Does anyone know of the SQL statement to add additional comuns to an existing table. I know i can do it through enterprise managaer, but I want to see if I can do it from query analyzer or some script to add columns without having to recreate the table. Or a way to save off the data and recreate the table then placing data back in? I hope that makes sense. I am thinking of this from the sens of doing all updates through source safe
Thanks!
We have two tables with names X and Y.
X has a,b columns. And Y has c,d columns.
I want to update b column in X table with the values from d column in Y table on condition X.a=Y.c.
hi i want to update column with new value in a table is it possible to do so in stored procedure . the name of the column will be an input to stored procedure ie at the time of writing the stored procedure i dont know which column the user will be updating
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy goal is to with one update statement, fill TABLE1.counter (currently empty) with the total count of TABLE2.e# (employee). Also, if TABLE1.e# isn't in TABLE2.e# then it sets it to "0" (TABLE1.e# 8 and 9 should have a counter of 0) This is for sqlplus.
e.g. TABLE2:
e#
--
1
2
3
4
5
5
6
7
7
1

UPDATE TABLE1
SET counter = (
SELECT COUNT(TABLE2.e#)
FROM TABLE2 INNER JOIN TABLE1 ON (TABLE2.e# = TABLE1.e#)
GROUP BY TABLE2.e#);
--^Doesn't work
so my TABLE1 should be:
e# counter
-----------
1 .. 2
2 .. 2
3 .. 2
4 .. 2
5 .. 3
6 .. 1
7 .. 2
8 .. 0
9 .. 0
(The .. is just spacing to show the table here)
Hi, I am kinda new to this so here it goes:
table name: USERS
field names : LName, FName, EmpID
other table name:PERSONNEL
field names : (same as USERS)
The EmpID column in my USERS table is blank (I have 30 records in the table.)
I would like to update the USERS.EmpID table with the PERSONNEL.EmpID data
how would I do this or what would the code be?

I'm looking for some performance assistance on updating a column value in a table that contains approximately 50 million rows. I have a permanent table in another database that has the key column and value to be set. My query is listed below, but I'm afraid it will run quite awhile. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
update mytable
set column2 = b.column2
from mytable as a
join mytable1 as b
on a.column1 = b.column1
There is a one to one relationship between the two tables.
Hello,
One more question about this Custom Calendar table I'm creating. I have a column called "IsWorkdays" which indicates if the day represented by a row is a workday or not. For our purposes, I also need to create a row that accumulates those numbers by month. So, if it is the 3rd workday of the month, this column would have a 3. This is beyond my current T-SQL ability. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks a lot,

Hello, I am pretty new with SQL Server 2005.
I have installed SQL Server Express Edition. I have migrated a set of tables from Oracl10g (by using Microsoft's Migration Tool Kit).While I am trying the following simple update command, the session hangs and it never finishes !!!!!!!!!!!!
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
select pos_key from pos_station where staff_key = 1105
POS_KEY
=======
NULL
update pos_station set pos_key = 1 where staff_key = 1105
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The table has a few constraints and a couple of indices in place.
Then I create another table (but no contraints or indices), just copy the data from the problematic one and the update WORKS (in msecs) :
update pos_station_new set pos_key = 1 where staff_key = 1105
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Is there any way to tell if the table (any table in SQL Server) is corrupted or not ?
How can I tell if a session is waiting for something and what is that something ?
Thank you very much for your help.

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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow can I create an update statement that will allow me to fill in a column if the previous column already has data in it? I am trying to do and UPDATE/SET command that allows me to extract information and populate columns within a table. However, the UPDATE/SET has to make sure that it is not overwriting information that is already in the column and if there is, to populate the column next to it, and so on until all the columns are populated.
Here is my table:
Code:
create table #add_diags(
add_diag_1 varchar(10) null,
add_diag_2 varchar(10) null,
add_diag_3 varchar(10) null,
add_diag_4 varchar(10) null,
add_diag_5 varchar(10) null,
add_diag_6 varchar(10) null,
add_diag_7 varchar(10) null,
add_diag_8 varchar(10) null
)
In my UPDATE/SET I am pulling data from another table to populate into the 'add_diag' columns however, I'm not sure how to write in SQL the ability to monitor all the columns, and if for example the first three are full to then populate into the fourth and so on.
Here is my UPDATE/SET statement (while involved, I think I need something in my WHERE clause in order for this to be resolved):
Code:
update ad
set add_diag_1=dsm_code
from #add_diags ad
join Doc_Entity de
on ad.patient_id=de.patient_id
and ad.episode_id=de.episode_id
and doc_code = 'DCDIAG'
join Patient_Assignment pa
on de.patient_assignment_id = pa.patient_assignment_id
and convert(char(8),de.effective_date,112) = convert(char(8),pa.date_discharged,112)
left outer join Doc_Diag_Axis_I_III dx1
on de.doc_session_no=dx1.doc_session_no
and de.current_version_no=dx1.version_no
where dx1.sequence_no=2
and de.is_locked = 'Y'
and dx1.rule_out = 'N'
and is_billable = 'Y'
and dx1.axis_type IN ('1','2')
and de.status in ('CO' , 'SA')
Any ideas? Thanks!
Please excuse my ignorance. I've researched this and it appears I am asking to do something that is ridiculous, so please let me know what is wrong with my design (or my brain). I'd like to update an ID number in a table. It is an identity column. In my solution I'm adding a lot of new entries into my table and deleting old ones. Call me anal, but It's driving me nuts that my ID numbers are growing so large so quickly and that I have so many unused ID's. If you were to look over my data ID's they would be something like 1,3,45,78,88,89,103,140,219. What I'm trying to do is renumber my data so that my data currently at say ID# 1067 can be moved to the unused ID#2, etc. So I either need a way to update an Identity column...or I need a way find the lowest unused number among a list of ID's. So is there anyway to achieve what I am trying to do? I see this guy had my same OCD issue (without a solution) :-(

If amc.amc2>0 then
“UPDATE amc set AMC2= AMC2 + “ & val(txtamt.text) & “where am1=1”
else if amc.amc2<0 then
“UPDATE amc set AMC2= “ & val(txtamt.text) & “where am1=1”
end if
Here I check the value of column with if condition statement. I need to check the column with out if condition statement.
What is my doubt is that how I can check value of amc2 column while updating.
eg: update amc set case when amc2>0 then AMC2= AMC2 + “ & val(txtamt.text)
like this
Is it possible with “case-when -end”?
If it is possible I can solve a big problem in my project.
Can you give me an example with this query?

Hi all,
I'm trying to update various rows in my DB with a new value once an action occurs. I am using the following code which does not throw any exceptions, but also does not change the values. Can someone steer me in the right direction?
public static void ChangeRefCode()

SqlDataAdapter dataAdapt = new SqlDataAdapter("Select * from Posting",dbConn);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
SqlCommandBuilder sqBuilder = new SqlCommandBuilder(dataAdapt);
dataAdapt.Fill(ds, "Posting");
foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables["Posting"].Rows)
{
dr["ref_code"] = DateTime.Today.Ticks + "-" + dr["poster"].ToString();

try
{
dataAdapt.Update(ds, "Posting");
}
catch (Exception ex)

ex.ToString();

Hello friends,
I am new to the SQL Server 2005 development.
From last 1 week or so, i have been facing very strange problem with my sql server 2005s database
which is configured and set on the hosting web server. Right now for managing my sql server 2005 database,
i am using an web based Control Panel developed by my hosting company.
Problem i am facing is that, whenever i try to modify (i.e. add new columns) tables in the database,
it gives me error saying that,
"There is already an object named 'PK_xxx_Temp' in the database. Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider".
where xxx is the table name.
I have done quite a bit research on the problem and have also searched on the net for solution but still
the problem persist.
Thanks in advance. Any help will be appreciated.

Now i need to create a stored procedure which will convert the flag values to vice versa since it is a bit datatype. That is if execute the stored procedure it should convert all the flag values to 1 if it zero and zero's to 1. How? Pls provide me the full coding for the stored procedure.
Thanx.

This problem is strictly an SQL problem, and I am about to lose my mind over it. I have a table named Inventory that has a column named PartialQty which is of type DECIMAL(11,4). I have shortened my query for simplicity, but here it is.
DECLARE @pqty1 DECIMAL(11,4)
SELECT @pqty1 = PartialQty FROM Inventory WHERE InventoryID = @invIDPRINT @pqty1 UPDATE Inventory SET PartialQty = 6.5513 WHERE InventoryID = @invID
SELECT @pqty1 = PartialQty FROM Inventory WHERE InventoryID = @invIDPRINT @pqty1
Before this query is ran, the value in PartialQty is 1.2345. If I run this 2 times in a row, this is the output I get:
RUN 1:
1.2345
(1 row(s) affected)
(1 row(s) affected)
(1 row(s) affected)
(1 row(s) affected)
6.0000
RUN 2:
6.0000
(1 row(s) affected)
6.5513
I don't understand 2 things. One is why the first run displays (1 row(s) affected) 4 times even though there is only one record with that InventoryID.
And the other thing I don't understand is why the first time I run it, it loses all of the values after the decimal point.
Please help,
Scott
I am looking for suggestions on how to accomplish the following task with the least amount of hand keying that I can get away with.
I have a main table named Office and 4 other tables that have the Office table ID field value in them.
I have been given a new set of ID values that need to replace the values that are currently in the Office table and then update the ID field in the other 4 tables.
I have only thought of 2 solution and I don’t like either one.
1 Add a new column to the Office table and key in the new ID’s then go through the pages that reference the old ID field and change the SQL queries to use the new field.
2 Change the value of the current Office ID field to the new value. Search the other 4 tables for the old value and then update them to the new value.
Anyone got a better Idea?
If your tables contain created and modified/updated dates what is the best practice for these?
1. Should you use UTC dates?
2. Do you use a default for the creation date (I assume yes)?
3. Should you create a trigger to handle the last update date? Or do you update the column directly in your stored procedures that modify data?
Also, as an aside if you store the user who created/updated the record do you store a foreign key reference to the user table or do you store the username as a varchar? Of course I know you'd normally store the fk, but I wasn't sure if the "logging" nature of the column suggests storing a string value.
