Update Query Containg Static Data And Data From Another Table.
Sep 28, 2006
Hi,
First post so apologies if this sounds a bit confusing!!
I'm trying to run the following update. On a weekly basis i want to
insert all the active users ids from a users table into a timesheets
table along with the last day of the week and a submitted flag set to
0. I plan then on creating a schduled job so the script runs weekly.
The 3 queries i plan to use are below.
Insert statement:
INSERT INTO TBL_TIMESHEETS (TBL_TIMESHEETS.USER_ID,
TBL_TIMESHEETS.WEEK_ENDING, TBL_TIMESHEETS.IS_SUBMITTED)
VALUES ('user ids', 'week end date', '0')
Get User Ids:
SELECT TBL_USERS.USER_ID from TBL_USERS where TBL_USERS.IS_ACTIVE = '1'
Get last date of the week
SELECT DATEADD(wk, DATEDIFF(wk,0,getdate()), 6)
I'm having trouble combing them as i'm pretty new to this. Is the best
approach to use a cursor?
If you need anymore info let me know. Thanks in advance.
Can anyone tell me is it possible to put static data (a string) inside details section of a table? I've tried to find some more pieces of information in the Report Definition Language Specification, but to no avail.
When I put some strings as a detail's cells values they are displayed in the preview window in VS. But thay are invisible when I open my report using ReportViewer in my app. So does it means that the only accepted value of a cell within the details section of a table is a name of the field from DataSet (something like =Fields!FieldName.Value) ?
I have some data in Excel - sheet1 which would be static.
Now I need to import data from SQL Server (using a query) and Union above static data with this SQL data and later I will have to create PowerPivot table in Sheet2.
Which is suitable option for me to import data from SQL to excel as I see "From SQL Server" option under "Data" and "Power Query" tab as well.
How to merge above SQL data with existing static data?
I have created a table in a database for a football that I want to update as the season progresses. Is there any way I can add the new data to the old data in my columns through SQL rather than searching for the old data, doing the maths in my head and doing a simple update query? I know it doesn't save much extra time but I can get awful lazy when it comes to extra maths!
Example would be:
Player Minutes Adam 287
Adam has played 287 minutes prior to the most recent match in which he played 67 more. I would like to know if its possible to do an update where I can just simply add 67 onto the existing numbers with one query rather than find Adam's minutes, use a calculator, do a table update.
I have created an SSIS Package that takes data in an excel file and writes it to an Oracle Database. The excel file has 5 columns, but the database tabls has many additional columns. I would like to default some of these other columns for this job. For instance, I want to set the created and updated times to the time when the job ran, and set some other fields to values that will be consistent for every row in the job.
i someone had teach me how to write a query in datatable. however i need to get the data out from my database rather than the data table. can someone teach me how should i do it?esp at the first like.... like DataTable dt = GetFilledTable() since i already have set of data in my preset table i should be getting data from SqlDataSource1 right ( however i am writing this in my background code or within <script></script> so can anyone help me? protected void lnkRadius_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { DataTable dt = GetFilledTable(); double radius = Convert.ToDouble(txtRadius.Text); decimal checkX = (decimal)dt.Rows[0]["Latitude"]; decimal checkY = (decimal)dt.Rows[0]["Longitude"]; // expect dt[0] to pass - as this is our check point // We use for rather than fopreach because the later does not allow DELETE during loop execution for(int index=0; index < dt.Rows.Count; index++) { DataRow dr = dt.Rows[index]; decimal testX = (decimal)dr["Latitude"]; decimal testY = (decimal)dr["Longitude"]; double testXzeroed = Convert.ToDouble(testX -= checkX); double testYzeroed = Convert.ToDouble(testY -= checkY); double distance = Math.Sqrt((testXzeroed * testXzeroed) + (testYzeroed * testYzeroed)); // mark for delete (not allowed in a foreach - so we use "for") if (distance > radius) dr.Delete(); } // accept deletes dt.AcceptChanges(); GridView1.DataSource = dt.DefaultView; GridView1.DataBind(); }
I are using a BULK INSERT to insert the data from a ascii file to a sql table. The table has a ProductInstanceId column that exists in the tables but does not exist in the ascii DICast data. I am setting the ProductInstanceId to a Guid that will be used for Metrics. I would like to create the Guid in C++ and then set it somehow during the BULK INSERT DICastRaw1hr and DICastRaw6hr. I am calling the BULK INSERT from C++/ADO. I do not see how you can set a static data in the BULK INSERT for a column that exists in the table but does not the source data ... seems there should be a way to do this with the format file?
The other way to do this is with a TRIGGER. I have the TRIGGER below. Prior to the calling the BULK INSERT using ADO I will use ADO to ALTER the TRIGGER with the new Guid. When the BULK INSERT runs the ProductInstanceId will be populated with the new Guid.
ALTER TRIGGER DICastRaw1hrInsertGuid ON Alphanumericdata.dbo.DICastRaw1hr FOR INSERT AS UPDATE dbo.DICastRaw1hr SET ProductInstanceId = '4f9a44eb-092b-445b-a224-cc7cdd207092' WHERE modelrundatetime = (select max(modelrundatetime) from Alphanumericdata.dbo.DICastraw1hr(NOLOCK))
More Questions:
- The Trigger is slow. The Bulk Insert without the Trigger runs in about 10 sec ... with the Trigger in about 40 sec. I tried to use the sql code below in the TRigger but it was only doing the UPDATE on the last row. The TRIGGER must run after the BULK INSERT is complete. Now I am using the select (bad). Any comments ...
ALTER TRIGGER DICastRaw1hrInsertDate ON Alphanumericdata.dbo.DICastRaw1hr FOR INSERT AS DECLARE @ID as integer SELECT @ID = i.recordid from inserted i UPDATE dbo.DICastRaw1hr SET ProductInstanceId = '4f9a44eb-092b-445b-a224-cc7cdd207092' WHERE recordid = @ID
- I understand that I could set the Guid in the Default Value part of the table definition using the NEWID() function. I need the Guid to be the same for all the rows that are inserted during the BULK INSERT (all have the same modelrundatetime) ... how would I do this?
I put togehter a package that opens a flat file, parses the data based on the semi-colon delimeter, and imports the rows into a database table. Thats the fun easy part.
What I cant figure out is how to add a variable that will hold a constant ID value that will be persisted with the same value to all rows inserted to the DB. Making the problem harder, I would like that this value be defined in a properties file or database table of some sort so that I can do a lookup based on the file name / location to find out what value should be used.
Any suggestions? I hope my explanation makes at least some sense - but basically I want to do a look up in a configuration of some sort, pull out a single value, and add it to a data import.
I have a table called ADSCHL which contains the school_code as Primary key and other two table as
RGDEGR(common field as SCHOOl_code) and RGENRl( Original_school_code) which are refrencing the ADSCHL. if a school_code will be updated both the table RGDEGR (school_code) and RGERNL ( original_schoolcode) has to be updated as well. I have been provided a new data that i have imported to SQL server using SSIS with table name as TESTCEP which has a column name school_code. I have been assigned a task to update the old school_code vale ( ADSCHL) with new school_code ( TESTCEP) and make sure the changes happen across all 3 tables.
I tried using Merge Update function not sure if this is going to work.
Update dbo.ADSCHL SET dbo.ADSCHL.SCHOOL_CODE = FD.SCHOOL_Code FROM dbo.ADSCHL AD INNER JOIN TESTCEP FD ON AD.SCHOOL_NAME = FD.School_Name
I have some code (C#) that runs an SQL update query that sets thevalue of a column to what the user passes. So, this causes an errorwhen anything the user passes in has a ' character in it. I'm surethere's other characters that'll break it too. So, I was wondering,how do I get around this? Is there some commonly accepted regexpattern that will make the value safe to run in an SQL query? How canI take care of any values that need to be escaped?I'm not using any fancy ado.net objects:string sql= [whatever the user passes in]SqlConnection connection = newSqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrin gs[Utils.GetConnectionString].ToString());connection.Open();SqlCommand command = connection.CreateCommand();command.CommandType = CommandType.Text;command.CommandText = sql;try{int result = command.ExecuteNonQuery();if (result != 1){Response.StatusCode = 500;Response.Write("The file has been uploaded, but wecould not update the DB");Response.End();}}catch (InvalidOperationException){Response.Clear();Response.Write("error");Response.StatusCode = 500;Response.End();}connection.Close();
I'm a bit of a newby to creating update queries so I was hoping those moreexperienced could help with what should be a simple query. I do know tocreate backups and test on a test database first.I need to copy an items' cost from location 'CA' to the cost in location'OH' when the cost in 'CA' is not zeroTable name is ITEMSLocation column is LOCCost column is COSTHere's the Select statement from Enterprise Manager's Open Table, Query toolSELECT loc AS Expr1, cost AS Expr2FROM ITEMSWHERE (loc = 'CA') AND (cost <> 0)I just can't seem to get this into a working Update query.Thanks in advance...
I'm trying to update a single record in a table using data from a single record in another table. For the life of me I can't figure this out. I'm trying to avoid having to write a bunch of +=" string stuff in C#. Is there any way to do this with just SQL?Thanks in advance.
I want to add to a column in one table the data in another. I have tried different update statements and none work. My update statement currently looks like this:
update t1 set t1.amtYTD = t1.amtYTD + t2.Total from #ProgramData t1 join vw_MER_Reclass t2 on (t1.ProjId = t2.ProjId and t1.task = t2.task and t1.acct = t2.acct)
I need to take the amtYTD in table1, and add to it the value of Total in table 2.
SELECT ContactID,FirstName,MiddleName,LastName,Description FROM Contact
Contact table contains 4 columns as explained. in the application there is one tab called Contact where it displays Above information and description is non editable.Now the new requirement has come user can update the description information and save information in a new column say 'Description1'. that means new column needs to be added in the db and also necessary changes needs to be done at the application side
For ex :SELECT ContactID,FirstName,MiddleName,LastName,Description,Description1 FROM Contact
Now when user views the contact table it should display description info by default from 'description' table.If he edits he should see edited data from 'description1' table.the logic should if updated data is there display that data from 'description1' table other wise display from 'description' table
I want to update table2.message based on the criteria of table1.name. for example, all records named John will be updated with 'Msg1' in table 2.message. I am using MS SQL 2000 and below is the scenario.
table1 columns ID Name
table2 columns ID Message
Select a.Id, a.name, b.message from table1 a, table2 b where a.id =b.id
a.id a.name b.message 1 John Msg1 2 Steve Msg2 3 Scott Msg3 4 John NULL - update b.message to 'Msg1' 5 Steve NULL - update b.message to 'Msg2' 6 Scott NULL - update b.message to 'Msg3' 7 John NULL - update b.message to 'Msg1' 8 Steve NULL - update b.message to 'Msg2'
If i will update the record per name i am using the query below and i am pre-selecting all the existing names.
update table2 b set b.message=(Select top 1 b.message from table1 a, table2 b where a.id =b.id
[Code] ...
How to update this in bulk without preselecting all the names?
OK, I'm trying to add some audit type information to a set of tables in my database. This involves adding 2 columns and sticking some data into those two columns. The columns themselves are added successfully, but I'm having troubles sticking any data into them - I'm getting a lot of errors. What I want to do is put a single character code in one column, and a datetime in the second. Here's the SQL I'm trying...
Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string.
I tried changing the datetime column to varchar, and CONVERT(varchar(30),@TxDateTime). That gets rid of the above error, but replaces it with the following (twice, I might add - one for each column?):
Msg 213, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Insert Error: Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition.
Any help is appreciated - let me know if you need more info.
in my original database have a column which is for "path" ,the record in this column is like → �mms://192.12.34.56/2/1/kbe-1a1.wmv】 this kind of column is about 1202,045 .. I don't think is a easy job to update by person.. it may work but have to do same job 1202,045 times..
I have to change � mms://192.12.34.56/2/1/kbe-1a1.wav】 to � mms://202.11.34.56/2/1/kbe-1a1.wav】 I tried to find the reference book and internet . can't find out the answer for this problem. can you help? or maybe is it a impossible job? thanks
I need to update the Denominator column in one row with the value from the Numerator column in a different row. For example the last row in the table is
c010A92NULL
I need to update the Denominator, which is currently NULL, with the value from the Numerator where the MeasureID=c001 and GroupID=A.

Can you please suggest the procedure to implement the above requirement(insert/update/delete)
I'm attempting to explore the functionality of SSIS and all the available data flow transformations, and I'm trying to learn how to use the tool correctly. How would someone update a table with data which is calculated from that same table. This is a made up example. Lets say I have a table:
I would like to populate the field color_count with the count of items listed with that color.
Data: tst_key object color color_count 1, chair blue NULL 2, table black NULL 3 lamp black NULL ---- So the last column for 1st rec value would be 1, and for 2nd and 3rd, would be two. tst_key object color color_count 1, chair blue 1 2, table black 2 3 lamp black 2
-- With T-SQL I would use the following code:
update tst_source
set color_count = res.cnt
from tst_source
Inner join (select count(tst_key) cnt,color
from tst_source
group by color) res
ON res.color = tst_source.color
But I would like to use the Data Transformations. Can someone explain in great detail which Data Transformation tasks I would need to use?
Is it possible to allow a user to insert and update data in a table but prevent them from performing deletes against that same table? For auditing purposes I need to prevent the end users from being able to delete data.
I have a table dbo.Sales that contains all sales records. There is a column in that table called ItemNumber that I'd like to match with ItemNumber in a flat file and update the ItemCost based on the ItemCost column in the flat file.
So while there will be many sales records for each ItemNumber, I need to loop through and update the ItemCost in that sales record based on the corresponding ItemCost in the flat file. Does this make sense? I really need this for court and I can't figure out how to do it. I took a SQL course about 7 years ago but have forgotten everything.
There will be many sales records for each ItemNumber in the database table. I need to update each one with correct cost based on the item number and cost mapping from flat file.
Every month a client sends a spreadsheet with data which we use to update matching rows in a table in the database. I want to automate this using a DTS package but am having quite a bit of trouble accomplishing what I think should be trivial task. I've been attempting to use a Transform Data Task with a modification lookup but I just keep inserting the rows from the source excel spreadsheet in to the existing destination table without ever modifying the existing data.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated as to a best practice approach.
I need to update a large table, about 55 million rows, without filling the transaction log, in the shortest time as possible. The goal is to alter the table and change the data type for Text column from VARCHAR(7900) to NVARCHAR(MAX).
Since I cannot do it with an ALTER TABLE statement (it would fill up the transaction log) I'm thinking to:
- rename column Text in Text_OLD - add Text column of type NVARCHAR(MAX) - copy values in batches from Text_OLD to Text
The table is defined like:
create table DATATEXT( rID INTEGER NOT NULL, sID INTEGER NOT NULL, pID INTEGER NOT NULL, cID INTEGER NOT NULL, err TINYINT NOT NULL,
[Code] ....
I've thought about a stored procedure doing this but how to copy values in batch from Text_OLD to Text.
The code I would start with (doing just this part) is the following, but maybe there are more efficient ways to do it, or at least there's a better way to select @startSeq in the WHILE loop (avoiding to select a bunch of 100000 sequences and later selecting the max).
declare @startSeq timestamp declare @lastSeq timestamp select @lastSeq = MAX(sequence) from [DATATEXT] where [Text] is null select @startSeq = MIN(Sequence) FROM [DATATEXT] where [Text]is null BEGIN TRANSACTION T1 WHILE @startSeq < @lastSeq
