how do i add a new field and insert a value into it?
I'm importing data from another table into a new one, but my source table has a char field and the target filed is (int) can I add a new field to the source file and add a value to it? and how?
I have in my source table a field call companyName that contains text and the target table has a companyId which is an INT.
If I create a field call companyId and add a value of '1' depending on the value of CompanyName...
This is what i want ot do
if CompanyName = LA then insert 1 into new filed companyID
How can I do that? I have to do this for 100 or more tables. Can I write a script that will do that for me?
does it make sence?
Hi, I have a concern about adding a new field to a table with image field - which is huge. Will there be a problem with some databases, where they have a hard time locating data correctly after such a large field? Previously this happened to me, and what was advised to put all the big fields at the end of the table. Thanks.
does anyone know if there is a way, or perhaps a custom toolbox control that is already developed that allows you to drag an entire dataset into a table, instead of pulling everything in field by field...?
I need to add a field to a query which i have created in SQL Server, i have done this in Access no problem and it works fine but when icopy the SQL code from Access to SQL it just falls over. This is my code in Access...
SELECT AIMPDTA_CDADDR.CDCUST, AIMPDTA_CDADDR.CDADDC, AIMPDTA_CDADDR.CDNAME, AIMPDTA_CDADDR.CDADD1, AIMPDTA_CDADDR.CDADD2, AIMPDTA_CDADDR.CDADD3, [CDCUST] & [CDADDC] AS Expr1 FROM AIMPDTA_CDADDR LEFT JOIN AIMPDTA_ASAREA ON AIMPDTA_CDADDR.CDNAME = AIMPDTA_ASAREA.ASNAME WHERE (((AIMPDTA_CDADDR.CDADDC)<>" "));
I keep getting the following error message but I don't see what's wrong with my code

Hi All,I am trying to insert symbols in a field of a table. I am using the datatype nvarchar for the field.However when i tried to insert a statement with the symbol pi, it comes out as following:(A) 100? cm2 (B) 140? cm2 (C) 200? cm2All the pi symbol are converted to ?.Can ne 1 tell me how i can store such strings in the field.Thanks
I'm trying to insert a string expression into a varbinary field. I've tried it several ways, but the data does not seem to get inserted.
I map DT_STR field ("T") with varbinary field in destination table and the package executes properly, but when I see the data that it has been loaded I only see empty values (0x).
I have also tried other approaches, like converting to DT_BYTES during SSIS flow, but I always get the same result.
I have a table with the following schema: CREATE TABLE [itis].[wrk_taxon_authors] ( [wb_taxon_author_id] [int] NOT NULL , [taxon_author_id] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL , [taxon_author] [varchar] (100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL , [kingdom_id] [smallint] NOT NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] GO
I am trying to insert the following data (as you can see fields are seperated with the | ):
19||Flores-Villela and Sánchez-H., 2003|5| 20||Wiegmann, 1828|5| 16|17482|Gray, 1838|5| 17|9823|(Wiegmann, 1828)|5| I get the following error:Server: Msg 4869, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Bulk Insert failed. Unexpected NULL value in data file row 1, column 2. Destination column (taxon_author_id) is defined NOT NULL. Server: Msg 4869, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Bulk Insert failed. Unexpected NULL value in data file row 2, column 2. Destination column (taxon_author_id) is defined NOT NULL.
Since I have defined column 2 as an identity column, I don't understand why SQL Query analyzer is upset when I do not have a value in that field. To me, I would think it would auto-insert an integer (starting at seed 1 and incrementing by 1), but it doesn't. Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I have this problem: I'm creating a weblinked database using Access and ASP. The problem is that the fields in the table won't be always the same. E.g. sometimes there will be need for an extra field, but after a while it may not be necessary anymore. Users should be able to add a field to the table (and if possible delete one later on)
I don't whether it is possible to use sql to add a field to an accessdbase. Or is there another way to solve this problem?
thanks for your reply, yours sincerely, Dimitri De Vos
After the records are inserted I need to add the amt's where freefield3 equals rebate then subtract that sum from the amt where account = 1444. So my final result would be to have 80.00 in the amt field where account equals 1444
I am trying to insert 1000000.00 into my sql table from a webpage. I as long as the amount is 999.99 or less it works fine, once higher then that amount it gives me an error. Below is the code I am using to do the insert, it gets the error on the insert and the update both: I am getting the error on the price inserting the FormatCurrency(txtprice.Text) SelectStatement = "Insert crewchief (crewchief, price, car_num) Select '" & txtcrewchief.Text & "', " & FormatCurrency(txtprice.Text) & ", '" & txtcarnum.Text & "'" Adapter.SelectCommand = New SqlClient.SqlCommand(SelectStatement, myConnection) MyCommandBuilder = New SqlClient.SqlCommandBuilder(Adapter) Adapter.Fill(MatcherDS, "temp") Any ideas on why?
I have a datetime field in a database which I am programmatically inserting values into. The field can be null or not null. However, I am having problems inserting NULL as part of my SQLCommand. The value is pulled from a text box (linked to a calendar extender) and when I select a value it is being inserted fine. If I just leave the box blank though, I want the field to be set to NULL. I have tried adding in ,DBNULL.Value, as part of my VALUES(…) string, but this throws an exception. I Have tried just inserting ‘’ but that also throws an exception (“The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value�), so I don’t know how I can insert this value when the field is blank? Can anyone shed some light please? Thanks
I have a field in a db table which is like a chat history.I need to update the field with a user's input (put into a multiline text box) and append that to the beginning of the field.The problem is that I want to maintain line breaks when I retrieve the field into a multiline textbox (aka textarea) and can't figure it out.I've searched around and have seen lots of solutions for converting line breaks into <br> tags, but those people are trying to output to a label.I'm using an update command in my SqlDataSource like this: UpdateCommand="UPDATE [account] SET [history] = @history + history WHERE [id] = 1"With a parameter declaration like this: <UpdateParameters> <asp:ControlParameter Name="history" ControlID="TextBox1" PropertyName="Text" /> </UpdateParameters>If I try to concatenate in a or CHR(10), the characters are literally inserted. Like this for example (this is the last variation I tried).... UpdateCommand="UPDATE [account] SET [history] = @history + CHR(10) + history WHERE [id] = 1"How do I store a CrLf programatically?
I have looked and looked for any information on how to insert data from a db into a text field using a stored procedure. If anyone has any helpful links or suggestions, my sanity would greatly appreciate the help.
Hello, I was wondering if someone could give me some insight to why i may be having this SQL 05 problem. I have setup a series of cells using say vchar(max). However when i go into add data in the table if I enter anything on of the word i.e. insert(Hello my name is) This red circle with an exclamation mark ( ! ) pops up and then if i continue to do another row it wont let me continue. The message i get is Error Source: .netSql Client Data provider Error message: String or binary data would be truncated. The statement has been terminated, Then it says to fix this or press escape, i have never seen this before can help me out as I have no idea why this is happening. Any help much appreciated.

Hi! I want to add a word to a value if the value already exists in that field. How to do this? Please help me. In detail, i have 'id', 'name' and 'info' three columns in one Data Table. When I inserted one value to id field, if the value already exists it should add a word to that value and it should get inserted. Please help me to do this? Thanks in advance!
I want to add a computed field to an existing SQL table: where Field1 is >0 and field2 is not null set newfield = 'Y' else set newfield = 'N'
I want to keep this existing table because I'm using it as the basis for an Access Report that is nearly complete.
BTW this table is the result of a DTS package that is comprised of several SQL executables so I need to be able to repeat this as part of a larger process.
Newbie question:Aside from the single quote (i.e. chr(39)) what other characters can causeMS-SQLserver to cough-up the insertion / update back in your face?TIA
Hi all, I am stuck in the following situation, I have following query:
SELECT EM1.VALUE AS 'P_ABC', EM2.VALUE AS 'P_XYZ', COUNT(EM1.VALUE) AS 'COUNTS' FROM TABLE_1 EM1, TABLE_1 EM2 WHERE EM1.EXTENDED_PROPERTY_GID IN (SELECT GID FROM TABLE_3 WHERE NAME = 'ABC' ) AND EM2.EXTENDED_PROPERTY_GID IN (SELECT GID FROM TABLE_3 WHERE NAME = 'XYZ' ) AND EM1.DOCUMENT_METADATA_ENTRY_GID = EM2.DOCUMENT_METADATA_ENTRY_GID group by EM1.VALUE,EM2.VALUE
There is foreign key relation between EXTENDED_PROPERTY_GID OF TABLE_1 AND GID FROM TABLE_3
Now, I want to create an ad hoc report but the problem is when I add EM1.VALUE to display the P_ABC, I am not able to add EM2.VALUE after that, may be because refere to same column of same table. I have to add EM1.VALUE and EM2.VALUE both to display result but I am not able to do it.
What is the solution for this problem ? Its kind of urgent.
what i understand if if the data field is integer or money, not string, then i need to do a convert(datatype, value) in the insert but how come its still not working INSERT INTO [Product] ([Title], [Description], [Processor], [Motherboard], [Chipset], [RAM], [HDD], [OpticalDrive], [Graphics], [Sound], [Speakers], [LCD], [Keyboard], [Mouse], [Chassis], [PSU], [Price]) VALUES (@Title, @Description, @Processor, @Motherboard, @Chipset, @RAM, @HDD, @OpticalDrive, @Graphics, @Sound, @Speakers, @LCD, @Keyboard, @Mouse, @Chassis, @PSU, convert(smallmoney, @Price))

Hi, I have a problem when I insert a date in a datetime field in a MSSQLServer. That's my problem: if the server is in english version, I have to insert date with this code:
DateTime.Today.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")
instead if the server is in italian version, I have to insert date with this code:
DateTime.Today.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")
Is there a way to insert a date in standard way, without knowing the server version?

This is probaly the easiest question you've ever read but here goes.
I have a simple checkbox value that i want to insert into the database but whatever i do it does not seem to let me.
Here is my code:
Sub AddSection_Click(Sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Dim myCommand As SqlCommand Dim insertCmd As String ' Build a SQL INSERT statement string for all the input-form ' field values. insertCmd = "insert into Customers values (@SectionName, @SectionLink, @Title, @NewWindow, @LatestNews, @Partners, @Support);" ' Initialize the SqlCommand with the new SQL string. myCommand = New SqlCommand(insertCmd, myConnection) ' Create new parameters for the SqlCommand object and ' initialize them to the input-form field values. myCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@SectionName", SqlDbType.nVarChar, 50)) myCommand.Parameters("@SectionName").Value = Section_name.Value
If New_window.Checked = false Then myCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@NewWindow", SqlDbType.bit, 1)) myCommand.Parameters("@NewWindow").Value = 0 else myCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@NewWindow", SqlDbType.bit, 1)) myCommand.Parameters("@NewWindow").Value = 1 End If
If Latest_news.Checked = false Then myCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@LatestNews", SqlDbType.bit, 1)) myCommand.Parameters("@LatestNews").Value = 0 else myCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@LatestNews", SqlDbType.bit, 1)) myCommand.Parameters("@LatestNews").Value = 1 End If
If Partners.Checked = false Then myCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Partners", SqlDbType.bit, 1)) myCommand.Parameters("@Partners").Value = 0 else myCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Partners", SqlDbType.bit, 1)) myCommand.Parameters("@Partners").Value = 1 End If
If Support.Checked = false Then myCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Support", SqlDbType.bit, 1)) myCommand.Parameters("@Support").Value = 0 else myCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Support", SqlDbType.bit, 1)) myCommand.Parameters("@Support").Value = 1 End If

I've just noticed some strange behavior that seems like a bug to me. It's much easier to follow an example of it that to outright explain it, so here goes.
I have a table defined with a NOT NULL constraint on a column and a default clause: -- DROP TABLE TestTable CREATE TABLE TestTable ( TestField0 varchar(10), TestField1 varchar(10) NOT NULL DEFAULT ('a') )
I have a view defined on the table, in this example case, the view just mirrors the table one to one: -- DROP VIEW TestView CREATE VIEW TestView as SELECT TestField0, TestField1 FROM TestTable
So far so good, if I run this statement, it works as I would expect and inserts the value and the default goes into the other field: INSERT INTO TestView (TestField0) SELECT 'test'
Now... If I add an INSTEAD OF trigger to the view, and have it perform the insert for me, I get an error with the same insert stmt: -- DROP TRIGGER TestTrigger CREATE TRIGGER TestTrigger ON TestView INSTEAD OF INSERT AS BEGIN INSERT INTO TestTable (TestField0, TestField1) SELECT TestField0, COALESCE(TestField1, 'X') FROM inserted END
Notice the trigger will ensure that a null value cannot be inserted into TestField1. If I run this insert stmt though I get an error: INSERT INTO TestView (TestField0) SELECT 'test'
Server: Msg 233, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 The column 'TestField1' in table 'TestView' cannot be null.
