Many thanks. I have used this sample extensively since you posted it. Hope
you (or someone) can help me with one more thing: How would it be written
to update several fields in table A with data from table B, where as you
have shown, a column matches the records?
I'm trying to create a database that takes specific information from a number of databases on different servers to make some reporting that we have much easier.
I'm pretty new to SQL so I'm not sure of the best way to proceed. I read an article that suggested I use the OPENROWSET command. The problem is, the version of SQL that came with one of the programmes we use is limited and will not allow you to turn on the allow "Ad Hoc distributed Queries" so the SLQ statement will not execute.
I'm confused why it won't let me to connect through ODBC as I've created a web page that selects data from this database with no problems!
Here is the SQL statement that I've written to make sure it is the correct one (on the msdn library page it said that this was the ODBC connection):
SELECT a.* FROM OPENROWSET('MSDASQL','DRIVER=(SQL Server);SERVER=APPOLOACT7;UID=sa;PWD=***************', 'SELECT * FROM MDCTestAndDev.dbo.TBL_CONTACT') AS a
I've also created the ODBC connection using the tool on Administration Tools>Data Sources ODBC
Any help would be greatly appreciated (also any ways of selecting from one database and inserting it into another will be helpfull)
UPDATE #TempTableESR SET CTRLBudEng = (SELECT SUM(Salaries) from ProjectBudget WHERE Project = @Project)UPDATE #TempTableESR SET CTRLBudTravel = (SELECT SUM(Travels) from ProjectBudget WHERE Project = @Project)UPDATE #TempTableESR SET CTRLBudMaterials = (SELECT SUM(Materials) from ProjectBudget WHERE Project = @Project)UPDATE #TempTableESR SET CTRLBudOther = (SELECT SUM(Others) from ProjectBudget WHERE Project = @Project)UPDATE #TempTableESR SET CTRLBudContingency = (SELECT SUM(Contingency) from ProjectBudget WHERE Project = @Project)above is the UPDATE command i am using in one of my stored procedures. I have to SELECT from my ProjectBudget table 5 times to update my #TempTableESR table. is there an UPDATE command i can use which would let me update multiple fields in a table using one SELECT command?
I have a am doing some date calcs () . The situation is that I have a Move date (date a customer moved to a new home). I want to calculate their sales for the following 0-3 months after the move (month 0 being the move month). I have the month and year of the move (MthStart, YrStart), and I am adding 3 to MthStart to get the MthEnd of that 0-3 month period. I will then find sales BETWEEN YrStart&MthStart AND YrEnd&MthEnd (there is a YrMth field in the sales table)
Of course, for MthStarts 10, 11, and 12, the ends are 13, 14, and 15. So for these, I need to subtract 12, and increment the YrEnd by 1.
I am wondering if there is a way to update both the MthEnd and YrEnd fields at one time instead of separate SETs (or maybe I am just thinking about this the hard way to begin with). Is there a way to update both in a single CASE statement like WHEN MthEnd> 12 THEN MthEnd-12 AND YrEnd+1?
I have to DBs. One is the original and the other is for testing. They both have similar data structure. Wanted to know if there is a way to update tables contents in one db with data that is in the other one.
Is there a way to take a snapshot of a table at precisely the same time on multiple servers and write the table snapshot to another 'work' database? I'm asking in this forum hoping that perhaps SSIS has a built in tool to help with this. I'm wanting to audit table(s) accross seven different servers. In order to do this I want to make sure that I have the table at the same moment in time on all the servers. I plan on using the tablediff utility to then compare each table on each server against one another. If somebody knows a better method to do this please let me know.
We have an environment with 7 servers that are running replication with one another and I'm wondering if there are any tools or experiences that any of you might have that may assist in the auditing of these servers. The data should be in synch accross the boards for all tables, but sometimes problems can arise such as replication not being set up properly, stored procedure's being out of synch, or data gliches etc.
In dealing with these issues we have an in-house written program which analises each table on each server and takes a snapshot and does column by column compare. We also have another program that will synch the data up (basically a delete/insert statement on the publisher). This process can take up to 3 weeks for our quarterly update of every table. I'm wondering if anybody has used any tools such as in SSIS or a third party tool and has done or is doing something similar to what we are doing now. If so, are there any tips you wouldn't mind sharing on how our process might be sped up?
I know I can do a JOIN(parameter, "some seperator") and it will build me a list/string of all the values in the multiselect parameter.
However, I want to do the same thing with all the occurances of a field in my result set (each row being an occurance).
For example say I have a form that is being printed which will pull in all the medications a patient is currently listed as having perscriptions for. I want to return all those values (say 8) and display them on a single line (or wrap onto additional lines as needed).
Something like: List of current perscriptions: Allegra, Allegra-D, Clariton, Nasalcort, Sudafed, Zantac
How can I accomplish this?
I was playing with the list box, but that only lets me repeat on a new line, I couldn't find any way to get it to repeate side by side (repeat left to right instead of top to bottom). I played with the orientation options, but that really just lets me adjust how multiple columns are displayed as best I can tell.
Could a custom function of some sort be written to take all the values and spit them out one by one into a comma seperated string?
I am using MS SQL 2012. I have a table that contains all the data that I need, but I need to summarize the data and also add up decimal fields while at it. Then I need a total of those added decimal fields. My data is like this:
I have Providers, a unique ID that Providers will have multiples of, and then decimal fields. Here are my fields:

Pardon 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 am trying to JOIN table on datetime column truncated to full minutes with other table, where I store time intervals (in order to have all minutes in result even when there was no event in main data table).
SELECT dateadd(minute, datediff(minute, 0, StartTime), 0) as StartTimeMinute ,ApplicationName ,COUNT(*) as Requests FROM dbo.Profiler as p INNER JOIN dbo.MinuteIntervals as i ON i.TIMEVALUE = p.StartTimeMinute WHERE EventClass IN (10,12) GROUP BY dateadd(minute, datediff(minute, 0, StartTime), 0), ApplicationName ORDER BY StartTimeMinute
How to join on p.StartTimeMinute? I do understand why this doesn't work, as p.StartTimeMinute is calculated in my query, so JOIN cannot find it in original p table.
This morning we had an issue with a simple join between 2 tables e.g. table1 and table2. Both tables have 1 column called 'fielda' with datatype varchar.
Let's assume the following values: Table1: hello Hello
Table2: hello
This statement joins the tables: select a.fielda from table1 a inner join table2 b on a.fielda = b.fielda
It returns: hello Hello
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? What the $#@#$ Why doesn't it return 1 value: hello
Any ideas? The outcome is exactly what we want but I would expected to have to use the following: select a.fielda
from table1 a inner join table2 b on UPPER(a.fielda) = UPPER(b.fielda)
What if I wanted to return all EXACT matches? Then what? Change collation?
Hello, I am in the progress of designing a new section of my database and was thinking of creating a hole new database instead of just creating tables inside the database. My question is can you JOIN multiple tables in an SQL Statement from multiple databases. Ie, In the Management program I have a database called 'Convention' and another one called 'Services', inside the two databases there are many tables. Can I link say tblRegister from Convention to tblUser in Services? Thanks
the basic pattern is... a user has approvers, and those approvers have approvers as well... i have 4 columns of approvers.. and if my first approver is the manager, then my second approver will be the managers approver and my third approver will be the managers approver's approver and so on..
on my actual page, i have select fields for the app, app2, app3, app4 and i need it so that when i change the very first app, it'll automatically update app2, app3, and app4
any ideas how i would do this? im pretty new to sql but im thinking i would use some type of join?

I need to update multiple columns in a table with multiple condition.
For example, this is my Query
update Table1 set weight= d.weight, stateweight=d.stateweight, overallweight=d.overallweight from (select * from table2)d where table1.state=d.state and table1.month=d.month and table1.year=d.year
If table matches all the three column (State,month,year), it should update only weight column and if it matches(state ,year) it should update only the stateweight column and if it matches(year) it should update only the overallweight column
I can't write an update query for each condition separately because its a huge select
I've done some simple sql's for searching a field using Like,But this one is different. I am adding a param named @searchText I would like to bring back all records in all the fields listedbelow that has that string in the field... WHERE a.manufacturer = b.manufacturerIDAND a.location = c.locationIDAND a.Status = d.statusIDAND a.EquipmentType = e.IDAND a.calLab = f.ID AND a.testTechnology = g.id AND (c.locationID = @location OR @location = 0) So, each line/field above I want to search for the string and includein the dataset. Anyone can point me in the right direction? Thanks, Zath
Please point me in the direction of a tutorial that will do help me do the following:
The database has been previously created and the users first & last names are in the respective columns. There is also a column that should contain the full name of the user but as such it only contains <NULL>. Is there a way to pull the first name and last name from the db then write both names to column3?
I have a table that tracks some dates, and I am looking for an SQL statemet that will check all of the fields to see if a prespecified data range is true. For exampe you enter a start and end date and then then the SQL statement would check about 12 different fields to see if any of the dates are within that range. I am trying to use an or statement, but to no avail. So if you have any help it would be greatly appreciated.
I have two issues I'm trying to deal with in my code.
1. I'm trying to group by first and last name, which are in two different columns 2. I'm trying to take an average of pay per miles.
Neither of these is working well. Actually, neither is working at all.
This is the code!

Hi all,I'm running into a road block, and I know I've done this before. I'mgetting fields from two tables, and I need to do a count of similaritems with it showing some extra info.Here's my fields:Log.LogId - IntLog.LogDispatcherID - IntOfficer.OfficerID - IntOfficer.OfficerFirstName - VarcharOfficer.OfficerLastName - VarcharI can get the info I need without a count with this:select a.LogID,a.LogDispatcherID,b.OfficerFirstname + ' ' + b.OfficerLastname as OfficerNamefrom[Log] a, Officer bwhere a.LogAssigned1 = b.OfficerIDBut when I try to add a count and group-by it errors out:select Count(a.LogID) as LogCount,a.LogDispatcherID,b.OfficerFirstname + ' ' + b.OfficerLastname as OfficerNamefrom[Log] a, Officer bwhere a.LogAssigned1 = b.OfficerIDGroup By a.LogIDI've done this before, but this isn't working. It's giving the error"it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BYclause" for each field other then LogID.How can I do this? I want output similar to this:LogCountLogDispatchIDOfficerName334Tom Jones422John Smith.... EtcThanks for any suggestions or ideas...Sam Alex
How can I update each record in a table, based on a value in another tablewith a single SQL statement?For example, suppose I have the following two tables:Table1Name Something Color-----------------------------------------John GHAS BlueJohn DDSS BlueJohn EESS BluePaul xxxx RedRingo HJKS RedRingo FFFS RedSara hjkd PurpleSara TTHE PurpleJimi sdkjls GreenTable2Name Color------------------------John ?Paul ?Ringo ?Sara ?Jimi ?How can I update the color field in table 2 to correspond with the colorfield in table1 (so I can normalize the db and delete the color field fromtable1)?I know I could open table2 and loop through within my app; just wonderingabout a single SQL statement that would do it. I need a similar technique inother places as part of my app.Thanks,Calan
When you are pulling the data from PPV SELECT [MATERIAL] ,[IR_AMOUNT] FROM [LATCUBDAT].[dbo].[ppv] where [MATERIAL] = 'MR004' AND [IR_AMOUNT] = 53728.85 Result
