I have table A with Primarykey column, AId, Identity field.
I have table B with foriegn key column , AId,
I have same number of rows in both tables (over million), but in Table B, column AId is null at present, as it was added later.
Now I need to select all AId values and update them in existing rows.
Any idea, how would my T-SQL look like???
Many Thanks,
Hello!
I´m having some trouble choosing my primary key for a database I´m currently developing. I´m not that experienced with developing databases, although this is not my first.
I have an OrderLookup table, where the PK is the PurchaseOrderID.
I also have an OrderInput table, where the user input will be stored.
The PurchaseOrderID will exist in this table also, and all records
must have a corresponding PurchaseOrderID in the OrderLookup table.
My issue here is that in the OrderInput table, one PurchaseOrderID
can exist many times, so I´m not really sure how to set up my PK for this table.
I´m thinking maybe I should just create an identity column and use as PK,
and have PurchaseOrderID be a FK referencing OrderLookup.
Would that be a good idea? Since like 98% of all queries will have a "where PurchaseOrderID = xxxx", would it be a good idea to move the clustered index from the PK to the FK?
Other thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
Hi all,
Can anyone suggest me on Adding primary key to a table which has already a primary key.

Hello everyone,Small and (I think) very simple quesiton;-) which makes me creazy.Let's say I have two tables listed below:T1====IDX====134T2===============IDD fk_IDX===============A1A2A4B1B3B4C4D1D2D3D4I would like to select from table T2 all distinct records IDD whichhave all of fk_IDX containded in T1.The select statement should return in this case ONLY:B and Dbecasue:B has 1,3,4andD has 1,2,3,4 so it has this combination 1,3,4 contained in the T1also.I've tried to do that with group by, with having, in and it neverworks (I always became all records which one of them is in this T1table).Maybe some one from you did try something like that, and can give afast answer.I will be very greatfullGreatingsMateusz

These aren't my tables, but lets dumb it down for my sake!
I have 2 tables:
CompanyInfo: IDNumber, EffectiveDate, CompanyName
TransacationInfo: TransactID, CompanyID, TransDate, Amount
There are several records in TransactionInfo for each record in CompanyInfo.
I want to:
SELECT CompanyInfo.IDNumber, CompanyInfo.EffectiveDate, CompanyInfo.CompanyName,
SUM(TransactionInfo.Amount)
How can I do this? Can I?
is there some way to allow this to execute, using a function or something?:
select * from 'cusomer'
you see i have a list of about 300 table name in string format, and i want to use a cursor to itterate through each table, but as all the table names are in string format i cant get it done. any ideas??
This is, I'm hoping, a simple thing that I just don't know how to do. But I've searched my books and read a lot of threads but so far, no luck in what I'm trying to do. Here's the basic layout of 2 tables from my d/b (MSDE):
tblCity
cityID (p/k)
stateID (f/k to tblState.stateID)
cityName (varchar 35)
tblStudent
studID (p/k)
cityID (f/k to tblCity.cityID)
hometownID (f/k to tblCity.cityID)
studFName (varchar 25)
studLName (varchar 35)
...
I *hope* that what I tried to do there is allowed. Basically what I'm trying to do is to tie the student to both his current City (by foreign key cityID) and his hometown city (also by foreign key cityID).
So, if New York is (127, 33, 'New York') and Birmingham is (1050, 1, 'Birmingham') (in tblCity), then in the student table (tblStudent), John Smith would be
Quote: 12150, 127, 1050, 'John', 'Smith', ...
How would I format my SQL statement to get both cityNames? I thought this would work
Code:
SELECT s.studID, c.cityID, c.hometownID,
s.studLName + ', ' + s.studFName AS studNameName,
c.cityName, c.cityName AS swapconNum
FROM tblStudent AS s INNER JOIN tblCity AS c
ON (s.cityID = c.cityID)
WHERE s.studID = 12150
Can I do this? If so, what am I doing wrong? Sorry, I'm kinda sorta new to SQL.

I need to add a child table that will tell us who the participants counselor is, what I did was I did a Make Table query based off the primary key of the Parent table and made that the link (foreign key) for the People_tbl and the Counselor_tbl, so if the counselor changes then the user adds the record to the counselor tbl and then puts in the Effective date. The problem is that when I run a report it doesn't show the present counselor always shows the old counselor?
Code:
SELECT Student_ind.StudentFirstName, Student_ind.StudentLastName, Student_ind.[Student ID], People_tbl.[Family ID], People_tbl.FirstName,
People_tbl.LastName, People_tbl.[Parent ID]
FROM People_tbl RIGHT OUTER JOIN
Student_ind ON People_tbl.[Family ID] = Student_ind.[Family ID]
WHERE (People_tbl.LastName = @Enter_LastName) AND (People_tbl.FirstName = @Enter_FirstName)
Previously same records exists in table having primary key and table having foreign key . we have faced 7 records were lost from primary key table but same record exists in foreign key table.

Hi, my sql is not too hot so i hope someone can help me. I need to select all the records from one table that do not exist in 2 other tables. I know it sounds simple enough but for some reason i can not get it working. It may have something to do with the fact that the field i am searching on are datetime fields. Here is a shortened version of my code.
SELECT DateOfStats
FROM table1
WHERE (DateOfStats NOT IN
(SELECT dateofstats
FROM table2)) and (DateOfStats NOT IN
(SELECT dateofstats
FROM table3))
Thanks for the help in advance.
i need to select records from table "A" if only the "PK" of "A" exists in table "B". I need to return a resultset not just a single record. The problem is table "B" is not a table in database instead a user supplied table which can be a datatable in memory.

I was given this query but could not build it successfully.

we have few hundred records in it.
we want to retrieve last 'n' records from table.

I've got an update statement with a subquery (I'll post the code further down) that I need to either make dynamic or do something else to make sure it does what I want.
The query is as follows:-
UPDATE dbo.tbl_Process_List_Control_Table
SET LastUpdateDateTime = (
SELECT ISNULL(MAX([LatestRowUpdateDateTime]), @LastUpdateDateTime)
FROM [wtbl_Process_List_Patient]
)
WHERE ProcessList = @ProcessName
This is a called proc with the following parameters:-
@LastUpdateDateTime is the date of the last record to be loaded
@ProcessName is the name of the process that was started/finished.
I need to make [wtbl_Process_List_Patient] dynamic so it looks at a different table based on a passed parameter.I've tried making the whole thing dynamic but it states I need to declare @LastUpdateDateTime which I can't see how to do as it's already passed to the proc (as is the process name).
Hi
I've created a linked table connection to an external data source within sql server 2005.
The link looks OK, I can see all the tables etc, but I want to create a view on another database to some of the tables on the linked database.
How do I perform something as simple as a select statement as I can't seem to be able to select anything.
Is there something that i need to do first in order to be able to select fields from the linked table?
Thanks

I've got a big problem that I'm trying to figure out:
I have an address table out-of-which I am trying to select mailing addresses for companies UNLESS a mailing address doesn't exist; then I want to select the physical addresses for that company. If I get multiple mailing or physical addresses returned I only want the most recently edited out of those.
I don't need this for an individual ID select, I need it applied to every record from the table.
My address table has some columns that look like:
[AddressID] [int]
[LocationID] [int]
[Type] [nvarchar](10)
[Address] [varchar](50)
[City] [varchar](50)
[State] [char](2)
[Zip] [varchar](5)
[AddDate] [datetime]
[EditDate] [datetime]
AddressID is a primary-key non-null column to the address table and the LocationID is a foreign key value from a seperate Companies table.
So there will be multiple addresses to one LocationID, but each address will have it's own AddressID.
How can I do this efficiently with perfomance in mind???
Thank you in advance for any and all replies...
I have table HITS with columns ID and hitDate and table DATESS with columns startDate and endDate.
I can have alot of entries in the HITS table with hitDate between the times of a startDate and endDate entry in the DATESS table.
What I am trying to do is to select all the ID's of the entries where hitDate is between startDate and endDate. (In the end I would use min and max to get the firt and last hit between those times)
I have tried:
SELECT ID from hits,Datess WHERE hitdate between startDate and endDate
but it does not give the required results. I think the problem is the tables are not related in any way. Is there another way to do this.
Thanks

I have table 1 from which I select some values belonging to users.In table 2 I store tips a user might give: tipid, tiptitle, tiptext,tipcreatedateA user may give more than one tip.But now I want a query that selects the info of a SINGLE user and the LATEST tip he created, so resultset might look like:username lastname sex tiptitle tiptext tipcreatedateSo even though a user might have given more tips, only the latest will be retreived...and thus 1 row for a particular user is returned...How would I construct such a query? The problem is that I want to get exactly 1 row but more than 1 column from the table 2, so I think I cannot use the SQL Server "TOP" command...

I need to select a random record from TABLE. It might look easy with using RAND() function, but the tricky part is that ID's which are the PRIMARY KEY, were assigned as a random number.
So right now ID's in that TABLE look some thing like that: -18745, 45809, 129, -5890023, 487910943, -209, etc...
If any one have any ideas please respond.

Hey all,
I trying to figure out if you can get a list of table names from a particular database by writing a single SQL statement.
E.G. In Oracle, from SQLPlus - you can say:
Select table_name from user_tables;
Is there anything like that SQL that I could run from Query Analyser to get a list of table names from a particular SQL Server database?
Thanks in advance,
Tommy
Hy!
I'm trying to write a query which returns only some rows in my table...
For example :
I want all the rows included between 30 and 50 from table XYZ
(30 and 50 are not keys but really the numbers of records)
Is there someone out there who has a hint for me???
Thank you for your help and sorry for my english!
