I'd like to know if I can make one proc/cursor that I can pass only a table name and it will determine what cols exist in the table?
AND, what is the syntax for such a query?
I will be receiving data back where I will receive the accountID and only the deltas will have values all other columns will be null.
My proc will update an existing record, updating the specific col when an accountID exists, it will create a new record if the accountID does not exist.
I'd like to search all the cols getting their names and values when not null.
I can construct a proc for each table searching each col by known name.
However, I'd like to know if I can make one proc/cursor that I can pass only a table name and it will determine the cols?
All my tables start with cols AccountID and end with RecID with any number of cols inbetween.
TIA

I have about 30 tabs with same struture. I want to simple put column 2 in all 30 table in a new table without joining on anything. Is there a way to do that? Thanks JP
I have data in rows that I need to aggregate and display in a columnar fashion and I haven't been able to figure out how to do it. A simplified version of the data as it is stored in the table:
Station Month Day Reading
1 1 1 100
1 1 2 200
1 1 3 300
1 2 1 400
1 2 2 500
And I would like to create a query that returns:
Station Month Day 1 Day 2 Day 3
1 1 100 200 300
1 2 400 500
Any help you can provide or tips to steer me in the right direction are much appreciated.
I need to setup a script to read all the table names in the database above and then query the database to find the list of Stored Procedure using each table.(SQL Server)
I have a table with 1 column containing numeric values, and I need to create a query which displays the count of values for each set of conditions. For example, if the table contains the values 1,2,3,4,5 and 6, the output of the query should look like this:
L M H ----------------------- 3 2 1
(L are values below 4, M between 4 and 5, H is 6 and above)
Hi I have a table which has couple of name cols and 10 varchar columns. The requirement was to retain the first two cols but convert the 10 cols into a single XMl.
and this query to convert all the varchar cols to a XML. Now the problem is I am not sure of how to combine both these queries to Insert into the new table.
With reference to http://www.intelligententerprise.com/001020/celko.jhtml?_requestid=235427 I want the "sql stmt" which wud give the lft and rgt col values..
i am reading his book but cant understand :eek: where he explains wat lft and rgt cols are..
"The root is always (lft,rgt) (1, 2*(Select count(*)from table) and leaft nodes are (lft+1=rgt)" :S
I need to make the automatic subtotal column in most right position in a matrix wider than the data columns , i faild so far and discovered that its width is proportional to the data column width , its logic for the total column to be wider since its value is sum(all left data columns)
CREATE TABLE [RS_A] ([ColA] [varchar] (10)[ColB] [int] NULL)CREATE TABLE [RS_B] ([ColA] [varchar] (10)[ColB] [int] NULL)INSERT INTO RS_AVALUES ('hemingway' , 1)INSERT INTO RS_AVALUES ('vidal' , 2)INSERT INTO RS_AVALUES ('dickens' , 3)INSERT INTO RS_AVALUES ('rushdie' , 4)INSERT INTO RS_BVALUES ('hemingway' , 1)INSERT INTO RS_BVALUES ('vidal' , 2)I need to find all the rows in A which do not exist in Bby matching on both ColA and ColBso the output should bedickens 3rushdie 4So if i write a query like this , I dont get the right result setSELECT A.ColA, A.ColBFROMRS_A AINNERJOIN RS_B BONA.ColA <B.ColAORB.ColB <B.ColBBut if i do the following, i do get the right result, but followingseems convoluted.SELECT A.ColA, A.ColBFROMRS_A AWHERE ColA + CAST(ColB AS VARCHAR)NOT IN (SELECT ColA+CAST(ColB AS VARCHAR) FROMRS_B B)
I have table 'stores' that has 3 columns (storeid, article, doc), I have a second table 'allstores' that has 3 columns(storeid(always 'ALL'), article, doc). The stores table's storeid column will have a stores id, then will have multiple articles, and docs. The 'allstores' table will have 'all' in the store for every article and doc combination. This table is like the master lookup table for all possible article and doc combinations. The 'stores' table will have the actual article and doc per storeid.
What I am wanting to pull is all article, doc combinations that exist in the 'allstores' table, but do not exist in the 'stores' table, per storeid. So if the article/doc combination exists in the 'allstores' table and in the 'stores' table for storeid of 50 does not use that combination, but store 51 does, I want the output of storeid 50, and what combination does not exist for that storeid. I will try this example:
'allstores' 'Stores' storeid doc article storeid doc article ALL 0010 001 101 0010 001 ALL 0010 002 101 0010 002 ALL 0011 001 102 0011 002 ALL 0011 002
So I want the query to pull the one from 'allstores' that does not exist in 'stores' which in this case would the 3rd record "ALL 0011 001".
I have a Product table with the columnsAcctNumProdCodeInvoiceDateI can have multiple rows for a given AcctNum:123 A 01/01/2005123 B 01/02/2005123 C 01/03/2005234 C 02/01/2004345 A 01/01/2005345 B 01/02/2005I need the max(InvoiceDate) and if the max for a given AcctNum is a ProdCode= B. So if the latest InvoiceDate is for a given AcctNum is B then returnthat row.123 B 01/02/2005Would not be returned because the max Invoice date for AcctNum 123 isProdCode C.345 B 01/02/2005Would be returned because the max Invoice date for AcctNum 345 is ProdCodeB.I can solve this using a cursor fairly easily by using a distinct AcctNum inthe cursor select and getting the max InvoiceDate for each AcctNum. This isa costly and I'm looking for a solution using temp tables or a query tohandle this problem.I hope I have made this clear enough (sorry if I was too verbose). Thanks inadvance for your help.-p
I need to find out some property of a tableAs following sql statement: select mtable.name,mcolumn.name,mtype.name,mcolumn.is_identity from sys.tables mtable, sys.all_columns mcolumn, sys.types mtype where mcolumn.object_id = mtable.object_id and mcolumn.system_type_id = mtype.system_type_id and mtable.name in ('TestTable') order by mtable.name,mcolumn.column_id
But there is no PK information. Follwing sql statement shows the PK name of a table, but no composite info(which fields): select mtable.name,mkey.name from sys.key_constraints mkey, sys.tables mtable where mkey.parent_object_id = mtable.object_id and mkey.type = 'PK' and mkey.name like 'TestTable'
How can I find which fields are PK in a table?thanks... -Winson
So randomly every 1 to 6 days queries start timing out and I'm almost positive it's from an improperly terminated transaction Is there a way to snoop this out the next time it happens? Like when a table's locked I can look and see yea this is the transaction it's in the middle of?
Find value match in SQL table Is there any application that can compare two tables and find the similarities (there is no high rate of exact match on the field values but there are similarities)?
Hi, I have table which stores the fund name and its data. We get quarterly information from the fund co. Suppose if the user wants to add a fund thats not in our database we let then add a ClientFundId and a FundName. But may be after sometime the fund company may add that fund in the next quarter.. So how do i get rid of Duplicated Data.. In the ClientFundId column we can a 9 letter Aplhanumeric or a 5 letter character but if the fund co.. provides those values the 5 letter characters are stored in Ticker column and the 9 letter words are stored in Cusip column.. So i just wrote this query hoping i could retrieve the duplicate values but it didnt list any..but i found one this is my query.. Select FundId, Cusip, Ticker, ClientFundId, FundName, ShortName From Fund Where
ClientFundId = Ticker or ClientFundId = Cusip Any help will appreciated Thanks Karen
Hello, I have 2 tables, and use objectdatasource and stored procedures, with sql server. Let say in the first table I have IDCustomer as a datakey, and other records, and in the second I have the same IDCustomer and CustomerName. I have an INSERT stored procedure that will create a new record in the first table (so generate a new IDCustomer value), and I would like to insert immediately this new value in the second table. How can I know the value of this new IDCustomer ? What is the best way to handle that ? Once the insert in the first table is done should read it the table and extract (with an executescalar) the value and then insert it in the second table ? This solution should work but I am not sure this is the best one. Thanks for your help.

does someone have a querry to display the duplicate records in a table.
Table: zipcode dma
My data upload is failing because there is a primary key on zipcode and the source data (42k records) has about 50 duplicate zipcode records in it. It is possible that there is a unique combo of zipcode / dma but I need to identify the duplicate records to determine that.
How can i find out the no of rows in each table. if the no of table are more than thousands(i.e. 1000+,2000+ etc..) are there. Certainly 'select count(0) from <table>' is not the good idea. Egarly awaiting for the solution.
I need to find the primary key of a table, in MySQL i used SHOW COLUMNS and looped through them to find which one was primary if any. The MSSQL equivalent is SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'table_name' apparently. However the result doesnt give me any key information. How can i find out 1. if a primary key exists on a table 2. what column that primary key exists on
