Oct 18, 2007Dear Friends,
what is best and quicker way to add 500 columns to existing table having 145 columns already.
Is there any way to avoid manual work of adding columns one by one in design mode or using script.
I have a TXT file (comma delimited) that contains all those columns names as a first row,but I am not sure if i can use DTS package to create table design having such sourcre TXT file.
Any advice?
Thanks,
SQL 2012 :: Adding Columns To Existing Table

Cannot Update ID Because Of No Existing Relationship
Mar 5, 2005I have one table Phone and a table SmsMessage that are linked by the Cellnumber. Cellnumber is the primary key in Phone.
For some reason in the table Phone the Cellnumbers are stored with extra spaces like: '+27000000000 ', but in the SmsMessage table the same value is stored as '+27000000000'. However when I want perform an update to trim the Cellnumbers, I get the message 'Cannot modify values Cellnumber in Phone because there are dependent values in SmsMessage.
The fact is that there are no dependent values, but for MSSQL '+27000000000' and '+27000000000 ' is the same????! Note that the function Len(Cellnumber) gives me the length of the string WITHOUT the spaces as well.
Even if I remove all relationships from Phone, I still get the same error. Are there more places in MSSQL where relationships are stored besides the Diagrams?
Or is there a command that tells MSSQL to ignore all relationships for the next query?
Any ideas?
How To Do An Update On Existing Records?
Jul 20, 2005I have one table of new records (tableA) that may already exist intableB. I want to insert these records into tableB with insert if theydon't already exist, or update any existing ones with new data if theydo already exist. A column (Action) in tableA already tells me whetherthis is an INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE. I'm able to derive that I can doan insert withselect * into tableB from tableA where Action = 'INSERT'....and I think I can handle the delete.But I'm stuck on the update. How do I do the update? An ordinaryUPDATE statement just won't do unless I use a cursor to cycle throughthe recordset. I want to avoid a cursor.

Dec 6, 2006IUpdating existing rows in a SQL server 2005 destination table
--I have a CSV file and every row needs to perform an update on a production table
The most straight forward is to use an OLEDB Command Data Flow Transformation Object that sends one SQL statement per row coming in. How do I configure this object ???
That might be okay if you've only got a small number of updates, however if you've got a large set, I prefer landing this set to a temporary table and then doing Set based updates in a following Execute SQL task. Can you please tell me how I can set up the Execute SQL Task to do set based updates in the Control flow??

SQL Server 2008 :: Add New Calendar Columns (January To December) To Existing Query?
Apr 8, 2015I have a requirement to add new calendar columns from Jan to Dec in an existing SSRS report based on certain conditions.
The report uses a simple query at the moment.
SELECT [PROJECT ID]
,[PROJECT]
,[STATUS]
,[ACTUAL START]
,[ESTIMATED END]
FROM Projects
The requirement to add the new calendar columns is based on the following conditions:
1. If the Status value is “2” then for each Month in the current year, shade in green for the particular current month
For example, if for a particular Project for month/year of April 2015
Year/Month(Actual Start date) is < = April 2015
and Year/Month(Estimate End date) > = April 2015, then April should be shaded green.
2. The logic needs to be repeated from each month in the current year.
3. Some Estimate and Actual dates run from previous year, or into next year, so year also needs to be taken into consideration.
find the DDL and sample data below.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Projects](
[PROJECT ID] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[PROJECT] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[STATUS] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[ACTUAL START] [datetime] NULL,
[ESTIMATED END] [datetime] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
insert into Projects
values('1','TFD','2','2015-01-31 00:00:00.000','2015-12-31 00:00:00.000')
insert into Projects
values('2','JUH','1','2015-02-01 00:00:00.000','2015-02-27 00:00:00.000')
insert into Projects
values('3','REFFD','2','2015-01-31 00:00:00.000','2015-11-30 00:00:00.000')
[code].....
how to rewrite the existing query to add new calendar columns in the report and then in the SSRS output shade green based on the above condition.
SQL Server 2008 :: Changing Large / Existing Table To Sparse Columns?
Sep 21, 2015I have some huge tables (think 200+GB for a single table) which are excellent candidates for sparse columns. The tables have many columns which are defined with decimal datatypes (13,2) with a large percentage of them (over 50% in most cases- some as much as 99%) being 0.00. Since this is very expensive in terms of storage my idea is to set all the 0.00 values equal to NULL then set them as sparse. Across 100 or so identical databases, I have 5 such tables, with 20-40 columns in each table.
1.) three steps for each column in each table in each db.
Step 1: update table to allow for nulls
Step 2: update tabe set column=null where column =0.00
Step 3 update table set sparse columns
2.)
Step 1: Create entirely new table with sparse column definitions
Step 2: copy entire table, transforming 0.00 to null for affected columns via SSIS
Step 3: drop original table, rename new table to original name

Insert On Existing Update In MS SQL Server?
Feb 6, 2007HelloI used to work in a Sybase database environment. When I had to insert/update records in the database, I always used "insert on existingupdate", in this way, you didn't have to check whether a recordalready existed (avoid errors) and you were always sure that afterrunning the scripts, the last version was in the database.Now I'm looking for the same functionality in MS SQL Server, asked afew people, but nobody knows about such an option.Does anybody here knows the SQL Server counterpart of "insert onexisting skip/update"? If this doesn't exist, this is a minus forMS ;).Greetz,Bart
View 4 Replies View RelatedUsing A Lookup To Update Existing Records
Jul 2, 2007Hi,
I'm building a package to import data from a flat file into a Customer table, and I have set up a Lookup to check if that customer already exists in this table, and if so, perform an Update command instead of the bulk load. I don't expect many updates, if any, this is why i just used the OLE DB Command instead of using a staging table.
I've a bit of a problem executing this within a transaction and having the lock table option set on the SQL Server Destination. Is there anyway I can get Transaction support for this Data Flow working, as I want to be able to rollback a complete file/import if possible.
Thanks

Integration Services :: SSIS 2008 R2 - Add Columns To Existing Mapping With Destination DB Table
Sep 8, 2015The only way to add a new column to an existing mapping that I know is to go to advanced editor and refresh. This however keeps only the default mapping (where the field names match), the rest is wiped out, so need to restore the mapping manually after that. Risky and annoying at the same time. Is there any alternative?

How Can Update Specific Column In Existing Table
Feb 4, 2006I am building a data warehouse. I have many columns I want to populate in a fact table using integration services. Sample fields are: companyID, companyName, companyNumberOfAccounts, company, NumberOfUsers.
In the integration services package, I would like to keep this fact table in place and populated with data and to build integration services packages that update each of the existing row's specific columns (e.g. companyNameOfAccounts) one by one. For example, I have a source of data that has companyID and companyNumberOfAccounts data.
Is it possible to use the SQL Server Destination or OLE DB Destination Integration Services elements to import companyID and companyNumberOfAccounts data so that existing records just have their companyNumberOfAccounts column updated?
Importing Data From Excel To Update Existing Fields
May 12, 2004I have an excel file that contains column A with names of components and products followed by column B which has each respective quantity on hand. I want to import that data to our website's SQL database that has a products table with a column, Pf_ID, that has only product names not component names and In_Stock which contains out-dated information that I want updated from column B of the excel file.
I think I've figured out how to use DTS and update the two fields, but I'm afraid that when everything runs new entries will be created with component information. Is it possible to specify that only rows where Pf_ID matches some row in column A that same row's column B will be used to update the data in In_Stock. I may have just made things too confusing than they need to be, but I don't have much experience with EM or Excel.
I'm also considering trying to write a macro that will match Pf_IDs in an exported excel file of the products table and take rows out of the excel file with current quantity information putting them in a new excel file to import into the website's database.
Please help, this is getting really confusing.

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Script To Update Existing Full Text Catalog?
Mar 17, 2015Have installed SQL Server 2008 R2 Express (includes SSMS tool) on Windows server 2008 R2 sp1 without any issues.Database created with no issues, full text catalog created via the wizard also with no issues but cannot run the process as a scheduled task of updating the catalog because the SQL agent is not available in the express version.
The full text index information is already being populated and updated by a third party application so this leaves just the catalog to be updated as and when new full text information is available.
I have a third party SQL scheduler which will run SQL scheduled tasks but requires a script to run the full text catalog update process
Is it possible to extract a script from the existing full text catalog to run the update process or how to create a script from scratch to do the same update catalog process in the third party scheduler?
SQL Server 2012 :: Update Table Based On Existing Values In Multiple Rows?
Oct 1, 2015The objective is to identify orders where an order fee has been applied incorrectly. I have multiple orders per customer, my table contains an orderID and a customerID. Currently if the customer places additional orders before the previous orders have been closed/cancelled, then additional fees are being applied.
Let's say I'm comparing order #1 to order #2. I need to identify these rows where the following is true:-
The CustID is the same.
Order #2 has a more recent order date.
Order #2 has a FeeDate Before the CancelledDate of Order #1 (or Order #1 has no cancellation date).
So in the table the orderID:2835692 of CustID: 24643 has a valid order fee. But all the subsequently placed orders have fees which were applied before the first order was cancelled and so I want to update the FeeInvalid column with a 'Y'. The first fee will always be valid.
I think I understand why the code I am trying doesn't achieve the result I want but I can't figure out how to write it correctly. Below is one example of code I've tried and also code to create the table and insert some test data.
update t1
SET FeeInvalid = 'Y'
FROM MockData t1 Join MockData t2 on t1.CustID = t2.CustID
WHERE t1.CustID = t2.CustID
AND t2.OrderDate > t1.OrderDate
AND t2.FeeDate > t1.CancelledDate

[OrderID] [float] NULL,

How Can You View The Connection String Of An Existing Datasource? How Do You Delete Existing Dataset?
Nov 14, 2007I went to look at the connection string previously entered for a dataset created in a new report, and am not seeing anything intuitive for bringing up the associated datasource dialog box that was used to enter name, type and connection string. I'm also noticing nothing intuitive for deleting an existing dataset. How do you do these two very simple things in an existing project? I dont see the dataset in solution explorer, I see it only in the text box on the data tab and in a limited kind of way on the dataset view where the columns show and maint is allowed mostly on the columns only. I tried hilighting the dataset here and hitting the delete key to no avail.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUpdate Only Changed Columns
Sep 25, 2007i there,
I've got a problem With updates on a Table.
I want to update only the Columns which are different to the values of my update-Statement.
One of the problems is an update trigger , which is fired on all update statements.
I want the trigger to be fired only when there are real changes.
Of course i can retrospectively check if there was a real, but i can't devide the real updatet colums from the non changed values. I know there is a statement like RowsUpdated but it doesn't work that way. It indicates also the non changed columns. To lock the row pessimistic read and compare the contents before update is also no option for me.
Is there any command to perform this in a smart way? Or should it be suggested for the next version of SQL-Server like "UPDATE CHANGES MY_TABLENAME SET MY_COLUMN= ... "
thanks in advance

UPDATE Column In Table1 From 2 Columns...
Jan 22, 2007Hey ya'll...
I need to create a query that I can run that will allow me to essentially take the first initial and last name and combine them from two columns in one table and update one column with that new data in another table. Example of need:
UPDATE tblLogin.UserName with (first character(tblEmployee.FName)+(tblEmployee.LName)) WHERE tblLogin.EmployeeID = tblEmployee.EmployeeID.
That was TOTALLY pseudo code and I know I'll need a join statement in there somewhere. Both tables reside on the same database, such as this:
dbEMPLOYEE (Database)--> tblLogin (Table)----> UserName (Column)--> tblEmployee (Table)----> FName (Column)----> LName (Column)
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Hopefully something soon - this was handed to me a few minutes ago and I have a few minutes to get it done.iSheahan
Convert Money Columns To Update?

I need your help again, I am try to update several columns and the data type is 'money'.
Below is the code I have used:
UPDATE CAT_Products SET
UnitCost ='10.00',UnitCost2 = '10.00',UnitCost3 = '10.00',UnitCost4 = '10.00',UnitCost5 = '10.00',UnitCost6 = '10.00'
WHERE ProductCode = '0008'
But it will not update, instead I get this error:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>[Error] Script lines: 1-9 -------------------------- Disallowed implicit conversion from data type varchar to data type money, table 'dbo.CAT_Products', column 'UnitCost'. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.
More exceptions ... Disallowed implicit conversion from data type varchar to data type money, table '.dbo.CAT_Products', column 'UnitCost2'. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The error message indicates that I need to use the convert function. But the columns data type is set at 'money' not 'varcher' . So do I need to convert data type to 'varcher' in order to update and convert back to data type 'money' when update complete? Or do I need to indicate in the update statement that data type is already 'money'? I am not sure how I would either.
Thanks
