Move Data From One Column To Another In Same Table
Sep 12, 2004
Okay, after I got everything imported, I found that a few thousand columns had "Shifted" on me. So now I am trying to "Shift them over" to where they need to be.
I did this:
INSERT INTO dbo.TABLENAME (COLUMN_NAME_TO_BE POPULATED)
SELECT COLUM_NAME_OF_INFO_TO_BE_MOVED
FROM dbo.TABLENAME
WHERE MFG = 'MANUFACTURER_NAME' AND PN LIKE '8888888888'
GO
I populated the PN column with 8888888888 to use as a reference point, and the MFG column already was populated with the correct name, so I was using those as my unique reference points.
Other columns that have the same MFG name are correct, so I have to use two unique identifiers to specify the actual data that needs to be moved.
It inserted 'NULL' in the whole table after I ran it in the Query Analyzer. It appeared to disregard the WHERE statement all together
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong here?
Is there a way to move the data from one column to the next one over by specifying other WHERE criterias?

I have two tables. They both have an identity field to join them together. One of the tables has a column of data that I want to put in the other table. I need to make sure the data is brought over using the join so it updates that column for the right record.
I am struggling with this. Should I use a update or an insert? I'm leaning toward update but I can't figure out how with the join.
This is what I have tried so far:
Update grpcon.GroupID = groups.GroupID
from grpcon Inner Join groups
on grpcon.GroupNum=groups.GroupNum

I am looking for a solution to move all Part Numbers for a specific manufacturer that is 9 digits long to a new column.
Let me explain............
I have a product table that has three columns of product codes associated with that product (Part Number as PN, Series as Series, and Industry Code as ICDE). I now want to create a fourth column (Manufacturer Code as MCDE) as my database has grown for another product specific numerical designator that is specific for one manufacturer.
Currently I have the specific 9 digit codes in the same column as the Part Numbers, though they all have their specific rows (Part Numbers & Manufacturer Codes are not in the same cell).
Now the Part Numbers have various numbers, letters, and special characters, but the specific 9 digit manufacturer codes are pure numbers.
So my question is............
How does one go about moving these specific 9 digit codes to their new column and out of the Part Number column?
They will all be exactly 9 digits, no special characters, no letters, no spaces.
Is there a way to tell MS SQL to just move anything for that specific manufacturer that has the 9 digit manufacturer numbers to the new column, bypassing anything with letters, special characters or any part number that is not a pure 9 digit number?

need some help converting a table which has one row for each year. Displaying the data so the each row will contain all of the information for the title and all of the years displayed in separate columns.
I have a SQL Querry which returns the data looking like this (the querry is grouping by Title and by year, then adding up the quantity of rows):
Basic Information needed for Life Insurance 25 2005
Basic Information needed for Life Insurance 45 2006
Ea Chairmans Conference 10 2005
EA Chairmans Conference Press Release 33 2005
EA Chairmans Conference Press Release 21 2006
EA Chairmans Inner Circle Press Release 16 2005
EA Chairmans Inner Circle Press Release 46 2006
EA Honor Ring Press Release 13 2005
EA Honor Ring Press Release 35 2006
EA National Conference Press Release 6 2005
EA National Conference Press Release 9 2006
I need this data displayed like this:
Title 2005 2006
Basic Information needed for Life Insurance 25 45
Ea Chairmans Conference 10 10
EA Chairmans Conference Press Release 33 21
EA Chairmans Inner Circle Press Release 16 46
EA Honor Ring Press Release 13 35
EA National Conference Press Release 6 9
What I want to do is to basically say:
If Row 1 Title = Row 2 Title and Row 1 Year = Row 2 (Year + 1)) Then
add to grid Row 1 Title, Row 1 Qty, Row 2 Qty
Skip Row 2 and go to Row 3 (repeat this step until end of data)
End
Is there any way in the SQL querry to retrieve this data in this format so that I can display it in a datagrid?
Is there any way to display the data in this pattern.
Below is the code I am using now, but since the moving of the data is done in code it is very slow.
****************** Global Variables
Dim dbName As String = "Region_Web_Page_Hits"
Dim ColumnCount As Integer
Function ReturnColumnHeaderAndHitsDataSet() As System.Data.DataSet
'******** This will bring back the column Headers and Gross Hits per Column
Dim ColumnHeaderAndHitsQueryString As String = "SELECT DISTINCT TOP 100 PERCENT " & _
"YEAR(dat_Date) AS str_Year, COUNT(str_PageName) AS int_YearHits " & _
"FROM dbo.tbl_web_page_hits " & _
"WHERE (str_URL LIKE N'%press_Release%') " & _
"GROUP BY YEAR(dat_Date) " & _
"HAVING (Not (Year(dat_Date) Is NULL)) " & _
"ORDER BY YEAR(dat_Date)"
Dim ColumnHeaderAndHitsDataSet = LoadDataArray(ColumnHeaderAndHitsQueryString, dbName)
Return ColumnHeaderAndHitsDataSet
End Function
Function ReturnTableDataSet() As System.Data.DataSet
'This query string will return the data needed to display the report.
Dim TableQueryString As String = "SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT " & _
"str_PageName, COUNT (str_PageName) AS int_Hits, YEAR(dat_Date) AS str_Year " & _
"FROM dbo.tbl_web_page_hits WHERE str_URL LIKE '%Press_Release%' " & _
"GROUP BY str_PageName, YEAR(dat_Date) ORDER BY str_PageName"
Dim TableDataSet = LoadDataArray(TableQueryString, dbName)
ColumnCount = TableDataSet.Tables(0).Columns.Count
Return TableDataSet
End Function
'******* Function to Load the Data Array
Function LoadDataArray(ByVal queryString, ByVal dbName) As System.Data.DataSet
Dim ConnectionString As String = ConnectionStr(dbName)
Dim sqlConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(ConnectionString)
Dim sqlCommand As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(queryString, sqlConnection)
Dim dataAdapter As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter(sqlCommand)
Dim dataSet As DataSet = New DataSet
dataAdapter.Fill(dataSet)
sqlConnection.Close()
Return dataSet
End Function
Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
Dim Sort_Field As String = ""
dg_Data.DataSource = QueryMethod(Sort_Field)
dg_Data.DataBind()
End If
End Sub
Currently I have a bunch of Classic ASP code which puts the data in to an array and then into a table with a series of if statments, but it is really slow.
I want to bind it to a data grid and if possible let the SQL statement format the data for me.

I have a production application that I am building some upgrades usinga second (empty) copy the database. A few of the upgrades includedchanging the datatypes of a few fields from varchar to int(all thevalues in this column are already numbers)I am not trying to move the data from the production database into theblank database using DTS and the fields that had their datatypeschanged are getting dropped by dts.Is there anyway to move this data easily through dts or through anothermethod and not have the fields with the datatype changes get dropped?I have about 60 tables so it is not as simple as just copying andpasting the data..

I have two tables say A and Archive. After a certain period of time some records are to be sent to archive table.To copy records to archive table I am using SqlBulkCopy operations.Now I have to delete the records from A Table. I was thinking of sending a Comma seperated id's of rows that are to be deleted to a stored procedure.Are there any better techniques to move data to archive table and to remove data from main table.?Thanks.

Hey all,
Another varbinary question.
I am trying to move an image stored in a table varbinary(max) directly from one table to another programmatically.
The rest of the data is just nvarchar(50) so I just use a T-SQL select statement in the code behind and feed all of the date into an SqlDataReader, I do this becuse there is some user interaction when the data is moved, so there may be some new values updated when transfering from one table to another, so once the old and possibly new data is stored in seperate variables then I use a T-SQL insert statement to move all of the data into the other table.
Problem is I am not really sure how to handle the image data(varbinary(max)) to just do a straight up transfer from the one table to another. I get conversion errors when trying to handle the data as a string which makes sense.
Not sure what to put for code examples since I really am stumped with this, but here is what is not working.
Dim imageX As String
SqlDataReader Code - imageX = reader("imageData")
Insert code - myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@imageData", imageX)
Thanks in advance,

I am using a WriteBack Partition to receive data from various inputs and appends any new data that I add to the WB partition.
I am able to read the data immediately in the WB partition through a Fact partition query. This is working at this point as desired.
Eventually I want to move the data from the WB partition into Fact Partition. How can I do this, manually and through automation.

I would like to move the data / findings into a perm table?The reason for this is so clients can connect to the table using excel. I have another stored procedure which is setup in this process already and it works well. I basically have the stored procedure setup on a task to run early in the morning so when clients get up they connect and get their data.

Hi all, I am not over familiar with SQL, I am a VB programmer, simply I need to achieve the following within Enterprise Manager.
I have 2 tables, different designs, different number of rows, I simply need to check whether the contents of a column in the first table is in a column in the second table, just simply a table/column to table/column data check for the same data content.
Easy Peasy for you guys, any help would be appreciated.

If on the source I have a new column, the script generated by SqlPackage.exe recreates the table on the background with moving the data into a temp storage. If the table is big, such approach can cause issues.
Example of the script is below: in the source project I added columns [MyColumn_LINE_1] and [MyColumn_LINE_5].
Is there any way I can make it generating an alter statement instead?
BEGIN TRANSACTION;
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE;
SET XACT_ABORT ON;
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tmp_ms_xx_MyTable] (
[MyColumn_TYPE_CODE] CHAR (3) NOT NULL,
[Code] ....
The same script is generated regardless the table having data or not, having a clustered or nonclustered PK.

I have a requirement of table partitioning. we have 10 years of data on a table which is 30 billion up rows on 2005 server we are upgrading it to 2014. we have to keep 7 years of data. there is no keys on table or date column. since its a huge amount of data and many users its slow down the process speed. we are thinking to do partition on 7 years for Quarterly based. but as i said there is no date column on table we have to use reference table to get date. is there a way i can do the partitioning with out adding date column on table? also does partition will make query faster?
I have think three ways to do it.
1. leave as it is.
2. 7 years partition on one server
3. 3 years partition on server1 and 4 years partition on server2 (for 4 years is snapshot better?)

I am studying indexes and keys. I have a table that has a fixed width of data to be loaded in the first column which is parsed in a view based on data types within the fixed width specifications.
Example column A:
(name phone house cost of house,zipcodecountystatecountry)
-a view will later split this large varchar string based
column b: is the source filename of the data load (varchar 256)
....
a. would there be a benefit of adding a clustered or nonclustered index (if so which/point in direction on why)
b. is there benefit of making one of these two columns a primary key (millions of records) or for adding a 3rd new column as a pk?
c. view: this parses the data in column a so it ends up looking more like "name phone house cost of house zipcode county state country" each having their own column.
-any pros/cons of adding indexes (if so which) to the view instead of the tables or both for once the data is parsed?

hello all,
I don't know how to update table A with data from table B without specifying every column.
These two tables have the same fields and same structure.
I know that it's possible to do the following:
update table A
set A.name = B.name,
A.job = B.job
from table B
But I have many columns and don't want to describe every column, is that possible?
Thanks!

I have a column that contains extra info that needs to be moved to another column or deleted alltogether. is there a way to select these items and move them to another column, leaving the rest of the data in the original column?
EXAMPLE
MYTABLE >COLUMN1
May have Data Like: ABCDE123 SER1 or XYZ12DEFSer1:1
WHAT I NEED TO DO IS
Move anything after the SER1 to a new column and retain the rest of the data in the original column. making it look something like this:
COL1 COL2
ABCDE123 SER1
XYZ12DEF Ser1:1
Another question is if there is a way to delete extra spaces? Like make all data that has two or more extra spaces, just single spaces and any additional spacing after a row of data, delete all additional spaces after the last letter/character/number.
One more question - What would be a great resource to learn MS SQL in more depth?
I am trying to learn ASP/VBScript/JavaScript/ and now MS SQL all at once b/c this is what my business depends on. Trying to be 5,000 hats at once can get confusing and overwhelming, so I am looking for any "Crash course" I can to learn as much, as fast as possible. Any direction or ideas?
Thank you.

The ERP manufacturer used an image data type to store large text data fields. I am trying to move these data types from one database to another database using either Sql Queries or MS Access. I can cast them as an 8000 char varchar to read them directly but have no luck importing into these image data fields.
Access and Crystal are not able to read these fields directly.
Any suggestions? Most information about these fields has to do with loading files but I am just moving data.
Thanks,
Ray
