I'd I have a problem I'd like to post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements
that will create my table and insert data into the table.
I can use the scripting feature in Enterprise Manager to generate CREATE
TABLE scripts.
Is there a script I can run that will generate INSERT statements so I can
include sample data.
Thanks
I have a database which will be generated via script. However there are some tables with default data that need to exist on the database.I was wondering if there could be a program that could generate inserts statments for the data in a table.I know about the import / export program that comes with SQL but it doesnt have an interface that lets you copy the insert script and values into an SQL file (or does it?)
View 7 Replies View RelatedI 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

Hey guys...
I just made a little proc to generate inserts for a given table. Sadly, it contains two cursors... :(

I rememeber they used to have this option to generate data script for the table in SQL 2000, but I can not find it in SQL 2005.
I need to move one table from one database to another, but I need to generate SQL Insert Statements...
Hello All,
How are you guys doing? Hope all is well.
This is my problem...I accidentally deleted a bunch of my SQL scripts and would like to generate the INSERT statements from Management Studio. I am currently using SQLExpress. Is there a way I can accomprish my task? Kindly advise.
Thanks a bunch!

I have an SQL data source on my page and I select "Table". On the next screen I pick the fields I want to show. Then I click the "Advanced" button because I want to allow Inserts, updates and deletes. But its all greyed out abd I can't check this option. The UID in the connection string I am connecting under has the correct permissions in SQL server to do inserts, update and deletes too. Anyone know why it would be greyed out? The connectionstring property in the aspx code is dynamic but this shouldn't be the reason because I have used this before with success
View 2 Replies View RelatedI had to enable identity_insert on a bunch of tables and I have already done that. Now I need to modify my insert into select * from statements to include column list names along with identity columns for select as well as insert statements. The DDL is same but they are both different databases.There are almost 100 tables that it needs to be modified. Is there a way we can generate scripts for insert and select for each individual table along with their column lists including the identity column?

View 3 Replies View RelatedThere is a valuable script out there that will take the rows from a table and display INSERT STATEMENTS.

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.

Hi all,
I have a table which I would like to export to a series of insert statements (in a file maybe). Is this possible somehow?
Alternatively, I could use an existing xml document which contains table metadata (table name, column names,types etc) to transfer data from these particular columns to another database replica.

Hi can anyone help me with the format of my stored procedure below.
I have two tables (Publication and PublicationAuthors). PublicaitonAuthors is the linking table containing foreign keys PublicaitonID and AuthorID. Seeming as one Publication can have many authors associated with it, i need the stored procedure to create the a single row in the publication table and then recognise that multiple authors need to be inserted into the linking table for that single PublicationID. For this i have a listbox with multiple selection =true.
At the moment with the storedprocedure below it is creating two rows in PublicaitonID, and then inserting two rows into PublicationAuthors with only the first selected Author from the listbox??? Can anyone help???ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.StoredProcedureTest2

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?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHello,
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,
I have the following set of Insert Statements that calculates sums for various criteria and inserts a row at a time onto my table.
I have a row for every month starting from January with sums for 4 severity levels. So for 12 months that would be 48 Insert Statements and if I want to do this for 4 different types of [EName] that would be 48 * 4 = 192 Insert Statements. Is there a better way to write this. Thanks for your help

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,
Stefan

I have a question regarding generating SQL script from a database.
If you use SQL Server Management Express, it lets you generate SQL
script that can be used to recreate table structure, stored procedures,
etc. But it does not include the actual data stored in the tables.
Is it possible to export data from tables to SQL insert statements? Got SQL 2005 developer, visual studio 2005, and Visio enterprise architect, if that makes any difference. I already found this tool but it costs money.

I cant really seem to pick up on any paterns for why this would be happening. As a rough guess I'd say it doesnt insert the data 1 out of every 5 times or so it seems. Anyone every have any experience with this? Any comments would be helpful, cuz I'm at a loss.

Is this a limitation of SQL server. I am running a quite complex sp that I wrote which uses exec to execute an SQL string.

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.
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi all,
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.

I have a file with about 600,000 lines of insert statement given to me by a developer.
There are basically 5 inserts into different tables for each Product or Item. Each Insert MUST run in the order specified and must complete before the next insert runs,
To complicate things further, there are triggers that fire on every insert and each trigger must complete its transaction before the next insert starts.
What is the best and most efficient way to run the inserts, while ensuring that each statement completes before the next.
Tried using Serialization but appears some of the transactions overlap and generate errors.
Tried disabling the triggers but run into other problems.
At this point I am tempted to run each statement manually
Thanks All for you help and input.
Good day,
I have seen in Enterprise manager there is a toll that can script the all tables in a database, but nothing that can generate the insert statements for all the rows in each table in a secified database.
Does any one know of a application, plug in, script that can generate the insert statments for all the tables in a database?
Please someone help, this is driving me insane.
