I am trying to update the same row of the table multiple times. in other words, i am trying to replace the two stings on same row with two different values.
Example: if the column has a string "b" then replace with "B" and if the column has a string "d" then replace with "D" . I can write multiple updates to update it but i was just wondering if it can be done with single UPDATE statement
column before the update : bcdxyz
after the update: BcDxyz

I have a column with XML data stored in it. I need to update that column several times with new values for different nodes. I've written a CLR function to update the XML quickly but the update is always based on the initial value of the xmlData column. I was hoping that the subsequent updates would be based on the new data from the prior update (each xmlTable has several newData rows). Do I have to make this a table valued function and use cross apply?
UPDATE xmlTable SET xmlTable.xmlData = Underwriting.UpdateByDynamicValue(xmlTable.xmlData,newData.NodeID,newData.NewValue) FROM xmlTable JOIN newData ON xmlTable.ID = newData.fkXmlTableID
I have a single update statement that updates the same column multipletimes in the same update statement. Basically i have a column thatlooks like .1.2.3.4. which are id references that need to be updatedwhen a group of items is copied. I can successfully do this withcursors, but am experimenting with a way to do it with a single updatestatement.I have verified that each row being returned to the Update statement(in an Update..From) is correct, but that after the first update to acolumn, the next row that does an update to that same row/column combois not using the updated data from the first update to that column.Does anybody know of a switch or setting that can make this work, or doI need to stick with the cursors?Schema detail:if exists( select * from sysobjects where id = object_id('dbo.ScheduleTask') and type = 'U')drop table dbo.ScheduleTaskgocreate table dbo.ScheduleTask (Id int not null identity(1,1),IdHierarchy varchar(200) not null,CopyTaskId int null,constraint PK_ScheduleTask primary key nonclustered (Id))goUpdate query:Update ScheduleTask SetScheduleTask.IdHierarchy = Replace(ScheduleTask.IdHierarchy, '.' +CAST(TaskCopyData.CopyTaskId as varchar) + '.', '.' +CAST(TaskCopyData.Id as varchar) + '.')FromScheduleTaskINNER JOIN ScheduleTask as TaskCopyData ONScheduleTask.CopyTaskId IS NOT NULL ANDTaskCopyData.CopyTaskId IS NOT NULL ANDcharindex('.' + CAST(TaskCopyData.CopyTaskId as varchar) + '.',ScheduleTask.IdHierarchy) > 0Query used to verify that data going into update is correct:selectScheduleTask.Id, TaskCopyData.Id, ScheduleTask.IdHierarchy, '.' +CAST(TaskCopyData.CopyTaskId as varchar) + '.', '.' +CAST(TaskCopyData.Id as varchar) + '.'FromScheduleTaskINNER JOIN ScheduleTask as TaskCopyData ONScheduleTask.CopyTaskId IS NOT NULL ANDTaskCopyData.CopyTaskId IS NOT NULL ANDcharindex('.' + CAST(TaskCopyData.CopyTaskId as varchar) + '.',ScheduleTask.IdHierarchy) > 0
Can we push the data for the above query in a physical table and create index to make the query fast rather than using the same set tables multiple times
1. I have multiple "ItemId" and have their parent/child data. 2. Need to update only child's "ItemOrder". Example, if parent has order "1.00" then their child will be 1.01 & 1.02... and so on.
Conditional Update of a field from multiple tables..I have a target table with two fields: Date and ID..There three source tables: S1, S2, S3, each of them has three fields: Date, ID, and Score...Now I want to update the target table: put the ID into the ID field which has the highest Score from the three tables on each day.
I have this sql stored procedure in SQL Server 2012:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[CreateBatchAndSaveExternalCodes] @newBatches as dbo.CreateBatchList READONLY , @productId int , @cLevelRatio int , @nLevelRatio int AS set nocount on;
Now we have different packages for 4 tables data loading. These 4 packages will start at a time. Before going to load the data we have to make the Flag to 1 and after that we have to load it. Because of this we have written Update statement to update the Value to 1 in respective Package.
Now we are getting dead lock because we are using same table at a same time. Because we are updating different records.
I am trying to query the Topics in my discussion forum...The Topic contains a "last_poster_id" and a "author_id" I need the username and userid for both "last_poster_id" and "author_id" in the table "aspnet_Users"How do I do this?I would guess I need to use sub select statements. Can someone help me?
What is a more efficient way of doing the following such that DATEDIFF() does not have to calculated numerous times?
CASE WHEN DATEDIFF(DD, @Today, COALESCE(POS.[PurchaseDate], POS.[FinalizedDate])) <= 0 THEN '<= 0D' WHEN DATEDIFF(DD, @Today, COALESCE(POS.[PurchaseDate], POS.[FinalizedDate])) > 0 AND DATEDIFF(DD, @Today, COALESCE(POS.[PurchaseDate], POS.[FinalizedDate])) <= 7 THEN '> 0D AND <= 7D' WHEN DATEDIFF(DD, @Today, COALESCE(POS.[PurchaseDate], POS.[FinalizedDate])) > 7 AND DATEDIFF(DD, @Today, COALESCE(POS.[PurchaseDate], POS.[FinalizedDate])) <= 30 THEN '> 7D AND <= 30D'
I am doing some analysis on shifts and what I want to do is say if the time from a timestamp field is between 00:00 and 05:59 then the figures belong to the day before. Eg. We have a night shift that work 22:00 - 06:00.
Here is my coding which logically looks sound to me but when I run it, it has an error:
SELECTe.ID, CAST(e.TimestampasDate)asEventDate, CAST(e.TimestampasTime)asEventTime, CASE WHENCAST(e.TimestampasTime)BETWEEN'00:00:01'and'05:59:59' THENCAST(e.TimestampasDate)-1 ELSECAST(e.TimestampasDate) END FROMIntouch.Event
I have a table called ADSCHL which contains the school_code as Primary key and other two table as
RGDEGR(common field as SCHOOl_code) and RGENRl( Original_school_code) which are refrencing the ADSCHL. if a school_code will be updated both the table RGDEGR (school_code) and RGERNL ( original_schoolcode) has to be updated as well. I have been provided a new data that i have imported to SQL server using SSIS with table name as TESTCEP which has a column name school_code. I have been assigned a task to update the old school_code vale ( ADSCHL) with new school_code ( TESTCEP) and make sure the changes happen across all 3 tables.
I tried using Merge Update function not sure if this is going to work.
Update dbo.ADSCHL SET dbo.ADSCHL.SCHOOL_CODE = FD.SCHOOL_Code FROM dbo.ADSCHL AD INNER JOIN TESTCEP FD ON AD.SCHOOL_NAME = FD.School_Name
How can I write it in SQL? I have a table that column A has two values of Product and Cost...Where value of A is Product, I have to add 6 more rows, and add column b with values from 1 to 7 for each rows ( counter)Where value of A is Cost, I have to add 4 more rows, and add column b with values from 1 to 5 for each rows ( counter).
I have a situation where I run the same taks multiple times during the execution. I would like to have one task which runs every time, instead of duplicating the task over and over 14 times in my script.
Basically, it is an audit log, which I set variables and then insert into a SQL table the variables.
I would like to do this:
Task1 ------Success-----> Set Vars -----Success--> Log | Task2 ------Success-----> Set Vars -----Success-| (do the Log task again) | Task3 -------Success-----> Set Vars -----Success-| (do the Log task again) | etc
This works, however, I have to duplicate Log over and over and over. No OR does not work, because it still only executes the Log task once.
Another option I thought of, but cannot find a way to implement is: Make the Log task "disabled" with no dependencies, then in the Set Vars script, enable and execute Log and disable again.
After doing some research it seems like you can only push the same table once using rda.push -- is this correct? If yes, are there any other alternatives for saving changes to the table back to SQL Server aside from merge replication?
One idea I am toying with is to pull the tracked table with 0 records, save changes to the tracked table, push, drop table and pull, repeating this process everytime I push the data. Wondering is somebody has any advice?
ID Flag TestDate Value Comment 111 2 12/15/2014 7.5 null 222 2 Null 10 received
Matrix_Current table could have 1 or multiple rows as below.
ID Flag TestDate Value Comment 111 2 01/26/2015 7.9 111 2 02/23/2015 7.9 111 2 04/07/2015 6.8 222 1 null 8 test comment 1 222 3 null 9 test comment 2
When I run below update
UPDATE AM SET M.Flag = MC.Flag, M.TestDate = MC.TestDate, M.Value = MC.Value, M.comment = MC.Comment FROM dbo.Matrix M inner join dbo.Matrix_Current MC on M.ID = MC.ID
Matrix table has value below:
ID Flag TestDate Value Comment 111 2 01/26/2015 7.9 222 1 Null 8 test comment 1
I want to update Matrix table from all row from Matrix_Current, final table would like below:

I have my job table which has full date but it doesn't show the date exactly Monday to Friday it shows only as 12-12-2014 like that.
Hey all, I am still pretty new to all of this and I am having problems accessing a the same DB twice in my page. I want to pull information once in one spot, but then pull different information in a different spot on the page. Anyway, in the first spot, I have the following code: Dim conString As String = WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("DataConn").ConnectionString Dim con As New SqlConnection(conString)Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("Select Team1.TeamID as Team1ID, Team1.TeamName as HomeTeam, Team2.TeamID as Team2ID, Team2.TeamName as AwayTeam, Football_Schedule.ScheduleID as ScheduleID from (Select * from Football_Teams) as Team1, (Select * from Football_Teams) as Team2, Football_Schedule where Football_schedule.team1 = Team1.teamid AND Football_Schedule.team2 = Team2.teamid order by Football_Schedule.WeekNum, Team1.TeamName, Team2.Teamname", con)Using con con.Open() Dim RS As SqlDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader() While RS.Read() blah blah blah End While End Using
Then in my other spot on the page I have the following: Dim cmdresults As New SqlCommand("Select Users.Firstname, sum(PointsID) as TotalPoints from Football_Input, Football_Schedule, Users where Football_Input.TeamID = Football_Schedule.winID and users.userid = Football_Input.UserID Group by Users.firstname") Using con con.Open()Dim RD As SqlDataReader = cmdresults.ExecuteReader() While RD.Read()%> <tr> <td><%=RD%> </td> </tr> <%End While End Using When I try to execute I get this error, "ExecuteReader: Connection property has not been initialized." on the following line, " RD As SqlDataReader = cmdresults.ExecuteReader()" Any ideas? If possible a little explanation on how multiple connections to the same database work would be nice just for future reference. Thanks in advance!!, Chris
I need to create a linked server that can access more than one database. I assume, the only wat this can be done by creating two separate links from the local server using Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL server. But the problem is the Server Name. I cannot use the same servername twice and if I use a name that is not an exisiting SQL server name I get an error that "server not found".
So, how do I addlink the same server a mulitple times to access different databases in the server?
First off, I'm new to SQL Server and apologize if this is a trivial question.
What I'm trying to do is alias the same table with 2 different names so that I may join them on two different fields.
Table1 Emp_Number Emp_Code_1 Emp_Code_2
Table2 (Contains a list of codes and their related descriptions) Emp_Code Long_Desc Short_Desc
I'm trying to query Table1 for the Emp_Number but I want to get the Short_Desc from Table2 for both Emp_Code1 and Emp_Code2. I'm using Microsoft Access as the front end (using Pass Through Queries) and SQL Server on the back end.
I have a complex query which has to do a few calculations. I'm using subqueries to do the calcs, but most of the calcs have to use a value gotten from the first subquery. I don't want to have to type the subquery out each time, so is there a way of assigning it to a variable or putting it in a UDF or SP?
E.g. I have a table with 2 cols - amount, date.
SELECT total_amount, closing_amount, FROM table1 GROUP BY month(date)
Total amount is the SUM(amount) for the month. Closing amount is the Total Amount plus the amounts for the current month with a few extra calcs.
As I have to use SUM(amount) in the second subquery, is there a way I can do it without having to type hte subquery out again?
This is only a basic example, what I'm trying to do will invovle a lot more calcultions.
I'm new to SQL Reporting Services but have made some decent headway. I'm stumped by one issue though: How do I repeat a field over and over on a single line?
To elaborate:
I have a table of backup job failures, with a reason and the time it failed. ID | Reason | Time 1 | No tape | 3/13/3008 2 | Bad drive | 3/14/2008
I'm trying to create a summary, and I want to list the information as follows:
There were 2 failed backup jobs on 3/13/2008, 3/14/2008
My SQL query is as follows: SELECT Time, COUNT(*) AS NumFailures FROM FailedBackups GROUP BY Time ORDER BY Time ASC
How do I "loop" the Time field on a single line in Reporting Services?
How is the best way to make a function for summing an arbitrary number of times values (table parm?)- I 've read it's necessary to convert to seconds, sum then convert back, but Im' wondering if there's an alternative.
Here's the example I want to sum: 00:02:01:30 00:01:28:10 00:01:01:50 00:06:50:30 00:00:01:50
I’m binding the distinct values from each of 9 columns to 9 drop-down-lists using a stored procedure. The SP accepts two parameters, one of which is the column name. I’m using the code below, which is opening and closing the database connection 9 times. Is there a more efficient way of doing this? newSqlCommand = New SqlCommand("getDistinctValues", newConn)newSqlCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure Dim ownrParam As New SqlParameter("@owner_id", SqlDbType.Int)Dim colParam As New SqlParameter("@column_name", SqlDbType.VarChar)newSqlCommand.Parameters.Add(ownrParam)newSqlCommand.Parameters.Add(colParam) ownrParam.Value = OwnerID colParam.Value = "Make"newConn.Open()ddlMake.DataSource = newSqlCommand.ExecuteReader()ddlMake.DataTextField = "distinct_result"ddlMake.DataBind()newConn.Close() colParam.Value = "Model"newConn.Open()ddlModel.DataSource = newSqlCommand.ExecuteReader()ddlModel.DataTextField = "distinct_result"ddlModel.DataBind()newConn.Close() and so on for 9 columns…
Lets say I have a User Defined Function. I need to call the UDF a number of times within the same View. However, the results are not as expected. The only way (I know of) is to have seperate instances on the same function saved under different names. Is there a way to call a single UDF multiple times within a View without the returned values being messed-up?
I have basic SQL query that returns a one column result set. For each row returned in this result set, I need to pass the value in the column to a stored procedure and get back a result set.
I have 2 solutions, neither of which are very elegant. I'm hoping someone can point me in a better direction.
Solution 1: Use a cursor. The cons here, are the SP returns a result set on each pass which generates multiple result sets overall. If there is a way to combine these result sets, I think this solution might work.
Solution 2: Use a temp table or table variable. The cons here are, if the schema of the result set returned from the stored procedure changes, the table variable will have to change to accommodate it. This is a dependency I'd rather not create.
I am importing xml multiple times a day from a vendor. However when SSIS created the ID's for nested XML data it is not unique. So importing the first time and I get 3-4 records it looks fine. However subsequent imports all use the same ID's so it isn't unique, how do I go about changing this as I cant find anything about it.
we have a table in database , which has multiple triggers defined by Vendor. I have created our own custom trigger on this table also , which fires last. Goal of this custom trigger is to send an email, when ever update happens on table. But somehow trigger is firing multiple times for same update, so it is sending multiple email for same update also
