I need to update a table on our Test Server which is GCSQLTEST, with another table thats on our live server GCSQL. How would I go about doing that in a stored procedure??
CREATE PROCEDURE [InsertRevised_MainTable]
AS
INSERT INTO dbo.RevisedMainTable
([IR Number], [Date], [I/RDocument], [Violation Type])
SELECT [Incident Report No], [Date], [I/RDocument], TypeOfIncident
FROM dbo.RevisedMainTable
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM dbo.RevisedMainTable
WHERE [IR Number] = [IR Number])
Hi all,I just asked some people to help me out and phone microsoft with thefollowing information, kindly they refused unless we setup a supportcontract with them first, for pre-sales information. (That really doesnot sound like good business sense to me - anyway here is our problem,if anyone could help thanks)."To tell and ask microsoft:We will be setting up a microsoft sql server 2000 instance running on awindows 2003 server.1) We need to check this can run alongside a microsoft 2003 sql server(either workgroup or standard edition), on the same machine. Are thereany .dll clashes if we do this? If there are can we run SQL Server2000, in a virtual machine running windows 2000 professional. (I have alicenced copy we can use for this).2) If we run one instance of 2000, and one of 2003 of the sql servers,can one use the processor licence model, and one use the CAL licencemodel."Thanks for any help, and any idea why they actually force you to usenews groups for pre-sales information?David
I have a project were I will have it so that users can sign in and change information on an SQL server. The catch is that this site will be from a different domain name and from a different hosting company then where the SQL database is located. Sorry if this is a dumb question but how can I utilize asp.net to change and view an SQL database that is located else-where. For example: a user logs into www.something.com and he/she can view and edit SQL tables from www.somethingelse.com's database. Thanks in advance.
I have two databases in sql server. I'll call them DB1 and DB2. I have a table in DB2 that needs to form a relationship with a table in DB1. When I attempt to add a relationship I only see tables in DB2. Can this be done?
I have a project that consists of a SQL db with an Access front end as the user interface. Here is the structure of the table on which this question is based:
Code Block
create table #IncomeAndExpenseData ( recordID nvarchar(5)NOT NULL, itemID int NOT NULL, itemvalue decimal(18, 2) NULL, monthitemvalue decimal(18, 2) NULL ) The itemvalue field is where the user enters his/her numbers via Access. There is an IncomeAndExpenseCodes table as well which holds item information, including the itemID and entry unit of measure. Some itemIDs have an entry unit of measure of $/mo, while others are entered in terms of $/yr, others in %/yr.
For itemvalues of itemIDs with entry units of measure that are not $/mo a stored procedure performs calculations which converts them into numbers that has a unit of measure of $/mo and updates IncomeAndExpenseData putting these numbers in the monthitemvalue field. This stored procedure is written to only calculate values for monthitemvalue fields which are null in order to avoid recalculating every single row in the table.
If the user edits the itemvalue field there is a trigger on IncomeAndExpenseData which sets the monthitemvalue to null so the stored procedure recalculates the monthitemvalue for the changed rows. However, it appears this trigger is also setting monthitemvalue to null after the stored procedure updates the IncomeAndExpenseData table with the recalculated monthitemvalues, thus wiping out the answers.
How do I write a trigger that sets the monthitemvalue to null only when the user edits the itemvalue field, not when the stored procedure puts the recalculated monthitemvalue into the IncomeAndExpenseData table?
Hi... I have data that i am getting through a dbf file. and i am dumping that data to a sql server... and then taking the data from the sql server after scrubing it i put it into the production database.. right my stored procedure handles a single plan only... but now there may be two or more plans together in the same sql server database which i need to scrub and then update that particular plan already exists or inserts if they dont...
this is my sproc... ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_Import_Plan] @ClientId int, @UserId int = NULL, @HistoryId int, @ShowStatus bit = 0-- Indicates whether status messages should be returned during the import.

So how do i do multiple inserts and updates using this stored procedure...
Does anyone know what the best way to do mass updates in SQL server is? I am currently using the methodology suggested in this article
http://www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=3141
But the article is assuming that once I update a field it is going to have a value that is NOT NULL. So I can loop through and update the rows that have a NOT NULL value. But my updated rows do contain NULL values, in this case what is the best way to go about this???
*************************************** Here is my code. I want to avoid using Upd_flag becos after the following code runs I need to reset that flag before I run my next query ***************************************
--Set rowcount to 50000 to limit number of inserts per batch Set rowcount 50000
--Declare variable for row count Declare @rc int Set @rc=50000
While @rc=50000 Begin
Begin Transaction
--Use tablockx and holdlock to obtain and hold --an immediate exclusive table lock. This usually --speeds the insert because only one lock is needed.
update t_PGBA_DTL With (tablockx, holdlock) SET t_PGBA_DTL.procedur = A.[Proc code], t_PGBA_DTL.Upd_flag = 1 FROM t_PGBA_DTL INNER JOIN CPT_HCPCS_I9_PROC_CODES A ON t_PGBA_DTL.PROC_CD = A.[Proc code] WHERE t_PGBA_DTL.Upd_flag = 0
--Get number of rows updated --Process will continue until less than 50000 Select @rc=@@rowcount
Our IT guy insists that he must be present anytime the SQL Server automatic updates from Microsoft are installed on the server or the server will crash. What has he been tinkering with to cause this to happen or is he just giving us a line?
Here's the scenario: * I have a database with a table * I have a C# program which displays information about the data in the database * If the data changes in the database, I wish for the client to pick it up and report the change
Is there a way to have some form of 'Event Handling' where the client will react to UPDATE queries on a table?
I'm developing a web app using ASP.NET and SQL Server 2005 Express. So far it's all been on my local computer, it hasn't gone live yet, so if I need to add a column to a table or make some other schema change I just do it right in Visual Studio, nice and simple. If I have to delete all the old content and start over, no problem. When I deploy it to a staging server I just overwrite the existing file with my new one, losing its data in the process. But soon enough I'll be deploying this to a public web server, there will be real live data in the db, people using it when I need to make updates.
What are some common strategies for updating the schema of a database on a live server?
It's obvious that when I need to update the db I'll have to shut down the site temporarily. But my biggest question is how to keep the existing data from the live db? I obviously can't overwrite it with my local copy. I want to overwrite its schema, without touching its data. How's that done?
Is it possible to perform a cascading delete and update using TRIGGERS on a table referenced by a foreign key constraint.?To be more specific.. if the primary key is deleted does the delete trigger on the primary table deletes the record in the foreign key table or does it return an error?? if possible please send us the T SQL Statements .

Here i am back with an inquiry about the last process of Merge Replication between SQL Mobile 2005 and SQL Server 2005.
Well i have performed all the steps found in the tutorial of the SQL Mobile Edition Books Online, and everything went on so fine and smooth. Now when i deploy my application on the Pocket PC emulator all possible SQL queries work and modify the data only in the emulator, i had installed ActiveSync 4.0 and it synchronizes the SQL Mobile data with the SQL Mobile server only when i copy the database from the emulator to my desktop, and this way is not efficient to my project, i need a better way to synchronize the data between the database on the emulator and that on the SQL Mobile Server.
I'll be looking forward to getting your help as soon as possible.
We just upgraded to SQL Server 2005 from SQL Server 2000. The DB was backed up using Enterprise Manager and restored with SQL Server Management Studio Express CTP. Everything went as expected (no errors, warnings, or any other indicator of problems).
The DB resides in a DB Server (Server1) and the application we are running is a Client/Server system where the AppServer resides on Server2.
During the application's operation all read, create, and delete transactions work fine but no update works. When viewing details in Trace Log I see this message after attempting any update:
Could not find server 'Server1' in sysservers. Execute sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers. (7202)
I'm a relative novice on SQL Server and am a complete beginner at SQL, so am looking for a little help.
I currently use a DTS package to perform inserts / updates to a "production" table.
The DTS package transforms a comma separated file into a "temporary" table that is truncated / cleared before the load starts.
The temporary table has a column denoting Insert or Update. The production table is almost identical, however, doesn't contain the Insert / Update column. The DTS package then, depending upon the Insert / Update flag, either inserts data into the production table or updates data in the production table.
When the DTS package has completed, I'd like to be able to run an SQL Query that validates everything in the "temporary" table is identical to that in the "production" table, which it should be.
I have managed to do some queries to verify that everything has loaded / updated i.e. select primary_key from temporary table where primary_key not in (select * from production table), however, what I haven't been able to do is verify that all the columns on the temporary table match the values in the production table (excluding the Insert / Update flag).
I tried concatenating the columns in each table and comparing the concatenated values, however, this failed due to the different data-types, i.e. decimal, text etc.
When one process has one record locked in Update-Mode then an other process can't update any other records on that table with some queries, other queries that access the same records (but with a different WHERE statement) will execute. This problem occurs with SQL Server 2005, but it didn't with SQL Server 2000 (or any other database).
The problem: -Process 1 locks a record in the table, and keeps it in Update-Mode, because the user is editing it. (Using OLEDB Pessimistic Cursor-locking) -Process 2 wants to update an other record, buts gets a "Lock timeout" when using one query but not with another.
For example this query will work : UPDATE gwseqnumber SET nextseqnr = 3 WHERE row_id = 110;
But this qeury will give me a "Lock timeout" : UPDATE gwseqnumber SET nextseqnr = 3 WHERE name = 'REC_2';
But it is the same record!! The record with name = 'REC_2' has the row_id = 110, both values are unique in the table.
The data: The table [gwseqnumber] has the following CREATE statement: CREATE TABLE GWSEQNUMBER ( NEXTSEQNR INTEGER, NAME CHAR (20), ADMINISTRATIONCODE INTEGER, FINDHIGHESTNUMBER CHAR (1), CLOSEDYN CHAR (1), ROW_ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL );
CREATE INDEX KEY_1 ON GWSEQNUMBER (NEXTSEQNR); CREATE UNIQUE KEY_2 ON GWSEQNUMBER (ADMINISTRATIONCODE, NAME, IDENTIFIER); CREATE UNIQUE INDEX KEY_3 ON GWSEQNUMBER (ROW_ID);
Both KEY_2 and KEY_3 are unique, KEY_1 is not.
If I remove the index on the NEXTSEQNR column (the index named KEY_1) then both these queries will work, so it is obviously related to the index. Altough the index is obsolete and can be removed from this table, it should not result in bogus locking errors.
Even when i removed the index not all the queries will work. (With work i mean not run into a locking error, while the record is not even locked.)
Solutions tried: - Set the compaitiblity level of the databsae back to 80 (for SQL Server 2000 compatibility). - I have already tried to disable Page-Locking on all the indexes of this table.
So why does the index lock my updates in SQL Server 2005? And how do i fix it so my database does not run into these locks?
I have got MSSQL 2000 set up on a machine in my rack at my local telehouse, and a web server set up at home on an ADSL line.
Both servers can see (ping) eachother fine , so you can rule out any kind of connectivity issues straight away, but when i try to get my forum to connect to the mssql database using the correct credentials it just fails saying that the credentials are incorrect ot the server does not exist.
I also installed an SQL database tool on my web server (Shusheng SQL Tool) and attempted to connect to my SQL server using that tool, and got the following message: '[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.'
The server is currently using mixed mode authentication (SQL/Windows) and has both TCP/IP and Named pipes enabled.
Is there some kind of 'Enable remote connections' option in SQL? I need to be able to allow connections to my SQL server from any system, anywhere...
Hi. I have been talking with some developers who have built a hosted application supporting multiple customers. Their database approach is to create a new, dedicated database (same schema each time) for every customer that signs-up.
This approach is contrary to typical hosted DB designs that I have delt with -- that is, a single database holding multiple customer information rather than a unique database for each customer.
Does the improved security of a dedicated database out-weigh the additional maintenance requirements?
If anyone has some objective thoughts on this topic, I'd love to hear them.
My boss has asked me to look into this and I haven't been able to find any information on the web. I hope someone can answer this for me. We currently have a single database that is storing all the user information and transactions. Within the same database we are also logging different types of user activity. If both these tables are heavily used, would it make sense to separate it into different database, one for data and one for logging? Is there any pro or cons of having more than one database? Any opinion or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. I'm the closest thing they have to DBA and I'm really new to this. Thanks.
I have a field that contains values such as 8ft , 7ft, 18ft I have a report in reporting services that shows this:
Before Restock After Restock
Date 1/12/2008 8ft 9ft
1/13/2008 10ft 7ft 1/14/2008 5ft 4ft
I want to create a subquery that grabs the before restock and figures out if it sheds the "ft" part of the value, and then put in a where before restock > (greater than) After Restock.
I am basically trying to update a table which reflects account transactions. Accounts get paid in full but occasionally balance payments can be reversed and I want to update the table to show this - I need to show which period the account was previously paid in full.I've created a simplified version of the scenario and below are a couple of examples of things I've tried that do not work. I understand why they do not work but I'm struggling to figure out how to update the 'PeriodPrevPaidInFull' field.
create table Trans ( AccNo int, Transaction_Period_Index int, PeriodOpeningBalance money, DebtBalance money, PeriodPaidInFull int NULL, PeriodPrevPaidInFull int NULL,
I am looking to update a record from a previous row. So if there is a value of total goods in week 1, i want that value to carry forward to the value of goods in week 2. Is there any SQL as an example of the best way to accomplish this? I can query it using lag() which works great but i need the source data itself to update as the end-users are accessing the data via lightswitch, so when they save a change, i want the trigger (or whatever you recommend) to update the source table.
I have a notebook with windows vista ultimate edition. For developement i have Ms visual studio 2005 and sql server 2005(with all the required and latest SPs) on it. For the past few months i have been working on the machine without any hitches. Just 2 -3 days back some windows updates got installed on the machine and guess what!!!!!! the sql server service just stopped working. The service wont start no matter what. I have tried almost solution that i came across on the internet and it wont work out. I unistalled and reinstalled the server as but to no avail. The database engine now wont intall as the sql service wont start during the server installlation.
While browsing through the internet i didnt come across anyone with a similar problem! Am i the first one to be in such a situation give your comments and share any relevant experience.
P.s the windows upgrades installed on the system were all security upgrades so why should they effect the sql server working.
Hello,Can someone point me to getting the total number of inserts and updates on a tableover a period of time?I just want to measure the insert and update activity on the tables.Thanks.- Vish
I'm currently running Windows Vista x64 and SQL server 2005 on an HP laptop with a AMD Turion 64 processor. I've install all of the Windows Vista x64 update so far with no issues. However, I'm unable to install SQL server 2005 SP2 via Windows updates.
I was able to successfully download the service pack with no issues and it is currenly on my machine ready to install. The system does take a check prior to the install process beginning to perform the install.
I continuely get and "Error Code A91" when the install process is running. As a result the install does not complete successfully. When I used the "Get Help" option I get a list of possible error conditions but none of them seem be useful. I checked each one and none of them provide any help with a solution.
I've successful installed SP2 on Vista x32 system with no problem. Is this a "Windows Update" issue?
I have a SQL Server at version Microsoft SQL Server 2012 - 11.0.5343.0 (X64)
May 4 2015 19:11:32 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.3 <X64> (Build 9600: ) (Hypervisor).
I need to apply a cumulative update, either CU2 or CU3 for a third party tool used for monitoring to work. When I try to apply CU2 or any subsequent CU there is nothing that need the update so I cannot advance the version to 11.00.5548.
I have 4 tables with the respective amount of records 1) 6755 2) 2021 3) 2021 4) 355
They all have the same columns. However, they need to be seperate, or at least when I query them. I'll be accessing this database via the web. i was first afraid that a large database would cause major slow down when accessing the db. So I broke it up into 4 tables. If I combined all 4 tables into one large table and just had a column that differentiated the 4, how significant would be the change in speed when accessing the table? It's not a big deal to keep them seperate, its just that when I have to add or remove a column from one table I have to remove it from all the tables. Furthermore, I'm using a module from DEVEXPRESS, don't know if anyone has heard of it, but when you use a gridview, it loads up the entire table even though your paging (which I think is retarded), so for that reason I was afraid it would slow up my access to the db. Any thoughts?
