Here is my Requirements: I have a file that has a bunch of INSERT STATEMENTS. So the stuff inside the file looks like the following:
File has about 5000 rows.
INSERT INTO abc ( name ) VALUES ( 'Peter' );

Hi All,
Not sure if this is exactly the place to post this, but here it goes anyways.
I am writing a ASP.Net/C# program and I am interacting with a MS Access database in order to derive data on user login and logout times. Basically, I am trying to create a line graph that will display the number of users over the course of a user specified timespan. Currently, I am doing this by look at the number of users that were logged on during each minute of the timespan.
My database table setup consists of a EmployeeID column (Text), Logon Date (Date/Time), and Logoff Date (Date/Time). I have also created an index on the Logon Date and Logoff Date columns.
In order to view the number of users during a minute of the timespan I use a Jet SQL query of the following format
Code Snippet
SELECT DISTINCT Count (EmployeeID) AS [User Count]
FROM ProgramName
WHERE ([Logon Date] < #August 27, 2007 11:45:00# OR [Logon Date] Is Null) AND ([Logoff Date] > #August 27, 2007 11:45:00# OR [Logoff Date] Is Null)
The problem is that using this method I have to execute 1,440 queries for each day in the timespan. Currently this takes about 25 seconds to execute if the timespan is a full workweek (7,200 queries).
Now the question. Is it possible to create a SELECT statement that will return user counts for multiple minutes? Like maybe a SELECT statement that returns a column of counts for every minute in an hour? If it is possible, does anyone have any examples? I am hoping by lowering the number of queries my program has to execute I will also cut down the time required for the code to run.
I am pretty new to SQL, so any guidance or advice is very appreciated.
Thanks!
I am unable to load data from flat file to sql table using bulk insert sql statement

There is a valuable script out there that will take the rows from a table and display INSERT STATEMENTS.
Good thing is this script converts the data to HEXADECIMAL ( or some other ) and we don't have to worry about dealing with apostrophies embedded in varchar fields.
How to create insert statements of the data from a table for top 'n' rows. I know we can create using generate scripts wizard, but we can't customize the number of rows. In my scenario i got a database with 10 tables where every table got millions of records, but the requirement is to sample out only top 10000 records from each table.
I am planning to generate table CREATE statements from GENERATE Scripts wizard and add this INSERT STATEMENT at the bottom.
EX : INSERT [dbo].[table] ([SERIALID], [BATCHID] VALUES (126751, '9100278GC4PM1', )
I am after T-SQL code which will simply load the next T-log backup file from a network share folder to a warm standby db on a secondary server.What is needed is a Third server (server x), to participate in log shipping (MULTIPLE TARGETS).
Primary SERVER (SERVER A)
Secondary SERVER (SERVER B) Log shipped to via GUI.
THIRD SERVER (SERVER X) which will contain the same log shipped db from server A.
This will simply restore the logs from a network share to keep the db up to date.
Is that possible to load files (*.bmp, *.jpg etc) to table (field type IMAGE) using BULK INSERT?
Or is it better to do it otherwise?
Thanks

I am trying to take an entire MS SQL database and put it in an sql file. I have succesfully copied the tables into an sql file by highlighting the tables in enterprise manager and choosing 'generate sql script'.
That gives me the structure, but now I would like the data (in insert statements). I have looked in enterprise manager's export wizard and sql analyzer to no avail. There seem to be a lot of options for exporting data except this one! Please point me in the right direction.
At the end of the day, I would like to be able to put everything in a text file. Then, should I have problems, I can just copy my text into query analyzer and have a brand new database.
Thank you in advance.
I can't use DTS nor DTSwizard as I need to put it in a .sql and run it through a command line via .bat file (it's more for the users).
Each row ends with an EOL character, the fields are all fixed width, but I have a little problem here, some rows are empty but just with a EOL character.
How shall I go about it?
many thanks! :D
I have been tasksed to create a data table and stored procedure to extract a special formatted XML file that is an attachment with a standard XML envelope. The XML file is an attchment in a node within the XML wrapper. There are other MIME files (pdf's ) that are handle by a seperate procedure. But I need to just extract the XML file attached along with those and put it into the datable with some other PK?FK fields.
Is a blob the best datatype. How to I insert that XML file into it?
Is there a way to open EDI file in SQL Server and insert the data into tables?

Hi guys! I have these commands that insert into two tables, if condition 1 is met, it will insert into the first table, if the second condition is met, it will insert into the second table.
Is there a way for the insert statements to be merged so that I won't be executing two statements?

i'm quite new with sql and i have an question about het insert statements.
Is the order of the insert statements from any importance?
and why is/isn't it?

I need to write some insert statements, 1 per table, ~100 tables, all having the approximante form:
Select Into TableA Select * From TableB
Except that I need explicit statements:
Select Into TableA Col1, Col2, Col3, ... ColN Values ...
The reason is that I need to preserve the current identity values (it's a replication setup scenario). I can set Identity_Insert On, but then it wants the explicit column names and values.
Is there a wizard or utility that will generate the statements for me? With
100 tables in the db, I'm not looking forward to writing it all :-)
TIA,
Arthur

Hello,
I am creating my companys' database and I have a small problem that must be
solved.
I have a pictures table:
PicturesTable
-------------
ProductID int ForeignKey
Picture nvarchar(30)
...
(A product can have many pictures & the ProductID is unique for any product,
but not for the table of pictures).
What I want to do is to somehow do a procedure to:
1) Check if any images (for a productID) exists in the table
2) if they do not exist then add the appropriate images into the table
3) if the images exist, then update the images with the new one that I have.
What I thought was to just delete all the images from the table for the
specific product:
DELETE FROM PicturesTable
WHERE ProductID = '10-11'
and then add the appropriate images:
INSERT INTO PicturesTable (ProductID, Picture)
VALUES ('10-11', 'Dir1/Pic1.gif')
INSERT INTO PicturesTable (ProductID, Picture)
VALUES ('10-11', 'Dir1/Pic2.gif')
INSERT INTO PicturesTable (ProductID, Picture)
VALUES ('10-11', 'Dir1/Pic3.gif')
but I do not like a lot this idea because if a user tries to read the pictures
for that product (at the same time I was deleting them) s/he would get
nothing. Is any other way that I can do it please?
I would appreciate it if someone answers me.
Yours, sincerely

Hi Friends,

Hello,
I would like to get opinions about the code below and what I can do to improve it. I don't know if I am using the best techniques in this code. I am not running into any problems, but I am assuming there has to be cleaner ways of doing this.
Also I am trying to figure out why the INSERT INTO statement in the query is giving me the error:
"The column prefix '#ttsku' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query."
The purpose of the code is to select all the item records from a linked server (Non MS SQL) and bring it into a temp table. I did this because I can't create a cursor to the other DB.
Using this temp table, look if the SKU table has the item in it, if it does then update the record, otherwise I need to create the record and fill in the values from the temp table.
Finally I need to delete any records that don't exist in the temp table.
Here is the code:

Hello all. Got bit of a long winded question here...........so here we go lol.
OK.......ive got data on an Excel spreadsheet. Ive set the spreadsheet up as a linked server and i'm creating a set of insert statements from it by using the following code:
SELECT 'INSERT INTO TRAINREC (COURSE_NAME) VALUES ('''+
EMPLOY_REF + ''', '''+
FROM AtriumDD...['Employee Training Records$']
For most records this generates a correct insert statement.........for example:
INSERT INTO TRAINREC (EMPLOY_REF, COURSE_NAME) VALUES ('153', 'NMA Panel');
However.........my problems start when the value for course name is containes an ' character. If it does the insert statement generated is incorrect. For example:
INSERT INTO TRAINREC (EMPLOY_REF, COURSE_NAME) VALUES ('139', 'Annual Accounting in Lloyd's Market');
can anyone suggest any ideas on how to get round this? Also if i havent explained it clearly enough just let me know and i can try and expand on it.
Thanks for reading.
Hi,
I'm using version 3.5.5386.0 of SqlServerCompact Edition for windows mobile.
My first tests indicates that an insert statement with '?' ist 20 % faster than with '@p1' parameters:
"INSERT INTO Itest(PKey,value1,value2,value3,Date1) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?)"
"INSERT INTO Itest(PKey,value1,value2,value3,Date1) VALUES (@P1,@2,@3,@P4,@P5)"
I've no explanation for that. I reported some problems with the '?' parameters in my other task http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2715685&SiteID=1
So I'm a little bit afraid to use this version.
Is there a recommandation which version to use for Inserts?
Thanks,

Hi,
I want to prepare insert statements for the data of all tables in my database.
I want this to create seed data. Just by using those scripts i can insert the data in another db.
Please suggest ho wto prepare in easy way.
Thanks in advance.
I have an interesting problem. A number of spids are being blocked by a single select statement. The select statement is the same as returned from sp_who2, sysprocesses, sp_whoisactive of dbcc inputbuffer. It is not waiting on anything and has status as sleeping.
Clearly it is not 'just' a sleeping select statement as I can see over a thousand locks held by the spid on 2 user databases and tempdb. I'm working on the theory there is a begin transaction with a bunch of statements and no closing commit. But I want to be able to prove that. How can I show what statements were previously executed as part of this transaction?

View 2 Replies View RelatedOur existing DW's ETL was written in a very complex fashion by the previous team. They use DTS package lookups to read a row in the Source SQL Server database see if that row exists in the taget SQL Server database. If the row does not exist, they use ActiveX scripts to INSERT the row in the target SQL Server database. If it exists, they update the row on the target side. How would you do this in SSIS? Apologize if this sounds like a basic question, however, I would have done this via Stored Procedures or SQL Scripts especially since it involves SQL Servers alone. Appreciate any help.

I am looking to transfer a database to another db but I just need to copy the data (not drop the tables and recreate them). Is this possible?
I was thinking of backing up the database in a set of insert statements in a file and execute this file to get the desired result. Or alternatively, to use a data flow task with multiple tables if possible.
Hope there is a way.
Thanks,
