How To Make Sure In An Insert Statement That The Vendor Being Inserted Does Not Exist?
Dec 3, 2006
I am using INSERT into Vendors (.....) VALUES (....) form of insert statement. How can I make sure that the insert fails if thie new vendor's vendorname exists?
I cannot create a unique index on 'VendorName' column since it is more than 900 bytes and SQL Server will not allow to create index on a column bigger than 900 bytes.
In my ETL job I would like to truncate stg table but before truncating stging table, I want to make sure that all the records are inserted in the data model. The sample is as below
create table #stg ( CreateID int, Name nvarchar(10) ) insert into #stg select 1, 'a' union all select 2, 'b' union all
[Code] ....
How can I check among these tables and make sure that all values are loaded into the data model and the staging table can be truncated.
We have a database called Itemphotos. In this table is a field called 'PID' picture ID. We have a photos directory with files like 2181.jpg, 2182.jpg, 2184.jpg. The number is the ID number for the picture of the part. If a record exist in the database based on the PID "Primary Key" , check the directory to make sure the jpg file exist. Here is the code I have so far.
use [ItemPhotos] select pid from dbo.itemdata declare @file_path nvarchar(500) declare @file_exists int set @file_path = 'av-sql2c$inetpubphotosmacolaphotos' + [itemdata].[pid]
I have recently downloaded SQL Server Express which I have installed using Windows authentication mode. I cannot seem to be able to make a connection to SQL Server from Dreamweaver or Microsoft Visual Web Developer as I am getting an error Server does not exist or access is denied....
I am relatively new to all of this, so would appreciate any advice....
When I installed SQL Server Express I chose Windows Authentication. When I fire up SQL Express and view Security option - the installation program has set up an sa login with a random password. I did not set this password, but think this might be a reason why I can't connect. To rectify the problem I tried creating a new user in SQL Server Express with a password that I specified. On going in to check the settings, I notice SQL Server Express has gone and changed it from the password that I set up.
Now when I try and connect to SQL Server Express I specify the following in the connection paramaters
Server: BGIRLSQLEXPRESS
Database The database name that I've created
User: the new user that I created
Password: the password I created as part of new user setup
Now I get error message Server does not exist or access denied
Is the problem to do with passwords or perhaps one of the many parameters one seems to have to set up? How can I change a password if I didn't create it? Is there anywhere I can reset it?
PLEASE HELP - I have literally spent 3 days attempting to get this working and am about to give up entirely. Due to my lack of experience, I need very specific step by step instructions..
I'm learning SQL and here I'm trying to use two things that I'm not familiar with - IF statements and the Inserted temporary table. Here's the background - skip this paragraph if you like. I'm working on a tasking system for the Help Desk - they get requests from the web site for various items and I break up the request into Software, Hardware, Accounts, etc tables and list the status of each item as "Requested". I'm also keeping a Tasks table to make work orders for each item requested. I've got triggers on the Accounts and Hardware tables that automatically make a new task for those items but the Software is more tricky because all software for a given request should be just one task. Software installs are all done by one person at the same time. So I'm trying to make a trigger that creates a new Task when a new Software record is inserted. But if a task already exists with the same RequestID (meaning they requested two peices of software and this is the second one), then I just want to update the task already created. Here's what I got: 1 CREATE TRIGGER [NewSoftwareTask] 2 ON [dbo].[Software] 3 AFTER INSERT 4 AS 5 BEGIN 6 7 -- If a software task already exists for this request 8 -- then update it. Otherwise create a new task. 9 10 if exists(select TasksID 11 from Tasks 12 where Tasks.RequestsID = inserted.RequestsID and 13 TasksType = 'Software') 14 BEGIN 15 UPDATE [BGHelpdesk].[dbo].[Tasks] 16 SET [TasksDescription] = [TasksDescription] + vbcrlf + "Install " + inserted.SoftwareType + ". " + inserted.SoftwareComments 17 WHERE Tasks.RequestsID = inserted.RequestsID and 18 TasksType = 'Software' 19 END 20 21 else 22 23 BEGIN 24 INSERT INTO [BGHelpdesk].[dbo].[Tasks] 25 ([RequestsID] 26 ,[TasksType] 27 ,[TasksSubType] 28 ,[TasksTitle] 29 ,[TasksDescription]) 30 SELECT 31 s.RequestsID 32 ,'Software' 33 ,s.SoftwareType 34 ,'New ' + s.SoftwareType + ' Account for Request ' + cast(s.RequestsID AS varchar) 35 ,s.SoftwareComments 36 FROM Software s join 37 inserted ON s.SoftwareID = inserted.SoftwareID 38 END 39 END 40 GO
It keeps balking at lines 12 and 17 saying "The multi-part identifier "inserted.RequestsID" could not be bound." The ELSE statement is what I use on the other tables and it works fine so the inserted temp record seems pretty straightforward but I must be doing something wrong...
SET @new_identity = @@IDENTITY SET @new_link = @item_link + @new_identity
UPDATE items SET item_link = @new_link WHERE item_id = @new_identity
END GO
Basically, what I am trying to do is this...
IF the item type is article, insert normally... which works fine...
however, if the item time is mediaItem, insert part of the item_link... (everything minus id.. eg: site.com/items.aspx?item_id=)... then once the row has been inserted, update that row, to make the link site.com/items.aspx?item_id=<new id>
however, when the sql runs the mediaItem code, it leaves the item_link field blank.
This is like the bug from hell. It is kind of hard to explain, soplease bear with me.Background Info: SQL Server 7.0, on an NT box, Active Server pageswith Javascript, using ADO objects.I'm inserting simple records into a table. But one insert command isplacing 2 or 3 records into the table. The 'extra' records, have thesame data as the previous insert incident, (except for the timestamp).Here is an example. Follow the values of the 'Search String' field:I inserted one record at a time, in the following order (And only oneinsert per item):airplanejetdogcatmousetigerAfter this, I should have had 6 records in the table. But, I endedup with 11!Here is what was recorded in the database:Vid DateTime Type ProductName SearchString NumResultscgcgGeorgeWeb3 Fri Sep 26 09:48:26 PDT 2003 i null airplane 112cgcgGeorgeWeb3 Fri Sep 26 09:49:37 PDT 2003 i null jet 52cgcgGeorgeWeb3 Fri Sep 26 09:50:00 PDT 2003 i null dog 49cgcgGeorgeWeb3 Fri Sep 26 09:50:00 PDT 2003 i null jet 52cgcgGeorgeWeb3 Fri Sep 26 09:50:00 PDT 2003 i null jet 52cgcgGeorgeWeb3 Fri Sep 26 09:50:22 PDT 2003 i null dog 49cgcgGeorgeWeb3 Fri Sep 26 09:50:22 PDT 2003 i null cat 75cgcgGeorgeWeb3 Fri Sep 26 09:52:53 PDT 2003 i null mouse 64cgcgGeorgeWeb3 Fri Sep 26 09:53:06 PDT 2003 i null tiger 14cgcgGeorgeWeb3 Fri Sep 26 09:53:06 PDT 2003 i null mouse 64cgcgGeorgeWeb3 Fri Sep 26 09:53:06 PDT 2003 i null mouse 64Look at the timestamps, and notice which ones are the same.I did one insert for 'dog' , but notice how 2 'jet' records wereinsertedat the same time. Then, when I inserted the 'cat' record, another'dog' record was inserted. I waited awhile, and inserted mouse, andonly the mouse was inserted. But soon after, I inserted 'tiger', and 2more mouse records were inserted.If I wait awhile between inserts, then no extra records are inserted.( Notice 'airplane', and the first 'mouse' entries. ) But if I insertrecords right after one another, then the second record insertion alsoinserts a record with data from the 1st insertion.Here is the complete function, in Javascript (The main code ofinterestmay start at the Query = "INSERT ... statement):----------------------------------------------------------------------//Write SearchTrack Record ------------------------------------Search.prototype.writeSearchTrackRec = function(){Response.Write ("<br>Calling function writeSearchTrack "); // fordebugvar Query;var vid;var type = "i"; // Type is imagevar Q = "', '";var datetime = "GETDATE()";//Get the Vid// First - try to get from the outVid var of Cookieinctry{vid = outVid;}catch(e){vid = Request.Cookies("CGIVid"); // Gets cookie id valuevid = ""+vid;if (vid == 'undefined' || vid == ""){vid = "ImageSearchNoVid";}}try{Query = "INSERT SearchTrack (Vid, Type, SearchString, DateTime,NumResults) ";Query += "VALUES ('"+vid+Q+type+Q+this.searchString+"',"+datetime+","+this.numResults+ ")";this.cmd.CommandText = Query;this.cmd.Execute();}catch(e){writeGenericErrLog("Insert SearchTrack failed", "Vid: "+vid+"- SearchString:: "+this.searchString+" - NumResults: "+this.numResults, e.description);}}//end-----------------------------------------------------------------I also wrote a non-object oriented function, and created the commandobject inside the function. But I had the same results.I know that the function is not getting called multiple timesbecause I print out a message each time it is called.This really stumps me. I'll really appreciate any help you canoffer.Thanks,George
I'm completely stuck in here. I have two tables, for simplicity i'll call them tbl_X and tbl_Y and i'll call the unique key Ukey
I need to create a stored procedure that must be run daily on a scheduled time. When executed, it must compare these two tables and insert rows from tbl_X into tbl_Y when a row exists in tbl_Y but not in tbl_X.
The following code returns the rows that are in tbl_Y, but not in tbl_X: ---------- SELECT Ukey FROM tbl_X WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT Ukey FROM tbl_Y WHERE tbl_Y.Ukey = tbl_X.Ukey) ----------
But....how do i insert these rows into tbl_X ? I've tried to declare the tbl_Y.Ukey and use that to do an INSERT statement, but that didn't work out.
Dear all, I am using C# , asp.net and sql server 2005. Let me explain the situation. I have written procedure to insert data into the table and return last inserted value by @@identity variable. Now my question is how do I execute this process so that I can Get last inserted variable values Please help thanks
I create a Trigger that allows to create news row on other table.
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[TI_Creation_Contact_dansSLX] ON [dbo].[_IMPORT_FILES_CONTACTS] AFTER INSERT AS
[code]...
But if I create an INSERT with 50 rows.. My table CONTACT and ADDRESS possess just one line.I try to create a Cursor.. but I had 50 lines with an AdressID and a ContactID differently, but an Account and an AccountId egual on my CONTACT table :
I have a problem described as follows: I have a table with one instead of insert trigger:
create table TMessage (ID int identity(1,1), dscp varchar(50)) GO Alter trigger tr_tmessage on tmessage instead of insert as --Set NoCount On insert into tmessage
[code]....
When I execute P1 it returns 0 for Id field of @T1.
How can I get the Identity in this case?
PS: I can not use Ident_Current or @@identity as the table insertion hit is very high and can be done concurrently.Also there are some more insertion into different tables in the trigger code, so can not use @@identity either.
well you get the idea here. the problem I am having is that both seller and buyer are linked to the same table address. so I don't really how to do the join statement here. please help about this.
Basically, I need to insert the wbs2 and wbs3 where it does not exist in each wbs1.

Ok,I have a data warehouse that I am pulling records from using OracleSQL. I have a select statement that looks like the one below. Now whatI need to do is where the astrics are **** create a case statement orwhatever it is in Oracle to say that for this record if a 1/19/2005record exists then End_Date needs to be=1/19/2005 else getEnd_Date=12/31/9999. Keep in mind that a record could have both a1/19/2005 and 12/31/9999 instance of that account record. If 1/19exists that takes presedent if it doesnt then 12/31/9999. The problemis that the fields I pull from the table where the end_date is inquestion change based on which date I pull(12/31/9999 being the mostrecient which in some cases as you see I dont want.) so they are notidentical.

I have two different SQL 2008 servers, I don't have permission to create a linked server in any of them. i created a trigger on server1.table1 to insert the same record to the remote server server2.table1 using OPENROWSET
i created a stored procedure to insert this record, and i have no issue when i execute the stored procedure. it insert the recored into the remote server.
The problem is when i call the stored procedure from trigger, i get an error message.
Stored Procedure: USE [DB1] GO SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
[Code] ....
When i try to insert a new description value in the table i got the following error message:
No row was updated the data in row 1 was not committed Error source .Net SqlClient Data provider. Error Message: the operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI10" for linked server "(null)" returned message "The partner transaction manager has disabled its support for remote/network transaction.".
correct the errors entry or press ESC to cancel the change(s).
I've got an access table with about 2 million rows. I'm using this to update a table in SQL that holds pretty much the exact same data, only with an added Identity column.
From week to week, the access table grows. For example, next week it may have 2.1 millions rows, the week after 2.2 million, etc.
The goal of the DTS is to keep the SQL table up to date w/ the access one. In the past, this has been done by deleting everything from the SQL Table and then importing the ENTIRE access table. This not only takes more time then need be, since the majority of the records *already* existed, but it also threw referential integrity out the door - other tables should be referencing the Identity in the SQL Table. IDEALLY, the only rows that would be transferred from the access file are ones that don't already exist in the SQL table.
I don't want to re-invent the wheel, and have to confess being a little under-schooled on all that SSIS has to offer. Is there a Data Flow Transformation that would solve this?? Any other advice? If all else fails, I'd probably just dump the entire access table to a temp table and then insert vals into the production table that don't exist, but even this would require more temp hard drive space then I'd like.
i need to write a query that insert in A table if and only if the row does not exist already in the table (the source is a select statement). i tried the following:
insert into [A] select * from [B] where Not EXISTS (select * from [A])
table [A] is still empty, but it does not insert any thing! .. what i know is that the EXIST checks if the selected row exists in the subquery, ain't ?
Hi.We have stored procedure update specific table Each time it run it delete 5000- 6000 rows from table then insert 5000- 6000 rows with different information. It take up to 1 1/2 min execute.
1.Can force Sql server do not make entry for each insert and if yes would it increase speed of procedure ? 2. Is any other way increase speed of insert?

Im using a store proc in SQL server.I use one table to store my hockey statistics data of each player in the league.When i submit my form i would like to check if there is any sheet of that player that allready exist .. If so then i do update.. if it does not exist i do the insert statement.Here the way i figured it out ! One store proc to do the work of the insert or update. And one to check if the player exist in the statistics table. But i just cant find a way to return a good value from my second store proc. Does my logic make sence ? any ideas ?thank you<code>create procedure Hockey_Player_UpdateForwardStatistics @LeagueID int, @GamePlayerID int, @Games int as declare @PlayerID int @PlayerID = Hockey_CheckPlayerStatistics(@LeagueID, @GamePlayerID) if @PlayerID = 0begininsert into Hockey_PlayerStatistics( Games)values( @Games)end ELSE beginupdate Hockey_PlayerStatistics set Games = @Gameswhere LeagueID = @LeagueID and PlayerID = @PlayerIDend</code>

I am trying to bulk insert a text file into SQL 2005 table. When I execute the bulk insert I get the error
"Msg 4860, Level 16, State 1, Line 1. Cannot bulk load. The file "\ENDUSER-SQLEnduserTextB1020063.txt" does not exist."
The text file that it is saying does not exist I recently created thru my code. I can open the file but only when I rename the file will the Bulk Insert work. After creating the text file I am moving it to the server that SQL server is running on. Also if I run sp_FileExists it also says the file does not exist unless again I rename the file then this stored procedure recognizes the file. I dont' know if I have a permission issue or what is the problem. Any help would be appreiated.
