Quick And Easy Question, Sql Update Method . . .

Nov 14, 2007

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

Any Easy Class Method To Update About 100 Fields Of A Database Using Stored Procedure?

Feb 1, 2007

Hi all,
 I am using  C# for ASP.NEt 2003.
I would like to know if there is any easy method to update a database with about 100 fields in it.
At present, I pass all the values of the controls on the web form to the stored procedure as parameters like :-
myCommand.Parameters.Add("@CustomerID", SqlDbType.Int).Value = txtCustomerID.text
Like this,  I add all 100 parameters.
Is there any easy method to do it using a class or any other methods?
Thanking you in advance,
Tomy

Quick And Easy SQL Question . . .

Nov 29, 2007

I don't have much experience with writing Sql, which is why i'm not sure.
But basically, I have a MSSQL 2005 Database that a person can list a property with,
and if the property listing expires by date, the user can relist the listing.
The records on the search function are automatically sorted by date, and I want the relisted records to update the datecreated.
 
I added "DateCreated" to the relisting storedprocedure to change DateCreated to todays date, but I am guessing.
Specials = @Specials,
ExpirationDate = @ExpirationDate ,DateCreated = GetDate(),
DateApproved = @DateApproved,
This seems to work, but I just wanted to check to make sure it's in the proper format.
Thank you
Daniel Meis

Quick And Easy Replication

Jul 20, 2005

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

Looking For Easy Way To Update W/o SQL Statements

Mar 29, 2004

My manager is interested in knowing if there is a way to update our website's SQL database using a method with excel, similar to importing.

The person who was previously in my position had imported a few hundred new products into the database with an excel spreadsheet.

Now, we would like to make updates such as a price changes or similar adjustments to a number of the products in the database. We could use a web interface, but ours requires us to find each product individually and it takes too much time. I told him that it would probably be necessary to write an SQL statement to update the tables, but we're also interested in maintaining the integrity of the database and are worried about loosing data due to a typo. Is it possible to export the db contents to an excel file, make changes, and then merge those changes into the existing database? I have tried and failed, so I am wondering if any experienced users could help me out.

Also, is there some kind of phpmyadmin for MS SQL? A free, open source alternative would be best.

Easy Table Based Update Statement???

Jul 20, 2005

Hello,I have 2 ways of updating data I'm using often1) via a cursor on TABLE1 update fields in TABLE22) via an some of variables ...SELECT @var1=FLD1, @var2=FLD2 FROM TABLE1 WHERE FLD-ID = @inputVARUPDATE TABLE2SET FLDx = @var1, FLDy = @var2WHERE ...Now I have a system with 2 databases and I need to update table DB2.TABbased on data in DB1.TAB. Instead of using 1 of the 2 ways I normally use,I thought it would be much easier to get the required data immediately fromDB1.TAB in the update-statement of DB2.TAB ... but the way to do thatconfuses me. I've checked books online and a lot of newsgrouppostingsgiving good information but still I keep getting errors like this ...The column prefix 'x.ADS' does not match with a table name or alias nameused in the query.while executing the following statement ...UPDATE DB2.dbo.TABSETFLD1 = x.FLD1,FLD2 = x.FLD2,...FROM DB1.dbo.TAB x, DB2.dbo.ADSWHERE DB2.dbo.TAB.REFID = x.IDOFTAB1 AND DB2.dbo.TAB.IDOFTAB2 =@InputParameterSo in DB2.TAB I have a field REFID reffering to the keyfield IDOFTAB1 oftable DB1.TABAND I only want to update the row in DB2.TAB with the unique keyfieldIDOFTAB2 equal to variable @InputParameterDo you see what I'm doing wrong?--Thank you,Kind regards,Perre Van Wilrijk,Remove capitals to get my real email address,

How To Auto-increment Primary Key When Adding A New Row Using Update Method?

Jul 26, 2007

Hi guys,I followed the ASP.net official tutorial to create a DAL & Business Logic Layer (http://www.asp.net/learn/dataaccess/tutorial02cs.aspx). I have a table with a int ID field. I wish to write a function to add a new entry into this table but have the ID field auto-increment.The ID field is set as the Identity Column and has a Identity Increment & Seed of "1". If I manually go to the table and insert a new record leaving the ID value null it automatically increments. But if I create a C# function to add a new entry I get an error saying that the ID field can't be Null. Is there any way to use the Update method as shown on line 14 below to add a new entry but with it automatically incrementing? I did create a function called InsertDevice that simply inserts the other fields using a SQL INSERT and it auto-increments fine, just wondering if there is a way to do it using the DataTable and the Update method? Thanks for any help!!!  1 public bool AddDevice(string make, string model)
2 {
3 //cannot have the same device entered twice!
4 if (Adapter.FillDeviceCountByMakeModel(make, model) == 1)
5 return false;
6
7 RepositoryDataSet.DevicesDataTable devices = new RepositoryDataSet.DevicesDataTable();
8 RepositoryDataSet.DevicesRow device = devices.NewDevicesRow();
9
10 device.make = make;
11 device.model = model;
12
13 devices.AddDevicesRow(device); << Error thrown Here!
14 int rows_affected = Adapter.Update(devices);
15
16 return rows_affected == 1;
17 }

I wanna solve this problem (if you can helpme....), recently, I'm trying to migrate an old SQL 7 to the new SQL 2005 server enterprise edition, I have no problem to import the data, users, stored procedures, etc. and all work fine, I can connect troght ODBC from the others computers, including some older pentium 1 mmx 200 mhz. with WIN98 (yes!).

Quick T-SQL Help

May 13, 2008

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).

Little help?
