Running Selected Not Exists On Two Tables On Two
Feb 29, 2008
Hi all,
I have the following SQL script that works fine, but I like to view all the fields for the records that are not exists in “capdb.dbo.abc “ for “capdb2.dbo.abc� table instead of some fields :
select distinct cp2abc.subj_num , cp2abc.abc_age, cp2abc.ABC_LETHARGY, cp2abc.ABC_STEREOTYPY
, cp2abc.ABC_STEREOTYPY, cp2abc.ABC_HYPERACTIVITY, cp2abc.ABC_INAPPROPRIATE_SPEECH
from capdb2.dbo.abc as cp2abc, capdb.dbo.abc as cp1abc
where not exists
(select cp1abc.subj_num, cp1abc.abc_date from capdb.dbo.abc as cp1abc where cp2abc.subj_num = cp1abc.subj_num
and cp2abc.abc_DATE = cp1abc.abc_date)
I tried cp2abc.*, but the returns entire the records in the tables.
select cp2abc.*
from capdb2.dbo.abc as cp2abc, capdb.dbo.abc as cp1abc
where not exists
(select cp1abc.subj_num from capdb.dbo.abc as cp1abc where cp2abc.subj_num = cp1abc.subj_num
and cp2abc.abc_DATE = cp1abc.abc_date)
Is there a way to accomplish this
Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Abrahim

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?

Hi,
I am using windows authentication to access SQL Server 2005 objects. I have created a database role which grants select permission to only 2 tables in the database. I have added the domain user to this role. So the user should be able to select data from only those tables but when i try to select data from other tables also it displays the data which shouldnt happen. Could you please let me know whether there is any specific setting that needs to be done? Also is there anything to do with the schema level permission setting?

Hi,
I hope you can help me.
I've got a csv that I need to import. It's about 74 columns wide and 2500 rows long. What I need to do is select the first 3 columns from the columns from the csv and put them into one table and then put every 7 columns (plus the 1st column as the primary key) into a different table.
I've not explained that very well, basically it's like this...
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P
1
2
3
4
5
Table 1 Data
cs# A1
fe B1
cl C1
Table 2
cs# A1
desc D1
date E1
pay F1
amount G1
vat H1
total I1
cReq J1
I'm not really sure were to start. I want to import the data nightly into the tables. I've tried to use the import wizard but I can't seem to select the data I want and exclude the data I don't.

Using SSRS 2008 r2...I have a report with a single-value parameter and three multi-value parameters, Class1, Name2 and Name3. I'm hoping for an explanation to one thing that I'm seeing and information on a second thing.
Class1 and Name2 both have the (Select All) parameter selected but Class1 is displaying the concatenated parameter variable list whereas Name2 is showing Null. Why is that? If anything, how can I get Class1 to be similar to Name2 and show Null?But my desired wish is to have Class1, Name2 and Name3 display the text"All Selected" when the parameter (Select All) is chosen.

Hello,
I'm struggling with a query that needs to use Not Exists between two unrelated tables. I'm not sure of the best way to handle this with SQL Query Analyzer.
I have three tables, employees, courses and training_records. There is no link between employees and courses other than through the training records table. My problem is that I am unsure of how to pull all employees and an associated course id and course title when there is not a training record for that employee/course?
I had a query that would work when I specified the course id, but I wanted to do this for a list of about 25 courses.
SELECT e.empnumber, e.Nickname + ' ' + e.lastname as employeeName
FROM empdata e
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM #TrainingRecords tr
LEFT JOIN #TrainingCourses tc
ON tc.ClassID = tr.classid
WHERE tc.ClassID = 1377
AND tr.employee = e.empnumber)
I then modified it to get the classid and name
SELECT e.empnumber, e.Nickname + ' ' + e.lastname as employeeName, tc.ClassID, tc.ClassName
FROM empdata e
LEFT JOIN #TrainingCourses tc
ON tc.ClassID = 1377
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM #TrainingRecords tr
WHERE tr.ClassID = tc.ClassID
AND tr.employee = e.empnumber)
I then got it to work using the full list
SELECT e.empnumber, e.Nickname + ' ' + e.lastname as employeeName, tc.ClassID, tc.ClassName
FROM empdata e
LEFT JOIN #TrainingCourses tc
ON tc.ClassID in (1032, 1054, 1059, 1060, 1062, 1063, 1069, 1072, 1074, 1075, 1122, 1189, 1190, 1191, 1192, 1193, 1210, 1218, 1219, 1220, 1310, 1377, 1411)
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM #TrainingRecords tr
WHERE tr.ClassID = tc.ClassID
AND tr.employee = e.empnumber)
My results seem to work like I want them to, but I have never joined a table without actually joining on a value from each table. In this case I join to a list of values and that just looks odd to me. Is this good or crappy development? Is there a better way this should be done?

Hi allIn the SP below im (trying to) do some dynamic sql.

Hello,
I have two tables with the same field layout, and they both have the same field as the Primary Key. They just contain different data. I would like to know if a record exists in one, or both, tables.
The tables are InvTemp1 and SalesTemp1. The key for both is stock_number.
Here is the command so far:
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM InvTemp1 INNER JOIN SalesTemp1 ON InvTemp1.Stock_number = SalesTemp1.Stock_number
WHERE (InvTemp1.Stock_number = '101053')
Thank you for any ideas,
Tom

Hi
I am trying to insert values into a table that doesn't exist there yet from another table, my problem is that because it is joined to the other table it keeps on selecting more values that i don't want.
Code Snippet
SET NOCOUNT ON
INSERT INTO _MemberProfileLookupValues (MemberID, OptionID, ValueID)
SELECT M.MemberID, '6', CASE M.MaritalStatusID WHEN 1 THEN '7'
WHEN 2 THEN '8'
WHEN 3 THEN '9'
WHEN 4 THEN '10'
END
FROM Members M
INNER JOIN _MemberProfileLookupValues ML
ON M.MemberID = ML.MemberID
WHERE M.Active = 1
AND OptionID <> 6
When i execute that code it returns all the values, let say OptionID = 3 is smoking already exists in the MemberProfileLookupValues table then it is going to select that persons memberID
I want to insert only members values that aren't already in the _MemberProfileLookupValues from the Members table (I think that it is because of the join statement that is in my code, but i don't know how i am going to select members that aren't in the table, because i have a few other queries that are very similar that are inserting different values, so ultimately
ONLY INSERT THE MemberID the values 6 and the statusID of X if it is not in the table already.
Any ideas / help will be greatly appreciated. Please help.
Kind Regards

I have been asked to create PK on many tables using a query on all tables where we do not have clustered indexes. Some of the tables contains PK but non-clustered. If in a table there are no PK, then how to decide on which column PK can be created? can we do it with the query without data loss and without human intervention?

I like writing concise and compact sql code without cursors if possible. My current dilemma has me stuck though.I have 3 tables, but one of them is optionally used and contains a key element of TimeOut to determine which Anesthesia CrnaID to use. It is the optionally used part that has me stumped.
Surgery table
CaseID
Patient
(Sample data: 101,SallyDoe 102,JohnDoe)
Anesthesia table
CaseID
CrnaID
(Sample data:
101,Melvin
102,Bart
102,Jack)
AnesthesiaTime table (this table is optionally used, only if the crna's take a break on long cases)
CaseID
CrnaID
TimeIn
TimeOut
(Sample data:
102,Jack,0800,1030
102,Bart,1030,1130
102,Jack,1130,1215)
Select Patient INNER JOIN Anesthesia produced too many case results. So, I figured out there is an AnesthesiaTime table that only gets used if the anesthesia guys take time-outs. That doesn't happen all the time. I could use TOP 1 on the Anesthesia table, but technically I need to read the AnesthesiaTime table and locate the last time and pull that crna, Jack. I'm not sure how to deal with an optional table. I believe the IF Exists will be pertinent, but not sure of how to build this query. I've tried subquery without success.

I'm currently setting up a Tabular Model to do some research between several fact tables. Â In this example i have two fact tables (table 1 and table 2)Â which I've created a 1 to 1 relationship on phone number. Â Typically I create a relationship between these tables to find common data between the two. Â However, in this case I am trying to figure out the best way to model the data so that I can easily surface data from one table that does not exist in the other. Â I would liken this to a LEFT JOIN or a WHERE NOT EXISTS in SQL.
Table 1 has all of the data and Table 2 Only has a subset of the data from Table 1. Â What I'm trying to do here is display what attributes in Table 1 may play a part in records not existing in Table 2. What is the best way to model this?

I try to convert a Procedure that join 8 tables with INNER AND OUTER JOIN, my understanding is that the Lookup task is the one to use and I should break these joins into smaller block, it takes a long time to load when I do this, since each of these tables had 10-40mill. rows and I have 8 tables to go thru, currently this Stored Procedure took 3-4min to run, by converting this to 8 Lookup tasks, it ran for 20min. has anyone run into this issue before and know a work around for this.

I need to search for such SPs in my database in which the queries for update a table contains where clause which uses non primary key while updating rows in table.
If employee table have empId as primary key and an Update query is using empName in where clause to update employee record then such SP should be listed. so there would be hundreds of tables with their primary key and thousands of SPs in a database. How can I find them where the "where" clause is using some other column than its primary key.
If there is any other hint or query to identify such queries that lock tables, I only found the above few queries that are not using primary key in where clause.

trying to get a new database created then running a script to created the tables, relationships, indexes and insert default data. All this I'm making happen during the installation of my Windows application. I'm installing SQL 2012 Express as a prerequisite of my application and then opening a connection to that installed SQL Server using Windows Authentication.Â
E.g.: Data Source=ComputerNameSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=master;Integrated Security=SSPI; Then I run a query from my code to create the database eg: "CREATE DATABASE [MyDatabaseName]".
From this point I run a script using a Batch file containing "SQLCMD....... Myscriptname.sql". In my script I have my tables being created using "Use [MyDatabaseName]   Go  CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MyTableName] .....". So question is, should I have [dbo]. as part of my Create Table T-SQL commands? Can I remove "[dbo]."? Who would be the owner of the database? If I can remove the [dbo]., should I also remove dbo. from any query string from within my code?

Hi,
This is on Sybase but I'm guessing that the same situation would happen on SQL Server. (Please confirm if you know).
I'm looking at these new databases and I'm seeing code similar to this all over the place:
if not exists (select 1 from dbo.t1 where f1 = @p1)
begin
select @errno = @errno | 1
end
There's a unique clustered in dex on t1.f1.
The execution plan shows this for this statement:
FROM TABLE
dbo.t1
EXISTS TABLE : nested iteration.
Table Scan.
Forward scan.
Positioning at start of table.
It's not using my index!!!!!
It seems to be the case with EXISTS statements. Can anybody confirm?
I also hinted to use the index but it still didn't use it.
If the existence check really doesn't use the index, what's a good code alternative to this check?
I did this and it's working great but I wonder if there's a better alternative. I don't really like doing the SET ROWCOUNT 1 and then SET ROWCOUNT 0 thing. SELECT TOP 1 won't work on Sybase, :-(.
SET ROWCOUNT 1
SELECT @cnt = (SELECT 1 FROM dbo.t1 (index ix01)
WHERE f1 = @p1
)
SET ROWCOUNT 0
Appreciate your help.

If I start a long running query running on a background thread is there a way to abort the query so that it does not continue running on SQL server?
The query would be running on SQL Server 2005 from a Windows form application using the Background worker component. So the query would have been started from the background workers DoWork event using ado.net. If the user clicks an abort button in the UI I would want the query to die so that it does not continue to use sql server resources.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks

HI Guys, I have a question.
I am converting Access SQL to SQL Server. One of the statements calls for a wildcard if the user does not select a value for the designated parm field. The value is selected from a cbolist (of names).
Current Statement:
And tblRetailer_Contact.faxcontact LIKE *
I substituted:
And tblRetailer_Contact.faxcontact LIKE ‘%@faxContacts%’
This might work if the User selects a name but if the User leaves it blank it will not work. Any ideas on how I go about establishing a wildcard if not name is selected?
DECLARE @FaxContact as varchar (50)
SET @H_Date = (SELECT StartDate FROM tblRpt_Params WHERE RptID = 5)
SET @Start_Date = (REPLACE(REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR (8), @H_Date, 112), '-', ''), ' ', ''))
SET @H_Date = (SELECT EndDate FROM tblRpt_Params WHERE RptID = 5)
SET @End_Date = (REPLACE(REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR (8), @H_Date, 112), '-', ''), ' ', ''))
SET @FaxContact = (SELECT FaxContact FROM tblRpt_Params WHERE RptID = 5)
SELECT tblEData.Timestamp As [TimeStamp],
LTRIM(RTrim([ResultsCustName])) AS CustName,
LTRIM(RTrim([ResultsPH])) AS Phone, Status As [Status],
FaxContact AS FaxContact,
ResultsPKey As ResultsKey
INTO tmpE_Callbacks
FROM tblEData
LEFT JOIN tblContact
ON tblEData.RetailerPrefix = tblContact.Prefix
WHERE tblEData.Timestamp BETWEEN @Start_Date And @End_Date
AND FaxContact Like '%@FaxContact%'
Thanx so much,
Trudye

I am new to writing sprocs so forgive me if this is trivial. I am selecting fields from a table and placing them into a temp table in row format. (Row 1 in temp table is the first row in a file that will be created using DTS package). My question is: How can a format a field that I have selected that only has, say 3 chars, into a value of 5.
Ex: field in DB = aaa
I need to format it as: 2 spaces + aaa
But the length of the value will be varying from record to record.
