Need Help With Update Query To Populate New Field
Oct 31, 2006
Hi folks:
I have added a new field to an established table, and am having trouble figuring out how to populate its values:
Two tables are involved: Jobs and Parts
There is a one-to-one relationship between each JobID and its PartID
Each Part has a PartPrice. Now I have added to the Jobs table a JobPrice field. Whenever a new Job is created, JobPrice takes the current value of its Part's PartPrice. Each Job's JobPrice remains constant for historical purposes, while the PartPrice may fluctuate at my client's whim.
The trouble is that the Jobs table is 10k+ records large, and I need to fill the JobPrice values. I am at a loss. I know how to commit the update one record at a time:
UPDATE Jobs
SET JobPrice = (SELECT PartPrice FROM Parts WHERE (PartID = [the part in question]))
WHERE (JobID = [the job in question])
My SQL knowledge is limited to basic statements that I use in my .NET work, and I rarely create anything in Management Studio more elaborate than what you see above. Many thanks for your time,
Matt

Guys,
New to SQL and I'm trying to create a new field, entitled “Name� and see all employee names from my "Employee" table using the following format:
LastName, FirstName, jobcode, emailaddress and hire date.
after much effort my code is as follows:
CREATE VIEW 'Name'
AS
SELECT LastName, FirstName, JobID, Email, Hiredate AS Relationship
FROM 'Name'
Create View 'Name' as Select LastName, FirstName, JobID, Email, Hiredate From EMPLOYEE
Group By LastName, FirstName, JobID, Email, Hiredate Order By LastName
But i'm still getting the following errors:
Msg 111, Level 15, State 1, Line 196
'CREATE VIEW' must be the first statement in a query batch.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 199
Incorrect syntax near 'Name'.
Msg 111, Level 15, State 1, Line 200
'CREATE VIEW' must be the first statement in a query batch.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated

I need to know who is entering data in my SQL database. I use Access Project as a front end and would like to know if it is possible to have an 'ID' field auto-populate with a user NT Login. For example, if user checks a check-box or enters data in field, I would like an ID field next to the checkbox or data field to populate with his user ID.
Any assistance is much appreciated!
Thanks.

I have 2 tables in a parent->child relationship. The primary key for the parent table is moving to a new column (that is an Identity). I'd like to relink the tables using the identity field.
Here's the structure:
Parent
refid int (Identity) - NEW PK
orderid char(9) - OLD PK
Child
orderdetailid int - PK
orderid char(9) - Old link to parent
refid int - New link to parent
I've populated refid in the parent. I just need to populate the refid column in the child. I have a VFP background. In VFP I would have looped through the child, found the matching record in the parent, then transfered the data over. I don' t have a clue how to do this in TSQL.

How would I accomplish update just a part of a field? I have 500+ records in a table that got written as \share 01234.jpg, \share 01235.jpg...\share 01734.jpg but the records should have ended with .tif instead. Now the application cannot find the correct image because the extension is incorrect. How can I use the Update statement to just change the extension on these records?
Thanks.

I am fairly new to SQL programming and would like to see if you can provide me with some direction on a small project I would like to accomplish. I have experience working with databases (mainly in with different versions of FoxPro) and reporting with Crystal reports, etc. but not much with SQL.
The project that I would like to work on has 2 SQL DBs and entails looking in a database for empty CLASSCODE fields, populate these fields from a “storage� database that contains un-used CLASSCODE codes and delete the assigned codes from the storage DB or mark them as used possibly the book code.
The main DB called books has the following relevant fields, bookid, bookname, CLASSCODE (besides a number of other fields which are irrelevant to what I need to do). The “storage DB called classcode has 3 fields, CLASSCODE, Used (single character intended to contain either a Y or NULL) and date assigned. The original idea was to put a Y in the used field and insert the date the code was assigned to a book, but this is not entirely necessary, we have 90k unused codes and it really does not matter if they are simply deleted from the DB.
My idea is to create a script to accomplish this that I can run periodically when new books have been added to the DB. I can setup the update routine (something like the list below) but what I am stuck with is trying to do the following:
Pick the first record (classcode) from the classcode DB
Go to the books DB and update it with this classcode
Go back to the classcode DB and mark the used record with a Y in the Used field
Loop though the books DB and perform the same operation until no more records exist with an empty classcode field.
I will greatly appreciate your feedback you can provide.
Mike.

record.
For example. I have a table with fields named "From" and "To" which track drill hole measurements. When I add a new record I would like it to autopopulate the "To" field with the "From" value from the previous record.
Example Recordset
Record 1, From=0, To=500, Lithcode=AB1
Record 2, From=500, To=1000, Lithcode=CR4
Record 3, From=1000<- trying to figure out how to auto populate previous record's from value here
TIA

UPDATE SCORESET QUAL_SCORE = ((SCORE - average_score)/deviation_score)*(-0.25) +((accuracy_score - accuracy_average_score)/accuracy_deviation_score)*0.25))WHERE SCORES.DISABLEMENT_ZIP = v_disablement_zipAND SCORES.EQPMNT_CODE = v_eqpmnt_code;
is it possible to use this one query to update the QUAL_SCORE field without using cursor.if SCORE and deviation_score are 0, Then (SCORE - average_score)/deviation_score)*(-0.25) is 0,if accuracy_score and accuracy_deviation_score are 0, then (accuracy_score - accuracy_average_score)/accuracy_deviation_score)*0.25 is 0.

Was wondering if there is easy anyway to autopopulate a field by pulling a value from a field in the previous record?
For example, I have a table with fields name "Dist_From" and "Dist_To". When I add a new record I would like it to populate the "Dist_From" field with the "Dist_to" value from the previous record.
TIA

Looking to write an query that will update a field for multiple items, like 1,500.
something like:
UPDATE INMAST
SET FPRICE = 111.11
WHERE
INMAST.FPARTNO = 'xxx'
only issue I'm having is a need to do a JOIN because there's one more condition that must be met from another table, i've tried this:
SET FPRICE = 111.11
JOIN INVCUR
ON
(inmast.fpartno + inmast.frev)= (invcur.fcpartno + invcur.fcpartrev)
WHERE
INMAST.FPARTNO = 'NRE'
AND
invcur.flanycur = 'TRUE'
but that is giving me an error around the JOIN

The following works just fine. The table tmpMHPCLMDET does have a column ADMTDT ( varchar(8) ).
While I am adding the sequence of numbers I like it to be sorted based on ADMTDT column.
What that means is the row with the earliest ( smallest ) ADMTDT will get 1 and the next 2 and so on.
Declare @ID int
If Exists ( Select c.name from sys.columns c where object_id = object_id('tmpMHPCLMDET') and C.name = 'ServiceLineID' )
Begin
--Adding a sequence of numbers to the ServiceLineID column.
SET @id = 0
UPDATE tmpMHPCLMDET
SET @id = ServiceLineID = @id + 1;
End;

I am working with a vendor application called Cisco Unified Attendant Console - it operates on a Windows server with a SQL express database. The CUPs function of the application needs to reference a "contact" field with only the user portion of the contact's email address - generally, the contact's User ID will match the user portion of their email address, however, for this customer it does not (they use the employee number as the User ID and firstname.lastname as user portion of the email address.
Writing a script to accomplish the following:
The dbo.Contact_Properties table of the ATTCFG database has the following fields that we can work with:
Â
- First_Name
 - Last_Name
 - Email
 - User_Field_2
 - Contact_Unique_Ref (appears to be the field that ties all other contact tables together ?)
Is it possible to create a script that could run daily to either, combine the First_Name and Last_Name fields (with a period between) and populate the User_Field_2 field for each user, or populate the User_Field_2 field with everything before the @ symbol in the Email field for each user?
Also, by default the servers that this application is installed on does not have SQL Server Management Studio installed - is it possible to accomplish with PowerShell script triggered from the Windows Scheduler?

I am making an asp.net application where by there are a setnumber of users, about 80, each one logs in and manages informationwithin their department.To get them started a manager has written 10 different hazards thatwill apply to all of the departments, and he has written consequencesand controls for the hazards. Each department must have thisinformation as each will manage and deal with them differentlyThe hazard information is stored in a main 'hazards' table, and theconsequences and controls are stored in related tables linked by the'hazardID' from the main table to a foreign key 'hazardID' in therelated tablesWhat i want to know is if there is a relatively simple way of using aquery to populate the 10 hazards to each department, and to alsoinclude the related table links, i dont mind renaming the departmentsnames to match each hazard, but i do not want to have to relink therelated tables manuallyIf anyone can give me any advice to get me started i will be incrediblygratefulthank youTable information is belowHazards------------HazardID - identity key fieldHazard - varcharDepartment - varcharConsequences----------------------ConsequenceID - identity key fieldHazardID - FKConsequence - varcharControls------------ControlID - identity key fieldHazardID - FKControl - varchardwight

If I have a table with 1 or more Nullable fields and I want to make sure that when an INSERT or UPDATE occurs and one or more of these fields are left to NULL either explicitly or implicitly is there I can set these to non-null values without interfering with the INSERT or UPDATE in as far as the other fields in the table?
EXAMPLE:
CREATE TABLE dbo.MYTABLE(
ID NUMERIC(18,0) IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
FirstName VARCHAR(50) NULL,
LastName VARCHAR(50) NULL,
[Code] ....
If an INSERT looks like any of the following what can I do to change the NULL being assigned to DateAdded to a real date, preferable the value of GetDate() at the time of the insert? I've heard of INSTEAD of Triggers but I'm not trying tto over rise the entire INSERT or update just the on (maybe 2) fields that are being left as null or explicitly set to null. The same would apply for any UPDATE where DateModified is not specified or explicitly set to NULL. I would want to change it so that DateModified is not null on any UPDATE.
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName, DateAdded)
VALUES('John','Smith',NULL)
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName)
VALUES('John','Smith')
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName, DateAdded)
SELECT FirstName, LastName, NULL
FROM MYOTHERTABLE

In Access, you have a combo with column designations for example me.combofield.column(x) and you can update another field with those column(x) values.
How do you do it in MS SQL?
I didn't mean "from a 'combo' field'" in SQL(!) I just want to reproduce the equivalent of an Access combo box.

We have the following two tables :
Link ( GroupID int , MemberID int )
Member ( MemberID int , MemberName varchar(50), GroupID varchar(255) )
The Link table contains the records showing which Member is in which Group. One particular Member can be in
multiple Groups and also a particular Group may have multiple Members.
The Member table contains the Member's ID, Member's Name, and a Group ID field (that will contains comma-separated
Groups ID, showing in which Groups the particular Member is in).
We have the Link table ready, and the Member table' with first two fields is also ready. What we have to do now is to
fill the GroupID field of the Member table, from the Link Table.
For instance,
Read all the GroupID field from the Link table against a MemberID, make a comma-separated string of the GroupID,
then update the GroupID field of the corresponding Member in the Member table.
Please help me with a sql query or procedures that will do this job. I am using SQL SERVER 2000.

Hi,
I am trying to update a field in a temptable with the count of items in another table. To illustrate, CustomerID=23 and I want the number of occurences in the temp table. Here's the code which DOESN'T work:
INSERT INTO TempTable
(
CustomerID,
FirstName,
LastName,
DateAdded,
AlbumPicture,
LayoutCount
)
SELECT
Albums.CustomerID,
Customers.FirstName,
Customers.LastName,
DateAdded,
AlbumPicture,
COUNT(*) FROM Layouts WHERE Layout.customerID = Albums.CustomerID
FROM
Albums JOIN
Customers on (Albums.CustomerID=Customers.CustomerID)
Please take a look at the COUNT line. Here I want to count the occurences of a specific customerid in another table and put in into th LayoutCount field.
SQL server reports "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'FROM'". Any ideas how to achieve this?
Many thanks!!

Hello,
I am updating three fields (defined as decimal(18,4) NULL) in
a 1.7 million record table to 0.
This table is also very wide (meaning lot of columns). A simple
query like this -
Update Table1
Set [Decimal Field1] = 0,
[Decimal Field2] = 0,
[Decimal Field3] = 0
is taking forever (1+ hours) to run.
Either I may be doing something stupid here or I am missing
something vital.

Hi,
I'm trying to use the Update command to change a field value. I only know the field name at run-time, how do you write this command. This is what I have done which just sets the variable @cFieldName to the value and not the field within the table.
UPDATE [Atable] SET @cFieldName = @aValue WHERE ([Id] = @Id_1)
Thanks
