I've got a query that returns the data I need. I want to put the query in a stored procedure such that, when the SP runs I get a pipe delimited text file on disk. I don't really want to mess with SSIS, etc. Is there a Q&D way to do this?
I'm working of a project that has each row of column data stored in this format: AAChieve Initiative - Business Development Consultant|Marketing|4F|210710 Is there a way I can break this rows apart with TSQL based of the | symbol? Thanks in advance!
I have a problem with a PIPE "|" delimited flat file. I have a column "Description" in which we get a string in which we have PIPE "|" as data. How we can skip this and load it as a data into the column Description.
We have a database where many tables have a field that has to be lengthened. In some cases this is a primary key or part of a primary key. The table in question is:-
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] Script Date: 09/25/2014 14:05:09 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO SET ANSI_PADDING ON GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd](
[Code] ....
The script I am using is
DECLARE@Column varchar(100)--The name of the column to change DECLARE@size varchar(5)--The new size of the column DECLARE @TSQL varchar(255)--Contains the code to be executed DECLARE @Object varchar(50)--Holds the name of the table DECLARE @dropc varchar(255)-- Drop constraint script
[Code] ....
When I the the script I get the error message Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
Looking at the strings I build
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] DROP CONSTRAINT PK_DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] Alter Column [Patient System Number] varchar(10) ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] ADD CONSTRAINT PK_DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED ([Patient System Number] ASC,[Episode Number] ASC,[CensusDate] ASC) WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
They all seem fine except the last one which returns the error
Msg 8111, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot define PRIMARY KEY constraint on nullable column in table 'DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd'. Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 1 Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
None of the fields I try to create the key on are nullable.
I have a script that loops through a series of tables to send data to a table from each of the tables. My issue is that not all tables have the columns I need in them. What I would like is to replace the column with another column when it does not exist. Something like below
Select Misisng_Column(A.Name, replace with B.Name) as Name FROM SomeTable A Cross Join (Select Name FROM AnotherTable) B
AnotherTable has one record in it. To avoid a Cartesian issue. Like I said just an example
In my real script the table aliased as A is from a list of tables in a sys.tables query that loops through to the end.
I have a table with Million plus records. Due to Running Totals article, I have been able to calculate the Trial_Balance for all months.
Now I am trying to provide a Beginning Balance for all months and the Logic is the Beginning Balance of July would be the Trial_Balance of June. I need to be able to do this for multiple account types. So the two datasets that need to be included in logic is actindx and Calendar_Month.
For actindx of 2 and Calendar_Month of 2014-01-01The Trial_Balance_Debit is 19585.46 This would make the Beginning_Balance of actindx 2 and Calendar_Month of 2014-02-01 19585.46
I am trying to do some type of self join, but not sure how to include each actindx number differently.
Table creation and data insert is below.
SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO
SET ANSI_PADDING ON GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TrialBalance]( [Trial_Balance_ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
With cte_table (columna) As (select a from cust) Update columna Set a = 'hello'
Question: would a in cust be updated even though the update is to the CTE column named columna? Or would there be an error where the column name must match?
I have to populate a table of exchange rates which is easy enough however because rates are held on Fridays but I need to make calculations on weekends or holidays I need to populate the Friday rate on non weekends and holidays. I have a sample table below with null values on the weekends for the last 90 days but need a script that will show the Friday exchange rate on Saturday and Sunday
Here was my latest attempt
;with cte as ( select currxdate, [from], [TO], CurrXRate from dbo.CurrXchange ) select a.CurrXDate, a.[From],a.[To] , isnull(a.CurrXRate, b.currxrate) as 'CurrXRate'
i need distinct max between a1&a2 which i can get no problem but i cant get that unique datetime that correspond to a1&a2 in 1 query because this is will a subquery in a big query. Creating another temp table etc is not an option for me. for every specific a1 there is many entries of a2 + timedate etc.
create table abc_test ( id int ,runs int ,date1 datetime
[code]....
I can either get distinct ID + latest date or ID + largest #ofRuns, both will do but also need the third column.
What I want to do is add a column that has 5 values and create a row for each value
I want it too look like this -
024Swanson, Ronrswanson@tv.com a 024Swanson, Ronrswanson@tv.com b 024Swanson, Ronrswanson@tv.com c 024Swanson, Ronrswanson@tv.com d 024Swanson, Ronrswanson@tv.com e
[Code] ....
Currently all my query looks like is this -
SELECT EmpID, LastFirst, Email FROM dbo.EmpList WHERE (Active = 1)
I have table1 with col1 varchar,col2 int , col3 xml , col4 bit ...best way to fetch the col3 into file (.txt or .sql) into seprate file for each col3 record . I want to export this in different files for each record if possible with date and time stamp .
Now for columns Week1 to week3 if value is 0 then i want to display by searching next week value, if it is also 0 then go for next week and if value found there then display instead of zero. so my output would be as below instead of above.
I have a date column with 1900-01-01 value, I am trying to get the min(date) without 1900-01-01.My problem here is: there are some records with both 1900-01-01 and real date. How do I get the MIN of the real date without getting 1900-01-01. Below is my query sample.
CASE WHEN MIN(CAST(PROJECTEDSTARTDATE AS DATE)) = '1900-01-01' THEN NULL ELSE MIN(CAST(PROJECTEDSTARTDATE AS DATE)) END as 'ProjectStartDate'
With Item as( Select 1 as ItemId,'ItemName1' as ItemName,100 as position union all Select 2 as ItemId,'ItemName2' as ItemName,200 as position union all Select 3 as ItemId,'ItemName3' as ItemName,300 as position union all Select 4 as ItemId,'ItemName4' as ItemName,400 as position union all Select 5 as ItemId,'ItemName5' as ItemName,500 as position union all Select 6 as ItemId,'ItemName6' as ItemName,600 as position union all Select 7 as ItemId,'ItemName7' as ItemName,700 as position),
Mapping as ( Select 1 as Parent, 2 as child union all Select 1 as Parent, 3 as child union all Select 1 as Parent, 4 as child union all Select 5 as Parent, 6 as child union all Select 5 as Parent, 7 as child )Expected Result:
How to merge the data from one database to another if we have identity column on both the database. If we are merging two companies,we need employee table of 2 database and insert them into first database and corresponding fkey tables say some 7 tables.how to merge if the table is having identity column.
The 2 digit number that appears on line 1, 7 and 13 (only in this example) i need to have added to the begin of each value below it until the next 2 digit number is encountered. The desired result set would look like:
Below SQL gives the results of 2 columns and I need the DepartmentandDate column to be ORDER BY on date desc for that CID. Expected result is in the screenshot(attachment)...
IF OBJECT_ID('Tempdb..#tTable') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #tTable CREATE TABLE #tTable(CID INT, CDate DATETIME, Dept VARCHAR(25)) INSERT INTO #tTable(CID, CDate, Dept) VALUES (111, '2014-01-14 00:00:00.000','B is alphabet'),
We have an application which has had a big design floor and is now causing an issue which needs to be rectified. It inserted data in batches of 2000 rows which should have always been in sequence. A column was used which recorded an ever increasing numerical value for each row that was inserted. So batch 1 would have a start value of 1 and an end value of 2001. Batch 2 would have a start value of 2002 and an end value of 4002 etc.
The problem is the application which inserted these records in order, missed some records. So in actual fact we have:
Now the missing data has been found, it will be inserted at the end of the table, as we cannot insert it where its should be as the sequence value has been used by the next batch already. Lets say the table is 10,000 rows so far, so the seq for batch 2, for example, will be 2002-3998, then after the missing data is inserted, 10,001 - 10,005. The application uses these sequences to show the range of data so where it should be 2000 rows being returned, it would now show 8003 rows - all the other batches between the first and last sequences for the batch!
I need to change the sequence values across the whole table so they are in order. I can select the data in the correct sort order as there is another unique key on the table, but unsure how best to use this to change the sequence column to be in order for all rows. Adding an identity column would work and then remove and rename the seq column, but I obviously cannot add this based on another columns sort order. The identity column would use the clustered key which is in the incorrect order!!
