Locate Rows In Table Where Column Value Missing (I Think!)
Feb 8, 2007
SQL 2k, DDL below.
I have a simple table with the following data:
fldYear fldCode1 fldCode2
2000 ABC1 ABC12
2000 ABC1 ABC13
2001 ABC1 ABC12
2002 ABC1 ABC12
2002 ABC1 ABC13
I need to know, for every distinct combination of fldCode1 and
fldCode2, if there are any years missing.
For example,
SELECT DISTINCT fldCode1, fldCode2 FROM MyTable
returns
ABC1 ABC12
ABC1 ABC13
I need to know that in 2001 there was no entry for ABC1/ABC13
Thanks!
Edward
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].
[MyTable]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[MyTable]
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MyTable] (
[fldYear] [char] (10) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[fldCode1] [char] (10) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[fldCode2] [char] (10) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]

I have a table of languages, identified by a lang_id column as follows:
LANG_IDLANG_NAME
deDeutsche
enEnglish
plPolski
trTurkish
czCzech
I also have a RESOURCES table of phrases (for translation purposes) similar to this:
res_id res_lang res_phrase
AccessDenied en Access Denied
For some rows in the resources table I do not have all language codes present so am missing some translations for a given res_id.My question is what query can I use to determine the RESOURCE.RES_IDs for which I do not have a translation for.
For example I might have a de, en, cz translation for a phrase but not a pl phrase and I need to identofy those rows in order that I can obtain translations for the missing RESOURCE rows.

Hi all,
I have access to a stored procedure that was written previously for a process that uses the output from the stored procedure to provide input to a BCP operation in a bat file that builds a flat text file for use in a different system.
To continue with the set up, here is the stored procedure in question:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[HE_GetStks] AS
select top 15
Rating,
rank,
coname,
PriceClose,
pricechg,
DailyVol,
symbol
from
(selectf.rating,
f.rank,
s.coname,
cast ( f.priceclose as decimal(10,2)) as PriceClose,
cast ( f.pricechg as decimal(10,2)) as pricechg,
f.DailyVol,
f.symbol
from dailydata f, snames s
where f.tendcash = 0
and f.status = 1
and f.typ = 1
and f.osid = s.osid) tt
order by rating desc, rank desc
GO
The code in the calling bat file is:
REM *************************
REM BCP .WRK FILE
REM *************************
bcp "exec dailydb.[dbo].[HE_GetStks]" queryout "d:TABLESINPUTHE_GetStks.WRK" -S(local) -c -U<uname> -P<upass>
This works just peachy in the process for which it was designed, but I need to use the same stored procedure to grab the same data in order to store it in a historical table in the database. I know I could duplicate the code in a separate stored procedure that does the inserting into my database table, but I would like to avoid that and use this stored procedure in case the select statement is changed at some point in the future.
Am I missing something obvious in how to utilize this stored procedure from inside an insert statement in order to use the data it outputs? I know I cannot use an EXECUTE HE_GetStks as a subquery in my insert statement, but that is, in essence, what I am trying to accomplish.
I just wanted to bounce the issue of y'all before I go to The Boss and ask him to change the procedure to SET the data into a database table directly (change the select in the proc to an INSERT to a local table) then have the external BAT file use a GET procedure that just does the select from the local table. This is the method most of our similar jobs use when faced with this type of "intercept" task.
Any thoughts?

In a t-sql 2012 sql update script listed below, it only works for a few records since the value of TST.dbo.LockCombination.seq only contains the value of 1 in most cases. Basically for every join listed below, there should be 5 records where each record has a distinct seq value of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Thus my goal is to determine how to add the missing rows to the TST.dbo.LockCombination where there are no rows for seq values of between 2 to 5. I would like to know how to insert the missing rows and then do the following update statement. Thus can you show me the sql on how to add the rows for at least one of the missing sequence numbers?
UPDATE LKC
SET LKC.combo = lockCombo2
FROM [LockerPopulation] A
JOIN TST.dbo.School SCH ON A.schoolnumber = SCH.type
JOIN TST.dbo.Locker LKR ON SCH.schoolID = LKR.schoolID AND A.lockerNumber = LKR.number
[Code] ....

Hi, I need to write a query which I have never attempted before and could do with some help.... I have a Groups table and a Users_Groups look up table. In this model, users can only be assigned to 1 group. If a group is deleted, a trigger should fire and delete any rows in User_Groups having a matching Groups.Ref. Unfortunately, the trigger hasn't been firing and I now have a load of defunct rows in Users_Groups relating users to groups which do not exist.I now need to find all of these defunct rows in Users_Groups so that I can delete them. How can I find rows in Users_Groups where the parent rows and refs in Groups are null? I've tried searching the net for something similar but don't even know how to word the search properly to get any half relevant results. Cheers PS, I do realise I need to tighten the constraints on my database

I have a column like this:
Table: User
name, field1
Jack 1000|1001|1003
Berg 2000|1001|2004
Paul 1001|1000
Jane 1001
Now, I would like to replace all "1001" with nothing, and also remove the "|"-separator behind 1001 if it exists, basically removing both "1001" and "1001|", so the resulting table looks like this:
name, field1
Jack 1000|1003
Berg 2000|2004
Paul 1000
Jane
My tries, been plenty, but here are some:
Code:
UPDATE UserTable
SET field1 = REPLACE(field1, '1001', '')
UPDATE UserTable
SET field1 = REPLACE(field1, '1001|', '')
But the above queries replaces field1 only if the whole field matches '1001' or '1001|'...
The above queries do work, just like I want them to. I just happened to write them in this order on this post... did not do a copy of the actual query.

update mytable
set column2 = b.column2
from mytable as a

There is a one to one relationship between the two tables.

Hello, I have a problem. I am trying to pull data out of one system and bring it into a SQL Server database for faster retrieval. The original table does not have an identity column and has a composite primary key. The table I am inserting the data into matches the original table exactly except I have an Identity column that I need for the removal of duplicates. The task gets to the final commit and then fails telling me that it can't insert a NULL into an identity field. Why is it trying to insert a NULL, the field should be auto-populating. I did add the Identity field to the table after the SSIS package was already built, but I did go into the destination and fix the column mappings. For the Identity column I just selected the "skip" option or whatever it was. Why are the identities not being auto-inserted and why is SSIS throwing this error?
Can anyone help???
Thanks!

Can't seem to make this SQL query work!
Given one table, Table1, with columns Key1 (int), Key2 (int), and Type (varchar)...
I would like to get the rows where Type is equal to 'TypeA' and Key2 is Null that do NOT have a corresponding row in the table where Type is equal to 'TypeB' and Key2 is equal to Key1 from another row
So, given the data
**KEY1** **Key2** **Type**
1 NULL TypeA
2 5 TypeA
3 1 TypeB
4 NULL TypeA
5 NULL TypeB
I would like to return only the row where Key1 = 4 because that row meets the criteria of Type='TypeA'/Key2=NULL and does not have a corresponding row with Type='TypeB'/Key1=Key2 from another row.
I have tried this and it doesn't work...
SELECT t1.Key1, t1.Key2, t1.Type
FROM Table1 t1
WHERE t1.Key2 IS NULL
AND t1.Type LIKE 'TypeA'
AND t1.Key1 NOT IN
(SELECT Key1
FROM Table1 t2
WHERE t1.Key1 = t2.Key2
AND t1.Key1 <> t2.Key1
AND t2.Type LIKE 'TypeB')

I have several databases to deal with, all with + 250 tables. The databases are not identical and do not conform to a specific naming convention for table names. Most but not all tables have a column called "LastUpdated" containing a date/time (obviously). I'd like to be able to find all rows within a whole database (table by table) where the date/time is greater than a specified date/time.
I'm looking for a reliable query that will return all the rows in each of the tables but without me having to write hundreds of individual scripts "SELECT * FROM [dbo.xyz] WHERE LastUpdated > '2015-01-01 09:00:00:000'", or have to look through each table first to determine which of them has the LastUpdated field.

Hi
Just thought I would ask the question on here with regards a problem we have. We have PDA based auditing tool which use SQL Compact to store information via on Compact Framework application. Now we have a user who swears blind they have carried out an audit but there is no trace of it anywhere on the database even though there are audits on there prior to the said date and after and there is no other faciity to delete data from the app other than a complete wipe of the database hence everything would of gone!
Now, the data is stored over 4 tables from which there are no traces of any unrelated data between the tables etc. so its dissappeared, anybody any experience of data simply vanishing into thin air??
Thanks in advance

I have a results table that was created from many different sources in SSIS. I have done calculations and created derived columns in it. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to remove duplicate rows from this table without first writing it to a temp sql table and then parsing through it to remove them.
each row has a like key in a column - I would like to remove like rows keeping specific columns in the resulting row based on the data in this key field.
Ideas?
Thanks,

Hello,
I have a sql 2000 database in which reports are generated on a monthly basis from the data inside on of my tables. The reports have been working fine, until some of the rows seemed to have disappered!
I know the data use to be in the table, since it is showing on the old reports, however, when I try to pull that same data, it is not in the database at all.
Does anyone have any ideas on what could have caused this or how I can resolve??

I have enabled drillthrough on a cube (AS 2005) and selected the columns required. This worked. When I use the drillthrough option in Excel, drillthrough queries return less rows than expected. For example, for a cells combinations (pivot table) I saw 21198 rows, but after access to detail, query return just 21106 rows. Less rows than expected.
Any ideas what causes this?

Hello
Iam using:
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2039 (Intel X86) May 3 2005 23:18:38
Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation
Desktop Engine on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
I am using BULK INSERT to import some pipe-delimited flat files into a database.
I am firstly converting the file using VB.NET, to ensure each line of the file has a carriage return (by using streamwriter.writeline), and I am also ensuring there is no blank line at the end of the file (by using streamwriter.write).
Once I have done this, my BULK INSERT command appears to work OK. This is how I am using the statement:
BULK INSERT
tempHISTORY
FROM 'C:TEMPHISTORY.TXT'
WITH
(
FIRSTROW = 2,
FIELDTERMINATOR = '|',
ROWTERMINATOR = '
'
)
NB: The first row in the file is a header row.
This appears to work OK, however, I have found that certain files seem to miss the final line of the file! I have analysed these files incase they have an inconsistant number of columns but they don't.
I have also found that if I knock off the last column of the tempHISTORY table, the correct number of rows are imported. However, of course, I can't just discard one of the columns from the file, I need to import the entire file.
I cannot understand why BULK INSERT is choosing to miss the final line in the file, when the schema of the destination table matches the structure of the file.

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to create a performant script to copy records from a table in a source database, to an identical table in a destination database.
In SQL 2000, I used to create a little lookup which did a count using certain fields. If the record was missing, I executed an INSERT query, otherwise an UPDATE query. The result was that the table on the destination side was always up to date. Duplicate rows were out of the question.
This was, if I'm not mistaking, a Data Transformation, using a bit of custom VBA code to govern the transfer. For each source row, the custom code was executed. Depending on the result of the custom code, a different query was launched.
Now I'm trying to do the same using SSIS in SQL 2005. Is there a task which does this for me, or do I have to script again? In the latter case, which type of task would I use?
(I thought of the Script Task, but then I would need to set up quite a bit myself.)
Thank you,
Bram

Hi,
I have written a reporting application which has a SQL2005 backend. An import routine into SQL, written by a 3rd party, frequently fails. The main problems are missing rows in certain tables.
I am going to write an SP that will accepts a from and to date. I then want to search for rows of type X between those dates that do not exist so we then know between a date range, we have no data for these XYZ days.
I have this working by returning all rows between the dates into a dataset, sorted by date, and then running through the rows and testing if the next rows date is the next expected date. This works but I think is a very poor solution. This is all done on the client in C#.
I want to learn and implement the most efficent way of doing this. My only solution in a SP was to make a temporary table of all dates between the date range for row type X and then do a right outer join against the data table, returning all rows which are missing.
Something like this:
SELECT twmd.date
FROM #temp_table_with_all_dates ttwad
RIGHT OUTER JOIN table_with_missing_date twmd
ON ttwad.date = twmd.date
WHERE twmd.date IS NULL
Would this be a good, efficent solution, or should I just stick to my processing of a dataset in C#?
Many thanks in advance,
CB

Hi all,
We are using a mix of SQL 2005 and 2000 servers and our "main" database server is running SQL 2005 x64 (SP2 ver. 3042).
Our system has run perfectly for months, then subsequent to an SP2 update we are seeing several instances where the data record counts are different for several tables among all the servers.
We are using Merge Replication, with no filters and published every 2 minutes.
Any ideas?
TIA,

I was using the MDX Query Builder to create MDX queries for a SSRS report. I'm not sure what happened, but when I tried to create another dataset against the cube, the "Drop Column Fields Here" and "Drop Row Fields Here" areas were no longer available for me to drop attributes onto.
I have restarted VS, rebooted, you name it, I've tried it (short of re-installing). Has anyone encountered this and how did you "fix" it.
BTW: In order to continue working, I decided to use ProClarity to build the MDX for me and when I tried to paste it into the MDX editor, I get the following error: "The query cannot be prepared: The query must have at least one axis. ..". So, as I've seen from other posts, you can't use "any" MDX in the MDX Query Builder.
