Update Records Matching Multiple Criteria
Feb 13, 2008
I have an 'update' query that looks like this:
update wce_contact
set blank = 'missing'
where website in ('www.name1.co.uk','www.name2.co.uk','www.name3.co.uk')
I know this query will set 'blank' to missing when it matches the above websites. However if i wanted to set blank to 'missing' where mail1date is not null and mail2date is not null (keep going to mail18date not null) how exactly would i go about this?
I guess it would be a case of adding another bracket somewhere but im unsure?

I'm fairly new in SQL. Been trying for months to create the right script for this particular case but still cannot give me 100% result as required.
SCENARIO :
I am required to query from 2 tables for those unique record that meets both conditions below:-
1. Status is 1 @ max (trans_id), paychnl = CC
2. Status is 2 @ max (trans_id), paychnl = A or B
FYR, 2 tables and respective columns to query are as below:-
table PTFF --> col ID, TRANS_ID,TRANSDATE,EFFDATE,TRANSCODE
table CHFF --> col STATUS,PAYCHNL
FYI, status refers to the paychnl method status:-
==> 1 means the current paychnl method
==> 2 means the previous paychnl method
paychnl method can be multiple because it will be defined as 2 for all the histories' paychnl chosen earlier, but 1 should only be unique as it is the latest paychnl chosen for each unique ID. however, it may appear more than once when it's taking those in earlier TRANSDATE, so here we would need the max trans_id as it will show the latest updated TRANSDATE.
Apart from that, I need only those most recent paychnl to be A or B and the latest paychnl is CC so, this been indicated by the same max trans_id for the same ID.
Aft trying so many times on this MAX command but failed to get any result, I only managed to come up to this part only. please refer below:-
table PTFF --> col ID, TRANS_ID,TRANSDATE,EFFDATE,TRANSCODE
table CHFF --> col STATUS,PAYCHNL
SELECT DISTINCT PTFF.TRANSCODE,PTFF.ID,PTFF.TRANS_ID,PTFF.TRANSDATE,PTFF.EFFDATE, CHFF.STATUS,CHFF.PAYCHNL
FROM DBO.PTFF PTFF
JOIN DBO.CHFF CHFF
ON CHFF.ID = PTFF.ID
WHERE
PTFF.TRANSDATE BETWEEN 130501 AND 130831
AND PTFF.TRANSCODE='T522'
AND (CHFF.STATUS=1 AND CHFF.PAYCHNL='CC' OR (CHFF.STATUS=2 AND (CHFF.PAYCHNL='A' OR CHFF.PAYCHNL='B')))
However, the script above returns :-
1. All those records with STATUS 1 regardless paychnl is A or B in most recent status 2,
2. Expected results also appear ==> 1 same ID with status 1 while paychnl=CC and status 2 while paychnl=A or B
3. Also duplicates of expected results but for different TRANSDATE and not at MAX TRANS_ID
Samples of the result:-
IDSTATUSTRANS_IDPAYCHNLTRANSDATEEFFDATETRANSCODE

Hi Gurus!!!
I have two tables tabl_a and tbl_b
now tbl_a has some records which are not in tbl_b. I want to update tbl_b with records in tbl_a
eg:
tbl_a tbl_b
a a
b b
c c
d d
x
y
z
Now I want to update tbl_b with records 'x', 'y', 'z'. I want to keep the matching record just untouched.
Something similar.
How can I do that???
Thanks in advance!!!

Im sorry if this has been covered, I tried a search but I couldnt seem to find what I was after.
Anyway, I need an Update procedure which is actually several bunched into one. Ive had a stab at it myself, and perhaps my pseudo SQL might explain what I need..
Code Block
UPDATE [TW].[dbo].[TBLSalesPart]
SET
CASE WHEN [Part] = 'MONTV-' AND [YN] = 'False' THEN [SubCategory] = 20440 END
CASE WHEN [Part] = 'TC-' AND [YN] = 'False' THEN [SubCategory] = 20444 END
Hopefully this makes sense, cheers..

I am trying write a query to update a column of data in my xLegHdr table however the update is based on multiple criteria. I was trying to use "IF..ELSE" statements but that is not working.
I would like to update the "SMiles" column based on the data in the "Dist" column. If the number in the "Dist" column is less than 250 then subtract 25 and multiply it by 1.15 the result should go in the "SMiles" column. If the number is grater than 250 then subtract 40 and multiply by 1.15 and place the result in the "SMiles" column; like so:
UPDATE xLegHdr
SET SMiles =
IF Dist<250 THEN Round(Dist-25)*1.15)
ELSE Round(Dist-40)*1.15)
END IF
Any ideas?

Hi All
I have a strange request that might not be possible based on the laws of relational databases but I thought I'd give it a try.
I have three tables which for simplicity I will call A, B and C. Table A contains my master records, Table B contains user details and the final table contains some extra data
In my initial search when joining A and B, I return 100 records. I then need to search in table C for these 100 records based on a criteria. the expected result should return all 100 rows for the ones that match and also the ones that do not match. The problem is that in Table C, not all the 100 IDs exist, so there will not be a corresponding record. Unfortunately, our users still want to see all 100 records in the output. Is this possible
As always any help or direction would be appreciated.

Got a beginner question here...
Let's say I have a database table that houses server information with four columns: make, model, serial #, ip address. And assume there are ten rows with that information filled out. How could I display all the rows of information on a single webpage (ASP.NET), with all the fields being editable; and a single save button that would send any changes to the database (in reality I guess it would be sending all rows and fields to the database, and just overwrite the previous data).
Could a page such as that be created using FrontPage 2003 or Dreamweaver MX 2004?
This would be strictly for updating information. I would have a separate form for adding a new entry.
Thanks for your help.

I need to update more than one record at once. I have ~ 100 records that I have to update and don't want to execute query 100 times.
My query looks like this:
Update Table1
Set Table1.field1 = ( select Table2.field1 from Table2 where Table2.field2 IN ('a', 'b', 'c')
where Table1.field2 IN ( 'a', 'b', 'c')
It obviously failed because subquery returned more than one value and error message stated that I can't use '=' operator in this case.
My question: how could I update the same column from many records in one execution?

I am renovating an existing application and am converting the existing passwords into hashed values using SHA1. I know how to compute the hashed values as a byte array for each record. What I don't know how to do easily is update all of the records i a single call to the database. Normally, I would just do the following:UPDATE HashedPassword = someValue WHERE UserID = 101;
UPDATE HashedPassword = someOtherValue WHERE UserID = 102;
...
What I don't know is what someValue and someOtherValue should be. How do I convert my byte array into string representation that SQL will accept? I usually execute multiple statements using Dim oCmd as New SqlCommand(sSQL, MyConn) and then call oCmd.ExecuteNonQuery().
Alternatively, I found the following code that uses the byte array directly but only shows a single statement. How could I use it to execute multiple statements as shown above?'FROM http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/103002-1.2.aspx
'2. Create a command object for the query
Dim strSQL as String = _
"INSERT INTO UserAccount(Username,Password) " & _
"VALUES(@Username, @Password)"
Dim objCmd as New SqlCommand(strSQL, objConn)
'3. Create parameters
Dim paramUsername as SqlParameter
paramUsername = New SqlParameter("@Username", SqlDbType.VarChar, 25)
paramUsername.Value = txtUsername.Text
objCmd.Parameters.Add(paramUsername)
Dim paramPwd as SqlParameter

paramPwd.Value = hashedBytes
objCmd.Parameters.Add(paramPwd)

I have two tables that can be created with sample data using the DDL at the bottom of this post. What I'm looking to do is update the QtyReceived column in tblPurchaseOrderLineDetail from the Qty column in tblReceivedItems. However, the tricky part that I can't figure out is splitting these quantities out over multiple lines. I should only be allowed to receive up to the QtyOrdered column in tblPurchaseOrderLineDetail.
For a specific example from the sample data we'll look at PurchaseOrderDetailID 28526. From the tblReceivedItems, there are three records with quantities of 48, 48, and 20. From the tblPurchaseOrderLineDetail there are three records of QtyOrdered of 55, 45, and 20. What I would like to happen is fulfill the records in the tblPurchaseOrderLineDetail sequentially (essentially in order of ExpectedDate). So, the QtyReceived would be 55, 45, and 16 for the corresponding records. If there is already a quantity in the QtyReceived column, but it's less than the QtyOrdered column, the quantity needs to be added to the column (not overwritten).
DDL To CREATE Sample Tables and Data:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblReceivedItems](
[ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[PurchaseOrderDetailID] [int] NULL,
[Qty] [int] NULL)
SET IDENTITY_INSERT [dbo].[tblReceivedItems] ON
INSERT [dbo].[tblReceivedItems] ([ID], [PurchaseOrderDetailID], [Qty]) VALUES (1, 28191, 48)
[code]....

Hi,
I have multiple columns in a Single Table and i want to search values in different columns. My table structure is
col1 (identity PK)
col2 (varchar(max))
col3 (varchar(max))
I have created a single FULLTEXT on col2 & col3.
suppose i want to search col2='engine' and col3='toyota' i write query as
SELECT
TBL.col2,TBL.col3
FROM
TBL
INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col2,'engine') TBL1
ON
TBL.col1=TBL1.[key]
INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col3,'toyota') TBL2
ON
TBL.col1=TBL2.[key]
Every thing works well if database is small. But now i have 20 million records in my database. Taking an exmaple there are 5million record with col2='engine' and only 1 record with col3='toyota', it take substantial time to find 1 record.
I was thinking this i can address this issue if i merge both columns in a Single column, but i cannot figure out what format i save it in single column that i can use query to extract correct information.
for e.g.;
i was thinking to concatinate both fields like
col4= ABengineBA + ABBToyotaBBA
and in search i use
SELECT
TBL.col4
FROM
TBL
INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col4,' "ABengineBA" AND "ABBToyotaBBA"') TBL1
ON
TBL.col1=TBL1.[key]
Result = 1 row
But it don't work in following scenario
col4= ABengineBA + ABBCorola ToyotaBBA
SELECT
TBL.col4
FROM
TBL
INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col4,' "ABengineBA" AND "ABB*ToyotaBBA"') TBL1
ON
TBL.col1=TBL1.[key]
Result=0 Row
Any idea how i can write second query to get result?

Hi,
This is a where clause I am using in a search.
WHERE (ADDRESS_STREET LIKE '%' + @Search + '%' )
I am trying to do a search which returns the most matching record. For example if I have a record with Denver as text . If I search for Denvr the spell error is intended , I will not get the result. How can I create a stored procedure to counter probable spelling errors and return matching results in a ranked order.
Thanks

Hi,
Slightly knotty and hard-to-articulate problem here, so please bear with me.
As part of a series of transactions, I have a table which contains data which looks like this:
AdBookingID adWeeks AdID clientId valueid
----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- -----------
97336 3 95127 248 1007
98220 1 94304 458 1007
98220 1 94304 458 7610
98386 1 88123 319 7604
98388 1 91484 319 7610
98390 1 91963 319 7610
98392 1 92468 319 7601
98392 1 92468 319 7608
The key to this problem is the "valueID". The first digit of the value is significant - the "1" and the "7" in the above mean the values are parts of different groups of search criteria.
What I need to do is to select from this list into a temp table all those bookings (identified by AdBookingID) which have valueIds of both types - i.e. an row in the table where the valueId starts with a 1 and a row in the table where the valueId starts with a 7 - in the above data sample the only AdBooking which qualifies is 98220.
I worked out a method of doing this going by the number of entries each item had in the table:
select count(distinct valueId)
as valueId, adWeeks, clientId, adID, AdBookingID
into #worktable
from #tmp
group by adWeeks, clientId, adID, AdBookingID
having count(distinct valueid) > 1
Which is largely accurate. But - and here's the killer - although each adBooking can only have one valueId starting with 1, it can have multiple entries starting with 7. These bookings are rare, but they do exist and are causing anomalies in the data returned which - if you recall - must only contain booking records for which there are valueId entries with both a 1 and a 7.
Can anyone suggest a way I can get just the data I need?
Cheers,
Matt

There is something I don't understand. When I use join
SELECT r.CHECK_NUMBER, i.orig_file
from (AP_INVOICEDOCS i join AP_DETAIL_REG r on r.PAYABLE_ID= i.PAYABLE_ID)
I am getting 76 orig_file records
But when I do
SELECT r.CHECK_NUMBER, i.orig_file
from (AP_INVOICEDOCS i right outer join AP_DETAIL_REG r on r.PAYABLE_ID= i.PAYABLE_ID)
I am showing only 8 records under i.orig_file column and I am not sure why. What I need is to get all the AP_INVOICEDOCS in the matching orig_file records.

Here is a very basic question that I have.
I have two tables, A and B. Both have a customernumber and a batchid. This combination is unique in both tables.
How can I pull back the records from table A that do not have a corresponding combination in B?
I know I could find the ones that do match and then exclude them using an inner join and subquery, but is there a simpler way?
THANKS!

I have regular work that requires me to extract a bunch of customer records from our database, and then remove duplicate address destinations (so we dont mail the same address more than once).
I can currently achieve this using a combination of my poor SQL skills and Excel, but it's really not working out for me, so looking for SQL wizardry necessary to do it just in SQL.
Relevant fields:
Member.AddressBarcode (This is a unique barcode (Text representation of a base-3 number) based on the customer address. So if there's more than one record in the pulled records with the same barcode, we then look at Member.MemberTypeID to determine whether to include this record in the results or discard it as a duplicate. Note that AddressBarcode may be blank if the mailing address couldn't be validated, if it is blank we don't discard it since there is no easy way to detect duplicate addresses without the barcode)
Member.MemberTypeID (This is the type of member account. We have 3 types - Single, Joint Primary, Joint Secondary, represented in this field by the numbers 1/2/3. This is also the order of preference of who to mail. So if there is a Joint Primary and Joint Secondary with the same mailing barcode, we want to discard the Joint Secondary from the results, so that the Joint Primary is the record we include in the results of who to mail.)
Member.ID (Unique numeric ID for each customer. Kind of irrelevant here, but it's a key)
So some pseudo code for what I'm trying to achieve is:
(Member.MemberTypeID = 1)
OR (Member.MemberTypeID = 2 AND Member.AddressBarcode not in results of Member.MemberTypeID = 1)
OR (Member.MemberTypeID = 3 AND Member.AddressBarcode not in results of Member.MemberTypeID = 2 AND Member.AddressBarcode not in results of Member.MemberTypeID = 1)
I suspect it requires some sort of join...

Hello,
I have a database with thousands of records that contain personal details of customers. Some of these records pertain to the same customer - however, they have been submitted by different people, so they differ slightly in detail.
I've been looking to see if any of the data mining tools provided by Business Intelligence Studio in SQL Server 2005 will enable me to achieve a high degree of accuracy in matching records that pertain to the same customer. From what I can see, these tools seem more suited to making general predictions based on large groupings rather than the kind of precise prediction I am looking for.
So I'd appreciate it if anyone could tell me if there is any way I could use Business Intelligence Studio to match these 'duplicate' records together, or whether I will have to create a more SQL-based solution which attempts to match the customer records using SELECT statements and making assumptions about the data.
TIA,
Kweri

Problem:
I am working on a price comparison system which matches the best prices for a purchase (or an order) from exisiting purchase data.
The order is stored in multiple tables including order details (stores major items purchased: e.g., PC) and order sub-details (optional items purchased with the major items: e.g., speakers, backup device, webcam etc.).
There could be a number of major items in an order and each major item could have multiple related sub items. The other variables that affect the price include trade-ins if any, sales going on at the time of order, number of units etc.
Now, for any new configuration (major items/related sub items), the system should be able to return a list of previous purchases made with similar configurations, and similar variables (quatities, trade-ins etc). Even if the same model is not present, similar pcs by the same vendor should be considered. etc etc.
Questions:
Is this possible using Data mining?
If yes, which algorithm is recommended?
Also, can I assign/modify any kind of weights to certain variables (if same model: .6 ; if same model not available but pcs made by same manufacturer available: .3 ; by other manufacturers: .1)?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jojy

I'm trying to figure out why I am not getting any result set back from a search that includes non-alphanumeric
or non-printable characters. For instance, if I have a table with a 20 character name column with names with
beginning ranges from A-Z, why doesn't the following return any rows:
select * from table where name < CHAR(126).
In the ASCII character set, 126 is a tilde (~) which is numerically above the alphanumeric ranges 1-9,a-z, and
A-Z. Shouldn't all records that sort lower in the character range be included in the result set ?
I'm assuming this has something to do with the default collation sequence being used which somehow does
not include characters outside the alphanumeric range. Any ideas ?

use of Row_Number() over ( partition... but I dont understand how.
Imagine I have a table like
CustomerID, PartNum, QtyinOrder, shipped
1 6 3 0
1 6 2 0
2 6 1 0
2 5 1 0
2 5 2 0
2 5 3 0
2 5 4 1
1 6 4 1
2 6 2 1
But I wanted to return
CustomerID, PartNum, MaxQtyOrderedNotShipped
That would be just the rows
1 6 3 0
2 6 1 0
2 5 3 0
If I use this:
Select CustomerId,PartNum, shipped, QtyInOrder AS MaxOrderedNotShipped
from
(SELECT [CustomerID]
,[PartNum]
,[QtyInOrder]
,shipped
, row_number() over (partition by [CustomerID], PartNum order by QtyInOrder desc) as recid from [SILK].[dbo].[MaxofGroup]) as f where recid =1
there is no restriction, so I get the shipped...If I alter the where clause to work only on not shipped, I get no records...as below
Select CustomerId,PartNum, shipped, QtyInOrder AS MaxOrderedNotShipped
from
(SELECT [CustomerID]
,[PartNum]
,[QtyInOrder]
,shipped
, row_number() over (partition by [CustomerID], PartNum order by QtyInOrder desc) as recid from [SILK].[dbo].[MaxofGroup]) as f where recid =1 and shipped=0

Hi All,Sorry if the subject line is too obscure -- I couldn't think of a wayof describing this request.I have a table that contains approximately 1 million records.I want to be able to be able to select the top x records out of thistable matching variable criteria.Pseudo table records:custid, category, segment1,1,12,1,13,1,14,1,15,1,26,1,27,1,28,1,29,2,110,2,111,2,112,2,113,2,214,2,215,2,216,2,217,2,318,2,319,2,320,2,3So, what I'm trying to do is return a recordset, for example, thatcontains the top 2 of each variation of category and segment.ie:1,1,12,1,15,1,26,1,29,2,110,2,113,2,214,2,217,2,318,2,3The only way I can think to achieve this is in a while statement,performing individual selects against each combination, feeding thewhere criteria by variables that I automatically increment.I can't help thinking there's a much more graceful way of achievingthis?If anyone can give me any insight into this I'd be incrediblyappreciative!Many thanks in advance!Much warmth,Murray
