I'm using MSSQL and PHP.
I've got the following sql statement:
$msquery = IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT SerienNr FROM tbl_Auftrag a WHERE a.SerienNr='PC8') INSERT INTO tbl_Auftrag (BMS_AuftragsNr, SerienNr, AuftraggNr, Zieltermin, Kd_Name) VALUES ('455476567','PC8','1','2006-3-2','Fritz')
The Statement itself works fine, but i've got a problem getting a return value whether the insert has succeed, or not. :confused:
mssql_query() always returns true if there occured no error in the statement. But i need to know if the insert procedded or not.
I tried:
In MS Access I can do in one SQL statement a update if exists else ainsert.Assuming my source staging table is called - SOURCE and my targettable is called - DEST and both of them have the same structure asfollowsKeycolumns==========MaterialCustomerYearNonKeyColumns=============SalesIn Access I can do a update if the record exists else do a insert inone update SQL statement as follows:UPDATE DEST SET DEST.SALES = SOURCE.SALESfrom DEST RIGHT OUTER JOIN SOURCEON (DEST.MATERIAL = SOURCE.MATERIAL ANDDEST.CUSTOMER = SOURCE.CUSTOMER ANDDEST.YEAR = SOURCE.YEAR)This query will add a record in SOURCE into DEST if that record doesnot exist in DEST else it does a update. This query however does notwork on SQL 2000Am I missing something please share your views how I can do this inSQL 2000.ThanksKaren
I am inserting a record into a table that automatically generatesunique ids (i.e. Primary Key). Is there anyway to return this id. As Iam using this on ASP.net page and I really need the ID to update thepage with the new details.I think on mysql there is something called LAST_INSERT_ID which doesthis.
I'm quite stuck with this:I have an import table called ReferenceMatchingImport which containsdata that has been sucked from a data submission. The contents ofthis table have to be imported into another table ExternalReferencewhich has various foreign keys.This is simple but one of these keys says that the value inExternalReference.CompanyRef must be in the CompanyReference table.Of course if this is an initial import then it will not be so as partof my script I must insert a new row into CompanyReference andpopulate ExternalReference.CompanyRef with the identity column of thistable.I thought a good idea would be to use an SP which inserts a new rowand returns @@Identity as the value to insert. However this doesn'twork as far as I can tell. Is there a approved way to perform thissort of opperation? My code is below.Thanks.ALTER PROCEDURE SP00ReferenceMatchingImportAS/*Just some integrity checking going on here*/INSERT ExternalReference(ExternalSourceRef,AssetGroupRef,CompanyUnitRef,EntityTypeCode,CompanyRef, --this is the unknown ref which is returned by the spExternalReferenceTypeCode,ExternalReferenceCompanyReferenceMapTypeCode,StartDate,EndDate,LastUpdateBy,LastUpdateDate)SELECT rmi.ExternalDataSourcePropertyRef,rmi.AssetGroup,rmi.CompanyUnit,rmi.EntityType,SP01InsertIPDReference rmi.EntityType, --here I'm trying to run thesp so that I can use the return value as the insert value1,1,GETDATE(),GETDATE(),'RefMatch',GETDATE()FROM ReferenceMatchingImport rmiWHERE rmi.ExternalDataSourcePropertyRef NOT IN (SELECT ExternalSourceRefFROM ExternalReference)
I would like to INSERT an array of integer into a table in MSSQL Server, then count the number of rows in the table with c++ using ODBC. Here you find my code to do this task:
In my code, I would like to Insert the array and then count the number of rows:
SQLTCHAR Statement[] = _T("INSERT INTO information1(Wert1,Wert2) VALUES(?,?) select count(*) as a from information1 ") ;
Problem : My expectation is, that first 9 rows are inserted into table then comes 9 as result to user (if the table is empty) but this code returns me 1 if first the table is empty. If the table is not empty, it returns 1+number of  existing rows in the table. If I take a look inside the table, the 9 rows are successfully inserted in it. Only the number of rows in the table is wrong.
Hint : If I monitor the database using SQL Profiler. It looks like this:
I use OdbcConnection inside clr procedure, for getting data. If I use simple EXEC dbo.clr_proc - all is OK. If I use INSERT...EXEC I recive error message: Distributed transaction enlistment failed.
I set MSDTC security options for No Authentification and Allow inbound and Allow outbound, but it's no use.
Have this problem solution? May be, I must use another method to get my data?
P.S. Linked Servers and OPENQUERY is not applicable. Sybase not describe columns in stored proc result set and one stored proc may return different result set by params.
I frequently use the "If NOT EXISTS (Select ...) Insert ..." statement and would like to display a message to the user after the execution of the statement to say whether the Insert was or wasn't executed. Is there a way to get SQL to return a value that will tell me if the Insert was carried out or not? If not, perhaps you know of some other efficient way of handling this situation.
Hi all, I am trying to access a sql database and if the userid exists in the database to the let me query another statement within an IF block to check another statement within the data, however I cannot seem to get it to work. I need something like sql.row.count != 0 within the 2nd IF statement below. What can I do?Thanks in advance.Jason using System;using System.Configuration;using System.Data;using System.Data.SqlClient;using System.Linq;using System.Web;using System.Web.Security;using System.Web.UI;using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;using System.Web.UI.WebControls;using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;using System.Xml.Linq;public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page { protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { } protected void btnStart_Click(object sender, ImageClickEventArgs e) { if (Session["userid"] == null) { Response.Redirect("accessdenied.aspx"); } else { //Response.Redirect("page1.aspx"); SqlConnection objConnect = new SqlConnection(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyConnection"].ConnectionString); objConnect.Open(); SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT user_id FROM users WHERE user_id = '" + Session["userid"] + "'"); if (cmd == true) { Response.Redirect("page5.aspx"); } objConnect.Close(); } }}
I am a SQL newbie trying to create a registration page. The registration data is stored in "tblUsers," and the username is stored in the field named "UID" -- which is the primary key. If the user enters a username that already exists in the database, I want to return the "That username already exists" message and keep them on the registration page. If the username doesn't exist, I want to write all their registration info to the database.
I tried the code below using both an existing username and then using a username that didn't exist. Both times I got the "that username already exists" error message on the top of the confirmation page, and the record was not written to the database.
I also tried changing the "If objRec.RecordCount <> 0" to "If objRec.RecordCount >0" I got it to write to the database if the username didn't exist, but if the username did exist, I got the microsoft error '80040e14' (The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values...)
I have a policy table which has policyNumbers and createDate. I need to retrieve all rows where createDate is between 2 dates and there is more than 1 row with the same policy number. I cannot figure out the SQL to return all policy number rows if there are more than 1 row with the policy. Most policies number will be in the table once. I need the others.
I'm trying to create a report that's based on a SQL-2005 Stored Procedure.
I added the Report Designer, a Report dataset ( based on a shared datasource).
When I try to build the project in BIDS, I get an error. The error occurs three times, once for each parameter on the stored procedure.
I'll only reproduce one instance of the error for the sake of brevity.
[rsCompilerErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the query parameter 'UserID' contains an error : [BC30654] 'Return' statement in a Function, Get, or Operator must return a value.
I've searched on this error and it looks like it's a Visual Basic error :
SELECT 'abc' + '-' + CAST(SeqNo AS VARCHAR) + '-' + CAST(Payment AS VARCHAR) FROM abc WHERE SeqNo = 1 UNION SELECT 'def' + '-' + CAST(SeqNo AS VARCHAR) + '-' + CAST(Payment AS VARCHAR) FROM def WHERE SeqNo = 1 abc-1-200.00 abc-1-500.00
As you can see since 1 doesn't exists in table 'def' nothing is returned as expected. However, if a row isn't returned I want to be able to enter my own row such as
Ok I have a query "SELECT ColumnNames FROM tbl1" let's say the values returned are "age,sex,race".
Now I want to be able to create an "update" statement like "UPATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race" dynamically and execute this UPDATE statement. So, if the next select statement returns "age, sex, race, gender" then the script should create "UPDATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race + gender" and execute it.
I'm trying to gather some user statistics based on 3 conditions. First I want to check if the referring querystring is already in the database. If not insert it into the db. Second, if the querystring is already in the database, then check if the ip-address of the user is already in the database. If it is, then check if the ip address was inserted today. If not, update the "refCountIn" field with +1. The problem lies in the third condition where we check if the ip-address was inserted today and if false, update the "refCountIn" field with +1 and if true, do nothing.Below is the code I have until now: 1 Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load 2 3 ' *** Declare the variables 4 Dim getStatCmd As String 5 Dim updStatCmd As String 6 7 Dim myRef As String = Request.QueryString("ref") 8 Dim myQueryString As String = Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING").Replace("ref=", "") 9 Dim myRemoteAddr As String = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR") 10 Dim myHttpReferer As String = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") 11 12 Dim dtNow As Date = DateTime.Now 13 Dim dtToday As Date = DateTime.Today 14 15 ' *** Conditional INSERT command 16 getStatCmd = _ 17 "IF EXISTS(SELECT 'True' FROM tblReferers WHERE robotName = '" & myQueryString & "' AND refIpAddress = '" & myRemoteAddr & "' AND refTime = '" & dtToday & "') " & _ 18 "BEGIN " & _ 19 "SELECT 'This clickin has already been recorded!'" & _ 20 "END ELSE BEGIN " & _ 21 "SELECT 'Clickin recorded' " & _ 22 "INSERT INTO tblReferers(robotName, refIpAddress, refReferer, refTime) " & _ 23 "VALUES(" & _ 24 "'" + myQueryString + "'," & _ 25 "'" + myRemoteAddr + "'," & _ 26 "'" + myHttpReferer + "'," & _ 27 "'" + dtToday + "')" & _ 28 "END " 29 30 31 ' *** Conditional UPDATE command 32 updStatCmd = _ 33 "IF EXISTS(SELECT 'True' FROM tblReferers WHERE robotName = '" & myQueryString & "' AND refIpAddress = '" & myRemoteAddr & "' AND refTime <> '" & dtToday & "') " & _ 34 "UPDATE tblReferers " & _ 35 "SET refCountIn = refCountIn + 1, refTime = '" & dtNow & "' " & _ 36 "WHERE refIpAddress = '" & myRemoteAddr & "' AND robotName = '" & myRef & "'" 37 38 Dim insConnCmd As New SqlCommand(getStatCmd, New SqlConnection(connSD)) 39 Dim updConnCmd As New SqlCommand(updStatCmd, New SqlConnection(connSD)) 40 41 insConnCmd.Connection.Open() 42 insConnCmd.ExecuteNonQuery() 43 insConnCmd.Connection.Close() 44 45 updConnCmd.Connection.Open() 46 updConnCmd.ExecuteNonQuery() 47 updConnCmd.Connection.Close() 48 49 End Sub Anyone with an idea on how to solve this one?

Ok I have a table called allstocks, with a primary key of ticker, I also have a todaysstocks table with a primary key of ticker.
Todaysstock table updates the allstocks table with this statement,
insert into allstocks (exchange,transdate,ticker,[opened date],[closed date],[over/under]) select exchange,[todays date],ticker,[opened date], [closed date],[over/under] from todaysstocks
this works fine, unless the ticker already exists. How do I write the statement, that if the ticker already exists, then update the rest of the fields with the new info, or delete the row and recreate it?
I would like to set a variable within my if exists statement, however SQL is throwing and error stating:
Incorrect syntax near '='.
If I remove the if exists, the query runs fine. Is there a reason why this is not working the way I have it and what suggestions can I use to accomplish what I am trying to do, which is store the ID into the permissionID variable
Here is my code block:

declare @permissionID int;

I'm trying to create a batch sql script which first alters some existing tables via the ALTER TABLE command, I then want to alter some existing stored procedures via the ALTER PROCEDURE command within the same batch. I have found that I can encompas the alter table scripts within a conditional IF EXISTS (Begin/End) but not the alter procesdure scripts. I have looked in reference material and have found nothing to suggest this type of operation is not possible. Is this possible? Is this a know bug fixed by a service pack?
IF EXISTS(Select ApplicationID from Application Where Application = '&_') Insert Into PCApp(ApplicationID, SystemNetName) Values( , $HoH->{Host}{SystemNetName})
I am not sure what to put in the blank within the Values parenthesis. I need to obtain the ApplicationID that is checked in the IF EXISTS section. But I cannot put a select statement into the Values() section.
When I created an SP in Enterprise Manager, I didn't manually type in the existence check at the inception, a la "if exists (select * from sysobjects...)". I just started with the CREATE PROC AS statement.
I noticed that if I generate a SQL script for the SP, SQL2000 automatically generates the existence check statement.
My question is, can I assume that when the SP is actually executed, SQL2000 does the exists check on its own? I EXEC'd the proc in Query Analyzer with no errors.
I just want to make sure that I don't need to enter the exists statement if it's already being done behind the scenes.
Basically, I need to insert the wbs2 and wbs3 where it does not exist in each wbs1.
What I have now will find the values that need to be inserted for a particular project but I don't know how to go through each project and perform the insert:
Select * from PR_template Where Not Exists (Select Wbs1, Wbs2, Wbs3 from PR where PR.WBS2 = PR_Template.WBS2 And PR.WBS3 = PR_Template.Wbs3 and pr.wbs1 = '123-456') Order by wbs2, wbs3 asc
Im trying to select rows on the following criteria
My app has a user that can have x jobs, each job has related entries which are marked has unread or read. I need to return any jobs that contain any unread entries also I need to return other jobs that have no entries marked as read.
Comment ReadThe Job 157 Comment ReadThird 159 Comment ReadMy Job 164 On Site Visit ReadMy newest job for log test 167
but as you can see jobid 164 appears in both groups and I need it to be one or the other
I tried using the if exists statement and was only able to return one group either unread or read, not both. I've tried everything but I'm new and I figure that theres got to be a more elegant way. Heres my sql:
CREATE PROCEDURE spGetJobsByUnreadAndReadByUserID @UserID INT AS
BEGIN IF EXISTS(SELECT DISTINCT Master_Jobs.JobID, Profiles.ProfileDescriptor, Backup_UserNotes.BackUp_Read, Master_Jobs.Job_Title, Master_Jobs.Contact, Master_Jobs.Due_Date, Master_Jobs.Due_Time, Master_Jobs.Next_Action, Master_Jobs.By_Who
FROM Master_Jobs INNER JOIN Note ON Master_Jobs.JobID = Note.FK_JobID INNER JOIN Backup_UserNotes ON Note.NoteID = Backup_UserNotes.BackUp_NoteID INNER JOIN User_Notes ON Note.NoteID = User_Notes.FK_UN_NoteID INNER JOIN Job_Assignments ON Master_Jobs.JobID = Job_Assignments.FK_Master_JobID INNER JOIN Profiles ON Master_Jobs.FK_ProfileID = Profiles.ProfileID INNER JOIN Users ON Backup_UserNotes.BackUp_UserID = Users.UserID AND User_Notes.FK_UN_UserID = Users.UserID AND Job_Assignments.UserID = Users.UserID
WHERE Users.UserID = @UserID AND-- Note.FK_UserID = User_Notes.FK_UN_UserID AND BackUp_Read = 'UnRead')
I'm trying to write a script that would only update a column if it exists.
This is what I tried first:
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'Enrollment' AND COLUMN_NAME = 'nosuchfield') BEGIN UPDATE dbo.Enrollment SET nosuchfield='666' END
And got the following error:
Server: Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Invalid column name 'nosuchfield'.
I'm curious why MS-SQL would do syntax checking in this case. I've used this type of check with ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN commands before and it worked perfectly fine.
The only way I can think of to get around this is with:
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'Enrollment' AND COLUMN_NAME = 'nosuchfield') BEGIN declare @sql nvarchar(100) SET @sql = N'UPDATE dbo.Enrollment SET nosuchfield=''666''' execute sp_executesql @sql END
which looks a bit awkward. Is there a better way to accomplish this?
I am new to msSQL and ASP, I need some help writing an SQL statement that will first check to see if a combination or record exists, if none found thant it will add it. I am working a section of a site that adds favorites to the database. Each user can have more that one favorite hence it has to check for that unique combination of the fields, UserID and FavID
My Code: Dim objConnection, objRecordset, strSQL Dim strFavID, strUserID strFavID = request.Form("favid") strUserID = request.Form("userid")
Set objConnection = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") Set objRecordset = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") objConnection.Open Application("ConnectionString")
strSQL = "INSERT INTO FAV (UserID,FavID) (SELECT DISTINCT " & strUserID & " AS UserID " & _ strFavID & " AS FavID" & " FROM FAV)" & _ " WHERE " & strUserID & " & " & strFavID & " NOT IN (SELECT UserID, FavID FROM FAV)" response.Write(strSQL) 'response.End()
If strFavID <> "" Then On Error Resume Next objConnection.Execute(strSQL)
objConnection.Close Set objConnection = Nothing End If
This code is giving me a syntax error, how do I write the correct statement. I am using MS Access 2k
/*if key values exist don't insert new record*/ SELECT
/*if exists don't insert*/ CASE WHEN ISNULL(gradeId, -1) = -1 THEN INSERT INTO tblScores (gtStudentId, assignmentId, score) VALUES (@nStudent, @nAssignment, 0) END
FROM tblScores WHERE gtStudentId = @nStudent AND assignmentId = @nAssignment
tblScores has two fields comprising its primary key (gtStudentId, assignmentId) and the gradeId field is a required filed in this table.
I'm getting syntax errors when I click check syntax (near keywords insert from and end).
one other note: this CASE END is nested inside a BEGIN END loop, is this the problem? Is the 'End" of the 'Case' closing the 'End' of the 'Begin'?
it's me again :) I've got a - what I think - simple question. There is table A with Col1,Col2,Col3 and Table B with Col1,Col2,Col3
I want all rows from B in A. If a row already exist in A, then update all columns, else just insert the row. Can someone please help me with a small syntax. Thank you!
I am using the following code to insert records into a destination tablethat has a three column primary key i.e. (PupilID, TermID &SubjectGroup). The source table records all the pupils in a school with(amongst other things) a column (about 50) for each subject the pupilmight potentially sit. In these columns are recorded the study groupthat they belong to for those subjects. The destination table holds arecord per pupil per subject per term, against which the teacher willultimately record the pupils performance.The code as shown runs perfectly until the operator tries to insert aselection of records that include some that already exist. What I wouldlike it to do is, record those, which do not exist and discard theremainder. However, whenever a single duplicate occurs SQL rejects thewhole batch. I know that my solution will probably involve using the‘NOT EXISTS’ expression, but try as I might I cannot get it to work. Tofurther complicate things, the code is being run from within VBA usingthe RunSQL command.The variables ‘strFieldName’, ‘strGroup’ & ‘strTerm are declared at thestart of the procedure and originate from options selected on an Accessform.INSERT INTO dbo.yInterimReportData (PupilID, LastName, FirstName,TermID, SubjectGroup) SELECT PupilID, LastName, FirstName," & "'" &strTerm & "'" & "," & "'" & strGroup & "'" & "FROM dbo.Pupils WHERE (" &strFieldName & " = " & "'" & strGroup & "')Any Ideas?RegardsColin*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
Hi I am trying to populate a table with 2 FKs as its PK (SiteID and ProductDescID). First 1) I add in all the products whose Manfacturer and Category are supposed to appear on the site and then 2) I add in all the extra products that are needed regardless of their manufacturer or category. The problem I am having is if the product has already been added to the ProductCatTable due to its Manufacturer or Cateogry but is also in the SatForceProduct table. The can’t insert duplicate PK error is thrown. I don’t know how to do this IF NOT EXISTS statement (or what ever else may be needed) so that I can check whether a line from the Forced table needs to be added. I am not passing in any parameters and I am expecting more than 1 line to be inserted in each of the statements. Please help -- 1) Populate INSERT INTO dbo.ProductCatTable (SiteID, ProductDescID) SELECT dbo.SatSite.SiteID, dbo.ProductDesc.ProductDescID FROM dbo.SatManu INNER JOIN dbo.ProductDesc ON dbo.SatManu.Manu = dbo.ProductDesc.Manu INNER JOIN dbo.SatCats ON dbo.ProductDesc.Cat = dbo.SatCats.Cat INNER JOIN dbo.SatSite ON dbo.SatManu.SatID = dbo.SatSite.SiteID AND dbo.SatCats.SatID = dbo.SatSite.SiteID 2) Add Force Ins IF NOT EXISTS(SELECT SiteID, ProductDescID FROM ProductCatTable WHERE ????????) BEGIN INSERT INTO dbo. ProductCatTable (SiteID, ProductDescID) SELECT SiteID, ProductDescID FROM dbo.SatForceProduct END Thanks in advance J
I have a 'Products' table (with: 'uid' and 'CatName' columns) and 'ProductCategory' table (with: 'uid', 'ProductID', 'CategoryID' columns).
I got stored procedure below to update or insert new row to 'ProductCategory' table whenever 'Products' table has been updated or new products has been added to it.
Update part works just fine but when new row has been added to 'Products' this storedProc dosn't insert it into 'ProductCategory' table, it does that only when 'ProductCategory' table is empty, I'm afraid it's because first column 'uid' in 'ProductCategory' table is an Identity column... I’m not sure how should I go about that problem. This is my stored procedure:
DECLARE @CatNo INT, @CatName varchar(10) SET @CatNo = 2 SET @CatName = 'bracket'
IF exists (SELECT ProductID from ProductCategory, Products where ProductCategory.ProductID = Products.uid and Products.CatName = @CatName ) BEGIN UPDATE ProductCategory SET CategoryID = @CatNo FROM Products WHERE Products.CatName = @CatName and ProductCategory.ProductID = Products.uid END ELSE BEGIN INSERT INTO ProductCategory ( ProductID, CategoryID) SELECT uid, @CatNo FROM Products WHERE Products.CatName = @CatName END
SET @CatNo = 3 SET @CatName = 'cable'
IF exists (SELECT ProductID from ProductCategory, Products where ProductCategory.ProductID = Products.uid and Products.CatName = @CatName ) BEGIN UPDATE ProductCategory SET CategoryID = @CatNo FROM Products WHERE Products.CatName = @CatName and ProductCategory.ProductID = Products.uid END ELSE BEGIN INSERT INTO ProductCategory ( ProductID, CategoryID) SELECT uid, @CatNo FROM Products WHERE Products.CatName = @CatName END (... Goes for another 37 categories)
I had implemented as in the link to insert or update http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2006/09/12/SSIS_3A00_-Checking-if-a-row-exists-and-if-it-does_2C00_-has-it-changed.aspx
What i want to know is... how can i assume there are no duplicate records. I used Distinct keyword and queried it showed me all are distint but some where i find some duplicates just don't know why i am having when i look at the data both are exactly same...
I am checking to see if the source record is available in the target table using a lookup transformation and if not found i have to insert this record. I have connected the error flow of the lookup transformation to the target. I am acheiving expected results, but is this the best practise? I have not connected to the green arrow to any task.
