have to say WHERE table1.d >5 AND table1.d <10 OR table2.d>5 AND table2.d <10 OR table3.d>5 AND table3.d <10
??
any guidance please?
