Inporting Attached Excel File Into Existing Table Adding Info
Jul 25, 2005
Hi all,I have a problem and need some ideas.What I have done: I created a page to upload an excel file into a SQL Server table along with some customer info (from the login, day, etc.). This excel file contains several rows (some of them may be blank) and columns (also some may be blank). The file is stored in an image object.The file will be checked (they want to do it manually, because contents is a problem). If they say it is OK, I want to run a program to add a record into an existing table with the request no. (from the first table, where the object is stored) and all the information available from the filled rows (first row is header). I have a column, which can be checked, if the row contains data or not.Any ideas?I know how to read from and write the contents of the object to a field in the SQL table. Can I use this?Thanks for any idea / code / link.

We have a process here that produces several dozen Excel Spreadsheets every day from SQL Server using the bcp utility. the problem is that we cannot include the column headers when producing the Output. We are therefore trying to find a method where we can append the column Headers to the Spreadsheets; is there a way of doing this?

I want to add a computed field to an existing SQL table:
where Field1 is >0 and field2 is not null
set newfield = 'Y'
else set newfield = 'N'
I want to keep this existing table because I'm using it as the basis for an Access Report that is nearly complete.
BTW this table is the result of a DTS package that is comprised of several SQL executables so I need to be able to repeat this as part of a larger process.
Thanks!

Dear Friends,
what is best and quicker way to add 500 columns to existing table having 145 columns already.
Is there any way to avoid manual work of adding columns one by one in design mode or using script.
I have a TXT file (comma delimited) that contains all those columns names as a first row,but I am not sure if i can use DTS package to create table design having such sourcre TXT file.
Any advice?
Thanks,

Sorry I'm pretty new to SQL so I don't know if this is a simple question. I have a table, and I am trying to add a column to the table and populate this column using what would be called an 'IF' function in Excel.
Basically 'column A' has numbers in it. I want SQL to look at 'column A' and if the first 5 digits of the number in 'column A' are 00001, then put 'description A' into new column 'column B'. If the first 5 digits of the number in 'column A' are 00002, then put 'description B' into 'column A' etc.
Any ideas?

I want to add new primary key into existing table which already has a primary key. But,I do not want to remove the old primary key, since there are many records and the old primary key also have relationship with other table
When I am using this query:
alter table hem154
add indexNO uniqueidentifier default newid()
alter table hem154
add CONSTRAINT pk_hem154_indexNo PRIMARY KEY (PK_indexNO)
go
Note:
Hem154 ~ Table name
indexNo ~ Column Name
I get this runtime error:
Msg 1779, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Table 'hem154' already has a primary key defined on it.
Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.

I removed all constraints in order to load a bunch of data into a table, now I'm wondering if I can add an identity column to this table which does contain data or if I have to create a new table with the identity column and insert the data into that.
thx

I have a scenario where I need to add a blank column to a table that is a publisher. This table contains over 100 million records. What is the best way to add the column? In the past where I had to make an update, it breaks replication because the update would take forever as jobs are continuously updating the table so replication can't catch up.
If I alter a table and add a column, would this column automatically get picked up in replication?

Hello all,I'm using SS2K on W2k.I'v got a table say, humm, "Orders" with two fields in the PK:OrderDate and CustomerID. I would like to add an "ID" column whichwould be auto-increment (and would be the new PK). But, I would reallylike to have orders with the oldest OrderDate having the smallest IDnumber and, for a same OrderDate, I'd to have the smallest CustomerIDfirst. So my question is:How could I add an auto-increment column to a table and make it createits values in a particular order (sort by OrderDate then CustomerIDhere)?In the real situation, the table I want to modify has around 500krecords and the PK has 5 fields and I want to sort on three of them.Thanks for you helpYannick

MSSQL noob here. Sorry guys, but I really need some help.
I have a MSSQL (2000) database and a Products Table. Now, there was three columns used for pricing that I was not able to populate on the initial usage. So I exported the table as an Excel document, and got rid of everything except the UID (unique identifier column) the Name, and the Three columns, so that the customer could take their time in filling out the information.
Ok, so These are what are common to both the MSSQL database and the Excel sheet
column uid = unique id integer
column Name = text
column eBay = number
column PriceGrabber = number
column Amazon = number
So, any idea how I can update my Products Table with this?
Please HELP!

I am getting inconsistent results when BULK INSERTING data from a tab-delimited text file. As part of my testing, I run the same code on the same file again and again, and I get different results every time! I get this on SQL 2005 and SQL 2012 R2.
We have an application that imports data from a spreadsheet. The sheet contains section headers with account numbers and detail rows with transactions by date:
AAAA.1234 /* (account number)*/
1/1/2015 $150 First Transaction
1/3/2015 $24.233 Second Transaction
BBBB.5678
1/1/2015 $350 Third Transaction
1/3/2015 $24.233 Fourth Transaction
My Import program saves this spreadsheet at tab-delimited text, then I use BULK INSERT to bring the data into a generic table full of varchar(255) fields. There are about 90,000 rows in each day's data; after the BULK INSERT about half of them are removed for various reasons.
Next I add a RowID column to the table with the IDENTITY (1,1) property. This gives my raw data unique row numbers.
I then run a routine that converts and copies those records into another holding table that's a copy of the final destination table. That routine parses though the data, assigning the account number in the section header to each detail row. It ends up looking like this:
AAAA.1234 1/1/2015 $150 First Purchase
AAAA.1234 1/3/2015 $24.233 Second Purchase
BBBB.5678 1/1/2015 $350 Third Purchase
BBBB.5678 1/3/2015 $24.233 Fourth Purchase
My technique: I use a cursor to get the starting RowID for each Account Number: I then use the upper and lower RowIDs to do an INSERT into the final table. The query looks like this:
SELECT RowID, SUBSTRING(RowHeader, 6,4) + '.UBC1' AS AccountNumber
FROM GenericTable
WHERE RowHeader LIKE '____.____%'
Results look like this:
But every time I run the routine, I get different numbers!
Needless to say, my results are not accurate. I get inconsistent results EVERY TIME. Here is my code, with table, field and account names changed for business confidentiality.
TRUNCATE TABLE GenericImportTable;
ALTER TABLE GenericImportTable DROP COLUMN RowID;
BULK INSERT GenericImportTable FROM 'SERVERGeneralAppnameDataFile.2015.05.04.tab.txt'
WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = ' ', ROWTERMINATOR = '', FIRSTROW = 6)
ALTER TABLE GenericImportTable ADD RowID int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL
SELECT RowID, SUBSTRING(RowHeader, 6,4) + '.UBC1' AS AccountNumber
FROM GenericImportTable
WHERE RowHeader LIKE '____.____%'

I am using the DTS wizard and having problems importing excel into an existing table.
Problem is that various column in excel are defined as double in the wizard but in my db table it is defined as an integer.
How do I get around this issue so the data types in excel can match up accordingly to my defined data type in my db table?
The wizard does a bad job of guessing the correct data type.
I have heard of using a staging table to import from excel and using that as my source to import into my existing table.

i'm building a web page to help our support staff run and export their sql queries faster and more easily than going through the sql server manager. i found an article at codeproject [1] that i was able to customize to be more flexible, but i'm not sure how to get it to export the results of a query along with the comments that preceed the query.
for example, i have the following sql file: -- this query does a certain thing, and the comment can be pretty long at times, depending on how complicated the query is
select * from table where columnid > 100would anyone be able to tell me how to edit Kolluri's export function to allow for a comment section? alternatively if his way of doing an export is out of date, i'd be interested in a newer way. most importantly, though, i need to be able to export the comments along with query results.my ultimate goal is to have a drop down list of databases on the server, a list of query files (from a certain consolodated folder) for them to run on the chosen database, a "test query" function, and an export function that exports the comments and results.[1] http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/ExportClassLibrary.asp

I simply need the ability using SQL to add columns in an existing table before (or after) columns that already exist.
The MS SQL implementation of ALTER TABLE doesn't seem to provide the before or after placement criteria I require. How is this done in MS SQL using SQL or is there a stored procedure I can use?
Thanks.

I want to be able to see when records have been added to a table. The issue is we have a DTS job scheduled to run every night. The developer who wrote it password protected it and doesn't work here anymore. I want to add a step to this series of DTS jobs and want to run it just prior to his job. Is there a way to see when the records are being added or when this job is being run? Thanks again, you guys are the best.

Hi i am getting a weekly transaction file which has two columns trans code and trans date to indicate whether the record is changed, added or modified . and the monthly master file contains blank in these two fields.
How do i update the row coming from the transaction file in the tables which contain the rows from the master file .
to better explain the example is
Master File
ID Name AGE Salary Transcode TransDate
2 dev 27 2777
Transaction File indicating change
ID Name AGE Salary Transcode TransDate
2 dev 27 24444 C 08072007
the ouput should be
2 dev 27 24444 C 08072007
replacing the existing row in the table(updating the whole row)
i have 50 columns in my table and based on the two fields i should replace the rows exisiting in table and if ID doesnot match exist just add them as a new row.
what transformation should i use .... to replace all the columns which have matching ID in table to the current record from trans file and if there doesnt exist matching id just add them as new row.
Thanks...

I am very new to the SQL report server, but have used other reporting tools before where I could add (or import) a new table of information directly into a report itself. I would do this when I required information in the report that is not part of the datasources tables.
For example, I use it for tying into the report complex sales budget numbers that are not included anywhere in the main datasource. I would simply add the table to my query I created, create my links, and I have a sales vs budget report.
Do you know if this is possible using the SQL reporting tools, or does the table need to be part of the main datasource ?
Thank you in advance.....
