hello all,
I don't know how to update table A with data from table B without specifying every column.
These two tables have the same fields and same structure.
I know that it's possible to do the following:
update table A
set A.name = B.name,
A.job = B.job
from table B
But I have many columns and don't want to describe every column, is that possible?
Thanks!

View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to update a large table, about 55 million rows, without filling the transaction log, in the shortest time as possible. The goal is to alter the table and change the data type for Text column from VARCHAR(7900) to NVARCHAR(MAX).
Since I cannot do it with an ALTER TABLE statement (it would fill up the transaction log) I'm thinking to:
- rename column Text in Text_OLD
- add Text column of type NVARCHAR(MAX)
- copy values in batches from Text_OLD to Text
The table is defined like:
create table DATATEXT(
rID INTEGER NOT NULL,
sID INTEGER NOT NULL,
pID INTEGER NOT NULL,
cID INTEGER NOT NULL,
err TINYINT NOT NULL,
[Code] ....
I've thought about a stored procedure doing this but how to copy values in batch from Text_OLD to Text.
The code I would start with (doing just this part) is the following, but maybe there are more efficient ways to do it, or at least there's a better way to select @startSeq in the WHILE loop (avoiding to select a bunch of 100000 sequences and later selecting the max).
declare @startSeq timestamp
declare @lastSeq timestamp
select @lastSeq = MAX(sequence) from [DATATEXT] where [Text] is null
select @startSeq = MIN(Sequence) FROM [DATATEXT] where [Text]is null
BEGIN TRANSACTION T1
WHILE @startSeq < @lastSeq
[Code] ....
I am trying to use a stored procedure to update a column in a sql table using the value from a variable table I getting errors because my syntax is not correct. I think table aliases are not allowed in UPDATE statements.
This is my statement:
UPDATE [dbo].[sessions_teams] stc
SET stc.[Talks] = fmt.found_talks_type
FROM @Find_Missing_Talks fmt
WHERE stc.sessionid IN (SELECT sessionid FROM @Find_Missing_Talks)
AND stc.coupleid IN (SELECT coupleid FROM @Find_Missing_Talks)
Need to update one table with value of a column in another table plus a constant:
UPDATE TABLE_A
SET TABLE_A.COLA=TABLE_B.COLB+'10'
FROM TABLE_A
INNER JOIN TABLE_B
ON TABLE_A.COLA=TABLE_B.COLA
WHERE TABLE_A.COLA=TABLE_B.COLA
The above statement works except the concatenated string has space between TABLE_B.COLB text and '10'. How to remove the space (4 characters) so that the string shows as one word 'TABLE_B.COLB10'?

I have a table called ADSCHL which contains the school_code as Primary key and other two table as
RGDEGR(common field as SCHOOl_code) and RGENRl( Original_school_code) which are refrencing the ADSCHL. if a school_code will be updated both the table RGDEGR (school_code) and RGERNL ( original_schoolcode) has to be updated as well. I have been provided a new data that i have imported to SQL server using SSIS with table name as TESTCEP which has a column name school_code. I have been assigned a task to update the old school_code vale ( ADSCHL) with new school_code ( TESTCEP) and make sure the changes happen across all 3 tables.
I tried using Merge Update function not sure if this is going to work.
Update dbo.ADSCHL
SET dbo.ADSCHL.SCHOOL_CODE = FD.SCHOOL_Code
FROM dbo.ADSCHL AD
INNER JOIN TESTCEP FD
ON AD.SCHOOL_NAME = FD.School_Name
Hi all, I am not over familiar with SQL, I am a VB programmer, simply I need to achieve the following within Enterprise Manager.
I have 2 tables, different designs, different number of rows, I simply need to check whether the contents of a column in the first table is in a column in the second table, just simply a table/column to table/column data check for the same data content.
Easy Peasy for you guys, any help would be appreciated.
If on the source I have a new column, the script generated by SqlPackage.exe recreates the table on the background with moving the data into a temp storage. If the table is big, such approach can cause issues.
Example of the script is below: in the source project I added columns [MyColumn_LINE_1]  and [MyColumn_LINE_5].
Is there any way I can make it generating an alter statement instead?
BEGIN TRANSACTION;
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE;
SET XACT_ABORT ON;
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tmp_ms_xx_MyTable] (
[MyColumn_TYPE_CODE] CHAR (3) NOT NULL,
[Code] ....
The same script is generated regardless the table having data or not, having a clustered or nonclustered PK.
I have a requirement of table partitioning. we have 10 years of data on a table which is 30 billion up rows on 2005 server we are upgrading it to 2014. we have to keep 7 years of data. there is no keys on table or date column. since its a huge amount of data and many users its slow down the process speed. we are thinking to do partition on 7 years for Quarterly based. but as i said there is no date column on table we have to use reference table to get date. is there a way i can do the partitioning with out adding date column on table? also does partition will make query faster?Â
I have think three ways to do it.
1. leave as it is.
2. 7 years partition on one server
3. 3 years partition on server1 and 4 years partition on server2 (for 4 years is snapshot better?)
I have a sp where I have 2 tables. I have already populated ecah table with data.
Now I need to update Table1 with data from Table2.
Key fields between the 2 tables are job_date, job_number and job_phase.
If the record exists in Table1 (reading Table2) need to update record in Table1 with qty_received from Table2.
If record does not exists in Table1, need to insert record into Table1 with job_date, job_number, job_phase and qty_received from Table2
I am very new to sql and wonder if someone would be so kind to help me out? Thank you.
Table1 ie Target
job_date datetime,
job_number char(15),
job_phase char(15),
qty_delivered decimal(8,2)
qty_received decimal (8,2)
Table2 ie Source
job_date datetime,
job_number char(15),
job_phase char(15),
qty_received decimal(8,2)
Hello,
I'm attempting to explore the functionality of SSIS and all the available data flow transformations, and I'm trying to learn how to use the tool correctly.
How would someone update a table with data which is calculated from that same table.
This is a made up example. Lets say I have a table:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tst_source](
[tst_key] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[object] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[color] [varchar](20) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[color_count] [int] NULL
)
I would like to populate the field color_count with the count of items listed with that color.
Data:
tst_key object color color_count
1, chair blue NULL
2, table black NULL
3 lamp black NULL
----
So the last column for 1st rec value would be 1, and for 2nd and 3rd, would be two.
tst_key object color color_count
1, chair blue 1
2, table black 2
3 lamp black 2
-- With T-SQL I would use the following code:
update tst_source
set color_count = res.cnt
from tst_source
Inner join (select count(tst_key) cnt,color
from tst_source
group by color) res
ON res.color = tst_source.color
But I would like to use the Data Transformations. Can someone explain in great detail which Data Transformation tasks I would need to use?
Thank you.

Is it possible to update from one table to another?Pls examine my code here:
UPDATE tStaffDir SET tStaffDir.ft_prevemp = ISNULL(tStaffDir_PrevEmp.PrevEmp01, ' ') + ' ' + ISNULL(tStaffDir_PrevEmp.PrevEmp02, ' ') + ' ' + ISNULL(tStaffDir_PrevEmp.PrevEmp03, ' ') + ' ' + ISNULL(tStaffDir_PrevEmp.PrevEmp04, ' ') + ' ' + ISNULL(tStaffDir_PrevEmp.PrevEmp05, ' ') Where tStaffDir_PrevEmp.ID=tStaffDir.ID
I am trying to concatenate the columns from tStaffDir_PrevEmp to tStaffDir but I have this error where tStaffDir_PrevEmp is recognised as a column and not a table.
Pls advise how this can be done. Many Thanks.
I have a table wherein I have to update a particular column (receipt code) based on another column of the same table (receipt number). i have to do calculations in order to generate the correct receipt code, and i have to do this on every row of the table. how can i do this? will this update be in a loop or something?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI need to write a update statement which will update the same table with value from the same column but the values will be changing.
For an example.
The source table is as below.
ROWID DATA Header
1 AAA H1
2 isa1
3 isb2
4 AAA3b3 H2
5 same
Now the records with rowid 2 and 3 should be updated with H1 as Header which is present in the Rowid 1.
Similarly the record rowid 5 should be updated with H2 as header from rowid 4.
I am trying to remove a user from Reporting Services via code. I have found that the way to do this is to remove their details from an XML field in the table SecData
The name of the column is xml_description
An example value of the column is below:
<Policy>
<GroupUserName>BUILTINAdministrators</GroupUserName>
<GroupUserId>AQIAAAAAAAUgAAAAIAIAAA==</GroupUserId>
<Roles>
<Role>
<Name>Content Manager</Name>
[Code]....
I would like to remove the bolded part in the column when I put in the user's name.
So the code would start with:
Declare @username varchar (20)
Set @ username = 'EMEAMJohnson'
Followed by the logic to remove the bolded part of the column.
The column is called xml_description and the name of the table is SecData.
Hello all, was wondering if you could point me in the right direction for this.
I have a db with a column classifications, and in that column are 'Accountants - (1234)' 'Book-keepers - (18) etc etc. Now what I want to do is remove the - (xxxx) section and obviously the white space, so I am just left with 'Accountants' 'Book-keepers' etc.
1. Is there an easy way to do this?
Ok so my thoughts were create a another table and put the ammended classifications in that to update the first table. Your probably asking why not just do it on the first table...Answer. There are over 150,000 records to change.
So I now have my first table with column classification and my second table with the correct classification ammendments.
I can sit down and manually type
UPDATE table1
SET classifications = 'Accountants'
Where classifications = 'Accounts - (xxxx)'
until i have completed the entire list in table 2 but I was hoping you good people would know a way to work through the list so it would automatically update each classification correctly.
The problem I have here is I dont know how to work through table 2 and match it to something in table 1 and update it.
Any help is greatfully appreciated
Hi,
I am quite new in SSIS and I have a question. I don't know what is the best way to get it work...
So simply I have in my SQL Server database 2 tables :
First table "SER" fields
SER_ID
SER_IS_CHANGE_RELATED
where I have only the field SER_ID filled like
SER_ID SER_IS_CHANGE_RELATED
1234 NULL
1235 NULL
1236 NULL
Second table "SRE" fields
SRE_ID
SRE_SER_ID
SRE_CHA_ID
and the content would be for example
SRE_ID SRE_SER_ID SRE_CHA_ID
1 1234 2345
2 1234 2346
3 1236 2347
The 2 tables are related by the fields : SER_ID = SRE_SER_ID
So I would like to have the following result in my table "SER":
SER_ID SER_IS_CHANGE_RELATED
1234 True
1235 NULL
1236 True
"True" because one or more entry is present in table "SRE" for each SER_ID (= SRE_SER_ID)
Hope my example is clear....
Thanks for your help
