I have a data flow with a sort of transformations, the result are three columns to be inserted in a SQL Server 2005 table but I need to add a fourth column that contains the same values for each row, I mean, to add a column with constant values in the insert process.
how can I do it??
thanks.
Hi All,
I am working on a column chart type (stacked column sub-type) report.
Our customer requires us that the space(padding) between the columns should be a constant(including the space between the Y-axis and the first column). I know how to set the width of the columns, but I really don't know how to set the width of the space between them. The columns just varies the space between them automatically according to the number of the columns (the number of the columns is not certain).
Thanks a lot in advance!

Is there a perf difference between:
create function dbo.zzz
returns uniqueidentifier
return '0000-0000-0000-00000000'
select dbo.zzz
vs.
se;ect '0000-0000-0000-00000000'
Thanks,

Hi,
I want to bcp data file generated by other system into a table maintened by our system. While generating the bcp data file they leave data value for id column empty (because they are not aware of the value in our system).
I want to specify a constant value for id column during bcp. Is there any way i can specify a constant value in bulk insert command? Can i specify it in format file?
Although i can read the bcp file and do transformation in front end (C#) it is time consuming. I can bcp data and then fire a update statement to update id column, this is also found to be time consuming task.
Any help would be appriciated.
Many thanks,
Rishi
When solution is simple, God is answering….
I'm trying to fill a temp table whose columns are the same as another table plus it has one more column. The temp table's contents are those rows in the other table that meet a particular condition plus another column that is the name of the table that is the source for the rows being added.
Example: 'permTable' has col1 and col2. The data in these two rows plus the name of the table from which it came ('permTable' in this example) are to be added to #temp.
Data in permTable
col1 col2
11, 12
21, 22
Data in #temp after permTable's filtered contents have been added
TableName, col1 col2
permTable, 11, 12
permTable, 21, 22

Need to update one table with value of a column in another table plus a constant:
UPDATE TABLE_A
SET TABLE_A.COLA=TABLE_B.COLB+'10'
FROM TABLE_A
INNER JOIN TABLE_B
ON TABLE_A.COLA=TABLE_B.COLA
WHERE TABLE_A.COLA=TABLE_B.COLA
The above statement works except the concatenated string has space between TABLE_B.COLB text and '10'. How to remove the space (4 characters) so that the string shows as one word 'TABLE_B.COLB10'?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI simply need the ability using SQL to add columns in an existing table before (or after) columns that already exist.
The MS SQL implementation of ALTER TABLE doesn't seem to provide the before or after placement criteria I require. How is this done in MS SQL using SQL or is there a stored procedure I can use?
Thanks.
I have two columns in a table:StartDate DateTime and StartTime DateTime.The StartDate column holds a value such as 07/16/2004The StartTime column holds a value such as 3:00:00 PMI want to be able to add them in a stored procedure.When I use StartDate + StartTime I get a date two days earlier than expected.For example, instead of 7/16/2004 3:00:00 PM StartDate + StartTime returns7/14/2004 3:00:00 PM.Can anyone point out wht I'm doing wrong with this one?Thanks,lq

I'm inserting rows from one table to another and trying to figure out how to not allow nulls from one field. ie - the feeder table can have nulls, but when I insert into the other table, I don't want the records that have NULLS in one field to insert. I hope that's clear.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,I have an application up and running. I need to add a new column to one of the tables which is currently being used - would adding a new column change or cause errors in the current application? e.g. if the table is being accessed by selecting * from table, will adding a new column cause an error? If there is any circumstance where an error would be caused by adding a new column, I will have to create an entirely new table. If I have to do this - how do I get a column in the new table to have the same values as a column in the old table? Can I create a computed column where column=oldcolumn? Thanks,Jon

Can I add a column to a database table without dropping and recreating the table?
The problem is that everytime a user creates an action that requires a new table - at the moment I drop the table and recreate the table with the new column.
This requires lots of resources as I have to populate the table again.
Is there a design way I can go around this?
I previously posted about a problem where I added a non-NULL DEFAULT 0 bit column to a table with 80 million records. It was taking a LONG time and we needed that database up fast. It ended up taking a total of 17 hours.
Now my coworker added the same non-NULL DEFAULT 0 bit column to another table on another important server. But this table has more like 400 million rows. It's been running for 100+ hours and is still going. We were hoping it would scale linearly (5*80 million records would hopefully take 5*17 hours) but that isn't happening. I have no idea how much longer it will take. I really need this to be done. I'm tempted to cancel but that will incur a potentially massive rollback, right? Any guestimate on how large that would be?
Any ideas?
Hi,
I would like to alter a table in a sql server database then update the column with data in the same script. However, the database does not recognize the database column if I create it within the script. Is there a way to refresh this within the script so that I can run this in one procedure? If I create the table in one script then update in a second script it will work. Thanks.

I have a pretty simple SQL query that has two columns that contains only numbers. Is there a way i can add an extra column that simply subtracts the number in one column from number in the other column.I query the data tables rather than have a live link so the .csv file gets overwritten every time i run the query.

I have two queries I would like to combine the output on. they are as follows:
Select substring(WrkSta.[Name],1,2) 'Location'
,count (aexe.ReturnCode) as '# Patched'
from WrkSta, AeXEvt_AeX_SWD_Execution aexe
where WrkSta.WrkStaId=aexe.WrkStaId
and (WrkSta.[Name] like 'ES%' or WrkSta.[Name]like 'EM%' or WrkSta.[Name] like 'EP%'
or WrkSta.[Name]like 'AB%' or WrkSta.[Name] like 'SU-NP%'
or WrkSta.[Name] like 'ET%')
and (aexe.returncode='0' or
aexe.returncode ='3010')
and aexe.AdvertisementName like 'MS05-035-043%'
group by substring (WrkSta.[Name], 1,2)
---
Returns :
Location # Patched
EP 102
ES 1986
ET 19
AB 174
SU 6
EM 506
and the second one:
Select substring(WrkSta.[Name],1,2) 'Location'
,count (coll.WrkStaId ) as '# Workstation'
from WrkSta join AeXNSCollectionMembership coll on WrkSta.WrkStaId=Coll.WrkStaId
where coll.CollectionGuid = '38F5DAFC-E09D-49A5-A0FD-370983CA7596'

returns:

No mater how I try to do a join to do this in a single query I end up with what looks like a cross-join and # workstations and # Patched jump to huge numbers.
