I'm trying to update a field (tmpRequestID) in a SQL Express table (tblTSubRequest) using a value in a SQL 2000 database field (fldtmpRequestID) in the dbo.NewPurchase table.
The procedure I thought would work is:
USE [tempPurchase]
GO
/****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[UpdateSubfldRequestID] Script Date: 07/11/2007 15:01:51 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[UpdateSubfldRequestID]
AS
BEGIN
-- Insert statements for procedure here
UPDATE tblTSubRequest
SET tmpRequestID = tblRequest.fldRequestID
FROM tblTSubRequest INNER JOIN
[NGTXA4-RSMSZ-01].NewPurchase.dbo.tblRequest ON tblTSubRequest.fldRequestID = tblRequest.fldRequestID
WHERE (tblRequest.fldUpdateCode = 99)
END
It appears that the procedure cannot read the field value on the 2000 server and the 2000 server is linked to the 2005 express edition.
I want to update a field with a trigger only if a specific field is updated.

If I have a table with 1 or more Nullable fields and I want to make sure that when an INSERT or UPDATE occurs and one or more of these fields are left to NULL either explicitly or implicitly is there I can set these to non-null values without interfering with the INSERT or UPDATE in as far as the other fields in the table?
EXAMPLE:
CREATE TABLE dbo.MYTABLE(
ID NUMERIC(18,0) IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
FirstName VARCHAR(50) NULL,
LastName VARCHAR(50) NULL,
[Code] ....
If an INSERT looks like any of the following what can I do to change the NULL being assigned to DateAdded to a real date, preferable the value of GetDate() at the time of the insert? I've heard of INSTEAD of Triggers but I'm not trying tto over rise the entire INSERT or update just the on (maybe 2) fields that are being left as null or explicitly set to null. The same would apply for any UPDATE where DateModified is not specified or explicitly set to NULL. I would want to change it so that DateModified is not null on any UPDATE.
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName, DateAdded)
VALUES('John','Smith',NULL)
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName)
VALUES('John','Smith')
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName, DateAdded)
SELECT FirstName, LastName, NULL
FROM MYOTHERTABLE

Please help. thanks.
In Access, you have a combo with column designations for example me.combofield.column(x) and you can update another field with those column(x) values.
How do you do it in MS SQL?
I didn't mean "from a 'combo' field'" in SQL(!) I just want to reproduce the equivalent of an Access combo box.
Hi. I'm not such an expert in sql and I wanted to update a table's fields only if the value that im going to update it with is not null. How do I do that?

How can I convert a datetime field to a date field in SQL in a way that excel will recognize it as a date type and not a text type?
I tried:

CAST(TASK_FINISH_DATE as date)
**all of the above returned text objectes in excel and not date objects.

The data types xml and varchar are incompatible in the equal to operator.Basically within each cell I am trying to change the StartDate only

in sql server I want to update the "UpdatedDate" field automatically when I change ANY other field in that specific record.it has to be set to the current server time.

I am trying to update a field in a temptable with the count of items in another table. To illustrate, CustomerID=23 and I want the number of occurences in the temp table. Here's the code which DOESN'T work:
INSERT INTO TempTable
(
CustomerID,
FirstName,
LastName,
DateAdded,
AlbumPicture,
LayoutCount

SELECT
Albums.CustomerID,
Customers.FirstName,
Customers.LastName,
DateAdded,

COUNT(*) FROM Layouts WHERE Layout.customerID = Albums.CustomerID
FROM
Albums JOIN
Customers on (Albums.CustomerID=Customers.CustomerID)
Please take a look at the COUNT line. Here I want to count the occurences of a specific customerid in another table and put in into th LayoutCount field.
SQL server reports "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'FROM'". Any ideas how to achieve this?
Many thanks!!

Is it possible to update the filed used in the inner join

Hello,
I am updating three fields (defined as decimal(18,4) NULL) in
a 1.7 million record table to 0.
This table is also very wide (meaning lot of columns). A simple
query like this -
Update Table1
Set [Decimal Field1] = 0,
[Decimal Field2] = 0,
[Decimal Field3] = 0
is taking forever (1+ hours) to run.
Either I may be doing something stupid here or I am missing
something vital.
Thanks for any help.
Hi,
I'm trying to use the Update command to change a field value. I only know the field name at run-time, how do you write this command. This is what I have done which just sets the variable @cFieldName to the value and not the field within the table.
UPDATE [Atable] SET @cFieldName = @aValue WHERE ([Id] = @Id_1)
Thanks
Hi all,
I have a table with millions of records, table has three fields: case_id,line_no and notedata field, notedata field is 60 chars long, datatype varchar.for each case_id there could be as many as 2000 line_no meaning 2000 notes. I need to compress these notes into one note by case_no, For example case_no 1 could have 2000 lines of notes but my comressed table shoul have only one line containing all 2000 notes in line_no sequence.
my compressed table contains two fields case_no and notetext, notetext is a text field.
here is the script I am trying to use to accomplish the task but it does not append more than 8000 chars in one case, so my notes are chopping of, how should I do this, please let me know of any suggestions..
Thanks.

Hi All,
I will be doing stress test for my app.
Loading thousands of records to the DB through bulk insert.
There's one field NText which I have left NULL because it will be hard to gen dummy flat file to it.
I have another table which has the Ntext Value which i will want to copy and duplicate to the other table.
what is the way to do it?
simply said i want to update a record with NULL value from one table with NText field with the value from another table..
I would like to append information to a varchar field with an update statement, for example the field currently contains a name (Mark) and I would like to add information to name for business purposes, to update it to Markqw215, is this possible to do with an update statement?

ok, so we have a field in one of our db's, a do_not_synch field. this field has a datatype of char...
the following sql statement does not update the field..
update contacts
set do_not_synch = 'Y'
where id=1
and if i open up the table in sql server management studio, and cannot type in and save the value Y...yes i can update other fields in this row...so its not a permissions issue?
is there anything special i should have to do?
