I have system id information in table system_ids and productids and systemidinsformation has lot of data but I am looking two strings in tire data to pull into two separate columns. details below
Database versions :ms sql 2008/2012 tablename:system_id's column:system id information
sample data from system_id_information column
######################################## <obj xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="urn:vim25" versionId="5.5" xsi:type="ArrayOfHostSystemIdentificationInfo"><HostSystemIdentificationInfo xsi:type="HostSystemIdentificationInfo"><identifierValue> unknown</identifierValue><identifierType><label>Asset Tag</label><summary>Asset tag of the system</summary><key>AssetTag</key></identifierType>
[Code] .....
I am looking output of two columns, which are bolded
product_id snumber 654081-B21 MXQ43905SW
for serial number this is common
before string :HostSystemIdentificationInfo"><identifierValue>
and after string </identifierValue><identifierType><label>Service tag
and snumber is always between the before and after string and number of characters of snumber varies and entire data for a row also varies
All the column names in upper case are actually symptom names, and in those columns are values {NULL, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} and they belong in a column, so the normalized structure should be like this:
CREATE TABLE Symptom ( PatientID INT NOT NULL, Cycle TINYINT NOT NULL, SymptomName VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, -- from the source column *name* Grade TINYINT NOT NULL -- from the value in the column with the name in uppercase PRIMARY KEY (PatientID, Cycle, SymptomName));
I can untwist the repeating groups with the code I borrowed from Kenneth Fisher's article [ here ], but the part I'm having a harder time with is grabbing the information that's still left in the column name and integrating it into the solution...
I can retrieve all the column names that are in uppercase using this:
DECLARE @db_id int; DECLARE @object_id int; SET @db_id = DB_ID(N'SCRIDB'); SET @object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'SCRIDB.dbo.BadTox'); SELECT name AS column_name , column_id AS col_order FROM sys.all_columns WHERE name = UPPER(name) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS AND object_id = @object_id;
but I can't figure out how to work it into this (that I built by mimicking Kenneth Fisher's article...):
ALTER PROC [dbo].[UnpivotMaxGradeUsingCrossApply] AS SELECT PatientID , Toxicity , MAX(Grade) AS MaxGrade
[code]....
The problem is that I need to extract the column names (where ToxicityName[n] would be). I can do that by querying the sys.all_columns view, but I can't figure out how to integrate the two pieces. About the only thing I have even dreamed up is to build the VALUES(...) statements dynamically from the values returned by the system view.
So how do I get both the value from the ToxicityName[n] column and the column name into my final data query?
I have created some dynamic sql to check a temporary table that is created on the fly for any columns that do contain data. If they do the column name is added to a dynamic sql, if not they are excluded. This looks like:
If (select sum(Case when [Sat] is null then 0 else 1 end) from #TABLE) >= 1 begin set @OIL_BULK = @OIL_BULK + '[Sat]' +',' END
However, I am currently running this on over 230 columns and large tables 1.3 mil rows and it is quite slow. How I can dynamically create a sql script that only selects the columns in the table where there is data in a speedier manner. Unfortunately it has to be on the fly because the temporary table is created on the fly.
We are storing changed data of tables into XML format for auditing purpose. The functionality is already achieved. We are using FOR XML Path clause to convert relational data of tables into XML format.
Now, a table is having column name with '(' . For example name of the column is, ColumnName(). In this case we can not convert into XML using For XML clause. Showing error as,
Column name 'columnName()' contains an invalid XML identifier as required by FOR XML; '(' (0x0028) is the first character at fault.
Need to change the datatype of existing column which has huge data.
I'm performing below steps
1. Create new column with correct datatype in the same table 2. copy data into new column 3. drop indexes on column 4. <<<>>> now the existing column also has many SP dependent and I do not wish to drop them. 5. rename existing column to xxx 6. rename new column to correct column 7. drop old column 8. make required indexes
Currently I have a column with multiple postcodes in one value which are split with the “/” character along with the corresponding location data. What I need to do is split these postcode values into separate rows while keeping their corresponding location data.
I'm moving data from one database to another (INSERT INTO ... SELECT ... FROM ....) and am encountering this error:
Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 6 Error converting data type varchar to numeric.
My problem is that Line 6 is:
set @brn_pk = '0D4BDE66347C440F'
so that is obviously not the problem and my query has almost 200 columns. I can go through one by one and compare what column is int in my destination table and what is varchar in my source tables, but that could take quite a while. How I can work out what column is causing the problem?
I got a sales cost and cost amount table for my budget. the sales cost table is getting updated with FOBB items which makes the total incorrect . the FOBB values needs to be moved from the sales cost column to the cost amount column. how can i do it with an SQL script.
I have a student table like this studentid, schoolID, previousschoolid, gradelevel.
I would like to load this table every day from student system.
During the year, the student could change schoolid, whenever there is a change, I would put current records schoolid to the previous schoolid column, and set the schoolid as the newschoolid from student system.
My question in my merge statement something like below
Merge into student st using (select * from InputStudent ins) on st.id=ins.studentid
When matched then update
set st.schoolid=ins.schoolid , st.previouschoolid= case when (st.schoolid<>ins.schoolid) then st.schoolid else st.previouschoolid end , st.grade_level=ins.grade_level ;
My question is since schoolid is et at the first line of set statement, will the second line still catch what is the previous schoolid?
1 ,AU-Australia 1,MM-Myanmar 1,NZ-New Zealand 1,PG-Paua New Guinea 1,PH-Phlippines
Note: we are getting source data from sqlserver tables.
I googled and found below way but did't get the output as required
SELECT A.id, a.country, Split.a.value('.', 'VARCHAR(500)') AS String FROM (SELECT id, country , CAST ('<M>' + REPLACE(country, ' ', '</M><M>') + '</M>' AS XML) AS String FROM #t3) AS A CROSS APPLY String.nodes ('/M') AS Split(a);
We have a typical issue with Column Store Index, we have a procedure which does 2 activities - Switch & Reverse Switch
Switch: 1. Fetch the Partitions needed to be switched 2. Switch the data from Main Table to Switch table 2. Disable the Column store on Switch table
SSIS Package: 3. Load data to Switch (Insert / Update)
Reverse Switch: 4. Enable the Switch 5. Switch back the data from Switch table to Main table
Issue: Some time the Column store is not getting disabled, and the package fails complaining try disabling the Column store index and try loading data.
If we re-run the procedure, the column store gets disabled.
This should be a really simple, straight forward query, but apparently it's not. The error I get is "Invalid column name 'A'. I've put it in quotes and not in quotes and I left spaces around the equal sign and I've eliminated them. What's wrong with the SELECT statement below?
SELECT * from firms WHERE firm_id= 100002 AND active_firm = 1 AND firm_id != 100092 AND trust_id = A;
I have two tables namely lu_parameter and tbl_param_values. The lu_parameter table consists of param_id and parameter column containing id numbers for the parameter names.
I want to join these two tables so that in the result query instead of param_id value as column heading, I need to have the parameter value as the column heading.
Hi everyone,I encountered an error "Need to run the object to perform this operationCode execution exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" When I try to import data from Oracle to MS SQL Server with EnterpriseManager (version 8.0) using DTS Import/Export Wizard. There are 508 rowsin Oracle table and I did get first 42 rows imported to SQL Server.Anyone knows what does the above error message mean and what causes therest of the row failed importing?Thanks very much in advance!Rene Z.--Posted via http://dbforums.com
I am trying to generate a @StartDate and @EndDate. The @StartDate would be the 1st of January and the year is dependent on the @EndDate.
The @EndDate would be select max(DateValue) from dbo.testtableThe column DateValue in the testtable contains dates such as 2013-12-09, 2013-12-15.
What I am trying to accomplish is if the @EndDate is populated by select max(DateValue) from dbo.testtable returns '2013-12-15' as the max(DateValue). I want the @StartDate to '2013-01-01' because the year of the EndDate is 2013.
So something along the lines of @StartDate = DateAdd(yy,?,@EndDate)
I need to round UP values but they should never be rounded down, below is my expected output in RoundVal column.
SELECT 89 AS Val, 100 AS RoundVal UNION ALL SELECT 329, 1000 UNION ALL SELECT 6329, 10000 UNION ALL SELECT 43299, 100000 UNION ALL SELECT 155329, 1000000
Is there a way in SQL server to alias column names for a particular table and store the aliases somewhere such that you can access the aliases while querying? I have a table where I cannot change column names and I am trying to figure out if there is a way to alias them to make them more user friendly.
Table A IdName 101Dante 102Henry 103Harold 104Arnold
Table B NumberName 102Dante 107Gilbert 109Harold 110Arnold 106Susan 112Marian
I want the result in table 3 like below, if value exists in Table A and not exists in Table B then the record should enter in table 3 with table name in new column, and vice versa.
Table C Col1Col2 HenryTable A Gilbert Table B Susan Table B Marian Table B
using below logic to get the values from tables..
select t1.columnA , t2.* from table1 t1 join table2 t2 on t2.columnB = t1.columnA
