I am just learning how to program in SQL, so please be patient with me
ok, here it is, i am getting the following errors with my script when i try to execute, and although i realize that this is not the best style to write my script in, i am trying to learn why this is erroring. the errors are:

Hi I have a table called ClientPlan and in which PlanId is the Primary key. another table called ClientSources1 and i have a column called planId.. and i am trying to set that as Foriegn key so that if i delete a record in the ClientPlan table i want the record to be deleted in Clientsources too.. i have tried settting the Foreign in the clientsources table for ClientPlan to Cascade update and delete.. but that doesnt work...and i get the error below... ClientPlan' table saved successfully'ClientSources1' table- Unable to create relationship 'FK_ClientSources1_ClientPlan'. Introducing FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_ClientSources1_ClientPlan' on table 'ClientSources1' may cause cycles or multiple cascade paths. Specify ON DELETE NO ACTION or ON UPDATE NO ACTION, or modify other FOREIGN KEY constraints.Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
I have to synchronize 2 databases hourly but am having difficulty maintaining foreign key relations. These tables use auto-increment columns as primary keys, with child records in other tables related with foreign keys. I can't change the way the local software uses primary or foreign keys as it is hardcoded in the local app. (microsoft retail management system)..(however the web-remote app is easily customized). I am using CDB synchronizer to sync the two databases because the remote one is mysql.
Example tables layout: Items table has auto-increment primary key 'id' TransactionEntry table has its own auto-increment primary key 'id' and a foreign key 'item_id'
Example of how remote and local database foreign key relations are incorrect after sync using CDB synchronizer: 8:00am -first installation of database-'item' tables auto-increment 'id' columns match with id last record value of '6'
locally the following products are added:
11001 short sleeve t---gets added with primary key in 'item' table 'id' of '7'
11002 long sleeve t----gets added with primary key in 'item' table 'id' '8'
remotely the following products are added:
21001 hipster jeans- --gets added with primary key in 'item' table 'id' of '7'
31001 overalls---gets added with primary key in 'item' table 'id' '8'
remotely someone orders 21001..so TransactionEntry table records sale of "item_id" of '7', but after synch with our local server,
product with "item_id" of '7' is "short sleeve t".
9:00 -synch takes place...item_id foreign key isn't accurate because of independent auto-increment values..
whenever a product is ordered, the TransactionEntry table will record the product's ID column thats available in it's own local copy... after synch, the 'item_id' field will not match the 'Item' table id field and the data about the transaction's product is lost.
I have read of solutions involving staging/temporary tables to cascade update foreign keys before synching into main database, but hopefully there is a more elegant solution for this. If this is only way, will it be reliable? foreign key mix-match seems like could cause havoc.
I am having trouble loading tables (within the same data flow) that have a foriegn key relationship defined between them. For instance:
Table A is a parent (one side of the relationship) to Table B (many side of the relationship).
I am trying to load Table A first within the data flow and then Table B after, but I get the following error:
[OCMD EntityRole Insert [2666]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E2F. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E2F Description: "The statement has been terminated.". An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E2F Description: "The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_EntityRole_Entity". The conflict occurred in database "ODS", table "dbo.Entity", column 'EntityGuid'.".
I am currently using OLE DB commands to perform the inserts, I load table A and move on to then load Table B, I can see the records in Table A before trying to load Table B but for some reason Table B load still fails.
I was thinking maybe this has something to do with the transaction setting or Isolation level but have played with this to no avail (currently everything is the default - supported/serializable). Also, I am thinking maybe because the OLE DB commands are creating two seperate connections (they are using the same connection manager) the second one is unable to see the transactions from the other (first) connection (Table A)?
Is there a way around this without dropping (disabling) forigen keys before the load and adding them back in after? Would like to avoid this?
I would also like to avoid reading the data source multiple times. Everything I need is in the one source so I would like to populate multiple tables from the one source data stream instead of reading the same data 2,3 or 4 times etc.
Seems to me there must be a simple explanation/solution for this but I'm stuck at this point?
P.S.
I was intially using OLE DB destinations (because they are much faster) and was having the same issue, which made sense because the OLE DB destinations do not let you pass the data stream on so I had to multi cast to the destinations so they were loading at the same time. I would rather use the OLE DB destinations so if you have any ideas around how I could do this using those components that would be appreciated too!
How do I go about protecting rows from deletion in this scenerio? Rule 1 The Administrator Users Account may not be deleted Rule 2 All Groups have Administrator as a member, and the Administrator cannot be removed. Rule 3 All Groups have the Administrators Group as a member, and the Administrators Group cannot be removed.
Four tables:
Users Table ( UID bigint Identity seeded with 1234 Primary key UserID varchar(30) NOT NULL UNIQUE
) INSERT FIRST RECORD (this record needs to be protected from deletion) UID = 1234 UserID='Admininstrator'
INSERT FIRST RECORD (this record and others can be deleted) UID = 1235 UserID='Test User 1'
Groups Table ( GID bigint Identity seeded with 1234 Primary key GroupName varchar(30) NOT NULL UNIQUE )
INSERT FIRST RECORD (this record needs to be protected from deletion) GID = 1234 UserID='Admininstrators'
INSERT SECOND RECORD (this record and others can be deleted) GID = 1235 UserID='Test Group 1'
Group_Members Table ( GID bigint NOT NULL //points to the group's ID and can't be unique UID bigint NOT NULL //points to the members UserID and can't be unique ) INSERT FIRST RECORD (this record needs to be protected from deletion because UID points to the Administrator) GID = 1234 UID = 1234
INSERT SECOND RECORD (this record and others can be deleted because UID does not point to the Administrator.) GID = 1234 UID = 1235
Group_Group_Members Table ( GID bigint NOT NULL //points to the group's ID and can't be unique GGID bigint NOT NULL //points to the group members GID and can't be unique ) INSERT FIRST RECORD (this record needs to be protected from deletion because GGID points to the Administrators Group.) GID = 1234 GGID = 1234
INSERT SECOND RECORD (this record and others can be deleted because GGID does not point to the Administrators Group.) GID = 1234 GGID = 1235
I have tried using foriegn keys, constraints an every thing else, but I hit a brick wall because FK requires the ke to be primary (btw is UNIQUE). Any help would be appreciated.
Hello,I have a foreign key constraint between two tables (Appointments andMissedAppointmentReasons) and I'd like to allow null values in Appointmentstable for the field containing the MissedAppointmentReason, but currently, Iget a Foreign Key Constraint Error when I try to add a record to theAppointments table.Any ideas how I can have the null values but still maintain the Foreign KeyConstraint?Thanks!Rick
I am attempting to create a stored procedure that will launch at report runtime to summarize data in a table into a table that will reflect period data using an array type field. I know how to execute one line but I am not sure how to run the script so that it not only summarizes the data below but also creates and drops the table.
I have a text file which needs to be created into a table (let's call it DataFile table). For now I'm just doing the manual DTS to import the txt into SQL server to create the table, which works. But here's my problem....
I need to extract data from DataFile table, here's my query:
select * from dbo.DataFile where DF_SC_Case_Nbr not like '0000%';
Then I need to create a new table for the extracted data, let's call it ExtractedDataFile. But I don't know how to create a new table and insert the data I selected above into the new one.
Also, can the extraction and the creation of new table be done in just one stored procedure? or is there any other way of doing all this (including the importation of the text file)?
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?

Hi AllWonder if you could help, I have a bog standard table called STOCKPRICESthat has served me well for a while, but now I need to change the structureof it and because a number of users have used it in it's present form I needto so the following in SQL script:a) Grab a snapshot of the current SQL data.b) Re-structure the STOCKPRICES table.c) Post this grabbed data back, but in the new format.My script plan was to firstly to rename the current STOCKPRICES table toSTOCKPRICESOLD (you can do this can't you), create a new STOCKPRICES tablein the new format and then somehow extract the data from STOCKPRICESOLD andsquirt it into STOCKPRICES.The current schema for STOCKPRICES is as follows:# --------------------------------------------------# Table structure for table 'STOCKPRICES'# --------------------------------------------------DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `STOCKPRICES`;CREATE TABLE `STOCKPRICES` (`STOCKID` VARCHAR(30),`CURRENCYID` VARCHAR(30),`HDNETAMOUNT` DECIMAL(10,3) DEFAULT 0,`HDTAXAMOUNT` DECIMAL(10,3) DEFAULT 0,`RRPNETAMOUNT` DECIMAL(10,3) DEFAULT 0,`RRPTAXAMOUNT` DECIMAL(10,3) DEFAULT 0,`NETAMOUNT` DECIMAL(10,3) DEFAULT 0,`TAXAMOUNT` DECIMAL(10,3) DEFAULT 0,INDEX `indxCUURENCYID` (`CURRENCYID`),INDEX `indxSTOCKID` (`STOCKID`));Like I said it's very basic.My new table wants to be like the following:# --------------------------------------------------# Table structure for NEW table 'STOCKPRICES'# --------------------------------------------------DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `STOCKPRICES`;CREATE TABLE `STOCKPRICES` (`STOCKID` VARCHAR(30),`CURRENCYID` VARCHAR(30),`PRICELEVELID` VARCHAR(30),`NETAMOUNT` DECIMAL(10,3) DEFAULT 0,`TAXAMOUNT` DECIMAL(10,3) DEFAULT 0,INDEX `indxPRICELEVELID` (`PRICELEVELID`),INDEX `indxCUURENCYID` (`CURRENCYID`),INDEX `indxSTOCKID` (`STOCKID`));The new re-structure means that PRICELEVELID will include a unique referenceto the HD, RRP, standard prices (plus 3 others that I'm going to create).I know this probably very simple data architecture to you guys, but I'm sureyou can appreciate why I need to change the structure to this method so thatI'm not creating redundant data fields if the user only enters a standardprice I won't be storing nothing for the 2 x HD and 2 x RRP price fields.I don't think I've got a problem renaming the old one and re-creating thenew one, but how do I get the data from one to another?My problem is that I have:code, currency, hdnet, hdtax, rrpnet, rrptax, net, taxIVP GBP 2.00 0.35 200.00 35.00 100.00 17.50etc...and I need to get it into the format:code, currency, pricelevelid, net, taxIVP GBP hd 2.00 0.35IVP GBP rrp 200.00 35.00IVP GBP standard 100.00 17.50etc...Any ideas?RgdsLaphan
I have a column defined as smalldatetime. Default length (4), and "allow NULLS" is checked.In the Enterprise Manager UI, when i enter data into that table row, if i just tab past that column, all is well, and the value is represented in the UI as <NULL>.The problem comes once i ever enter a date into that column. Say i have entered a date (all is well), and now i want to remove that entry and go back to NULL (after the date value has been committed, different entry session, say).How is that done?It seems to me, once a date has ever been entered into that column, now, if i try to remove it, i get the error "The value you entered is not consistant with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit". I have tried deleting the value, entering spaces, entering the string NULL or the string <NULL>; maybe some other tries as well, but none works, i always get that error message and am not allowed to proceed past that cell until i restore a date value to it. I want to get back to <NULL>.Anybody know?Thank you.Tom
I am stuck on finding a solution to transpose source data from a system via a metadata look-up table into a destination table. I need a method to transpose/pivot the source data into columns (which are by various data-types). The datatypes for each column are listed in a metadata table.
Source Data Table:
Table Name: Source

I have SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMS Express) and SQL Server 2005 Express (SS Express) installed in my Windows XP Pro PC that is on Microsoft Windows NT 4 LAN System. My Computer Administrator grants me the Administror Privilege to use my PC. I tried to use SQLQuery.sql (see the code below) to create a table "LabResults" and insert 20 data (values) into the table. I got Error Messages 102 and 156 when I did "Parse" or "Execute". This is my first time to apply the data type 'decimal' and the "VALUES" into the table. I do not know what is wrong with the 'decimal' and how to add the "VALUES": (1) Do I put the precision and scale of the decimal wrong? (2) Do I have to use "GO" after each "VALUES"? Please help and advise.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

I'm trying to insert data into a table from two tables into a single table along with a hard coded value.
insert into TABLE1 (THING,PERSONORGROUP,ACCESSRIGHTS) VALUES ((select SYSTEM_ID from TABLE2 where AUTHOR IN (select SYSTEM_ID from TABLE2 where USER_ID =('USER1'))),(select SYSTEM_ID from TABLE2 where USER_ID =('USER2')),255)
I get the following-
Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
What is the best way to transfer data from the staging table into the main table.
Example: Staging Table Name: TableA_satge (# of rows - millions) Main Table Name: TableA_main (# of rows - billions)
Note: Staging table may have some data same as the main table.
Currently I am doing: - Load data into staging table (TableA_stage) - Remove any duplication of rows from the staging table (TableA_stage) - Disable all indexes on main table (TableA_main) - Insert into main table (TableA_main) from staging table (TableA_stage) - Remove any duplication of rows from the main table using CTE (TableA_main) - Rebuild indexes on main_table (TableA_main)
The problem with the above method is that, it takes a lot of time and log file size grows very big.
I am trying to insert bulk data into main table from staging table in sql server 2012. If any error comes, this total activity is rollbacked. I don't want that to happen. I want to know the records where ever the problem persists, and the rest has to be inserted.
I have two tables that share a common identity row. I need to build a query where data that exists in one table does not contain data in the other table. For example, table 1 has columns of Owner_ID, LastName, FirstName and table 2 has columns Auto_ID, Owner_ID, AutoMake. Both tables are joined by the Owner_ID column. I need a query that provides all owners from table 1 who do not have an entry in table 2.
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.
Here is the scenario, I have 2 stored procedures, SP1 and SP2
SP1 has the following code:
declare @tmp as varchar(300) set @tmp = 'SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET ( ''SQLOLEDB'', ''SERVER=.;Trusted_Connection=yes'', ''SET FMTONLY OFF EXEC ' + db_name() + '..StoredProcedure'' )'
EXEC (@tmp)
SP2 has the following code:
SELECT * FROM SP1 (which won't work because SP1 is a stored procedure. A view, a table valued function, or a temporary table must be used for this)
Views - can't use a view because they don't allow dynamic sql and the db_name() in the OPENROWSET function must be used. Temp Tables - can't use these because it would cause a large hit on system performance due to the frequency SP2 and others like it will be used. Functions - My last resort is to use a table valued function as shown:
FUNCTION MyFunction ( ) RETURNS @retTable ( @Field1 int, @Field2 varchar(50) ) AS BEGIN -- the problem here is that I need to call SP1 and assign it's resulting data into the -- @retTable variable
-- this statement is incorrect, but it's meaning is my goal INSERT @retTableSELECT *FROM SP1
I have a transaction table having about 40 crore rows in source. It don't have timestamp and unique key columns. It have only Bill_month and Bill_Year columns. Actually for loading this table into staging I have added a new datetime column by adding default bill_date as 01. Then
* First we delete last 3 month data from staging tables. * Get last 3 months data from source table. * Load that 3 months data from source to staging table.
We do this because we only get update for last three months data. Now I have to include this transaction table as Fact table in DW. What will be the best practice for loading the fact table by picking data form staging table. Also we have to look up with dimensions for Foreign Keys.
* Should I implement the same method of deleting last 3 months records and loading them again.
