Update A Table By Copying A Column From Another Table
Jul 20, 2005
I need to update a table by copying a column from another table
(having the same
structure, but on another database), from the record having the same
primary key.
1 - What is the correct query?
2 - I tried copying them record by record, but the datatype is ntext,
(it displays <long
text> in the result pane), and trying to update it results in the
following error
message:
The text, ntext, and image data types are invalid in this subquery or
aggregate
expression.
I tried variations of the following:
UPDATE TABLE
SET column0 = (
SELECTcolumn0
FROManotherDB.dbo.TABLE
WHEREanotherDB.dbo.TABLE.column1 = column1
)
WHEREanotherDB.dbo.TABLE.column1 = column1

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.

There are several easy ways to accomplish what I am trying to do in a simpler way however (long story short) this is something I need to learn for a much larger task in the near future.
O.K. I have a table named clients I'm trying to get started copying columns from the same table one by one. Lets say original table has these columns:
Database kokomain -- table dbo.clients
ID(pk) fname lname idate
I've created a blank temp table with the exact same schema and named it 'temp'. I've populated the id,fname and lname fields with the statement:
Insert Into kokomain.dbo.temp (cid,fname,lname) select c.cid,c.fname,c.lname from kokomain.dbo.clients c
Now, how could I add the idate field to the table as a separate query? I've tried several variations of things like...
INSERT INTO kokomain.dbo.temp (idate) select c.idate from kokomain.dbo.clients c where c.idate in (select idate from kokomain.dbo.temp)
No dice.
The correct statement would be greatly appreciated
Thanks.

I'm having difficulty bulk-copying a data file, using a format file, into a SQLServer 6.5 table with an identity column.
The data file is tab-delimited, and does not include the identity column (I want it to be automatically generated).
When I execute the following:
bcp DB1.dbo.WORK_TABLE in WorkTable.txt -Usa -P -fWorkTable.fmt -SSERVERX'
I receive this message:
Starting copy...
BCP copy in failed
I've had no problems loading a similar table without the identity column.
Can anybody help? Here is the table definition & bcp format:
CREATE TABLE WORK_TABLE
(
PersonID int NOT NULL IDENTITY (1,1)
,FirstName char(25) NULL
,MiddleName char(25) NULL
,LastName char(25) NULL
,Company char(50) NULL
,City char(25) NULL
,State char(2) NULL

)

I am trying to use a stored procedure to update a column in a sql table using the value from a variable table I getting errors because my syntax is not correct. I think table aliases are not allowed in UPDATE statements.
This is my statement:
UPDATE [dbo].[sessions_teams] stc
SET stc.[Talks] = fmt.found_talks_type
FROM @Find_Missing_Talks fmt
WHERE stc.sessionid IN (SELECT sessionid FROM @Find_Missing_Talks)
AND stc.coupleid IN (SELECT coupleid FROM @Find_Missing_Talks)

Need to update one table with value of a column in another table plus a constant:
UPDATE TABLE_A
SET TABLE_A.COLA=TABLE_B.COLB+'10'
FROM TABLE_A
INNER JOIN TABLE_B
ON TABLE_A.COLA=TABLE_B.COLA
WHERE TABLE_A.COLA=TABLE_B.COLA
The above statement works except the concatenated string has space between TABLE_B.COLB text and '10'. How to remove the space (4 characters) so that the string shows as one word 'TABLE_B.COLB10'?

hello all,
I don't know how to update table A with data from table B without specifying every column.
These two tables have the same fields and same structure.
I know that it's possible to do the following:
update table A
set A.name = B.name,
A.job = B.job
from table B
But I have many columns and don't want to describe every column, is that possible?
Thanks!

Hello,
Probabaly a silly question yet as a DOTNET developer, I'm trying to simulate DTS when for example, I don't have permission to perform DTS on a production server.
In particular and interested regards caching of rows before the service decides to flush the buffer and write to the target table. Safe to assume DTS is cursor based?

select * into dbo.ashutosh from attribute where 1=2
"USE WHERE 1=2 TO AVOID COPYING OF DATA"
//HERE "ASHUTOSH" IS THE NEW TABLE NAME AND "ATTRIBUTE" IS THE TABLE WHOSE REFERENCE IS USED//
//the logic is to use where clause with 1=2 which will never be true and hence it will not return any row//

I have "inherited" a project working on a SQL 2000 database. The project calculates commissions based on data from an invoice header table and an invoice details table. The goal is to extract data from the primary database tables, perform limited manipulations, and store the resultant data into a table in a different database for reference and reporting. I have the query complete that extracts and manipulates the data, but I am stuck in trying to add this data to the final storage/reporting table. I would also like to do error checking to be certain that a record is not "re-inserted" from the source data to the destination table. Thanks in advance, Barry

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.

I need to write a update statement which will update the same table with value from the same column but the values will be changing.
For an example.
The source table is as below.
ROWID DATA Header
1 AAA H1
2 isa1
3 isb2
4 AAA3b3 H2
5 same
Now the records with rowid 2 and 3 should be updated with H1 as Header which is present in the Rowid 1.
Similarly the record rowid 5 should be updated with H2 as header from rowid 4.

I am trying to remove a user from Reporting Services via code. I have found that the way to do this is to remove their details from an XML field in the table SecData
The name of the column is xml_description
An example value of the column is below:
<Policy>
<GroupUserName>BUILTINAdministrators</GroupUserName>
<GroupUserId>AQIAAAAAAAUgAAAAIAIAAA==</GroupUserId>
<Roles>
<Role>
<Name>Content Manager</Name>
[Code]....
I would like to remove the bolded part in the column when I put in the user's name.
So the code would start with:
Declare @username varchar (20)
Set @ username = 'EMEAMJohnson'
Followed by the logic to remove the bolded part of the column.
The column is called xml_description and the name of the table is SecData.

Hello all, was wondering if you could point me in the right direction for this.
I have a db with a column classifications, and in that column are 'Accountants - (1234)' 'Book-keepers - (18) etc etc. Now what I want to do is remove the - (xxxx) section and obviously the white space, so I am just left with 'Accountants' 'Book-keepers' etc.
1. Is there an easy way to do this?
Ok so my thoughts were create a another table and put the ammended classifications in that to update the first table. Your probably asking why not just do it on the first table...Answer. There are over 150,000 records to change.
So I now have my first table with column classification and my second table with the correct classification ammendments.
I can sit down and manually type
UPDATE table1
SET classifications = 'Accountants'
Where classifications = 'Accounts - (xxxx)'
until i have completed the entire list in table 2 but I was hoping you good people would know a way to work through the list so it would automatically update each classification correctly.
The problem I have here is I dont know how to work through table 2 and match it to something in table 1 and update it.
Any help is greatfully appreciated

Hi,
I am quite new in SSIS and I have a question. I don't know what is the best way to get it work...
So simply I have in my SQL Server database 2 tables :
First table "SER" fields
SER_ID
SER_IS_CHANGE_RELATED
where I have only the field SER_ID filled like
SER_ID SER_IS_CHANGE_RELATED
1234 NULL
1235 NULL
1236 NULL
Second table "SRE" fields
SRE_ID
SRE_SER_ID
SRE_CHA_ID
and the content would be for example
SRE_ID SRE_SER_ID SRE_CHA_ID
1 1234 2345
2 1234 2346
3 1236 2347
The 2 tables are related by the fields : SER_ID = SRE_SER_ID
So I would like to have the following result in my table "SER":
SER_ID SER_IS_CHANGE_RELATED
1234 True
1235 NULL
1236 True
"True" because one or more entry is present in table "SRE" for each SER_ID (= SRE_SER_ID)
Hope my example is clear....
Thanks for your help

I have a table with this structure
ID | Ticker
-------------------
1330 |AAB-Bank
1336 |AEGON
1367 |ALZSE
1420 |ASSGEN

I have a sproc called usp_validTicker that will take 2 parameters: ticker and date. It will return the valid ticker for that date.
I like to have the sproc going through each ticker in the table and return the valid tickers.
For example
exec usp_validTicker 'AAB-Bank','2008-6-10' will return 'AAB' and my final table will be

I have a simple question that is more about performance on my code for updating a column with the sum of two columns:
Example
Table = dbo.adding
c1 c2 c3Sum
1 2
3 5
4 6
Now if I just simple write
Update dbo.adding
set c3SUM = c1 + c2
This works, but there is a null in c1 or c2 then I know I can write this:
if exists (select * from dbo.adding where c1 is NULL)
Update dbo.adding
set c1 = '0', c3SUM = '0' + c2 where c1 is NULL
if exists (select * from dbo.adding where c2 is NULL)
Update dbo.adding
set c2 = '0', equals = c1 + '0' where c2 is NULL
Update dbo.adding
set c3SUM = c1 + c2
This works as well, but I am not sure how perficient it is being that from my understanding the code will evaluate the table three times and update it based on the criteria. If the table consists of 100,000 rows then this might not be a good solution
Is there a more proficient way to do this... I personally try to as little coding as possible to help increase performance. I know I can make this very complex and declare variables and put everything in a loop, but I personally think that would be less profient..

I'm trying to do the following:
update a tables value(a single column), based on a query of another database, using a common column.
Here's what I've cooked up so far:
Declare @trackingNo nvarchar (50)
Set @trackingNo =
(
select tracking_no from P21_Shipping.dbo.shipping_data t1
inner join P21.dbo.oe_hdr t2 on t1.order_no = t2.order_no
[Code] ...
print @trackingNoThe error it's returning is:
Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
So, I'm wanting to query Shipping_data for order_No that matches the same orderNo column value in P21 Database(oe_hdr table), then update P21 oe_hdr table with "trackingNo from Shipping_data
