Table Names And Field Names
Jan 21, 2004I'm trying to do an update query that looks like this:
UPDATE
PAEMPLOYEE
SET PAEMPLOYEE.LOCAT_CODE = EMPLOYEE.PROCESS_LEVEL
FROM
PAEMPLOYEE A
JOIN EMPLOYEE B ON A.EMPLOYEE = B.EMPLOYEE
It's erroring out on the Employee prefix B.EMPLOYEE saying:
..."does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query"
Is it wrong or will it cause problems to have a field name the same as the table name?
Transact SQL :: Retrieve Currently Created Date From Master Table To Load Into Parent And Child Table
May 12, 2015In Master tabel i have these date datas
2015-05-10
2015-05-11
2015-05-12
SO when i try to load from Master table to parent and child table i am using using expresssion like
select B.ID,A.* FROM FLATFILE_INVENTORY AS A JOIN DMS_INVENTORY AS B ON
A.ACDealerID=B.DMSDEALERID AND A.StockNumber=B.STOCKNUMBER AND
A.InventoryDate=B.INVENTORYDATE AND A.VehicleVIN=B.VEHICLEVIN
WHERE convert(date,A.[FtpDate]) = convert(date,GETDATE()) and convert(date,B.Ftpdate) = convert(date,getdate()) ;
If i use this Expression i am getting the current system date data's only from Master table to parent and child tables.
My Problem is If i do this in my local sserver using the above Expression if i loaded today date and if need to load yesterday date i can change my system date to yesterday date and i can run this Expression.so that yeserday date data alone will get loaded from Master to parent and child tables.
If i run this expression to remote server i cannot change the system date in server.
while using this Expression for current date its loads perfectly but when i try to load yesterday data it takes current date date only not the yesterday date data.
What is the Expression on which ever date i am trying load in the master table same date need to loaded in Parent and child table without changing the system Date.
What's The Accepted Way To Retrieve Records In A SQL Table With Null Values Using A Visual Studio 2005 Table Adapter?
Jan 21, 2008I'm using an ObjectDataSource in Visual Studio to retrieve records from a SQL Server 2005 database.
I have a very simple dilemma. In a table I have fields FirstName, Surname, Address1, Address2, Address3 etc. None of these are mandatory fields.
It is quite common for the user not to enter data in Address2, Address3, so the values are <null> in the SQL table.
In Visual Studio 2005 I have an aspx form where users can pass search parameters to the ObjectDataSource and the results are returned according to the passed in parameters.
The WHERE clause in my Table Adapter is:WHERE (Address1 LIKE @Address1 + '%') AND (Address2 LIKE @Address2 + '%') AND (Address3 LIKE @Address3 + '%') AND (FirstName LIKE @FirstName + '%') AND (Surname LIKE @Surname + '%')
If, for example, I simply want to search WHERE FirstName LIKE ‘R’, this does not return any results if the value of Address3 is <null>
My query is this: Could someone please show me the best way in Visual Studio 2005 to return records even if one of the Address fields is <null>.
For reference, I have tried: Address3 LIKE @Address3 + '%' OR IS NULLThis does work, however itsimply returns every instance where Address3 is <null> (accounting for about 95% of the records in the database). Thanks in advance Simon
SSIS Loading DWH Staging Area When Table Names Is Selected From Table List

i need make SSIS package which selects SOURCE_TABLE_NAME from source ole db, and loads it to DESTINATION_TABLE_NAME in destination ole db.

but when i loop table names is changed, it reports error, that can map columns, becouse in new tables is different columns.

Table Names In Stored Procedures As String Variables And Temporary Table Question
Apr 10, 2008How do I use table names stored in variables in stored procedures?
Code Snippetif (select count(*) from @tablename) = 0 or (select count(*) from @tablename) = 1000000
I receive the error 'must declare table variable '@tablename''
I've looked into table variables and they are not what I would require to accomplish what is needed.
After browsing through the forums I believe I need to use dynamic sql particuarly involving sp_executesql. However, I am pretty new at sql and do not really understand how to use this and receive an output parameter from it(msdn kind of confuses me too). I am tryin got receive an integer count of the records from a certain table which can change to anything depending on what the user requires.
Code Snippet
if exists(Select * from sysobjects where name = @temptablename)
drop table @temptablename
It does not like the 'drop table @temptablename' part here. This probably wouldn't be an issue if I could get temporary tables to work, however when I use temporary tables i get invalid object '#temptable'.
Heres what the stored procedure does.
I duplicate a table that is going to be modified by using 'select into temptable'
I add the records required using 'Insert into temptable(Columns) Select(Columns)f rom TableA'
then I truncate the original table that is being modified and insert the temporary table into the original.
Heres the actual SQL query that produces the temporary table error.
Code Snippet
Select * into #temptableabcd from TableA
Insert into #temptableabcd(ColumnA, ColumnB,Field_01, Field_02)
SELECT ColumnA, ColumnB, Sum(ABC_01) as 'Field_01', Sum(ABC_02) as 'Field_02',
FROM TableB
where ColumnB = 003860
Group By ColumnA, ColumnB
TRUNCATE TABLE TableA
Insert into TableA(ColumnA, ColumnB,Field_01, Field_02)
Select ColumnA, ColumnB, Sum(Field_01) as 'Field_01', Sum('Field_02) as 'Field_02',
From #temptableabcd
Group by ColumnA, ColumnB
The above coding produces
Msg 208, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Invalid object name '#temptableabcd'.
Why does this seem to work when I use an actual table? With an actual table the SQL runs smoothly, however that creates the table names as a variable problem from above. Is there certain limitation with temporary tables in stored procedures? How would I get the temporary table to work in this case if possible?
Thanks for the help.

Passing Table Names To Table Valued Functions
May 25, 2008Hello,
It is possible to write stored procedures which take table names as parameters; is it also possible to do this with table valued functions?
For example, a simple stored procedure is this:
CREATE PROCEDURE SelectTop(@tableName sysname)
AS
BEGIN
Execute('Select top 10 * from ' + @tableName + ';')
END
I want to be able to do the analogous thing with a table valued function (so that I can query the result set, without having to create a temp table). How should I do this (i.e., pass a tablename as an argument to a table valued function)?
Join Table Key To Multiple Table Names
Nov 5, 2004Hi there. I haven't been able to figure out how to join a table on column on multiple table names. Here's the situation:
I have a table "tblJob" with a key of jobID. Now for every jobID, the program creates a new table that keeps track of the stock before the jobId was processed and after it was processed to give accurate stock levels and show the difference in stock levels. So, a jobID of 355 would be related to the table: "tblPreStock_335" and "tblPostStock_335". These 2 tables have all the materials in stock and the quantity. Therefore they show how much material was used. I need to figure out the difference in the material in the stock before and after the processing.
That means that I have to get a stockID, get the associated pre and post tables, and then display the difference of ALL the materials in the pre and post tables.
Could someone help me get started on the right path? Even a link to similiar problem that I haven't found would be nice.
Thx

Retrieve Value From Table

I'd like to get the Total value out of the table if I'm given the OrderID, and store it in a variable. I'm using C# and ASP.NET 2.0.
It's probably really simple, and I think I need to use a stored procedure and ExecuteScalar(), but I'm not sure how to do it.

How Can I Retrieve Data From One Table To Another
Jan 12, 2006Hi, everione,
I am having a big problem, trying to create datebase.
I have 3 tables: SUPERAVATAR, MASTERAVATAR, MEGAAVATAR.
- SuperAvatars are heroes in an online role playing gaming. They have an ID, ‘superavatarID’ which contain an UNIQUE NUMBER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY to identify them.
A wisdom – ‘trickster’,’conjuror’,’magician’, etc..
A current owner… who is the user or player of the game and has that Super Avatar– we associate the link to USERID to know the person.
SuperAvatars can be fathers or mothers of Mega Avatars.
-MegaAvatars are the children of SuperAvatars…. They also have an ID UNIQUE NUMBER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY to indentify them.
A magic power – it can be a ‘Leader’ or ‘Sheep’…
A ‘parent’ – parent is the number identifying to know to who Super Avatar belongs.
e.g.
SUPERAVAT WISD CURRENTOWNER FATHEROF MOTHEROF
1 Thick 3 1
2 Mentally Ch. 11 3
3 Smart 9 2
4 Genius 16 4
5 Thick 19
MEGAAVATARID MAGICPOWER PARENT
1 MAGICIAN 1
2 WIZARD 3
3 SORCERER 2
4 MAGICIAN 4
-We see that MEGAAVATAR 1 has a magic power as Magician and his father is ‘1’. ‘1’ identifies the SUPERAVATAR.
We see SUPERAVATARID…. who has the number ‘1’? the first in the row… who has wisdom – thick and he belongs to the USER with ID number 3.
-We see MEGAAVATARID… we choose the number 2…. His magic power is as WIZARD… and his father is the number 3.
We see SUPERAVATARID now… we look up the SuperavatarID 3…. We can see he has a wisdom – GENIUS… who belongs to the USERID 16 and he is father of MEGAAVATAR number 2.
The list can carry on and never stop.
I have this Problems:
We create in this example 3 tables: Users, SuperAvatar, MegaAvatar
SQL
CREATE TABLE users(userID NUMBER CONSTRAINT pk_user PRIMARY KEY,email VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL UNIQUE,password VARCHAR2(15) NOT NULL UNIQUE,subscription CHAR(8) NOT NULL CHECK (subscription IN('ACTIVE' , 'INACTIVE' ) ) );
CREATE TABLE superavatar(superavatarID NUMBER CONSTRAINT pk_superavatar PRIMARY KEY, wisdom VARCHAR2(19) NOT NULL CHECK (wisdom IN ('THICK', 'MENTALLY CHALLENGED', 'AWAKE', 'SMART', 'GENIUS')), currentOwner NUMBER NOT NULL, fatherOf NUMBER,motherOf NUMBER);
CREATE TABLE megaavatar (megaavatarID NUMBER CONSTRAINT pk_megaavatar PRIMARY KEY, magicPower VARCHAR2(12) NOT NULL CHECK (magicPower IN('TRICKSTER','CONJUROR','MAGICIAN','WIZARD','SORCERER')), parent NUMBER);
Now, the 3 tables are created…..
What happen when we try to insert values to this table?
In this case we insert to User Table some examples:
INSERT INTO users VALUES('3','john@hotmail.com','great78','ACTIVE');
INSERT INTO users VALUES('9','chrisandsandra@gmail.com','chrisandra)','ACTIVE');
Now, we insert to SuperAvatar some examples;
INSERT INTO superavatar VALUES('1','THICK','3','1','');
INSERT INTO superavatar VALUES('3','SMART','9','3','');
|
|
‘9’ is the UserID that we already insert to the User table
What’s the problem?
We have to insert manually the data from USERID to CURRENTOWNER as we didn’t match or link CURRENTOWNER from SUPERAVATAR Table to USERID from USER Table with a SQL CODE.
What happen if we have thousands of USERS that they register to this game…? We will never know to how belongs that SUPERAVATAR but if someone do it manually can spend a year.
I am trying to fix this problem …. I add in SUPERAVATAR TABLE ‘CHECK’ in currentOwner..
SQL> CREATE TABLE superavatar
(superavatarID NUMBER CONSTRAINT pk_superavatar PRIMARY KEY, wisdom VARCHAR2(19) NOT NULL CHECK (wisdom IN ('THICK', 'MENTALLY CHALLENGED', 'AWAKE', 'SMART', 'GENIUS')),
currentOwner NUMBER NOT NULL CHECK (currentOwner IN(SELECT userID FROM users)),
fatherOf NUMBER,
motherOf NUMBER);
*
ERROR:
ORA-02251: subquery not allowed here
It doesn’t work.
Please HELP, I have exam tomorrow
thank you
