Is there any way to update multiple tables in a single query. I know we can write triggers. Apart from triggers, is there any other way available in SQL Server. I am using 2008R2.

This a microsoft SQL 2000 server.
I have a DB with mutliple tables that have a column called "Date_stamp", which is used as a primary ID.
Here is my problem:
Some of tables have a bad datetime entry for the "Date_stamp". The bad entry is '2008-3-18". I need to delete this entry from every single table that has a name similary to 'Elect_Sub%Daily'.
I know how to get the user table names from the DB as follows:
SELECT name
FROM dbo.sysobjects
WHERE xtype = 'U' and name like 'Elect_Sub%Daily'
What I need to do is have a query that will basically scroll through the tables name produced by the above query and search and delete the entries that read '2008-3-18".
delete from tableName where Date_Stamp = '2008-3-18'
Hi! I have a general SQL CE v3.5 design question related to table/file layout. I have an system that has multiple tables that fall into categories of data access. The 3 categories of data access are:
1 is for configuration-related data. There is one application that will read/write to the data, and a second application that will read the data on startup.
1 is for high-performance temporal storage of data. The data objects are all the same type, but they are our own custom object and not just simple types.
1 is for logging where the data will be permanent - unless the configured size/recycling settings cause a resize or cleanup. There will be one application writing alot [potentially] of data depending on log settings, and another application searching/reading sections of data.
When working with data and designing the layout, I like to approach things from a data-centric mindset, because this seems to result in a better performing system. That said, I am thinking about using 3 individual SDF files for the above data access scenarios - as opposed to a single SDF with multiple tables. I'm thinking this would provide better performance in SQL CE because the query engine will not have alot of different types of queries going against the same database file. For instance, the temporal storage is basically reading/writing/deleting various amounts of data. And, this is different from the logging, where the log can grow pretty large - definitely bigger than the default 128 MB. So, it seems logical to manage them separately.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions from the SQL CE experts with regard to my approach. If there are any tips/tricks with respect to different data access scenarios - taking into account performance, type of data access, etc. - I would love to take a look at that.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions,
Bob
I'm trying to update a checkbox from "False" to "True" within a single table for multiple records. I can update a single record using the script below. However, I'm having trouble applying additional Id's to the string.
(Works) - Update Name_Demo set KEY_CONTACT = 'true' where ID = 225249
(doesn't work) - Update Name_Demo set KEY_CONTACT = 'true' where ID = '225249, 210014, 216543'
It says query executes successfully but returned no rows.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm trying to update a table with a value that is dependent on another table.
Scenario
Table 1 has 2 fields: FieldID, FieldA
Table 2 links each Table 1 row to a specific row in Table 3 using FieldID
Table 3 has 2 fields: FieldID, FieldA
I need to update Table1.FieldA to equal the value in Table3.FieldA in the appropriate row.
I was attempting this along the lines of:
UPDATE Table1
SET Table1.FieldA=
(
SELECT DISTINCT Table3.FieldA FROM Table1, Table2, Table3
WHERE Table1.FieldID=Table2.Table1ID
AND Table2.Table3ID=Table3.FieldID
)
However, I realised that the select query would not know which Table3 row to look at.
I hope that makes sense and if someone can help me urgently I would be most appreciative!

we have some tables in a many-to-many relationship. when data is changed in a row in one table, simultaneous changes are also made to a second table. this may not be the best way to do what we are doing, but it's the way it is today. if we were to use merge replication with column-level tracking and a conflict occurs in a column in either table, we want the row for both tables to be including in the conflict and resolved together. we don't want the row for a table that no conflict occured to be updated while the other row in the other table where the conflict did occur to not be updated. is there a way to wrap two updates to two tables in a transaction? or link them together in a single "conflict resolution transaction"? i don't see any online documentation referencing this scenario. if there is documentation on this, i would appreciate a pointer to it.
thanks,

Below is the query for my procedure
ALTER PROC [dbo].[sp_GetInvitationStatusTest]
(
@invited_by NVARCHAR (50)
)
AS
BEGIN
-- SELECT * FROM dbo.Merck_Acronym_Invitations WHERE invited_by=@invited_by
select distinct t1.invited_isid as 'ISID', t1.invited_name as 'NAME',t1.invitation_status as 'STATUS',
[Code] ....
If you look at the where clause i have invited by , i get the desired output if i just provide 1 name in the execution such as exec [dbo].[sp_GetInvitationStatusTest] 'marfilj' But my requirement is to make the procedure work with more than one input variable such as exec [dbo].[sp_GetInvitationStatusTest] 'marfilj','sujith' now i should get the output for 2 people but if i run this i receive the following error Procedure or function sp_GetInvitationStatusTest has too many arguments specified.
how to make my procedure work with more than 1 input variable?
The recipe preparation instructions are stored in a table by RecipeID. The prep instructions are in a single VARCHAR(MAX) column and look something like this:
1. Boil Water
2. Add noodles
3. Add cheese sauce
4. Stir well
Now they want this single VARCHAR(Max) column broken into 2 columns - Step and Prep Instruction like this: Boil WaterAdd noodlesAdd cheese sauceStir well.I figure I can use the appearance of a number followed by a period and a space to determine the existence of a new row. How would I accomplish this in T-SQL?
We have control table which will be useful whether we need to start the job or not. If we are starting the Job we will make it to 1.

GEO_D 0
DATE_D 0
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.
Hi,
I'm using ASP with a JScript variant and MSSQL Server 2000. I would like to write a script that basically erases all data except for a few things.
Is there a way to update multiple tables at once without having to write lines and lines of code? I tried UPDATE tbl1,tbl2 SET uid='asc', but to no avail. It gave me a syntax error. My thinking behind it is something like... UPDATE dbo.* SET uid='mferguson' and after that I can delete stuff like DELETE dbo.*... Any ideas?
I know the above is ASP, I've tried this thread in the ASP forum with no avail... they referred me to this forum.
Hi All,
My database's design is set out here. In summary, I'm trying to model a Stock Exchange for a Technical Analysis application written using Visual C++. In order to create the hierachy I'm using a Nested Set Model. I'm now trying to write code to add and delete equities (or, more generically, nodes) to the database using a form presented to the user in my application. I have example SQL code to create the necessary add and delete procedures that calculate the changes to the values in the lft and rgt columns, but these examples focus around a single table, where as my design aggregates rows from multiple tables using UNION ALL:
Code Snippet
CREATE VIEW vw_NSM_DBHierarchy -- Nested Set Model Database Hierarchy
AS
SELECT clmStockExchange, clmLeft, clmRight FROM tblStockExchange_
UNION ALL
SELECT clmMarkets, clmLeft, clmRight FROM tblMarkets_
UNION ALL
SELECT clmSectors, clmLeft, clmRight FROM tblSectors_
UNION ALL
SELECT clmEPIC, clmLeft, clmRight FROM tblEquities_
Essentially, I'm trying to create an updateable view but I receive the error "UNION ALL View is not updatable because a partitioning column was not found". I suspect that my design in wrong or lacks and this problem is highlighting the design flaws so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
We are building an application for online system for people to place ADs for selling various used items like Car, Electronics, Houses, Books etc.
If someone selling a car then he can fill out headline, year, make, model, mileage, transmission, condition, color, price, description, contact etc.
Similarly if someone selling a digital camera he will fillout headline, memory, zoom, megapixel, maker, model, color, batter, description etc.
Option 1: I can have a main table to hold the common attributes of all different types of ADs (headline, images, contact, price, color, condition, description)
+ 1 table to store string values of all ADs (car: maker, model, square feet (if house), memory, megapixel (camera) etc)
+ 1 table to store the droplist select values(car: transmission, door, seat etc; house: year_built)
pros: single table for all ADs. unique IDs for all ADs, easy to extend as new attributes can be dropped easily.
cons: lot of physical reads of 2nd and 3rd table from join. 10 times physical reads compared to option 2 when reading 5000 records.
Option 2: have different set of table for each AD type. Car will have its own main table + 1 table to store multiselect list box values.
Similarly housing will have its own set of tables
pros: 10% less physical read than option 1.
cons: hard to add new attributes. We have to modify the main table by adding one column.
Query will go to different table based on the category.
Do you have any suggestions on which way to go?Thanks
I need to export data from multiple tables into one single file. The big problem here is that the tables will have different column types.
I am attempting to create something that allows users to be able to send me the contents of their tables's, through either email or ftp. I would prefer to make it easier for them so they only have to deal with one file, instead of the multiple files that bcp and dts create when exporting from multiple tables.
I was thinking of using DTS or BCP and then join (append) the files (either zip them or append the files together in some fashion), but I was hoping that there was an easier method out there.
Any ideas on how I may accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.

how to count from multiple tables. So currently I pull two separate reports to show the count of TaskIDs by customer state and another to show WrapID by Customer state for last month:
TaskID Count by Customer state Query:
---------------------------------------
SELECT CU.CustomerState as 'State'
,Count (CM.TaskID) as 'CaseCount'
From Customer CU
LEFT OUTER JOIN ACN_CCPCaseManagementTask CM ON CU.CustID=CM.CustID
[code]...
I am wanting to add both these counts into a single report so i tried the follow query but the counts don't match to the reports I pull separately.
SELECT CU.CustomerState as 'State'
,Count (CM.TaskID) as 'CaseCount'
,Count (CW.WrapCodeID) as 'WrapCount'
From Customer CU
LEFT OUTER JOIN ACN_CCPCaseManagementTask CM ON CU.CustID=CM.CustID
LEFT OUTER JOIN acn_ccpwrapcode
[code]....
I would like to know if it's possible to return a single record by joining the tables below. [Persons]
PersonID [int] | PageViewed [int]

3 2
4 12
[PersonNames] - PersonID JOINS Persons.PersonID
PersonID [int] | NameID [int] | PersonName [nvarchar] | PopularVotes [int]
=============== ============== ======================= ===================
1 1 Samantha Brown 5
1 2 Samantha Green 10
2 3 Richard T 10
3 4 Riko T 0
4 5 Sammie H 0
[AltNames] - backup for searches caused by common spelling mistakes
AltNameID [int] | AltNames [nvarchar]
================ =============================
1 Sam, Samantha, Sammie, Sammy
2 Riko, Rico
[PersonAllNames] - JOINS [PersonNames.NameID] ON [AltNames.AltNameID]
NameID [int] | AltNameID [int]
============= ================
1 1
4 1
3 2
This is ideally what I'd like to have returned: PersonID | PageViewed | MostPopularName | NameSearch
========= ============ ================= =================
1 10 Samantha Green Samantha Brown, Samantha Green, Sam, Samantha, Sammie, Sammy
2 5 Richard T Richard T
3 2 Riko T Riko T, Riko, Rico
4 12 Sammie H Sammie H, Sam, Samantha, Sammie, Sammy
[MostPopularName] is [PersonNames.PopularVotes DESC].[NameSearch] combines all records from [PersonNames.PersonName] and [AltNames.AltNames].
The purpose for this is that I'd like to cache the results table so that all searches can just perform a lookup against the NameSearch field.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Pete.

Hi,
I want to design a report in which it will contain fields derived from 2 different stored procedures. I understand a 'table' can display data from a single dataset. How can i bind these two stored procedures into a single dataset so as when i click on the table and use its property 'DataSetName', to be able to select the dataset which holds all columns from stored proc 1 and stored proc 2. How can i link multible tables ( multible stored procedures with different column names in each one) into a single dataset to feed the report?
Thank you

Hi,
I want to combine a series of outputs from tsql queries into a single flat file destination using SSIS.
Does anyone have any inkling into how I would do this.
I know that I can configure a flat file connection manager to accept the output from the first oledb source, but am having difficulty with subsequent queries.
e.g. output
personID, personForename, personSurname,
1, pf, langan
***Roles
roleID, roleName
1, developer
2, architect
3, business analyst
4, project manager
5, general manager
6, ceo
***joinPersonRoles
personID,roleID
1,1
1,2
1,3
1,4
1,5
1,6
I have a package that contains three database tables (Header, detail and trailer record) each table is connected via a OLE DB source in SSIS. Each table varies in the amount of colums it holds and niether of the tables have the same field names. I need to transfer all data, from each table, in order, to a flat file destination.

Is it possible to update two tables in a single update query by comparing rows in two tables?
Something like this:
UPDATE h

c.Updated = 'YES'
FROM tblCheckNumber as c

I have a delimited text file with 650+ columns. The sum of the column lengths of a single row, if fully populated, exceeds 30K bytes. The "killer" fields lengthwise are the "Description" fields. If they were removed from the input file, the remainig columns would occupy about 5000 bytes, which is within SQL max row length.
Can SSIS be used to created these two tables? (one without description fields, the other with those field but arranged vertically in the table rows).
The fundamental issue is I can not import a single file row into a sql table because that row length could exceed the max byte count for a row.
I have the following two tables....
tblTimeEntry
-entryID
-entryDate
-entryUser
-entryJob
-entryTask

If data does not exist in fromtblTimeEntry I want to display a blank entry but still need weekDay and date from tblWagesWeeks.
