What would be the steps to create a SSIS job to append records from an ODBC table to a SQL table, adding only the records from the source that do not already exist in the destination?
I have another post on this subject, with a good suggestion for the approach, but I need some more detailed instructions for implementing it:
Have you considered to use a Lookup task in your data flow to check if the row already exists in the destination table and then use the error output (no matches) for inserting only non existing rows? Notice that the error output of the lookup task needs to be set as 'redirect rows' in order to get this behavior
I have another table with the following structure (Basically this table will contain a subset of coloumns of Table1)
Table2 ------- Dept Field1 Field2
Now using a query I would like see all the records with all coloumns in Table1 plus all the records in Table2 appended
i.e if Table1 row is
IT F1 F2 F3 F4 F5
and if Table2 row is
IT F11 F22 Sales F12 F23
I would like to see a result set with the following structure
Resultset
IT F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 IT F11 F22 NULL NULL NULL Sales F12 F23 NULL NULL NULL
Can some body explain me how to do this with a query. I tried using union but it requires identical coloumns on both ends( Ofcourse, we can acheive this by having Field3,Field4 and Field5 as blank columns in Table 2 but I don't wanna do that as my original tables are too huge to handle this).
Hi, I have two view (Run1OnlyFailures and Run2OnlyFailures). THey share exact same columes. Run1OnlyFailures has three records and Run2OnlyFailures has 5 records. Is there any way that I could put all 8 (3+5) records into a third view BothRunFailures, which share the same columns defination as Run1OnlyFailures and Run2OnlyFailures?
I have a stored procedure that appends data from a temp table to a destination table. The procedure is called from an aspx web page. The destination table has an index on certain fields so as to not allow duplicates. The issue I'm having is if the imported data contains some records that are unique and some that would be duplicate, the procedure stops and no records are appended. How can I have this procedure complete it's run, passing over the duplicates and appending the unique records? Since the data is in a temp table (which gets deleted after each append) should I run some sort of 'find duplicates' query, and delete the duplicates from the temp table first, then append to the destination table? Thanks in advance.SMc
In Access I have a macro that, each night, takes a table with aprimary key defined in it, and deletes all the rows. Then itimports/appends records from a fixed width text file. In this way,since the table is not deleted and recreated, the primary key is keptintact.What would be the equivalent SQL method for doing this in an automatedway? I've tried letting DTS import the table from Access, but theprimary key is lost. Is there some way to "empty" a table instead ofdropping it, and then append new records so that the table will end uphaving the primary key I want it to have?Thanks.Larry- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -"Forget it, Jake.

I have created a data warehouse that pulls information from an ODBC source into a SQL database. The schema in the destination matches the source, and the packages clear the destination tables, then append all the records from the source. This is simpler than updating, appending new, and deleting on each table to get them in sync since there is no modify timestamp in the source.
There are cases where I just want to append records from the source table that do not already exist in the destination table, without clearing the destination table first.
How can this be done with a SSIS job? Also, how can the job be run from a Windows Forms application?
What I would LIKE to do is noted in the subject line. What I'm findingis that "edit SQL" appears to only be an option if I am creating atable. If I select "append to" the option to edit SQL shades itself asunavailable.The reason I'd like this is that there is a datum in the flat file thatindicates whether that record should be appended to that table notedabove. There are other ways of dealing with this "problem" but it wouldbe nice to be able to control it using SQL, in the DTS import/exportwizard.If the source of my data is an SQL table, I can generate an SQL queryto specify what fields to import in an append, to check for existingvalues, etc...Is there a way around this? I can reserve a table for data transfers,regularly overwrite it with new data from text file inputs, and use SQLto insert select fields from that transfer table to other databasetables. (From this "transfer" table, data needs to be inserted intofour separate tables in our database).I hope this is clear. If it CAN'T be done this way, it's okay...just alittle ugly with the need to re-create the transfer table.
I have a table of Customers & their data in about 20 Columns.
I have another table that has potential Customers with 3 Columns.
I want to append the records from Table 2 onto Table 1 to the Columns with the same names.
I've thought of using UNION ALL or Select Insert but I'm mainly stuck on the most efficient way to do this.
There is also no related field that can be used to join the data as these Customers in table 2 have no Customer ID yet as they're only potential Customers.
Can I just append the 3 columns from Table 2 to the same 3 columns in table 1?
writing the query for the following, I need to collapse the continuity. If the termdate for an ID is one day less than the effdate of the next id (for the same ID) i need to collapse the records. See below example .....how should i write the query which will give me the desired output. i.e., get min(effdate) and max(termdate) if termdate is one day less than the effdate of next record.
I want to create a stored procedure that will take filtered entries from one table and insert them into another table. I have created stored procedures using variables but what is the best way of taking data from one table to another?
i hav column in table which already conatins data, now i want to append some more data to it.how do i do it so that earler content does not get deleted
Hi I'd like to create a table on our SQL server that I can append records to when running a query.
What i intend to do is create a new table with the same fields as the query then when the query runs i want it to append the results to this new table. Is this possible? How would I go about creating the table, primary key etc?
I've tried doing this through an access front end but its not efficient and was a bit of a struggle to be honest.
Also, we need other people who may not have access to enterprise manager to be able to run this append query. Danny
I have a problem with a dropdowncontrol. It is databound, but I need to add "select..." to be the first item in the dropdown. Here is the SQL:SELECT * FROM [PB_Subtopics] Where BriefID=" + DropDownList1.SelectedValueSo the problem I am having is I can't just make an item in the dropdownlist called "select..." and then use appenddatabounditems="true". I'm using ajax and it keeps appending stuff over an over without resetting. So I think I'm going to have to do this within the sql. So maybe that was more information than you needed to know. Anyone know how to make the first row of my SQL results be "select..." or whatnot with a value of 0.
How do I append data on an update? I have a table with a field that is nVarchar(1000) and the initial insert is a few sentences. If I wanted to add to that row using an update statement and without starting at the end of the sentences, how would I write that?
Update table set fieldname = 'more data' where value = @variable
instead of
Update table set fieldname = 'initial data more data' where value = @variable
and the 'more data' appends to the initial data... hmmm

I need to copy data from one SQL table to another SQL table. Is is possible to use DTS to Append and update data from one table to another....along the line of using a Microsoft Access append or update query?
I have a huge table with data.I run a procedure everyday to update the table's data with our daily current sales.Let's say the table's primary index is product type.The procedure recreates a skeleton of the table to make sure that it will add only those records whose product type is new to our database thus ignoring the rest of the records due to duplicate key violation error.Now this used to work in access where I used to get a message saying that only 200 out of 4000 records were added,3800 were ignored due to violation key errors. But in SQL Server, no records at all are being added.Is there a way to overcome this problem?? I tried using "set xact abort" but it only worked in case of foreign key violation but not primary key. I would really appreciate your inquiry. Thank you.
Hi guys I have a quick Q: I have two tables: tblOne ID/ PageName / Desc /URL 12/Home Page/This is the home page/www.fff.com tblTwo ID/ Name /Link 34/News Page/www.bbb.ie
I wish to create a new table or stored procedure to append one table(which has 4 colums) onto the other(which has only 3 columns) giving the following results: ID / Name /Link 12/Home Page/www.fff.com 34/News Page/www.bbb.ie
I would highly appreciate help to : I have two databases that are of the same schema but in one-database-A the records are a bit older than the other database-B. I would lilke to sync the records from database-B to database-A appending the records to database-A. The schemas have constraints,primary keys and other defaults in common.
What is the best way to do this task? I tried to use DTS but it fails throwing error Primary key violations on the tables.
I have a bcp command that works fine except that I want it to over write what is in the table rather than append to it. Is there a way to do this or another method I should try?

I looked at sysobjects, and syscolumns tables, but was unable to put it all together. I have over 200+ tables, so creating variables for every column is very cumbersome.
Something like this:
select 0 AS SortCol , cast(min(case ordinal_position when 1 then column_name end) as varchar) as col1, cast(min(case ordinal_position when 2 then column_name end) as varchar) as col2, cast(min(case ordinal_position when 3 then column_name end) as varchar) as col3, cast(min(case ordinal_position when 4 then column_name end) as varchar) as col4, cast(min(case ordinal_position when 5 then column_name end) as varchar) as col5, cast(min(case ordinal_position when 6 then column_name end) as varchar) as col6, cast(min(case ordinal_position when 7 then column_name end) as varchar) as col7, cast(min(case ordinal_position when 8 then column_name end) as varchar) as col8, cast(min(case ordinal_position when 9 then column_name end) as varchar) as col9 from information_schema.columns where table_name = 'authors' union all select 1 , au_id, au_lname, au_fname, phone, address, city, state, zip, cast(contract as varchar) from authors
We have a file where my co-employee backup's our database. The problem is that the file is getting too large because he always use APPEND when he backup's. Is there a way to delete some of the appended backup instances? Thank you very much for your help.
hi, I am in the process of creating an append query that sends the fields of an open form from my ms access 2000 db to a table in ms sql 2000. I've successfully linked the ms sql tables and created the query to pull data from my form but when i run the append i get a key violation error and nothing gets appended. I know which field is the primary key in ms sql i just don't know how to change my access table to suit, any ideas?
To start I've made my append query simple and it just pulls the contact name. Here's my sql statement if that helps. CODE INSERT INTO dbo_PatientMaster ( PatientFirstName, PatientLastName, PatientAccountNumber ) SELECT [Forms]![Contacts]![FirstName] AS Firstname, [Forms]![Contacts]![LastName] AS [Last], [Contacts]![PatientAccountNumber] AS [Patient Account Number] FROM Contacts, dbo_PatientMaster GROUP BY [Forms]![Contacts]![FirstName], [Forms]![Contacts]![LastName], [Contacts]![PatientAccountNumber]; In access the patient account number is empty and I just created that field in my access table today.
Is there a way to do so on the fly in SQL Server 2000? In other words, a field has the latest update date for the table and we wish to use this date as part of the table name. If so, please provide an example.
I am doing an A level database project. I need to build a system to deal with ordering and selling products.
I am trying to make an append query that will append all the products bought in my "invoices" table to my "archive" table. I want invoices that are three months old to be transferred the the "archive" table. I have been trying to put a criteria in the query for the Date field but I haven't managed to find an expression that works.
I'm sorry if this is too simple and you guys think im just being stupid. I figured it was worth asking on here!! It's really bugging me.
Ivan writes "Hello, I am very new to SQL so this may be super easy, or rediculously complex... not sure.
I have a database with a bunch of customers and their total purchase (as well as other junk)on each instance. I want to append a new column to the database that is equal to the average purchase each person makes.
how do I get SQL to calculate the average purchase for each customer and insert that value into every instance of the customer's average purchase field?
the database is static, in that no more data will be added, so a one time aggregation dump is what I need.
