Inserting And Updating And Array Into An SQL Table
Dec 23, 2003
I have an asp.net project that displays a timesheet based on a fortnightly system.
It has a Y and X axis, i.e. Sun-Mon, Sun-Mon across the top and Categories of hour types accross the Y axis, i.e. Holidays, Overtime, Maintenance.
I was using a datagrid to gather the rows, but I need to have the whole grid in edit mode which is something that requires more coding. So I have swapped to a datalist.
It will take me 240 fields to store all the data in their corresponding fields. So I basically need to know if there is an easier way to store two dimensional array type data into an SQL table using a minimum of fields.
I am very new to SQL Server 2005. I have created a package to load data from a flat delimited file to a database table. The initial load has worked. However, in the future, I will have flat files used to update the table. Some of the records will need to be inserted and some will need to update existing rows. I am trying to do this from SSIS. However, I am very lost as to how to do this.
SQLNewbie writes "I have a table 'ImportedListings' that is populated with data external to the database. This table is only used to hold the data until I can move it to the permanent table 'Listings' at which point 'ImportedListings' gets truncated to nothing. Both tables contain almost identical data and structure. There is a listing ID column available for joins.
Basically I need to compare each row in ImportedListing and if it already exists in Listing, UPDATE Listing with the new info. If the row in ImportedListing doesn't exist in Listing, I need to INSERT it.
Physically deleting rows from the listings table is not an option. Do you have any ideas on how I can do this? I initially tried using a temp table to hold the matching listing id's but I could not get figure out the update statement with this scenario.
Thanks for any help! I have been trying to hammer this out all night(I just started programming tsql)"
i wanted to ask how to insert values from a single web form into two sql tables, i have been looking and the visual web developer i use doesnt seam to allow me to even atempt it i've tried selecting all the values from two different tables and then adding those two tables to an insert function but it doesnt work likewise the update functioni have values in a table currently a reference number and i want to use this reference number to update the address values in this table so update this field.table1 and thisfield.table2 when ref number = @ refnumber the reference number is present in both tables and is linked PK to FK <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:Back End DataConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="SELECT StartDetails.StartDetailsID, StartDetails.ContractIDNo, StartDetails.ContractName, StartDetails.NINO, StartDetails.AnticipatedStartDate, StartDetails.StartDateTime, StartDetails.StartDateLetterSent, StartDetails.StartDate, StartDetails.AnticipatedEndDate, StartDetails.ActualEndDate, StartDetails.ReasonForLeaving, StartDetails.Provider, StartDetails.AdviserReferrer, StartDetails.ProvisionCat, StartDetails.Provision, ClientDetails.NINO AS Expr1, ClientDetails.CentreNo, ClientDetails.FirstName, ClientDetails.SecondName, ClientDetails.AddressLine1, ClientDetails.AddressLine2, ClientDetails.PostCode, ClientDetails.ContactTelephoneNumber, ClientDetails.MobileNo, ClientDetails.Email, ClientDetails.DateOfBirth, ClientDetails.Gender, ClientDetails.PWD, ClientDetails.Ethnicity, ClientDetails.ClientGroup, ClientDetails.RepeatStartDate, ClientDetails.CaseworkerName, ClientDetails.ClientStatus, ClientDetails.PlacementDates, ClientDetails.JobsearchDay, ClientDetails.AchievedILP, ClientDetails.JobDate, ClientDetails.JobDate2, ClientDetails.JobDate3, ClientDetails.EligibleForRolledUpWeeks, ClientDetails.NoOfWeeksClaimed, ClientDetails.MarketingWhere, ClientDetails.Notes, ClientDetails.JobCentre, ClientDetails.JobCentreRep FROM StartDetails INNER JOIN ClientDetails ON StartDetails.NINO = ClientDetails.NINO WHERE (StartDetails.StartDetailsID = @StartDetailsID) AND (StartDetails.NINO = @NINO)" InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [StartDetails] ([NINO], [StartDate], [AnticipatedEndDate]) VALUES (@NINO, @StartDate, @AnticipatedEndDate)"
I have created a single Data Flow Task that reads a set of records from a source table and then makes determinations whether to insert, update or delete from a destination table. The data is basically being copied from one database to another with a small amount of data manipulation and lookups. The problem seems to be that when running the task, even a small amount of records read from the source table seem to take a long time for the task to finish. I feed the records into a Script Component (the brains) that sorts the records to three separate outputs. I use OLE DB Commands to perform the DELETE and UPDATE and an OLE DB Destination for INSERT. I thought that by using three separate database connections would help, but it just appears to be locked while trying to perform these commands against the same table.
Is there a way to control or route these three record sets in such a way as to perform them sequentially?
I know it's a bit of a simple question for some of you, but I'm just learning SSIS (but I like it!).
Hi, I was wondering if there is a method (other than BULK INSERT) to insert a (C++) application level array into the database, I have a variant type array populated with values that I want to insert, possibly using ADO Objects, in quick time!
I've been doing this in Access, but cannot find the answer to how to do it with SQL Server. From a web form, a user can select a number of different dates. The selected dates are held as text (not DateTime) in an ArrayList. Clicking the Submit button writes the contents of the form to a database table. This works for Access: insSQL &= "VALUES (@typEvent, @starts, @ends, @starts, @ends, @attend, @title, @room, @department, @contact, @address, @telephone, @email, @telefax, " For i = 0 to datesArray.Count - 1 insSql &= datesArray.Item(i) Next i insSQL &= "VALUES (@typEvent, @starts, @ends, @starts, @ends, @attend, @title, @room, @department, @contact, @address, @telephone, @email, @telefax, " For i = 0 to datesArray.Count - 1 insSql &= "#" & datesArray.Item(i) & "#, " Next i It doesn't work for SQL Server, and when trying to insert the value "01/29/2007" I get the error message: "The name '#1' is not permitted in this context. Only constants, expressions, or variables allowed here. Column names are not permitted." I have also tried the line: For i = 0 to datesArray.Count - 1 insSql &= satesArray.Item(i) Next i and get: "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'VALUES'." I'm not sure where to find the information to correct my error. Any help would be appreciated. Tinker

Does anybody have a sample SQL script that will select table A and compare it to table B. If a row exists in both table A and table B, it will update the columns in table B with the columns in table A. If the row does not exist in table B, it will insert a row in table B using the row in table A. Is this possible?
i am creating a database driven website and i am using a sql database. I have a database called company with fields in it to do with a company, I have created a company.cs file which sets the variables, properties and methods and so on. These work fine. I have also stored procedures and they are right as far as i know. i also have coding behind the buttons of my page when i try and update or insert to the database. I am having the problem of when i enter data into the text boxes and click update, nothing gets inserted or updated and whats worst of all no error message appears. The table is used for storing profile data about a user, when a user logs on they enter their profile data, if i manually enter this data and input the username of a user into the username field within the database then the data appears fine in the textboxes of the update info page but the data will not insert or update. i have checked all the little things and i am stressing out cos i am running out of time and cannot find the problem...........please could someone help me!!!!! thanks
Heres my coding to some of my pages to help you.... the code behind the button using System; using System.Data; using System.Configuration; using System.Web; using System.Web.Security; using System.Web.UI; using System.Web.UI.WebControls; using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts; using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls; using FYPtestsite.Classes; public partial class Employer_employerprofile : System.Web.UI.Page {protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {if (!Roles.IsUserInRole(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["employerrole"])) {Response.Redirect("~/Error1.aspx"); }Company objCompany = Company.GetCompany(Profile.UserName);if (objCompany != null) {
Hi, I'm trying to store large strings to a database, so am using thetext field type (LongText). I have used this before when storing thehtml of a webpage, and was able to store more than 255 characters byusing just a normal update sql statement. Now I'm trying to store thebody of research papers, and must be doing something different, as Ican only store 255 characters.Can someone explain why SQL Server doesn't like what I am doing -should I be using the WriteText / UpdateText function? If so, pleaseexplain by example how I would do that, and why doing that works.Thanks so much,Iain
I am using the following query to calculate date differences:select ..........DATEDIFF(d, recruitment_advertising.advertising_date, career_details.RTS_Email AS Datetime) AS Ad_to_RTS_days FROM .....I have stored all my dates as NVARCHAR because of the issues with localization.If the value is an empty String my output is eg: -38700. which is way off and incorrect. Some of the values in my table are NULL and they produce the correct result.Is there a T-SQL statement to replace empy Strings with the NULL value in my tables.I'd like to use it as a trigger when inserting or updating to convert empty strings to NULLbefore the values are inserted.Thanks guys.
Hello.I've read many topics about this problem but i couldn't figure it out.I use form where user must insert 2 dates using texboxes.-One is required and other is optional.Sql 2000 is inserting either '20061105' or '2006.11.05' on insert update but select query returns 05.11.2006 on my report. Question 1.How do I insert or update dates from my form where date is entered dd.mm.yyyy to sql 2000 table?question 2. What to do if user left optional texbox date empty.I'm using SP and function with arguments (byval texbox1.text as date, byval texbox2.text as date)and parameters @date1, sqldbtype date =texbox1.text
We've installed the Oracle provider for OLE DB on SQL Server 2005, which has the default collation (SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS), and we've created a linked server for the Oracle 9.2.0.5 database, which has AL32UTF8 as the database character set. We can successfully insert strings into VARCHAR2 columns on Oracle from SQL Server via EXEC SP_EXECUTESQL('INSERT OPENQUERY(...) VALUES(...)') -- as long as the strings (whether selected from NVARCHAR columns on SQL Server or specified as literals with the N prefix during testing) only contain Windows-1252 characters.
If the SQL statement contains a character above U+00FF, the string on the Oracle side is incorrectly/doubly encoded; there are nearly (but not exactly) 4 bytes per character instead of the 1 or 2 you'd expect from ASCII/Latin-1 characters encoded as UTF-8.
We've tried reconfiguring the linked server: collation compatible = false, use remote collation = true, and collation name = Latin1_General_BIN2. But that had no effect.
Hi Gnite everyone, i once again need help with a T-SQL syntax for Auto Correction for insert and update when client enters the wrong format, i;e, creating a SSN Data type and a User Defined Procedure that auto corrects input format i;e, user inserts into table authors of the pubs DB 525-477845 column au_id that executes auto correction so user doesn't have to put in dashes for SSN format. Please help me with this syntax .
Inside a single transaction I'm inserting/updating multiple records into multiple tables, in this order: table 1 record 1 table 2 record 1 table 3 record 1 table 1 record 2 table 2 record 1 table 1 record 3 table 2 record 3 table 3 record 3
Now I'm getting an unspecified error on a certain table:
Indicates a data modification, such as an insert, an update, or a deletion. Ensures that multiple updates cannot be made to the same resource at the same time. (I assume that multiple updates within the SAME transaction can be made, only multiple updates from different transaction cannot be made, right?) I cannot find any reference to this error message and don't know what the numbers mean. Maybe it relates to data that can be found in the sys.lock_information table like explained here, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172932.aspx, but I'm not sure.
Furthermore, the sys.lock_information table is empty. I haven't been able to reproduce the problem myself. I only received an error log and the database to investigate it.
So, does anybody have an idea what this error message means and what I can do to troubleshoot this?
I am trying to insert data into two different tables. I will insert into Table 2 based on an id I get from the Select Statement from Table1. Insert Table1(Title,Description,Link,Whatever)Values(@title,@description,@link,@Whatever)Select WhateverID from Table1 Where Description = @DescriptionInsert into Table2(CategoryID,WhateverID)Values(@CategoryID,@WhateverID) This statement is not working. What should I do? Should I use a stored procedure?? I am writing in C#. Can someone please help!!
I have a stored procedure that has a paramter that accepts a string of values. At the user interface, I use a StringBuilder to concatenate the values (2,4,34,35,etc.) I would send these value to the stored procedure. The problem is that the stored procedure doesn't allow it to be query with the parameter because the Fieldname, "Officer_UID" is an integer data type, which can't be query against parameter string type. What would I need to do to convert it to an Integer array? @OfficerIDs as varchar(200) Select Officer_UID From Officers Where Officer_UID in (@OfficerIDs) Thanks
I am using vs2008 with c#.I have table in my database that has email addresses stored in a column. I would like somehow to take each email address from every row and paste them into a textbox that can be copied and pasted with a comma delimiter into outlook so I can send a mass email.I have no idea how I can accomplish this task.
Hello All,I have a scenario in which my stored procedure has to return fewvariables with their value and also the collection.

I am attempting to create a stored procedure that will launch at report runtime to summarize data in a table into a table that will reflect period data using an array type field. I know how to execute one line but I am not sure how to run the script so that it not only summarizes the data below but also creates and drops the table.
I'm looking for a way to pass an array of values as a parameter to a query in a table adapter. For example I want to run a query something like:SELECT * FROM menu WHERE menu_role IN (@roles)And I could pass something like 'RegisteredUser, SuperUser, OtherUser' to the @roles parameter.For some reason I can't figure out a way to do this. Any help would be greatly appericated.Thanks,Ryan.
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?
If I delete 5 or more columns from a table I get the error "Index was outside the bounds of the array", OK is the only response. I then have to close the report and then open it again.
Easy fix is don't delete more than 5 columns, but my template is setup with 15 columns as it's far quicker to delete them as it is to add them 1 by 1 each time. I've finally got around to looking for a hotfix or something similar but can find no mention of this exact error relating to table column deleting.
Anyone else experience this or know if there is a hotfix for it?
I would like to INSERT an array of integer into a table in MSSQL Server, then count the number of rows in the table with c++ using ODBC. Here you find my code to do this task:
In my code, I would like to Insert the array and then count the number of rows:
SQLTCHAR Statement[] = _T("INSERT INTO information1(Wert1,Wert2) VALUES(?,?) select count(*) as a from information1 ") ;
Problem : My expectation is, that first 9 rows are inserted into table then comes 9 as result to user (if the table is empty) but this code returns me 1 if first the table is empty. If the table is not empty, it returns 1+number of existing rows in the table. If I take a look inside the table, the 9 rows are successfully inserted in it. Only the number of rows in the table is wrong.
Hint : If I monitor the database using SQL Profiler. It looks like this:
From last 1 week or so, i have been facing very strange problem with my sql server 2005s database which is configured and set on the hosting web server. Right now for managing my sql server 2005 database, i am using an web based Control Panel developed by my hosting company.
Problem i am facing is that, whenever i try to modify (i.e. add new columns) tables in the database, it gives me error saying that,
"There is already an object named 'PK_xxx_Temp' in the database. Could not create constraint. See previous errors. Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider".
where xxx is the table name.
I have done quite a bit research on the problem and have also searched on the net for solution but still the problem persist.
I am trying to insert bulk data into main table from staging table in sql server 2012. If any error comes, this total activity is rollbacked. I don't want that to happen. I want to know the records where ever the problem persists, and the rest has to be inserted.
But now I am getting error "General Network Error. Check your network documentation" after specifying Use existing stored procedure in TableAdpater Configuration Wizard.
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.Insert_MailSignature( @Singnature image )
AS
SET NOCOUNT OFF;
INSERT INTO MailsSignature (Singnature) VALUES (@Singnature);
SELECT Id, Singnature FROM MailsSignature WHERE (Id = SCOPE_IDENTITY())
For testing I created a desktop application and found that the same Code, same(Use existing stored procedure in TableAdpater Configuration Wizard) and same stored procedure is working fine in inserting image into the table.
Hi, I have a table in which I will insert several redundant data. Don't ask why, is Integration services, it only reads data and inserts it in a SQL table. THis way, I have a SQL table with several lines repeating them selves. What I want to do is create a procedure that reads the distinct data and inserts it in another table, but my problem is that I am not able to select data line by line on the original table to save it in local variables and insert it on the another table, I just can select the last line. I've tried a while cycle but no succeed. Here is my code: create proc insertLocalizationASdeclare @idAp int, @macAp varchar(20), @floorAp varchar(2), @building varchar(30), @department varchar(30)select @idAp = idAp from OLTPLocalization where idAp not in (select idAp from dimLocalization)select @macAp=macAp,@floorAp=floorAp,@building=building,@department=department from OLTPLocalizationif (@idAp <> null)beginInsert into dimLocalization VALUES(@idAp,@macAp,@floorAp,@building,@department)endGO This only inserts the last line in the "oltpLocalization" table. O the other hand, like this:create proc aaaaasdeclare @idAp as int, @macAp as varchar(50), @floorAp as int, @building as varchar(50), @department as varchar(50)while exists (select distinct(idAp) from OLTPLocalization)begin select @idAp =idAp from OLTPLocalization where idAp not in (select idAp from dimLocalization) select @macAp = macAp from OLTPLocalization where idAp = @idAp select @building = building from OLTPLocalization where idAp = @idAp select @department = department from OLTPLocalization where idAP = @idApif (@idAp <> null)begin insert into dimLocalization values(@idAp,@macAp,@floorAp,@building,@department)endendgo this retrieves every distinct idAp in each increment on the while statement. The interess of the while is really selecting each different line in the OLTPLocalization table. I did not find any foreach or for each statement, is there any way to select distinct line by line in a sql table and save each column result in variables, to then insert them in another table? I've also thought about web service, that reads the distinct data from the oltpLocalization into a dataset, and then inserts this data into the dimLocalization table. Is there anything I can do?Any guess?Really needing a hand here!Thanks a lot!
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.
