How To Use Merge Statement

Aug 31, 2015

We have a current database table (PAF) that had a new column added to it named 'Email'. This table also has some other columns including one named [Employee Number].We also have an Excel spreadsheet that has 2 columns 'Employee Number' and 'E-mail Address'. I need to take the E-mail Address field from the spreadsheet, match it up with the employee number between the spreadsheet and PAF table, and then insert the email address into the database column.I'm guessing I would do this using a MERGE statement, correct?

DB Engine :: Can't Use The MERGE Statement / How To Design WHERE Condition For Insert Statement

Nov 5, 2015

I've have a need with SQL Server 2005 (so I've no MERGE statement), I have to merge 2 tables, the target table has 10 fields, the first 4 are the clustered index and primary key, the source table has the same fields and index.Since I can't use the MERGE statement (I'm in SQL 2005) I have to make a double step operation, and INSERT and an UPDATE, I can't figure how to design the WHERE condition for the insert statement.

Merge Statement

Dec 28, 2003

Hello,
I have two tables: Orders and Appoitment. Each order can have up to 2 appointments. Now, I need a SELECT statement that gives me this:

ORDER APPT
1 appt1 appt2
2 appt1 appt2

and not this:

ORDER APPT
1 appt1
1 appt2
2 appt1
2 appt2

In other words, I want to merge the two appointments for each order. I tried using the merge statement but it does not work. Tried to google but saw nothing. My database is SQL server. Please help. Thanks

Merge Statement

Aug 17, 2006

Is there a merge statement in SQL Server 2000?

I want to combine update and insert statement into single statement as follows.

MERGE INTO MyTable
USING MyTempTable
ON MyTempTable.MatchingField1 = MyTable.MatchingField1
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE UpdateField1 = MyTempTable.UpdateField1
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
INSERT VALUES(MyTempTable.MatchingField1, MyTempTable.UpdateField1)

Currently if I try to run this stmt, it gives error "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'INTO'."

I am trying to update values in two tables (approx 1-2 million records).

I have decided to use a MERGE statement, however have been unsuccessful to do so.

Below is an example of the statement.

The error is receive is "Incorrect syntax near '('." right after the MERGE line.

Is it not possible to use this syntax ?

Insert Statement With Merge Replication.

Nov 9, 2007

Hello,

i have a little question.
Is it possible you can't perform an insert statement on a table wich is replicated with merge replication?

I set the replication up and everything works fine, but if i want to perfom an insert statement on the table, i get an error that the values i want to add aren't the same as the one in the table.

I know that merge replication creates a new column and I think that's the problem.

Can someone help me solve this or confirm that you can't perform an insert statement on a replicated table?

Transact SQL :: Merge Statement Failed

Sep 17, 2015

I have a stored procedure that runs (SQL Server 2012 (SP1) Standard Ed) daily and I never had any problem with this stored procedure. However, there is MERGE statement on the stored procedure and I see an error saying that the MERGE statement failed..Here are the stored procedure and error message:

The MERGE statement attempted to UPDATE or DELETE the same row more than once. This happens when a target row matches more than one source row. A MERGE statement cannot UPDATE/DELETE the same row of the target table multiple times. Refine the ON clause to ensure a target row matches at most one source row, or use the GROUP BY clause to group the source rows. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 8672).  The step failed.

MERGE Statement - Skipping Locked Records

Aug 27, 2012

skip locked records in a MERGE statement and output the list of skipped records.

Through the documentation, internet posts and testing, I believe it is NOT possible. MERGE acts like a single atomic DML statement, and therefore cannot avoid locked records.

I can use the READPAST hint, which will skip the row-locked records. However, it could actually insert duplicate keys in certain cases (as it is ignoring records, i would guess), which would not be acceptable.

Transact SQL :: Update Statement In Merge Does Not Work

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Comparison In The Merge Statement About Null Values?

Aug 22, 2012

I use the merge statement in a sproc to insert, update and delete records from a staging table to a production table.

In the long sql, here is a part of it,

When Matched and

((Student.SchoolID <> esis.SchoolID
OR
Student.GradeLevel <> esis.GradeLevel
OR
Student.LegalName <> esis.LegalName
OR
Student.WithdrawDate <> esis.WithdrawDate
Student.SPEDFlag <> esis.SPEDFlag
OR
Student.MailingAddress <> esis.MailingAddress)

Then update

Set Student.Schoolid=esis.schoolid,
.....

My question is how about if the column has null values in it.for example

if schoolID is null in production table is null, but in staging table is not null, will the <> return true.or if either side of <> has a null value, will it return true.

I don't want it to omit some records and causing the students records not get updated.If not return true, how to fix this?

SQL Server 2012 :: Merge Statement Using SCD2 Failing?

Mar 18, 2015

I have created mergse statement using SCD2.where I am inserting the data if my BBxkey is not matching with target and updating the rows if the bbxkey is matching and rowchecksum is different.

Working of Store procedure

There are 2 scenario covered in this procedure on the basis of that ETL happening.

There are 2 columns deriving from source table at run time, one is BBxkey which is nothing but a combination of one or more column or part of column and another column is a Rowchecksum column which is nothing but a Hashvalue of all the column of the tables for a row.

Merge case 1:-WHEN NOT MATCH THEN INSERT

If source BBxkey is not there in Archive table that means if BBxKey is null then those records are new and it will directly inserted into Archive table.

Merge case 2:-WHEN MATCH THEN UPDATE

If Source.BBxkey=Target.BBxkey && Source.Rowchecksum<>Target.Rowchecksum then this means source records are available in Archive table but data has been changed, in this case it will update the old record with latestversion 0 and insert the new record with latestversion 1.

my sp failing when source having more than 1 same bbxkey.

error [Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "EXEC dbo.ETL_STAGE_ARCHIVE ?" failed with the following error: "The MERGE statement attempted to UPDATE or DELETE the same row more than once. This happens when a target row matches more than one source row. A MERGE statement cannot UPDATE/DELETE the same row of the target table multiple times. Refine the ON clause to ensure a target row matches at most one source row, or use the GROUP BY clause to group the source rows.".

Sample store procedure

DECLARE @Merge_Out TABLE (Action_Taken varchar(8),
TimeIn datetime,
BBXKey varchar(100),
RowChecksum nvarchar(4000),Col001 varchar(8000),Col002 varchar(8000),
Col003 varchar(8000),Col004 varchar(8000),Col005 varchar(8000),

[code].....

How Can I avoid such failure of my sp.

I want to handle those case where S.bbxkey=T.bbxkey && s.rowchecksum=t.rowchecksum

Transact SQL :: Managing First Application Of MERGE Statement In ETL Logic

Apr 20, 2015

In order to feed a fact table of a dwh from a staging table I'm using the MERGE statement in order to control insert and update operations. It is possible that the staging table has duplicate rows respect to the fields controlled in the merge condition:

When I run the first time the MERGE statement unwanted rows could be inserted in the fact table.

Does the MERGE statement allow to manage this case or do I need to filter data from the staging table before to write them into the fact table?

DB Design :: Optimizing Merge Statement By The Use Of Indexes On Target

Nov 13, 2015

This website describes how Merge statements should be optimized by the use of indexes on the target?source tables: [URL]..... It says that a clustered index should be created on the join column in the target and a unique covering index on the source table. 

I have read in other articles that insert/delete/update statements perform worse on tables with clustered indexes as the leaf level pages will have to be reorganized.

Why in the case of Merge statement having a indexes actually improve the performance of insert/delete/update statements?

SQL Server 2012 :: Convert Hardcoded SP Into Dynamic Merge Statement

Feb 13, 2015

I am working on to convert my static Store procedure to Dynamic.

I have created a Store procedure with Merge statement which is inserting new record and updating existing record.

This SP I will use in SSIS Insted of Data Flow Task I will run in Execute SQL Task.

Now my biggest problem is I dont know how to convert static code toi dynamic

Below is my Store procedure code.

As you can see my Source Query

I have a filemaster table as shown below which consist of Input filename,Source table ,Destination table and BBX expression.

Input_FilenameSourceTableName DestinationTableName BBxKeyDerExpr
CCTFB ImportBBxCctfb ArchiveBBxCctfb SUBSTRING(Col001,1,6)
CEMXR ImportBBxCemxr ArchiveBBxCemxr SUBSTRING(Col001,1,10)

In my source query I want to change the value of Source table ,Destination table and BBX expression dynamically on the basis of input file.

Purpose of making dynamic is that I have created separate sp for all the input, my clients want to have sungle dynamic sp which will execute on the basis of input file.this input file name I wil get fromm variable which i have created in SSIS Package.

Lets consider @File_name is the variable in package which store the file name

if file name is CCTFB then my query should take the Source table ,Destination table and BBX expression value from file master table.

Like that I have 100 of source query and evry query have diffrent number of columns. How can I change the column number in uodate and insert statement dynamically on run time.

CAST(SUBSTRING(Col001,1,6) + SUBSTRING(Col002,1,10) AS varchar(100)) :-It creates a key for comparing, this value i can take it from filemaster
HASHBYTES('MD5', CAST(CHECKSUM(Col001, Col002,Col003,Col004) AS varchar(max))) -here numberv of column need to be changed .
(SUBSTRING(SOURCE.Col001,1,6) + SUBSTRING(SOURCE.Col002,1,10)) this condition also i can take it from file master.

[Code] ....

I am able to get inserted and updated rowcount, but not able to get the matching records count.

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Query Be Rewritten With Merge Statement So That Whole Operation Is Atomic?

Sep 14, 2015

I would like to have a 'counter' table which will hold the last used number and return a new number. This is my schema:

if object_id('tempdb.dbo.#Counter', 'u') is not null drop table #Counter
go
create table #Counter (
Id int not null
)
go
if exists (select * from #Counter)
update #Counter
set Id = Id + 1
output inserted.Id
else
insert into #Counter (Id)
output inserted.Id
select 1

If the table is empty it returns 1 else it returns the next number (Id + 1). But this query is not atomic (i guess...?) so it could evaluate that the #Counter table is empty and then try to insert into the table, but inbetween someone else executes the insert also. Could this query be rewritten with the merge statement so that the whole operation is atomic?

Transact SQL :: MERGE Statement Did Not Catch Existing Row In Target Table

Nov 8, 2015

I am new to use MERGE statement. The MERGE cannot find any match Cardnumber in the target table.  It inserts row into an existing row on the target table causing SQL rejected with duplicate key not allowed. The CardNumber is defined as a primary key on the target table with no duplicate allowed. Below snippet stop when MERGE insert a row exists on the target. The source table contains multiple rows with the same Cardnumber because it is a transactional table with multiple redemptions. 

If MERGE cannot handle many (source) to one (target) relationship, what other method that I can change to in order to update the target GiftCard table which keeps track of gift card balance? 

Below is the error message:

Msg 2627, Level 14, State 1, Line 5
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_GiftCard'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.GiftCard'. The duplicate key value is (63027768).

The statement has been terminated.

DDL of the target table:

CREATE
 TABLE [dbo].[GiftCard](
[CardNumber] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[Year] [int] NULL,
[Month] [int] NULL,
[Period] [int] NULL,
[TransAmount] [decimal](10, 2) NULL,

Does The Actual Update Statement Of A Table Affect Merge Replication?

Dec 8, 2006

Suppose your using Merge Replication.

2 Users in 2 locations issue updates to the same table. 1 updating 1 column and the other updating another column. Now in reality the actual Stored Procedure issuing the update statement is passed in all the possible columns that could change and builds an update statement that updates all columns even the ones that havent changed.

Will this break Merge Replications conflict tracking? Or does SQL Server 2005 Merge Replication pickup that in reality the 2 updates only in reality changed the values in 2 columns.

SQL Server 2008 :: MERGE Statement - Cannot Filter Set Of Rows In Target Table

Feb 10, 2015

I have a table:

declare tableName table
(
uniqueid int identity(1,1),
id int,
starttime datetime2(0),
endtime datetime2(0),
parameter int
)

A stored procedure has new set of values for a given id. Sometimes the startime and endtime are the same, in which case I update the value of parameter. Sometimes I add a new time range (insert statement), and sometimes I delete a time range (delete statement).

I had a question on merge, with insert, delete and update and I got that resolved. However I have a different question regarding performance of the merge statement.

If my target table has hundreds of millions of records and I want to delete/update/insert a handful of records, will SQL server scan the entire target table? I can't have:

merge ( select * from tableName where id = 10 ) as target
using ...

and I can't have:

merge tableName as target
using [my query] as source on
source.id = target.id and
source.starttime = target.startime and
source.endtime = target.endtime
where target.id = 10
...

This means I cannot filter the set of rows in the target table to a handful of records where id = 10.

SQL Server 2008 :: Merge Statement Takes Several Times Longer To Execute Than Equivalent Update

Jun 20, 2013

Problem Summary: Merge Statement takes several times longer to execute than equivalent Update, Insert and Delete as separate statements. Why?

I have a relatively large table (about 35,000,000 records, approximately 13 GB uncompressed and 4 GB with page compression - including indexes). A MERGE statement pretty consistently takes two or three minutes to perform an update, insert and delete. At one extreme, updating 82 (yes 82) records took 1 minute, 45 seconds. At the other extreme, updating 100,000 records took about five minutes.When I changed the MERGE to the equivalent separate UPDATE, INSERT & DELETE statements (embedded in an explicit transaction) the entire update took only 17 seconds. The query plans for the separate UPDATE, INSERT & DELETE statements look very similar to the query plan for the combined MERGE. However, all the row count estimates for the MERGE statement are way off.

Obviously, I am going to use the separate UPDATE, INSERT & DELETE statements. The actual query plans for the four statements ( combined MERGE and the separate UPDATE, INSERT & DELETE ) are attached. SQL Code to create the source and target tables and the actual queries themselves are below. I've also included the statistics created by my test run. Nothing else was running on the server when I ran the test.

Server Configuration:

SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1, Enterprise Edition
3 x Quad-Core Xeon Processor
Max Degree of Parallelism = 8
148 GB RAM

Target Table:
USE TPS;
IF OBJECT_ID('dbo.ParticipantResponse') IS NOT NULL

SQL Server 2012 :: Using Merge Statement Output Records To Rebuild Table On Specific Date

Mar 5, 2015

I have a table which is updated daily using a MERGE statement. As records are insert, updated and deleted, I am saving the OUTPUT from the MERGE statement into a history table with a timestamp and action$ column appended to the record.

Using this history table, I'd like to rebuild the data based on specific past date. I was able to create a stored procedure that inspects each record in the history table and apply it to the data in a temp table. The stored procedure solution uses multiple queries to rebuild the data at a point in time. I was curious if there was an easier and more efficient solution using a table function.

Integration Services :: Pass Single Column Of Values From Successful Merge Join To EXECUTE Statement

May 7, 2015

How do I pass a single column of values from a successful merge join to an EXECUTE SQL statement so it can be used with an "IN" criteria of the WHERE clause?  Here's an example of my update statement with two random key values:

UPDATE dbo.MyTable SET MyStatus = 1 WHERE MyPK IN ("XYZ123", "DEF890")

Is this even possible in SSIS, or am I better off using a loop and running the update EXECUTE SQL Statement for each individual key value, as in the following example?

UPDATE dbo.MyTable SET MyStatus = 1 WHERE MyPK = "XYZ123"
UPDATE dbo.MyTable SET MyStatus = 1 WHERE MyPK = "DEF890"
