Updating Data - A Query
Jul 20, 2005
First of all I don't normally use SQL, so please excuse my ignorance.
1st Query
We have a table with a column with data that looks like this:
AMTL03256636
What I need to do is change the AMTL portion of the column to another set of
charachters i.e TEST
Currently i'm extracting the data, loading it into excel changing the data
and then bulk inserting it back
into the SQL7 table. Is there away to change the AMTL without the other
steps?

I am very new to SQL Server 2005. I have created a package to load data from a flat delimited file to a database table. The initial load has worked. However, in the future, I will have flat files used to update the table. Some of the records will need to be inserted and some will need to update existing rows. I am trying to do this from SSIS. However, I am very lost as to how to do this.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
I am trying to setup Trans Replication with updating subscriber on sql2000. One column on few tables got data with single quote (').
How do I handle in this case? Did any one come across such case?
Can I Change default QUOTED IDENTIFIER from ' (single quote) to something else (@@@) on SQL2000?
If yes, how to do?
Thanks

Can I update a select query using sql server 2000? What I mean is, I want to use a query instead of table or a view.
eg update (select * from tablename) set field='value'
something of this sort. I tried doing some r&d but it didn't work. I want it as single query. If some one knows it please let me know. It is very urgent.
Regards,
Samir.

I am running a query that returns transactions that were done at a given point.I am using the"connections" part of Excel.I have created a workbook connection
Connection type : OLE DB Quert
Command Type: SQL
Command Text:
Select
t.SP_ID AS Salesperson
,sum(CASE t.Transaction_Date WHEN '01/05/2012' THEN (abs(t.Transaction_Units) * t.Transaction_Price
etc
It runs finds and returns my data into a table in Excel.However, I need to manually update the relevant date in the Command Text.Is there a way that the connection automatically updates the date. as indicated in a cell in Excel, or maybe t-1 given that the file updates automatically every time I open?

I'm using SQL Server 2005.
Is it possible to update two tables in a single update query by comparing rows in two tables?
Something like this:
UPDATE h
SET
CheckAmount =c.[amount1],
c.Updated = 'YES'
FROM tblCheckNumber as c
INNER JOIN tblHistory as h
ON c.Autonumber = h.AutoNumber
WHERE (h.CheckAmount Is Null Or h.CheckAmount=0)
AND h.CheckNumber Is Null
AND h.CheckDate Is Null
AND h.AccountNumber Is Null;

Hi All,
I'm trying to create a script that updates a field in a table, based on data in another table. It should be simple, but I'm doing something wrong. Here's the code:
USE DBMyDatabase
UPDATE TblToBeUpdated
SET IDField=TblOther.IDNew
WHERE IDField=TblOther.IDOld
SELECT Pk, IDField
FROM TblToBeUpdated
What am I doing wrong? The error code I get is:
Server: Msg 107, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
The column prefix 'TblOther' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query.
Server: Msg 107, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The column prefix 'TblOther' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query.
Thanks.

building some kind of ecommerce site.
I want to allow the user to modify the image that he has stored for a product.
The image is stored in a directory, in the table GAMME I only have the image name.
When the user selects a new Image, I first delete the old image in the directory, then save the new image, but what I can't do is to update the table with the new image name, when I write sqldatasource1.update() I have an error "the dictionnary passed with old values is empty"(translated from frengh).
the update statement in sqldatasource1 is: " UPDATE Gamme SET imagename = @imagename, imagesize = @imagesize WHERE (product_ID = @original_product_ID)"
on events sqldatasource1.updating I have written:
e.Command.Parameters("@imagename").Value = (FileUpload1.FileName).ToString()
e.Command.Parameters("@taillevignette").Value = FileUpload1.PostedFile.ContentLength
e.Command.Parameters("@original_product_ID").Value = Session("Product_ID").ToString
this is not written but the session("product_ID") is the good value
the problem must come from the last lign, but I don't Understand the problem and how to solve it.

Hi,
What is the best to update line_no in following code.
As you can see 1 invoice can have multiple lines.
I would like to assign sequential number to all lines in invoice.
CREATE TABLE #xx (invoicenumber INT, line_no int )
INSERT INTO #xx VALUES(1000,0)
INSERT INTO #xx VALUES(1000,0)
INSERT INTO #xx VALUES(1000,0)
INSERT INTO #xx VALUES(1000,0)
INSERT INTO #xx VALUES(2000,0)
INSERT INTO #xx VALUES(2000,0)
INSERT INTO #xx VALUES(2000,0)
INSERT INTO #xx VALUES(2000,0)
SELECT * FROM #xx
result of select * from #xx should be:
10001
10002
10003
10004
20001
20002
20003

I have posted on this problem before, and got some wonderful help, but the problems keep growing!
In my table, I have projects,activities, credit amount, debit amount, starting balance.
Each project can have several activities associated with it. Each project has a starting balance. Each activity posts an expense to the starting balance of the project.
If the project has enough money to handle the charges made by the activities, all the activity expenses can be "posted". Then I want to re-adjust the balance and
check the second activity. If there is still enough money to handle the charge from the second activity, then the expenses can be posted and the balance
adjusted again. In this checking, I am creating a field called status, and flagging if the activity can clear or not, and a new balance field. The data I have can fall into
different examples, listed below.
First example:Only one activity for a project
project: 122400
activity: 0000
Cr_Amt: 2145.00
Dr_Amt: 0
Balance: 1190.00
In the above case, as the balance is less than the Cr_Amt, I want to set the Cr_Amt = Balance, and the new balance = 0 and have done that as follows:
Update r
set r.Post_Cr = r.Bal_2300,
r.new_Status = 'Can Clear',
r.new_Balance = 0
From Rev_Rec_Check r
WHERE r.project IN (Select project
from Rev_Rec_Check d
group by d.Project
having count(d.project) = 1)
That seems to work for me.
Second Example: More than one activity, with credits and debits
project: 145587
activity: 0000
Cr_Amt: 0
Dr_Amt: 2500
Balance: 1452
project: 145587
activity: 0110
Cr_Amt: 3953
Dr_Amt: 0
Balance: 1452
So, in this case, I need to add the Dr_Amt to the Balance and create a new balance (3952), and then check that the Balance can cover the Cr_Amt
UPDATE t
SET t.New_Balance=(t.Bal_2300 + b.postDrSum) - b.PostCRSum,
t.New_Status=(CASE WHEN (t.Bal_2300 -b.PostCRSum) >0 THEN 'Can Clear'
ELSE 'Still Check'
END)
FROM Rev_Rec_Check t CROSS APPLY
(SELECT SUM(post_Cr) as postCrSum, SUM(post_Dr) as postDrSum
FROM Rev_Rec_Check a
WHERE (a.project =t.project)
AND (a.activity<=t.activity)) b
This does seems to work, and gives me the correct status, and adjusts the new balance correctly, but I realize that doing that doesn't achieve what I want.
Ideally, in this example - where there is more than one project/activity, this is what I would like to see:
project: 145587
activity: 0000
Cr_Amt: 0
Dr_Amt: 2500
Balance: 1452
newBalance: 3952
project: 145587
activity: 0110
Cr_Amt: 3952
Dr_Amt: 0
Balance: 1452
newBalance: 0
I want the amount that gets posted (the Cr_Amt) to reflect what is left in the balance.
There could be cases where there are several activities for one project, so I want to be able to scroll through each activity and post what I can from what
they have left in their balance.
I don't know how to approach this. Am I making it more complicated than it actually is? Have I made any sense in trying to explain it?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I have the following below. I have a page that has a text box. I want it to look in the database (SQL Server 2005) and display the number (Assessor_Score) in the box if it exist. If it does not exist I want the user to put a number in and have it insert a new record to the database. I also want the user to be able to change the number that does show up. The code below just inserts two identical records into the database. Also, how do I assign Assessor_Score a value from the textbox to use in the insert statement? Thanks
Dim pageTitle, sRedirect, str
pageTitle = "QRS Assessors's Score"
dim iAsmtID, sSubScale_Short, Assessor_Score, sScale, sSubScale

sSubScale = request.QueryString("sSubScale")

'Open Connection
set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.open NCRLAP_Conn

If rs.EOF = True then

'Insert now
str = "INSERT INTO AssessorScore (iAsmtID,sSubScale_Short,Assessor_Score) " & _
"VALUES ('" & iAsmtID & "','" & sSubScale_Short & "','" & Assessor_Score & "')"
response.Write(str)
conn.execute(str)
Else
This score is currently in Assessor_Score
Assessor_Score = rs("Assessor_Score")
UPDATE now

Hello.
Is it possible to somehow update data as it is copied from source to destination using SSIS.
Currently I extract data from Database A, load it into database B, then clean/update the data in database B and then load it into database C using DTS on 2000.
What I would like to do is extract data from database A, clean/update it, then load it straight into database C without having to load it into database B first.
I am unable to clean/update the source data in database A, as this would be the obvious thing to do.
Thanks.

I have a rather complex query (to me at least) that I need to create but I am unsure of where to start. The query requires me to copy existing data into a new row (which will then create a new ID) as well as update all existing records with the newly created id. More specifically, I need to separate the data associated with LocationID 219 from it's parent, CompanyID 992.
Ideally I want to copy the data associated with LocationId 219 and then make a new CompanyId with the copied data (which will also create a new LocationID). Since this new record is no longer going to be associated with CompanyID 992 I will want to remove/delete/drop it from that record.
Finally, and perhaps most difficult of all, I need to update all tables that reference the old ID's together (992 / 219) to reflect the newly created Company ID and Location ID.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I am just learning ASP.NET. My database is on a server running SQL Server 2000 and I have used Dreamweaver to build sites. I am trying to convert to ASP.NET.
The problem I am having is that data is not updating when I change it in a GridView, DataList, etc. I have tried including the user name an password in the connection string without success. What did I miss?
connectionString="Data Source=<ServerName>;Initial Catalog=<DatabaseName>;Integrated Security=True;Uid=sa;Pwd=<Password>;"
This is the string I use in Dreamweaver which works;Driver={SQL Server};Server=<ServerName>;Database=<DatabaseName>;Uid=sa;Pwd=<Password>;

Hi,
Could someone please tell me how to update data in a column that contains unicode data in SQL 2000?
I know how to write update scripts on my own, but when it comes to Unicode character updates I canÂ?ft manage. In the script that I have pasted below I can update the customerÂ?fs details, but this only works if I update with Romaji characters (non-unicode).
The data that I need to update is in Japanese Kanji, but when I use the 'Update' script below, the data is updated as all question marks (???????????).
Is it very much harder to get the script to where it will handle Unicode characters and insert the correct data?

I'm an sql/SSMSE novice, but have successfully connected to my sql database on a webserver.
My question is: Can I update the table data "directly" using SSMSE's interface, or do i have to run an sql update statement? (By updating table data directly, i mean: can i view the contents of a table, and simply edit the data in a field, like with in an MS Access table?) If I can update the data "directly," how does one do that?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I'm very new to SSIS so excuse any ignorance...
Im trying to update a set of records in an oracle table based on the results of a query against a SQL Server 2005 table. I would prefer not to run the update query for each result in the source query (but will do it if only way possible), so I have built a script task which builds a comma separated string of Ids that I can use in an in clause... Hence the query I want to execute is of the form:
update MyTable
set STATUSID = 2
where ID in ( 3,4,5,6 )
When I try and execute this query using an 'Execute SQL Task' in debug mode the package gets 'Stuck' on this task. The task turn yellow as though it is executing but never continues - no errors either.
Is it possible to execute an Update statement against Oracle using the Execute SQL Task? Any suggestions for alternatives?
Thanks for any help...
Scott..

I made List_Tables for common values example below: I am trying to use these List_Tables to Input Data Consistently via Dropdown lists. I am able to input data into the Old Table from the Data Access Page /w the List_Table Dropdown, but I am unable to read any data from the Old Table on the front-end even is the data is the same. Once I enter a value from the New Table it will display. Is there a way for me to update the data value from the old table to that of te new table? A case statement or something so my New Table Dropdown will display everything? Very Confusing it's not to fun if there is a perferred method links ect. would be highly appreicated.
