Table Comparison
Oct 3, 2000Is there a way to compare two similar tables? I'm more interested in finding out if the data content is exactly the same or not between the two tables.
Thanks for your help.

Table Comparison
May 15, 2008Hi,
I have a table in sql server 2000.I delete some rows in the table.I would like to know the differences before & after deletion. Is it possible?
Table Data Comparison
Jan 23, 2003Hi,
Short version:
How would you accomplish comparing ALL the values in two tables wherein the PKs for each table are identical?
Long version:
SQL Server 2000 database with two tables
of identical structure having rows with some new data, some old data.* It's easy to determine which rows are 100% new by
looking for PKs not in the old data.
For the remaining rows, I need to make
certain no rows have been modified.
* Actually, there are hundreds of
pairs of tables as described.
The data comes from flat files, and I'd
rather use the database than Perl in this
case.
I can write code to generate the
list of columns for each table and then
query these as sets. Is there any
other method that might work better?
Table Column Comparison Transform
Jan 25, 2007Is there a transform available which allows you to specify two different tables (same primary key) and compare columns (you identify which column(s) values need to be compared in the transform) between those two tables?
thanks
Comparison Report In Table Or Matrix?
Dec 15, 2007
Hi everybody,
I'm having trouble creating a seemingly simple Comparison report.
I want to be able to create a Table or Matrix that displays the number of items for the Current Year, the Previous Year, and the Difference. I was able to write a script that gives me the count for each item, for each year, as illustrated below:
Item
WhichYear
Count
Apples
Current Year
2
Apples
Previous Year
2
Mangos
Current Year
214
Mangos
Previous Year
204
Oranges
Current Year
13
Oranges
Previous Year
20
Pears
Current Year
19
Pears
Previous Year
50
Strawberries
Current Year
28
Strawberries
Previous Year
40
Ideally, the report Layout look like this, with a column for each year, and a separate column for the difference:
Item
Current
Previous
Difference
Apples
2
2
0
Mangos
214
204
10
Oranges
13
20
-7
Pears
19
50
-31
Strawberries
28
40
-12
Sounds simple enough to me. But when I put it in a Table, I can't get the counts for the Current and Previous Years on one line per item. They end up broken down into two lines (as illustrated in the first chart). When I try to add a grouping, it somehow holds onto the Current Year numbers and ignores the Previous Year numbers. When I put it in a Matrix, I can't seem to write a simple calculation, like finding the Difference between the two columns. Can I add a non-pivot row or column to the matrix?
I know this is a very general question... Any idea on whether I should go for a Table or a Matrix or another approach, like a summary table?
Thank you very much in advance,

Transact SQL :: Compare Two Table With Multiple Date Comparison
Oct 20, 2015I need to take all records from table @A where ID = 1. Also i need to process the records with datewise from table @A. Here is the table structure

how to achieve this in SQL query, i cannot use CTE or temp table as i need to use this code in another tool, it has to be single query, can use subquery or join would be better.
SQL Server 2012 :: Derived Table To Extract Value Of Account For Comparison
Nov 2, 2014In my TSQL code i use a derived table to extract the value of account 321 to compare if they are the same that the SUM of my line invoice cost multiply by quantity line : Sum(fi.ecusto*qtt)
This is my script:
SELECT ft.ndoc [Doctype],ft.fno [Docnr] , Sum(fi.ecusto*qtt) [totalcostof my Invoiceline], xctb.conta [accountancy account],
sum(Case when ft.tipodoc = 1 then Xctb.ecre else Xctb.edeb end) as [Value of Cost of invoice in accountancy],
[DIF] = Sum(fi.ecusto*qtt) - Sum(Case when ft.tipodoc = 1 then xctb.ecre else xctb.edeb end)
[Code] ....
My problem is if i have more than on line on my invoice, for example 2 lines, the value of column [Value of Cost of invoice in accountancy] are duplicated, for 3 line invoice the value are multiply by 3.

SQL Date Comparison
Jun 27, 2000Hi...
I have a problem comparing dates in SQL Server 7.
I want to find results where date1 = date2.
I am having problems becausing SQL is also trying to compare the time which
is included in the field value e.g. 03/04/00 12:01:32
So even if the dates are equal the time may be different so the results are not shown?
I've tried SUBSTRING, and CONVERT,CAST etc.. and still can't get it to work
Any ideas???
Thanks.

Date Value Comparison
Oct 23, 2003Good day,
I am receiving garbage data from my other department as follows.
I want:
'12/05/03' for example.
I get:
'//'
'00/00/00'
And other garbage. All of which crashes the transaction because it cannot be converted to Datetime.
What I would like to do is something like this:
IF @v_date > '01/01/50'
BEGIN <-- statement will crash if bad data)
Something to trigger a Boolean (True/False) validation of the data.
I want to know if it is even a date before I run it through my block.
Any thoughts?
I don't want to add a new IF block for every bizarre thing they send me.
Thanks ahead of time.
PS - I guess I could just raise an exception and handle it in a block that way, but am still curious.
Comparison Between Columns.
Dec 11, 1998Hi friends,
How can I do, in one Trigger, to returns if two columns, one of the Inserted and other of the Deleted, are differents ? I used this example:
If ( select Name from inserted ) !=
( select Name from deleted )
Insert Into Log_System
( Key_Mame, User_Name, Date, Field, Value, Table_Name )
Select 'COD. PROD: ' + Convert( char(10), I.Cod_Prod ),
SUSER_NAME(), GetDate(),
'Name', Convert(Char(255), D.Name ),
Convert(Char(255), I.Name), 'U', 'PRODUCTS'
From Inserted I, Deleted D
But, if one of them is Null, then the comparison result returns FALSE.
Examples:
1 - If in the Table are keeped null and the new value is different of Null
the comparison result returns FALSE.
2 - If in the Table are keeped a value and the new value is null the
comparison result returns FALSE too.
Excuse me, my English is not currently.
Thanks !
Rodney.
String Comparison
May 15, 2001Hi,
Assuming a table with a column defined char or varchar.
I have a SQL query like this :
Select * from table1 where column1='Building'
It returns the same result that
Select * from table1 where column1='BUILDING'
It is my understanding SQL Server (verison 7 or 2000, I tried on both) is lower/capital insensitive by default when it is installed. If I want SQL Server to be case-sensitive with my char or varchar columns, where can I set it?
Is it at database level or server level I can find this setting . What is the setting that control it?

Like Comparison Problems
Jan 12, 2006Hello im trying to run a simple query where i compare something simple like BEARING to a field in the database using this query.
Code:
SELECT table1.STK_NO, table1.STK_NO2
FROM table1
WHERE (LEN(CLEANSED_REF)>2)
AND ('BEARING' LIKE '%'+table1.CLEANSED_REF+'%')
Inside the table i can see the CLEANSED_REF field and its value is "000BEARINGBRNG000". When i run the query i get no records returned.
But if i run
Code:
SELECT table1.STK_NO, table1.STK_NO2
FROM table1
WHERE (LEN(CLEANSED_REF)>2)
AND (table1.CLEANSED_REF LIKE '%BEARING%')
The query returns the row i wanted. Can anyone tell me why this wont work the first way, but works the second?

Date Comparison
Dec 28, 2005I have two tables that I am needing to link by the tables date field. In one table the date field is defined as varchar(23). The time for this field is always zeros.
Example: '2005-12-27 00:00:00.000'
The other table is defined as datetime, and it does have the date and time in this field.
Example: 2005-12-27 08:00:35.000
The problem i am having is
2005-12-27 00:00:00.000 does not = 2005-12-27 08:00:35.000.
Because I will never have more than one record on the same date I would like to be able to only compare the date. Example 2005-12-27 = 2005-12-27
Since the fields are 2 different field types, this is giving me a problem. Could someone please help. I have tried everything I know to do.
What I really need is the a way to format the datetime fields date into a string such as '2005-12-27'.
Hopefully what i have written makes sense.
Thanks
Database Comparison
Oct 4, 2006I had an application go down yesterday...it was giving a Type Mismatch error and the support team couldn't figure it out.
My suspicion is that a field in the database got populated with a character the vb app didn't like when it renders the information.
I'd like to prove that theory...but the database is large (4gb) and I'm not sure how to do a database comparison to see where the records differ.
Anybody have a script to get me started OR some experience to share?
Thanks,

Comparison Of 2 Tables
Jul 13, 2013I am doing this 2 queries, they get data from the same tables in a very different way. The new way is a lot faster but of course there are problems. There are some discrepancies in the results. Both queries produce results with more than 200.000 rows. Second one has ca. 100 rows less than the first one and some of the results are wrong (most are correct though).
My question is how do I find the differences. I did the left outer join when column a.result != b.result (lines are defined by date and ID so they should be unique).but the join gives me problematic results (some are not different at all, some differences are not in the result).so how do I find the differences between 2 queries, including missing results/rows?
Data Comparison

EmpId is the unique field.Other than this field, other fields of Excel may have modified data.Ineed to compare the data from SQL Server table with Excel Data.I decided to write a VB Program having two recordsets,one for SQLServer and other for Excel and compare each field's value. If themodified value is found then update that to table. Is there any way tocompare in SQL Server itself?Madhivanan

Dec 29, 2005As many of you know I've been hunting down a SQL CE alternative / embedded DB that is easily portable among handhelds.
It turns out, that without paying for some other DB, there really aren't any good ones... Unless you go GPL, and the interpretation of GPL that most are using is that your code too is GPL even though you may only Dynamically Link to their app. I think this is likely wrong, but none the less I'm back here yet again.
What I'm looking for this time is a definition of how SQL Server CE is implemented, how it differs from a full blown DB, etc, so I can more thourally explain "why SQL CE" is an embedded DB, and how it isn't the full blown SQL Server that has a bad reputation with some.
My guess is:
SQL Server CE is implemented via DLL. There aren't sockets etc to allow you to connect, and it operates more like an advanced hash on the file system.
Please correct me if i'm wrong, or... send me a link where I can further research. Also, if you have another embedded DB as a suggestion, that's free of course, please point it my way.
Thanks!

Comparison Query
Aug 24, 2007Hi guys,
I'm trying to do a comparison of 2 data sets. Basically what I want is: 'where event date from event number -24 is earlier than the event date for event number -13'
To get the eventdate for the eventno's, I have the following 2 queries:
select eventdate
from caseevent, cases
where eventno = -24
select eventdate
from caseevent, cases
where eventno = -13
So what i'm trying to say is: I want it so that the value of the first query is compared to be LESS than the value of the second query...
Any help please????
Thank you!
