Dear All,
I want to get more than one table columns as a single column by
alternative.
For eg,
Table name = employee
columns = empid, empname, address1,address2
Here, I want to interpolate the address2 column on address1 as
mentioned below,
empid empname address1
address2
1 aaa First Layout,
CA, US.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to add a column to a table at a particular position. The ALTER TABLE statement specifies that an ADD COLUMN puts this on the end of the table. Is there a way to insert into the middle of the table?
Alternatively, can it be done through SQL-DMO?
Obviously the fallback would be to drop and re-create the table with the correct column ordering, however this is not ideal for tables with large amounts of data.
It's possible to do this through Enterprise Manager (using Insert Column), so how does it do it - DMO, or by dropping and re-creating?
We're building a database schema upgrage tool and are trying to cover all possibilities.
Thanks,
Steve Jenkins.
There are about 500 tables in one particular datbase. There are
foreign keys set on most of the tables. I want to change the position
of the primary key column in all those tables. How can I do that
programatically?
Hi Everybody,
Is there any way to find the current position of a row in a table?. Like what we have in Oracle ROWID, Like that anything available in SQL Server.
I have seen NEWID(),uniqueidentifier & ROWGUIDCOL in BOL. Apart from that any easy method is available in SQL Server?
thanks in advance,

Hy!
I'm trying to write a query which returns only some rows in my table...
For example :
I want all the rows included between 30 and 50 from table XYZ
(30 and 50 are not keys but really the numbers of records)
Is there someone out there who has a hint for me???
Thank you for your help and sorry for my english!

Hello,
I have a report that prints cards for customers. The body of the report contains an address box, letter body, followed by a table that contains all the people to be printed on the cards. If the number exceeds 6 people, another page is to be printed, with no address or letter body, but the table with the remainder of the people on it.
I have been able to get everything to work except for the location of the table on the subsequent pages. They do not appear at the bottom as they do on the first page, but at the top of the page. I've tried using a rectangle as a container for the table, with no luck.
I seem to remember doing this in the past, but as projects get shelved for an extended period of time, the technical knowledge tends to fade.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Hi
I am having a problem in auditing the column data in tables.My requirement is i have write a trigger which is capable of auditing the columns which are going to be added in the future also with out using dynamic SQL.is there any way to do so.
I feel if i can get the column data based on ordinal position then it is possible.
Can any body suggest.
My set Up is like this
I have a base_table to be audited.
I have a Audit_spec table which contains name of the table and columns to be audited.
And Audit table which actually captures the table name,column name ,old value and new value.
I have to audit only those columns in the Audit_spec spec.
If schema changes(Like new column added) happens to base_table and I want that column to be audited.with out any changes to my trigger code i should handle the newly added column ..
Hi,
Let's say I have 1000 registered users in database table and each of them has numeric ranking value.
How can I get the position of each user in comparison to other users ranking value?
So I have been trying to get mySQL query to work for a large database that I have. I have (lets say) two tables Table_One and Table_Two. Table_One has three columns: Type, Animal and TestID and Table_Two has 2 columns Test_Name and Test_ID. Example with values is below:
**TABLE_ONE**
Type Animal TestID
-----------------------------------------
Mammal Goat 1
Fish Cod 1
Bird Chicken 1
Reptile Snake 1
Bird Crow 2
Mammal Cow 2
Bird Ostrich 3
**Table_Two**
Test_name TestID
-------------------------
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_2 2
Test_2 2
Test_3 3
In Table_One all types come under one column and the values of all Types (Mammal, Fish, Bird, Reptile) come under another column (Animals). Table_One and Two can be linked by Test_ID
I am trying to create a table such as shown below:
Test_Name Bird Reptile Mammal Fish
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Test_1 Chicken Snake Goat Cod
Test_2 Crow Cow
Test_3 Ostrich
This should be my final table. The approach I am currently using is to make multiple instances of Table_One and using joins to form this final table. So the column Bird, Reptile, Mammal and Fish all come from a different copy of Table_one.
For e.g
Select
Test_Name AS 'Test_Name',
Table_Bird.Animal AS 'Birds',
Table_Mammal.Animal AS 'Mammal',
Table_Reptile.Animal AS 'Reptile,
Table_Fish.Animal AS 'Fish'
From Table_One
[Code] .....
The problem with this query is it only works when all entries for Birds, Mammals, Reptiles and Fish have some value. If one field is empty as for Test_Two or Test_Three, it doesn't return that record. I used Or instead of And in the WHERE clause but that didn't work as well.
Hi,
I have two tables
Table Source
{
category varchar(20),
LastUpdate datetime
}
Table Destination
{
SubjectId varchar(20),
SubjectDate datetime,
category varchar(20),
LastUpdate datetime
}
Please note that the number columns are different in each table.
I wanted to dump the data of Source table to Destination table. I meant to say that the rows of 2 columns in Source table to last 2 rows of Destination table.
And also my oreder of the columns in Destination table will vary. So i need to a way to dynamically insert the data in bulk. but i will know the column names for sure before inserting.
Is there anyway to bulk insert into these columns.
Your quick response will be appreciated

I have a business need to create a report by query data from a MS SQL 2008 database and display the result to the users on a web page. The report initially has 6 columns of data and 2 out of 6 have JSON data so the users request to have those 2 JSON columns parse into 15 additional columns (first JSON column has 8 key/value pairs and the second JSON column has 7 key/value pairs). Here what I have done so far:
I found a table value function (fnSplitJson2) from this link [URL]. Using this function I can parse a column of JSON data into a table. So when I use the function above against the first column (with JSON data) in my query (with CROSS APPLY) I got the right data back the but I got 8 additional rows of each of the row in my table. The reason for this side effect is because the function returned a table of 8 row (8 key/value pairs) for each json string data that it parsed.
1. First question: How do I modify my current query (see below) so that for each row in my table i got back one row with 19 columns.
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B
If updated my query (see below) and call the function twice within the CROSS APPLY clause I got this error: "The multi-part identifier "A.ITEM6" could be be bound.
2. My second question: How to i get around this error?
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*, C.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B, fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM6,NULL) C
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 version. Windows 7 desktop.
Here is My requirement, I'm not sure if this is possible. Creating table called master like col1, col2 col3, col4 , col5 ...Where Col1, col2 are updatable - this can be done easily
Col3, col4 are columns in another table but these can be just a read only ?? Is this possible ? this is possible with View but not friendly with share point CRUD...Col 5 is a computed column of col 2 and col5 ? if above step can be done then sure this can be done I guess.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm in the process of converting legacy DTS packages to SSIS. I need to populate a table that has more fields than the source file. In DTS I did this with an ActiveX script. How do I go about doing this within SSIS.
In the ActiveX script most of the fields were defaulted with either spaces or zeroes.
One of the Destination fields needs to be incremented by 1 for each new record inserted.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I'm trying to get the position of a single value in the query results.
like this:
select * from tPerson order by ds_alias
results in
id_person | ds_name | ds_alias
15 | mark | AA
20 | john | AA
5 | mike | BB
8 | thomas | JK
2 | mike | MM
as you can see, I can have registries with the same name and with the same alias, there's no restriction
and I'm trying to find out how many registries there are before the second "mike", wich would be 3.. so it's the 4th element, get it?
I have no idea how to...
Thank in advance

Thanks!
I just created a new table with over 100 Columns and I need to populated just the first 2 columns.
The first columns to populate is an identify column that is the primary key. The second column is a foreign_key to an other column and I am trying to populate this columns with all the values from the foreign_key value. This is what I am trying to do.
column1 = ID
column2= P_CLIENT_D
SET IDENTITY_INSERT PIM1 ON
INSERT INTO PIM1 (P_CLIENT_ID)
SELECT
Client.ID
FROMP_Client
So I am trying to insert both an identity values and a value from an other table while leaving the other columns blank. How do I go about doing this.

What is a good method/mechanism to swap the position of multiplecolumns?For instance, tblXZY has the followings columns and respectivepositions:tblXZY======xyzUUID 1fn 2ln 3phone 4email 5city 6state 7....Now, I need to make city as 2 and state as 3. BTW, the tblXYZ tablehas data there. Copy/select all the data into a new table withdesired column position would require constraints re-mapping etc.,which seems quite a bit hassle.Thanks.
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi there, it has been a while since i have posted. I am in asituation where I am stumped. I am learning to build a dts packagewhere I am connecting to a table in an AS400. This database is beingmaintained by an outsourced company and therefore I can't change thetable structure or even ask them to. Anyway, this table currently hasabout 104,000 records. I am building a package to check it and pullout the most recent records and put them where they go in my SQLServer 2000 tables. The only way I can think of to get the mostrecent records is to use a global variable in the package to rememberthe record count and then get those records from that record positionon. Problem is, I have no idea how I would go about selecting recordsfrom a record position. Does anybody have any ideas or should I beusing a different approach? There are no time stamps to work from. Iwas told that the AS400 records, including updates, are appended tothe table, which is why I thought this approach made sense. I wouldtruly appreciate any help.

I am so frustrated, I don't know what to do. I have spoken to everyone that I know on how to explain this error message, but my supervisor wants to dispute every thing I tell him.
Could someone PLEASE explain the following error message and how I can go about finding what fields that it's talking about?
e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ReportProcessingException: There is no data for the field at position 15., ;
Info: Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ReportProcessingException: There is no data for the field at position 15.
I have two environments (2 seperate companies on seperate servers). In Environment #1 (referred to as Env1 from this point on) that runs the report and generates a few of these errors (10 for an example). In Environment #2, the same report only modified SLIGHTLY for the other company, runs the report and generates 50 errors. I'd be more than happy to post the log here if someone needs it.
Someone, please, save me from logfile hell. I have told this supervisor that "No data for the field" pretty much means that there was NO DATA RETURNED. We know for a FACT that these two environments are completely different. One runs on real servers and the other is running on partial real servers and virtual servers. We have identified several differences in the configurations, but he wants me to nail down EXACTLY what is causing this error. Please remember, "No Data" is not a good enough response for this person.
Please, for the love of all that is Chocolate, HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi All,
I have a parameter which populates the years. when user selects the year, i populate the start period values and end period values in two other parameters. So the the report has 3 parameters for the report.
The look and feel of the parameters is as follows:
First row : Year Parameter and Start Period Parameter .
Second row : End Period Parameter
But I want the parameter positions or look & feel as follows:
First row : Year Parameter .
Second row : Start Period Parameter & End Period Parameter.
Can anyone give a suggestion or hack or tip for my requirement.
Thanks,

Dear all,
I feel I am almost there with my current project but I am just trying to solve the last few problems here.
I was not able to have a columnized sub report within my main non columnized report as all sub reports inherit the layout of the main page (a known limitation).
However, I need to get some data into columns on my main page so I have had to hack around the issue to get the desired results.
Instead of creating one columnized subreport (which wont work in the main page) I have added two non-columnized sub reports to the main page listing the first half of the data in one subreport and the 2nd half of the data in the other subreport.
The problem is this. I need to put a total at the end of the data. And it depends how much data there is as to where the total should be (left column or right column) If there are only 10 lines of data then the first left hand sub report will display those results and the right hand sub report wont display anything. However, if there are 100 lines returned then both sub reports will display data and the total will need to be at the bottom of the right sub report.
Can I achieve this with an IIF statement? Any suggestions would be most helpful.
