Inserting New Column In Specific Place
Jan 15, 2007
Hi
In MySQL it's simple to insert new columns in specific locations in a table like this
sql Code:
Original
- sql Code
alter table foo add column bar integer not null default 0 after baz
ALTER TABLE foo ADD COLUMN bar integer NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 AFTER baz
But attempting to do the same thing in MSSQL fails with a syntax error on the word "after." I can insert columns in MSSQL but only if they are added to the end. I looked at the Microsoft insert documentation here but don't see any way to replicate the above MySQL command.
Is there any way to do this in MSSQL? Or do I have to completely recreate all my tables from scratch?
Thanks for any help

Hi,We use a database with about 40 related tables. Some tables contain asmuch as 30.000 records. We use Access97 as an interface to thedatabase. Now recently we have the problem that when we want to inserta row in one specific table (alwasy the same) the database makesblocks.Details:- about 10% of the data was inserted using copying from Excel, beforethis action there was no problem, though there is no evidence thatthis causes the problem.- inserting rows via the Query Analyzer works fine, via Access causestrouble.- the tempdb lofile has grown to 48Mb.Has anyone ideas about what is going on and what I can do to solve theproblem?TAV,Jan Willems

Is there any way to update a column in a clustered index without incurringthe cost of reordering.Example:Create table TableX (Col1 int,Col2 smalldatetime,Col3 varchar(10))gocreate clustered indext ix_test on tableX (Col2, Col1)goupdate TableX set Col2 = '2004-12-07'-- Yes I specifically left off the criteria to update every row.It would seem to me in this situation that the data types require the samestorage, all rows are being updated in one transaction, and there's no newto reorder since all will be the same.Thanks,Danny

I need to increment a value in some rows to keep a list in order. Here's the idea:
UPDATE myList SET OrderNum = OrderNum + 1 WHERE UserID = @UserID, OrderNum >= @OrderNum
This throws an exception. Is there a quick and easy way to update like this?

I want to write SQL that will search the tables in a database for a specific column, like this. For instance, I have a column "Unique_ID" that is in many of our tables (hundreds) but not in others and want to find out the tables it is in. It is always the first column.
I tried to find a system stored procdure to do this but couldn't and tried to create a script using the sysobjects and syscolumns tables in the Master db, but came to a roadblock because they don't seem to be related at all.
I would surely appreciate if someone else has already done this!
Thanks!

declare @BO table (Col1 varchar(50), Col2 varchar(50))
insert into @BO values

select * from @BO
The 2 digit number that appears on line 1, 7 and 13 (only in this example) i need to have added to the begin of each value below it until the next 2 digit number is encountered. The desired result set would look like:

I'm working on a join between two tables where I only want one row returned... I'm matching on two columns between two tables. One of those columns in the target table could be null. I only want one record returned.
create table #vehicle(id int, vehiclemake varchar(10), vehiclemodel varchar(10), classtype varchar(1))
create table #class(id int, classtype varchar(1), value int)
insert into #vehicle values(1, 'AUDI', 'R8', 'A')
insert into #vehicle values(2, 'AUDI', null, 'B')
insert into #class values(1, 'A', 100)
insert into #class values(2, 'B', 1)
[Code] ....
Using the above example, if VehicleModel is anything other than 'R8' is specified then I want it to return the other class type record.
This is going to be used as a join within a bigger statement, so I'm not sure ordering and returning top 1 is going to work.

Hi,
I have created a matrix with multiple rows in the main data cell and a subtotal at the end of the row. The first row in my matrix main cell is just a count of records, whereas the 2nd row is a % of the value in the 1st row compared to the total of that row. I have 5 columns in the matrix as below (only first row is shown plus the total row. Ignore any rounding issues):

I have a total column at the end. I want to hide the %Total row within the total row as it does not make sense in this context. Anyone know how to achieve this?
Thanks

I am building a data warehouse. I have many columns I want to populate in a fact table using integration services. Sample fields are: companyID, companyName, companyNumberOfAccounts, company, NumberOfUsers.
In the integration services package, I would like to keep this fact table in place and populated with data and to build integration services packages that update each of the existing row's specific columns (e.g. companyNameOfAccounts) one by one. For example, I have a source of data that has companyID and companyNumberOfAccounts data.
Is it possible to use the SQL Server Destination or OLE DB Destination Integration Services elements to import companyID and companyNumberOfAccounts data so that existing records just have their companyNumberOfAccounts column updated?

I want to set a column to 0 if it is set to a certain number. There are several columns to check though, so I am wondering if I can do it all in one query, or if I have to do it in single queries?
here is an example:
account | contact_id_1 | contact_id_2 | contact_id_3
433 | 67 | 23 | 67
so I want to set any contact_id_N = 0 where contact_id_N is = 67
so in the end, the table will look like this:
account | contact_id_1 | contact_id_2 | contact_id_3
433 | 0 | 23 | 0
is there a way to do it in one statement?

I've got an OLEDB DB2 linked server to a db2/AS400 instance and selecting from a table on the server has never caused problems before. One of the columns is a large text field. If I select all the columns but the large text field, it returns as normal, but including the large text field now, I get:
"Transport error: shared memory provider error: 0 - no process is on the other end of the pipe"
The largest entry in the text field is about 5k characters, and there don't appear to be any strange characters.

I have huge export files in a DB and i need to check if there are any datasets that have the same value in the first column, but a different in another one, via a query of course.
Like this:
ID IS NULL
1 1
2 1
3 0
1 0
The expected ID i get as a result of my query should be 1 in this case.

I have to extract a specific part of a string from a column in a sql server table. Following are the details and I have given the sample table and the sample strings.
I have 2 columns in my table [dbo].[StringExtract] (Id, MyString)
The row sample looks like the following
I have to extract the Id and a part of the column from mystring.

The part I want to extract is in the line "ZZZ" and the string part that i want to extract is between the 5th and 6th pipes (|). So my output looks like the following
Id DesiredString

2 Extracts^This^String2
3 Extracts^This^String3
Is there a way to extract this either using TSQL or SSIS.
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[StringExtract]') AND type in (N'U'))

[Active] [char](1) NULL DEFAULT ('N') --Must use char 1 b/c more than 2 possible values

Insert into Test (Customer, Active) Values ('Acme','Y')..I want trigger to tell me whowhenwhere this value was changed. If using sql auth capture client windows id if possible and write to audit table Update Test set Active = 'N'

I'll try to make this simple. I'm on SSRS 2005 and I have a report with a matrix object that has one row group and one column group. I need to switch the number format only for values where the column group has a specific value.
For example, here are the records in the table:
Customer, Type, Amount
Customer1, Revenue, -100
Customer2, Cost, 60
Customer1, Revenue, -200
Customer2, Cost, 125
By default the matrix object shows the following (the total comes from the standard subtotal on the column group):
Revenue Cost Total
Customer1 -100 60 -40
Customer2 -200 125 -75
But the users need the report to look like this, with all positives (why, oh why?! ):
Revenue Cost Total
Customer1 100 60 40
Customer2 200 125 75
I was able to use the inscope function to switch the signs of the Total numbers. But now I need to switch the signs of the Revenue column from negative to positive (and vice versa), without affecting the signs of the Cost column. It's strange to me because I CAN switch the signs for a specific row group (changing Customer1's number format, without affecting Customer2's format) using something like this:
=iif(Fields!Customer.Value = "Customer1", "($#,###.#0); $#,###.#0", "$#,###.#0; ($#,###.#0)")
But a similar expression specifying a column group value does not work, because the report seemingly doesn't recognize the value of the column group at all no matter what I do:
=iif(Fields!Type.Value = "Revenue", "($#,###.#0); $#,###.#0", "$#,###.#0; ($#,###.#0)")
The other reason why this is strange is that I've done drill-through reports off of matrix objects where specific column group values (the ones clicked on) can be passed into the drill-through report parameters. So it recognizes the column group values upon drill-through, but not for formatting?
How else can I do this? I must be missing something here. Thanks.
