I am trying to update values in two tables (approx 1-2 million records).
I have decided to use a MERGE statement, however have been unsuccessful to do so.
Below is an example of the statement.
The error is receive is "Incorrect syntax near '('." right after the MERGE line.
Is it not possible to use this syntax ?
Example:
[CODE]
MERGE
( SELECT a.id, b.id2

I've have a need with SQL Server 2005 (so I've no MERGE statement), I have to merge 2 tables, the target table has 10 fields, the first 4 are the clustered index and primary key, the source table has the same fields and index.Since I can't use the MERGE statement (I'm in SQL 2005) I have to make a double step operation, and INSERT and an UPDATE, I can't figure how to design the WHERE condition for the insert statement.

I have two tables: Orders and Appoitment. Each order can have up to 2 appointments. Now, I need a SELECT statement that gives me this:
ORDER APPT
1 appt1 appt2
2 appt1 appt2
and not this:
ORDER APPT
1 appt1
1 appt2
2 appt1
2 appt2
In other words, I want to merge the two appointments for each order. I tried using the merge statement but it does not work. Tried to google but saw nothing. My database is SQL server. Please help. Thanks
We have a current database table (PAF) that had a new column added to it named 'Email'. This table also has some other columns including one named [Employee Number].We also have an Excel spreadsheet that has 2 columns 'Employee Number' and 'E-mail Address'. I need to take the E-mail Address field from the spreadsheet, match it up with the employee number between the spreadsheet and PAF table, and then insert the email address into the database column.I'm guessing I would do this using a MERGE statement, correct?

I want to combine update and insert statement into single statement as follows.
MERGE INTO MyTable
USING MyTempTable
ON MyTempTable.MatchingField1 = MyTable.MatchingField1
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE UpdateField1 = MyTempTable.UpdateField1

I am currently having this problem with gridview and detailview. When I drag either onto the page and set my select statement to pick from one table and then update that data through the gridview (lets say), the update works perfectly. My problem is that the table I am pulling data from is mainly foreign keys. So in order to hide the number values of the foreign keys, I select the string value columns from the tables that contain the primary keys. I then use INNER JOIN in my SELECT so that I only get the data that pertains to the user I am looking to list and edit. I run the "test query" and everything I need shows up as I want it. I then go back to the gridview and change the fields which are foreign keys to templates. When I edit the templates I bind the field that contains the string value of the given foreign key to the template. This works great, because now the user will see string representation instead of the ID numbers that coinside with the string value. So I run my webpage and everything show up as I want it to, all the data is correct and I get no errors. I then click edit (as I have checked the "enable editing" box) and the gridview changes to edit mode. I make my changes and then select "update." When the page refreshes, and the gridview returns, the data is not updated and the original data is shown. I am sorry for so much typing, but I want to be as clear as possible with what I am doing. The only thing I can see being the issue is that when I setup my SELECT and FROM to contain fields from multiple tables, the UPDATE then does not work. When I remove all of my JOIN's and go back to foreign keys and one table the update works again. Below is what I have for my SQL statements:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SELECT:SELECT People.FirstName, People.LastName, People.FullName, People.PropertyID, People.InviteTypeID, People.RSVP, People.Wheelchair, Property.[House/Day Hab], InviteType.InviteTypeName FROM (InviteType INNER JOIN (Property INNER JOIN People ON Property.PropertyID = People.PropertyID) ON InviteType.InviteTypeID = People.InviteTypeID) WHERE (People.PersonID = ?)UPDATE:UPDATE [People] SET [FirstName] = ?, [LastName] = ?, [FullName] = ?, [PropertyID] = ?, [InviteTypeID] = ?, [RSVP] = ?, [Wheelchair] = ? WHERE [PersonID] = ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The only fields I want to update are in [People]. My WHERE is based on a control that I use to select a person from a drop down list. If I run the test query for the update while setting up my data source the query will update the record in the database. It is when I try to make the update from the gridview that the data is not changed. If anything is not clear please let me know and I will clarify as much as I can. This is my first project using ASP and working with databases so I am completely learning as I go. I took some database courses in college but I have never interacted with them with a web based front end. Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for any time, help, and/or advice you can give.Brian

Hello,
i have a little question.
Is it possible you can't perform an insert statement on a table wich is replicated with merge replication?
I set the replication up and everything works fine, but if i want to perfom an insert statement on the table, i get an error that the values i want to add aren't the same as the one in the table.
I know that merge replication creates a new column and I think that's the problem.
Can someone help me solve this or confirm that you can't perform an insert statement on a replicated table?

skip locked records in a MERGE statement and output the list of skipped records.
Through the documentation, internet posts and testing, I believe it is NOT possible. MERGE acts like a single atomic DML statement, and therefore cannot avoid locked records.
I can use the READPAST hint, which will skip the row-locked records. However, it could actually insert duplicate keys in certain cases (as it is ignoring records, i would guess), which would not be acceptable.
In the following t-sql 2012 merge statement, the insert statement works but the update statement does not work. I know that is true since I looked at the results of the update statement:
Merge TST.dbo.LockCombination AS LKC1

from

Thus can you show me some t-sql 2012 that I can use to make update statement work in the merge function?

Hello, I need your expert help:
I have two tables (ship2005 and ship2006) all with same structure
Sold_to
Week
Year
Units
Dollars
Style
I have to merge them together, and add some other columns from other tables
Custmstr (director) and stylemstr (style) based on Sold_to
In the format so I’m able to see 2005 week, 2006 week, 2005 unit, 2006 unit, 2005 dollars, 2006 dollars and so on.
This one is working, but forever…
where Custmstr.Sold_to *= ship2005.Sold_to
and Custmstr.Sold_to *= ship2006.Sold_To
and stylmstr.style_num *= ship2005.style_number
and stylmstr.style_num *= ship2006.style_number
And another thing: how can I populate the Year column for both?
Thank you very much
Hello All,
I have two column firstname,lastname.I just want to merge both to one.
Like john ,david
it should be johndavid into one.Please its urgent
I use the merge statement in a sproc to insert, update and delete records from a staging table to a production table.
In the long sql, here is a part of it,
When Matched and
((Student.SchoolID <> esis.SchoolID
OR
Student.GradeLevel <> esis.GradeLevel
OR
Student.LegalName <> esis.LegalName
OR
Student.WithdrawDate <> esis.WithdrawDate
Student.SPEDFlag <> esis.SPEDFlag
OR
Student.MailingAddress <> esis.MailingAddress)
Then update
Set Student.Schoolid=esis.schoolid,
.....
My question is how about if the column has null values in it.for example
if schoolID is null in production table is null, but in staging table is not null, will the <> return true.or if either side of <> has a null value, will it return true.
I don't want it to omit some records and causing the students records not get updated.If not return true, how to fix this?
We have a SSIS package which loads the data from csv files to DB. It only loads the new entries ie if the row already exists in the tables than it doesn't insert it. For this we load the CSV to temp tables for respective schemas and than those are compared with base tables of respective schemas and inserted new rows. For this we use Merge statement.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have created mergse statement using SCD2.where I am inserting the data if my BBxkey is not matching with target and updating the rows if the bbxkey is matching and rowchecksum is different.
Working of Store procedure
There are 2 scenario covered in this procedure on the basis of that ETL happening.
There are 2 columns deriving from source table at run time, one is BBxkey which is nothing but a combination of one or more column or part of column and another column is a Rowchecksum column which is nothing but a Hashvalue of all the column of the tables for a row.
Merge case 1:-WHEN NOT MATCH THEN INSERT
If source BBxkey is not there in Archive table that means if BBxKey is null then those records are new and it will directly inserted into Archive table.
Merge case 2:-WHEN MATCH THEN UPDATE
If Source.BBxkey=Target.BBxkey && Source.Rowchecksum<>Target.Rowchecksum then this means source records are available in Archive table but data has been changed, in this case it will update the old record with latestversion 0 and insert the new record with latestversion 1.
my sp failing when source having more than 1 same bbxkey.

In order to feed a fact table of a dwh from a staging table I'm using the MERGE statement in order to control insert and update operations. It is possible that the staging table has duplicate rows respect to the fields controlled in the merge condition:
When I run the first time the MERGE statement unwanted rows could be inserted in the fact table.
Does the MERGE statement allow to manage this case or do I need to filter data from the staging table before to write them into the fact table?
This website describes how Merge statements should be optimized by the use of indexes on the target?source tables: [URL]..... It says that a clustered index should be created on the join column in the target and a unique covering index on the source table.Â
I have read in other articles that insert/delete/update statements perform worse on tables with clustered indexes as the leaf level pages will have to be reorganized.
Why in the case of Merge statement having a indexes actually improve the performance of insert/delete/update statements?
Hi guys! I'm trying to figure out how to join 3 tables, but I can't seem to find a solution. What I want to do is to put table 1, table 2 and table 3 into table_merged.
table_merged = table 1 + table 2 + table 3
Is it possible to merge tables even if they have different fields?
Please help.

If possible, I would like to create a view using two different tables, but with the fields merged (ie. create one table from two tables). The table structures are pretty much the same. Can you do this from a singe SQL statement? Any ideas? My only alternative is creating a temp file that inserts records from both tables, but I want to avoid doing that.

For performance reasons i want to move the Merge Replication tables in a DB of mine (mainly MSMerge_Tomestone and MSMerge_Contents) to a seperate filegroup ... it's a heavy transactional DB and the index fragamentation rate is quite phenominal!
I need to take certain items of data from four different tables and out them into one table.
Unfortunately my source data's version of SQL does not support the LEFT JOIN keyword which has left me with a bit of a problem.
I saw the merge join in SSIS and used it to get data from two of the tables and stick them in the destination and it all worked fine.
That got me thinking, is it possible to create a second merge join transformation within the same data flow task for the remaining two tables and then join the output of both the merge joins to give me the data I need from all four tables in one output?
I'm using a Merge statement to update/insert values into a table. The Source is not a table, but the parameters from a Powershell script. I am not using the Primary Key to match on, but rather the Computer Name (FullComputerName).
