Hello All.
I just made some huge changes to a database on the development computer. However, I want to transfer all of the information from the Employees table in the old DB to the new DB (no changes made on that table).
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Hello all,
Ive been tasked with writing a SQL query to move information from 2 tables(old1 and old2) into 1(new). table new already has all the information from old1, but also has some additional columns that are encompassed from old2. Also some of the columns in table new need to be assigned a 1 or a 0 if the information is present in old2. Here is what I came up with:
UPDATE new
SET new.IsRentalLocation = 1
new.IsMainCampus = 1
new.IsLearningCenter = 1
new.IsStudentResource = 1
new.AlternateStateDisp = 0
new.Directions = tbl_old2.Directions
new.Catering = tbl_old2.Catering
new.Lab = tbl_old2.Lab
FROM new, old1, old2
WHERE new.CampusID = old1.CampusID
AND old1.LearningCenterID = old2.LearningCenterID
Does this look right? or should I be using an insert command?
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.
I want to be able to see when records have been added to a table. The issue is we have a DTS job scheduled to run every night. The developer who wrote it password protected it and doesn't work here anymore. I want to add a step to this series of DTS jobs and want to run it just prior to his job. Is there a way to see when the records are being added or when this job is being run? Thanks again, you guys are the best.

I have one table that has unique id's associated with each row of information. I want to delete rows of information in one table that have a unique ID that references information in another table.
Here is a basic breakdown of what I am trying to do:
Table1 (the table where the rows need to be deleted from)
Column_x (Holds the id that is unique to the various rows of data - User ID)
Table2 (Holds the user information & has the associated ID)
Column_z (holds the User ID)
I tried this on a test set of tables and could not get it to work. What I am trying to do is skip all rows of Table1 that have ID's present in Table2, and delete the rows of ID's that are not present in Table2.
Code:
SELECT Column_z
FROM dbo.Table2
DELETE FROM dbo.Table1
WHERE Column_z <> Column_x
This did not seem to do what I needed, it did not delete any rows at all.
I wanted it to delete all rows in Table1 that did not have a reference to a user ID that matched any ID's in Column_z of Table2
Then I tried another scenerio that I also needed to do:
Code:
SELECT Column_z, Column_a
FROM dbo.Table2
DELETE FROM dbo.Table1
WHERE Column_z = Column_x AND Column_a='0'
'0' being the user id is inactive so I wanted to delete rows in Table1 and remove all references to users that were in an inactive status in Table2.
Neither one of the Queries wanted to work for me in the Query Analyzer when I ran them. It just said (0) rows affected.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong here?
I am having problems with my store procedure displaying my last column name which is "DISPLAY_CATEGORY_DESC". I am trying to display the description from another table. But in order to get to the description I have to go through 2 tables. The tables look like something like this.
First TableTABLE_CATEGORY
PRIMARY_KEY = DIR_CATEGORY_ID = 5000
Column Name
DIR_CATEGORY_LVL_ID1 = 100
DIR_CATEGORY_LVL_ID2 = 200
DIR_CATEGORY_LVL_ID3 = 300
Second TableTABLE_CATEGORY_DESCRIPTION
PRIMARY KEY DIR_CATEGORY_LVL_ID1 = 100
Column Name
DESCRIPTION = "Car Model Company"
This is my DISPLAY_CATEGORY_DESC
Not sure how to get to this description. Thanks for your help.
select cwebs.SESSION_ID, webs.ENTERED_DATE, cwebs.DIR_CATEGORY_ID, DISPLAY_CATEGORY_DESC
FROM di_webclickstats cwebs
left join di_websessions webs on cwebs.session_id = webs.session_id
where cwebs.DIR_CATEGORY_ID <> 0 and webs.ENTERED_DATE between @startDate and @endDate+1

Is there a utility or function or 3rd party product that will show information about tables and other objects such as:
Last change date
Last used date
Where Used
more .....
I'm from an AS/400 environment and found it VERY useful to be able to access that kind of information to clean-up, monitor & manage the systems.
Any Ideas ?
Hi
Can someone write a query for me that would return names of tables that would slelect all tables of particular database and show if table has set primary key and if it has then if key has Identity Specification set to true?
something like:
SELECT
TABLE_NAME
,HAS_PRIMARY_KEY
,KEY_HAS_IDENTITY_SPECIFICATION
FROM
...this is where you come in
ORDER BY
TABLE_NAME
I'm beating my head up against a wall here. I have one very LARGE table called op_hist.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[op_hist] (
[op_trnbr] [int] NOT NULL ,
[op_type] [varchar] (80) ,
[op_date] [smalldatetime] NULL ,
[op_act_setup] [decimal](38, 10) NULL ,
[op_act_run] [decimal](38, 10) NULL ,
[op_qty_comp] [decimal](38, 10) NULL ,
[op_wkctr] [varchar] (80) ,
[op_part] [varchar] (30)
)
I need to be able to sum items grouped by op_wkctr and op_part and op_date. Here's my latest version which of course does not work.
SELECT op_wkctr, pcs, hrs.b
FROM
dbo.op_hist
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT op_part, SUM(op_qty_comp) as pcs
FROM dbo.op_hist
where op_type='BACKFLSH'
group by op_hist.op_part
UNION ALL
SELECT op_part, SUM(op_act_setup + op_act_run) as b
FROM dbo.op_hist
where op_type='LABOR'
group by op_hist.op_part
) AS hrs
ON op_hist.op_part = hrs.op_part
where (op_wkctr = 'P-P36' or op_wkctr = 'P-P38' or op_wkctr='P39') and op_date ='10/22/07'
Help me oby one - you're my only hope.
Sincerely,
Frustrated!
I have run into a challenge that I'm not sure how to best solve. I'dappreciate any opinions or input.I am working with a third party database. They are storing some datathat I need to use in a binary field. I've got the code to parse thebinary and reconstruct what I need. Unfortunately, there might bemultiple "entries" stored in a single binary field. a certain byte,let's just say the first, will always be the count of "entries" inthis particular SQL entry.An example:then entry might be:0x01000012341234where 12341234 is the data entry that I will parse.Another possible entry is:0x03000012341234567856789ABC9ABCThe first byte indicates that there are three data values I want toparse out:12341234567856789ABC9ABCThe portions of the binary I need are always the same length and theremay be from 1 to ~100 of them. (usually 1 if it matters.)The big question:How could a SQL query return an entry for each of the "entries" in thebinary field? For the second example I would want three entries in myresults, each row returning a different section of the binary data.For the first, only one row. I'll be querying the set and expecting toget back more results than the number of entries in the set.I haven't really tried much with this yet, (other than some mentalcalisthenics were I fell down onto the mat pretty hard), so just somedirection on where to begin would be helpful.(Yes, I understand that the difficulty is that this data shouldn't bestored this way, but there is not much I can do about that.)Thanks...James FraserJoin Bytes!

I am trying to troubleshoot deadlock issues.
The dead lock is with a RID.
Now from various links i have established that you have to use DBCC PAGE() with relevant info to get more information, i get back a object and index id, m_objid.
However i dont know how to get the tablename form here, msdn simply says that it is an allocation id not and actual table id, so how can i from here get to table information?
All i am trying to figure out is which table is affected fromt he RID dealock, but that does not seem to be a simple process.
Thanx
Does TSQL (2005) offer a way to retrieve a given table's total size (data size vs index size)? Would like to be able to get at this info using TSQL (not management studio).

Hi:
After I used "copy database" to upgrade a SQL 7 database to SQL 2000, all are fine except the TaskPad view. The table info section is blank. Though we know all tables are in the table object.
Any thought?

I am importing a csv file into a temp table (works fine), now I want to take the data in the temp table based off of the temp id compared to the id of the permanant file.
basically if the record id exists skip to the next line and so forth, I am able to import everything just fine but I cannot get the WHERE condition to acually work.
INSERT INTO TABLE2 (COL1, COL2, COL3) SELECT COL1, COL4, COL7 FROM TABLE1 WHERE table2.col1 <> table1.col1
this is what my actual code is
INSERT INTO USER_INFO (fpu_id,FIRSTNAME, LASTNAME, BOXNUMBER) SELECT id,first,last,box FROM stmailbox WHERE stmailbox.id <> dbo.USER_INFO.USERID
this is the actual error that I get.
Server: Msg 107, Level 16, State 3, Line 2
The column prefix 'USER_INFO' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query.

I used to use this code to extract coupon usage from two tables orders and coupons
select distinct o.OrderDate, p.SKU, c.CustomerID, c.CustomerLevelID, c.Email, c.FirstName, c.LastName from customer c
join dbo.Orders_ShoppingCart os with (NOLOCK) on os.CustomerID = c.CustomerID
join dbo.Product p with (NOLOCK) on p.ProductID = os.ProductID
join dbo.Orders o with (NOLOCK) on o.OrderNumber = os.OrderNumber
[code]....
Following a database upgrade the Coupon Code is no longer used. Instead there are two new SQL tables called Promotions and PromotionsUsage.. The link between the two tables are
ID in Promotions
and
PromotionID in PromotionUsage
Both are the same value. So in order to see new orders for coupon usage how would I change this line in the original SQL to retireve this?

Hi All,
Can anyone help me find out which system table/s are out there that hold SQL Server Job/Agent information?
Thanks!
I have a query that gets the tables, columns, indexes, index_columns for all tables in a data base.
But, I need to be able to select any data base on the server
and then drill down into the tables, columns, etc.
I looked at sys.databases but can't see how to relate that to the
sys.tables to extend my query.
Is there a way?
I've looked at the information_schema area and catalog views
but I don't see a solution yet.
I've just written a query that successfully brings back the data from one table based on the information from another. Basically we have been given a table of information and need to update certain fields in our user_group table with the new info.
Here is the SELECT statement
SELECT user_group.id, user_group.name, user_group.description, Consultants.description AS Expr10, user_group.btype, user_group.rootmenu,
user_group.intra_user, user_group.primary_g_id, user_group.fname, user_group.lname, user_group.ntlogon, user_group.lang_id,
user_group.[external], user_group.title, user_group.work_tel, user_group.work_fax, user_group.work_ext, user_group.mobile, user_group.sex,
user_group.add2, user_group.add3, user_group.town, user_group.county, user_group.pcode, user_group.private_flag,
[code]....
We want to update the 'description' on the user_group table with the 'description' from the 'consultants' table. To test this, we only want to write the UPDATE so that it changes the description where the name is 'Adam Froth. The UPDATE statement that we've written is
UPDATE user_group
SET user_group.description = Consultants.description
FROM user_group
INNER JOIN Consultants
ON user_group.description = consultants.description
WHERE name like 'Adam Froth%'
but it keeps erroring and saying that it could 'Not be bound'.
MSSQL noob here. Sorry guys, but I really need some help.
I have a MSSQL (2000) database and a Products Table. Now, there was three columns used for pricing that I was not able to populate on the initial usage. So I exported the table as an Excel document, and got rid of everything except the UID (unique identifier column) the Name, and the Three columns, so that the customer could take their time in filling out the information.
Ok, so These are what are common to both the MSSQL database and the Excel sheet
column uid = unique id integer
column Name = text
column eBay = number
column PriceGrabber = number
column Amazon = number
So, any idea how I can update my Products Table with this?
Please HELP!
I have one database named StudInfo. It has two tables named StudentInfo, and GradeInfo.
StudentInfo conntains 4 columns. The 1st one is StudentID (PK) int, LastName varchar(10), FirstName varchar(10), and PhoneNumber int.
GradeInfo contains 4 columns also StudentID (FK) int, GradeID varchar(10), Grade int, Date Datetime.
What I would like to know is how using a T-sql query I could make a temp table with studentID, LastName, FirstName, and then the average of all the different types under GradeID. As of right now I have been limiting the names that are put into GradeID to Homework, Daily, Test, Quiz, and Bonus. When I say average I mean the average of all Homeworks under one studentID, and all Daily under one studentID... etc. I would like the info returned for each student in studentID. Allow Nulls has been turned off.
Never assume someone knows what you are talking about.
Hi,
I have tables parent - PurchaseInvoices and child - PurchaseInvoiceDetails. I have trigger in PurchaseInvoiceDetails that would update stock qty based on Location code stored in parent table - PurchaseInvoices upon INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE.
I also set table RI to have cascade delete. I faced problem that, when I delete record in parent table, it would cascade delete child table. Trigger in child table fired and try to update stock qty. However, in this case, trigger unable to locate parent table record anymore.
How to overcome this? I can't move my stock update code to other place since I got to update stock if any changes happen to child table.
Please advice.
Hi All
Can u pls tell me How to Get the SQL Affinity Mask value in Sql 2005.
and what is the table/views name that store this info.
for SQL 2000 , we were using following query:
SQLStatement.printf("select c.value from master..sysconfigures c, master..spt_values v,"
"master..syscurconfigs r where v.type = 'C' and v.number = c.config and v.number >= 0 "
"and v.number = r.config and v.name ='affinity mask'");
lErrCode=SQLExecDirect(hStmt,(SQLCHAR*)pszSQLStatement,strlen(pszSQLStatement));
lSQLBindCol(nAffMask);
But With SQL 2005 , we are getting ZERO(0) ROWS SELECTED.

I am still new to SQL and I am having trouble obtaining the results I need from a query. I have worked on this command for some time and searched the internet but cannot seem to still get it correct.
I have a table called Patient. It's primary key is pat_id.
I have a second table called Coverage. It has no primary key. The foreign keys are pat_id, coverage_plan_id, and hosp_status.
I have a third table called Coverage_History. It has a primary key consisting of pat_id, hosp_status, copay_priority, and effective_from.
I want to get the pat_id and all the coverage information that is current. The coverage table contains specific insurance policy information. The coverage_history table will indicate the effective dates for the coverage. So the tables could contain something like this:
Patient (pat_id and lname)
P123 Monto
P124 Minto
P125 Dento
P126 Donto
Coverage (pat_id, coverage_plan_id, hosp_status, policy_num)
P123 MED1 OP A1499
P123 ACT4 OP H39B
P124 MED1 OP C90009
P124 RAC OP 99KKKK
P124 RAC OP 99KKKK
P124 MED1 OP C90009
P125 ARP OP G190
P126 BCB OP H88
Coverage_History (pat_id, hosp_status, copay_priority, effective_from, coverage_plan_id, effective_to)
P123 OP 1 20150102 MED1 NULL
P123 OP 2 20150102 ACT4 NULL
P124 OP 1 20150203 RAC 20150430
P124 OP 2 20150203 MED1 20150430
P124 OP 1 20150501 MED1 NULL
P124 OP 2 20150501 RAC NULL
P125 OP 1 20150801 ARP NULL
P126 OP 1 20150801 BCB 20160101
select p.pat_id, p.lname, ch.coverage_plan_id, ch.hosp_status, ch.effective_from, ch.effective_to, ch.copay_priority,
from patient p
left join
( coverage_history ch left join coverage c on ch.coverage_plan_id = c.coverage_plan_id and ch.patient_id = c.patient_id and
(ch.effective_to is NULL or ch.effective_to >= getdate()
)
) on ch.patient_id = p.patient_id
where ( ch.effective_to is NULL or ch.effective_to >= getdate() )
So I want to see:
P123 Monto MED1 OP 20150102 NULL 1
P123 Monto ACT4 OP 20150102 NULL 2
P124 Minto MED1 OP 20150501 NULL 1
P124 Minto RAC OP 20150501 NULL 2
P125 Dento ARP OP 20150801 NULL 1
P126 Donto BCB OP 20150801 20160101 1
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.

I have a table of approx 1/2 million rows.
On a nightly basis, this table gets rebuilt in a temporary database. Once the table has been built and scrubbed, i need to move it into our webservers db.
I'd like to do this with minimal interuption to the website.
Possible techniques:
1) I could set up a DTS package to copy the table object overwriting the destination table
2) I could export to a flat file and then bulk import into the live table (after truncating it)
3) I could run a process to update smaller chunks of data at a time running delete queries and insert queries.
Anybody have a thought on the best way to do this so that the web users would be virtually unaware that anything was happening ?
Here is the sql code I am using. However this code adds duplicate records. It adds the record and exactly one extra record... any help would be greatly appreciated...
It's wrapped in a little ASP code:
sql2 = "INSERT INTO prodcampsignup " &_

"City,State,Zip,Country,Phone,AlternatePhone,Fax,C ontactEmail,AdminEmail, " &_
"URL,CampProfile, InsertTime)" &_
"SELECT * FROM tempcampsignup WHERE Camp_ID = " & lastid
I will be moving production SQL databases (one is 25Gb, the other is 3Gb) to a new server. One of the reasons is the old server has only IDE disks while the new has raid (I don't know the configuration yet).
Database 1 has a primary and one other filegroup. I want to spread the disk I/O by moving table A to it's own filegroup on it's own disk.
For the purposes of testing I have
1. brought a database onto a test server (using sp_detach_db, copying the files and attaching using sp_attach_db)
2. created a new filegroup
3. created a physical file on disk, allocated space and associated with my new filegroup
my question is how do I now move table A into this file?
