Transact SQL :: Populate Column On Insert Based On Value From Another Table

Jul 26, 2015

I have the following 2 tables:

Table: classes  Columns: classID, hp
Table: char_active  Columns: name, classID, hp

The classes table is already populated.

What I want to do is insert a new row into char_active using the name and classID column, and have the HP column auto populate based on the corresponding value in the classes table. This is the trigger I wrote but I'm getting the error

Incorrect syntax near 'inserted'.

I'm new to sql, this is actually the first trigger I've tried writing. 

create trigger new_hp on curr_chars.char_active
instead of insert
as
declare @hp tinyint
select @hp=lists.classes.hp from lists.classes where lists.classes.classID=inserted.classID
insert into curr_chars.char_active (name, classID, hp) inserted.name, inserted.classID, @hp
go

Fastest Way To Extract Values From An XML Column

Mar 5, 2008

 Hi, I have a table with one XML type column. This column holds custom field information. Its used as a way of storing ad hoc fields and data that don't fit the DB design. <?xml version="1.0"?><contact><Reference>A39390TFH</Reference><Misc>all kinds of stuff go in here</Misc></contact>I want to provide a way of displaying the data stored in this column in the same DataTable as normal relational data from the same table. I have been able to achieve this goal BUT I want to know if the community had any ideas on how I could speed the process. I am using the XML  value() function. It allows me to extract the data I need.    SELECT Name, Number, Reference FROM

(

SELECT Name, Number, xmlvalues.value( ' (contact/Reference)[1] ', ' varchar(40) ' ) as Reference

From MyTable

WHERE Name = 'Some Dude'

AND xmlvalues is not null

) T

GROUP BY Name, Number, Reference anyone know if there are better xml functions to get this data out of the XMLColumn??????  There is no schema, because each xml fragment has different tags and different values.  Regards Niall

Trying To Populate A Name Column

Sep 18, 2006

I am trying to update a name column in the following way: (I wrote a description, but I think this visual is easier to understand).

This is what I have:

name1 name2 address etc

Bob null 123 street

Sue null 123 street

Jack null ABC circle



This is what I want:

name1 name2 address etc

Bob Sue 123 street

Jack null ABC circle



I'm just trying to get 2 names on the same row if they have the same address and get rid of the spare row. Name2 is currently null. Seems simple enough but I don't know how to do it in SQL. I can do it in FoxPro, but that doesn't help me here.

Thanks for any ideas.

Using Cursors To Populate A Column

May 10, 2002

I am trying to populate a column with date/time info, I am doing this so I can use getdate() on the data for other computations (the format is mon/day/yr/hours/mins, i was told only data having mon/day/yr format can be used with getdate()). The code below says that dateyest is an invalid object name. Actually, any kind of insert I do reports the same error, no matter what column it is (securty on my account is all set, as well as for the stored proc.). I must be overlooking something very simple, right? thanks for the help!

DECLARE @dateYest datetime
DECLARE Cur668 CURSOR
Keyset
FOR
SELECT cast(date1 as datetime) dt
FROM baclosetable
OPEN Cur668

fetch next from cur668 into @dateyest

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
if @dateyest is not null
Insert dateyest VALUES (@dateYest)
fetch next from cur668 into @dateyest
END
CLOSE Cur668
DEALLOCATE Cur668

Populate Column That Contains Some Blanks With A Defined Value

Jan 8, 2015

I am looking for a query which will populate one of my columns that contains some blanks with a defined value based on a value in another column

For example in the below table I would like the blanks in serial number to be populated with "SN09"

Product_NameSerial_Number
PRODUCT1
PRODUCT1
PRODUCT2SN10
PRODUCT3SN11
PRODUCT3SN11
PRODUCT1

So the query I am looking for would basically add some values to the results where they meet the right criteria.

I am running the query through a view so I dont actually want to add the values to the physical tables only to the view of the results if you understand what I mean?

SQL 2012 :: Populate Int Column With A Sequence Of Numbers But Sorted By Another Field

Oct 8, 2015

The following works just fine. The table tmpMHPCLMDET does have a column ADMTDT ( varchar(8) ).

While I am adding the sequence of numbers I like it to be sorted based on ADMTDT column.

What that means is the row with the earliest ( smallest ) ADMTDT will get 1 and the next 2 and so on.

Declare @ID int
If Exists ( Select c.name from sys.columns c where object_id = object_id('tmpMHPCLMDET') and C.name = 'ServiceLineID' )
Begin
--Adding a sequence of numbers to the ServiceLineID column.
SET @id = 0
UPDATE tmpMHPCLMDET
SET @id = ServiceLineID = @id + 1;
End;

Transact SQL :: Find Unique Rows In Column That Are Associated With Another Field In Another Column?

May 1, 2015

I am having issues trying to write a query that would provide me the unique GUID numbers associated with a distinct PID if the unique GUID's > 1.  To summarize, I need a query that just shows which PID's have more than one unique GUID. A PID could have multiple GUID's that are the same, I'm looking for the PID's that have multiple GUID's that are different/unique. 

Table1

GUID PID
GUID1 PID1
GUID1 PID1
GUID1 PID1
GUID2 PID1
GUID3 PID2
GUID3 PID2
GUID3 PID2

The result of the query would only have PID1 because it has two unique GUID's. PID2 would not be listed has it has the same GUID3 in each row.

Result:

PID1

Column Name Or Number Of Supplied Values Does Not Match Table Definition When Trying To Populate Temp Table

Jun 6, 2005

Hello,

I am receiving the following error:

Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition

I am trying to insert values into a temp table, using values from the table I copied the structure from, like this:

SELECT TOP 1 * INTO #tbl_User_Temp FROM tbl_User
TRUNCATE TABLE #tbl_User_Temp

INSERT INTO #tbl_User_Temp EXECUTE UserPersist_GetUserByCriteria @Gender = 'Male', @Culture = 'en-GB'

The SP UserPersist_GetByCriteria does a
"SELECT * FROM tbl_User WHERE gender = @Gender AND culture = @Culture",
so why am I receiving this error when both tables have the same
structure?

The error is being reported as coming from UserPersist_GetByCriteria on the "SELECT * FROM tbl_User" line.

Thanks,
Greg.

Fastest INSERT

Mar 10, 2008

What is the fast way a stored procedure can copy a table from a linked server?

I would like to tune this statement, possibly with hints or other logging options. Assume that table_A and table_B have the exact table structure and that I want to preserve table_A and all its indexes and contraints. The table will be truncated before this load, if that helps in any way.

insert into table_A select * from OpenQuery(Server,'select * from Table_B')

Fastest Way Of Updating A Row

Jul 20, 2005

In relation to my last post, I have a question for the SQL-gurus.I need to update 70k records, and mark all those updated in a specialcolumn for further processing by another system.So, if the record wasKey1, foo, foo, ""it needs to becomeKey1, fap, fap, "U"iff and only iff the datavalues are actually different (as above, foobecomes fap),otherwise it must becomeKey1, foo,foo, ""Is it quicker to :1) get the row of the destination table, inspect all valuesprogramatically, and determine IF an update query is neededOR2) just do a update on all rows, but addingand (field1 <> value1 or field2<>value2) to the update querythat isupdate myTablesetfield1 = "foo"markField="u"where key="mykey" and (field1 <> foo)The first one will not generate new update queries if the record hasnot changed, on account of doing a select, whereas the second versionalways runs an update, but some of them will not affect any lines.Will I need a full index on the second version?Thanks in advance,Asger Henriksen
