I have two tables that I have to compare:
Code:
Table:PR
WBS1 WBS2 WBS3
123-456 1000 01
123-456 1000 02
123-456 2000 02
567-890 2000 01
567-890 2000 02
Table:PR_Template
WBS2 WBS3
1000 00
1000 01
1000 02
2000 00
2000 01
2000 02
After Insert I should have:
wbs1 wbs2 wbs3
123-456 1000 00
123-456 1000 01
123-456 1000 02
123-456 2000 00
123-456 2000 01
123-456 2000 02
567-890 1000 00
567-890 1000 01
567-890 1000 02
567-890 2000 00
567-890 2000 01
567-890 2000 02
Basically, I need to insert the wbs2 and wbs3 where it does not exist in each wbs1.
What I have now will find the values that need to be inserted for a particular project but I don't know how to go through each project and perform the insert:
Select * from PR_template Where Not Exists
(Select Wbs1, Wbs2, Wbs3 from PR where PR.WBS2 = PR_Template.WBS2
And PR.WBS3 = PR_Template.Wbs3 and pr.wbs1 = '123-456')
Order by wbs2, wbs3 asc
Thank You
Hello folks,
I am new to msSQL and ASP, I need some help writing an SQL statement that will first check to see if a combination or record exists, if none found thant it will add it. I am working a section of a site that adds favorites to the database. Each user can have more that one favorite hence it has to check for that unique combination of the fields, UserID and FavID
My Code:
Dim objConnection, objRecordset, strSQL
Dim strFavID, strUserID
strFavID = request.Form("favid")
strUserID = request.Form("userid")
Set objConnection = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set objRecordset = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
objConnection.Open Application("ConnectionString")
strSQL = "INSERT INTO FAV (UserID,FavID) (SELECT DISTINCT " & strUserID & " AS UserID " & _
strFavID & " AS FavID" & " FROM FAV)" & _
" WHERE " & strUserID & " & " & strFavID & " NOT IN (SELECT UserID, FavID FROM FAV)"
response.Write(strSQL)
'response.End()
If strFavID <> "" Then
On Error Resume Next
objConnection.Execute(strSQL)
objConnection.Close
Set objConnection = Nothing
End If
This code is giving me a syntax error, how do I write the correct statement. I am using MS Access 2k
Thanks for your help
/*if key values exist don't insert new record*/
SELECT

CASE

INSERT INTO tblScores

WHERE gtStudentId = @nStudent AND assignmentId = @nAssignment
tblScores has two fields comprising its primary key (gtStudentId, assignmentId) and the gradeId field is a required filed in this table.
I'm getting syntax errors when I click check syntax (near keywords insert from and end).
one other note: this CASE END is nested inside a BEGIN END loop, is this the problem? Is the 'End" of the 'Case' closing the 'End' of the 'Begin'?

Hello,
it's me again :)
I've got a - what I think - simple question.
There is table A with Col1,Col2,Col3 and Table B with Col1,Col2,Col3
I want all rows from B in A. If a row already exist in A, then update all columns, else just insert the row.
Can someone please help me with a small syntax.
Thank you!
I am using the following code to insert records into a destination tablethat has a three column primary key i.e. (PupilID, TermID &SubjectGroup). The source table records all the pupils in a school with(amongst other things) a column (about 50) for each subject the pupilmight potentially sit. In these columns are recorded the study groupthat they belong to for those subjects. The destination table holds arecord per pupil per subject per term, against which the teacher willultimately record the pupils performance.The code as shown runs perfectly until the operator tries to insert aselection of records that include some that already exist. What I wouldlike it to do is, record those, which do not exist and discard theremainder. However, whenever a single duplicate occurs SQL rejects thewhole batch. I know that my solution will probably involve using the‘NOT EXISTS’ expression, but try as I might I cannot get it to work. Tofurther complicate things, the code is being run from within VBA usingthe RunSQL command.The variables ‘strFieldName’, ‘strGroup’ & ‘strTerm are declared at thestart of the procedure and originate from options selected on an Accessform.INSERT INTO dbo.yInterimReportData (PupilID, LastName, FirstName,TermID, SubjectGroup) SELECT PupilID, LastName, FirstName," & "'" &strTerm & "'" & "," & "'" & strGroup & "'" & "FROM dbo.Pupils WHERE (" &strFieldName & " = " & "'" & strGroup & "')Any Ideas?RegardsColin*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

Hi,
I have a 'Products' table (with: 'uid' and 'CatName' columns) and 'ProductCategory' table (with: 'uid', 'ProductID', 'CategoryID' columns).
I got stored procedure below to update or insert new row to 'ProductCategory' table whenever 'Products' table has been updated or new products has been added to it.
Update part works just fine but when new row has been added to 'Products' this storedProc dosn't insert it into 'ProductCategory' table, it does that only when 'ProductCategory' table is empty, I'm afraid it's because first column 'uid' in 'ProductCategory' table is an Identity column... I’m not sure how should I go about that problem. This is my stored procedure:
DECLARE @CatNo INT, @CatName varchar(10)
SET @CatNo = 2
SET @CatName = 'bracket'
IF exists (SELECT ProductID from ProductCategory, Products where ProductCategory.ProductID = Products.uid and Products.CatName = @CatName )
BEGIN
UPDATE ProductCategory SET CategoryID = @CatNo
FROM Products WHERE Products.CatName = @CatName and ProductCategory.ProductID = Products.uid
END
ELSE
BEGIN
INSERT INTO ProductCategory ( ProductID, CategoryID)
SELECT uid, @CatNo FROM Products
WHERE Products.CatName = @CatName
END
SET @CatNo = 3
SET @CatName = 'cable'
IF exists (SELECT ProductID from ProductCategory, Products where ProductCategory.ProductID = Products.uid and Products.CatName = @CatName )
BEGIN
UPDATE ProductCategory SET CategoryID = @CatNo
FROM Products WHERE Products.CatName = @CatName and ProductCategory.ProductID = Products.uid
END
ELSE
BEGIN
INSERT INTO ProductCategory ( ProductID, CategoryID)
SELECT uid, @CatNo FROM Products
WHERE Products.CatName = @CatName
END
(... Goes for another 37 categories)
Thank you for help.

Hi @ all
I'm using MSSQL and PHP.
I've got the following sql statement:
$msquery = IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT SerienNr FROM tbl_Auftrag a WHERE a.SerienNr='PC8') INSERT INTO tbl_Auftrag (BMS_AuftragsNr, SerienNr, AuftraggNr, Zieltermin, Kd_Name) VALUES ('455476567','PC8','1','2006-3-2','Fritz')
The Statement itself works fine, but i've got a problem getting a return value whether the insert has succeed, or not. :confused:
mssql_query() always returns true if there occured no error in the statement. But i need to know if the insert procedded or not.
I tried:
$result = mssql_query($msquery);
$succeed = mssql_rows_affected ($result);
And:
$result = mssql_query($msquery);
$succeed = mssql_num_rows($result);
to get the rows, affected by the statement, but both return:
supplied argument is not a valid MS SQL-Link resource
Anyone an idea?
In MS Access I can do in one SQL statement a update if exists else ainsert.Assuming my source staging table is called - SOURCE and my targettable is called - DEST and both of them have the same structure asfollowsKeycolumns==========MaterialCustomerYearNonKeyColumns=============SalesIn Access I can do a update if the record exists else do a insert inone update SQL statement as follows:UPDATE DEST SET DEST.SALES = SOURCE.SALESfrom DEST RIGHT OUTER JOIN SOURCEON (DEST.MATERIAL = SOURCE.MATERIAL ANDDEST.CUSTOMER = SOURCE.CUSTOMER ANDDEST.YEAR = SOURCE.YEAR)This query will add a record in SOURCE into DEST if that record doesnot exist in DEST else it does a update. This query however does notwork on SQL 2000Am I missing something please share your views how I can do this inSQL 2000.ThanksKaren

Please let me know how can i fix it.

I am checking to see if the source record is available in the target table using a lookup transformation and if not found i have to insert this record.
I have connected the error flow of the lookup transformation to the target. I am acheiving expected results, but is this the best practise? I have not connected to the green arrow to any task.
Is there a way to structure a query to update an existing table record if it already exists, otherwise insert a new record into that table?

Hi,
Here is the steps I should take...
1- Check for the log table and find run status ( there is a date field which tells the day run)
2- Lets say last day was 2008-05-15, So I have to check A1.DDDDMMYYY file exists in the folder for each
day like A1.20080516,A1.20080517 and A1.20060518 ( until today)
3- if A1.20080516 text file exist then I have to move it to the table and same thing for other dates
like if A1.20080517 exists I have to load it to table and so on
it looks like for each loop, first I have to get the last date and then I have to check the file exists for each date and
if the date file exists then I have to load it into table...
Please tell me How can I do it. it looks complex looping...
thanks,

I have an address table, and a log table will only record changes in it. So we wrote a after udpate trigger for it. In our case the trigger only need to record historical changes into the log table. so it only needs to be an after update trigger.The trigger works fine until a day we found out there are same addresses exist in the log table for the same student. so below is what I modified the trigger to. I tested, it seems working OK. Also would like to know do I need to use if not exists statement, or just use in the where not exists like what I did in the following code:
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[trg_stuPropertyAddressChangeLog] ON [dbo].[stuPropertyAddress]
FOR UPDATE
AS
DECLARE @rc AS INT ;
[code]....
Thanks for your time:
Background: After Insert Trigger runs a sproc that inserts values into another table IF items on the form were
populated. THose all work great, but last scenario wont work: Creating a row insert based on Checking that all 22 other items from the prior insert (values of i.columns) were NULL:
IF EXISTS(select DISTINCT i.notes, i.M_Prior, i.M_Worksheet, ...
from inserted i
WHERE i.notes IS NOT NULL AND i.M_Prior = NULL AND i.M_Worksheet = NULL AND...)
BEGIN
Insert into dbo.Items2Fix ...
From inserted i
END
I need to find out if a Transaction ID exists in Table A that does not exist in Table B. Â If that is the case, then I need to insert into Table B all of the Transaction IDs and Descriptions that are not already in. Seems to me this would involve If Not Exists and then an insert into Table B. Â This would work easily if there were only one row. Â What is the best way to handle it if there are a bunch of rows? Â Should there be some type of looping?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have to update a field within a table of 60 records or so. Each record has a different field value. it's type varchar. i was given an excel file with the field values and was thinking of a bulk update like bulk insert, but i don't recall that it's possible that way.
Is the only way to create a table, bulk insert, then merge the two tables together with UPDATE?
Just wanted to see if there was an easier way to do it, otherwise i'll take the latter route. Thanks!
I am getting info from one table, CalibrationReview, that is not inanother table, tblEquipments.
SELECT EquipmentNumber, Model, SerialNumber, Make, CalLabName, CalDateFROM CalibrationReviewWHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT AssignedID FROM tblEquipments WHERE AssignedID = CalibrationReview.EquipmentNumber)
Now, I need to take these rows and INSERT them into tblEquipments,but with some conditions.
tblEquipments has some contraints, so, the following needs to be done:
Using dbo.CalibrationReview.EquipmentNumber, get CalibrationMaster.TestTechnology where dbo.CalibrationReview.EquipmentNumber = dbo.CalibrationMaster.EquipmentID
Then take CalibrationMaster.TestTechnology and read tblTestTechnology.testTechnology and get tblTestTechnology.id
So,
tblEquipments.testTechnology = tblTestTechnology.id OR 1 if not foundWHERE dbo.CalibrationReview.EquipmentNumber = dbo.CalibrationMaster.EquipmentID and CalibrationMaster.TestTechnology = tblTestTechnology.testTechnology
And similar for CalibrationReview.CalLabName.
tblEquipments.calLab = tblLabs.ID where tblLabs.LabName = CalibrationReview.CalLabName
I hope this is clear as I can write this in code behind, but it'smuch better using sql simply because it's faster and only needs tobe run once.
Inheriting databases and combining all of them to develop a large.Net management system is fun, huh?
Thanks for any input,

Hi,
This is on Sybase but I'm guessing that the same situation would happen on SQL Server. (Please confirm if you know).
I'm looking at these new databases and I'm seeing code similar to this all over the place:
if not exists (select 1 from dbo.t1 where f1 = @p1)
begin
select @errno = @errno | 1
end
There's a unique clustered in dex on t1.f1.
The execution plan shows this for this statement:
FROM TABLE
dbo.t1
EXISTS TABLE : nested iteration.
Table Scan.
Forward scan.
Positioning at start of table.
It's not using my index!!!!!
It seems to be the case with EXISTS statements. Can anybody confirm?
I also hinted to use the index but it still didn't use it.
If the existence check really doesn't use the index, what's a good code alternative to this check?
I did this and it's working great but I wonder if there's a better alternative. I don't really like doing the SET ROWCOUNT 1 and then SET ROWCOUNT 0 thing. SELECT TOP 1 won't work on Sybase, :-(.
SET ROWCOUNT 1
SELECT @cnt = (SELECT 1 FROM dbo.t1 (index ix01)
WHERE f1 = @p1
)
SET ROWCOUNT 0
Appreciate your help.

ok i have 2 tables---one table is name CourseInformation with a field named Instructor and the data in there looks like this 'John Doe'.
My other table Instructors has 3 fields InstructorName, LastName, FirstName.
I am grabbing the Instructor field from CourseInformation and breaking up the names and inserting them into my instructors table as follows..
Insert into Instructors(InstructorName, LastName, FirstName)
(Select Distinct
ltrim(SUBSTRING(Instructor,CHARINDEX(' ',Instructor)+1,len(Instructor)))+', '+
SUBSTRING(Instructor,1,CHARINDEX(' ',Instructor)-1),
ltrim(SUBSTRING(Instructor,CHARINDEX(' ',Instructor)+1,len(Instructor))) as LName,
SUBSTRING(Instructor,1,CHARINDEX(' ',Instructor)-1) as FNamefrom CourseInformation
where NOT EXISTS(Select * from instructors where LastName = LName and FirstName = FName)
AND Instructor is not null)
Only problem is, I cant get the where not exists clause to work right(of course that wont work what i have cuz the LName and FName columns dont exist, i just did that for demo purposes). I dont want duplicate instructors in there..how can i accomplish this..is there a better way to rewrite my query? Any help is appreciated.
HI All,Which is best among the two 1) NOT IN or 2) NOT EXISTS .If the query is Select col1 from tab1 where col2 NOT IN (Select col 3 from tab2 where cl3=0) OR Select col1 from tab1 where col2 NOT EXISTS (Select col 3 from tab2 where cl3=0)

UserID AcctID Level1 level2
test testee N Y
the SP have to get the first string of data and check if the Acctid exists or not. If yes then update else insert.Then get then the second string of data and check if the Acctid exists or not. If yes then update else insert.
After checking all the strings ,
it have to check if any Acctids other than acctid mentioned in the string exists in the table for that login, then delete those rows
I'm trying to perform an insert query on a table, but I also want to check to see if the record exists already in the table. It should be fairly simple, but I'm having a time of it. Should be something like:
select * from users u

where not u.emailaddress not exists <<< (???)
If it does exist, I then want to retrieve two columns from it. HELP!!
