I want to update my Table but it has 30 fields so how can i modify my table i have to add some fields in it
I need that query for alter table
in it
reply me soon
I've just written a query that successfully brings back the data from one table based on the information from another. Basically we have been given a table of information and need to update certain fields in our user_group table with the new info.
Here is the SELECT statement
SELECT user_group.id, user_group.name, user_group.description, Consultants.description AS Expr10, user_group.btype, user_group.rootmenu,
user_group.intra_user, user_group.primary_g_id, user_group.fname, user_group.lname, user_group.ntlogon, user_group.lang_id,
user_group.[external], user_group.title, user_group.work_tel, user_group.work_fax, user_group.work_ext, user_group.mobile, user_group.sex,
user_group.add2, user_group.add3, user_group.town, user_group.county, user_group.pcode, user_group.private_flag,
[code]....
We want to update the 'description' on the user_group table with the 'description' from the 'consultants' table. To test this, we only want to write the UPDATE so that it changes the description where the name is 'Adam Froth. The UPDATE statement that we've written is
UPDATE user_group
SET user_group.description = Consultants.description
FROM user_group
INNER JOIN Consultants
ON user_group.description = consultants.description
WHERE name like 'Adam Froth%'
but it keeps erroring and saying that it could 'Not be bound'.
question need help
how can i use this code below not for insert
i need it for update another table but only if exist
the link to the code in this FORUM

Since you have such a dependency on dates and date calculations, you should implement a calendar table. A calendar table will make calculation such as this much more simplistic.
Calendar table link http://sqlserver2000.databases.aspfaq.com/why-should-i-consider-using-an-auxiliary-calendar-table.html.
Note the calendar table I use is a little different than this one. The only thing you will need to change is isodate to dt.
Now the code to get the results you need:
Code Snippet
declare @t table(
id int,
fname char(4),
Start_Date datetime,
End_Date datetime,
val_holiday int
)
insert into @t values (111, 'aaaa', '3/15/2008', '03/21/2008', 1 )
insert into @t values (222, 'bbbb', '05/2/2008', '05/9/2008', 3)
insert into @t values (333, 'cccc', '04/3/2008', '05/15/2008', 4)
insert into @t values (333, 'cccc', '04/29/2008', '07/07/2008', 1 )
select id, fname, cal.ISODate, val_holiday
from @t t1
inner join Calendar cal
on cal.isodate >= t1.start_date and
cal.ISODate <= t1.end_date
is possible to do it

I created am inventory table with few columns say, Servername, version, patching details, etc
I want a tracking of the table.
Let's say people are asked to modify the base table and I want a complete capture of the details modified and the session of the user ( ) who (system_user) is actually modifying the details.

Is it possible to creates fields of the table dynamically?. I have this situation in my project. This is just a small sample. I have row of length 140. I don't wan't to declare all this fields manually using the create table command.
The description of table is as, in this table all the field are of type varchar only, there are like 140 columns.
create dummy emp (
field1 VARCHAR(100), field2 varchar(200), field3 VARCHAR(100).... )
Table: Dummy
================================================== ==
field1 field2 field3..........
Empid Empname empaage1 sam 23...........
2 rai 22............
.
.
.
n raj 45.............
================================================== ==
Now I want to create another table as "EMP" , with proper data type
fields too..
create table emp (
empid int, empname varchar(100), empage int....)
The table should look like as:
Table: EMP
================================================== ==
Empid Empname empaage............
1 sam 23...............
2 rai 22................
.
.
.
n raj 45.................
================================================== ==
I want to do this dynamically.....
Some how I need to extract those field from table[dummy]; the first row acts as a column header for the table[Emp] and the subsequent row acts as a record for the table[Emp]
A small rough snippet of the code will be appreciated....
Waiting for replies........

All- Supposing I have table_a and table_b. Table_a has fields FIRST_A and LAST_A for people's first and last names. Similarly, table_b has FIRST_B and LAST_B for people's first and last names.
How would I create a record in table_b for each record in table_a, such that for each added record, the values of FIRST_A is copied to FIRST_B and LAST_A is copied to LAST_B. (Table_b will have other fields that are left unfilled.)
Thanks!

I've a table with an ID column, it is an auto increment id column that increases by 1.
ID
--
9724
9725
When my webhost restarts SQL, or some other random act of God, this ID jumps by 1000. Today it leapt from 9725 to 10725, which just doesn't work for me. It results in my having to upload the last known good copy of the database.
My host says they can't change the 1000 row buffer, MS apparently doesn't deem this an issue, and I'm quite frustrated. I used to be able to modify certain settings in SQL since I was using an SQL 2008 database under SQL Management Console but since my host upgraded to 2012, and I'm running XP, there is no forward compatibility and many options are no longer possible (eg. modifying a column, now it has to be done via clicking query and entering a SQL command rather than just right clicking on the column)
So long story made short... is there a way to modify my table (named "places") to turn OFF the autoincrement Id and perform a simple means to figure out the next possible value?
example:
id, place, locstion, gps, v2, v3, v4, comment
================================================
9720, Bill's House, Toronto, 43.4453, y, n, c, This was a good place to eat
9721, Dime a Dozen, Cambridge, 42.4453, n, e, d, A good place to take photos
I'd have to pull the highest value of ID (+1 to it) and then do a standard INSERT into places (id, place, location, gps, v2, v3, v4, comment) values (9722, etc...)I guess my concern is if the autoidentity is turned off, will SQL allow a new value to be entered via INSERT? I'm also using the @@identity to find the last known ID when I want to direct the user to the entry that they've just created and I don't know what that # is just yet. Would the @@identity still work?
Hi all I was wondering how to do an ALTER command on a Table but without specifying Column Names but rather attempting to overwrite the Table itself with the new fields specified? For instance if I have Table_1 consisting of the following fields:
IDFirstNameSurname
Then use the following ALTER command:
Code Snippet
ALTER Table Table_1
(
ID Int,
FirstName VarChar(50)
)
This would then drop Surname from the Table and leave only ID and FirstName inside it. Is this possible? I have been searching google but can't seem to find what I am looking for.
Thank for comments + suggestions. Regards, Onam.
Dear all
I have a problem about replication, so I want to modify some columns in a table, but my database using replicate. How to do it?
Please solution.
Thank.

Our ERP vendor is helping us migrate from one version of their product to another. In the new version, they have added some columns and changed a few data types in several existing tables.
They sent us a list of the modifications that were necessary, which we did (painstakingly) by hand. But, for other reasons the update failed and we have to start anew.
This got me thinking: is there any way to do this kind of update via a script/stored procedure? I don't have their exact changes handy, but it was stuff like the table "inmast" needs a column of varchar(50) called "lotc" added to it, and the "intime" table needs the datatype of columns "Mon" "Tue" "Wed" changed from text to varchar(50), stuff like that.
Is it possible to do stuff like that in a SP?
I am quite new to MS SQL, and I want to read rows from a todo table, andwhen a row has been processed, I want to delete that row.Ages ago in MySQL I would probably have locked the table, select, processa row, delete a row, unlock the table.I have been reading through the documentation from MS SQL, but it's notclear what exactly I should do.Since I want to lock only one table in the select (the others just providedata, and are not modified), what's a good solution?--John MexIT: http://johnbokma.com/mexit/personal page: http://johnbokma.com/Experienced programmer available: http://castleamber.com/Happy Customers: http://castleamber.com/testimonials.html
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn Enterprise Manager, I would right click on the table, choose Open Table and Query where I could select specific records and (most importantly) could alter data in a record by deleting the text, adding or over-typing.
In 2005 Server Management Studio I just cannot figure how to do this. I'm guessing that I need the 'Script Table as' option but then what?
I have managed to open selected data using the New Query and then Design Query in Editor, but the results only appear in a kind of view form and I cannot seem to alter any of the data entries, I get dotted lines around the selected field.
Please help, it seemed so much easier in 2000!
What's the answer for this and how ? If it is yes then How ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi All,
Is there a way by which we can modify the width of a column of a table which is being replicated without touching the ongoing transactional replication? This is for MSSQL2000 Transactional Replication.
I know (and successfully tried) that we can add a column to a table and that gets propaged to the replicate database and indeed the added column gets reflected there. How to add a column? sp_repaddcolumn or Right Click on the Publication-Properties and it shows a button to Add a Column.
This is what I have tried for modifying the width of a column of a table participating in Transactional Replication from varchar(10) to varchar(100)
MH (source) -> MH1 (Replicate)
The column €œcol1€? had width of varchar(10) and this was altered to varchar(100).
insert into MH..test_mh values(4,'abcdeabcdefff')
select * from MH1..test_mh
exec sp_dropsubscription @publication = N'MH', @article = N'test_mh', @subscriber = N'UKPBDRMTST2', @destination_db = N'MH1'
go
exec sp_droparticle @publication = N'MH', @article = N'test_mh'
go
alter table test_mh alter column col2 varchar(100) null OR
MH1..sp_help test_mh
exec sp_addarticle @publication = N'MH', @article = N'test_mh', @source_table = N'test_mh'
go
exec sp_addsubscription @publication = N'MH', @article = N'test_mh', @subscriber = N'UKPBDRMTST2' , @destination_db = N'MH1'
go
Needless to say, help would be apreciated -

This program gets the values of A and B passed in. They are for table columns DXID and CODE. The textbox GET1 is initialized to B when the page is loaded. When I type another value in GET1 and try to save it, the original initialized value gets saved and not the new value I just typed in. A literal value, like "222" saves but the new GET1.TEXT doesn't.
View 1 Replies View Related I have a list of items in one table and a field (pageName) in another table that may contain one of the aforementioned items somewhere within that field.

Logically, it's like I need to combine IN and LIKE: select pageName where pageName LIKE IN %select itemNo from tblitemNo%..LIKE can only handle one comparison string.
I am working with the following two tables:
Category(NewID,OldID)

Select all the NewID and OldID from the Category Table
(SELECT NewID,OldID FROM Category)
Then for each rows fetched from last query, execute a update query in the Link table.
For Example,
Let @NID be the NewID for each rows and @OID be the OldID for each rows.
Then the query for each row should be..
UPDATE Link SET CategoryID=@CID WHERE CategoryID=@OID
