Select * Into VS Create Table
Nov 27, 2001
We use sql server 6.5 with service pack 5A.
What are the differences between "select * into" and "Create TABLE". I know
that select * into creates the table in the background and populates the
data from the old table. What I want to know is
1.Are there any benefits in doing a certain way?
2. Are there any risks?
We have a "select * into" query in our code that created problems INTERMITTENTLY
and we are replacing it with "create table" command. We are not sure if
that is going to fix the problem.

For reasons that are not relevant (though I explain them below *), Iwant, for all my users whatever privelige level, an SP which createsand inserts into a temporary table and then another SP which reads anddrops the same temporary table.My users are not able to create dbo tables (eg dbo.tblTest), but arepermitted to create tables under their own user (eg MyUser.tblTest). Ihave found that I can achieve my aim by using code like this . . .SET @SQL = 'CREATE TABLE ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstIDDATETIME)'EXEC (@SQL)SET @SQL = 'INSERT INTO ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())'EXEC (@SQL)This becomes exceptionally cumbersome for the complex INSERT & SELECTcode. I'm looking for a simpler way.Simplified down, I am looking for something like this . . .CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestInsert ASCREATE TABLE tblTest(tstID DATETIME)INSERT INTO tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())GOCREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestSelect ASSELECT * FROM tblTestDROP TABLE tblTestIn the above example, if the SPs are owned by dbo (as above), CREATETABLE & DROP TABLE use MyUser.tblTest while INSERT & SELECT usedbo.tblTest.If the SPs are owned by the user (eg MyUser.TestInsert), it workscorrectly (MyUser.tblTest is used throughout) but I would have to havea pair of SPs for each user.* I have MS Access ADP front end linked to a SQL Server database. Forreports with complex datasets, it times out. Therefore it suit mypurposes to create a temporary table first and then to open the reportbased on that temporary table.

I'm currently working on a web frontend which was designed for mysql but is being moved over to mssql.
The current system uses a select query to create a table:
Code:
CREATE TABLE newtable AS SELECT afield FROM atable
This doesn't seem to work in mssql.
Is there an equivilant in mssql which can be used?

Hi,
I wanted to know a query which will create a final result table from a combination of select queries.
The select query is like :
1. select col1 , col2 , null from table1
2. select null , col2 , null from table2
3. select null , null , col3 from table 3.
null are inserted as i wanted a single select query which will merge all the columns from all the tables and finally create a result table.
Thanks in advance.

I have two db-tables:
"TAB01" with structure:
CREATE TABLE TAB01 (
ID int NOT NULL,
Name varchar(64) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (ID)
)
It contains only name of some object.And "TAB02" with structure:
CREATE TABLE TAB02 (
ID int NOT NULL,
TAB01_ID int NOT NULL,
PositionA int,
PositionB int,
StringVal varchar(32) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (ID)
)
which contains following data:
ID|TAB01_ID|PositionA|PositionB|StringVal|
1|1|1|1|A|
2|1|1|2|B|
3|1|1|3|C|
[code].....
and I need to find a sequence of values in column "StringVal", for example: A B.I look for a suitable SELECT, that returns (in this case) following result:
TAB02.ID|TAB01.Name|TAB02.PositionA|TAB02.PositionB|
1|ABC|1|1|
10|DEF|2|3|
25|JKL|4|3|
30|MNO|5|1|
36|MNO|5|7|
41|PQR|6|4|
46|STU|7|2|
Data inserted in "TAB02" represents real-life structure:
ID|Name|P01|P02|P03|...|Pxy|
1|ABC|A|B|C|D|E|A|D|
2|DEF|J|K|A|B|F|F|B|
3|GHI|B|A|C|A|F|G|A|F|
4|JKL|F|E|A|B|B|E|E|
5|MNO|A|B|C|B|A|D|A|B|
6|PQR|D|E|F|A|B|A|F|
7|STU|A|A|B|B|E|B|E|

In SQL Server you can do a SELECT INTO to create a new table, much like CREAT TABLE AS in Oracle. I'm putting together a dynamic script that will create a table with the number of columns being the dynamic part of my script. Got any suggestions that come to mind?
Example:
I need to count the number of weeks between two dates, my columns in the table need to be at least one for every week returned in my query.
I'm thinking of getting a count of the number of weeks then building my column string comma separated then do my CREATE TABLE statement rather then the SELECT INTO... But I'm not sure I'll be able to do that using a variable that holds the string of column names. I'm guess the only way I can do this is via either VBScript or VB rather then from within the database.
BTW - this would be a stored procedure...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I hope someone can answer this, I'm not even sure where to start looking for documentation on this. The SQL query I'm referencing is included at the bottom of this post.
I have a query with 3 select statements joined together like tables. It works great, except for the fact that I need to declare a variable and make it a table within two of those 3. The example is below. You'll see that I have three select statements made into tables A, B, and C, and that table A has a variable @years, which is a table.
This works when I just run table A by itself, but when I execute the entire query, I get an error about the "declare" keyword, and then some other errors near the word "as" and the ")" character. These are some of those errors that I find pretty meaningless that just mean I've really thrown something off.
So, am I not allowed to declare a variable within these SELECT tables that I'm creating and joining?
Thanks in advance,
Andy

Hello all,
Please help....
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)?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Minor and inconsequential but sometimes you just gotta know: Is it possible to define a non-primary key index within a Create Table statement? I can create a constraint and a PK. I can create the table and then add the index. I just wondered if you can do it in one statement. e.g. I have: CREATE TABLE MyT (MyT_ID INT Identity(1, 1) CONSTRAINT MyT_PK PRIMARY KEY Clustered, MyT_Desc Char(40) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT MyT_idx1 UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED ON [DEFAULT])which creates a table with a PK and unique constraint. I would like (pseudo SQL):CREATE TABLE MyT (MyT_ID INT Identity(1, 1) CONSTRAINT MyT_PK PRIMARY KEY Clustered, MyT_Desc Char(40) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT MyT_idx1 UNIQUE INDEX NONCLUSTERED ON [DEFAULT]) No big deal - just curious :D Once I know I can stop scouring BOL for clues. Tks in advance

Hi!
I have a select question that look like this:
DECLARE @ID uniqueidentifier;
SET @ID = '40bd3052-60f4-414a-99df-ca882c128493';
SELECT
rp.ID AS ReportPackId
,rp.SupplierPartyIdentifier AS SupplierPartyIdentifier
,rpap.AdditionalPartyIdentifier AS AdditionalPartyIdentifier
FROM
ReportPack rp
INNER JOIN ReportPackAdditionalParty rpap
ON rpap.fk_ReportPack = rp.ID
WHERE rp.ID = @ID
The result a get when running the select question is:
ReportPackId
SupplierPartyIdentifier
AdditionalPartyIdentifier
40BD3052-60F4-414A-99DF-CA882C128493
String
addPartyId1
40BD3052-60F4-414A-99DF-CA882C128493
String
addPartyId2
My problem is that the result I want is the following:
ReportPackId
SupplierPartyIdentifier
AdditionalPartyIdentifier
AdditionalPartyIdentifier
40BD3052-60F4-414A-99DF-CA882C128493
String
addPartyId1
addPartyId2
I always know that the ReportPackId and SupplierPartyIdentifier will be identical for all rows because of the Where condition, and therefore I want all AdditionalPartyIdentifiers to be in columns instead of a new row. Is this possible?
