Mass Import Into Existing Table
Sep 17, 2013
I have an existing SQL table that I want to import 300,000 rows into. I have copied the table headers into Excel and added all the rows but constantly getting multiple errors no matter what way I try to import it.
So far tried Import Method from SQL Management Studio, BULK INSERT and SQL Script. What is the easiest way?
If I try this
select *
into Coupon FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Excel 8.0;Database=D:coupon.xls;HDR=YES',
'SELECT * FROM [coupon$]')
I get
OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' cannot be used for distributed queries because the provider is configured to run in single-threaded apartment mode.

Say you have an existing populated SQL 2005 database, with 700+ tables, and you want to just change the order of the columns inside every table. Short of manually building conversion scripts, anyone know an automated way to do this? I was thinking thru ways to do them all in one shot, and have tools like Erwin and DbGhost that could be used also. Basically moving some standard audit columns from the end of the tables to just after the PK columns.
Thanks, Bruce

Hi,
I'm working with MRS and I've got a table with a lot of entries. For each value in the table I'm trying to get the text colour to be set to 'red' when the value of the cell is less than 0. Otherwise remain black.
I can do this by setting the colour property cell by cell. But I have a lot of cells in the table. Is there a way to set the statement to apply to ALL cells in the table?
Basically I'm asking if there is a way to set the property in bulk instead of going through tediously cell by cell.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
I am a newbie so i apologies beforehand for any mistakes i make on this forum.
Anyway, i created an asp.net website using the MS Visual Web developer tool. This has a couple of SQL SERVER databases within it.
I then latervinstalled the SQL SERVER management studio express in order to manage the SQL SERVER DBs that i had as part of my website but they do not appear within the management studio db list.
As this is the express version, is there anyway of importing the existing SQL SERVER dbs that i have to the management studio so i can manage them from there?
Regards,
Shuja.

i have 2 tables (both containing the same column names/datatypes), say table1 and table2.. table1 is the most recent, but some rows were deleted on accident.. table2 was a backup that has all the data we need, but some of it is old, so what i want to do is overwrrite the rows in table 2 that also exist in table 1 with the table 1 rows, but the rows in table 2 that do not exist in table one, leave those as is.. both tables have a primary key, user_id.
any ideas on how i could do this easily?
thanks

Hello,
I'd like to create a temporary table with the same schema as an exiting table. How can I do this without hard coding the column definitions into the temporary table definition?
I'd like to do something like:
CREATE TABLE #tempTable LIKE anotherTable
..instead of...
CREATE TABLE #tempTable (id INT PRIMARY KEY, created DATETIME NULL etc...
I'm sure there must be a simple way to do this!
Many thanks,
Ben S

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 have a Hits table that tracks the hits on the id of a Link table:
Hits:
int linkId (foreign Key to Link)
datetime dateCreated
varchar(50) ip
We recently had to merge Links from different systems that are implemented similarly. As a result, all the linkIds are now wrong in the Hits table because the ids all changed. I managed to track down all the old ids and their associated new ids and have it in a table that I call joined_links
joined_linksint oldId
int newId
So, how do I do a mass update of these linkIds in the Hits table in SQL? I know I could do it in .NET, but I'd rather not write an app to do that runs thousands of update statements. There's gotta be a way to do it something like this:
UPDATE Hits h SET h.linkId = (SELECT newId FROM joined_links WHERE oldId=h.linkId)
but obviously I don't have visibility of that linkId in the subselect... A Loop maybe?

I have a series of DTS packages.
Each package has 20 queries.
Each query has a server name.
Is there a way to change the servername without editing each query in each DTS package.
I'd like to copy the template DTS package, then perform the modification.
Thanks

This is a run of the mill application that moves orders from one table to another. There are 2 tables, Ordersummary & HstOrders.
Ordersummary has the following columns...
Identifier
FollowupId
OrderNumber
OrderReference
OrderReferenceOrigin
......
......
HstOrders has the following columns...
Identifier
OrderNumber
OrderReference
OrderType
......
......
The above two tables are bound by Identifier. After each month end, Orders are moved from Ordersummary to HstOrders.
Now my task is to update all rows in OrderSummary with the order details as seen in HSTOrders for ordertype = 'CREDIT'. OrderReferenceOrigin(in Ordersummary) should be updated with the value of Orderreference(from hstorders).
I have to update each row at a time & I need to write a cursor for mass updates where ordersummary.identifier = hstorders.identifier.
Can someone please help with in writing this update statement as I never wrote a cursor.

SQL Server 2000 on Win2k
I'm fairly new to SQL Server and I'm just wondering if it's possible to Update Statistice for all indexes somehow? I'm looking at the Update Statistics command and it doesn't seem to be possible.
The situation we have is a reporting DB that basically has all it's tables truncated and remade every night by some DTS jobs that import from another datasource and change the data and build some denormalzed tables etc.
Some of the large Insert operations go from taking 8 mins to taking several hours sometimes and updating the stats seems to fix the problem for a while. So I'd like to make sure the optimizer has all the latest stats for all tables.
Any other advice would be appreciated.
Cheers.

Hi,
I have an user table with a single integer column. No indexes, no identities, nothing. I have to insert 600,000 rows via a client app. In tests, using BCP/Bulk Insert/DTS all runs OK (sub 3 seconds). However the app takes 5000 rows a second [considerably slower]. I can mimic this slow perfomance, within DTS, by removing the 'Fast Load' & 'Batch' options.
Question= why would the SQL insert run slower on one server and as fast as BCP/Bulk Insert/DTS on another? What can I check on the 'slow' running server? May there be a file version anomally ??
Version = SQL-2000 SP4
Any help much appreciated !!!

Does anyone know what the best way to do mass updates in SQL server is? I am currently using the methodology suggested in this article
http://www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=3141
But the article is assuming that once I update a field it is going to have a value that is NOT NULL. So I can loop through and update the rows that have a NOT NULL value. But my updated rows do contain NULL values, in this case what is the best way to go about this???
***************************************
Here is my code. I want to avoid using Upd_flag becos
after the following code runs I need to reset that flag
before I run my next query
***************************************
--Set rowcount to 50000 to limit number of inserts per batch
Set rowcount 50000
--Declare variable for row count
Declare @rc int
Set @rc=50000
While @rc=50000
Begin
Begin Transaction
--Use tablockx and holdlock to obtain and hold
--an immediate exclusive table lock. This usually
--speeds the insert because only one lock is needed.
update t_PGBA_DTL With (tablockx, holdlock)
SET t_PGBA_DTL.procedur = A.[Proc code],
t_PGBA_DTL.Upd_flag = 1
FROM t_PGBA_DTL
INNER JOIN CPT_HCPCS_I9_PROC_CODES A
ON t_PGBA_DTL.PROC_CD
= A.[Proc code]
WHERE t_PGBA_DTL.Upd_flag = 0
--Get number of rows updated
--Process will continue until less than 50000
Select @rc=@@rowcount
--Commit the transaction
Commit
End

The company i work for changed names and all email addresses within the company have changed. While it was OK for a while they are no longer going to be forwarding email to the old addresses to the new ones. There are Tons of subscriptions and tons of email addresses that need to be changed to the new names.
If i could find the table with the TO: part of the subscription held in it i could just run an update on that field and it would be solved...however, i cannot find that field...
So,
Without going into every subscription in report manager, how can i change the email addresses? Any Suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Hi There
Most of the time my solutions consist of 1 or 2 packages and config files work well.
Now i have a solution with about 50 packages i have to move to QA.
However a config file has the package ID, so even thoug they use the same data source connection. I would have to create and change 50 config files.
Data sources are kept in the package xml , so if i copy all the packages to QA , and then change the Global Data Source connection, i still have to open each package maually and save it again.
Surely there must be an easy way to move all 50 packages and have the connection now point to QA. But config files and global data sources dont do the trick, what am i missing here ?
Thanx

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows of any way, including third party tools, to replicate a design change on a table across many different databases. I have written an ASP script that allows me to copy multiple tables to multiple databases in one go but I need something that will allow me to replicate the design of a table by comparing source and destination tables. So far I have scripted most of it but I have no idea on which system table to get the identity information and it seems there must be an easier way!
Any help would be appreciated,

Hi,
I've been having problems with my tempdb filling up, and causing all databases on the server to stop functioning properly. I've been removing alot of data lately (millions of rows), and I think this is the reason why my tempdb log is going thru an unusual load.
Whats the best way to make sure the tempdb doesnt fill up causing me major problems? I had temporarily turned off backups while I was having a new HD put in. Am I right in thinking that when a DB is backed up, the tempdb log is reduced in size? Should maintaining a daily backup solution help keep things under control ?
Thanks very much for any tips!

I want to move an existing table from another.
Example
B.mdf dbo.xx to C.mdf dbo.xx
B.mdf dbo.xx has records - I created a script and install the script for C.mdf dbo.xx
C.mdf dbo.xx is empty -
All I need now is to populate the records from B.mdf dbo.xx to the empty C.mdf dbo.xx
I was telling I could do a cut and paste to copy the dbo.xx
Thank you in advance.
