What is the standard way to union tables with exactly the same schema that are in different databases?
For example:
Code Block
USE db1 SELECT * FROM table1
UNION
USE db2 SELECT * FROM table2
this will return the following error:
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'use'.
We had a divestiture within our company. Now what used to be contained in one database in now split into two databases. One showing all history and one being all current data as of 6/1/2008. Is there an easy way to Union or Join these? Right now I'm currently doing a simple UNION ALL, but can't group the two select statements:
SELECT
Year,Location,QtySold
FROM
historydb
UNION ALL
SELECT
Year,Location,QtySold
FROM
currentdb
Can't do a subset and group both of these selects. How would some of you pro's do this? Right now I can put this in a simple view and then create a SP off of this view that would do this grouping, but it seems like I should be able to do it all in one query. Thanks.
I am having an issue when trying to union all between two databases.
This is the error:
Implicit conversion of varchar value to varchar cannot be performed because the collation of the value is unresolved due to a collation conflict.
I have updated the collation in both DB to Latin1_General_CI_AS and I am still getting the error when running the query.
The queries run separately ok. why I am still getting the collation error.
I attempted to create a view in SQL Server 2000 that Unions twoqueries. The first part of the query gets data from the local server,the second part gets info from a linked server. (The query works finein Query Analyzer.)I received this error when I tried to save the query:ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver] The operation couldnot be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable tobegin a distributed transaction.[Microsft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server][OLE/DB providerreturned message: New transaction cannot enlist in the specifiedtransaction coordinator.]After a little reading I discovered the "Database limitation":"A view can be created on a table only in the database the viewcreator is accessing".That's my problem... is there a simple solution or alternative tocreating a view?Thanks,Matt
View 2 Replies View RelatedDear Readers,Is it possible, like in Access, to link to tables in other SQL databases that are on the same server? I have a query that I originally had in Access that queered from multiply databases. It did this by having those other tables in the other databases linked to the database that had the query.
I am trying to figure out the best method for transferring SQL 2005 databases from 2 different physical servers to a new server running windows server 2008 64bit.I own a fully registered copy of Microsoft SQL 2005 32bit Standard Edition. However all of my SQL databases together are only 4GB in size thereby making 2008 SQL Express an option.
Here is the breakdown of the servers:
1) (Old Server1) Windows 2003 Server 32bit - SQL Express 2005 32bit
2) (Old Server2) Windows 2003 Server 32bit - SQL Server 2005 32bit Standard
3) (New Server) Windows 2008 Server 64bit - (Not sure which version to install)
**The objective is to migrate 2 SQL databases from Old Server1 and 1 SQL database from Old Server 2 to the New Server. What version should I install on the new server??? Do I go with 2008 express or install the 2005 Standard Edition?
Pending your response to which version to install, what are the correct steps to migrate (which I have never done before) the databases from both of these servers to the new server? I think this particular situation is unique in that I am transferring from both SQL Express and Standard from 2 different physical servers to a 2008 server that is 64bit.
I have a windows 2003 server which has SQL 2005 Express with advanced services installed on it. Then a few weeks back the company purchased SQL server Standard Edition which comes with SQL Server Management Studio (which has more features than SQL Server Management Studio Express currently installed on the server where sql express is running)I have been trying to schedule a maintanance plan on the SQLExpress Instance database from the SQL Server Management Studio that came with the standard version of sql but i have not been able to have all SQL Server Management Studio functionality available when connected to the SQLExpress instance. So is there a way i can connect to the Express Instance from management studio(that comes with the standard edition of sql) and have all its functions available when working with a SQL express database. Or i must upgrade the express database?

Hi there, I have some identical tables that I want to query for a search Is there anyway I can execute the unions first then a where command on all the tables at once I have tried using go but it doesn't seem to work, so I put the where statemtents at the end of each union for now. Here's my code:
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM england WHERE company LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address1 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address2 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address3 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address4 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address5 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR postcode LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' " &_
"UNION ALL SELECT * FROM ni WHERE company LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address1 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address2 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address3 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address4 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address5 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR postcode LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' " &_
"UNION ALL SELECT * FROM wales WHERE company LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address1 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address2 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address3 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address4 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address5 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR postcode LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' " &_

This query works perfectly and orders by just as I need
Code:
Select
'1st' As [Type],
#Uno.ID
#Uno.Address,
#Uno.shippingInfo
FROM #Uno
[Code] ....
However, when I use it in a Union All so I can pull data from 2 diff tables, the order by statement no longer works. How can I order by data in 2 tables?
Code:
Select
'1st' As [Type],
#Uno.ID
#Uno.Address,
#Uno.shippingInfo

I try to build some query on hierarchy data and after two days thinking about it i have null result. What I need is union more trees tables by root id to one table.

WITH tree (sid, parend_id, level) as
(
SELECT sid, parend_id, 0 as level

But this query work with one root id (100); what can i do when i have more roots id ? -> generate each tree table separated by roots id and then all tables join to one (union).
Is it possible to combine the following tables:
Table1:

1 3
2 2
3 1
-There is always the same number of rows in both tables.
Thanks a lot!
Hello,
I'm using SQL2005, SP2
I have multiple temp tables with the same column structure that I would combine into into a single temp table using Unions.
Is this possible?
Example:
Select * From #temp1
Union All
Select * From #temp2
Union All
Select * From #temp3
Into #Temp4
I thought I would ask while I continue to research this in case someone came back with the solution before I was able to track it down elsewhere.
Thanks!
I have 2 tables
tblOpenSiteDates
Site: int
OpenDate: smalldate
Comment: VarChar
tblCloseSiteDates
Site: int
CloseDate: smalldate
Comments: VarChar
newLocationID: int
I am trying to get a view which would display a site with the open and close dates. Null is ok for a close date for those opens that are still open.. not every office has an open date and close date.. it is possible to have just a close date and not an open date (ie unsure of open date but I know its closing)
so the output would be
viewOpenCloseSites
Site: int
opendate: smalldate
closedate: smalldate
PLEASE HELP i just can not figure it out

I have two tables with data that I need to get and display in a combobox. What I want to do is have the parent table listed in the combobox with all of its children indented. Sorted by parent then by child.
This SQL seems to be more complex than I have done previously
I can get all of the records from both tables easily:
Code:
SELECT strName, ID FROM tblParents as pp
INNER JOIN tblChildren as cc
ON cc.pID = pp.uiGUID
UNION (SELECT strName FROM tblChildren as c
INNER JOIN tblParents as p
ON c.pID = p.ID)
However, this simply returns a list that is not ordered in any fashion. I'd like to have all of the parent's children shown under the parent name (there is only 1 parent per child and multiple children per parent)
Hi!
I'm trying to get the results from three different tables, where they have some of the same results. I'm only interested in where they match and then trying to order by date (that's in three columns - M, D, Y). I read previous post in 9/07 but the result doesn't seem to order correctly. It does not have any rhyme or reason to the outputed results as it bounces back and forth through Oct, Nov and Dec posting and throughout all three tables. Here's my query below. Any ideas how I can get my ordering correct for all three tables to display all Oct, all Nov and all Dec?
Thanks so much

I have got the following union statement:
SELECT plan2008.jahr, plan2008.monat, plan2008.kdkrbez, plan2008.kdgrbez, plan2008.abgrbez, plan2008.artnr,
FROM plan2008
GROUP BY plan2008.jahr, plan2008.monat, plan2008.kdkrbez, plan2008.kdgrbez, plan2008.abgrbez, plan2008.artnr
UNION
SELECT fsp_auftrag.jahr, fsp_auftrag.monatnr, fsp_auftrag.kundenkreis, fsp_auftrag.kundengruppe, fsp_auftrag.abnehmergruppe, fsp_auftrag.artnr
FROM fsp_auftrag
GROUP BY fsp_auftrag.jahr, fsp_auftrag.monatnr, fsp_auftrag.kundenkreis, fsp_auftrag.kundengruppe, fsp_auftrag.abnehmergruppe, fsp_auftrag.artnr
My problem is that each table contains additional values like art_amount, art_turnover etc... whereby the first table contains plan values while the second table contains actual values.
My goal is to get plan as well as the actual values in one row, how is that possible? If I put the values into each of the selects I get two rows, which is not the wished output.
Is it possible to join the tables after the union took place?
Thanks in advance!
HI, Guys:
I've some AT_DATE tables (eg: AT_20080401, AT_20080402, ...) in SQLServer DB, and these AT_XX table have same columns. but table count could be variant, so I have to query sysobjects to get all of these tables. like this:
select name from sysobject where name like 'AT_%'
Now I try to create a view AT which is the union of all these AT_XX tables, such as:
Code Snippet
Create View AT as
select * from AT_20080401
union
select * from AT_20080402
union ...
but since I'm not sure how many tables there, it would be impossible to write SQL as above.
though I could get this union result via stored-procedure, view couldn't be created on the resultset of a procedure.
Create View AT as
select * from AT_createView() <-- AT_createView must be a function, not procedure
I've checked msdn, there is Multi-statement table-valued function, but this function type seems to create one temporary table, I don't want to involve much of insert operation because there could be more than 1million records totally in these AT_XX tables.
So is there any way to achived my goal?
any reference would be appreciated, thanks !
I'm trying to summarize costs assigned to active jobs for a manufacturing business. I need to aggregate work in process (WIP) cost that resides in labor-transaction and part-transaction tables based on transaction types, and transaction dates. Some transactions increase the WIP cost of the job while others decrease WIP. The business needs to see how much $$ is tied up in each job as of a particular date -- the calculation is:
ToDate (cost of materials and labor assigned to job)
- ToInv (cost of materials returned to inventory)
- ToSales (cost of materials sold).
I developed this query incrementally and, so far, the #ToDate, #ToInv, and #ToSales temp tables seem to be populating with the correct data. My thought was to combine these three tables with a UNION and then extract the grand totals and here's where I started getting the following error:
------------------------------------------
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'UNION'.
------------------------------------------
The problem is with the UNIONs going into #myTotal.
I would appreciate any help with this. Also, please let me know if you can suggest a better design for this. Thanks!
Below is a simplified version of my query:
--#ToDate
CREATE TABLE #ToDate (JobNum varchar(14), Cost decimal (16,2)
INSERT INTO #ToDate (JobNum, Cost)
--M&S To Date
SELECT pt.jobnum,
SUM(pt.extcost) AS Cost
FROM parttran pt
JOIN jobhead jh ON pt.jobnum=jh.jobnum
WHERE trantype IN ( <valid trans types> )
AND jh.JobReleased = 1
AND pt.TranDate < '2007-9-30'
GROUP BY pt.jobnum
UNION -- This one works ok.
--L&B To Date
SELECT jh.JobNum,
sum(l.LaborRate*l.LaborHrs) + sum(l.BurdenRate*l.BurdenHrs) AS Cost
FROM LaborDtl l
JOIN JobHead jh ON l.JobNum = jh.JobNum

Currently I have a standard query with a join to several tables. There are two additional tables MAS_CTB and MAS_STB. I would like to do a union between those two tables to get FIELDVALUE which will exist in either the CTB table or the STB table and then have that value be returned with the results of the original query.
I can of course write a UNION from the main query to the CTB and then to the STB table, however it's about 80 dummy fields I would have to replicate in the union which is why I was wondering if there was a more simple way.
Main Query:
SELECT Field1, Field2...Field80
From Table1
Join Table2
Union Portion:
Select FieldValue <------
From MAS_CTB
UNION
Select FieldValue <-----Return to main query above
From MAS_STB
The enterprise edition of SQL server includes some advanced BI features, for example the fuzzy lookup feature of IS. If the IS package lives on an enterprise edition of SQL server and the database the package it is targeting lives on a standard edition of SQL server can the advanced features be used? Can you run a fuzzy look against a database on a standard edition of SQL server when th IS package lives on an enterprise edition of SQL server? THANKS!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI believe it is possible to restore databases from Enterprise edition to an enviroment with Standard edition. We have been able to do it on databases without any partitioned tables. But if a database has partitioned tables it will not start up in the Standard edition after a successful restore. The error log states that the database will not start because partitions are not allowed in Standard edition (which we knew). But we were led to believe that the databases would restore and open fine, the partitions would just not be there in Standard edition. Are we possibly doing something wrong or will this just not work?

I have a query which does 3 selects and Union ALLs each to get a final result set. The performance is unacceptable - takes around a minute to run. If I remove the Union All so that the result sets are returned individually it returns all 3 from the query in around 6 seconds (acceptable performance).
Any way to join the result sets together without using Union All.
Each result set has exactly the same structure returned...

Hi,
I'm writing an intranet application - a web survey engine.
I'd like to create a new database for each user that creates a survey form...
versus creating new tables for each survey.
Memory and disk space is not exactly the problem... just user permissions. If I dump all the results onto one database, doesn't it mean that this user can have access to all other tables(including the results of other surveys??)
Question is, does SQL Server reserve a bunch of memory for each database that I create, thereby hogging up a lot of space if I create more than one database.
Thank you.

Credit for this script really goes to ToddV (see http://www.sqlteam.com/Forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=13737)
The following script issues a DBREINDEX command against every table in every database on your server. It can be modified to issue other commands, but this one in particular is helpful as we are migrating about 30 databases from SQL 7 to SQL 2000 (new server) and re-indexing is recommended. Here's the script:
DECLARE @SQL NVarchar(4000)
SET @SQL = ''
SELECT @SQL = @SQL + 'EXEC ' + NAME + '..sp_MSforeachtable @command1=''DBCC DBREINDEX (''''*'''')'', @replacechar=''*''' + Char(13)
FROM MASTER..Sysdatabases
WHERE dbid > 6 -- skip the 6 built-in databases. Remove to process ALL
PRINT @SQL -- Only if you want to see the code you're about to execute.
EXEC (@SQL)
Notes: There is a limit (nvarchar 4000) to how big your command can be, so too many databases will halt this.
