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!

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 All,
I have a Problem while updating one table data from another table's data using sql server 2000.
I have 2 tables named TableA(PID,SID,MinForms) , TableB(PID,SID,MinForms)
I need to update TableA with TableB's data using a single query that i have including in a stored procedure.
I am relatively new to SQL and am having trouble with an update. I know I cannot use a join update and have to use subquery. I am not sure of the syntax on how to do this. Below is basically what I want to do, but cannot figure out how to do it with a subquery. Any help would be appreciated.

I am trying to update a table in one database with data from a temporary table which i created in the tempdb.
I want to update field1 in the table with the tempfield1 from the #temp_table
The code looks something like this:
Use master
UPDATE [dbname].dbo.table
SET [dbname].dbo.table.field1 = [tempdb].dbo.#temp_table.tempfield1
WHERE ( [dbname].dbo.table.field2= [tempdb].dbo.#temp_table.tempfield2
AND [dbname].dbo.table.field3= [tempdb].dbo.#temp_table.tempfield3
AND [dbname].dbo.table.field4= [tempdb].dbo.#temp_table.tempfield4)
I get the following error:
Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
The multi-part identifier "tempdb.dbo.#temp_table.tempfield2" could not be bound.
Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
The multi-part identifier "tempdb.dbo.#temp_table.tempfield3" could not be bound.
Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
The multi-part identifier "tempdb.dbo.#temp_table.tempfield4" could not be bound.
What is wrong?
I'm not sure if this could be done, but if anyone has any insight on how to do this please let me know...
Currently, I have a table that has a field of Categories. I recently created a Category table in which each category has it's own ID. I need to replace the Data that was in my original table with the new ID's based on the actual category name... Is there any way of doing this without manaul data entry?

Can you create an UPDATE TRIGGER and use some typeof code to figure out which SP just updated the current table?If not how can i achieve what i want?I tried to run SQL Profiler and i don't understand why i can'tsimply have the Profiler filter events only for the specific database idand the table's object id i chose?What am i doing wrong with SQL Profiler? I was testing thisthrough SQL EM. I had the filters chosen for a specific database idand a specific table's object id, yet when i open another table SQLProfiler captures that information too.Thank you

I could use some help on how to save the result of my data-flow in an existing table.
I have created a data flow. I have no trouble storing the result of the flow in a new table. But I'm trying to store the result of my data flow in an existing table. (The flow involves fuzzy grouping, and i would like to store the result in the original table on which the fuzzy grouping was performed). But I cannot get it to work.
I can select the existing table as OLE DB destination. I can write an SQL to manipulate this table, but how do i address the result of the flow in the SQL?
Help is welcome here!
I have a dataset that was created via a source + lookups + derived columns.
I wish to take this dataset and treat is as a table within a sql statement so that I can update a permanent table with the a specific value within the temp dataset.
In sql this is what I am trying to do:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS Count_of_Employees, DEPT
FROM Employees
GROUP BY DEPT
UPDATE Departments
SET Number_of_Employees = Count_of_Employees
WHERE Dept = dept.
I have a table with a datetime field 'TheDate'. Currently dates are stored as 'mm-dd-yyyy 00:00:00'. Is there a way to get just the month, day and year parts, '01/01/2008' into the field without changing the field data type to varchar? I'm asking because when I do this:
declare @MyDate as datetime
set @MyDate = '04/02/2008 18:00:00'
select substring(convert(varchar,@MyDate,101),1,10)
I get '04/02/2008', but when I do this:
update TheTable
set TheDate = substring(convert(varchar,TheDate,101),1,10)
I'm still getting a date in the format 'mm-dd-yyyy 00:00:00' stored in the table. I'd like to be able to lose the time portion, but I'd like to be able to keep the datetime datatype for date math purposes. Can it be done?
I'm trying to move my current use of an sql 2000 db to sql 2005.
I need to update a table definition (to change a field to an Identity)
I'm getting a dialog box (in SQL server management studio) on save saying :
'xxxx' table
- Saving Definition Changes to tables with large amounts of data could
take a considerable amount of time. While changes are being
saved, table data will not be accessible.
I press 'Yes' to the dialog box.
After 35 seconds, I get another dialog box saying:
'xxxx' table
- Unable to modify table.
Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
Well, the server is responding and I can query that talbe and other, I
can add/delete rows to other columns. I can modify other
(smaller) tables.
Any ideas where I can change this timeout?

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.

CASE
WHEN stat.A = import.field2 THEN import.gone = sec.A
WHEN stat.B = import.field2 THEN import.gone = sec.B

I want to write trigger code to update values in table1 to table2.
ALTER, CREATE, DROP cannot be used in a trigger, I guess.
Tabel1
ID, Name, Asset, Date, Active
---------------------------------
1, A, 10 , 01/08/04 Y
1, B, 16 , 06/08/04 Y
1, C, 12 , 07/08/04 Y
1, D, 13 , 10/08/04 Y
2, E, 10 , 15/08/04 Y
2, F, 11 , 16/08/04 Y
2, Y, 12 , 01/08/04 N
2, G, 15 , 17/08/04 Y
3, H, 13 , 19/08/04 Y
3, I, 15 , 02/08/04 N
Table2 after update
ID, Name1, Asset1, Date1, Name2, Asset2, Date2, Name3, Asset3, Date3, Name4, Asset4, Date4
---------------------------------
1,B,16,06/08/04,D,13,10/08/04,C,12,07/08/04,A,10,01/08/04
2,F,11,16/08/04,E,10,15/08/04,blank,blank, blank..
3,H,13,19/08/04,blank, blank...
As you can see, code must select only active('Y') names in table1 arrange in descending order of asset for each ID and updates(or insert into?)table2.
Please help me with code

Select field1 from table_B
Where Table_B.Client_Id = Table_A.Client_id
Thanks.

I am very new to this.
I need help updating a table. Here is what I am doing.
I have a table("TransferRequest") that has some records and Date_Transferred field.. Every 10 mins I need to check a view("v_UnTransferred") that checks the untransferred requests from the table and transfer them.
After this process, the Date_Transferred field in the table needs to be updated with the time it was transferred.
Here is my code:
Dim rsSched As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim cmd As New ADODB.Command
rsSched.CursorLocation = adUseClient
rsSched.CursorType = adOpenForwardOnly
rsSched.LockType = adLockReadOnly
rsSched.ActiveConnection = Tconn
rsSched.Source = "SELECT * FROM v_UnTransferred"
rsSched.Open
rsSched.ActiveConnection = Nothing
'''''''The transfer code is here.
cmd.CommandText = "UPDATE TransferRequest SET Date_Transferred = CONVERT(datetime, '" & Now & "', 102)WHERE Date_Transferred IS Null"
cmd.Execute
rsSched.Close
Set rsSched = Nothing
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help

My question is if I cancel a update query when it was running will it rollback and what is the best practice to update a big table.

I need to update the data in one table with dat from another.
i have a table called tblclients and a column called intethnicity. I also have a table called tblethnicity. The column in the table intethnicity should be the primary key integer for the corresponding ethnicity. So since most of the clients are caucasian, and the id for caucasian is 4, the intethnicity column should be 4.
Here is the problem:
I have a table of 1300 hundred records and the column intethnicity now has the actual ethnicity in it instead of the corresponding id for the ethnicity. I need a way to update all the records so that the intethnicity column has the id for the corresponding ethnicity, not the actual ethnicity itself.
I know I can go uodate tblcients set intethnicityid =4 where intethnity ='white', but that would take too long.
I need a way to update the column based on the id from the table ethnicity.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi
How do I update my table, that is part of my .sdf database stored on disk?
Can I use databinding with this? Or do i have to use SQL INSERT command?
I€™m in the process of rewriting several AbInitio graphs into SSIS and ran into something that I€™m not sure how to handle in SSIS. In AbInitio when you use their update component you can redirect records that aren€™t used in the update command. How would I do the same thing in SSIS?
Right now I€™m using the OLE DB Command component but don€™t see how I can take the records that didn€™t update anything and capture them in a flow out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Ken..
I’m a complete newbie so forgive this question. If i have 2 tables Table 1 has the columns for NNAME, PHNUM, SSN, DOB, JOB, UPDATED however the Job description is emptyTable2 has the columns for SSN and JOB
The question is, how I write an update statement that looks at the SSN in table2 matches it to SSN in table 1 and fills in the job description for that person in table1 and adds yes to the UPDATED field.
I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 25,000 records to update.any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank YouAdam
If I have a table with three fields (A, B, C) and 'A' is a primary key, 'B' and 'C' do not have any content and another table with the same number of fields contains the same fields(A, B, C) and the fields do contain data.
I want to populate the first table with the data from the second table where the primary key 'A' is equal.
How would the sql work?
