The tables:
TBLPROVIDERS holds the info on game providers
TBLGAMES holds information on the main game
TBLGAMESFORMAT holds information on the various formats the games exist in.
I have a simple view to list the PROVIDERNAME and TITLE of all our current downloadable games (which are FORMATID = 1). What I need to add is an additional column that shows the value 'web' if that GAMEID also has an entry in the TBLGAMESFORMAT table with a FORMATID = 2.
SELECT dbo.TBLPROVIDERS.PROVIDERNAME, dbo.TBLGAMES.TITLE
FROM dbo.TBLGAMESFORMAT INNER JOIN
dbo.TBLGAMES ON dbo.TBLGAMESFORMAT.GAMEID = dbo.TBLGAMES.GAMEID INNER JOIN
dbo.TBLPROVIDERS ON dbo.TBLGAMESFORMAT.GFDEVELOPER = dbo.TBLPROVIDERS.PROVIDERID
WHERE (dbo.TBLGAMESFORMAT.FORMATID = 1)
Is there anyone out there that has a simple solution?
In Integration Services I am trying to extract pieces of information from Excel. I would like to select just information from one cell but when I do that I get an error. What I'm typing in is:
SELECT *, Now() FROM [Sheet1$A1]
Here is the error: ------------------------------ Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [170]]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft JET Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'Sheet1$A1'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.".
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [170]]: Unable to retrieve column information from the data source. Make sure your target table in the database is available. ------------------------------ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Exception from HRESULT: 0xC020204A (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap) ------------------------------
The only way that I can get the contents of one cell is if I type in a range and indicate in the Connection Manager that the first row has column names. Given that, to get the contents of A2 I am having to type in:
SELECT * , Now() FROM [Sheet1$A1:A2]
This gets me what I want but by using this method I am never able to get information in Row 1. That could pose a problem in the future and I'm sure that there is a better way to do it.
So my question is, how can I get something from a single cell without having to name a range?
Two other questions I have are: 1. Is there a way to get information in one statement from cells that aren't adjacent to one another. For instance, if I wanted the contents of just A2 and C4?; 2. Is there a way that you could select a named range from Excel? That would be good because then I could have Excel control the range and then just call that.
I know this is a lot but I have an impending project where I'll need to do much of this and I have only ever imported the contents of an entire sheet and not specific cells from a worksheet.
I'm very familiar with Oracle at a conceptual level and need tounderstand MSSQL as well. Can anyone point me to a document/web pagethat describes the different files used in MSSQL and a discussion of howthey relate? (ex. with Oracle, there is tempdb, redo, archive, db files,rollback, etc.)
Hello everyone ! I want to perform Full Text Search with SQL Server 2000. My documents (.doc, .xls, .txt, .pdf) are stored in a SQL Server field which is binary (the type of the column is image). I would like to know, how you can extract pieces of text from the documents. Example: I have a ASPX page with codebehind in C# making the search in a table in SQL server that is full text indexed. I make a search looking for the word "peace", than SQL server will take care about the search and return it to me the rows that match with that. But also I'd like to extract the 50 characters before and after where sql server found the word "peace" to show in the result page. Does anyone has any idea how to work around it ? Best regards.

I am attempting to create a stored procedure that will launch at report runtime to summarize data in a table into a table that will reflect period data using an array type field. I know how to execute one line but I am not sure how to run the script so that it not only summarizes the data below but also creates and drops the table.
I have a text file which needs to be created into a table (let's call it DataFile table). For now I'm just doing the manual DTS to import the txt into SQL server to create the table, which works. But here's my problem....
I need to extract data from DataFile table, here's my query:
select * from dbo.DataFile where DF_SC_Case_Nbr not like '0000%';
Then I need to create a new table for the extracted data, let's call it ExtractedDataFile. But I don't know how to create a new table and insert the data I selected above into the new one.
Also, can the extraction and the creation of new table be done in just one stored procedure? or is there any other way of doing all this (including the importation of the text file)?
I'm not sure if this could be done, but if anyone has any insight on how to do this please let me know...
Currently, I have a table that has a field of Categories. I recently created a Category table in which each category has it's own ID.

Hi AllWonder if you could help, I have a bog standard table called STOCKPRICESthat has served me well for a while, but now I need to change the structureof it and because a number of users have used it in it's present form I needto so the following in SQL script:a) Grab a snapshot of the current SQL data.b) Re-structure the STOCKPRICES table.c) Post this grabbed data back, but in the new format.My script plan was to firstly to rename the current STOCKPRICES table toSTOCKPRICESOLD (you can do this can't you), create a new STOCKPRICES tablein the new format and then somehow extract the data from STOCKPRICESOLD andsquirt it into STOCKPRICES.The current schema for STOCKPRICES is as follows:# --------------------------------------------------# Table structure for table 'STOCKPRICES'# --------------------------------------------------DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `STOCKPRICES`;CREATE TABLE `STOCKPRICES` (`STOCKID` VARCHAR(30),`CURRENCYID` VARCHAR(30),`HDNETAMOUNT` DECIMAL(10,3) DEFAULT 0,`HDTAXAMOUNT` DECIMAL(10,3) DEFAULT 0,`RRPNETAMOUNT` DECIMAL(10,3) DEFAULT 0,`RRPTAXAMOUNT` DECIMAL(10,3) DEFAULT 0,`NETAMOUNT` DECIMAL(10,3) DEFAULT 0,`TAXAMOUNT` DECIMAL(10,3) DEFAULT 0,INDEX `indxCUURENCYID` (`CURRENCYID`),INDEX `indxSTOCKID` (`STOCKID`));Like I said it's very basic.My new table wants to be like the following:# --------------------------------------------------# Table structure for NEW table 'STOCKPRICES'# --------------------------------------------------DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `STOCKPRICES`;CREATE TABLE `STOCKPRICES` (`STOCKID` VARCHAR(30),`CURRENCYID` VARCHAR(30),`PRICELEVELID` VARCHAR(30),`NETAMOUNT` DECIMAL(10,3) DEFAULT 0,`TAXAMOUNT` DECIMAL(10,3) DEFAULT 0,INDEX `indxPRICELEVELID` (`PRICELEVELID`),INDEX `indxCUURENCYID` (`CURRENCYID`),INDEX `indxSTOCKID` (`STOCKID`));The new re-structure means that PRICELEVELID will include a unique referenceto the HD, RRP, standard prices (plus 3 others that I'm going to create).I know this probably very simple data architecture to you guys, but I'm sureyou can appreciate why I need to change the structure to this method so thatI'm not creating redundant data fields if the user only enters a standardprice I won't be storing nothing for the 2 x HD and 2 x RRP price fields.I don't think I've got a problem renaming the old one and re-creating thenew one, but how do I get the data from one to another?My problem is that I have:code, currency, hdnet, hdtax, rrpnet, rrptax, net, taxIVP GBP 2.00 0.35 200.00 35.00 100.00 17.50etc...and I need to get it into the format:code, currency, pricelevelid, net, taxIVP GBP hd 2.00 0.35IVP GBP rrp 200.00 35.00IVP GBP standard 100.00 17.50etc...Any ideas?RgdsLaphan
I have a column defined as smalldatetime. Default length (4), and "allow NULLS" is checked.In the Enterprise Manager UI, when i enter data into that table row, if i just tab past that column, all is well, and the value is represented in the UI as <NULL>.The problem comes once i ever enter a date into that column. Say i have entered a date (all is well), and now i want to remove that entry and go back to NULL (after the date value has been committed, different entry session, say).How is that done?It seems to me, once a date has ever been entered into that column, now, if i try to remove it, i get the error "The value you entered is not consistant with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit". I have tried deleting the value, entering spaces, entering the string NULL or the string <NULL>; maybe some other tries as well, but none works, i always get that error message and am not allowed to proceed past that cell until i restore a date value to it. I want to get back to <NULL>.Anybody know?Thank you.Tom
I am stuck on finding a solution to transpose source data from a system via a metadata look-up table into a destination table. I need a method to transpose/pivot the source data into columns (which are by various data-types). The datatypes for each column are listed in a metadata table.

I have SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMS Express) and SQL Server 2005 Express (SS Express) installed in my Windows XP Pro PC that is on Microsoft Windows NT 4 LAN System. My Computer Administrator grants me the Administror Privilege to use my PC. I tried to use SQLQuery.sql (see the code below) to create a table "LabResults" and insert 20 data (values) into the table. I got Error Messages 102 and 156 when I did "Parse" or "Execute". This is my first time to apply the data type 'decimal' and the "VALUES" into the table. I do not know what is wrong with the 'decimal' and how to add the "VALUES": (1) Do I put the precision and scale of the decimal wrong? (2) Do I have to use "GO" after each "VALUES"? Please help and advise.
Thanks in advance,

I'm trying to insert data into a table from two tables into a single table along with a hard coded value.
insert into TABLE1 (THING,PERSONORGROUP,ACCESSRIGHTS) VALUES ((select SYSTEM_ID from TABLE2 where AUTHOR IN (select SYSTEM_ID from TABLE2 where USER_ID =('USER1'))),(select SYSTEM_ID from TABLE2 where USER_ID =('USER2')),255)
I get the following-

Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
What is the best way to transfer data from the staging table into the main table.
Example: Staging Table Name: TableA_satge (# of rows - millions) Main Table Name: TableA_main (# of rows - billions)
Note: Staging table may have some data same as the main table.
Currently I am doing: - Load data into staging table (TableA_stage) - Remove any duplication of rows from the staging table (TableA_stage) - Disable all indexes on main table (TableA_main) - Insert into main table (TableA_main) from staging table (TableA_stage) - Remove any duplication of rows from the main table using CTE (TableA_main) - Rebuild indexes on main_table (TableA_main)
The problem with the above method is that, it takes a lot of time and log file size grows very big.
I am trying to insert bulk data into main table from staging table in sql server 2012. If any error comes, this total activity is rollbacked. I don't want that to happen. I want to know the records where ever the problem persists, and the rest has to be inserted.
I have two tables that share a common identity row. I need to build a query where data that exists in one table does not contain data in the other table. For example, table 1 has columns of Owner_ID, LastName, FirstName and table 2 has columns Auto_ID, Owner_ID, AutoMake. Both tables are joined by the Owner_ID column. I need a query that provides all owners from table 1 who do not have an entry in table 2.
If on the source I have a new column, the script generated by SqlPackage.exe recreates the table on the background with moving the data into a temp storage. If the table is big, such approach can cause issues.
Example of the script is below: in the source project I added columns [MyColumn_LINE_1] and [MyColumn_LINE_5].
Is there any way I can make it generating an alter statement instead?
BEGIN TRANSACTION; SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE; SET XACT_ABORT ON; CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tmp_ms_xx_MyTable] ( [MyColumn_TYPE_CODE] CHAR (3) NOT NULL,
[Code] ....
The same script is generated regardless the table having data or not, having a clustered or nonclustered PK.
Here is the scenario, I have 2 stored procedures, SP1 and SP2
SP1 has the following code:
declare @tmp as varchar(300) set @tmp = 'SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET ( ''SQLOLEDB'', ''SERVER=.;Trusted_Connection=yes'', ''SET FMTONLY OFF EXEC ' + db_name() + '..StoredProcedure'' )'
EXEC (@tmp)
SP2 has the following code:
SELECT * FROM SP1 (which won't work because SP1 is a stored procedure. A view, a table valued function, or a temporary table must be used for this)
Views - can't use a view because they don't allow dynamic sql and the db_name() in the OPENROWSET function must be used. Temp Tables - can't use these because it would cause a large hit on system performance due to the frequency SP2 and others like it will be used. Functions - My last resort is to use a table valued function as shown:
FUNCTION MyFunction ( ) RETURNS @retTable ( @Field1 int, @Field2 varchar(50) ) AS BEGIN -- the problem here is that I need to call SP1 and assign it's resulting data into the -- @retTable variable
-- this statement is incorrect, but it's meaning is my goal INSERT @retTableSELECT *FROM SP1
I have a transaction table having about 40 crore rows in source. It don't have timestamp and unique key columns. It have only Bill_month and Bill_Year columns. Actually for loading this table into staging I have added a new datetime column by adding default bill_date as 01. Then
* First we delete last 3 month data from staging tables. * Get last 3 months data from source table. * Load that 3 months data from source to staging table.
We do this because we only get update for last three months data. Now I have to include this transaction table as Fact table in DW. What will be the best practice for loading the fact table by picking data form staging table. Also we have to look up with dimensions for Foreign Keys.
* Should I implement the same method of deleting last 3 months records and loading them again.
Hi, I have a table in which I will insert several redundant data. Don't ask why, is Integration services, it only reads data and inserts it in a SQL table. THis way, I have a SQL table with several lines repeating them selves. What I want to do is create a procedure that reads the distinct data and inserts it in another table, but my problem is that I am not able to select data line by line on the original table to save it in local variables and insert it on the another table, I just can select the last line. I've tried a while cycle but no succeed. Here is my code: create proc insertLocalizationASdeclare @idAp int, @macAp varchar(20), @floorAp varchar(2), @building varchar(30), @department varchar(30)select @idAp = idAp from OLTPLocalization where idAp not in (select idAp from dimLocalization)select @macAp=macAp,@floorAp=floorAp,@building=building,@department=department from OLTPLocalizationif (@idAp <> null)beginInsert into dimLocalization VALUES(@idAp,@macAp,@floorAp,@building,@department)endGO This only inserts the last line in the "oltpLocalization" table. O the other hand, like this:create proc aaaaasdeclare @idAp as int, @macAp as varchar(50), @floorAp as int, @building as varchar(50), @department as varchar(50)while exists (select distinct(idAp) from OLTPLocalization)begin select @idAp =idAp from OLTPLocalization where idAp not in (select idAp from dimLocalization) select @macAp = macAp from OLTPLocalization where idAp = @idAp select @building = building from OLTPLocalization where idAp = @idAp select @department = department from OLTPLocalization where idAP = @idApif (@idAp <> null)begin insert into dimLocalization values(@idAp,@macAp,@floorAp,@building,@department)endendgo this retrieves every distinct idAp in each increment on the while statement. The interess of the while is really selecting each different line in the OLTPLocalization table. I did not find any foreach or for each statement, is there any way to select distinct line by line in a sql table and save each column result in variables, to then insert them in another table? I've also thought about web service, that reads the distinct data from the oltpLocalization into a dataset, and then inserts this data into the dimLocalization table. Is there anything I can do?Any guess?Really needing a hand here!Thanks a lot!
i have 2 tables (both containing the same column names/datatypes), say table1 and table2.. table1 is the most recent, but some rows were deleted on accident.. table2 was a backup that has all the data we need, but some of it is old, so what i want to do is overwrrite the rows in table 2 that also exist in table 1 with the table 1 rows, but the rows in table 2 that do not exist in table one, leave those as is.. both tables have a primary key, user_id.
Hello everyone,Small and (I think) very simple quesiton;-) which makes me creazy.Let's say I have two tables listed below:T1====IDX====134T2===============IDD fk_IDX===============A1A2A4B1B3B4C4D1D2D3D4I would like to select from table T2 all distinct records IDD whichhave all of fk_IDX containded in T1.The select statement should return in this case ONLY:B and Dbecasue:B has 1,3,4andD has 1,2,3,4 so it has this combination 1,3,4 contained in the T1also.I've tried to do that with group by, with having, in and it neverworks (I always became all records which one of them is in this T1table).Maybe some one from you did try something like that, and can give afast answer.I will be very greatfullGreatingsMateusz
I have a requirement of table partitioning. we have 10 years of data on a table which is 30 billion up rows on 2005 server we are upgrading it to 2014. we have to keep 7 years of data. there is no keys on table or date column. since its a huge amount of data and many users its slow down the process speed. we are thinking to do partition on 7 years for Quarterly based. but as i said there is no date column on table we have to use reference table to get date. is there a way i can do the partitioning with out adding date column on table? also does partition will make query faster?
I have think three ways to do it. 1. leave as it is. 2. 7 years partition on one server 3. 3 years partition on server1 and 4 years partition on server2 (for 4 years is snapshot better?)
