T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Order Change In Parent To Its Child Tables Using FK Relations?

Apr 20, 2015

I have used Aasim Abdullah's (below link) stored procedure for dynamically generate code for deletion of child tables based on parent with certain filter condition. But I am getting a output which is not proper (Query 1). I would like to have output mentioned in Query 2.

Link:

[URL]

--[Patient] is the Parent table, [Case] is child table and [ChartInstanceCase] is grand child

--When I am deleting a grand child table, it should be linked to child table first followed by Parent

--- query 1

DELETE Top(100000) FROM [dbo].[ChartInstanceCase]
FROM [dbo].[Patient] INNER JOIN [dbo].[Case] ON [Patient].[PatientID] = [Case].[PatientID]
INNER JOIN [dbo].[ChartInstanceCase] ON [Case].[CaseID] = [ChartInstanceCase].[CaseId]
WHERE [Patient].PracticeID = '55';

--Query 2

DELETE Top(100000) [dbo].[ChartInstanceCase]
FROM [dbo].[ChartInstanceCase] INNER JOIN [dbo].[Case] ON [ChartInstanceCase].[CaseId]=[Case].[CaseID]
INNER JOIN [dbo].[Patient] ON [Patient].[PatientID] = [Case].[PatientID]
WHERE [Patient].PracticeID = '55';

how to modify the SP 'dbo.uspCascadeDelete' to get the output as Query 2.

Mass Table Structure Change For Column Order

Feb 26, 2008



Say you have an existing populated SQL 2005 database, with 700+ tables, and you want to just change the order of the columns inside every table. Short of manually building conversion scripts, anyone know an automated way to do this? I was thinking thru ways to do them all in one shot, and have tools like Erwin and DbGhost that could be used also. Basically moving some standard audit columns from the end of the tables to just after the PK columns.

Thanks, Bruce

Change Column Data In All Tables At Once

Sep 17, 2005

I would like to change column data in all tables in a single database at once.

For instance, i have many tables in a database, and about 30% of the tables has the column "orderplace".
And all the data in orderplace (every tables in the database) are "houston". instead of going to each table and
"update table set orderplace = 'dallas' " .... is there anyway that i could run a sql statement and it will update all the tables in database that has the orderplace column to "orderplace = 'dallas' " ?

any ideas ? thanks.

Transact SQL :: Find Unmatching Columns Between Two Tables While Applying A Change Column Prefix Table

Nov 16, 2015

For our ETL process, we maintain a TransformationList table that has the source view and the destination table. Data is copied from the view into the table (INSERT INTO). I am trying to find column names in the Views that are not column names in the associated Table.

In the below example, want to end up with three records:

 1, View1, Column4
 2, View2, Column4
 2, View2, Column5

I have it almost working, except that there is a table, ChangeColPrefix table, that is used by the ETL process to change some of the view's column name prefixes. Some of the source views have column names with prefixes that do not match the destination table column names. Say view SouthBase has all the column names prefixed with SB - like SBAcct, SBName. And the Destination table of Area District has ADAcct, ADName. There would be a row in the ChangeColPrefix for SouthBase, SB, AD, 1, 2 that would be used by the ETL process to create the INSERT INTO Area District From SouthBase.

I need to use this ChangeColPreifx to find my unmatching columns between my source views and destination tables. With out that table SBAcct and SBName from SouthBase will not appear to match the columns of ADAcct and ADName, but they do match.

I want to end up with these three records as non-matching:

View1, Column4
View2, Column4
View2, Column5

View1 has Salumn2 and View2 has Salumn5, and they must be changed to Column2 and Column5 as per the ChangeColPrefix table before running the Select from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS EXCEPT Select from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS looking for unmatched columns.

/***** Set Up Test Data *****/
-- Create 2 test views
IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM sys.views WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[View1]'))
DROP VIEW dbo.[View1]
GO
CREATE VIEW View1
AS SELECT '1' AS Column1 , '2' AS Salumn2 , '4' AS Column4;

[Code] ....

Default Sort Order When Order By Column Value Are All The Same

Apr 14, 2008

Hi,
We got a problem.
supposing we have a table like this:

CREATE TABLE a (
aId int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
aName string2 NOT NULL
)
go
ALTER TABLE a ADD
CONSTRAINT PK_a PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (aId)
go


insert into a values ('bank of abcde');
insert into a values ('bank of abcde');
...
... (20 times)

select top 5 * from a order by aName
Result is:
6Bank of abcde
5Bank of abcde
4Bank of abcde
3Bank of abcde
2Bank of abcde

select top 10 * from a order by aName
Result is:
11Bank of abcde
10Bank of abcde
9Bank of abcde
8Bank of abcde
7Bank of abcde
6Bank of abcde
5Bank of abcde
4Bank of abcde
3Bank of abcde
2Bank of abcde

According to this result, user see the first 5 records with id 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 in page 1, but when he tries to view page 2, he still see the records with id 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. This is not correct for users. :eek:

Of course we can add order by aid also, but there are tons of sqls like this, we can't update our application in one shot.

So I ask for your advice here, is there any settings can tell the db use default sort order when the order by column value are the same? Or is there any other solution to resolve this problem in one shot?

How To Change The Order Of Rows In Datatable Randomly?

Mar 26, 2006

Hello!

I would like randomly change the order of the rows in my table. Is there any way to do that? I also have a question about random generator. Is it possible to get a repeatable sequence of random numbers between 1 and 10 in T-SQL? (for example 2,7,6,5,8,9,3,2,....each state with the same probability). But i need the same sequence every time i run my procedure. I know this is just a pseudo generator. I tried to use function rand([seed]) and change the seed value, but I got some strange results...(floor(rand([seed])*100))

Thanx for any idea,

Z.

Replication :: Merge Rep Schema Change And Processing Order

Jul 14, 2015

Question re Merge rep (pull) and processing order.  We have a group of changes associated with an app upgrade, the scripts run fine on the publisher.   Part of the change includes creation of a new table , followed by altering a view to use new table.Following the change at the publisher, when the sync is kicked off from the subscriber, it fails - the alter of the view throws an'invalid object' error with regard to the new table.  Seems as if the view alter is attempted before the dependant table has been created. 

I have tried to amend the processing order of the view using sp_changearticle, which executes (quickly) with a 0 return code.But it is to no avail , the error still occurs.   is it possible to change the processing order for a view article , which will be applied to schema changes ? Have

Need Help, How To Change Datatype In Order To Sort Some Extracted Numbers From String

Hello,

I am trying to extract from some strings like the following strings the number and order them by that number:

Box 1
Box 2
Box 3
Box 20
Box 21
...(and so on)


The problem I am having is that I already extracted the number using

Substring([field],[starting position],[lenght])

but the output seems to be in a string format, so the order is not in an ascending order.

Thanks for any suggestions.

How To Order A Column

Nov 30, 2004

To order a recordset I can simply do
"Select * From Table Order by ColumnName;"

But my need is different.

In a column I have the following content:
"C"
"P"
"F"
"A"

But "F" and "A" may exist more than once.

I must order the recordset always in the order
"C"
"P"
"F"
"A"

and not "A", "C", "F", "P".

Can anyone pls help me?

Thanks in advance.
