I have been asked to create PK on many tables using a query on all tables where we do not have clustered indexes. Some of the tables contains PK but non-clustered. If in a table there are no PK, then how to decide on which column PK can be created? can we do it with the query without data loss and without human intervention?

Hello,
Quick question, I hope, I am trying to create a table that has a column that is a nested table in SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. Any ideas how I could go about doing this?

I'm trying to put scripts to create our stored procedures under version control.
However I don't want these scripts to be run if the stored procedure already exists (we'll be using update scripts to alter existing stored procedure I think).
Anyway I tried :
Code:
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
/****** Object: Stored Procedure dbo.getEnglandHotelsByATOPResort Script Date: 26/10/2005 10:40:01 ******/
if NOT EXISTS (SELECT object_id('procedureName','p'))
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[procedureName]
@location char(2)
AS
...Procedure...
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
I know that the if NOT EXISTS ... part works as doing the following returns the expected result :
Code:
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT object_id('procedureName','p'))
SELECT 'FALSE'
ELSE
SELECT 'TRUE'
However when trying to do this before the CREATE PROCEDURE I get :
Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 4
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'PROCEDURE'.
Server: Msg 137, Level 15, State 1, Line 12
Must declare the variable '@location'.
Any ideas how to do this?

I'm working on an ASP.Net project where I want to test code on a localmachine using a local database as a back-end, and then export it tothe production machine where it uses the hosting provider's SQL Serverdatabase on the back-end. Is there a way to export tables from oneSQL Server database to another in such a way that if a table alreadyexists in the destination database, it will be updated to reflect thechanges to the local table, without existing data in the destinationtable being lost? e.g. suppose I change some tables in my localdatabase by adding new fields. Can I "export" these changes to thedestination database so that the new fields will be added to thedestination tables (and filled in with default values), without losingdata in the destination tables?If I run the DTS Import/Export Wizard that comes with SQL Server andchoose "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the source database" and choosethe tables I want to copy, there is apparently no option *not* to copythe data, and since I don't want to copy the data, that choice doesn'twork. If instead of "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the sourcedatabase", I choose "Copy objects and data between SQL Serverdatabases", then on the following options I can uncheck the "CopyData" box to prevent data being copied. But for the "CreateDestination Objects" choices, I have to uncheck "Drop destinationobjects first" since I don't want to lose the existing data. But whenI uncheck that and try to do the copy, I get collisions between theproperties of the local table and the existing destination table,e.g.:"Table 'wbuser' already has a primary key defined on it."Is there no way to do what I want using the DTS Import/Export Wizard?Can it be done some other way?-Bennett

I am trying to bulk update about 50,000 rows in a SQL table. The values that the table MUST contain are:
1-3 days
4-7 days
8-10 days
Some of the rows contain a space between the number and the hyphen like:
1 - 3 days
4 - 7 days
8 - 10 days
What would be my best methodology of removing the space between numerics only? I have seen multiple examples of how to remove ALL whitespace, but I only want to remove the space between the numbers and the hyphen *IF* it exists. And the field type is varchar(200)

I have 2 views which contain the following fields:
EVENT,
WEEK,
SUBSCRIPTION,
QTY,
GROSS_AMOUNT,
SEASON
The 2 views differ by SEASON. I'm attempting to combine the 2 views in to a single view or table grouping by EVENT, WEEK and SUBSCRIPTION:
EVENT,
WEEK,
SUBSCRIPTION,
Q6 (qty of season 1),
A6 (gross_amount of season 1),
Q7 (qty of season 2),
A7 (gross_amount of season 2)
Below is my select command:
------
SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT
dbo.vw_SEASON06.EVENT,
SUM(dbo.vw_SEASON06.QTY) AS Q6, SUM(dbo.vw_SEASON06.GROSS_AMOUNT) AS A6,

GROUP BY
dbo.vw_SEASON06.EVENT,
dbo.vw_SEASON06.WEEK,
dbo.vw_SEASON06.SUBSCRIPTION
ORDER BY
dbo.vw_SEASON06.EVENT
-----
This creates the view but there are some issues. If an 'EVENT' exists in dbo.vw_SEASON07.EVENT and doesn't exist in dbo.vw_SEASON06.EVENT the value of the field 'EVENT' is set to NULL because the 'EVENT' name is returned from dbo.vw_SEASON06.EVENT. The same issue exists for 'SUBSCRIPTIONS' and 'WEEK'.
How can I create a single view/table that will include all the data from these 2 views without the NULL values in EVENT or SUBSCRIPTION?
Any help is appreciated!
When i am running below snippet execution plan is showing constant scan instead of referring subquery table.
I want to know how this query working. and why in execution plan there is no scan /seek which will basically indicate that particular table is getting referred.
select count(*) from A where exists (select count(1) from B where A.a=B.a)
execution plan has to show scan or seek for subquery. Surprisingly, output is coming as expected.

When I execute the below queries it works perfectly where as my expectation is, it should break.
Select * from ChildDepartment C where C.ParentId IN (Select Id from TestDepartment where DeptId = 1)
In TestDepartment table, I do not have ID column. However the select in sub query works as ID column exists in ChildDepartment. If I do change the query to something below then definately it will break -
Select * from ChildDepartment C where C.ParentId IN (Select D.Id from TestDepartment D where D.DeptId = 1)
Shouldn't the default behavior be otherwise? It should throw error if column doesnt exists in sub query table and force me to define the correct source table or alias name.
create table TestDepartment
(
DeptId int identity(1,1) primary key,
name varchar(50)
)
create table ChildDepartment
(
Id int identity(1,1) primary key,

I have a table that has for each shop a value that can change over time.For example
BK_POS 1 --> Segment A
BK_POS 1 --> Segment /
What I would like to achieve is to get all distinct Shops (BK_POS) from the table above, but if for that specific pos a row exists where the segment = "/" then I do not want to take this BK_POS in my select query.More concrete, the for example above I do not want to select BK_POS 1 because he has one row where the segment = "/".
Usual way to check if file exists
DECLARE @File_Exists INT
EXEC Master.dbo.xp_fileexist 'serverBSQL_Backupfile.bak', @File_Exists OUT
print @File_Exists
1
And if check folder, can use "nul", but it doesn't work for UNC path
DECLARE @File_Exists INT
EXEC Master.dbo.xp_fileexist 'serverBSQL_Backup
ul', @File_Exists OUT
print @File_Exists
0
If use xp_subdirs like:
EXEC master.dbo.xp_subdirs 'serverBSQL_Backups'
If the folder doesn't exists,
Msg 22006, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
xp_subdirs could not access 'ServerBSQL_Backups*.*': FindFirstFile() returned error 67, 'The network name cannot be found.'

I tryed several things with CASE, IF, EXISTS,... but I had no success.
I have scenario where i have to pick one particular value from where condition. Here is the example:A store can have different types i-e A or B , A and B or either A or B.
Store Type Sales
11 A 1000
23 A 1980
23 B 50
5 B 560
I want to filter the store in "where clause" where
1)- if the store has type A and B, then assign only A
2)- if the store has type A associated with it then assign A
3)- if the store has type B associated with it, then assign B.
Select Store, sum(sales), Type
from table1
where (TYPE]= (case when [TYPE] in ('A','B') then 'A'
when [TYPE]='A' then 'A' else 'B'end))
GROUP BY [store], [TYPE]
The above statement is not working for when store has only Type B associated with it.

Hello,
I'm struggling with a query that needs to use Not Exists between two unrelated tables. I'm not sure of the best way to handle this with SQL Query Analyzer.
I have three tables, employees, courses and training_records. There is no link between employees and courses other than through the training records table. My problem is that I am unsure of how to pull all employees and an associated course id and course title when there is not a training record for that employee/course?
I had a query that would work when I specified the course id, but I wanted to do this for a list of about 25 courses.
SELECT e.empnumber, e.Nickname + ' ' + e.lastname as employeeName
FROM empdata e
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM #TrainingRecords tr
LEFT JOIN #TrainingCourses tc
ON tc.ClassID = tr.classid
WHERE tc.ClassID = 1377
AND tr.employee = e.empnumber)
I then modified it to get the classid and name
SELECT e.empnumber, e.Nickname + ' ' + e.lastname as employeeName, tc.ClassID, tc.ClassName
FROM empdata e
LEFT JOIN #TrainingCourses tc
ON tc.ClassID = 1377
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM #TrainingRecords tr
WHERE tr.ClassID = tc.ClassID
AND tr.employee = e.empnumber)
I then got it to work using the full list
SELECT e.empnumber, e.Nickname + ' ' + e.lastname as employeeName, tc.ClassID, tc.ClassName
FROM empdata e
LEFT JOIN #TrainingCourses tc
ON tc.ClassID in (1032, 1054, 1059, 1060, 1062, 1063, 1069, 1072, 1074, 1075, 1122, 1189, 1190, 1191, 1192, 1193, 1210, 1218, 1219, 1220, 1310, 1377, 1411)
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM #TrainingRecords tr
WHERE tr.ClassID = tc.ClassID
AND tr.employee = e.empnumber)
My results seem to work like I want them to, but I have never joined a table without actually joining on a value from each table. In this case I join to a list of values and that just looks odd to me. Is this good or crappy development? Is there a better way this should be done?

May be we may do by dense_rank or Row_Number, but I couldn't get the exact query to produce based on the above table values. There are some duplicates in the table(which are not duplicates as per the Business). For those duplicated Unique ID should be same(Marked in Orange Color which are duplicates).
Currently I have a column with multiple postcodes in one value which are split with the “/” character along with the corresponding location data. What I need to do is split these postcode values into separate rows while keeping their corresponding location data.

20251/20270 42.196471 9.404951
Would become
PostCode Latitude Longitude
66000 42.696595 2.899370
66100 42.696595 2.899370
20251 42.196471 9.404951

Hello,
I have two tables with the same field layout, and they both have the same field as the Primary Key. They just contain different data. I would like to know if a record exists in one, or both, tables.
The tables are InvTemp1 and SalesTemp1. The key for both is stock_number.
Here is the command so far:
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM InvTemp1 INNER JOIN SalesTemp1 ON InvTemp1.Stock_number = SalesTemp1.Stock_number
WHERE (InvTemp1.Stock_number = '101053')
Thank you for any ideas,
Tom
