I'm running into problems with ambiguous column names. TransID also exists in tblWork. I tried adding SHPD + WORK, but it won't accept the SHPD on the UPDATE line. How do I code around this error? Thanks.
UPDATE tblShipmentDet SHPD
SET
SHPD.Quantity = WORK.Quantity
FROM tblWork WORK
WHERE TransID = WORK.RecordID

I'm planning an upgrade to SQL Server 2012 and noticed the following.
We have a query that includes a duplicate column name in the SELECT statement. This query happens to work in a db we have that is set to SQL 2000 (80) compatibility level, but the same exact query fails when I set the db to SQL 2008 (100) compatibility level.
I am getting an ambiguous column name error, but I am aliasing the column in question. The problem seems to be that I'm trying to use the same column in 2 inner joins:
select trackprice.id from trackprice tp inner join track tr on tp.trackid = tr.id inner join trackstorage ts on ts.trackid = tr.id inner join ... etc ....
.... gives me the error 'ambiguous column name trackid' - can this not be done with inner joins this way?

I have a query that is exhibiting a strange behaviour on different databases.
I've got something like this ...
select a.col, ... from tab1 as a inner join ... union select a.col, ... from tab1 as a inner join ... order by col
I know how to fix the problem, I make the last line read "order by a.col" ... that is understood.
However, on some databases I get an error and on others I don't. All databases are on the same server instance which is sql server 2005 developer (developer version isn't relevant as it happens on customer machines too).
I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas why it is 'random'. It's as though the statement is being compiled differently on different databases ... what is influencing that ?
I'm fishing for a way to create a workaround, so if anyone has any ideas it might push me down the road of understanding why.
The real code is way too big to include here and it's not really relevant.
As a clue to what I'm looking for, if I copy the database to another database using SSIS, the resultant database doesn't cause the error despite being logically the same.
Presumably it is some physical or security difference that is causing the error to occur.

Hi all,A (possibly dumb) question, but I've had no luck finding a definitiveanswer to it. Suppose I have two tables, Employees and Employers, whichboth have a column named "Id":Employees-Id-FirstName-LastName-SSNetc.Employers-Id-Name-Addressetc.and now I perform the following join:SELECT Employees.*, Employers.*FROM Employees LEFT JOIN Employers ON (Employees.Id=Employers.Id)The result-set will contain two "Id" columns, so SQL Server willdisambiguate them; one column will still be called "Id", while theother will be called "Id1." My question is, how are you supposed toknow which "Id" column belongs to which table? My intuition tells me,and limited testing seems to indicate, that it depends on the order inwhich the table names show up in the query, so that in the aboveexample, "Id" would refer to Employees.Id, while "Id1" would refer toEmployers.Id. Is this order guaranteed?Also, why does SQL Server use such a IMO brain-damaged technique tohandle column name conflicts? In MS Access, it's much morestraightforward; after executing the above query, you can use"Employees.Id" and "Employers.Id" (and more generally,"TableNameOrTableAlias.ColumnName") to refer to the specific "Id"column you want, instead of "Id" and "Id1" -- the"just-tack-on-a-number" strategy is slightly annoying when dealing withcomplex queries.--Mike S

I have a package that I migrated from DTS. There are several "execute SQL" tasks that take an Input parameter of "myVariable", which is a string defined at the package level and has a default value assigned to it.
However, the package is throwing this error:
Error 1 Validation error. Err LogComletion : Failed to lock variable "myVariable" for read access with error 0xC001F032 "The variable name is ambiguous because multiple variables with this name exist in different namespaces. Specify namespace-qualified name to prevent ambiguity.".
How come I cannot use this variable when defined at the package level? If I move the variable to the task level, it works fine, but I want to re-use the variable in several places in the package.
I'm brand new to this forum and I'm stuck. We've got a query which queries three tables: booking, catheter and patients. The following (dodgy) query has pulled off the data for years, without problems:
SELECT CARDIAC_CATHETER.CARDIAC_CATHETER_ID, CARDIAC_CATHETER.OPERATOR1, CARDIAC_CATHETER.TEST_DATE, BOOKING.STATUS, BOOKING.TEST_DATE AS BOOKING_TEST_DATE, BOOKING.PROCEDURE_DATE_TIME, CARDIAC_CATHETER.ITEM_NO, CARDIAC_CATHETER.BILLING_CATEGORY, PATIENTS.REFERRING_PHYSICIAN1, PATIENTS.HOSPITAL_UNIT_NUMBER FROM (CARDIAC_CATHETER INNER JOIN PATIENTS ON CARDIAC_CATHETER.PATIENT_ID = PATIENTS.PATIENT_ID) LEFT OUTER JOIN BOOKING ON PATIENTS.PATIENT_ID = BOOKING.PATIENT_ID AND 'CATHETER' = BOOKING.CLINIC AND BOOKING.STATUS <> 'CANCELLED' AND BOOKING.PROCEDURE_DATE_TIME >= (CARDIAC_CATHETER.TEST_DATE - 1) AND BOOKING.PROCEDURE_DATE_TIME < (CARDIAC_CATHETER.TEST_DATE + 1) WHERE CARDIAC_CATHETER.TEST_DATE > '2005-04-01' AND CARDIAC_CATHETER.BILLING_CATEGORY LIKE '3%'
About 2500 perfect rows and 12 rows which have duplicate catheter id values. There are six pairs of duplicated records. It's only the cardiac_catheter.catheter_id and cardiac_catheter.test_date which are duplicated - the first row shown below contains correct values, the second doens't. The other values returned, on both rows, are correct. Here is some sample data:
Can someone help with this syntax? I have a non-sensicle examplebelow, but it illustrates the problem if you copy/paste into QA.**********************************use pubsgoupdate authors set address = 'some address'from authors ainner join authors a2 on a.zip = a2.zip---------------------------------------------Server: Msg 8154, Level 16, State 1, Line 2The table 'authors' is ambiguous.**********************************
I'm a newb and this has been giving me a trouble for a while.
Code Block SELECT class.classcode, classname, instrFirst, instrLast, csDay, CONVERT(nvarchar(30), csStart, 8), CONVERT(nvarchar(30), csEnd, 8) FROM class, class_section, instructor WHERE class.classcode = class_section.classcode Group By className Order By classname, csNum;
Msg 8120, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Column 'class.classCode' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
class and instructor and class_section are their own tables but classcode and instrID are foreign keys on the class_section table. If anyone can explain this as clearly as possible that would be great (the help examples are usually too complicated)
This could well be down to my _limited_ knowledge of XSD.
I have a document and SXD supplied by 3rd party.
Both documents are valid, according to XMLSpy.
When I give the document and xsd to SSIS XML Source it complains about ambiguous complex types.
In the XML doc there is an element called Allowance that has child elements.
There is also a group which references many other elements including Allowance.
When I remove the group, SSIS stops complaining about allowance.
Would the problem stem from SSIS creating an output called Allowance ('cause of it's children), getting to the group and again, 'cause allowance has children, try create another output called Allowance.
Is my understanding of this correct? Is there a work around for a situation like this?
The only thing I can come up with is deleting the group....
Possible to alias an element? Could alias the Group > Allowance g_Allowance.
I have a student table like this studentid, schoolID, previousschoolid, gradelevel.
I would like to load this table every day from student system.
During the year, the student could change schoolid, whenever there is a change, I would put current records schoolid to the previous schoolid column, and set the schoolid as the newschoolid from student system.
My question in my merge statement something like below
Merge into student st using (select * from InputStudent ins) on st.id=ins.studentid
When matched then update
set st.schoolid=ins.schoolid , st.previouschoolid= case when (st.schoolid<>ins.schoolid) then st.schoolid else st.previouschoolid end , st.grade_level=ins.grade_level ;
My question is since schoolid is et at the first line of set statement, will the second line still catch what is the previous schoolid?
I'm using SQL Server 7. I have an invoice table. The invoice table has a datetime column called InvoiceDate. The InvoiceDate column contains the following date format: 5/3/00 I would like to use the InvoiceDate column to update the char (6) column called zInvoiceDate as a formatted date field like yymmdd.
The following syntax did not work: SET zInvoiceDate = Convert([ARInvoiceID],GetDate()12)
When a user clicks a button, an sql query is fired which increments the view_count value by one and calculates a new percentage value from this. The query to update the percentage value doesn't work, here's the query:
UPDATE [statistics] SET percentage = follow_count / view_count * 100 WHERE (stat_id = 15)
This code worked fine with MySQL, but since migrating to MSSql it doesn't seem to work. The data type of the percentage column is: decimal(5, 2)
I have a problem i'v been searching all day but i can't find an answer anywhere maybe someone here can help. What I want to do is give a column in a table the same value as another column from the same table. For example: Table:Requests A request has a relatedrequestId wich links another request to it. Now I want the date from the linked request in the date from the master request. Because all the master requests date's are empty and i want them to have the date from the linked request.
Hi,I have table with three columns as belowtable name:expNo(int) name(char) refno(int)I have data as belowNo name refno1 a2 b3 cI need to update the refno with no values I write a query as belowupdate exp set refno=(select no from exp)when i run the query i got error asSubquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when thesubquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used asan expression.I need to update one colum with other column value.What is the correct query for this ?Thanks,Mani
i need to update the value in the column by adding to the value already in that column.
For eg, the value is in the column is already 5, i need to update it with addition of 8. i.e 5+8 = 13. The final value should be 13 in the column after that. How do I go about doing it?
UPDATE Table 1 SET ColumnName +=8 ?
Thanks in advance. really at a loss and very urgent.
I'm quite new to SQL and wondered if someone could help. I'm pretty good at writing reports but I now need to do an update.
Basically i need to update a column in table1 where coulmn 1 in table4 = Y, however to get to table4 I think I need to link to all 4 tables, table4 is the last table. The tables link based on ID's
Tried a few things such as
UPDATE table1 SET column1 = '' WHERE column1 IN ( SELECT column1 FROM table4 WHERE column1 = Y)
Now I need to get to table 4 I need some other wHERE clauses to link them together, just like I would if I were writing a SELECT statement.
I have a table with a column called data. In that column is a value like: <settings><myVarOne>valueOne</myVarOne><myVarTwo>valueTwo</myVarTwo></settings>
All I'd like to do, is update all the myVarOne values. So the new value for data would be: <settings><myVarOne>newValueHere</myVarOne><myVarTwo>valueTwo</myVarTwo></settings>
This will likely be SQL2000 not SQL2005 but it would be useful to know for both.
I've looked at OPENXML but all the examples seem keen on using sp_xml_preparedocument and then OPENXML needs the @idoc so I'm thinking there is something else.
If someone can point me in the right direction that would be extremely helpful as I haven't found anything that makes sense to me. UpdateGrams seems very overblown for manipulation like this when OPENXML is sooo very close to being correct.
Is it possible to update from one table to another?Pls examine my code here: UPDATE tStaffDir SET tStaffDir.ft_prevemp = ISNULL(tStaffDir_PrevEmp.PrevEmp01, ' ') + ' ' + ISNULL(tStaffDir_PrevEmp.PrevEmp02, ' ') + ' ' + ISNULL(tStaffDir_PrevEmp.PrevEmp03, ' ') + ' ' + ISNULL(tStaffDir_PrevEmp.PrevEmp04, ' ') + ' ' + ISNULL(tStaffDir_PrevEmp.PrevEmp05, ' ') Where tStaffDir_PrevEmp.ID=tStaffDir.ID I am trying to concatenate the columns from tStaffDir_PrevEmp to tStaffDir but I have this error where tStaffDir_PrevEmp is recognised as a column and not a table. Pls advise how this can be done. Many Thanks.
