SQL Server 2008 :: How To Update Certain Column From All Tables Within DB
Mar 19, 2015
I have a query, I am trying to update a certain column in my query you can see that is hard coded. The column that I am trying to update is "O_Test" I used a select statement trying to figure out how many records that accounts for with the entire database of all the tables. I got 643 records. So I am wondering if there is a way I can update all the columns without looking up each table and updating each one. This Update statement wont work because I am accounting for all records in the DB of all tables associated of what I hard coded
SELECT t.name AS table_name,
SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) AS schema_name,
c.name AS column_name
FROM sys.tables AS t
INNER JOIN sys.columns c ON t.OBJECT_ID = c.OBJECT_ID
WHERE c.name LIKE '%O_Test%'
ORDER BY schema_name, table_name;
I have a table and a specific column inside this table. I know this table is being updated, by using sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats, I was able to determine this, by some process (stored procedure / SQL Job / etc), but the problem is, I am not sure what process is doing it.
How would I search our SQL Server 2008 database to find any process that manipulates this table / column (I only care about Inserts / Updates and Deletes, but do not really care for SELECT).
I ran a db update script to update the datatype for a column from a tinyint to a smallint:
ALTER TABLE MyTable ALTER COLUMN Age smallint
Then I ran another db update script to update the value in these 2 columns:
update MyTable set Age = Age * 12,
However, the second db update script returns the following error:
Msg 220, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Arithmetic overflow error for data type tinyint, value = 1440. The statement has been terminated.
SSMS shows the column with the new data type of smallint. I even restarted SSMS but I still get the error above. 1440 is out of range for a tiny int but should be in range for a smallint. Both scripts need to be executed together in sequence by the release manager.
I am trying to find a way where I can search for a column that is associated in all tables of the database. I have created a query but is not executing correctly.
SELECT t.name AS table_name, SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) AS schema_name, c.name AS column_name FROM sys.tables AS t8 INNER JOIN sys.columns c ON t.OBJECT_ID = c.OBJECT_ID WHERE c.name LIKE '%Status%' ORDER BY schema_name, table_name;
I have a table with 201 columns . I am importing 200 columns from a file using DFT. I want update the 201th column with the fileId of the file that just imported. I am storing the fileId of the file in varFileID .
How do I go back and update the 201th column ( column name sfileId) with the varFileID value?
I can use Execute SQL Task but how will I know it's the records of the files that I just imported not other rows.
I have a table containing records of criminal convictions. There are over 1M records and the only change is additions to the table on a monthly basis. The two columns I need to deal with are convicted.NAME and convicted.DOB
I have a second table that has 2 columns. One is the name of the defendant and the other is the birth date. This would be monitor.NAME and monitor.DOB
There are no primary keys or any other way to join the tables for this search I want to do.
I would like to be able to put a name in the "monitor" table and run a query to see if there is a match in the convicted table.
The problem I am having is middle initials or names. If I want to monitor.name = 'SMITH JOHN' it will return the results fine. The problem I am having is if the conviction is in the database as 'SMITH JOHN T', or 'SMITH JOHN THOMAS'.
How can I use the monitor table with a 'LASTNAME FIRSTNAME' and return results if the convicted table has a middle initial. I tried with a JOIN:
select distinct convicted.* from convicted join monitor on monitor.name like convicted.defendant and monitor.birthdate = convicted.dob
I am trying to join two tables and looks like the data is messed up. I want to split the rows into columns as there is more than one value in the row. But somehow I don't see a pattern in here to split the rows.
This how the data is
Create Table #Sample (Numbers Varchar(MAX)) Insert INTO #Sample Values('1000') Insert INTO #Sample Values ('1024 AND 1025') Insert INTO #Sample Values ('109 ,110,111') Insert INTO #Sample Values ('Old # 1033 replaced with new Invoice # 1544') Insert INTO #Sample Values ('1355 Cancelled and Invoice 1922 added') Select * from #Sample
This is what is expected...
Create Table #Result (Numbers Varchar(MAX)) Insert INTO #Result Values('1000') Insert INTO #Result Values ('1024') Insert INTO #Result Values ('1025') Insert INTO #Result Values ('109') Insert INTO #Result Values ('110')
[Code] ....
How I can implement this ? I believe if there are any numbers I need to split into two columns .
I need to update multiple columns in a table with multiple condition.
For example, this is my Query
update Table1 set weight= d.weight, stateweight=d.stateweight, overallweight=d.overallweight from (select * from table2)d where table1.state=d.state and table1.month=d.month and table1.year=d.year
If table matches all the three column (State,month,year), it should update only weight column and if it matches(state ,year) it should update only the stateweight column and if it matches(year) it should update only the overallweight column
I can't write an update query for each condition separately because its a huge select
If I have a table with 1 or more Nullable fields and I want to make sure that when an INSERT or UPDATE occurs and one or more of these fields are left to NULL either explicitly or implicitly is there I can set these to non-null values without interfering with the INSERT or UPDATE in as far as the other fields in the table?
EXAMPLE:
CREATE TABLE dbo.MYTABLE( ID NUMERIC(18,0) IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, FirstName VARCHAR(50) NULL, LastName VARCHAR(50) NULL,
[Code] ....
If an INSERT looks like any of the following what can I do to change the NULL being assigned to DateAdded to a real date, preferable the value of GetDate() at the time of the insert? I've heard of INSTEAD of Triggers but I'm not trying tto over rise the entire INSERT or update just the on (maybe 2) fields that are being left as null or explicitly set to null. The same would apply for any UPDATE where DateModified is not specified or explicitly set to NULL. I would want to change it so that DateModified is not null on any UPDATE.
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName, DateAdded) VALUES('John','Smith',NULL)
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName) VALUES('John','Smith')
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName, DateAdded) SELECT FirstName, LastName, NULL FROM MYOTHERTABLE
How do I update a table's column, with the values of another tables column where the primary key between is Part_Number? table2 = temp_table Update Actuator_Components Set Scanned_Drawings = table2.Scanned_Drawings
I have multiple product tables with a "ListPrice" column. I want to use a temporary table that contains "ProductID" and "ListPrice" columns and execute a stored procedure that will update the "ListPrice" column in all product tables with the "ListPrice" from temporary table where "ProductID" from temporary table matches "ProductID" in product tables.
I am getting an error importing a csv file both using SSIS and SSMS. The csv is comma delimited with quotes for text qualifiers. The file gets partially loaded and then gives me an error stating The column delimiter for column "MyColumn" was not found. In SSIS it gives me the data row which is apparently causing the problem but when I look at the file in a text editor at the specific row identified the file has the comma delimiter and it looks fine. I am using SQL Server 2008.
I have run into a perplexing issue with how to UPDATE some rows in my table correctly.I have a Appointment table which has Appointment Times and a Appointment Names. However the Name is only showing on the Appt start Time line. I need it to show for its duration. So for example in my DDL Morning Appt only shows on at 8:00 I need it to show one each line until the next Appt Starts and so on. In this case Morning Appt should show at 8:00,8:15, 8:30.
I'm getting the following error message 'An aggregate may not appear in the set list of an UPDATE statement' What is the proper way to carry out an update on aggregates?
I need to update the Denominator column in one row with the value from the Numerator column in a different row. For example the last row in the table is
c010A92NULL
I need to update the Denominator, which is currently NULL, with the value from the Numerator where the MeasureID=c001 and GroupID=A.
I need to write create table statements for the er diagram that I attached. I am new to sql and I have trouble integrating foreign keys with these bigger er diagrams.
These are the tables I need to create: Create Table Author(...) Create Table Writes(...) Create Table Book(...) Create Table Copy(...) Create Table Loan(...) Create Table Customer(...)
I have a table where I would like to update the document number row for 3k rows. The problem I have is that the documents come in sets of two (version 1 and 2) but both have different numbers. Picture it like this below:
DOCNUM: 4445787 Version 1 DOCNUM: 4445790 Version 2
It should be the same docnum (ie 4445787 Version 1, 4445787 Version 2).
The challenge is how can we assign the new docnum for version 1 to be also for version 2 as well. Basically in SQL we need a way to
1. Find a way to distinguish the pair of documents in the target db that are the same even though they have different docnums.
I have a new production server with about 100 jobs on it. These are ETL jobs about half of which are in SSIS packages and half call stored procedures directly. For those calling stored procedures directly, might there be a way to use the system catalog to link the schedule of the job to the table being updated by the procedure? The result is a list of tables (those updated by jobs) and the schedule of when they are updated.

I am new in SQL and i need do a query where I need sum values from 2 tables, when i do it the Sum values are not correct. this is my query
SELECT D.Line AS Line, D.ProductionLine AS ProductionLine, D.Shift AS Shift, SUM(CAST(D.DownTime AS INT)) AS DownTime, R.Category, SUM(Cast(R.Downtime AS INT)) AS AssignedDowntime, CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), D.DatePacked,101) AS DatePacked FROM Production.DownTimeReason R left JOIN Production.DownTimeHistory D
MS SQL 2008.I want to execute a delete query on certain tables in my database to delete some rows in the tables.The tables selected has a certain name pattern (the name ends with "Temp").
So I can do this to get a list of the table names
SELECT name FROM sys.Tables where name like '%Temp'
Now I want to check each table to see if it has a column with the name "DateStamp" and then execute a delete query as follows:
delete form TableName where DateStamp is < '2010-01-01'
In other words I need to iterate through the tables names, How to do this?
In our Production db we have all most all tables have the column created or createdate.
I need to find out all tables without the created or createdate column
SELECT t8.name AS table_name, SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) AS schema_name, c.name AS column_name FROM sys.tables AS t8 INNER JOIN sys.columns c ON t8.OBJECT_ID = c.OBJECT_ID
I have a table of raw data with supplier names, and i need to join it to our supplier database and pull the supplier numbers.
The issue is that the raw data does not match our database entries for these suppliers; sometimes there are extra periods, commas, or abbreviations (i.e. FedEx, FederalExpress, FedEx, inc.) etc. I'm trying to create a query that will search for entries that are similar.
I tried setting a variable to be equal to the raw data field, and then using a LIKE '%@Variable%' to try and return anything that would contain it, but it didnt return any rows.
Below I have a query which list the relations (constraints) between tables.
I want to list all the relations which are visible in the Database Diagrams.
The list is not complete. How do I get a complete list ?
-- -- Query to show the relations (constraints) between tables. -- This does not show the complete list -- SELECT A.constraint_name, B.table_name AS Child, C.table_name AS Parent,
