Perform A Query That Will Merge Contents Of Various Table
Aug 27, 2012
I am trying to perform a query in SQL that will merge the contents of various table, using search criteria to narrow down the results. All of the tables have the exact same fields, and the search criteria is the same for all of them. What I am looking for is the most efficient way to perform this. I am using SQL stored procedures, and passing the results into my code. Note that in my real-world scenario there are more than three tables.
1) Merge all the tables into one and then perform the search criteria:
SELECT a, b, c FROM
(SELECT a, b, c FROM Table1
UNION ALL
SELECT a, b, c FROM Table2
UNION ALL
SELECT a, b, c FROM Table3) AS MY_MERGE
WHERE {SEARCH CRITERIA}
2) Perform the search criteria on each table and merge the results
SELECT a, b, c FROM
(SELECT a, b, c FROM Table1 WHERE {SEARCH CRITERIA}
UNION ALL
SELECT a, b, c FROM Table2 WHERE {SEARCH CRITERIA}
UNION ALL
SELECT a, b, c FROM Table3 AS MY_MERGE WHERE {SEARCH CRITERIA})
Using Sql Server 2005 Express and Management Studio I need to create a SQL insert statement for the contents of a table (FullDocuments) so that I can run the query on another server with that same table schema (FullDocuments) and the contents will automatically be inserted into the new instance of the FullDocuments table.In Management Studio I have used "Script Table as" for the create table query. The second instance of FullDocuments has been created on the remote server. Now how do I generate an insert query for the contents of FullDocuments so that the contents can be moved/inserted to the new instance of the table?Thanks for any help provided.
i just can't find a way to perform this Select Query in my ASP.Net page. I just want to find out the sales for a certain period[startDate - endDate] for each Region that will be selected in the checkbox. Table Sales Fields: SalesID | RegionID | Date | Amount This is how the interface looks like.Thank You.
Hi All,I have come up against a wall which i cannot get over.I have an sql db where the date column is set as a varchar (i know, should have used datetime but this was done before my time and i've got to work with what is there). The majority of values are in the format dd/mm/yyyy. However, some values contain the word 'various'.I'm attempting to compare the date chosen on a c# .net page with the values in the db and also return all the 'various' values as well.I have accomplished casting the varchar to a datetime and then comparing to the selected date on the .net page. However, it errors when it comes across the 'various' entrant.Is there anyway to carry out a select statement comparing the start_date values in the db to the selected date on the .net page and also pull out all 'various' entrants at the same time without it erroring? i thought about replacing the 'various' to a date like '01/01/2010' so it doesn't stumble over the none recognised format, but am unsure of how to do it.This is how far i have got: casting the varchar column to datetime and comparing. SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE Cast(SUBSTRING(Start_Date,4,2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(Start_Date,1,2) + '/' +SUBSTRING(Start_Date,7,4) as datetime) '" + date + "'"Many thanks in advance!
I have two tables .. in one (containing user data, lets call it u).The important fields are:u.userName, u.userID (uniqueidentifier) and u.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier)The second table (w) has fieldsw.delegateID (uniqueidentifier), w.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier) The SP takes the delegateID and I want to gather all the people from table u where any of the workgroupID's for that delegate match in w. one delegateID may be tied to multiple workgroupID's. I know I can create a temporary table (@wgs) and do a: INSERT INTO @wgs SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateIDthat creates a result set with all the workgroupID's .. this may be one, none or multipleI then want to get all u.userName, u.userID FROM u WHERE u.workgroupIDThis query works on an individual workgroupID (using another temp table, @users to aggregate the results was my thought, so that's included) INSERT INTO @users SELECT u.userName,u.userID FROM tableU u LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID WHERE u.workgroupID = @workGroupIDI'm trying to avoid looping or using a CURSOR for the performance hit (had to kick the development server after one of the cursor attempts yesterday)Essentially what I'm after is: SELECT u.userName,u.userID FROM tableU u LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID WHERE u.workgroupID = (SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateID) ... but that syntax does not work and I haven't found another work around yet.TIA!
Hi,Can anyone tell me how to select the "most recent" date values from agrouped query? Consider the following:CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TestQuery] ( [ID] [int] NOT NULL , [ID_Parent] [int] NOTNULL , [Date] [datetime] NOT NULL ) ON [PRIMARY]This is a simplified adjacency list. What I want to do is find the highestvalued item by date for each sub-tree. In other words, the single highestdate item when This.ID_Parent = That.ID_Parent. I think I first need togroup by ID_Parent, then select the TOP 1 from this query, but how toaggregate them so I get the TOP 1 for each ID_Parent?Thanks for any help you can give me,Robin
Hi, I am relatively new to this stuff. I am using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express (9.00.1399.00) Can someone tell me the way to get a table and its content to another database (I use two at webhosts4life) Or perhaps a way to export the data of a table so I can do it at a later stage.
Is that at all possible with this program or do I have to use the non-express version?
Hello, Its hard trying to explain this. I have 3 tables Table 1 is where the users are stored, each user has a username and a userrank Table 2 is where the points that decides the userrank are stored Table 3 contains the available userranks like this
Table 1 (user_list) looks briefly like this:username nvarchar(20),userrank int, -- Reference to Table3 id... alot more fields Table 2 (settings_profile) looks like this:username nvarchar(20),total_active_points int,... some more fields Table 3 (data_ranks) looks like this:id int primary key auto inc,rankname nvarchar(20),min_pts int,max_pts int
Points get added to table 2 whenever they do something that generates points on the site. Points also get withdrawn every 7 days, so a user can only collect points for 7 days, on the 8th day, all points he earned on the 1st day is reduced from the current points with this code: WHILE (SELECT @username = username, @id = id, @temp1 = ap_sentmails, @temp2 = ap_createdthreads, @temp3 = ap_createdanswers, @temp4 = ap_signguestbook, @temp5 = ap_blogcomment, @temp6 = ap_createblogentry, @temp7 = ap_profilefirsttime, @temp8 = ap_profilephoto, @temp9 = ap_activateguestbook, @temp10 = ap_addnewfriend, @temp11 = ap_superguruvote, @temp12 = ap_forumtopicvote, @temp13 = ap_labervote, @temp14 = ap_funstuffitemvote, @temp15 = ap_movievote, @temp16 = ap_actorvote, @temp17 = ap_money_new WHERE (created < Dateadd(dd, -7, @todaysdate))BEGINSET @sum = 0SET @sum = @temp1 + @temp2 + @temp3 + @temp4 + @temp5 + @temp6 + @temp7 + @temp8 + @temp9 + @temp10 + @temp11 + @temp12 + @temp13 + @temp14 + @temp15 + @temp16 + @temp17UPDATE settings_profile SET total_active_points = total_active_points - @sum WHERE (username = @username)DELETE FROM konto_daylist WHERE (id = @id)END Now my question is this, i want to loop thru the table A, collect all usernames inside of it, then run it against table b and table c to determine the current rank of the user.Something like this... DECLARE @username nvarchar(20)DECLARE @pts int, @rank int ...something that starts a loop thru table A (user_list) and get the username into @username... SELECT @pts = total_active_points FROM settings_profile WHERE (username = @username)-- Determine the rank here, by compairing the points the user have against the pointstabel in table data_ranksSELECT @rank = id FROM data_ranks WHERE (pts_min => @pts AND pts_max < @pts)UPDATE user_list SET rank = @rank WHERE (username = @username) ...next persion in the loop... This SP runs once a day and will first reduce the points from 8days ago, then it will run thru all the users and determine their new rank... But how do i loop thru all the users? with a cursor?
Can anybody help me with the generation of Table of Contents for a report using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. Let me ellaborate. The scenerio is...i m having a report of lets say 500 pages grouped on employees, showing the performance of each employee between specific date range. Now if the manager prints the report of 500 pages he will be more intersted to jump directly to a perticular employee's page which means my printed report had to have a Table of Contents on my grouped criteria (which in this case is employee number). I would really appriciate if someone can suggest me a solution for this.
Hi all, Lets say that i have 3 tables, they are already related together, information on each of the 3 tables and their relationship between eachother can be found below:I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Database in Visual Web Developer 2008 using VB programming (ADO.NET)The 3 tables are as follows:
FloorRoomLocation
Fields inside each of the tables can be found below:
The Relationships between the 3 tables are as follows:
ID field in Floor table is referenced by the field named FloorID in the Room Table ID field in Floor table is referenced by the field named FloorID in the Location table
NOTE: Location Table serves only as an extension to Floor table thus they have a 1 to 1 relationship, due to My Projects Lead's instructions I am not allowed to consolidate the Floor Table and the Location Table as 1 whole table. Floor Table has a 1 to Many Relationship with the Room Table.
I Have already done the physical relationships between each of the 3 tables in the Database Diagram, in Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition under the Database Explorer
So i have created this form to accept user input:
this form is in a aspx page called AddRooms.aspx
Country Name:______________ (data sent to location table)
City Name:_________________ (data sent to location table)
Building Name:______________ (data sent to location table)
FloorID:[This is a DropDownList which is databinded to the Floor Table]
Room Name:_______________ (data sent to room table)
*Just imagine that the above is a form to accept user input
*With a hit of a submit button all data will be sent to their respective tables in the database
Now i know that i have to JOIN tables in my database in order for my application to work, but i have no experience performing JOIN, i need great guys like you to help me apply JOIN to the 3 tables mentioned above, do let me know if you have any doubts in what i am trying to do.
Do give me that code that i can either apply in the (VB environment Visual Web Developer 2008) and/or in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 environment
Just need the SQL Statment that i will need to construct to perform the JOIN i need to.
Thanks in advance for taking the tiemt o read this post:

I'm copying date from a sql server 2000 table to a sql server 2008 R2 table using a Linked Server.I need to be sure the remote table is correct before processing it.I first delete all the remote table contents and after that, I insert into remote_table from local_tableWhat happens if the communication is interrupted during the insert?I mean, Can I be sure all records were copied just checking if record count > 0 ?
An application uses a database table having proprietary information. We do not want our customer to be able to look at that. This being a real-time application, performance can not be sacrificed. What is the best way to keep the table data non-viewable without sacrificing the performance?
Hi there. Does anyone know of a why to perform several operations on a table within only 1 ALTER TABLE statement? I haven't found anything to date and don't even know if it's possible.
Hello, I need some help, I am in school right now and I am in a SQL server class. We have been working in the query analizer making a database. Well I have to print out everything that I have typed. But I want to view it first. How do I do that?

I am using MSSQL 2000 and trying to debug a stored procedure that has a #temp table in it. I am using the .NET SQL debugger and I would like to display or view the contents of the #temp table while debugging. Does anyone know how to do this?
I have a large table containing about 800 million rows with an average row length of about 1K. The columns in the table are char columns. I need to move the contents of this table into a similar table where the target columns are varchar. The original table column definitions are compatible with the target table but the reverse is not necessarily true. For example, one column is being changed from int to bigint. The table is partitioned.
So, what is the fastest way to migrate the data. I was thinking to unload each partition into a flat file and load the target table running multiple load streams? Is this a good way?
I have a real table with an identity column and a trigger to populate this column.
I need to import / massage data for data loads from a different format, so I have a temp table defined that contains only the columns that are represented in the data file so I can bulk insert.
I then alter this table to add all the other columns so that it reflects all the columns in the real table. I then populate all the values so that this contains the data I need.
I then want to insert into the real table pushing the data from the temp table, however this gives me errors stating that the query returned multiple rows.
I specified all the columns in the insert grouping as well as on the select from the temp table.
ANY thoughts / comments are appreciated. This is beginning to drive me nuts.
If I have a table with three fields (A, B, C) and 'A' is a primary key, 'B' and 'C' do not have any content and another table with the same number of fields contains the same fields(A, B, C) and the fields do contain data.
I want to populate the first table with the data from the second table where the primary key 'A' is equal.
I want with PowerPivot to tell what stage is in progress for project. I looked at RElatedTable, LOOKUPVALUES, but I can't find a way to associate this to get working. I got however the one telling me which projects are Completed.
I am trying to run an update statement against a vendor's database that houses HR information. If I run a regular select statement against the database with the following query, it returns without error:

I am assuming I am receiving this error because it doesn't know where to find QUDDAT-INT? How can I fix that?
The "QUDDAT-INT" column houses the employee number. So in the case of the SELECT query above, I am testing against a specific employee number.

Dear All - iam facing a problem for passing a parameter to update paradox table statment in the OLE DB Command
Briefly an OLE DB Command exist between OLE DB Source and OLE DB destination , all i want it to send the data that flow from the OLE DB Source to the update paradox table statment in OLE DB Command ,
i use the parameter annotation which is "?" to refer to the parameter in the update where clause and it sucess when i use the OLE DB Command to connect to SQL Server DB but when i use it with the Paradox Table an error appear saying that there is more than one data source column with the name "?" The data source column names must be unique.
i dont know what that means is it means that "?" it consider "?" as a column or what or is there another way to send parameter to Update statment for the paradox table differ from the SQL Server Update statment which is the "? "
i hope someone help me as soon as possible because i need it in work sOOon Thanks, Maylo
I'm trying to load data from old SQL server 2000 to new SQL server 2014. I need to do a checksum to check if all the source data is loaded in the target database(SQL server 2014). I've created the insert statement for the same which works. I need to use checksum to make sure all the source rows are loaded in the target table. I haven't done checksum before.
Here is my insert statement:
INSERT INTO [Test].[dbo].[Order_tab] ([rec_id] ,[date_loaded] ,[Name1] ,[Name2] ,[Address1] ,[Address2]
