IF NOT EXISTS (... - EXISTS TABLE : Nested Iteration. Table Scan.Forward Scan.

Sep 20, 2006

Hi,

This is on Sybase but I'm guessing that the same situation would happen on SQL Server. (Please confirm if you know).

I'm looking at these new databases and I'm seeing code similar to this all over the place:

if not exists (select 1 from dbo.t1 where f1 = @p1)
begin
select @errno = @errno | 1
end

There's a unique clustered in dex on t1.f1.

The execution plan shows this for this statement:

FROM TABLE
dbo.t1
EXISTS TABLE : nested iteration.
Table Scan.
Forward scan.
Positioning at start of table.

It's not using my index!!!!!

It seems to be the case with EXISTS statements. Can anybody confirm?

I also hinted to use the index but it still didn't use it.

If the existence check really doesn't use the index, what's a good code alternative to this check?

I did this and it's working great but I wonder if there's a better alternative. I don't really like doing the SET ROWCOUNT 1 and then SET ROWCOUNT 0 thing. SELECT TOP 1 won't work on Sybase, :-(.

SET ROWCOUNT 1
SELECT @cnt = (SELECT 1 FROM dbo.t1 (index ix01)
WHERE f1 = @p1
)
SET ROWCOUNT 0

Appreciate your help.

Transact SQL :: If Not Exists Some ID In One Table Then Insert ID And Description In Another Table

Jul 14, 2015

I need to find out if a Transaction ID exists in Table A that does not exist in Table B.  If that is the case, then I need to insert into Table B all of the Transaction IDs and Descriptions that are not already in. Seems to me this would involve If Not Exists and then an insert into Table B.  This would work easily if there were only one row.  What is the best way to handle it if there are a bunch of rows?  Should there be some type of looping?

Temp Table Exists

Sep 14, 2000

What is the best way to programmatically determine if a temp table exists? In 6.5, I would use

IF EXISTS(SELECT * from tempdb..sysobjects where id = object_id('tempdb..#MyTable') and type = 'U')

But now that it is strongly discouraged to code against system tables, how could I re-write this statement?

The proper way to check the existence of a table would be:

IF OBJECTPROPERTY(object_id('tablename'), 'IsTable') = 1

However, to get this to run for a temp table, I think you'd have to change the database context to tempdb and then back to your database. That doesn't seem efficient.

I could use

IF object_id('tempdb..#MyTable') IS NOT NULL

But that's not guarenteeing that it's a table, right?

Any ideas?

Hi,

This my first time using the link server to read the files directly from within SQL2005, so issues the following link:-

EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = N'MYVFPSERVER', -- Your linked server name here
@srvproduct=N'Visual FoxPro 9', -- can be anything
@provider=N'VFPOLEDB',
@datasrc=N'"C:PROGRAM FILESMICROSOFT VISUAL FOXPRO 9Samplesdata estdata.dbc"'

After that i can open query and do the import issues, but how can check if the table exists before issues the query.

Best regards

How To Check If A Single Value Exists In A Table

Sep 14, 2006

What’s the easiest way to check if a single value exists in a table column?  I’m building a simple login page, and I want to get the username and check if it exists in my Users table. Here’s my SQL: SELECT UserID FROM UsersWHERE UserID = "admin" Could someone give me code to check for “admin” in my UserID column?    Here’s some code I tried, using my SqlDataSource, but it returns an error “Could not load type 'System.Data.OleDb'”     protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)    {        // Retreive the results from the SqlDataSource as a DataReader        OleDbDataReader reader = (OleDbDataReader)              SqlDataSource1.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty);         // Read in the value        if (reader.Read())        {             }                     // Close the reader        reader.Close();             } I don’t have to use the SqlDataSource, but originally thought it might be easier. I know how to use SqlDataSource to fill a whole GridView but this is different.

Checking A Table To See If A Record Already Exists

Sep 19, 2007

I've got two tables, one containing a list of company names(approx 10,000 records), the other containing a list of company employees (approx 30,000 records) joined by the CompanyID column.

I have a third table (approx 700 records) containing new employees to be added to the employee table. Each record in this table has the employees details plus the name of their company.

I want to write a query that will check each row in the third table to see if
a) the employee exists in the Employees table
b) the company exists in the Companies table and
c) the employee is listed under the correct company

The query should also handle any combination of the above. So if the company doesn't exist but the employee does, create the company on the companies table and update the appropriate record on the employees table with the new CompanyID etc. etc.

Oh, forgot to mention. The company names in the third table won't be exactly the same as the ones in the Company table so will need to use CharIndex.

Anybody got any ideas?

How To Get Prices From Table Where Date Not Exists

Feb 17, 2013

I have 2 test tables one for stock and one for prices.

Dynamically Check If A Table Exists

Apr 10, 2008

Hi there,
I want to create an SQL Function that checks if a table exists and returns true or false. I will pass this function a paramter (say @COMPANYID) e.g.

if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[tblmyTableName_' + @COMPANYID) and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)

how would I write this so the query is dynamically executed and I can get a value of true or false back?

##temp Table Already Exists Problem

Jul 23, 2005

HelloI am using a temp table called ##temp in an SProc but often get themessage that the table already exists. Could this be because the SProcis being run by more than 2 webpages at the same time?Or is it because the sProc has an error and is not getting to the droptable line?I have tried adding a line to test if the object exists and to drop thetable before I create it. If I drop it will it affect another instanceof the sProc that is using the same table name?If so is there a way around this?Many thanksNigel

MDF File Still Exists After DROP TABLE

Nov 5, 2005

Hello,Using Enterprise Manager, I deleted from my database the only tablethat contained records (Right-Click on Table, Choose "Delete Table").My expectation was that the LARGE .mdf file would be reduced to minimalsize (at least as small as the Northwind MDF). However, it's still 4+Gig in size!! (Northwind is 2.62 MB). This is a problem, bc I deletedthe table in order to recapture hard drive space.NOTE: I already tried using Shrink Database in EM. This significantlyreduced the size of the .mdf file from its original (i.e. pre-delete)size of 38 Gig to present size of 4 Gig.What can I do to further reduce the size of the MDF file?Thank you.

Check If Temporary Table Exists

Oct 5, 2006

Hello.



How can I check if a temporary table exists in the current context?



With normal tables I'd do a

EXISTS ( SELECT name FROM sysobjects

WHERE name='myTableName' AND type='U')

However, I can't do that with a temporary table. I'd have to go look at the sysobjects table in the tempdb database.



The problem is that for temporary tables, a suffix is added to the name to make it unique for each scope. I can't change the WHERE clause to name LIKE 'myTableName%' because this would return true if a temporary table with the same name exists in a different scope.



Any ideas?

How To Check If A Temporary Table Exists?

Apr 29, 2008

I apologize if this has been asked, and answered, before. I wasn't able to find relevant posts on the forum. A Google search pointed me to a couple of pages that offered this simple recipe:

if object_id('#temp') is not null

print 'table exists';


(I have also tried 'tempdb.#temp', and 'object_id(..,'U'))

Unfortunately, this doesn't work: the condition evaluates to 'false'. #temp is alive and well: strying to 'select .. into' it raises error


> There is already an object named '#temp' in the database.

SQL - Insert Into Table Where Not Exists In Another Table

Mar 15, 2007

I am getting info from one table, CalibrationReview, that is not inanother table, tblEquipments.
SELECT EquipmentNumber, Model, SerialNumber, Make, CalLabName, CalDateFROM CalibrationReviewWHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT AssignedID FROM tblEquipments WHERE AssignedID = CalibrationReview.EquipmentNumber)
Now, I need to take these rows and INSERT them into tblEquipments,but with some conditions.
tblEquipments has some contraints, so, the following needs to be done:
Using dbo.CalibrationReview.EquipmentNumber, get CalibrationMaster.TestTechnology where dbo.CalibrationReview.EquipmentNumber = dbo.CalibrationMaster.EquipmentID
Then take CalibrationMaster.TestTechnology and read tblTestTechnology.testTechnology and get tblTestTechnology.id
So,
tblEquipments.testTechnology = tblTestTechnology.id OR 1 if not foundWHERE dbo.CalibrationReview.EquipmentNumber = dbo.CalibrationMaster.EquipmentID and CalibrationMaster.TestTechnology = tblTestTechnology.testTechnology
And similar for CalibrationReview.CalLabName.
tblEquipments.calLab = tblLabs.ID where tblLabs.LabName = CalibrationReview.CalLabName
I hope this is clear as I can write this in code behind, but it'smuch better using sql simply because it's faster and only needs tobe run once.
Inheriting databases and combining all of them to develop a large.Net management system is fun, huh?
Thanks for any input,
Zath
