Is it possible to use CASE statement with INSERT /UPDATE statement?this is what i am trying to do i have a table like this Field1 Field2 Field3 FieldType1 FieldType2 FieldType3 1-when there is no data for a given combination of Field2 and Field3,i need to do "insert".i.e the very first time and only time 2-Second time,when there is already a row created for a given combination of Field2 and Field3,i would do the update onwards from there on. At a time value can be present for only one of the FieldType1,FieldType2,FieldType3) for insert or update I am passing a parameter to the stored procedure,which needs to be evaluated and wud determine,which field out of (FieldType1,FieldType2,FieldType3)has a value for insert or update .this is what i am trying to do in a stored procedure CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.StoredProcedure ( @intField1 int, @intField2 int, @intField3 int, @intFieldValue int , @evalFieldName varchar(4) )So i am trying something like CaseWHEN @evalFieldName ="Fld1" THENINSERT INTO TABLE1 (Field2,Field3,fieldType1,FieldType2,FieldType3)values (@intField1,@intField2,@intField3,@intFieldValue,cast(null as int) fld2 ,cast(null as int) fld3) CaseWHEN @evalFieldName ="Fld2" THENINSERT INTO TABLE1 (Field2,Field3,fieldType1,FieldType2,FieldType3)values (@intField1,@intField2,@intField3,cast(null as int) fld1 ,@intFieldValue,cast(null as int) fld3) CaseWHEN @evalFieldName ="Fld3" THENINSERT INTO TABLE1 (Field2,Field3,fieldType1,FieldType2,FieldType3)values (@intField1,@intField2,@intField3,cast(null as int) fld1 ,cast(null as int) fld2,@intFieldValue) END similar trend needs to be followed for UPDATE as well..obiviousely its not working,gives me synatax error at case,when,then everywher.so can someone suggest me the alternative way?..i am trying to avoid writing stored procedure to insert/update for each individual fields..thanks a lot
Im trying to do the following but get the error. Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression. The statement has been terminated.
The code is
update [table] set [field 1] = (select (case [field 2] when 'B' then 'Y' when 'C' then 'N' when 'N' then 'N' when 'P' then 'Y' else 'N' end) from [table]), [field 3] = (select (case [field 2] when 'B' then 'Y' when 'C' then 'Y' when 'N' then 'N' when 'P' then 'N' else 'N' end) from [table])
Hello,Within an INSERT statement where the VALUES are expressed, is itpossible to evaluate one or more of the values with CASE or IFstatements?Consider the following code;INSERT INTO snbat011_app_clnt(entr_cd,app_id,clnt_id,clnt_type,clnt_frst_name,clnt_mid_name,clnt_lst_name,clnt_gender)VALUES(@EntrCode, @AppId, @ClientId, @FirstName, @MidName, @LastName,If @FormType = 'SimplifiedApp Or (@FormType = 'AccidentApp' And @FormId= 'AccidentAppRls0304') Then@GenderElse'' )The entry of a value for clnt_gender depends on the statements in theIf condition. If one condition is met, then the parameter value in@Gender is used, otherwise, the entry is an empty string.How would you recommend that I handle this kind of situation?Thank you for your help!CSDunn
Is it possible to use CASE in update statement? What is the syntax? I need to pass parameter @week, when @week = 0, 2, 4, then field = @Status and so on Thanks.
What I want is to update the field 'SaleMonthName' based on the 'SaleMonthNum' field using the CASE expression. I want something like this (pseudo-code):
update Mytable set SaleMonthName Case: IF SaleMonthNum =1, then := 'January' IF SaleMonthNum =2, then := 'February' ... IF SaleMonthNum =12, then := 'December'
Hi, I have this update statement that works, it updates the totalamount to calc amount, but I want to update totalamount only when it is not equal to calcamt.I have tried many things but in vain.Can some one please help me. How do i use case statements to update only when totalamount!=calcamt.

If I have a table with 1 or more Nullable fields and I want to make sure that when an INSERT or UPDATE occurs and one or more of these fields are left to NULL either explicitly or implicitly is there I can set these to non-null values without interfering with the INSERT or UPDATE in as far as the other fields in the table?
EXAMPLE:
CREATE TABLE dbo.MYTABLE( ID NUMERIC(18,0) IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, FirstName VARCHAR(50) NULL, LastName VARCHAR(50) NULL,
[Code] ....
If an INSERT looks like any of the following what can I do to change the NULL being assigned to DateAdded to a real date, preferable the value of GetDate() at the time of the insert? I've heard of INSTEAD of Triggers but I'm not trying tto over rise the entire INSERT or update just the on (maybe 2) fields that are being left as null or explicitly set to null. The same would apply for any UPDATE where DateModified is not specified or explicitly set to NULL. I would want to change it so that DateModified is not null on any UPDATE.
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName, DateAdded) VALUES('John','Smith',NULL)
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName) VALUES('John','Smith')
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName, DateAdded) SELECT FirstName, LastName, NULL FROM MYOTHERTABLE
I have a web form with a text field that needs to take in as much as the user decides to type and insert it into an nvarchar(max) field in the database behind. I've tried using the new .write() method in my update statement, but it cuts off the text after a while. Is there a way to insert/update in SQL 2005 this without resorting to Bulk Insert? It bloats the transaction log and turning the logging off requires a call to sp_dboptions (or a straight-up ALTER DATABASE), which I'd like to avoid if I can.
when inserting into a temp table, if im creating the table there an then with select into statement, can i use if or case statements to decide on column names.
eg select if bla = 0 then call col a else call col b
Hello everyone, is there anyway to use an update sub query in a case expression , something like this for exampleselect username,(case when password ='606' then (update users set username = 'me' where id= '3') else password end) from users i have been googling this issue just with no usefull resultsthanks for any replyMahmoud Manasrah

How to make this query right.. when name of school is blank i want to update my category to No facility, but if the name of school has data it will just make it blank. same to the status..
I am one very frustrated beginner. If it were not for wonderful information in this forum I would have taken early retirement by now!
Table contains information about new and departing computer and phone users in several departments which we support. This is an existing table which I'm trying to clean up. The essential part:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[HelpDesk_NewUser]( [AutoNumber] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [SubmittedDate] [datetime] NULL, [FirstName] [varchar](100) NOT NULL, [LastName] [varchar](100) NOT NULL, [Department] [varchar](100) NOT NULL, [StartDate] [datetime] NULL, [DepartDate] [datetime] NULL [RequestedBy] [varchar](100) NOT NULL, [UpdatedBy] [varchar](16) NOT NULL, [CurrentStatus] [varchar](10) NOT NULL , [DateCurrentStatus] [datetime] NULL, [FormType] [varchar](10) NOT NULL, ) ON [PRIMARY]
There can be more than one record per FirstName, LastName. FormType can be N for new or D for departing. I want to do this for each record: Read the FormType and Department from the record with the most recent activity (SubmittedDate) for each user Convert Department to a 4 character department number Update CurrentStatus with (FormType concatenated with the 4 character dept number) in all records for that user.
I have created another table called UserMostRecent which contains the most recent record for each user.
I have written a query to do this by brute force (read a record, set local variables, update a record), but I would like learn a simpler way to do it. I don't understand the syntax of CASE because it seems to change depending on where it is used.
Here is what I have tried that does not work. Error is "Incorrect syntax near word CASE"
UPDATE HelpDesk_NewUser SET DateCurrentStatus = b.DateMostRecent, CurrentStatus = (b.FormType + a.Department CASE WHEN 'Roads Department' THEN '3000' WHEN 'Engineering and Survey Services' THEN '1900' WHEN 'Waste Management' THEN '8999' WHEN 'Kern Air Pollution Control District' THEN '9149' WHEN 'Environmental Health' THEN '4113' WHEN 'Building Inspection' THEN '2625' WHEN 'Animal Control' THEN '2760' WHEN 'Planning Department' THEN '2750' WHEN 'Community and Economic Development' THEN '5940' WHEN 'Resource Management Agency' THEN '2730' WHEN 'Code Compliance' THEN '2620' WHEN 'Roads Kern Regional Transit' THEN '8998' END) FROM HelpDesk_NewUser a JOIN UserMostRecent b ON (a.LastName = b.LastName and a.FirstName = b.FirstName)
I am trying to run the below but I get an error of 'Incorrect syntax ')'' Â --- I have tried every angle I can think of around the parens to fix this but nothing I do is working.
UPDATE abcdefg SET [Date] = GETDate(), [readytogo] = ( CASE WHEN [customername] NOT IN (Select [customername] from [server].[database].[dbo].[view]) THEN 'Yes' ELSE 'Needs Verification'
I'm working on inserting data into a table in a database. The table has two separate triggers, one for insert and one for update (I don't like it this way, but that's how it's been for years). When there is a normal insert, done via a program, it looks like the triggers work fine. When I run an insert manually via a script, the first insert trigger will run, but the update trigger will fail. I narrowed down the issue to a root cause.
This root issue is due to both triggers using the same temporary table name. When the second trigger runs, there's an error stating that a few columns don't exist. I went to my test server and test db and changed the update trigger so that the temporary table is different than the insert trigger temporary table, the triggers work fine. The weird thing is that if the temporary table already exists, when the second trigger tries to create the temporary table, I would expect it to fail and say that it already exists.I'm probably just going to update the trigger tonight and change the temporary table name.
Hi - Please excuse me if this is really simple, but I'm fairly new to this lark.
My (made up) code is below... I'd be grateful for any pointers.
insert into [tblInvoices] (full_period, supplier_no, account_code, tran_amount, function) select full_period, supplier_no, account_code, tran_amount case when substring(account_code,1,2) = 'FY' then '-' when isNumeric(account_code) then left(account_code, 2) when not isNumeric(substring(account_code,1,2)) then left(account_code, 1) else 'oops' end as function, from tblLoadMSV900_i end
Is this even close?
I'm using a stored proc to insert the data from tblLoadMSV900_i into tblInvoices and at the same time insert some data into the function field.
In plain english I want make sure that: If the first 2 chars of account_code are 'FY' then function='-', If the first char of account_code is numeric then function=left(account_code, 2), If the the first char is not numeric (and if first two chars are not 'FY' i.e. first char could be 'F') then function=left(account_code, 1)
And there's plenty more where this came from! But if I can crack this with your help then I should have a better idea about the rest of the proc.
I have a situation where I want to update a column if and only if it is null.
UPDATE Employee SET VEmployeeID = CASE WHEN E.VEmployeeID IS NULL THEN ves.VEmployeeID END FROM Employee E INNER JOIN VEmployeeStaging VES ON E.EID= VES.EID
But what happens is when I run the procedure every other time I run it, it changes everything to null. The other times it puts the VEmployeeID in.
So what is happening is the times when it is not null (where it is not supposed to do anything) it puts a null in. The next time it works.
I am relatively new to complex queries and need creating a query using a CASE in order to update columns to be either A or B. A few things about this is that I am joining tables from linked servers as well. This is the last part. I execute the query and receive the error:
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'from'.
select (select FirstName from [ZZZXXX].HCM.dbo.tPerson where PersonGUID = tPersonJobHistAlias.SupervisorPersonGUID) as supervisorFirstName, (select LastName from [ZZZXXX].HCM.dbo.tPerson where PersonGUID = tPersonJobHistAlias.SupervisorPersonGUID) as supervisorLastName, (select PersonID from [ZZZXXX].HCM.dbo.tPerson where PersonGUID = tPersonJobHistAlias.SupervisorPersonGUID) as SupervisorEmployeeID,
I have used the below update query. However, its updating only the first value. Like its updating AB with volume when c.Type = ABC, similarly for CD. Its not updating based on the 2nd or the next case condition.  Update XYZ Set AB = a.Amt * (CASE WHEN c.Type = 'ABC' THEN (c.volume)  WHEN c.TYPE = 'DEF' THEN (c.volume)  WHEN c.Type = 'GHI' THEN (c.volume)  Else 0  END),  CD = CASE WHEN c.Type = 'MARGIN' THEN '4105.31'  WHEN c.Type = 'ABC' THEN '123.1'  WHEN c.Type = 'DEF' THEN '234.2' WHEN c.Type = 'GHI' THEN '567.1' END  from table1 a join table2 b  on a.Cust = b.Customer  join table3 c  on b.account = c.account and b.channel =c.channel
Why its not working properly? But if i use Select statement instead of update query its working properly.
table A: | ID | FRUIT | VEGETABLE | GOOD | -------------------------------------------- |  1 | orange | cabbage    |  no  | |  1 | apple | lettuce       | yes  | |  1 | kiwi    | broccoli     |  no  | |  1 | pear   | kale          | yes  |
table B: | ID | FRUIT | VEGETABLE | ------------------------------- | 1 | apple | lettuce      | | 2 | pear   |  kale        |
If the fruit and vegetable in table A is found in table B, then set the GOOD column = yes, else no.
This is what I have so far.
update tableA set GOOD = (case when tableA.id = C.id then 'yes' else 'no' end ) from (select tableA.id as id from tableA A left join tableB B on B.fruit = A.fruit and B.vegetable = A.vegetable) C
can insert statement works fine in case when function
for example
case when condition1=true then (first insert statement based on some condition) when condition2=true then (second insert statement based on some other condition) end
Hello,I am writing a stored procedure that will take data from severaldifferent tables and will combine the data into a single table for ourdata warehouse. It is mostly pretty straightforward stuff, but there isone issue that I am not sure how to handle.The resulting table has a column that is an ugly concatenation fromseveral columns in the source. I didn't design this and I can't huntdown and kill the person who did, so that option is out. Here is asimplified version of what I'm trying to do:CREATE TABLE Source (grp_id INT NOT NULL,mbr_id DECIMAL(18, 0) NOT NULL,birth_date DATETIME NULL,gender_code CHAR(1) NOT NULL,ssn CHAR(9) NOT NULL )GOALTER TABLE SourceADD CONSTRAINT PK_SourcePRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (grp_id, mbr_id)GOCREATE TABLE Destination (grp_id INT NOT NULL,mbr_id DECIMAL(18, 0) NOT NULL,birth_date DATETIME NULL,gender_code CHAR(1) NOT NULL,member_ssn CHAR(9) NOT NULL,subscriber_ssn CHAR(9) NOT NULL )GOALTER TABLE DestinationADD CONSTRAINT PK_DestinationPRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (grp_id, mbr_id)GOThe member_ssn is the ssn for the row being imported. Each member alsohas a subscriber (think of it as a parent-child kind of relationship)where the first 9 characters of the mbr_id (as a zero-padded string)match and the last two are "00". For example, given the followingmbr_id values:1234567890012345678901123456789021111111110022222222200They would have the following subscribers:mbr_id subscriber mbr_id12345678900 1234567890012345678901 1234567890012345678902 1234567890011111111100 1111111110022222222200 22222222200So, for the subscriber_ssn I need to find the subscriber using theabove rule and fill in that ssn.I have a couple of ideas on how I might do this, but I'm wondering ifanyone has tackled a similar situation and how you solved it.The current system does an insert with an additional column for thesubscriber mbr_id then it updates the table using that column to joinback to the source. I could also join the source to itself in the firstplace to fill it in without the extra update, but I'm not sure if theextra complexity of the insert statement would offset any gains fromputting it all into one statement. I plan to test that on Monday.Thanks for any ideas that you might have.-Tom.
