What I am trying to do is this. I have two tables that someone else created and now I have to fix there mess. Both tables have 3 like fields. I want to check and see if the ProjectNumber field from the Artifacts table does not find a match in the Projects table. If no match is found return the record from artifacts table.
Code:
SELECT *
FROM Artifacts INNER JOIN Project ON Artifacts.ProjectNumber = Project.ProjectNumber
WHERE Artifacts.ProjectNumber NOT IN (Project.ProjectNumber);
The next thing I have to do is insert a record of the three fields from the Artifacts table to the Projects table. Any help would be great.
I have this simple query But i want to check if the policy number appears more than once, I tried to use a count(RR.X_POLICY_NO)>1 in the where clause but i get an error, anybody have any suggestions?
Hi, Does anyone have any sugestions as to the best way to achieve the following? I want to display a list of products in a GridView. Against each product I want to place a button which will add the product to a "wish list" table. I need to be able to check that the product has not already been inserted into the wish list. Either suggested methods or links to tutorials will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I have been tasked with an interesting problem using SQL 2005. Simplified it looks like this: I have two tables both well over a million rows, totalling unrelated keys between the tables. I need to find records in table one that do not exist in table two, the twist is this, I need to find rows where the invoice number in table 1 does not exist at all in table 2 or where the invoice number exists but the timestamp associated with the invoice in table 2 is more than 10secs different than the invoice/timestamp in table 1. I'm fairly new to sql and, although I can do the really simple stuff, this one is over my head I'm afraid. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. I would also like to hear any suggestions regarding books that might give examples of sql code at around this level of difficulty. Thanks in advance for your assistance! Paul
Hi,I need to enforce that a table does not have "duplicates" for aspecific status type in the table.If the column "STATUS" = 2, then there can not be more than one rowwith a specific "ID" column.I can not use a unique key constraint because duplicate values for thiscombo of columns is valid for the status = 1.Just when the status = 2, there can not be any other rows with the sameID and status = 2.Any ideas?-Paul
We are using SQL 2005 to drive a database application. All of the tables are supposed to be owned by user1, so the full table names should be user1.table1, user1.table2, etc.
We have a situation where we have duplicate tables:
This has always been strange, but hasn't really caused many issues.
Part of the application is querying a table called "TOTALS" and the query isn't retunring any data. dbo.TOTALS is empty (since it shouldn't exist) and user.TOTALS has all of our information. Since nothing is being returned by the select query that is just being run against "TOTALS," I would assume it is actually running against dbo.TOTALS.
How can I force SQL to run
SELECT * (actually complex criteria, but * should work for this purpose) FROM TOTALS
to actually run against user1.TOTALS without changing the query since that can't be altered?
Additionally, is there an effecient way to delete all of the dbo owned tables (this database has several hundred tables)?
Dear All,I have a table with 10 billion records but there are no key on it. I cannotbuild a key on it as it is the data source.However, the data source exits the duplicated rows.I have used the DTS to transform the data into a new table and delete theduplicated rows. As there are 10 billion records, i need to divide it into 3parts and also the process lasts for 6 hours each part.I want to ask is there any other good methods to slove my problem??ThxEsther
Hello, I have a question, i loaded 2 files into SQL and the files have some cells that have the same model number. how can I merge the cells together that have the same model number and (if possible take the avarage of their cell called price) (and combine their other cell called stock) and make it into one cell. Any help would be very very apriciated. Thank you. i tryed this but it does not work SELECT Model_number FROM Products Join Where Model_number='3CM3C1670800B' I have also Tryed this, IT SHOULD work but I have an error someWhere: delete from Productsfrom part_number a join (select part_number, max(part_number) from part_number group by part_number having count(*) > 1) b on a.part_number = b.part_number and part_number < b.part_number
Is it possible in SQL to Restrict value in one table checking a value on anather tables.
Scenerio-1.
I have two table let say, Teb1 and Teb2. Teb1 has a column called- Business_type and Teb2 has a coulmn called Incorporated_date. I just need to restrict If the value of Business_type column in Teb1 is "Propritory" then Incorporated_date in Teb2 should not be blank (nulll) . Otherwise it can take null value.
Scenerio -2.[/B]
I have table called [B]SIC.
This table has a two column called SIC1 anc SIC2 . Is it possible to restrict that clumn SIC1 and SIC2 should have same values( duplicate values cannot be entered in both columns.
JAPAN Table2 I tried to get the Country for all the people in the first table. My SQL statement is: SELECT Table.Name, Table2.Country FROM Table Left Join Table1 ON Table.Rowid = Table1.Rowid Left Join Table2 ON Table1.Rowid1 = Table2.Rowid1 My final result is shown on Table2. But is it possible if I can generate the results without the duplicate Names (as shown below)?
I managed to find the 'Deleting Duplicate Records' from SQLTeam.com (thanks, by the way!!).. I managed to modify it for one of my tables (one of 14).
-- Add a new column
Alter table dbo.tblMyDocsSize add NewPK int NULL go
-- populate the new Primary Key declare @intCounter int set @intCounter = 0 update dbo.tblMyDocsSize SET @intCounter = NewPK = @intCounter + 1
-- ID the records to delete and get one primary key value also -- We'll delete all but this primary key select strComputer, strATUUser, RecCount=count(*), PktoKeep = max(NewPK) into #dupes from dbo.tblMyDocsSize group by strComputer, strATUUser having count(*) > 1 order by count(*) desc, strComputer, strATUUser
-- delete dupes except one Primary key for each dup record deletedbo.tblMyDocsSize fromdbo.tblMyDocsSize a join #dupes d ond.strComputer = a.strComputer andd.strATUUser = a.strATUUser wherea.NewPK not in (select PKtoKeep from #dupes)
-- remove the NewPK column ALTER TABLE dbo.tblMyDocsSize DROP COLUMN NewPK go
drop table #dupes
Now that I've got that figured out, I need to write the same thing to fix the other 13 tables (with different column info)- and I'll need to run this daily.
Basically I've put together some vbscript that gathers inventory data and drops it into an MSDE db (sorry - goin for 'free' stuff right now). Problem is it has to run daily so that I'm sure to capture computers that turned on at different times etc which ever-increases my database 'till I bounce off the 2GB limit of MSDE.
So the question is, what would be the best way to do this? Can I put the code into a stored procedure that I can execute each day?

I have some nightly jobs that execute stored procedure to call the tables? I want to know which table are called by these stored procedures. Is it possible? Any idea will be appreciated.
I want to be able to duplicate every single record that is inserted or updated in a particular table to another table, but not the delete. Is the best way to set-up a trigger? If so can anyone provide me with an example of how to do this? Also could you just duplicate certain columns in the row I would you have to do all columns?
I have tried joining several tables and the result displays duplicate rows of virtually every line/row. I have tried using distinct but this didn't work. I know it could because there's several columns from some of the tables named the same.
I am new with SQL and I am Oracle DBA, trying to learn SQL. Any way, in SQL, is there a view or tables that you can run to pull out a list of the databases inside an instance? I don't want to use the GUI though.
How can I delete duplicate entries from tables in my database using Query Analyzer, as there are many duplicate entries in my tables, I want to delete them.
Im trying to delete duplicate records from the output of the query below, if they also meet certain conditions ie 'different address type' then I would merge the records. From the following query how do I go about achieving one and/or the other from either the output, or as an extension of the query itself?
It seems that there should be a solution for my situation, but for the life of me I can't seem to figure it out.
I need to compare two "like" tables, containing similar data. Tbl 1 is "BOOKED" (which is a snapshot of inventory) and tbl 2 is "CURRENT" (the live - working inventory table). If I write my query as follows the the subsequent result is "duplicate" data.
Code Block SELECT booked.item, booked.bin, booked.quantity, current.bin, current.quantity FROM BOOKED LEFT JOIN CURRENT ON booked.item = current.item
No matter what type of join I use, there is duplicate data displayed for each table. For example, if there are more bins in the BOOKED table that contain a certain product then the CURRENT table will repeat data and vica versa.
As follows:
Item Bin Quantity Bin Quantity
12345 A01 500 A01 7680
12345 B01 6 A01 7680
12345 C01 20 A01 7680
54321 G10 1032 E15 1163
54321 G10 1032 F20 523
54321 G10 1032 H30 750
98765 Z20 7000 Z20 8500
98765 Y15 2500 Y15 3000
98765 X10 1200 Y15 3000
What I would like to do is display Bin and Quantity only once and the repeating values as NULL or [BLANK]. Or, to display all of the bins from both tables and only the quantities from each table in relation to the bin found in that table, returning a "0" if no quantity exists.
This is what I'm after:
Item Bin Quantity Bin Quantity
12345 A01 500 A01 7680
12345 B01 6 B01 0
12345 C01 20 C01 0
54321 G10 1032 E15 1163
54321 F20 0 F20 523
54321 H30 0 H30 750
98765 Z20 7000 Z20 8500
98765 Y15 2500 Y15 3000
98765 X10 1200 X10 0
Is this possible? If so, how?
I also might add that it is ok for each table to contain multiple entries for any given item. This is basically being requested as an inventory variance report - inventory before physical count and immediatly after physical count - and will only be run once a year.
----------------------------------------------- Just thinking out loud here: What if I created three subqueries, the first containing only BOOKED information, the second containing only CURRENT information and the third being a UNION of both tables? Something like this:
Code Block SELECT q3.bin, q1.item, ISNULL(q1.quantity, 0) as QTY_BEFORE, ISNULL(q2.quantity, 0) as QTY_AFTER
FROM
(select item, bin, quantity from BOOKED)q1 Left Join
(select item, bin, quantity from CURRENT)q2 on q1.item = q2.item Left Join
(select bin, item from BOOKED UNION CURRENT)q3 on q1.item = q3.item
Order By q1.item
I don't know if I wrote the UNION statement correctly, but I will have to try this when I get back to work...
Hi,DDLs and DMLs:create table #job (jobID int identity(1,1) primary key, jobNamevarchar(25) unique not null, jobEndDate dateTime, jobComplete bitdefault(0), check (([JobEndDate] is null and [JobComplete] = 0) OR([JobEndDate] is not null and [JobComplete] = 1)));Q1 with check constraint:sample dagtainsert into #job (jobName)values('first job');transaction Aupdate #jobset jobEndDate = '12/19/2003', JOBCOMPLETE=1where jobID = 3;RESULTSET/STATUS = Successupdate #jobset jobEndDate = NULL, JOBCOMPLETE=0where jobID = 3;RESULTSET/STATUS = Successtransaction Cupdate #jobset jobEndDate = '12/19/2003'where jobID = 3;RESULTSET/STATUS = Failurehow come check constraint can't set a value which is preset in thecheck constraint? If it's the way how it works with MS SQL Server2000, well, IMHO, it's limiting because the above transaction C is avalid one. Or maybe check constraint is not fit for this purpose?Maybe, it doesn't make much sense for me to go into Q2 but I'll try-- create job's child table, taskcreate table #task (taskID int identity(1,1) primary key, taskNamevarchar(25) unique not null, taskEndDate dateTime, taskComplete bitdefault(0), jobID int not null references #job (jobID));-- skip check constraint for taskEndDate and taskComplete for nowNow, the Business Rule says,1) if all tasks are complete then automatically set jobComplete forthe #job table to yes;2) the jobEndDate in the #job table must be >= the last/MaxtaskEndDateI tend to think trigger would slow down data update quite a bit, so,try to stay away for this purpose if possible.Always appreciate your idea.
I want to check that no inserts are occurring in 5 tables that are depending on each other and then drop and create those 5 tables. I have scripts to drop and recreate the tables. How do I check that no inserts are happening in these 5 tables?

We have the below query which is pulling in Sales and Revenue information. Since the sale is recorded in just one month and the revenue is recorded each month, we need to have the results of this query to only list the Sales amount once, but still have all the other revenue amounts listed for each month. In this example, the sale is record in year 2014 and month 10, but there are revenues in every month as well for the rest of 2014 and the start of 2015 but we only want to the sales amount to appear once on this results set.
I'm kinda embarrased, it's been quite awhile since I've played with SQL or Access but here's my brain fart. I need to open an access DB by the name of eHomes. Inside there are two tables AD_IMAGE & PROPERTY. Property is the main table and stores most of the info. It has a field in it called AD_ID and others except for the image file name. The AD_IMAGE table just keeps the image file name and has 3 fields: ID - AD_ID - & Image1. The problem is when the ad is deleted from the property table the AD_IMAGE table record referring to the PROPERTY.AD_ID doen't get deleted. So, I just want the AD_IMAGE table cleaned up to match what's active in the PROPERTY table using the common AD_ID fields in both tables.
I'm looking for the correct syntax to pull back duplicate vendors based on 6 fields from two different tables. I want to actually see the duplicate vendor information (not just a count). I am able to pull this for one of the tables, something like below:
select * from VendTable1 a join ( select firstname, lastname from VendTable1 group by firstname, lastname having count(*) > 1 ) b on a.firstname = b.firstname and a.lastname = b.lastname
I'm running into issues when trying to add the other table with the 4 other fields.
