I have two tables and I want to know if every record from the first table is in the second one and if its data mathes exactly?
Any suggestion for a short way to do this?
Thank you!
I am trying to determine the changes an application makes to a database.The plan is to copy the existing schema (active) to a reference schema, runthe application and then diff the table data between the reference and thea active schema. I have found one software vendor who has a tool to dothis, but it will only do one table at a time (interactively); I have morethen 300 and will run this a few times.One other way of determining the changes, I guess, would be to log all sqlstatements (in order), but I don't know how to do this (either).Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.Leo
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to QA data being put into a SQL database by an outside source (from Excel) and therefore need to compare two (for the sake of simplicity) tables within a database to one another.
The two tables should contain the same data, and the QA process is meant to find and report any discrepancies. The column names are slightly different.
My question then is, is it possible to write a simple SQL query which will compare the data from the two tables and select only those rows where the data in any given column does not match? My data is mostly text, not numerical.
I'm very new at using SQL and my knowledge of the query syntax is very basic.
Thanks for any help in advance!

I have 2 databases( "A" + "B") with identical number of tables and identical number of records for each table. There are also identical number of fields pre record per table. Table A has had the sensitive data within the fields scrambled.
I need to know if there is a way to read down each DB table by table, record by record, field by field and compare the data values. If they are different I need to output the Field name, the data value and the Table name from the Scrambled Table (lets say its "A").
I try to compare and select data from table that which not in other table
Select
AAA_Id
,BBB
From dbo.Table1 a
Where AAA_Id not in(Select b.AAA_Id
From dbo.Table2 b, dbo.Table1 a
Where b.AAA_Id = 11)
But when I modified it like:
Select
AAA_Id
,BBB
From dbo.Table1 a
union
Select
0
,'Select'
From dbo.Table1 a
Where AAA_Id not in(Select b.AAA_Id
From dbo.Table2 b, dbo.Table1 a
Where b.AAA_Id = 11)
Order by 2
I cannot to get same result.
Hi there-

Hey all, got abit of a problem. Ive got a database where ive got 2 tables. I want to create a command which selects * from table 1 and if the same values are in table2 - it updates otherwise adds. Ive got a loop so i can run through the data records But i dont know how i check 1 objrs against another within an sql statement?? please look at coding example below:
Im calling my data from the 2 tables using select commands- which is ok.- uses objrs1 and objrs2
Then im running my loop to check if data from table 1 is in table2:
Dim Q
For J = 1 to iRowCount2
Q= Q+1
Call select2Cmd( )
response.write(Q)
response.write("</br>")
Next
response.end
Heres my sql statement which checks this:
sub select2Cmd( )
'========================================================================================
SET objrs5= SERVER.createObject( "ADODB.recordSet" )
dim sqlStatment
sqlStatment = "SELECT * FROM [table2] WHERE [Name] = objRs2(Name) "
objrs5.OPEN sqlStatment,objConn2,1,3
'========================================================================================
end sub
I want to check the field [Name] in table2 with data from table1 and then loop to the
next record. How do I do this? Please note the bold part is what im stuck on.
Thanks

I need to compare two identical tables and return the rows that are different,they are not having any primary key. Anyone to help with the query?
Thanks.
Is it possible (easily) to compare two identical tables (one from server1 'SQL7', one a download from an Oracle DB into SQL7) to see if the Oracle table has changed, what is the changed row and place said row into another table to do some other process on those changed rows?
Thanks,

Hi,
Need help with the structuring of the following query:
I've got 2 tables nl :tableA, tableB
I need to do a query to determine wat DISTINCT values of a column(cIdNo) in tableA is not present in column (bIdNo) in tableB.
tableA contains Id numbers of people who still has to pay their bills, and tableB contains Id numbers of people who already paid. So I want a query to determine who still needs to pay.
I've tried the following but doesn't work, not to sure if it's the right wayto do it:
PHP Code:
SELECT distinct(cIdno) as IdNumber
FROM tableA
LEFT JOIN tableB
ON tableA.cIdNo != tableB.bIdNo
PLEASE HELP !! Thanks in advance !!!
I have two the same structure tables. One is the source table (table1), another one is the destination table (table2).
Now I want to compare these two table row by row.
For example,
If table1 row1 is the same as table2 row1, go to next
If table1 row2 is not the same as table2 row2, update table2 row2 to make it the same as table1 row2.
If table1 row3 is not existed in table2 row3, insert table1 row3 into table2 blank new row.

I have 2 tables that are exactally the same.
Table 1 - Is named LIVE
Table 2 - Is name EOM (End of Month)
The 2 tables have these fields
MEMBER
STREET
I want to build a query that will return any member who has changed their address (ex: member's eom address is "123 main st", and now their live address is "345 apple st")
But I do not want to display any addresses that are different because that member wasn't a member last month (not in the eom table)
Note: Member Numbers Never Change, only addresses will.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

hi, I'm pretty new to ssis so this may be an absolute beginner question but i couldn't find a solution yet. the task is to compare data from tow tables which are of the same structure. table1 contains data before some operations and table2 contains the results. now i have to find out which datasets have been changed, which one are new and which one are gone.
i've done some googlin and found this TableDifference http://www.sqlbi.eu/Projects/TableDifference/tabid/74/Default.aspx component, but to me it seems to be kind of buggy, so I had the idea of trying to set an sql statement on both ole db sources where i tried to select only the datasets that are not contained in the other table. so i tried something like this:
select * from lib.table_1 except select * from lib.table_2
but this doesn't work either. so i would be really thankful if someone could help me.
Can anyone give me the query that I can use to to compare the data between two similar tables.Data from col1,col2,col3,col4 needs to be compared. Col1 is primary key in both the tables.It should return with zero rows if they are same.
Thanks for any help.
Would appreciate if someone could help!

Hi,
I am trying to write a query to compare the same column in each table with "not equal" expression.
My query is like this:
select tableOne.empl_ser_no from tableOne, tableTwo
where tableOnel.empl_ser_no <>(select empl_ser_no from tableTwo)
I am getting the following message from SQL Server:
Msg 512, Level 16, State 1
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is illegal when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >=, or when the subquery is used as an expression.

I want to compare the tables using first name, and I have a log variable which I want to have the value as per the differences in the table that is if the first name matches and second name and dob dont match it shows log value for that FN as 'LN and DOB dont match'.
similarly if First name matches and dob matches then @log is 'LN not match'.
And in case all three match it should show 'match'as log value.The query I use is a s follows:-
Code:
USE testing
GO
DECLARE @NR int
DECLARE @log varchar(200)
SELECT @NR = COUNT(*) FROM a
WHILE @NR>0
[code]...
the result I am getting is :-
Code:
fnlndob (No column name)

I have tried using CASE but that doesnt work either.
I need to compare if two developers did the job correctly and created identical tables.
The problem is more complex, but I will try to solve it somehow if I solve the problem of comparing two tables (let them be in different SQL Server 2008 databases) and their properties. No data needs to be compared.
I have two tables. One is Invoice_tbl, with one account per customer.
This table has 3 fields; CustomerID, InvoiceAmount, InvoiceID.
Then second table is, Payment_tbl, with 2 fields; InvoiceID and PaymentAmount. The Payment table can have multiple payments from each customer.
With Access, i would run a QUERY(call it PaymentTotal) against Payment_tbl, then do a "GroupBy" on InvoiceID and SUM on the "Amount" field.
I then would create a NEW query against Invoice_tbl and INNER JOIN on Payment Total.
How would i do this with SQL?
I have 2 tables. They both have the same fields [OFO_Code] and [Description]
Table 1 is Called Qualification and Table 2 OFO_Code. The second table is a lookup table. The info in Table 1 's description column in some places does not match that of Table 2.
I am trying to loop through these tables to Update the info in Table 1's description to match the correct description in Table 2.
Their are 1417 items in Table 2 and 77000 items in table 1.
There are NO errors when executing, just no update
Here is my code so far:
Code:
Update Qualification SET [Description] = B.Description FROM Qualification A INNER JOIN OFO_code B ON A.OFO_CODE = B.OFO_CODE WHERE A.OFO_Code IN ('" & OFO & "' )"

I need to compare Table 1 & 2 using SQL server and how can I achieve this?
I have a database I want to query. It is a medical billing system. I basically want to compare a list of Names and Birthdates in an Excel spreadsheet to the table of patients in the database that have that insurance type and return only the rows from the spreadsheet that don't exist in the database.
This is an eligibility list, so we need to find those that don't have this insurance set up for them in our billing system and update their records.
We will probably want to do the update manually so I don't mess it up too bad , but would like to zero in on who needs the updates rather than having to look at every single record.
Any ideas on how to approach this?
Would this be a join, or would I need to do a select from table 1 where pt/insurance not in select pt/ins from table 2?
ans writes "I’m using SQL Server
• I’ve got 3 tables: tblOne, tblTwo, tblThree
• Using the stored procedure(let call this stored procedure sp_Result) I generate result using all the above tables(tblOne, tblTwo, tblThree).
• The problem is, it takes too long to execute(around 15 sec), which is not acceptable as I’m using in the result in the web application
• I’m thinking of scheduling to run the above stored procedure to run once every hour and write the result in a new table, tblResult.
• now the user only queries in the tblResult tables. Since it is a straight forward query it will take less than 1 sec. Perfect !!!
• Now the tblResult already exist, and the user are queries only to this table.
• How would I compare the result produced by stored procedure sp_result and the table tblResult?
• How would I update tblResult with the produced result?
• Would be a good idea to write the result in a new table called temp, then drop the table tblResult and then rename the table temp to tblResult?"

Hi there,
Can someone please help me figure out how I can write a select statement that returns a row from one table and the count of records from the second table using the row name from the first table?
In other words:
First table has only one column "name" and that table name is called "namelist"
Second table has multiple columns, and the table is called "name"
so, what i want to do is something like:
select name from namelist and select count(*) from [name]
results should be:
sean,0
bob,1
tom,5
etc...
