Table Copy/Append/Update Question

Feb 23, 2008

I have a series of .csv files created by a parts system. The .csv filename is in the format partnumber.csv The csv file contains a date column and 6 other fields. Each csv file is about 4000 records and there are approx 7000 .csv files that get re-generated once a week.

I'm using c# SqlBulkCopy object to import the csv file into a temp table. No problem there. It works realy fast.

What I need now is a way to move the data from the temp table to the final table and append the partnumber. I'm thinking it would be easy to pass the partnumber in as a paramerter to a t-sql query but not sure how to write the query itself.
I also want to check if the partnuber/datestamp combination from the temp table already exists in the final table and skip it if it does. So I suppose I ultimately need an update query.

Once I have that query written it's easy to import a .csv, launch the update query, wipe the temp table and repeat with the next .csv file.

Temp Table Layout: DateStamp(datetime), Field1 ... Field6(all real's)
Final Table Layout: PartNumber(varchar), DateStamp(datetime), Field1 ... Field6(all real's)


TIA.

Basic Table Update/append Question

May 12, 2004

I'm new to SQL server. I want to add or append a unique set of rows to a destination table from a source table, they are essentially the same table by definition. The source table is updated every hour via DTS, all rows deleted and new set added. Both tables have the same primary key. Approximately 40 unique rows are created each hour and I would think the best approach would be to append the new rows to the destination table. I think an Append query will run into a primary key conflict.

In Access, I did this within VB by checking the max value of the primary key and then running the append for any values greater than that.

In SQL, I'm not sure if this should be done as a stored procedure or if there is an easier approach altogether.

Single Query To Update And Append

May 5, 2004

I need to write a single query that will append the values from one table into another table but I need to update a single field in the table with a static value. What I'm working with is an Access .adp with an SQL 2000 backend. The database is used to track ticket sales, payments, and contact info for season ticket holders. Prior to upsizing, each year the database would be copied and then choice bits modified for the next year.

In other words, the history was in several databases, i.e. db2001, db2002, db2003 and for the current year dbcurrent. I decided to create a historic tables in the current DB rather than have umpteen DBs on my SQL server.

My problem is that I need to create a query that appends to my table the previous years data and then updates the season field to reflect the season that the data came from.

In short, say I have a table named accounts
with fields
account, customer, addr1, addr2, ..., ticket type
and I want it to end up in
account_hist with fields
account, customer, addr1, addr2, ..., ticket type, SEASON
and make the season equal say 8 which represents the 8th season the team has played.
I can get both queries to work seperately :D , but for end user ease, I want to perform both actions at the same time :confused: .
Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Batch File To Copy File And Append Date

Jan 5, 2005

The Sql Server database can only see the local drive.

I would like to set up a batch file that will copy a SQL Server

backup file from the local drive to the network drive. I would

like to append the file date to the end of the copied file. I

assume a batch file can accomplish this but I am new to batch

file writing. Does anyone have code that they already created

for this sort of task??

Append Query From Access Table To Linked SQL Server Table Failing

Jun 18, 2004

Strange one here - I am posting this in both SQL Server and Access forums

Access is telling me it can't append any of the records due to a key violation.

The query:

INSERT INTO dbo_Colors ( NameColorID, Application, Red, Green, Blue )
SELECT Colors_Access.NameColorID, Colors_Access.Application, Colors_Access.Red, Colors_Access.Green, Colors_Access.Blue
FROM Colors_Access;

Colors_Access is linked from another MDB and dbo_Colors is linked from SQL Server 2000.

There are no indexes or foreign contraints on the SQL table. I have no relationships on the dbo_ table in my MDB. The query works if I append to another Access table. The datatypes all match between the two tables though the dbo_ tables has two additional fields not refrenced in the query.

I can manually append the records using cut and paste with no problems.

I have tried re-linking the tables.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Brad

Append Query To Insert 80000 From One Table To Empty Table

Jul 22, 2012

All, Using access 2003 frontend and sql server 2008 backend. I have an append query to insert 80000 from one table to an empty table. I get an error:

"Microsoft Office Access set 0 field(s) to Null due to a type conversion failure, and didn't add 36000 record(s) to the table due to key violations, 0 record(s) due to lock violations, and 0 record(s) due to validation rule violations."

I know this error normally comes if there are dups in a field that doesnt allow.

How To Append Records Of One Table To Another?

Oct 11, 2004

Hi I have a table with the following structure:

Table1
-------
Dept
Filed1
Filed2
Field3
Field4
Field5

I have another table with the following structure
(Basically this table will contain a subset of coloumns of Table1)

Table2
-------
Dept
Field1
Field2

Now using a query I would like see all the records with all coloumns in Table1 plus all the records in Table2 appended

i.e
if Table1 row is

IT F1 F2 F3 F4 F5

and if Table2 row is

IT F11 F22
Sales F12 F23

I would like to see a result set with the following structure

Resultset

IT F1 F2 F3 F4 F5
IT F11 F22 NULL NULL NULL
Sales F12 F23 NULL NULL NULL

Can some body explain me how to do this with a query. I tried using union but it requires identical coloumns on both ends( Ofcourse, we can acheive this by having Field3,Field4 and Field5 as blank columns in Table 2 but I don't wanna do that as my original tables are too huge to handle this).

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks,
Sai

Using A Web Form To Append A Record To A SQL Table

Dec 30, 2006

How to I make it so that a Authenticated User to a website can append a record to a SQL table.  I have watched the video on the asp.net website about using database on a web, it shows how to allow a user to change a record in a database, but nothing I have seen so far shows how they can append a record.
 
What I am trying to do:  I am building a website for a ATV club using Visual Studio 2005 and c#.  I am setting up users or members on the site (club members will have a user account, while all others will be un-authenticated users.  I am setting up a classifieds area where members can post items for sale, items they are looking for, etc. 
 
I am planning to use roles to allow authenticated users access to a webpage located in a restricted directory.  There I want to place a XHTML page which would allow the users to post their classified ads for free.  I will have another page that will allow everyone to view the ads not just club members.  I want to make this as easy to maintain as possible.   I don’t plan on having all the postings come through me to be placed on the web, I want it all automated.

Append Only Unique Records In SQL Table

Nov 23, 2007

I have a stored procedure that appends data from a temp table to a destination table.  The procedure is called from an aspx web page. The destination table has an index on certain fields so as to not allow duplicates.
The issue I'm having is if the imported data contains some records that are unique and some that would be duplicate, the procedure stops and no records are appended. How can I have this procedure complete it's run, passing over the duplicates and appending the unique records? Since the data is in a temp table (which gets deleted after each append) should I run some sort of 'find duplicates' query, and delete the duplicates from the temp table first, then append to the destination table?
Thanks in advance.SMc

Empty A Table Before Using DTS To Append Records?

Jul 20, 2005

In Access I have a macro that, each night, takes a table with aprimary key defined in it, and deletes all the rows. Then itimports/appends records from a fixed width text file. In this way,since the table is not deleted and recreated, the primary key is keptintact.What would be the equivalent SQL method for doing this in an automatedway? I've tried letting DTS import the table from Access, but theprimary key is lost. Is there some way to "empty" a table instead ofdropping it, and then append new records so that the table will end uphaving the primary key I want it to have?Thanks.Larry- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -"Forget it, Jake.

How Can I Append Only New Rows In A Table Using SSIS?

Aug 15, 2007

Hi,

Im creatting an SSIS project that uses an Data Flow OLE DB Source to read data from an SQL Table and import it into a Destination table using Data Flow OLE DB Destination. but now everytime I run the project it appends all the rows not the new data rows only. How can I make the application so that it appends only the new data from a source table to a destination table. Is there maybe another Data Flow Control that can copy source table to destination and the next time it runs it only copy new rows. or any other way to do this using SSIS.



Your assistance will be highly appreciated.

Faster Way To Import/append Data To Table...

Dec 13, 1999

Hello,

I was wondering if there was a different approach I should take in appending data to a table...

My destination table has about 94+ million records in it, and I have been taking two approaches to getting new files into this table:

1) I do a data pump task in a DTS to import the file to a trans (temp) table, which is truncated every time, and then do an INSERT INTO statement from the temp table to my destination table.

The import to the trans table only takes a few minutes (about 1 - 2 million records per file, but have short record lenghts,) but when I do the INSERT INTO statement, it takes upwards of 6 hrs to append.

2) I have tried doing a bulk insert task, going directly to the destination table (which defeats the purpose of my trans table to check out the data prior, but I feel the data is clean at this point.)

I am running the bulk insert right now, and it's been running for over 3 hours...so I'm going to assume this will take just as long as the INSERT INTO statement does like I did before.

My destination table does not have any indexes in it at all, and I don't need to do any transformations to the data when bringing it into SQL since the data is clean. Also, I have a default value constraint on one of my fields on the destination table.

Plus there are other ppl and applications hitting the server which could impact the overall processing, but nothing out of the ordinary is going on the server today. I know there are only so many ways to get a file into a table...but maybe someone knows a different way I should try this.

Thanks for anyone's suggestions!

Kael.

How To Append Multiple Queries To A Temp Table?

Apr 4, 2006

Hello. I'm having some difficulty trying to output the results of two seperate queries into the same temporary table.

Does anyone know if it is possible to use the UNION operator to output the results into a temporary table?

Select * From TableA
UNION
Select * From TableB
<---output result to temporary table here--->

Alternatively, is it possible to output the results of two queries in to the same temporary table without the UNION clause?

The following statement fails on the second SELECT INTO due to the fact that #MyTempTable already exists.

Select * INTO #MyTempTable FROM TableA
Select * INTO #MyTempTable FROM TableB

Thanks in advance.

Using SQL To Append Records To A Table From A Flat File Using DTS

Aug 4, 2006

What I would LIKE to do is noted in the subject line. What I'm findingis that "edit SQL" appears to only be an option if I am creating atable. If I select "append to" the option to edit SQL shades itself asunavailable.The reason I'd like this is that there is a datum in the flat file thatindicates whether that record should be appended to that table notedabove. There are other ways of dealing with this "problem" but it wouldbe nice to be able to control it using SQL, in the DTS import/exportwizard.If the source of my data is an SQL table, I can generate an SQL queryto specify what fields to import in an append, to check for existingvalues, etc...Is there a way around this? I can reserve a table for data transfers,regularly overwrite it with new data from text file inputs, and use SQLto insert select fields from that transfer table to other databasetables. (From this "transfer" table, data needs to be inserted intofour separate tables in our database).I hope this is clear. If it CAN'T be done this way, it's okay...just alittle ugly with the need to re-create the transfer table.

Dbo.Table Of A Database In The .SQLEXPRESS Object Explorer: How To Copy The Dbo.Table To The Another Blank Dbo.Table?

Jan 9, 2008

Hi all,

The following dbo.Tables of Northwind.mdf in my .SQLEXPRESS (SQL Server Management Studio Express) are missing:
dbo.Categories
dbo.CustomerCustomerDemo
dbo.CustomerDemographics
dbo.Customers
dbo.Employees
dbo.EmployeeTerritories
dbo.Order Details
dbo.Orders
dbo.Products
dbo.Regions
dbo.Shippers
dbo.Suppliers
dbo.Territories.

But, I have these dbo.Tables in a different Database "xyzDatabase". How can I copy each of these dbo.Tables to the another blank dbo.Table of Northwind Database?

I right clicked on the dbo.Categories and I saw the following thing:
dbo.Categories
New Table...
Modify
Open Table
Script Table as |> CREATYE To |>
DROP To |>
SELECT To |>
INSERT To |> New Query Editor Window
File....
Clipboard
UPDATE To |>
DELETE to |>
From the above observation,I think it is possible to copy the dbo.Table from the one Database to the Northwind Database that needs to be repaired. Please help and advise me how to do this task or tell me where I can find the Microsoft document that gives the details of this X-copy thing.

Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

P. S. I am using VB 2005 Express to create a project to learn "Calling Stored Procedures with ADO.NET" (see Paul Kimmel's article in http://www.developer.com/db/article.php/3438221) that needs the dbo.Tables of Northwind Database and my Northwind Database has been screwed up for quite a while and needs a big repair.

Cannot Copy Sqlexpress To Another Pc For Vb.net 2.0 Project Update

Nov 1, 2006

Hi. I have done alot of searching around but can't find answer to this specific problem.

Here is my connection string in vb.net app config

<connectionStrings>
<add name="myfile.My.MySettings.ffgscrmConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|myfile.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>

The database is locally attached to the vb.net project residing in a data directory in the project. I am testing installation on a virtual pc - with no sql express managment or other sql server databases attached.

When I do a vb.net setup project and run this on, there is no problem. However, once having done that, when I want to update the app, I can't just copy in the new database along with exe. I get the error:"sql server does not allow remote connections (provider:sql network interfaces error 26 - error locating server/instance specified).

Is this a problem of the virtual PC? I am testing this because I need to be able to send updates to another local machine without using setup program.

Exporting Data - Unable To Append All Data To The Table

Jun 28, 2012

I have a sql server 2008 backend with an Access 2007 frontend database. Each time I export a query I get the following error:

Code:
Microsoft Access was unable to append all the data to the table.

The contents of fields in 0 record(s) were deleted, and 1 record(s) were lost due to key violations.

*If data was deleted, the data you pasted or imported doesn't match the field data types or the FieldSize property in the destination table.
*If records were lost, either the records you pasted contain primary key values that already exist in the destination table, or they violate referential integrity rules for a relationship defined between tables. Do you want to proceed anyway?

I don't know what if anything is actually missing because of the amount of data is more thant 6000 records. It seems everything exported but I would have to comb through the data to be sure.

How Do I Copy / Insert A Primary Key Value Of One Table Into Another Table?

Dec 10, 2007

 

Hi i have set up  two very simple tables, I want a user to be able to create a basic account ( data stored in User_Profile  table with Id set as the Primery Key as Identity) I
want the user to be able to be able to return to their account at a later date
and then post multiple reviews of different bands they have seen at a later date.
I kept the tables in my example very simple so I could get my head
around the concept, but generally, I want to connect the Id (PK) value in
User_Profile table to the User_Id filed in the User_Review table,
so every review that user writes, will be connected directly to their Id.  

Any help you could give would be fantastic a i have no idea where to start!!!

  

User_Profile

Id   int,  ( as primary Identity Key)

Name

City

Country

 

I have a second table called User Reviews

 User_Revews

Revew_Id   int ,  ( as primary Identity Key)

User_Id  int, ( I want this to contain the Id value in
the User profile Table)

Review_Details

 

 

Thanks
