I have a field where all of the data is 5 characters in length. The last character denotes a status and will always be an F, H, or T. I want to add a new field (which I will do manually) and populate the new field with the last character from the "old" field. Once that is complete, I want to eliminate that 5th character from the old field.

I 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.
I'm developing a report in RS 2000 that uses two datasets. The first dataset provides data to a drill-down report on the top part of the screen and the second small dataset provides some data for additional summary information on the bottom of the screen. I'm getting a runtime error "An unexpected error occurred in Report Processing. The expression referenced a non-existing field in the fields collection." Of course, I've edited every expression I can think of: text boxes, data grid, parameters, filters, drill-down lists... I think I've gone through every object on the report but I can't isolate the bad expression. Can anyone suggest a better way to debug this type of error? It compiles fine, but fails in runtime. thanks.

Hi,
I have a table with eight (8) fields, including the primary key (rfpid). Three of the fields are foreign keys, which take their values form lookup tables. They are int fields (pmid, sectorid, officeid). One of the fields in this table is based on putting together the descriptive field in the lookup table for sector (tblsector). The two other fields to be part of this string are the rfpname and rfpid. This creates the following string:
rfpsector_nameproposalscurrent_year
fpname_08_rfpid
NOTE:
The words rfp, proposals are words that have to be part of string;
the slashes are to also appear.
current_year would be defaulting to datepart = year (2008)
The part that has the last two digits of the current year then the underscore and then the rfpid should be connected by an underscore to the rfpname.
I am at a loss and would greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks
Hi,I use view to join difference table together for some function. However,when the "real" table fields changed (e.g. add/delete/change field). Theview table still use the "old fields".Therefore everytimes when I change the real table, I also needed open theview table and save it by SQL enterprise manager manually for update theview table field.Can we use a SQL command or other method to update it directly?Regards,Silas
View 4 Replies View RelatedPardon me if this question is too elementary. I am trying to create a trigger that will cause certain datafields to be updated with values from other data fields in the same row when a certain column, created specifically to fire the trigger, is updated. The purpose of this is to reduce data entry by field personnel.I think I have the create trigger statement correct, but I'm a little confused on the update statement.
In a nutshell, how can I write something like:
UPDATE "TABLENAME"
SET DATAFIELD1 = DATAFIELD2
WHERE RECORDNUMBER = (THE SAME RECORD NUMBER)
I do know that I have to ensure that sp_dboption Recursive Triggers value is set to false, thanks.
I have just started to look at SQL and have a theory question that I could apply to a test I want to run. I have some legacy data from a previous project and the database was not designed properly (in my opinion). They have ONE field to capture City and State information. All the data is formatted City, State .
Does SQL have commands that can look at data in a field, strip out info before and info after a comma and then write that to other fields?
So, I would like to normalize this to take the data in a field called CityState and parse it, trim it and then populate two new fields 1) City and 2) State.
Thanks for your help!

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi, Im trying to pull data from 2 fields in the same table into a SqlDataSource that feeds into a GridView, and display them as 1 field in GridView? I have a database table that has entries of users and their friends. so
this tblFriendUser has a column called UserName and another column
called FriendUserName.
I am trying to get a list of friends for that particular user. Note
that if User1 initiated the friend request, he will be listed as
UserName and his friend as FriendUserName, but if his friend initiated
the friend request, it will be vice versa: him being the FriendUserName
and his friend the UserName. So I want the following 2 queries run and merged into
one query in order to return 2 columns only: UserFriendID & UserName, is that
possible? Is my design bad? Any suggestions/advice would help! Thanks a lot!

I need to import data into an existing table. Most import rows were unique, so I had no problem using DTS and appending. However, some import rows match existing rows except for one column/field that contains updated/new data, and I have to either replace the entire row with the imported row, or replace the individual field with the new data. How do I do that when there are many rows to import? It would take forever typing in all the data using UPDATE. Thanks in advance for your help!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to update a field (tmpRequestID) in a SQL Express table (tblTSubRequest) using a value in a SQL 2000 database field (fldtmpRequestID) in the dbo.NewPurchase table.

It appears that the procedure cannot read the field value on the 2000 server and the 2000 server is linked to the 2005 express edition.
I am working on creating a report which is retrieving data from a SQL 2005 database and being displayed in a C#.net web page. Presently, I am binding the dataset to a ASP:Gridview on the web page.
I am currently retrieving most of the needed fields using the following SQL statement:PROCEDURE [dbo].[pr_getReportTickets] @DateCreated nvarchar(15) ASBEGIN

I also have another table called tbl_Notes. This table contains an unlimited quantity of records for every “num_TicketNumber�?. This table contains the following fields: num_TicketNumber, str_TechRep, str_Notes, dat_TimeStamp, int_PercentComplete and int_MinutesWorked
I need to add two more fields to the query, but I do not know how to tell the SQL statement how to retrieve the data for the specfic record and inbed the fields into the Dataset being returned from the database to the web page.1) The first field I need is the most current recorded Date field from the tbl_Notes table for the each of the records returned in the above SQL statement. Similar to: SELECT TOP (1) dat_TimeStamp FROM tbl_Notes WHERE(num_TicketNumber = xxxx) ORDER BY dat_TimeStamp DESC2) The other field I need to return with the Dataset is the sum of the int_MinutesWorked for each of the tickets being retrieved. Similar to: SELECT SUM(int_MinutesWorked) AS TotalMinutesFROM tbl_Notes WHERE (num_TicketNumber = 49)

There are some duplicates in the table(which are not duplicates as per the Business). For those duplicated Unique ID should be same(Marked in Orange Color which are duplicates).

The query below also works fine by itself. You may notice that the Episode_Key field appears in both the query above and below therefore providing a primary key / foreign key relationship.

I have just started using SQL Server reporting services and am stuck with creating subreports.
I have a added a sub report to the main report. When I right click on the sub report, go to properties -> Parameters, and click on the dropdown for Parameter Value, I see all Sum and Count fields but not the data fields.
For example, In the dropdownlist for the Parameter value, I see Sum(Fields!TASK_ID.Value, "AppTest"), Count(Fields!TASK_NAME.Value, "CammpTest") but not Fields!TASK_NAME.Value, Fields!TASK_ID.Value which are the fields retrieved from the dataset assigned to the subreport.
When I manually change the parameter value to Fields!TASK_ID.Value, and try to preview the report, I get Error: Subreport could not be shown. I have no idea what the underlying issue is but am guessing that it's because the field - Fields!TASK_ID.Value is not in the dropdown but am trying to link the main report and sub report with this field.
Am I missing something here? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi, I have the lovely task of overhauling some of our SQL-based systems. I've found many tables that don't have unique identifying numbers that really should have them. I've searched around and people keep mentioning the Identity field as being similar to Autonumber in Access. The only examples I could find involved setting up a new table... but I need to add (and populate) an identity column to an existing database table. Does anyone know the command for this?

I 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?

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.
