i need to write a query that insert in A table if and only if the row does not exist already in the table (the source is a select statement).
i tried the following:
insert into [A]
select * from [B]
where Not EXISTS (select * from [A])
table [A] is still empty, but it does not insert any thing! .. what i know is that the EXIST checks if the selected row exists in the subquery, ain't ?
I'm inserting from TempAccrual to VacationAccrual . It works nicely, however if I run this script again it will insert the same values again in VacationAccrual. How do I block that? IF there is a small change in one of the column in TempAccrual then allow insert. Here is my query
INSERT INTO vacationaccrual
(empno,
accrued_vacation,
accrued_sick_effective_date,
accrued_sick,
import_date)

I have a table in different databases with the same name. My goal is to compare the two tables, and insert a record into the second table where there is not a match in the first table. So far, my query looks like the following:
SELECT [metal] FROM [ProductionDatabase].[dbo].[Metalurgy]
EXCEPT
SELECT [metal] FROM [TestDatabase].[dbo].[Metalurgy]
This gives me a list of records from [Production].[dbo].[Metalurgy] which do not reside in [TestDatabase].[dbo].[Metalurgy]. Now, I need to use that list to insert missing records into [TestDatabase].[dbo].[Metalurgy]. How can I modify the above code to INSERT the missing records?
I need to find out if a Transaction ID exists in Table A that does not exist in Table B. If that is the case, then I need to insert into Table B all of the Transaction IDs and Descriptions that are not already in. Seems to me this would involve If Not Exists and then an insert into Table B. This would work easily if there were only one row. What is the best way to handle it if there are a bunch of rows? Should there be some type of looping?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI want to insert the data from temp table to other table. Only condition is, it needs to sorted based on tool number and tool date. For example if we have ten records for tool number 1000, it should be order by tool number and then based on tool_dt. Both tables doesn't have any primary keys. Please find below my code. I removed all the unnecessary columns for simple understanding. INSERT INTO tool_summary (tool_nbr, tool_dt) select tool_nbr, tool_dt from #tool order by tool_nbr, tool_dt...But this query is not working as expected. Data is getting shuffled.

we have a table below
TABLE1
ID Roll Name Amount . . . . . . so on
---------------------------------------
1 2 Alex 500
2 5 Jones 600
3 2 Ales 400
and we have TABLE 2
ID Roll Name Amount . . . . . . . so on
In both the Tables ID Field is Identity Field and rest all the columns are identical in both the tables.I want to perform a query in such a way that SQL Should,
1) Remove all data from TABLE2 First
2) Select those records from TABLE1 where Roll = 2
3) Then, Insert the results to TABLE 2
So we should get the result similar to below:
ID Roll Name Amount . . . . . . . so on
---------------------------------------
1 2 Alex 500
3 2 Ales 400
how can I do this in a same sql statement.
Lets say we have two tables
tblPayments (Contains the records of Payments we made)
ID DATE AMOUNT BANK
----------------------------------------------------------
1 05/05/2015 5000 Natwest
2 05/05/2015 2000 Lloyds
3 05/06/2015 3500 Natwest
4 05/07/2015 4000 Natwest
5 05/08/2015 1500 Lloyds
tblReceipts (Contains the records of Receipts we received)
ID DATE AMOUNT BANK
----------------------------------------------------------
1 05/06/2015 5000 Natwest
2 05/06/2015 2000 Lloyds
3 05/07/2015 3500 Natwest
4 05/07/2015 4000 Natwest
5 05/08/2015 1500 Lloyds
Now, I also have a blank table (tblBankStatement) which contain the following columns
ID DATE RECEIPT PAYMENT BANK
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want that when I execute the query, the query should INSERT the records to the New Table (tblBankStatement) from
tblPayments and tblReceipts by Date Ordered in ascending way WHEREBank should be 'Natwest'.
Also the Amount Column Data in tblPayments should be Inserted into the Payment Column in tblBankStatement and the Amount Column Data in tblReceipts should be Inserted into the Receipt Column in tblBankStatement.
So I could get the data just like below
tblBankStatement
ID DATE RECEIPT PAYMENT BANK
--------------------------------------------------------------
1 05/05/2015 0.00 5000 Natwest
2 05/06/2015 0.00 3500 Natwest
3 05/06/2015 5000 0.00 Natwest
4 05/07/2015 0.00 4000 Natwest
5 05/07/2015 4000 0.00 Natwest
What query should I write to perform the task above.
I am trying to insert values from a temp table #TableName to a db table.
CATEGORY table- CategoryId, CategoryName, CategoryDescription
Then I did this :
Select CategoryName
into #TableName
from CATEGORY
Now I'm doing this :
Insert into #TestTable values(1,'This is:'+CategoryName)
select CategoryName from #Test
CategoryID right now is not PK.
So, the intention is to insert as many CategoryNames available into TestTable with id 1 and category name edited as shown in Inset statement.
What is wrong with this query. Its not working.
I am still learning T-SQL .Lets consider the table below, ID 1-3 shows our purchase transactions from various Vendors and ID 4-6 shows our payments to them
Table 1 - VendorTransactions
ID PARTY AMOUNT VOUCHER
---------------------------------------
1 A 5000 Purchase
2 B 3000 Purchase
3 C 2000 Purchase
4 A 3000 Payment
5 B 1000 Payment
6 C 2000 Payment
7 A 1000 Payment
Now we have a blank table Table 2 - Liabilities
ID PARTY AMOUNT
I want that SQL should look for each individual party from Table 1 and Calculate TOTAL PURCHASE and TOTAL PAYMENTS and then deduct TOTAL PAYMENTS from TOTAL PURCHASE so we get the remaining balance due for each party and then add the DIFFERENCE AMOUNT alongwith PARTY to the TABLE 2 so I can get the desired result like below
ID PARTY AMOUNT
-------------------------
1 A 1000
2 B 2000
3 C 0

In a special request run, I need to update locker and lock tables in a sql server 2012 database, I have the following 2 table definitions:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Locker](
[lockerID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[schoolID] [int] NOT NULL,
[number] [varchar](10) NOT NULL,
[lockID] [int] NULL
CONSTRAINT [PK_Locker] PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED
[Code] ....
The locker table is the main table and the lock table is the secondary table. I need to add 500 new locker numbers that the user has given to me to place in the locker table and is uniquely defined by LockerID. I also need to add 500 new rows to the corresponding lock table that is uniquely defined in the lock table and identified by the lockid.
Since lockid is a key value in the lock table and is uniquely defined in the locker table, I would like to know how to update the lock table with the 500 new rows. I would then like to take value of lockid (from lock table for the 500 new rows that were created) and uniquely place those 500 lockids uniquely into the 500 rows that were created for the lock table.
I have sql that looks like the following so far:
declare @SchoolID int = 999
insert into test.dbo.Locker ( [schoolID], [number])
select distinct LKR.schoolID, A.lockerNumber
FROM [InputTable] A
JOIN test.dbo.School SCH ON A.schoolnumber = SCH.type and A.schoolnumber = @SchoolNumber
JOIN test.dbo.Locker LKR ON SCH.schoolID = LKR.schoolID
AND A.lockerNumber not in (select number from test.dbo.Locker where schoolID = @SchoolID)
order by LKR.schoolID, A.lockerNumber
I am not certain how to complete the rest of the task of placing lockerid uniquely into lock and locker tables? Thus can you either modify the sql that I just listed above and/or come up with some new sql that will show me how to accomplish my goal?
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
I would like to compare values in the same table and get the single record with different values in the multiple columns.For table tab1, ID is my key column. If type1 is active (A) then i need to update X else blank on Code1 column and if type2 is active (A) then i need to update X else blank on code2 column. Both type1 and type2 comes from same table for same ID..Below is the example to understand my scenario clearly....
declare @tab1 table (ID varchar(20), dt date, status varchar(1), type varchar(10))
insert into @tab1 values ('55A', '2015-07-30', 'A', 'type1')
insert into @tab1 values ('55A', '2015-07-30', 'C', 'type2')
insert into @tab1 values ('55B', '2015-07-30', 'C', 'type1')
insert into @tab1 values ('55B', '2015-07-30', 'A', 'type2')

I'm trying to fill a temp table whose columns are the same as another table plus it has one more column. The temp table's contents are those rows in the other table that meet a particular condition plus another column that is the name of the table that is the source for the rows being added.
Example: 'permTable' has col1 and col2. The data in these two rows plus the name of the table from which it came ('permTable' in this example) are to be added to #temp.

In a t-sql 2012 sql update script listed below, it only works for a few records since the value of TST.dbo.LockCombination.seq only contains the value of 1 in most cases. Basically for every join listed below, there should be 5 records where each record has a distinct seq value of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Thus my goal is to determine how to add the missing rows to the TST.dbo.LockCombination where there are no rows for seq values of between 2 to 5. I would like to know how to insert the missing rows and then do the following update statement. Thus can you show me the sql on how to add the rows for at least one of the missing sequence numbers?

I have a job which executes hourly.
Essentially:
Begin
Truncate table A
Insert into A
(Col1,
Col2,
Col3...
)
Select Value1,
Value2,
Value3...
From Table B
End
The insert operation query takes approximately 3.5 minutes to execute. What's occurring is the Table is immediately truncated, and there are no rows in the table for those 3.5 minutes.
How can I avoid having this gap - where there are no rows in the table for that period of time during the job execution ? The table could be locked, but that doesn't seem like the best solution.

I would like to INSERT an array of integer into a table in MSSQL Server, then count the number of rows in the table with c++ using ODBC. Here you find my code to do this task:
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include<tchar.h>
#include <sql.h>
#include <sqlext.h>
#include<sqltypes.h>

In my code, I would like to Insert the array and then count the number of rows:
SQLTCHAR Statement[] = _T("INSERT INTO information1(Wert1,Wert2) VALUES(?,?) select count(*) as a from information1 ") ;
Problem : My expectation is, that first 9 rows are inserted into table then comes 9 as result to user (if the table is empty) but this code returns me 1 if first the table is empty. If the table is not empty, it returns 1+number of existing rows in the table. If I take a look inside the table, the 9 rows are successfully inserted in it. Only the number of rows in the table is wrong.

we can easily load a file into db tables. However, my main concern here is the number of columns in the file. A text file TEXT_1400.txt has 1400 columns. I am unable to load data to my db table using BCP or BULK INSERT commands, as maximum of 1024 columns are allowed per table in SQL Server 2008.
We can still go ahead and create ‘Wide Table’ (a special table that holds up to 30,000 columns. The maximum size of a wide table row is 8,019 bytes.). But when operating on wide table, BCP/BULK INSERT commands still fail. After few hours of scratching my head over BCP and BULK INSERT, I observed that while inserting BCP/BULK INSERT commands are unable to identify SPARSE columns and skip these columns, which disturbs column mapping and results in data conversion and trancation errors.
Is there any proper way to load this kind of files into the db table?

Hi,
I'm completely stuck in here.
I have two tables, for simplicity i'll call them tbl_X and tbl_Y and i'll call the unique key Ukey
I need to create a stored procedure that must be run daily on a scheduled time. When executed, it must compare these two tables and insert rows from tbl_X into tbl_Y when a row exists in tbl_Y but not in tbl_X.
The following code returns the rows that are in tbl_Y, but not in tbl_X:
----------
SELECT Ukey
FROM tbl_X
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT Ukey
FROM tbl_Y
WHERE tbl_Y.Ukey = tbl_X.Ukey)
----------
But....how do i insert these rows into tbl_X ?
I've tried to declare the tbl_Y.Ukey and use that to do an INSERT statement, but that didn't work out.
Any help or example code is highly appriciated!
