Hi all,
I have a table where I want to populate it with data (certain fields) from another table. But I only want to populate the table if there is data in a certain field in the table I wish to get the data from.
How exactly would I do this test? Would an I have to perform an IF statement to test if the field contains a value first?
Thanks

I have a project that entails the following:
There are two separate SQL Server databases involved that reside on two different servers. One of the depts within our building wants to have building permit data imported from Permit Database on Server "A" to their own database on Server "B".
I dont think this will be an overly complicated process. There are only a few fields they want populated (5 or 6 tops). This will have to be ran every
weeknight via some sort of scheduled task in Windows or SQL.
I was just interested in seeing if anyone has had prior experience working on data transfer like this. I would like to know what would be the best and most efficient way to approach this.
Thanks in advance.
I have multiple web databases for storefront orders as linked servers on SQL Server 2008 R2. I need to organize the data for these orders into a structure that can be imported into my ERP application db frequently either on demand or periodically during the day. We are essentially trying to make the manual order entry process automated. My thought was to get the data into views that resemble the schema of the order table in my application db and then schedule a stored procedure with sql jobs or a load routine from within the ERP application that would insert data from the view into the order table.

Can anyone help with the proper syntax to use to populate a JavaScript array using values from an SQL database.
I tried doing the following with no results:
Dim sql,Rs1
sql = ""
sql = sql & "SELECT EmpNumber FROM EmpFile "
Set Rs1 = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
Rs1.Open sql, DecryptedText(TheFile,"ConSQL"), 3
%>
<script language="JavaScript">
EmpNumber=new Array(<%=Rs1("EmpNumber")%>);
</script>
I have a date table(A) for every day of the year from 1990-2016 including the week number.There is another table(B) that has a number, date and week number.
I would like to join these 2 tables together, in order to populate the number from table B on every day of the week (of the week number in table B).
What makes it a little more complex is that the dates in table B not always correspond with the week number in the same row. Adding to the problem are some conditions:
- Every day of the week should have a number, and it should never be 0.
- If the 1st date of all rows in table B with the corresponding week number is not the monday of the week (but for example wednesday) it should start with this number on monday.
- Thousands of rows are in table B and for some of them the date corresponds with the week and for some of them they don't
- The rows can be grouped together using the week number.
Take the following example of table B:
B:
ID Date Number WeekNo
1 21-5-2015 25 21
2 23-5-2015 30 21
In this example the dates correspond with the weeknumber, because the 21st and the 23rd of may are week 21. By joining this with the date table (A), by using for example cross apply, I would hope to get the following result;
Date Number WeekNo
18-5 25 21
19-5 25 21
20-5 25 21
21-5 25 21
22-5 25 21
23-5 30 21
24-5 30 21
The same should work if the same example had the week number 22 in every row.
Take the following example of table B:
B:
ID Date Number WeekNo
1 21-5-2015 25 22
2 23-5-2015 30 22
In this example the dates do not correspond with the weeknumber, because the 21st and the 23rd of may are week 21 and not 22. By joining this with the date table (A), I would hope to get the following result;
Date Number WeekNo
25-5 30 22
26-5 30 22
27-5 30 22
28-5 30 22
29-5 30 22
30-5 30 22
31-5 30 22
Because the last result (ordered by date) of the week number 22 is 30, the whole week shows 30 on every day.
I am sorry for asking such a broad question, but I have been working on this and from what I can gather it can be done. My problem is that much of it has gone right over my head and I am getting more confused the more I read... I'm really, really confused...
Basically, I have a dataGridView that is populated with a number of fields from Table1 (ID, NameID, Status, Phone, Notes). This works fine, BUT I would like to access Table2 and have, where ID in Table2 = NameID in Table1, it load the First Name & Last Name into the dataGridView. I am able to load the information from Table 2 like so: SELECT NameFirst + ' ' + NameLast from Table2", but I can't get both Tables to work correctly.
I would like the dataGridView to be layed out like this:
ID NameID Name (NameFirst + NameLast) Status Phone Notes
I can't for the life of me understand or get this to work (Or for that matter even understand what I am trying to do...
Also, I am using Access 2007.
I would greatly appreciate some help, and possibly some explanation in laymans terms so that I might be able to understand this. I have read a lot about this, but for whatever reason it is just soooooo over my head that I can't follow it whatsoever.
Here is the code as it stands now:
//Populate the DataGridView
string conString = @"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + Environment.CurrentDirectory + @"DB.accdb;Jet OLEDBatabase Password=MyPassword;";
// create and open the connection
OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(conString);
OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand();
command = conn.CreateCommand();
// create the DataSet
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
// run the query
command.CommandText = "SELECT ID AS [#], NameID AS [Name], Status AS [Status], Phone AS [Phone], Notes AS [Notes] FROM Table1 WHERE ID = " + textBox13.Text + ";";
OleDbDataAdapter adapter = new OleDbDataAdapter();
adapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(command);
adapter.Fill(ds);
// close the connection
conn.Close();
bindingSource1.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];
dataGridView1.DataSource = bindingSource1;
// set the size of the dataGridView Columns
this.dataGridView1.Columns[0].Width = 10;
this.dataGridView1.Columns[1].Width = 100;
this.dataGridView1.Columns[2].Width = 100;
this.dataGridView1.Columns[3].Width = 100;
this.dataGridView1.Columns[4].Width = 176;
Any help and information is greatly appreciated.

I have just started to look at SQL and have a theory question that I could apply to a test I want to run. I have some legacy data from a previous project and the database was not designed properly (in my opinion). They have ONE field to capture City and State information. All the data is formatted City, State .
Does SQL have commands that can look at data in a field, strip out info before and info after a comma and then write that to other fields?
So, I would like to normalize this to take the data in a field called CityState and parse it, trim it and then populate two new fields 1) City and 2) State.
Thanks for your help!

Table Name: EmployeeDetails
Columns: EMpID - Date - WorkedHours
For each day I get details of number of hours worked by each employee in this table.
Now my HR wants a report with such columns
empid - Week - Month - Qtr
So, week will have Sum of hours worked by employee in that week
Month will have Sum of hours worked by employee in that Month
Qtr will have Sum of hours worked by employee in that Qtr
In 2000, BCP seemed the way to go. DTS packages would also work. My question is, in 2005, what is the best choice? I seem to remember that BCP ignored all referential integrity constraints, and applying them afterwords was a royal pain. I'm not a BCP expert by any means. Running this at the command line means using the DOS prompt correct?
What is 2005's answer to this?
Hi,
I have tables like the one below for my Stage and dimension tables:
Stage Table
accountid
name
address
Dimension Table
accountkey ---- surrogate key (DW key)
accountid ---- business key (transaction's primary key)
name
address
I used slowly changing dimension to detect the changes for the records inside my Dimension table. But I had a problem when a new record exists in the stage table. The accountkey is set as the primary key and it gets its value from a different table which stores the last account key that was created. I cannot load all the changes unless i have a business key. Is there a way that i can get the "last key" from a different table in the data flow area and then supply it together with the other fields in the new output branch of the slowly changing dimension?

thanks!

But this didn't work either.

I tried coping the database manually. I tried disconnecting the database before I copy it. Below is my connection statement:

hi. i'm building a news section for some friends of mine. i list all the news items on the main page in a gridview. i've made a custom edit linkbutton that sends the user to an edit page, passing the news id as a quarystring variable. on the edit page i first check if the querystring variable contains an id at all. if not, i redirect the user to the main page. if an id is passed with the querystring, i fetch the matching news item from the database and place it in a formview control for editing.so far, so good. but what if someone types a random id in the querystring? then the formview won't show up and i'd look like a fool. :) therefore, i need some kind of check to see if the id exists in the database. if not redirect the user back to the main page... so i started thinking: i could check the databsae in a page_load procedure. if all is well, then display the news item. since the formview is automatically filled with the correct data, does that mean that i call the database two times? i mean, one for checking if the news item exists, and one for filling the formview. logically, this would be a waste of resources.help is appreciated.

Hi,
I'm using SQL Server 2005, and I would like to understand how to create and to drop a database without errors:
Infact, if I try to create a database that already exists, SQL Server throws the error "Impossible to create the database because it already exists", and if I try to drop a database that doesn't exist, SQL Server throws the error "Impossible to drop the database because it doesn't esist".
Before creating or dropping a database, I should control if it exists or not...
Is there a method to do that?
I found that such control for a table is the following one (in this case, I drop the table only if it exists):
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[Table1]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[Table1]
I tried to adapt the statement to the database case, modifying it as follows:
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[Database1]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsDatabase') = 1)
drop database [Database1]
but it didn't function (it was a blind attempt).
Can you suggest me a statement to do that?
Thank you very much
Hi
I need to create a trigger that whenever there is data found in a certain table it must execute a SSIS package. If there is a process in SSIS or a way to manipulate the process to check if there is data and then schedule the package that would also help.
What i've done:
I have an SSIS package that searches for data in a table, copies the data into a flat file and places the file onto a FTP server, which it then renames the file so that the server will accept the flat file once it's in a specific folder, after that it moves the data from the current table to a stage table and truncates the current table.
The Problem:
When there is no data in the table, it creates a 0 bytes file that it puts onto the FTP server which messes things up on that side. All i want to do is put a check on the package to see if there is data before it executes.
Any help or even the slightest bit of information would be of great help.
Kind Regards
