I develop with SQL Server 2000 at work. Because I occasionally work athome I also have SQL Server there.Although the data is not all that important, occasionally I make changesto the structures of the tables in my database at work. (n.b. The wholedatabase is well under 20 MB)I was wondering about a quick and convenient method to communicate thosechanges home. I can't use networked replication because of thefirewalls at each end. (Maybe I could, but I don't know how.)Is there any quick and easy way to transfer table structure updates fromhere to home? I have CD-RW available at each end.It would be acceptable, but not necessary to backup/restore the entiredatabase. I'm more interested in a one-button type of solution, ratherthan an "efficient" method.-- Rick
I'm wondering if theres some easy/simple way of getting what would be the connection string if say I was using visual studio? I'm just tired of having to fiddle with a db connection string because i've missed a letter or a comma.
I am new to Sql, so I think this is a really easy question. But I am working on a 2005 MSSQL database. When I add columns to an existing application with data and tables already being used, and the new column will be set to Database Null. What is an easy way to quickly add the data to all the rows in the table. For example if I am adding a checkbox, I've been doing it manually, add the column, change all the rows to False, one by one. And then I can change it to Disallow DBNull. As I get more and more users this could be a very time consuming process.
So the name of the Table is classifeds_Ads and let's say the column I want to add is Bonus and it needs to be filled with False. How do I do this??? Thank you in advance Daniel Meis
the first line works, but the 2nd line doesn't. I need just the CompanyKey as the table name. Help appreciated. sqlcreate = "CREATE TABLE Company_" + CompanyKey + " (UserID VARCHAR(50), First_Name VARCHAR(50), Last_Name VARCHAR(50), Title VARCHAR(50), Division VARCHAR(50))" sqlcreate = "CREATE TABLE " + CompanyKey + " (UserID VARCHAR(50), First_Name VARCHAR(50), Last_Name VARCHAR(50), Title VARCHAR(50), Division VARCHAR(50))"
I have to implement some logic in a view and I don't know how to do it. Let me outline the logic:
- I'm working with a view where records represent participant activities. - Some participants can have numerous activities. - Each activity has a start date and an activity code. - Only records with activity code 23 or 33 appear in the view currently.
What I need to do is NOT include records where the participant has another activity with code 26 (from another table, the one the current view is derived from) which has the same start date as the activity 23/33 record in the view currently. Also, this should only be implemented if the start date is the first start date (minimum start date for that participant).
I've noticed that there are a lot of questions on this forum, but not as many thank you's. I'm far from a DBA (more of a simple, small town, one stop shop), but have learned tons of information from reading your posts. I certainly appreciate everyone's willingness and excitment to contribute to the SQL community. So here's to you...thank you!
What am i doing wrong with this im tired and for the life of me it wont work Cheers Phil

this query works, i want to add a 4th column that is the value of the 3rd column subracted from the value of the 2nd column, how can i add this?? SELECT `tagid` AS w1, (SELECT count( `value` )FROM tagsWHERE `value` =1AND `tagid` = w1) AS w2, (SELECT count( `value` )FROM tagsWHERE `value` =0AND `tagid` = w1) AS w3FROM tagsWHERE `value` > -1GROUP BY `tagid`ORDER BY w2 DESC
I know thsi is a silly question but gonna ask it anyway :)
When you are using the 'insert' statement to insert records in to a database are all of the fields in the db table required for a successfull adding of a record.
Just that i have 16 fields in my db table and want to insert only 11 fields in to the new record and it is giving me an error, and i am sure my SQL is correct
I just need something verified.. This has to do with IP's and names. We have a sql failover cluster. So is that 4 names.. One for each local machine, one for the cluster itself and one for the sql portion? I guess my question is can the cluster group and sql have the same name and IP or do they need to be different.
Does any one know a quicker way to get data in from TableA to TableB. Both tables have the same structure(Acct# varchar(9); Type varchar(12); Date1 datetime; Date2 datetime; Date3 datetime; Date4 datetime; and Date5 datetime No Nulls allow in Acct & Type field.
TableA has 5.5 Million Rows and TableB has about 1 million rows , I wrote a Stored Proc using cursor to select from TableA insert into TableB if the Acct# and Type doesn't exists.
I didn't want to use bcp because I only wanted rows(Acct#'s) that exists in TableA that where not in TableB. My procedure is working but at a rate of 100 records per minute. Any suggestions?
I have a client that's insisting on deploying SQL Server 2000 as Windows Authntication mode only (not mixed mode). I've always done mixed mode in the past and I'm just looking for some input here. So, what's everyone think?
try to guess what the result is for this query before you run it:SELECT 123.654, 123d6, 123e4, '123'e4comments welcome, but please do not spoil it for anyone who hasn't tried it yet
For a query like below ... How do i have to select only the latest revisions, if i need to filter last current revisions of each document ... where the revision could be either alphabetical or even numerical ...
Presently I get all revisions with the below query ... Note: csd_revi is the field of CSD table for revisions.
I asked a question over the weekend and got a answer very quick. I'm new to stored procedures and have to do a insert into two tables. I need to insert into the first table (Journal_log). This table has a colunm ID that is Identity is set to yes. After inserting that record I need to retrieve the ID from the Journal_log that I just inserted and insert it into the second table (District_Journal) with data for a new record into the second. Can this be done in one stored procedure or do I have to have two?
Table Individuals IndividualID (PK) Initials First Last
Is there an efficient way to query for a list of tests with the PretestTech,PostTestTech,and Project manager initials? I guess I'm stuck because I want to Join the Test and Individual tables but there are three fields that need to be joined. So this is the only way I can think to make it work:
SELECT TestID ,TestInfo ,(SELECT Individual.Initials FROM Individual WHERE Individual.IndividualID = Test.PretestTech) AS 'PretestTech Initials' ,(SELECT Individual.Initials FROM Individual WHERE Individual.IndividualID = Test.PostTestTech) AS 'PostTestTech Initials' ,(SELECT Individual.Initials FROM Individual WHERE Individual.IndividualID = Test.ProjectManager) AS 'ProjectManager Initials' FROM Test
Is this efficient or should I rethink my Table design?
I want help with a couple of SQL queries.I have two Tables Table A and Table B.Both tables have the same two fields Name and Hobbies.One Name can appear beside multiple hobbies in each table.There are three queries I wish to run.1) Find all the Hobbie and Name combinations in Table B not in Table Aonly for Names that exist in Table A2) Find all Hobbies and Name combinations in Table A not in Table B3) Return all data in Table B that contains a Name that exists in TableARegards,Ciarán
I am trying to run a batchfile or a external process ( exe ) from within a Script Task and read the process status returned by the process. Is there a sample VB script code that does this that you guys can share ? What modules do I have to Import ?
Has anyone encountered this error message [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Managr] Driver does not support this function? This occurs when importing data. The company I work for upgraded to Server 2005 and now what once worked fine now has an error. Any suggestions?
Just a quick reality check. If you have a bunch of files that have a timestamp as part of the filename, the only way to find the newest file is to use a script, correct?
Is there anyway to predict what a customer is likely to buy based on their purchase history?
What I would like to do is something simliar to using a natural prediction join with multiple union selects, but with data supplied from my purchases table.
So I need something like this:
Code SnippetOpenquery([ds], 'SELECT DISTINCT [PurchasedProductID] FROM [Table] WHERE [CompanyName] = 'a')
To work like how this works:
Code Snippet(SELECT (SELECT '1234' AS [ProductID] UNION SELECT '12345' AS [ProductID]) AS [Table])
