Hello,
I have a survey (30 questions) application in a SQL server db. The application uses several relational tables. The results are arranged so that each answer is on a seperate row:
user1 answer1user1 answer2user1 answer3user2 answer1user2 answer2user2 answer3
For statistical analysis I need to transfer the results to an Excel spreadsheet (for later use in SPSS). In the spreadsheet I need the results to appear so that each user will be on a single row with all of that user's answers on that single row (A column for each answer):
user1 answer1 answer2 answer3user2 answer1 answer2 answer3
How can this be done? How can all answers of a user appear on a single row
Thanx,Danny.
I managed to transpose rows into columns.
;WITH
ctePreAgg AS
(
select top 500 act_reference "ActivityRef",
row_number() over (partition by act_reference order by act_reference) as rowno,
t3.s_initials "Initials"
from mytablestuff
order by act_reference
[code]...
But what I would love to do next is take each of the above rows - and return the initials either in one column with all the nulls and duplicate values removed, separated by a comma ..
ref, initials
Ag-4xYS
Ag-6xYS,BL
Ap-1xKW
At-2x SAS,CW
At-3x SAS,CW
OR the above but using variable number of columns based on the maximum number of different initials for each row.this is not strictly required, but maybe neater for further work on the view
ref, init1,init2
Ag-4xYS
Ag-6xYS,BL
Ap-1xKW
At-2x SAS,CW
At-3x SAS,CW
I have a report which is a list of items and I display everything about the item. It is great. My report table in the layout tab is simple. Header,Detail,Footer. Each Item has 65 columns. The number of items (rows) vary upon what you want to see. Example data.
Item#, Description, CaseSalePrice, Cost, BottleSalePrice, Discount
123, Grenadine, 100.00, 75.00, 15.50, 2.00
456, Lime Juice, 120.00, 81.00, 17.25, 2.00
There could be 1 item or 4000 items.
What I want to see is.
Item # - 123, 456
Description - Grenadine, Lime Juice
CaseSalePrice - 100.00, 120.00
Cost - 75.00, 81.00
BottleSalePrice - 15.50, 17.25
Discount - 2.00, 2.00
What I am actually doing is running this the top example and saving to excel. Then copying the sheet. Creating a new sheet then doing a paste special transpose and this gives the users what they want to see.
I want to grab that table object in the report layout tab and twist it 90degrees so the header is on the left, detail is in the middle and the footer is on the right. It would be perfect.
The dynamic column need is really the problem here. I never know how many items will be in the report. They all have the same basic information like description and pricing.
I am all out of creative ideas, any help would be appreciated.
I am using a DTS to copy columns from one database to another.
How do I do the same thing, but first check if the data alreday exists in the destination table and then only copy if it doesn't exist?
thanks in Advance

At first I have to apologize that I write here. This is not right place for my problem but I could not find any better place to ask help.
I'm creating a new table and I have to copy some columns from the old one to the new. Desciption of the old table is something like that:
Table1: name char(32) not null primary key, variable1 char(32), variable2 char(32).
Now I would like to copy columns variable1 and variable2 to the new table (called Table2). I need to change the names to the id-numbers. (Don't ask me why, I just have to :) I have created Table2. Table2: id int not null primary key, newvariable1 char(32), newvariable2 char(32).
Now the problem is that how can I copy just columns variable1 and 2 without the name-column (witch is the primary key)? I just an error message:
DB21034E The command was processed as an SQL statement because it was not a valid Command Line Processor command. During SQL processing it returned:
SQL0407N Assignment of a NULL value to a NOT NULL column "TBSPACEID=2,
TABLEID=578, COLNO=0" is not allowed. SQLSTATE=23502
It just says that (if I understood the message) I can't leave the id-column blank. How can I generate the keys to Table2? It would be nice to get keys from 1,2,3...
Please help me. :)
Hi to all.
I have a starnge question but i need to work out the situation that I'll describe here:
i need to replicate one row in my table to the same table but with small changes in some fileds. I mean - copy the row and to insert it again to the same table, that I copy it from, with changes in fields values.
Do you know any way i can to this - temporary table/ store procedure and so on... BUT in one shot - one action for the select and insert and update operations.
Thanks

I have 1 table in my db that I have imported from a txt file using DTS.
In my database "DOJ" I have a table named "DOJGRAB" with ALL my data fresh from a import using DTS.
Also in "DOJ" are 6 other tables (NAME, PERSON, etc...)
How can I parse the columns out from my DOJGRAB table to fill existing columns in my other 6 tables? Basically a copy of specific columns from DOJGRAB to their proper places in the other tables.
Can somebody post an example of the syntax I would use to copy a column from one table to another? Thanks!

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to create a performant script to copy records from a table in a source database, to an identical table in a destination database.
In SQL 2000, I used to create a little lookup which did a count using certain fields. If the record was missing, I executed an INSERT query, otherwise an UPDATE query. The result was that the table on the destination side was always up to date. Duplicate rows were out of the question.
This was, if I'm not mistaking, a Data Transformation, using a bit of custom VBA code to govern the transfer. For each source row, the custom code was executed. Depending on the result of the custom code, a different query was launched.
Now I'm trying to do the same using SSIS in SQL 2005. Is there a task which does this for me, or do I have to script again? In the latter case, which type of task would I use?
(I thought of the Script Task, but then I would need to set up quite a bit myself.)
Thank you,
Bram
I would like to dynamically copy a table in Transact SQL, like this:
SELECT * into NEW_TABLE from MY_TABLE where 1 = 2
This creates an empty NEW_TABLE as desired. However, NEW_TABLE retains the column nullability of MY_TABLE; I would like NEW_TABLE to have all its columns nullable.
I tried to write Transact SQL logic to update the isnullable column in syscolumns for NEW_TABLE, but was told that the entire SQL Server would have to be reconfigured to allow this.
Does anyone know of another way to do this?
Hello,I have 2 tables, Table1 and Table2. I have copied all data from Table1to Table2.However Table1 is dynamic it has new rows added and some old rowsmodified everyday or every other day...How can I continue to keep Table2 up to date without always having tocopy everything from Table1?Basically from now on I would only like to copy new rows or modifiedrows in Table1 to Table2 and skip rows that are already present andhave not been modified in Table1. I would like to not do anything forany rows that were removed in Table1 and continue to keep a copy ofthem in Table2.Is using a DTS package the best way to automate this update of Table2to make sure Table2 is always up-to-date with Table1?Thanks for any help or advise :-)Yas

I am trying to Import data into SQL server 2008 using management studio. The source data is an Access dbase. I am trying to do this with queries as the tables do not match but I do need to copy specific columns for the source to the destination. Any brief example selecting a column from the source table, and just entering a dummy value for other columns(other column of data for destination table does not exist in source table).
For the example
Source access dbase, just two columns but no primary key, T2dbase, Employee
New table.
First Name, Description
Tom , manager
Destination dbase SQLServer (T1dbase,Employee table), note 4 columns
Primary key NameID, FirstName nvarchar (20), LastName nvarchar (20), Description nvarchar(20)
My Question: Does anyone know of a decent way (i.e. I do not want to loop to insert each row and check the SCOPE_IDENTITY() field or anything like that) to copy parent/child rows to their same respective table besides using the method I have listed below (my manager does not really like the idea of the "PreviousID" field)? More details are listed below.
My Table Situation: I have a parent table and a child table. Both tables have an identity column as the primary key. The relationship between the tables is established using the parent table's primary key to the column in the child table that stores the relationship. The identity column in both tables is the only column that is unique in the tables.
Sample Data (made up and simplified for visualization purposes):
ParentTable - "Items"
ID ItemCategory Price
1,T-Shirt,$20
2,Blue Jeans,$50
3,T-Shirt,$40
ChildTable - "Components
ID ItemID Component
1,1,Fabric
2,1,ScreenPrinting
3,2,Fabric
4,2,Zipper
5,3,ThickFabric
6,3,ScreenPrinting
7,3,Elastic
My Need: I need to make a copy of the records (keeping the parent/child relationship intact) to the same table as the source records. For example, in my data example above, I may need to make a copy of all the "T-Shirt" items and their child records. As the parent records are copied, they will be assigned new keys since the primary key is an identity. Obviously, this new key needs to be used when creating the child records, but I need to somehow associate this new key to the new child records.
Possible Solution: I know this can be achieved by adding another column to the parent table to store the "PreviousID" (INT NULL). Using this new field, when I want to copy the "T-Shirt" items, I would insert the new records and store the ID of source records (i.e. the identity value of the row that was copioed would be stored in this "PreviousID" field). Once the parent record has been copied, I could then insert the child records, and I could join on the "PreviousID" field to get to the new ID to use for inserting the copies of the child records.
Thanks for reading this and for any help offered.

hi,I'm building a multi-lingual website In my database tables I have, in some of them, a column with the Language, because some of the columns depend on what language the user wants to see the site.My question is: what is better? have that column and consequently two row (for two languages) with repeated column information? or have two column within a row with the language specification?e.g. table: id, description, price(1) With language:id,description, price, language='EX' id,description, price, language='EN' vs.(2) id, descriptionEN,descriptionEX,price if I have 500 products in 1 whould result in 1000 entriesin 2 just 500 results can anyone tell me a diference/advantage between the two approachs?thanks in advance.

I am using SQL 2008. I have a database called ISCmetrics and a table called Meeting, the table meeting has 5 columns id
( int),TEAMNAME (varchar),DATECOMPLETE (varchar),STATUSNAME (varchar),STATUSLEVEL (varchar)
We have around 20 different team names , and every team enters data into the database every day, and we have around 7 Different STATUSNAME they are always the same , the STATUSLEVEL is always a 1 or a 0 , so TEAMA enters a value every day for each of the 7 STATUSNAME, and the value is either a 1 or a 0 .
The output for a Select * from ISCMetricslooks like this
id TEAMNAME DATECOMPLETE STATUSNAME STATUSLEVEL

Afternoon
I am trying to write a query that will return the columns: year/ month, each status type (unknown how many types there are)
Each row is a different join year/ month
Each cell has the count of users that joined in that rows year/ month and currently have the status of the column.
At the moment I have the following query:
SELECT [remortgage-status].status, COUNT(1) AS CountTotal, YEAR([remortgage-log].datetime) AS Year, MONTH([remortgage-log].datetime) AS month FROM [remortgage-status] INNER JOIN [remortgage-log] ON [remortgage-status].clientid = [remortgage-log].clientid WHERE ([remortgage-log].action = N'Joined') GROUP BY [remortgage-status].status, YEAR([remortgage-log].datetime), MONTH([remortgage-log].datetime)
The problem is that each different status is a new row rather than each status being a column.
What do I need to do to correct this? - I dont know all the different possible statuses at this point

How to achieve this?
I am trying to achieve this using Pivot, but it is aggregating.
I have a large amount of data in an XML file. The file is very simple. Off of the root node are category nodes and each category node has many detail nodes. The detail node consist of the node name and the node value. Rather than map the detail to matching named fields in a single record, I would like to send the detail node data to individual data records where the category code, node name and node value are the only fields in the record. For example,
Starting with
<Category>
<Code>001</Code
<Details>
<DetailCode123>75.87</DetailCode123>
<DetailCode728>12.98</DetailCode728>
<DetailCode387>55.72</DetailCode387>
</Details>
</Category>
I want to be able to pick up the 001 code for the category and then transform the above data into 3 separate table records with the following fields (CatCode, DetailCodeName, DetailValue).
001, DetailCode123, 75.84
001, DetailCode728, 12.98
001, DetailCode387, 5572
Does this sort of transform exist? If not, I will have generate my own parsing script. Thought it was worth asking before doing the additional work.
Thanks
