Transact SQL :: Inserting Information From One Table Into Another?
Aug 12, 2015
I am working on moving information from one of our databases into a newer one the company has recently setup. I am working in MS SQL Server 2012 and am trying to Inset/Update (depending on the information) a part table. I will list the two tables I am working on as Old (where I am getting the information) and New (where it is to be inserted into).
The old table has about 250 columns of information, most of which is not needed. The needed information is as follows: Name, ID, Component1, Component1_PIN,Component1_SN, Component1_Description, Component2, Component2_PIN, Component2_SN. The component section repeats up to Component12.
The new table has columns setup as such: Name, ID, Case, CasePIN, CaseSN, Case_Desc, Processor, ProcessorPIN, ProcessorSN, Processor_Description, Memory, MemoryPIN, MemorySN, Memory_Description, etc.
The issue I am having is that in the old table each component can have Case, Processor, Memory, etc in that one column. I need to insert Case, Memory, etc into the correct column in the new table while keeping intact the rest of the information.
Example:
Old Table
Name | ID | Component1 | Component1_PIN | Component1_SN | Component1_Description | Component2 | Component2_PIN | Component2_SN | Component2_Description
Nest8 | 5682 | Case | 901834 | 237848117 | Black, rectangular | Memory | 9081234 | 5398798134 | NULL
Nest8 | 5978 | Case | 901463 | 237848138 | Black, rectangular | Processor | 2394875 | 2903857809 | Bad
Reds3 | 5683 | Memory | 2405 | 89752342 | Crucial | HardDrive | 92387595 | 457982234 | NULL
Bass | 5644 | HardDrive | 79872346 | 5321675789 | NULL | Case | 10984528 | 3498769872 | NULL
I am not sure how to loop through and grab each part and place it in the column it needs to be while keeping it with the ID.

I need to insert FK information into a temp table using database name and table name as a parameter.
I've been trying different ways, even with global temp table, but still doesn't work. Below is the code showing what I am trying to achieve. I want to avoid global temp table if possible.
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..##FKs') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE ##FKs
CREATE TABLE ##FKs (
[ForeginKeyName] [nvarchar](128) NULL,
[TableSchema] [sysname] NULL,
[TableName] [nvarchar](128) NULL,
[RelatedTableSchema] [sysname] NULL,
[Code] .....

I'm using Sql Server 2012 Enterprise and have a database with over 400 tables. I am looking at one diagram which contains about 20 (or so) tables and their relationships. When I right-click on a relationship line I only see information about which tables are connected on that line but not on which fields. Can I get that information from the Diagram or can I only get that from the sys tables?

Below is my table structure. And I am inserting data from other temp table.
CREATE TABLE #revf (
[Cusip] [VARCHAR](50) NULL, [sponfID] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, GroupSeries [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [tran] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [AddDate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [SetDate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [PoolNumber] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [Aggregate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [Price] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [NetAmount] [VARCHAR](max) NULL,
[Code] ....
Now in a next step I am deleting the records from #revf table. Please see the delete code below
DELETE
FROM #revf
WHERE fi_gnmaid IN (
SELECT DISTINCT r2.fi_gnmaid
FROM #revf r1, #revf r2
[Code] ...
I don't want to create this #rev table so that i can avoid the delete statement. But data should not affect. Can i rewrite the above as below:
SELECT [Cusip], [sponfID], GroupSeries, [tran], [AddDate], [SetDate], [PoolNumber], [Aggregate], [Price], [NetAmount], [Interest],
[Coupon], [TradeDate], [ReversalDate], [Description], [ImportDate], MAX([fi_gnmaid]) AS Fi_GNMAID, accounttype, [IgnoreFlag], [IgnoreReason], IncludeReversals, DatasetID, [DeloitteTaxComments], [ReconciliationID],
[Code] ....
If my above statement is wrong . Where i can improve here? And actually i am getting 4 rows difference.

I have 2 tables: Source Table - IncidentDimNew and Destination Table - IncidentDimNew with identical columns: Id and CreatedDate but the data is different.
I would like to insert distinct data from those 2 columns of 1st table into the same 2 columns into the 2nd table but I onlt want to replace the values in the 2nd table where the Created Date is > 2015-04
I compiled the code in order to get the information I want from 2 tables:
Source Table
SELECT
COUNT(Id),
LEFT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(10)), CreatedDate, 126), 7)
FROM
IncidentDimNew
[Code] ...
This is the code I wrote in order to do it
INSERT INTO IncidentDim
[Id]
,[CreatedDate]
SELECT
[Id]
,[CreatedDate]
FROM
IncidentDimNew
where left(CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), CreatedDate, 126),7) > '2015-04'
GO
But what it does it's gives the SUM of the values in the corresponding rows where the values are not null which I don't want.
So how do I leave the values as is from table IncidentDim and insert new values as it is from IncidentDimNew where the Created Date is > 2015-04?

below is some code I use to identify where a patient has attended the ED department whilst also admitted as an Inpatient. This report works fine. However while most of the results are recording issues to be corrected some of them are real and as so can be excluded from the report.
Is there a way I can build in an exclusion table which would include:
SELECT
IP_ADMISSION.HeyNo AS HEYNo
,IP_ADMISSION.NHSNo2 AS NHSNo
,IP_ADMISSION.Forename AS Forename
,IP_ADMISSION.Surname AS Surname
,IP_ADMISSION.SourceAdmNatCode AS SourceAdm

Suppose you have a simple DML "execute as..." trigger that looks like this:
CREATE TRIGGER dbo.myTrigger
ON dbo.myTable
WITH Execute As Owner
AFTER INSERT
AS
[code]...
which runs as "owner" so that the user inserting into "myTable" won't have the privs to edit the audit table.How does one capture the identity of the user whose insert statement caused the trigger to fire? I've tried "current_user" and "system_user" without success when "execute as ..." is used: they each return a value not related to the identity of the user running the original insert.without an "execute as" clause, what prevents a user from adding to or editing the audit table directly?

Hello,
I'm building an ecommerce website which requires customers to create an account before they go ahead with a purchase. I have a createaccount.aspx page in Visual Web Developer 2005 with text boxes where users can enter their details (email, password, name and address). I'm trying to insert the information which users type into the text boxes into an SQL database table called Customers.
I've dragged and dropped an SQL data source onto my page and have set it to operate on my AddCustomer stored procedure. I've confirgured my data source such that the parameter for each field in the database is set to the appropriate control on the webpage (for example the Email parameter source is "textboxEmail").
I've also placed a button onto my page so that the button click event can act as the trigger for sending the information in the text boxes to the database. I wasn't totally sure how to write code for the button click event such that when the button is clicked, the INSERT stored procedure runs. At the moment I'm using:
Protected Sub btnSubmit_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSubmit.Click
SqlDataSource1.Insert()
End Sub
When I try to run my application I'm getting an error which reads:
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'Email', table 'C:DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGSLUKE JACKSONMY DOCUMENTSVISUAL STUDIO 2005WEBSITESJACKSONSNURSERIESAPP_DATADATABASE.MDF.dbo.Customers'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.The statement has been terminated.
The error message implies that I haven't set the necessary parameters correctly but I really don't know where I'm going wrong!
The code I'm using for my stored procedure is as follows:
ALTER PROCEDURE AddCustomer
(
@CustomerID int,
@Email nvarchar(50),
@Password nvarchar(MAX),
@Name nvarchar(50),
@Address1 nvarchar(50),
@Address2 nvarchar(50),
@Address3 nvarchar(50),
@City nvarchar(50),
@County nvarchar(50),
@PostCode nvarchar(50)
)
AS
INSERT INTO Customers
(Email, Password, Name, Address1, Address2, Address3, City, County, PostCode)
VALUES
(@Email, @Password, @Name, @Address1, @Address2, @Address3, @City, @County, @PostCode)
I'd be really grateful if anyone could help me out with this.
Thanks in advance,
Luke

I want to make a query, stored procedure, or whatever which will only display the primary key where there does no exist a foreign key in linked table.For example. If I had two tables with a one to many relationship.A [Computer] has one or more [Hard Drives]. I want to select only those computers which do not have a Hard Drive(s) associated with them. That is, show all computers where the Computer_ID field in the [Hard Drives] table does not exist. This seems simple but I'm drawing a blank here.

CREATE VIEW [org].[Assets]

IF(EXISTS(SELECT [i].[AS_ID] FROM [inserted] [i] WHERE [i].[AS_ID] IS NOT NULL))
RAISERROR('INSERT into the anchor identity column ''AS_ID'' is not allowed.', 16, 1) WITH NOWAIT;
-- Do Stuff
END;
-- Should error for inserting into [AS_ID] field (which is an identity field)
INSERT INTO [org].[Assets]([AS_ID], [Tag], [Name])

Hello:
I have an app that needs to retrieve the list of tables in an SQL database. I see that there is a way to do this with the OLEdb provider (GetOleDbSchemaTable() ), but I can't find a sibling method in SQL. IS there one/ Any Ideas?

In oracle there is a describe command:
describe table_name
This command will tell you the columns names, datatypes, and length of the columns for that particular table. Does anyone know if there is a simliar command in SQL server that would do that? The only way that I have found so far is to do a join of the syscolumns with sysobject by table name.

Okay, I'll admit it: I am not a Guru. Far from it. So here is one of the zillion tasks I cannot do - unfortunately it is one that I need to have done... :
I need a recordset containing the Name, Datatype, Size, Precision, and Name_of_parent_table of all columns in all non-system tables in a given database.
Most likely this can be accomplished with one or two SPs, but which ones? And how?
Is there any Kind Soul out there, perhaps?

and i want to only print out the results for "Heading 4" under the "Heading" column, and only have the results print out once, using php.. how would i do this?
The Headings are inputed by the user through a web interface i created where the user may either select an exisiting heading or type in a completely new one that has nothing to do with any of the others.
thanks for any and all of your help..

Hi,
Is it possible to retrieve column information alone in the sp_columns command? I saw that it has an additional option "@column_name". But when I include it in my sql, it doesn't work the way I had expected it to..
I had tried sp_columns @table_name='mytable', @column_name='COLUMN_NAME'
I expect just the column names alone in the resultset. What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks and Regards,

I have two tables - a stock table and a transaction table. The stock table is called stock and the transaction table is called trans. The table make a point of sale database. Both table have a joining field called prod_no.
I want to extract the stock line by querying stock.prod_no that are not present in the trans table for a period of time specified.
Basically, I want to find dead stock lines that have not been sold and, therefore, are not in the transaction table but that have a stock figure. I have to enter in a start and end date paramater using the ddate field in the trans table. I have looked at left, right and outer joins but with no luck and don't even know if this is the correct query type to use.
any help would be much appreciated,

Hi
I have a problem I am trying to ascertain the quality of the data in the table of a system we are migrating from one database to another.
We have already taken the step of converting it into SQL server to make sense of it now I wnat to query the data itself
To do this I set up a query that went through sysobjects and syclumns and listed the tables and their columns
What I want to do now is use this information to query the data elements themselves to determine where we should concentrate our data mapping on.
I started out with a cursor doing this
declare @table varchar(50)
declare @col varchar(50)
declare @result int
declare count_cursor cursor scroll
for select tname,cname from infotemp
open count_cursor
fetch from count_cursor
into @table,@col
while @@fetch_status=0
BEGIN
exec ('select count('+@col+') from '+@table)
Fetch next from count_cursor into @table,@col
END
close count_cursor
deallocate count_cursor
But I am having problems getting the counted value into the result value from the exec statement
Anybody got any ideas
Thanks

I would like to know how to (if it is at all possible) in SQL (or even ADO) to retrieve all the data concerning database X's
a) Tables
b) Tables column names
c) Tables column's data types
I don't want to use the doa.tabledefs object.. .i would prefer to do it in SQL, but using ADO objects (since I am developing stuff in VB) would be ok too.
Please Help.. i have been going crazy trying to find anything useful.. email me back please!
Thanks,
Matt

Hi,
I need to provide a report that lists the databases in each instance, then the tablenames and the number of rows in each table.
Is there any easy way to do this in SQL 2005?
Cheers

I remember once using a command in Query Analyser that gave me all theinformation about a table. It showed details about the columns,constraints, keys, indexes etc.I can't remember how I did this? Can anyone help me?It could of been a stored proc that I called or a query on the systemtables.I do know that it was very simple to do and it was executed in QueryAnalyser.Can anyone help me?
