How to check if a record is already in the database I want to import to before importing?
My table have 2 primary key, and the DTS is suppose to be schedule to run every night, though it can be run whenever a user want to get the most updated data.
Consider this scenario.
I have two database in the sql server and consider that i have a query which has 4 tables inner joined.
When i execute the query in the database1 , the query is returning rows, But when i execute the same query in the database2, the query is not retuning rows . I know that the
no rows are returned because of missing data in the database2. But have no idea how to trace what values are missing in the database2. Please note the tables is having a huge
list of records by which manually comparison is painfull. Please consider i dont have any background idea of the values in the tables but just using it. Any help would be
appericated.
Hello,I created the following SQL script to check if a record exists:IF (EXISTS (SELECT LevelName FROM dbo.by27_Levels WHERE LOWER(@LevelName) = LOWER(LevelName))) Return (1)ELSE Return (0)And I also found in a web page another solution:IF EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM TABLENAME WHERE LevelName=@LevelName) SELECT 1ELSE SELECT 0- Which approach should I use?- Why "SELECT 1 FROM"?- And when should I use SELECT or RETURN?All I need is to know if the record exists ... nothing else.I will use this procedure on an ASP.NET 2.0 / C# web site.I am not sure if this important but anyway ...Thank You,Miguel

I was wondering if someone can help.
In vb.net what is the best way to check if a record exists if you are using an sql data reader?
For my application I need to display a button control (make it visible on the page) if a record is available after executing my sql select statement.
cheers

Any sample will be helpful

,I am creating a database where each record is required to have a twin record in the database.These is a type a value and a type b value and both must be present for the record to be valid.
Customer_ID, Order_Type, Product_Code
54, a, 00345
54, b, 00356
Is this something that would have to be done programmatically, or is it possible to create a constraint of some sort to ensure this?
Hi,
Can someone please tell me the best practices for checking the primary key field before inserting a record into my database?
As an example I have created an asp.net page using VB with an SQL server database. The web page will just insert two fields into a table (Name & Surname into the Names table). The primary key or the Names table is "Name". When I click the Submit button I would like to check to ensure there is not a duplicate primary key. If there is return a user friendly message i.e. A record already exisits, if there no duplicate, add the record.
I guess I could use try, catch within the .APSX page or would a stored procedure be better?
Thanks

Hi all,
I wanted to check the previous and next record values.
For example:
sKey NextKey PreviousKey
1 2 Null
2 8 1
8 5 2
5 null 8
I wanted to check the value of NextKey of Prev record and Skey of Next record.
Any idea?

Hi all,
I wanted to check the previous and next record values.
For example:
sKey NextKey PreviousKey
1 2 Null
2 8 1
8 5 2
5 null 8
Ex : In the first record of the table, the NextKey is pointing to 2.
So the next record of Skey will be 2. The Next Key for this record is 8. Like wise the next record of this should have the Skey as 8.
Now I need to check whether the NextKey and SKey are correct for all rows.
For that I need to check the previous record of "Next key" and next record of "Skey".
Any idea?

I am using the tables created by the aspnet_regsql.exe tool for security. Basically, I need to ensure that an account named Administrator is never deleted. I also have a role named administrator, and I need to make sure that Administrator is never removed from the administrator role.Can I create a trigger to ensure that the Administrator is never deleted and that the Administrator is never removed from the Administrator role? I know it will probably be two separate triggers: one on the aspnet_users table and one on the aspnet_usersinroles table.Thanks a lot for the help!

I want to make a ssis package that (in order):
- check in table (tbl_orders) if there is any new order made
- if new order is made, update column (time_last_change)
- if this order has geography ID (ID_geography) inserted, insert name of geography.
Thank you in advance,
Hi all,I am dealing with a very large database, and as soon as a record issubmitted I need to run a full-text query against it. I believe itmight take a while before the record is fully indexed and thereforewould not return a result.How can I check whether the record in question is already indexed, ifat all?This is MS SQL 2005Thanks in advance..
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am looking for the best way to check to see if any columns are still NULL in a record. I have a form that gets filled out by users and the values entered into TableA. There are 6 columns in the table, 5 are responses and column6 indicates if the record is complete. So I want a way to see if all of the first 5 columns are NOT NULL and, if so, mark column6 with a 1.
I am thinking this would be a good thing for a trigger on INSERT or UPDATE to check to see if the first 5 columns are filled in and then mark the record as complete.

Before allowing my Data Flow task to fire, I'd like to check the target table (OLE DB Destination) for a specific date value in a specific field. I've seen how the Lookup Task is commonly used to check for dupes before inserting, but I'm not able to use that method because the data value I want to search the table for is contained in a Global Variable (let's say "MyVariableDate").
Is there any way to check for any records in a target table where Date1 = MyVariableDate (i.e. scanning the entire table for any occurrence of MyVariableDate in the Date1 field)?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAs a newbie, I'm having problems importing a copy of my SQLServer2k development database from my laptop (via a CD), to my production SQL Server2k database.
I've tried the DTS Import/Export wizard & also the Copy wizard, but can't seem to see the dialog that prompts & identifies the source path & filename.
I've tried setting up an ODBC DSN for the database, but get the same problem.
Coming from an Access background, I've been used to the copying of *.mdb files, and half expected that level of simplicity with SQLS2K - but clearly, I'm wrong and am missing something, which the on-line help isn't able to clarify for me...
Can anyone please give me any pointers for me to get a copy of my development database along with its stored procedures, from my laptop (not networked), to my desktop server. Both use SQLS2k.
Thanks in advance, Alex

Hello Everyone,
I would like to import a text file which contains one string (a large integer) per line not separated by commas or anything else except a carriage return. Does anyone know of an easy way to store this in a database file? I'm open to suggestions if there is more than one way to save this kind of information within a database. I have SQL server 2005 developer edition if that helps in any way. I'm also starting to learn about Linq so if there is some other way you would store this information for that purpose I would love to hear about that as well. C# code is preferable, but I can use the automatic translators if that's all you have. By the way, I'm a newbie to this subject (if you couldn't tell). Thanks in advance.

However I'm not sure what to do, I have been given a .db and .log . but SQL server doesn't like either of these, is their something I should do to make it compatable? First tie I've ever look at Sysserver so please use short words, Thanks Ed
Hi,
I need to import data from excel to sql database. I have an excel that has a column called dept_name that is a string.
In the database I have a table called tb_depts with the following columns:
dept_id int, identity
dept_name nvarchar (200)
In addition I have another table called tb_extUsers with the following columns:
user_id int, identity
user_name nvarchar (200)
dept_id int
I need to import the excel into the table tb_extUsers however my problem is that the value in excel is the name of the department and not the department id and the column in tb_extUsers requires the id.
How can i insert the correct dept_id into tb_extUsers ?
Can someone please assist me?
Thanks

Hey guys,I am trying to import data from an Excel spreadsheet into my SQLdatabase. I am running SQL 2005.I following Microsoft's instructions for creating a linked server, andit appeared to work. However when I run this query:SELECT * INTO test FROM OPENQUERY(EFORMS,'SELECT * FROM [Form Tracker Baseline$]')I get the following error:The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server"EFORMS" reported an error. The provider did not give any informationabout the error.Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider"Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "EFORMS".Test is the table that will receive the imported data. Eforms is thename of my linked server, and Form Tracker Baseline is the worksheetname.The error sounds like it can not locate my spreadsheet. Any ideas whyI am getting this message? Is there an easier way to do this import?Thanks,
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi, I am very new to ssis, I am trying to set up a package that I can set to run every hour or so, what it will do is look for all excel files in a certain folder and import them into a table on an sql server.
I managed to get it working but my problem is that my data is survey answers and some columns contain a comment.
I get these files on a weekly basis and some weeks the length of the longest comment makes ssis want to use a different data type for the comment column (sometimes it wants DT_NTEXT, other times it wants DT_WSTR).
as this column is filled out by a human I guess aposrtophies and other characters may affext this as well.
when I made the data flow task, I used the wizard on a file which contained about 8 weeks worth of data. when I use 1 weeks worth of data where the comment length is very low, the task gives a validation error saying the metadata is out of sync. if I go back and set the data type for that column to DT_WSTR and rerun the task, it works but then when it tries to process a different weeks worth of data it will fail again
here is an example of an error I get when it thinks the data type is wrong.
[Source - 'raw data$' [1]] Error: The output column "Question ID50# (Verbatim)" (439) on the error output has properties that do not match the properties of its corresponding data source column.
I played around with the data types for a while and managed to get it to process the first file and then try to process the secondfile, in the second file it got around the validation but then got this error:
[Source - 'raw data$' [1]] Error: Failed to retrieve long data for column "Question ID3# (Verbatim)".
is there a way to make it recalculate the data types by itself for each excel file?
I am stuck trying to figure this one out.
sorry if I havent provided enough information, I am not sure which direction to head with this
This may be a simple question with an obvious answer, but I'm fairly new to databases and I can't seem to find the right procedure.
I created a database on my machine. If I want to copy the information from this database (columns, tables, and entries specifically) from my machine to another SQL server on a different machine, what is the best way to do this without manually re-entering all of the information?
Is there a simple export/import of a database for transferring it from one server to another?
Thanks,
