How To Select Value From Table B To Replace Value In Table A
May 29, 2001
I have an automatic data collection system. The large majority of the time, all data is electronically gathered. On occasion, the need arises to substitute a manually entered value into the data when a valuable piece of information cannot be electronically secured. When a piece of data is open to substitution, it arrives with a value of -9999 (a value not naturally occuring) in Table A. I want to be able to use a trigger on table A to get its substitution value from a corresponding column (Same name) in Table B. Tables A & B will have an identical schema. A is raw data, B is the manually updated table. Any value in the raw table with the content of -9999 gets its replacement from Table B.
I'm open to any ideas!!

Hello,I'm a beginner in SQL and I have been searching through the SQL Cookbook and Google but I can't seem to find an example of what I want to do. I want to create a report that will return names and emails using two of my tables. I want to use the email in my primary table in the select but if it is null or empty I want to replace it with an email from my secondary table. Below is what I would like to do but I got a syntax error with it in SQL Server 2000. SELECT MemberID As ID, MemberFirstName As FirstName, MemberLastName As LastName, (IF MemberEmail = '' THEN SELECT TOP 1 OtherEmail FROM OtherTable WHERE OtherID = MemberID) As EmailFROM PrimaryTableThanks for your time.Jason

For reasons that are not relevant (though I explain them below *), Iwant, for all my users whatever privelige level, an SP which createsand inserts into a temporary table and then another SP which reads anddrops the same temporary table.My users are not able to create dbo tables (eg dbo.tblTest), but arepermitted to create tables under their own user (eg MyUser.tblTest). Ihave found that I can achieve my aim by using code like this . . .SET @SQL = 'CREATE TABLE ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstIDDATETIME)'EXEC (@SQL)SET @SQL = 'INSERT INTO ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())'EXEC (@SQL)This becomes exceptionally cumbersome for the complex INSERT & SELECTcode. I'm looking for a simpler way.Simplified down, I am looking for something like this . . .CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestInsert ASCREATE TABLE tblTest(tstID DATETIME)INSERT INTO tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())GOCREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestSelect ASSELECT * FROM tblTestDROP TABLE tblTestIn the above example, if the SPs are owned by dbo (as above), CREATETABLE & DROP TABLE use MyUser.tblTest while INSERT & SELECT usedbo.tblTest.If the SPs are owned by the user (eg MyUser.TestInsert), it workscorrectly (MyUser.tblTest is used throughout) but I would have to havea pair of SPs for each user.* I have MS Access ADP front end linked to a SQL Server database. Forreports with complex datasets, it times out. Therefore it suit mypurposes to create a temporary table first and then to open the reportbased on that temporary table.

Hello,
I hope someone can answer this, I'm not even sure where to start looking for documentation on this. The SQL query I'm referencing is included at the bottom of this post.
I have a query with 3 select statements joined together like tables. It works great, except for the fact that I need to declare a variable and make it a table within two of those 3. The example is below. You'll see that I have three select statements made into tables A, B, and C, and that table A has a variable @years, which is a table.
This works when I just run table A by itself, but when I execute the entire query, I get an error about the "declare" keyword, and then some other errors near the word "as" and the ")" character. These are some of those errors that I find pretty meaningless that just mean I've really thrown something off.
So, am I not allowed to declare a variable within these SELECT tables that I'm creating and joining?
Thanks in advance,
Andy
Select * from

declare @years table (years int);

I have a query that has the following structure
Select *
From Table
Where Condition And ... (some 'Exists' conditions)
When I run the query using field names the query gets much slower, and I cannot understand Why!
Select MyField
From Table
Where Condition And ... (some 'Exists' conditions)
I'm talking about three times slower using the Select MyField sintax.
Any ideas???

Greetings,
I'm a web developer who is new to T-SQL scripting.
I need to write a script that will update a table from a text file daily; the columns will be identical but their content will vary. I immediately thought that dropping the existing table and creating a new one from the file as a scheduled job was the answer.
My boss thinks that this approach is risky and suggests comparing the new and old data and altering the existing table instead. My gut says that this is an inefficient and unecessary solution.
Any advice?; if so, any sample scripts you can point to?
Thanks!

I have set up a 'Parameters' table that solely stores all pre-assigned selection values for a webform. I customized a stored query to Select the values from the Parameters table. I set up the webform. The result is that the form1.apsx automatically populates each DropDownList task with the pre-assigned values from the 'Parameters' table (for example, the stored values in the 'Parameters' table 'Home', 'Business', and 'Other' populate the drop down list for 'Type').
The programming to move the selected data from form1.aspx to a new table in the SQL database perplexes me. If possible, I would like to use the form1.aspx to Postback (or Insert) the "selected" data to a *new* column in a *new* table (such as writing the data to the 'CustomerType' column in the 'Customers' table; I clearly do not want to write back to the 'Parameters' table). Any help to get over this hurdle would be deeply appreciated.

I'm trying to write a script toreplace any field with 0 or null with 1, but it's not working. HEre'swhat I've got:Update A Set A.deptcode = A.deptcode,A.type = A.Type,A.Volume = (case A.VolumeWhen Null Then 1When 0 then 1Else A.VolumeEnd)From Data_Unsorted A Join Data_Unsorted B OnA.deptcode = B.deptcode and A.type = B.TypeMy table is data_unsorted and deptcode and type are my primary keysVolume is the item I want to put 1 if null or zero, and I'd thing theabove statement would work, but it doesn't. This table has 383 rows,and it says it updates 383 rows, but when I run the following query totest:select a.deptcode, a.type, a.volumefrom data_unsorted awhere a.AveMonthVolume = 0 or a.AveMonthVOlume is nullIt didn't work... still TONS of nulls and zero's.

There is a table [Formula_Calc] with formula calculations that need to be replaced with relevant values based on another table [Totals]
[Totals]
RowNo|Total
F1|240
F2|160
F3|180
F11|1000
F12|1500
F13|2000
For example we've got a row from [Formula_Calc] table 'F1+F3' as a string that needs to be transformed as 240+160=400
The below code works for the above example but if I pick 'F11+F3' instead , returns 2561 which comes from 2401+16.
Probably replaces F1 value instead of F11 and adds 1st digit (1) if I got it right ...
DECLARE @formula NVARCHAR(100);
DECLARE @Total NVARCHAR(100);
SET @formula = 'F11+F3';
SELECT @formula = REPLACE(@formula,RowNo,Total)
FROM [Totals]
SET @Total='select '+@formula
EXECUTE sp_executesql @Total;
PRINT @Total;

Hi i am getting a weekly transaction file which has two columns trans code and trans date to indicate whether the record is changed, added or modified . and the monthly master file contains blank in these two fields.
How do i update the row coming from the transaction file in the tables which contain the rows from the master file .
to better explain the example is
Master File
ID Name AGE Salary Transcode TransDate
2 dev 27 2777
Transaction File indicating change
ID Name AGE Salary Transcode TransDate
2 dev 27 24444 C 08072007
the ouput should be
2 dev 27 24444 C 08072007
replacing the existing row in the table(updating the whole row)
i have 50 columns in my table and based on the two fields i should replace the rows exisiting in table and if ID doesnot match exist just add them as a new row.
what transformation should i use .... to replace all the columns which have matching ID in table to the current record from trans file and if there doesnt exist matching id just add them as new row.
Thanks...

I am trying to pull a min value of a date column from table 1, if table 1 does not have any record I need pull a date column from table 2. Table 2 will always have a unique record ID (No duplicate ID's).
Table 1
ID date
1 1/1/2014
1 1/5/2014
Table 2
ID date
1 1/5/2014
2 10/15/2014
Here is the desired result when running for ID = 1 (select Min(date) where ID = 1, I should be getting 1/1/2014 from Table 1.
If I am running the same query where ID=2 then I should be getting 10/15/2014 from Table 2. So basically I need to check if a value exists on Table 1 first, if there is no value on Table 1 and then to grab the value from Table 2.

I've been scratching my head over this one.
It should be pretty easy to do, but I keep going over the same problem.
I have 3 tables (Suppliers, Categories & Suppliers_To_Categories).
Suppliers_To_Categories contains which suppliers are related to which categories.
The set-up is so (simplified):
Suppliers
id
1 Supplier 1
2 Supplier 2
3 Supplier 3
4 Supplier 4
Categories
id
1 Category A
2 Category B
3 Category C
4 Category D
Suppliers_To_Categories
id supplierId categoryId
1 1 1
1 1 2
1 1 3
2 2 3
3 3 1
3 3 3
What I am after is an SQL statement which tells me for a particular category, which suppliers ARE NOT related to it, so they can be assigned.
E.g.
Category D has Suppliers 1-4 unassigned
Category C has Supplier 4 unassigned
Category B has 2, 3, 4 unassigned
Category A has Supplier 2, 4 unassigned etc...
I've got the other side of the SQL statement which tells me which suppliers are assigned to a category (see below):
SELECT Suppliers.*
FROM CatToSupplier INNER JOIN
Suppliers ON CatToSupplier.supplierId = Suppliers.supplierId
WHERE (CatToSupplier.CatId = @CatId)
This is probably really easy, but I've become unstuck!
