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?
Is 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.
I have an Employee table with 3000 records and an Excel file having themodified data of those emplyoees. Some of the data of Excel may be sameas that of table data but some may differ. 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
Hello All, I have two tables T1 and T2 with the same data structure. I need to compare T1 with T2 for all columns and update T2 for deleted, inserted and updated rows. How can I do this?
I am not sure if this is the correct forum for my question but I will give it a shot. I want to be able to create a dataset from an ODBC datasource and compare it to existing data in my SQL DB. If there are changes (inserts/updates/deletes) I want to raise seperate events for each row state. Is this possible to do with SSIS/DTS or am I on the wrong track with what I am trying to do?
Is 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?
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?
Can any one give a summary of difference between Data Stage and SSIS . we are in process of Migrating existing Jobs in Data Stage to SSIS .so i am prepareing a comparitive report between Data Stage and SSIS . help us pls
I upload data from a Txt File(Txt_Temp) where I have VinNumber with 6 digits. Another table name Resrve_Temp1 where I have Vinumber with 17 digit. Now I need to update the vinnumber 6 digit to 17 digit or to new column in Txt_temp.
Txt_Temp - Table
I tried this code with no succes and only one row is updating
update Txt_Temp Set Txt_Temp.Vinnumber=dbo.R_ResrvStock.Vin from dbo.R_ResrvStock inner join Txt_Temp on Right (dbo.R_ResrvStock.Vin,6)=Txt_Temp.VinNumber
OR Add this code in view
Select dbo.R_ResrvStock.Vin,R_Txt_Temp.Vinnumber,R_Txt_Te mp.Model_Code from dbo.R_ResrvStock inner join R_Txt_Temp on Right (dbo.R_ResrvStock.Vin,6)=R_Txt_Temp.VinNumber
I would like to return the nearest date of Table B in my table like for

I've been testing a variety of database schema migration tools. Ourcompany purchased Embarcadero Change Manager a while ago but we'vebeen less than satisfied with the results.We are looking for a tool that can compare a source/developer databasewith a target/client database and then make the necessary changes.The tool will need to update stored procedures, tables, indexes,constraints, etc. The tool will also need to make the changes in thecorrect order based on dependencies and relationships.Anyone have any recommendations?
I have a requirement to compare data between two tables in SQL Server.
What is the fastest way to do it using SSIS? There are approx 6~7 millions of records in each table.
My solution: Read both the tables and store the data in Object Type variable. Then run an except query. But I am stuck at except query part. How do I implement it?
I 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
DECLARE @A TABLE (ID INT, ACCOUNT VARCHAR(10), EFFDT DATE) INSERT INTO @A VALUES (1,'AAA','2015-10-01') INSERT INTO @A VALUES (1,'BBB','2015-10-01') INSERT INTO @A VALUES (1,'CCC','2015-10-01') INSERT INTO @A VALUES (1,'AAA','2015-10-05') INSERT INTO @A VALUES (1,'DDD','2015-10-01') INSERT INTO @A VALUES (2,'AAA','2015-10-02') INSERT INTO @A VALUES (2,'BBB','2015-10-02') INSERT INTO @A VALUES (2,'CCC','2015-10-02') INSERT INTO @A VALUES (2,'DDD','2015-10-02')

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.
I am comparing two fields one from our legacy table and one in our new table structure that should have identical text data. The new field has an assortment of ANSI characters where the legacy data did not have these. Is there anything I can do that will ignore all ansi character differences? The only route I can think of is just do a replace on each ANSI type on the new column but there are quite a few character types.
In 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.
Hi, Let's say I have 1000 registered users in database table and each of them has numeric ranking value. How can I get the position of each user in comparison to other users ranking value?
I am attempting to create a stored procedure that will launch at report runtime to summarize data in a table into a table that will reflect period data using an array type field. I know how to execute one line but I am not sure how to run the script so that it not only summarizes the data below but also creates and drops the table.
I am new to the topic T-SQL. I am trying to use T-SQL to merge the content of two tables (table1 and table2) into one table making sure there are no duplication.
I wonder if any body can let me have a simple code.
Hey guys what would be the easiest way to create a report of value changes for particular records from one day to the next..... ? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated....

We are converting our project into new version. They have done lot of changes in new version including normalization/denormalization. I need to compare the old and new database. Do you have any standard script or procedure like SQL Compare software?. Let me know what are the possibilties we need to check. Your help appreciated. Thanks, Ravi
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?

Morning! Folks, i want some links where i could find healthy stuff regarding New Features and Compliance levels, performance comparisons, TPC tests etc about SQL 2000 and Yukon specially. I've to submit a document regarding Top database features that shall be used for a Medical-Billing Software in plan.
I 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'.
