Is it possible to insert multiple rows in a table using one INSERT statment. If yes, how can I do that ? I tried doing this using the substitution method.
Using Substitution Method - This is how,I proceeded.
Hello all,my first post here...hope it goes well. I'm currently working onstored procedure where I translated some reporting language into T-SQLThe logic:I have a group of tables containing important values for calculation.I run various sum calculations on various fields in order to retrievecost calculations ...etc.1) There is a select statement which gathers all the "records" whichneed calculations.ex: select distinct Office from Offices where OfficeDesignation ='WE' or OfficeDesignation = 'BE...etc.As a result I get a list of lets say 5 offices which need to becalculated!2) A calculation select statement is then run on a loop for each ofthe returned 5 offices (@OfficeName cursor used here!) found above.Anexample can be like this(* note that @WriteOff is a variable storing the result):"select @WriteOff = sum(linecost * (-1))From Invtrans , InventoryWhere ( transtype in ('blah', 'blah' , 'blah' ) )and ( storeloc = @OfficeName )and ( Invtrans.linecost <= 0 )and ( Inventory.location = Invtrans.storeloc )and ( Inventory.itemnum = Invtrans.itemnum )"...etcThis sample statement returns a value and is passed to the variable@WriteOff (for each of the 5 offices mentioned in step 1). This is donearound 9 times for each loop! (9 calculations)3) At the end of each loop (or each office), we do an insert statementto a table in the database.
To anyone that is able to help....What I am trying to do is this. I have two tables (Orders, andOrderDetails), and my question is on the order details. I would liketo set up a stored procedure that essentially inserts in the orderstable the mail order, and then insert multiple orderdetails within thesame transaction. I also need to do this via SQL 2000. Right now ihave "x" amount of variables for all columns in my orders tables, andall Columns in my Order Details table. I.e. @OColumn1, @OColumn2,@OColumn3, @ODColumn1, @ODColumn2, etc... I would like to create astored procedure to insert into Orders, and have that call anotherstored procedure to insert all the Order details associated with thatorder. The only way I can think of doing it is for the program to passme a string of data per column for order details, and parse the stringvia T-SQL. I would like to get away from the String format, and gowith something else. If possible I would like the application tosubmit a single value per variable multiple times. If I do it this waythough it will be running the entire SP again, and again. Anysuggestions on the best way to solve this would be greatlyappreciated. If anyone can come up with a better way feel free. Myonly requirement is that it be done in SQL.Thank you
Hi, would like to know if there are any links or sample code to learn how to Insert multiple rows with 1 sql statement.Also, can the inserted values' source be from a table in another database table or from a dataset?I am actually trying to insert about 117 rows of data.Table 1======UID Primary Key TeamCode a code value representing different teams Week will equal to 2Points nullable valuee.g.Table 1======UID TeamCode Week Points1 A1 1 1002 A2 1 99trying to insert into table 1Table 1========UID TeamCode Week Points1 A1 1 1002 A2 1 993 A1 2 null4 A2 2 nulletc...As you can see, UID is primary key, TeamCode may repeat according to week value Week is a constant Points will be nullHow can I do that with a single Insert Command? Thank you for your help. :)
I am trying to insert 9 rows into an table at the same time. My situation is this...
I have a survey page. There are 9 parts with each part ment for an individual person. Each part has 8 questions, and each part has the same 8 questions
The questions are answered using one of the answers in a drop down box.
So when the surveyer clicks submit, all the 9 parts should be entered into the table.
If this is confusing, I have the form up on the Internet at...
http://www.lavenderlane.ie/wage_survey_test.asp
I can insert one part no problem, (when I reduce the form to only 1 part) but i need to insert all of the 9 parts simultaneously. I reckon its some sort of for loop but if u could help me out i would appreciate it!
I have a SQL script to insert data into a table as below:
INSERT into [SRV1INS2].BB.dbo.Agents2 select * from [SRV2INS14].DD.dbo.Agents
I just want to set a Trigger on Agents2 Table, which could delete all rows in the table , before carry out any Insert operation using above statement.I had below Table Trigger on [SRV1INS2].BB.dbo.Agents2 Table as below: But it did not perform what I intend to do.
USE [BB] GO /****** Object: Trigger Script Date: 24/07/2015 3:41:38 PM ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
I apologize since this seems to be a fundamental question, but I did try to search and there seems to be something wrong - after clicking on the "search" button, the page just will not update... I even tried "advanced search" but no luck there, either.
Anyway, my question is about writing multiple data rows to tables in a SQL Server database. Currently I'm using embedded SQL from a VC++ 2005 .Net program to write data to a SQL 2005 Express server (either on the same PC or on another, via TCP). As data becomes available, I issue INSERT statements, one by one. One row is about a dozen columns, typically 8 bytes each, for each of the few tables in the database. In most cases, I have several rows of data available at the same time. Those rows come at the rate of around 200-1000 per second for the different tables. With that setup, my SQL server is not able to keep up - the data ends up getting buffered in the program, waiting for the server, the server process uses just about all the CPU cycles it can get, etc.
I'm reading the "SQL in a nutshell" book from O'Reilly but it's mostly language oriented, it doesn't say much about performance improvements. It would seem natural that one could improve the performance. For example, when I do a SELECT query, the data comes very quickly, which makes me think that it is the overhead of making those individual calls with small amount of data. I would think that I should be able to request that multiple rows are written at the same time with a single SQL statement, and that this would improve the performance. However, I have no idea how to do that.
I did try one thing - enlisting the sequence of INSERTs into a single transaction, thinking it will all get buffered and only get written to the server after the Commit command is issued. I did that but it doesn't seem to help. What should I try to alleviate this problem? One thing to consider: although I use SQL Server for testing, I am trying to keep compatibility with other databases, e.g., ODBC to any available data source, including MS Access over Jet. I would love it if the solution to this were compatible (i.e., not involve any Transact SQL or other vendor-specific tricks). I thank you in advance for your assistance!
Hi,I have an application running on a wireless device and being wireless Iwant it to use bandwidth as efficiently as possible. Therefore, I wantthe SQL statement that it uploads to the SQL Server to be as efficientas possible. In one instance, I give it four records to upload, whichcurrently I have as four seperate SQL statements seperated by a ";".However, all the INSERT INTO... information is the same each time, theonly that changes is the VALUES portion of each command. Also, I haveto have the name of each column to receive the data (believe it or not,these columns are only a small subset of the columns in the table).Here is my current SQL statement:INSERT INTO tblInvTransLog ( intType, strScreen, strMachine, strUser,dteDate, intSteelRecID, intReleaseReceiptID, strReleaseNo, intQty,dblDiameter, strGrade, HeatID, strHeatNum, strHeatCode, lngfkCompanyID)VALUES (1, 'Raw Material Receiving', '[MachineNo]', '[CurrentUser]','3/21/2005', 888, 779, '2', 5, 0.016, '1018', 18, '610T142', 'K8',520);INSERT INTO tblInvTransLog ( intType, strScreen, strMachine, strUser,dteDate, intSteelRecID, intReleaseReceiptID, strReleaseNo, intQty,dblDiameter, strGrade, HeatID, strHeatNum, strHeatCode, lngfkCompanyID)VALUES (1, 'Raw Material Receiving', '[MachineNo]', '[CurrentUser]','3/21/2005', 888, 779, '2', 9, 0.016, '1018', 30, '14841', 'B9', 344);Since the SQL statement INSERT INTO portion remains the same everytime, it would be good if I could have the INSERT INTO portion onlyonce and then any number of VALUES sections, something like this:INSERT INTO tblInvTransLog (intType, strScreen, strMachine, strUser,dteDate, intSteelRecID, intReleaseReceiptID, strReleaseNo, intQty,dblDiameter, strGrade, HeatID, strHeatNum, strHeatCode, lngfkCompanyID)VALUES (1, 'Raw Material Receiving', '[MachineNo]','[CurrentUser]', '3/21/2005', 888, 779, '2', 5, 0.016, '1018', 18,'610T142', 'K8', 520)VALUES (1, 'Raw Material Receiving', '[MachineNo]','[CurrentUser]', '3/21/2005', 888, 779, '2', 9, 0.016, '1018', 30,'14841', 'B9', 344);But this is not a valid SQL statement. But perhaps someone with a morecomprehensive knowledge of SQL knows of way. Maybe there is a way tostore a string at the header of the command then use the string name ineach seperate command(??)
I am trying to insert each record coming from my DataTable object to sql server database. The problem that I have is that I have my stored procedures within the loop and it work only for one record, because it complaing that there are too many parameters. Is there a way i can add up my parameters before the loop and avoid this issue?

I have created a table Table with name as Varchar and id as int. Now i have started inserting the rows like, insert into Table values ('arun',20).Yes i have inserted a row in the table. Now i have got the values " arun's ", 50. insert into Table values('arun's',20) My sqlserver is giving me an error instead of inserting the row. How will you solve this problem?
I write a insert trigger on my table LeaveRegister(1000 rows) and inserting rows in audit table, but when i inserting a row in LeaveRegister table. In audit table 1000 + 1 rows are inserting every time.
I'm working on a database for a financial client and part of what i need to do is calculate a value from two separate rows in the same table and insert the result in the same table as a new row. I have a way of doing so but i consider it to be extremely inelegant and i'm hoping there's a better way of doing it. A description of the existing database schema (which i have control over) will help in explaining the problem:
id metric_id metric_type_id metric_name 1 80 2 Fiscal Enterprise Value Historic Year 1 2 81 2 Fiscal Enterprise Value Current Fiscal Year 3 82 2 Fiscal Enterprise value Forward Fiscal year 1 4 83 2 Fiscal Enterprise Value Forward Fiscal Year 2 5 101 3 Calendar Enterprise value Historic Year 1 6 102 3 Calendar Enterprise Value Current Fiscal Year 5 103 3 Calendar Enterprise value Forward Year 1 6 104 3 Calendar Enterprise Value Forward Year 2
Table Name: metric_type_details
id metric_type_id metric_type_name 1 1 Raw 2 2 Fiscal 3 3 Calendar 4 4 Calculated
The problem scenario is the following: Because a certain number of the securities have a fiscal year end that is different to the calendar end in addition to having fiscal data (such as fiscal enterprise value and fiscal earnings etc...) for each security i also need to store calendarised data. What this means is that if security with security_id = 3 has a fiscal year end of October then using rows with ids = 1, 2, 3 and 4 from the metrics_ladder table i need to calculate metrics with metric_id = 83, 84, 85 and 86 (as described in the metric_details table) and insert the following 4 new records into metrics_ladder:
Metric with metric_id = 101 (Calendar Enterprise value Historic Year 1) will be calculated by taking 10/12 of the value for metric_id 80 plus 2/12 of the value for metric_id 81.
Similarly, metric_id 102 will be equal to 10/12 of the value for metric_id 81 plus 2/12 of the value for metric_id 82,
metric_id 103 will be equal to 10/12 of the value for metric_id 82 plus 2/12 of the value for metric_id 83 and finally
metric_id 104 will be NULL (determined by business requirements as there is no data for forward year 3 to use).
As i could think of no better way of doing this (and hence the reason for this thread) I am currently achieving this by pivoting the relevant data from the metrics_ladder so that the required data for each security is in one row, storing the result in a new column then unpivoting again to store the result in the metrics_ladder table. So the above data in nmetrics_ladder becomes:
-- Dummy year variable to make it easier to use MONTH() function -- to convert 3 letter month to number. i.e. JAN -> 1, DEC -> 12 etc... DECLARE @DUMMY_YEAR VARCHAR(4) SET @DUMMY_YEAR = 1900;
with temp(security_id, metric_id, value) as ( select ml.security_id, ml.metric_id, ml.value from metrics_ladder ml where ml.metric_id in (80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,etc...) -- only consider securities with fiscal year end not equal to december and ml.security_id in (select security_id from company_details where fiscal_year_end <> 'dec') ) insert into @calendar_averages select temppivot.security_id -- Net Income ,(CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR))/12*[80]) +((12 - CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR)))/12*[81]) as [101] ,(CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR))/12*[81]) +((12 - CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR)))/12*[82]) as [102] ,(CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR))/12*[82]) +((12 - CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR)))/12*[83]) as [103] ,NULL as [104] -- Share Holders Equity ,(CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR))/12*[84]) +((12 - CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR)))/12*[85]) as [105] ,(CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR))/12*[85]) +((12 - CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR)))/12*[86]) as [106] ,(CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR))/12*[86]) +((12 - CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR)))/12*[87]) as [107] ,NULL as [108] -- Capex -- Sales -- Accounts payable etc... .. .. from temp pivot ( sum(value) for metric_id in ([80],[81],[82],[83],[84],[85],[86],[87],[88],etc...) ) as temppivot inner join company_details cd on temppivot.security_id = cd.security_id
********* END SQL *********
The result then needs to be unpivoted and stored in metrics_ladder.
And FINALLY, the question! Is there a more elegant way of achieving this??? I have complete control over the database schema so if creating mapping tables or anything along those lines would help it is possible. Also, is SQL not really suited for such operations and would it therefore be better done in C#/VB.NET.
I am trying to insert some new rows into an existing SQL table. The table name is Agt_table, and I want to add some data for some new agents into existing columns: Agent name, agent code, phone number, fax number
Example - I want to add the following record to my existing table Agt_table Agent name: ABC Company Agent code: 012345 Phone #: 555-555-5555 Fax#: 555-555-5555
I have a DataTable in memory and I want to write a C# code to dump the data into a SQL database. Is there a faster way of dumping millions of rows into a SQL table besides running INSERT INTO row by row?
I am using the below SQL to insert a table. The problem is after I run this, I run another script to populate the table (see below). The population script will work if I run it as INSERT INTO ... SELECT TOP 99.9999999 PERCENT ..., but if I put 100 PERCENT, or just use no percent limiter I get the following error: Msg 8624, Internal SQL Server error.
It is weird b/c once something is inserted in the table, i can run the populate script without any problems. Any idea as to why this is happening?
Thanks,
Dave

Hi, I am trying to insert multiple values from another table as well as an addition value defined by me. Here's my code which is obviously incorrect at the AND statement: Insert Into table_1 (ID, Col_1, Col_2)Select ID, Col_A, Col_B From table_A AND table1.Col_3 = 'XYZ' Where table_A.Col_A IS NOT NULL
Pls advise on the correct way of constructing this statement. Many Thanks
Hi.. I really need a help. Is there any way to insert multiple records into a table in one go?
I have a table named Fruit. It contains FruitId,OwnerId,Colour
The list of colour is got from another table name FruitColour. FruitColour Consists of 2 column, FruitName and Colour.
Is it possible to insert multiple records into Fruit table with one query if only the colour is changed.
Sample case I have an Apple. Fruit id=2 OwnerId=2 Colour -- > Select Colour From FruitColour where FruitName='Apple' (Will return multiple records)
I tried to insert using this query: Insert into Fruit(FruitId,OwnerId,Colour) Values (2,2,Select Colour from FruitColour where FruitName='Apple').
Gives me this error Subqueries are not allowed in this context. Only scalar expressions are allowed.
I need to do this because actually I am inserting multiple fruit at one time, and each have multiple colour. If I need to insert the colour one by one for each fruit it will takes a very long time.
Any suggestion are welcomed. Thank you in advanced.
I have an Parent table (Parentid, LastName, FirstName) and Kids table (Parentid, KidName, Age, Grade, Gender, KidTypeID) , each parent will have multiple kids, I need the result as below:
Below is a simplified table & dataset to illustrate a problem I'm experiencing with a more complex one.
Code Block
create table #test( recno smallint PRIMARY KEY, value decimal (18,2))
insert into #test values (1, 3.57) insert into #test values (2, 5.32) insert into #test values (3,6.29) insert into #test values (4, 9.25) insert into #test values (5, 0.84)
Method 1: I tried inserting rows from #test into a temp table (#table) as follows
Code Block
declare @n as nvarchar(3) set @n = 1 while @n <= (select count(recno) from #test) begin exec (' insert into ##table select *, originalrecno = (select recno from #test where recno = '+@n+') from #test' ) set @n = @n + 1 end However, this yields an error message:
Code Block
Server: Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 Invalid object name '##table'. Note - you can comment out the insert into ##table line above to view the results that I'm trying to put into ##table.
Method 2: next I tried explicitly creating ##table & rerunning the loop containing the insert
declare @n as nvarchar(3) set @n = 1 while @n <= (select count(recno) from #test) begin exec (' insert into ##table select *, originalrecno = (select recno from #test where recno = '+@n+') from #test' ) set @n = @n + 1 end This worked - it inserted the data from the select statements in the loop into ##table.
Hi guys,I have a problem with my query. What i want to happen is to populate my table EV_NOTIFICATIONDETAILS (Docownerid, CurrentSentDate, LastSentDate, detailsID, GeneralRemarks) using the datas from the two different tables EV_NOTIFICATIONHEADER and EV_DOCDETAILS.I tried to create some a query but im having a error. The problem is once i insert the data from datas to the columns Docownerid, CurrentSentDate, LastSentDate the datas are stored in the database and when i tried to insert the remaining columns TO EV_NOTIFICATIONDETAILS detailsID, GeneralRemarks getting the datas from EV_DOCDETAIL it creates a new set of records in the database. Meaning it doesn't update the records in the table EV_NOTIFICATIONDETAILS but it creates a new set of records.here's my code:INSERT INTO EV_NOTIFICATIONDETAILS (Docownerid, CurrentNoticeSentDate, LastNoticeSentDate) SELECTDocownerid, CurrentSentDate, LastSentDateFROMEV_NOTIFICATIONHEADERINSERT INTO EV_NOTIFICATIONDETAILS (detailsID,GeneralRemarks) SELECTdetailsID,GeneralRemarksFROMEV_DOCDETAIL Any ideas and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Hi guys, I have created 3 tables namely Static, Dynamic and Demo... Static has colums FormID(uniqueidentifier, PrimaryKey) and FormName(Nvarchar(50)). Dynamic has colums formID(uniqueidentifier,PrimaryKey) and FormName(Nvarchar(50)). Demo has 4 colums namely ValueID(uniqueidentifier, Primary Key), formID(uniqueidentifier, foreign key), Name(nvarchar(50)), Value(nvarchar(50).
Now the formID coloum in Demo table i have set as foreign key to both the dynamic table as well as static table on the formID colum in both table.
Now first i insert a row in the dynamic table then take the uniqueidentifier which is generated automatically and try to insert in the Demo table in formID colum as that colum is FK to dynamic and static but when i try to insert a row it show that its violating the FOREIGN KEY CONSTRAINT
the exact error is
Msg 547, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_Demo_Dynamic1". The conflict occurred in database "huzefaJTest", table "dbo.Dynamic", column 'formid'.
Question pls. I have an MS SQL local package where it exports data from SQL table to Excel file. My question is, how can erase all the records in my excel file before i export the new data from SQL table?
What i want is to delete the rows in the destination file before inserting new records.
I want to produce some output for Mainframe application. For that I want to insert values from multiple table as source to a single column (huge in size)of a different table (Destination table). There may be same related records in all of the source tables with the primary key. When I export values from the source tables , each related records should be insterted to the destination table's field (multiple entries for each table). Please advise.
I have a table with a string value, where all values are seperated by a space/blank. I now want to use SQL to split all the values and insert them into a different table, which then later will result in deleting the old table, as soon as I got all values out from it.
Old Table:
Code: ID, StringValue
New Table:
Code: ID, Value1, Value2 Do note: Value1 is INT, Value2 is of nvarchar, hence Value2 can contain spaces... I just need to split on the FIRST space, then convert index[0] to int, and store index[1] as it is.
I can split on all spaces and just Select them all and add them like so: SELECT t.val1 + ' ' + t.val2... If I cant find the first space that is... I mean, first 2-10 characters in the string can be integer, but does not have to be.Shall probably do it in code instead of SQL?Now I want to run a query that selects the StringValue from OldTable, splits the string by ' ' (a blank) and then inserts them into New Table.
Code: SELECT CASE CHARINDEX(' ', OldTable.stringvalue, 1) WHEN 0 THEN OldTable.stringvalue ELSE SUBSTRING(OldTable.stringvalue, 1, CHARINDEX(' ', OldTable.stringvalue, 1) - 1) END AS FirstWord FROM OldTable
Found an example using strange things like CHARINDEX..But issue still remains, because the first word is of integer, or it does not have to be...If it isn't, there is not "first value", and the whole string shall be passed into "value2".How to detect if the very first character is of integer type?
Code: @declare firstDigit int IF ISNUMERIC(SUBSTRING(@postal,2,1) AS int) = 1 set @firstDigit = CAST(SUBSTRING(@postal,2,1) AS int) ELSE set @firstDigit = -1
In the ECASE table there is trigger to get the max value of case_id column in ecase based on project and increment one to that case_id value and insert into ecase table .
When we insert a new record to the ECASE table this trigger calls and insert the case_id column value.
When i run with multiple threads , the transaction is rolled back because of trigger . The reason is , on the project table the lock is happening while getting the max value of case_id column based on project.
ID Flag TestDate Value Comment 111 2 12/15/2014 7.5 null 222 2 Null 10 received
Matrix_Current table could have 1 or multiple rows as below.
ID Flag TestDate Value Comment 111 2 01/26/2015 7.9 111 2 02/23/2015 7.9 111 2 04/07/2015 6.8 222 1 null 8 test comment 1 222 3 null 9 test comment 2
When I run below update
UPDATE AM SET M.Flag = MC.Flag, M.TestDate = MC.TestDate, M.Value = MC.Value, M.comment = MC.Comment FROM dbo.Matrix M inner join dbo.Matrix_Current MC on M.ID = MC.ID
Matrix table has value below:
ID Flag TestDate Value Comment 111 2 01/26/2015 7.9 222 1 Null 8 test comment 1
I want to update Matrix table from all row from Matrix_Current, final table would like below:
ID Flag TestDate Value Comment 111 2 04/07/2015 6.8 222 3 Null 9 test comment 2

I am trying to insert multiple rows into a table getting data from a web form.
I have 2 fields being passed from a web form to the below stored procedure @FormBidlistID Sample Data --> 500 @CheckBoxListContractors Sample Data --> 124,125,145,154,156,
The below DELETE function is working great. However for some reason or another the INSERT INTO sql command is not putting seperating the string and adding rows to the database? I am not sure where the error is occuring.
In the end I need the data to go into the database columns like so
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.UpdateBidlistContractors @FormBidlistID int, @CheckBoxListContractors varchar(3999) AS DELETE FROM BidlistContractors WHERE BidlistID = @FormBidlistID DECLARE @ContractorID nvarchar(10) DECLARE @BidlistID nvarchar(10) DECLARE @startPosition int DECLARE @commaPosition int SET @startPosition =1 SET @commaPosition = 0 WHILE (@startPosition < LEN(@ContractorID)) BEGIN SET @commaPosition = CHARINDEX(' , ' , @ContractorID, @startPosition) SET @ContractorID= SUBSTRING(@ContractorID, @startPosition, @commaPosition - @startPosition) INSERT INTO BidlistContractors (BidlistID, ContractorID) VALUES (@BidlistID, @ContractorID) SET @startPosition = @startPosition + LEN(@ContractorID) + 1 END GO
Where am I going wrong? Thank you in advance for any help. :-)
