I have a rather complex query (to me at least) that I need to create but I am unsure of where to start. The query requires me to copy existing data into a new row (which will then create a new ID) as well as update all existing records with the newly created id. More specifically, I need to separate the data associated with LocationID 219 from it's parent, CompanyID 992.
Ideally I want to copy the data associated with LocationId 219 and then make a new CompanyId with the copied data (which will also create a new LocationID). Since this new record is no longer going to be associated with CompanyID 992 I will want to remove/delete/drop it from that record.
Finally, and perhaps most difficult of all, I need to update all tables that reference the old ID's together (992 / 219) to reflect the newly created Company ID and Location ID.
I need to copy all the data from all the tables in a database to a copy of this database on another server. What feature of SSIS should I take advantage of to accomplish this?
We have an SLA for 8am, most times the data warehousing jobs complete at 8:05am. Adding an additional process/set of tasks to this package would obviously make matters so I'm trying to update/copy/replicate the data in the fastest manner. Typically we're talking 2 marts (10-20GB) with 2 large tables (5-10 mill records) and 20 marts (0.5 - 5 GB) with many more smaller tables (~40 tables with record count ranging from 1 to a million)
Additionally please indicate if the design/feature you suggest can handle (pushing schema changes and additions to the target server) schema changes or new tablesviews added to the source database.
My only idea so far...is using the import wizard (in Management Studio) to create an SSIS package (top copy all the tables from one server to another) and saving it to the server, Then executing this package after the job is complete. However this would not work if the schema of a table changed, or if a a table is added. Moreover I don't think I can edit this package in visual studio.
I am working with a SQL database that was migrated from MS Access and adapted for full-text search which involved creating a new table with a different design. I would like to copy three columns (YearGiven, MonthGiven, DayGiven) from the Documents table to the newly-created FullDocuments table so that I can delete the Documents table and four other tables with redundant data. Here are the two tables involved in the column copy:
FullDocuments Table FullDocID (Primary Key) DocNo SequenceNo SectionText YearGiven (empty €“ no data) MonthGiven (empty €“ no data) DayGiven (empty €“ no data)
After the copy column procedure I want the FullDocuments table structure to look like this:
FullDocuments Table FullDocID (Primary Key) DocNo SequenceNo SectionText YearGiven (full of transferred data) MonthGiven (full of transferred data) DayGiven (full of transferred data)
The problem is that the FullDocuments table contains approximately 4x as many rows as the Documents table. This is because each document has four types €“ the primary Text document and three supplemental documents (Background, Report, and Index). Whereas the Documents table has one row for each Document, the Full Documents table has four rows per document (the four document types). Instead of simply doing a copy and paste of columns based on a primary key and foreign key relationship (as described in the MSDN online books), I need to copy and paste based on the DocNo and SequenceNo columns. Thus the same date data (Year, Month, Day) will need to occupy four consecutive rows for each document in the FullDocuments table (as is now the case with the DocNo and SequenceNo).
I will end up with one table that meets the requirements for the full-text search (primary key and all the text to be searched) and eliminate five tables (Documents and the four document type text tables). This is a static database consisting of historical records so I am not concerned about input errors that can be associated with denormalization.
I tried exporting the data using the Export Wizard using the €śCopy data from one or more tables€? option. The transfer failed. The most relevant lines of the Error Report are:
·Error 0xc0202009: Data Flow Task: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available.

·Error 0xc0047021: Data Flow Task: Thread "WorkThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0202009. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard) I then tried the €śWrite a query to specify the data to transfer€? option focusing on just the YearGiven column using various FETCH, INSERT AND UPDATE commands without any luck. Questions:
1. Is the query approach the best way to achieve my objective, or did I miss something in the €śCopy data€? option in the Export Wizard?
2. If the query approach is the best way, any suggestions on what the query will look like?
Not receiving any errors. The update runs perfectly on all fields, except for the added parameter during the sub.

Here is the DDL of a table that I am trying to add an identity column and create a clustered index. I am using SQL 2012 SE
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[IPF]( [IPFId] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL, [IPId] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL, [FId] [uniqueidentifier] NULL, [FName] [nvarchar](50) NULL, [FItemId] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[code]....
The table currently has 220million rows. I am trying to add a new identity new column and create a clustered index on it. I ran the script and its been more than 26hrs and its still running. I ensured there is no blocking.
I seem to having a really hard time when making schema changes. Adding a new fact table, renaming a dimension column, adding a new measure or renaming an existing one. Somehow these things tend to cause problems at one or more stages - either running the schema wizard or processing the cube.So I ask, what is your overall strategy for adding or updating new schema updates into your DB with regards to the SSAS project?
Another way to ask this - is how often do you find yourself deleting the the DSV and / or the whole cube and starting over because some schema change lead to a cascade of issues that just didnt seem to want to let you correct them?
Nice easy one (hopefully) from a newbie on SQL 2000.
I have a table HolidayTakenBooked which is populated from a stored procedure via the following statement;
TRUNCATE TABLE HolidayTakenBooked INSERT INTO HolidayTakenBooked SELECT * FROM #TMP_HolidayTakenBooked ORDER BY ABR_Clock_No
I am finding that for certain values in the HolidayTakenBooked table decimals are not being transferred correctly. ie. 0.5 in the TMP table appears as 1 in the HolidayTakenBooked table.
I'm pretty sure that this is down to the data definition of the table see sample field below; [HOL_DaysTaken1] [decimal](18, 0) NULL ,
So the simple question here is how do I define decimal places when I define a new table. When designing a new table in Enterprise Manager I select decimal and the server does not allow me to change the value of 9 it defaults to.
I have a problem setting the default value of a column. I am trying to set it to
(CONVERT([float],getdate()+(2),0))
However, SQL Server automatically sets it to
(CONVERT([float],getdate()+(2),(0)))
While it functionally does not change anything, we have a tool which compares the database schema against a pre-existing schema and shows this as an error.I have tried setting the value directly and through scripts but it does not work either way.
I have come up with one scenarios where I have three table like Product, Services and Subscription. I have to create one table say Bundle where I can have some of the product id , service id and Subscription id , i.e. a bundle may contains sum prduct , services and subscription . How I can design these relations ?
If on the source I have a new column, the script generated by SqlPackage.exe recreates the table on the background with moving the data into a temp storage. If the table is big, such approach can cause issues.
Example of the script is below: in the source project I added columns [MyColumn_LINE_1]  and [MyColumn_LINE_5].
Is there any way I can make it generating an alter statement instead?
BEGIN TRANSACTION; SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE; SET XACT_ABORT ON; CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tmp_ms_xx_MyTable] ( [MyColumn_TYPE_CODE] CHAR (3) NOT NULL,
[Code] ....
The same script is generated regardless the table having data or not, having a clustered or nonclustered PK.
Ok, I'm doing a football database for fixtures and stuff. The problem I am having is that in a fixture, there is both a home, and an away team. The tables as a result are something like this:
It's not exactly like that, but you get the point. The question is, can I do a fixture query which results in one record per fixture, showing both teams details. The first in a hometeam field and the second in an away team field.
Fixture contains the details about the fixture like date and fixture id and has it been played
Team contains team info like team id, name, associated graphic
TeamFixture is the table which links the fixture to it's home and away team.
TeamFixture exists to prevent a many to many type relationship.
Make sense? Sorry if this turns out to be really easy, just can't get my head around it at the mo!
Hi, I wanted to know a query in sql that would copy a whole table from one database to another database with both the structure and the content. strangely, my college professor don't know the same. I tried looking in the help menu in sql but it didn't helping me much. Help me out...!! I have a deadline to meet. I really would appreciate it. thanxs. --vijay.
I know this is no problem for anyone who has ever done a bit of programming in SQL, but for me it is a problem because I'm rather new in SQL. My question is: how to copy column in the same table in query? I need move one column to another and then to delete the first column (but not the whole column, just one part so I can't use Copy - Paste in Enterprise Manager). I know how to select the part that I want, all I need now is to copy columns.
However, as you can see, the original select query is run twice and joined together.What I was hoping for is this to be done in the original query without the need to duplicate the original query.
For each customer, I want to add all of their telephone numbers to a different column. That is, multiple columns (depending on the number of telephone numbers) for each customer/row. How can I achieve that?
I want my output to be
CUSTOMER ID, FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, TEL1, TEL2, TEL3, ... etc
Each 'Tel' will relate to a one or more records in the PHONES table that is linked back to the customer.
Can I update a select query using sql server 2000? What I mean is, I want to use a query instead of table or a view.
eg update (select * from tablename) set field='value'
something of this sort. I tried doing some r&d but it didn't work. I want it as single query. If some one knows it please let me know. It is very urgent.
I am running a query that returns transactions that were done at a given point.I am using the"connections" part of Excel.I have created a workbook connection
Connection type : OLE DB Quert Command Type: SQL Command Text:
Select t.SP_ID AS Salesperson ,sum(CASE t.Transaction_Date WHEN '01/05/2012' THEN (abs(t.Transaction_Units) * t.Transaction_Price etc
It runs finds and returns my data into a table in Excel.However, I need to manually update the relevant date in the Command Text.Is there a way that the connection automatically updates the date. as indicated in a cell in Excel, or maybe t-1 given that the file updates automatically every time I open?
First of all I don't normally use SQL, so please excuse my ignorance.1st QueryWe have a table with a column with data that looks like this:AMTL03256636What I need to do is change the AMTL portion of the column to another set ofcharachters i.e TESTCurrently i'm extracting the data, loading it into excel changing the dataand then bulk inserting it backinto the SQL7 table.

I'm using SQL Server 2005. Is it possible to update two tables in a single update query by comparing rows in two tables?
Something like this: UPDATE h SET CheckAmount =c.[amount1], c.Updated = 'YES' FROM tblCheckNumber as c INNER JOIN tblHistory as h ON c.Autonumber = h.AutoNumber WHERE (h.CheckAmount Is Null Or h.CheckAmount=0) AND h.CheckNumber Is Null AND h.CheckDate Is Null AND h.AccountNumber Is Null;

I'm trying to create a script that updates a field in a table, based on data in another table. It should be simple, but I'm doing something wrong. Here's the code:
USE DBMyDatabase
UPDATE TblToBeUpdated SET IDField=TblOther.IDNew WHERE IDField=TblOther.IDOld
SELECT Pk, IDField FROM TblToBeUpdated
What am I doing wrong? The error code I get is:
Server: Msg 107, Level 16, State 3, Line 1 The column prefix 'TblOther' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query. Server: Msg 107, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The column prefix 'TblOther' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query.
sql = sql & ",-1*CDbl(funds.fundamount),0)) AS outgo" sql = sql & " FROM funds " sql = sql & "GROUP BY funds.itemdisc"
What I am doing here is collecting the columns and using status as credit or debt, if its debt I am subtracting from outgo if it is credit I am adding to credit. This also will only select records so that there are not any double listings. Here is an example.
DB desc status fundamount bill debt 10.00 bill debt 15.00 in credit 10.00 bills debt 5.00 in credit 5.00 paper debt 5.00
When I do the query I should have this
desc fundamount bill -25.00 bills - 5.00 paper - 5.00 in 15.00
I am new to SQL and have an issue I can not figure out. I have a query with several JOINS, but know my boss is asking for me to add an entire table to my query to view results. Is it possible to add a table to a query with joins? I have tried subquery but I get an EXIST error message. The only way I was able to get the information was join the table and enter every single column to my query. I hope there is an easier and more efficent way of doing this.
I have a pretty simple SQL query that has two columns that contains only numbers. Is there a way i can add an extra column that simply subtracts the number in one column from number in the other column.I query the data tables rather than have a live link so the .csv file gets overwritten every time i run the query.
Hello, I am trying to achieve a query results with not much luck. I am struggling the query design of how to construct to get the right results. My table has the following data RoomID Subject StartDate Duration(min) EndDate 201 test 28/09/2007 07:00:00 180 28/09/2007 10:00:00 202 test 28/09/2007 09:00:00 240 28/09/2007 13:00:00
The best way to describe is a scheduling system with the StartDate, Duration, EndDate. I am trying to query for datetime periods which are allocated, eg the table records show from 7am - 10am and 9am - 1pm are allocated. When I query on StartDate >= 28/09/2007 07:00:00 AND EndDate <= 28/09/2007 13:00:00, record 201 & 202 shows which is correct because they are within query parameters and are allocated. When I query on StartDate >= 28/09/2007 07:30:00 AND EndDate <= 28/09/2007 13:00:00, record 202 only shows which is correct because record 201 StartDate is before 07:00:00. But my problem is I require record 201 to show because the time period between 07:00:00 and 09:00:00 is allocated and the query parameter is 07:30:00 which is still between 07:00:00 and 09:00:00. I have researched where on similar situations, the use of duration is used, but I am unsure on its application to achieve results. I have also read of other situations where a lookup table should be used, but again I cannot get my head around the application of alookup table to query the resuults.
Does anyone have any theories, design thoughts or real work solutions they can help me with.
I am designing an ASP.NET app that can be used to keep track of attendance at office hours for a class. The purpose of this is that we need to know if a student is attending office hours by different people (so that we can flag them as "in trouble"). I don't know if I have chosen the best database design, and I'm lost as to how to accomplish a query I need.
I have a table HoursAttendance that has the following design.
Column_Name Data_Type Length Allow_Nulls TA char 4 n Date smalldatetime 4 n Start smallint 2 n End smallint 2 n Student1 bit 1 y Student2 bit 1 y Student3 bit 1 y Student4 bit 1 y Student5 bit 1 y
I chose to have the students as columns because the students don't change, and then you add rows of office hours. If students are the rows, then you would be adding columns as the semester continued which I thought was odder...? I'm completely open to suggestions on Database Design, because I really wasn't sure.
Ok, so now I need useful queries. The one that I am stuck on (and also the first one besides select * from HoursAttendance) is that I want the names of Students who have attended more than x office hours. So I need something like
select <column name> from HoursAttendance where count(sum(<column name>)) > x
Granted a better table design could help with this. I'm relatively new to design, so constructive criticism is desired please
Hi everybody have this query that list all the duplicate records meaning the occurence of pubinfid in more than one row. This gets me fine. Iwant thought to insert a where clause that further filters the result where pubid between 30 and 33. I tried placing it after the FROM CLAUSE BUT DOESN'T GIVE me what I want it still includes records other than the between clause. Also I tried placing it after the HAVING clause but it includes records which has only one count.. Where could I place the where clause or is ther an alternative for this.
SELECT a.pubinfid, a.pubid, a.pubcount FROM pubssubscribe AS a INNER JOIN (SELECT pubinfid FROM pubssubscribe GROUP BY pubinfid HAVING (COUNT(*) > 1)) AS b ON a.pubinfid = b.pubinfid
I have a small problem and was hipeing someone could help. Want to run a query, where I sellect results from two tables. Once this is done I want to takes those results and update a table that is already created with those results. How would I do this? Thw eonly way I know how to do this is by writing this:
select CompanyName, ContactName, Address, City, Region, ProductName, UnitPrice INTO TABLE2 From Suppliers, Products
But the problem with this is that I can only input the query results into a new table that I would name above. I can't insert it into a table that has already been created.
This is the erroe that I receive: There is already an object named 'TABLE2' in the database.
