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.
I am trying to run an update statement against a vendor's database that houses HR information. If I run a regular select statement against the database with the following query, it returns without error:
SELECT "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDDAT-INT", "NAME"."INTERNET-ADDRESS", "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDFLD-FIELD-ID", "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDTBL-TABLE-ID" FROM "SKYWARD"."PUB"."NAME" "NAME", "SKYWARD"."PUB"."QUDDAT-DATA" "QUDDAT_DATA" WHERE ("NAME"."NAME-ID"="QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDDAT-SRC-ID") AND "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDTBL-TABLE-ID"=0 AND "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDFLD-FIELD-ID"=16 AND "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDDAT-INT"=11237When I try to convert it into an
[Code] ....
I am assuming I am receiving this error because it doesn't know where to find QUDDAT-INT? How can I fix that?
The "QUDDAT-INT" column houses the employee number. So in the case of the SELECT query above, I am testing against a specific employee number.
Got a beginner question here... Let's say I have a database table that houses server information with four columns: make, model, serial #, ip address. And assume there are ten rows with that information filled out. How could I display all the rows of information on a single webpage (ASP.NET), with all the fields being editable; and a single save button that would send any changes to the database (in reality I guess it would be sending all rows and fields to the database, and just overwrite the previous data).
Could a page such as that be created using FrontPage 2003 or Dreamweaver MX 2004?
This would be strictly for updating information. I would have a separate form for adding a new entry.
I am renovating an existing application and am converting the existing passwords into hashed values using SHA1. I know how to compute the hashed values as a byte array for each record. What I don't know how to do easily is update all of the records i a single call to the database. Normally, I would just do the following:UPDATE HashedPassword = someValue WHERE UserID = 101; UPDATE HashedPassword = someOtherValue WHERE UserID = 102; ...
What I don't know is what someValue and someOtherValue should be. How do I convert my byte array into string representation that SQL will accept? I usually execute multiple statements using Dim oCmd as New SqlCommand(sSQL, MyConn) and then call oCmd.ExecuteNonQuery(). Alternatively, I found the following code that uses the byte array directly but only shows a single statement. How could I use it to execute multiple statements as shown above?'FROM http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/103002-1.2.aspx

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
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.
I would like to know if it's possible to return a single record by joining the tables below. [Persons] PersonID [int] | PageViewed [int] =============== ================= 1 10 2 5 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.
I have 3 tables with the follwing schema Table <Category> {
UniqueID, LastDate DateTime }
Assume the follwing tables with data following the above schema
Table Cat1 {
1, D1 2, D2 3, D3 } Table Cat2 {
2, D4 3,D5 4, D6 } Table Cat3 {
1, D7 3,D8 5,D9 }
I have a Master and the schema is as follows Table master {
UniqueId, Cat1 DateTime, -- This is same as the Table name Cat2 DateTime, -- This is same as the Table name Cat3 DateTime -- This is same as the Table name }
After inserting the data from all these 3 tables, I want the my master table to look like this Table Master {
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?
I have created an SSIS package which processes daily financial information to a sql server database. These processes are to be outputted to excel spreadsheets to a readable report format for management to review. Some of these reports are laid out in a way that is not just tabular output but requires customized placement of data on an excel spreadsheet to specific cells.
I am able to place an initial resultset of a query output from the database in a tabular excel template through SSIS but the issue is at the end of that placement in the spreadsheet I am required to place another output below that tabular output in a different format from the initial output which I have shown below.
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.
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.
I would like to update/insert data into a Orderhearder Table along with the related details into the corrosponding OrderDetails Tables. Can this be done using a single stored procedure or do we have to make one call to the UpdateOrderHeader Stored Procedure and loop thru all the details and call the UpdateOrderDetails Stored Procedure. How do we handle the Transactions in such a case ?
My Requirement ,In Source Database 5 tables are there ( Emp,Loc,dept,Time,Product ), Destination is Single Excel file.But Dynamically how to load each table information to load into each sheet wise through SSIS Package?
Table Name:-emp table structure:- Name Gender A Male B Male C FeMale D FeMale I want only one update query to update this table like this table structure:- Name Gender A FeMale B FeMale C Male D Male please help me?
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.
