Hi. I would like to copy some records within the same table. what happens is we get very similar new cases in our office and we want to apply the same information from one client to the new client.
i looked at:
INSERT INTO ClientSpecs (ClientID, Spec1, Spec2, etc.)
SELECT Spec1, Spec2 from ClientSpecs WHERE ClientID=1234
but i want to use the new client id in place of the old client id. is there a way to do this? does this make sense? we're basically copying one client's file to a new client's file, except we need to use the new client's id.
Hi I have a table with a user column and other columns. User column id the primary key.
I want to create a copy of the record where the user="user1" and insert that copy in the same table in a new created record. But I want the new record to have a value of "user2" in the user column instead of "user1" since it's a primary key
If on the source I have a new column, the script generated by SqlPackage.exe recreates the table on the background with moving the data into a temp storage. If the table is big, such approach can cause issues.
Example of the script is below: in the source project I added columns [MyColumn_LINE_1] and [MyColumn_LINE_5].
Is there any way I can make it generating an alter statement instead?
BEGIN TRANSACTION; SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE; SET XACT_ABORT ON; CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tmp_ms_xx_MyTable] ( [MyColumn_TYPE_CODE] CHAR (3) NOT NULL,
[Code] ....
The same script is generated regardless the table having data or not, having a clustered or nonclustered PK.
i have 2 tables (both containing the same column names/datatypes), say table1 and table2.. table1 is the most recent, but some rows were deleted on accident.. table2 was a backup that has all the data we need, but some of it is old, so what i want to do is overwrrite the rows in table 2 that also exist in table 1 with the table 1 rows, but the rows in table 2 that do not exist in table one, leave those as is.. both tables have a primary key, user_id.
Is that possible to restrict inserting the record if record already exist in the table.
Scenario: query should be
We are inserting a bulk information of data, it should not insert the row if it already exist in the table. excluding that it should insert the other rows.
Hi All,I have a table in SQL Server 2000 that contains several million memberids. Some of these member ids are duplicated in the table, and eachrecord is tagged with a 1 or a 2 in [recsrc] to indicate where theycame from.I want to remove all member ids records from the table that have arecsrc of 1 where the same member id also exists in the table with arecsrc of 2.So, if the member id has a recsrc of 1, and no other record exists inthe table with the same member id and a recsrc of 2, I want it leftuntouched.So, in a theortetical dataset of member id and recsrc:0001, 10002, 20001, 20003, 10004, 2I am looking to only delete the first record, because it has a recsrcof 1 and there is another record in the table with the same member idand a recsrc of 2.I'd very much appreciate it if someone could help me achieve this!Much warmth,Murray
Probabaly a silly question yet as a DOTNET developer, I'm trying to simulate DTS when for example, I don't have permission to perform DTS on a production server.
In particular and interested regards caching of rows before the service decides to flush the buffer and write to the target table. Safe to assume DTS is cursor based?
I need to copy the following columns from my Employee table in my Performance DB to my Employee table in my VacationRequest DB: CompanyID, FacilityID, EmployeeID, FirstName, LastName, [Password] = 'nippert', Role = 'Employee' I tried the advice on this website but to no avail:http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_select_into.asp
I need to update a table by copying a column from another table(having the samestructure, but on another database), from the record having the sameprimary key.1 - What is the correct query?2 - I tried copying them record by record, but the datatype is ntext,(it displays <longtext> in the result pane), and trying to update it results in thefollowing errormessage:The text, ntext, and image data types are invalid in this subquery oraggregateexpression.I tried variations of the following:UPDATE TABLESET column0 = (SELECTcolumn0FROManotherDB.dbo.TABLEWHEREanotherDB.dbo.TABLE.column1 = column1)WHEREanotherDB.dbo.TABLE.column1 = column1
select * into dbo.ashutosh from attribute where 1=2
"USE WHERE 1=2 TO AVOID COPYING OF DATA"
//HERE "ASHUTOSH" IS THE NEW TABLE NAME AND "ATTRIBUTE" IS THE TABLE WHOSE REFERENCE IS USED// //the logic is to use where clause with 1=2 which will never be true and hence it will not return any row//
I have "inherited" a project working on a SQL 2000 database. The project calculates commissions based on data from an invoice header table and an invoice details table. The goal is to extract data from the primary database tables, perform limited manipulations, and store the resultant data into a table in a different database for reference and reporting. I have the query complete that extracts and manipulates the data, but I am stuck in trying to add this data to the final storage/reporting table. I would also like to do error checking to be certain that a record is not "re-inserted" from the source data to the destination table. Thanks in advance, Barry
I have 2 databases on the same sql server. Both have the same tables. I need to copy the contents of tableA from the source database to TableA on the destination database. Can I do this using a SQL script or some kind of script, and if so how and what would the syntax be.
I am assuming there is some functionality to copy and paste a table in sql server..however I am not seeing where I can do this what I want to do is this:
create table1 as select * from table 2;
Please let me know how I can create a new table as a replica of an existing table. Thanks so much!
I found an option to copy a table without having to script the table, now I can't find it. Is there an option to do this? When I selected the option, it didn't work. Any ideas? Also how do you turn off trace and statistics?

Hi,Whats the best and easiest way to copy a table from one database to another via ASP.net?I want to copy from SQL Server to Oracle. I have an ODBC connection for Oracle.I was thinking I could use a DataSet, but wasn't sure of the details on doing this. Am I off base on this?What I have so far..1) I can get the data from SQL Server into a DataSet.2) I can establish a connection to Oracle via ODBC and the database has the appropriate table structure.How do I 'use' the SQL Server DataSet to copy the data to Oracle?Thanks,Scott
When I copy a table to another SQL server database, the IDENTITY and other constraints don't get copied. Is there any way to do it apart from running ALTER script separately. And, how do I Add IDENTITY(1,1) to an already existing table column.
How can I create a table identical to another one? I need to copy the indexes a constraint too. Example: I have a table "employee" and I want another table "employee2" with the same indexes and primary key and references.
I need to copy a column which contains a list of integers to a new column. Can someone please tell me how I can do this using a query statement? Thanks in advance.
I need to perform a query on a table. With the results of the query, I want to copy those results into the same table that I ran the query on. The trick is, I need to update 3 of the values before I can re-insert the results back into the same table.
We upgraded to SQL Server 2005 & I'm having trouble with the Import and Export Wizard in the Management Studio. We periodically need to export some data to a different database to save it while we update the 'real' database which basically starts it over with empty tables. Under SQL Server 2000 that wasn't a problem. Under 2005 it is.
The database comes from a vendor and nearly every table in it has a timestamp column & when I try to import/export the rows I get a Validation Error: Error 0xc0202048: Data Flow Task: Attempting insertion into the row version column "timestamp". Cannot insert into a row version column.
Now I can write a query that omits the timestamp column & the import/export works perfectly-but a couple of the tables have over a hundred fields! (Oh, what I'd give for an 'except' analog to the * selection.)
I have a DB on a SQL server version SQL 2000. I have copied over one table onto a different server into a newly created DB. This DB is on SQL 2005.
The tables are identical in structure.
Now I need to copy over the differential from the Source table on the SQL 2000 server into the table on the destination server which is SQL 2005 on a daily basis.
What is the best way of doing this? It is just 1 table, I do not need the entire DB.
This table does hold a lot of records and on a daily basis there will be roughly 20,000 that need to be copied over. One of the main reasons for the differential only is that these 2 servers are physically located on different continents so the connection speed is not that great.
The table in the Source holds about 36 million records already (which I copied over to get the initial start).
Any ideas, help, suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Michiel
Hi, I wanted to know a query in sql that would copy a whole table from one database to another database with both the structure and the content. strangely, my college professor don't know the same. I tried looking in the help menu in sql but it didn't helping me much. Help me out...!! I have a deadline to meet. I really would appreciate it. thanxs. --vijay.
