IF NOT EXISTS (... - EXISTS TABLE : Nested Iteration. Table Scan.Forward Scan.
Sep 20, 2006Hi,
This is on Sybase but I'm guessing that the same situation would happen on SQL Server. (Please confirm if you know).
I'm looking at these new databases and I'm seeing code similar to this all over the place:
if not exists (select 1 from dbo.t1 where f1 = @p1)
begin
select @errno = @errno | 1
end
There's a unique clustered in dex on t1.f1.
The execution plan shows this for this statement:
FROM TABLE
dbo.t1
EXISTS TABLE : nested iteration.
Table Scan.
Forward scan.
Positioning at start of table.
It's not using my index!!!!!
It seems to be the case with EXISTS statements. Can anybody confirm?
I also hinted to use the index but it still didn't use it.
If the existence check really doesn't use the index, what's a good code alternative to this check?
I did this and it's working great but I wonder if there's a better alternative. I don't really like doing the SET ROWCOUNT 1 and then SET ROWCOUNT 0 thing. SELECT TOP 1 won't work on Sybase, :-(.
SET ROWCOUNT 1
SELECT @cnt = (SELECT 1 FROM dbo.t1 (index ix01)
WHERE f1 = @p1
)
SET ROWCOUNT 0
Appreciate your help.
Derived Column Usage When Column Does Not Exist In Source (but Exists In Destination)
Sep 11, 2007
Posted - 09/10/2007 : 15:53:26
Hey all - got a problem that seems like it would be simple (and probably is : )
I'm importing a csv file into a SQL 2005 table and would like to add 2 columns that exist in the table but not in the csv file. I need these 2 columns to contain the current month and year (columns are named CM and CY respectively). How do I go about adding this data to each row during the transformation? A derived column task? Script task? None of these seem to be able to do this for me.
Here's a portion of the transformation script I was using to accomplish this when we were using SQL 2000 DTS jobs:
'**********************************************************************
' Visual Basic Transformation Script
'************************************************************************
' Copy each source column to the destination column
Function Main()
DTSDestination("CM") = Month(Now)
DTSDestination("CY") = Year(Now)
DTSDestination("Comments") = DTSSource("Col031")
DTSDestination("Manufacturer") = DTSSource("Col030")
DTSDestination("Model") = DTSSource("Col029")
DTSDestination("Last Check-in Date") = DTSSource("Col028")
Main = DTSTransformStat_OK
End Function
***********************************************************
Hopefully this question isnt answered somewhere else, but I did a quick search and came up with nothing. I've actually tried to utilize the script component and the "Row" object, but the only properties I'm given with that are the ones from the source data.
thanks in advance!

If Exists Column ?
Nov 30, 2005Hello
How do you check if a column exist ?
for a table :
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[myTable]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[myTable]
GO
but I dont find it for a column
Thank you
How To: Check If A Column Exists, And If Not, Add It?
Feb 5, 2007Well, actually, as in the title. I have a table. The script should add a column if that column doesn't exist already. I use VB to combine the two queries. So what I want:
Query1: Does the column exists:
if No,
query2: create the column
How can I achieve this?
How To Check That Column Does Not Exists Before Adding It?
Jun 22, 2007How to check to make sure a column does not exist before adding it? Be nice to do this in t-sql code instead of using ado.net. It seems as if the IF NOT EXISTS is not supported in SqlCe 3.1? I am trying to do this but I get the token error:
IF NOT EXISTS (
select *
from Information_SCHEMA.columns
where Table_name='authors' and column_name='NewColumn'
)
select 'no'
Is there a list of all CE supported t-sql commands?
Thanks,
Dan

Running An UPDATE Statement Only If A Column Exists
Nov 1, 2007I'm trying to write a script that would only update a column if it exists.
This is what I tried first:
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'Enrollment' AND COLUMN_NAME = 'nosuchfield')
BEGIN
UPDATE dbo.Enrollment SET nosuchfield='666'
END
And got the following error:
Server: Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid column name 'nosuchfield'.
I'm curious why MS-SQL would do syntax checking in this case. I've used this type of check with ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN commands before and it worked perfectly fine.
The only way I can think of to get around this is with:
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'Enrollment' AND COLUMN_NAME = 'nosuchfield')
BEGIN
declare @sql nvarchar(100)
SET @sql = N'UPDATE dbo.Enrollment SET nosuchfield=''666'''
execute sp_executesql @sql
END
which looks a bit awkward. Is there a better way to accomplish this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedNo Data Exists For The Row/column (InvalidOperationException) After A Number Of Reads...
Nov 30, 2006I've been looking around for some kind of known issue or something, but can't find anything. Here's what I'm experiencing:
I have a table with about 50,000 rows. I open several connections and use a command to ExecuteResultSet against each command, with CommandType.TableDirect, CommandText set to the name of the table, and IndexName set to various indexes. In the end, I have several SqlCeResultSet instances which are then maintained for the life of the AppDomain.
In a loop, I call SqlCeResultSet.Read() on one of the instances, and if it returns false, I call SqlCeResultSet.ReadFirst() - essentially creating a circular pass through the result set.
In a Visual Studio debug session, this approach goes swimmingly for a short time, and then after a successful Read(), I'm pegged with an InvalidOperationException (text: "No data exists for the row/column") for a column which was succesfully read on the previous Read(). If, in the immediate window, I call SqlCeResultSet.Read() again on the result set instance, the Get___ methods work as they had been in the previous reads.
It seems like the internal state of the ResultSet is getting corrupted somehow, but it is opaque to me. Any insights on why this suddenly throws this exception?
Transact SQL :: Query Works Even If Column Not Exists In Subquery
Jul 23, 2015When I execute the below queries it works perfectly where as my expectation is, it should break.
Select * from ChildDepartment C where C.ParentId IN (Select Id from TestDepartment where DeptId = 1)
In TestDepartment table, I do not have ID column. However the select in sub query works as ID column exists in ChildDepartment. If I do change the query to something below then definately it will break -
Select * from ChildDepartment C where C.ParentId IN (Select D.Id from TestDepartment D where D.DeptId = 1)
Shouldn't the default behavior be otherwise? It should throw error if column doesnt exists in sub query table and force me to define the correct source table or alias name.
create table TestDepartment
(
DeptId int identity(1,1) primary key,
name varchar(50)
)
create table ChildDepartment
(
Id int identity(1,1) primary key,

Transact SQL :: If Not Exists Some ID In One Table Then Insert ID And Description In Another Table
Jul 14, 2015I need to find out if a Transaction ID exists in Table A that does not exist in Table B. If that is the case, then I need to insert into Table B all of the Transaction IDs and Descriptions that are not already in. Seems to me this would involve If Not Exists and then an insert into Table B. This would work easily if there were only one row. What is the best way to handle it if there are a bunch of rows? Should there be some type of looping?

View 8 Replies View RelatedTemp Table Exists
Sep 14, 2000What is the best way to programmatically determine if a temp table exists? In 6.5, I would use
IF EXISTS(SELECT * from tempdb..sysobjects where id = object_id('tempdb..#MyTable') and type = 'U')
But now that it is strongly discouraged to code against system tables, how could I re-write this statement?
The proper way to check the existence of a table would be:
IF OBJECTPROPERTY(object_id('tablename'), 'IsTable') = 1
However, to get this to run for a temp table, I think you'd have to change the database context to tempdb and then back to your database. That doesn't seem efficient.
I could use
IF object_id('tempdb..#MyTable') IS NOT NULL
But that's not guarenteeing that it's a table, right?
Any ideas?

View 12 Replies View RelatedChecking A Table To See If A Record Already Exists
Sep 19, 2007I've got two tables, one containing a list of company names(approx 10,000 records), the other containing a list of company employees (approx 30,000 records) joined by the CompanyID column.
I have a third table (approx 700 records) containing new employees to be added to the employee table. Each record in this table has the employees details plus the name of their company.
I want to write a query that will check each row in the third table to see if
a) the employee exists in the Employees table
b) the company exists in the Companies table and
c) the employee is listed under the correct company
The query should also handle any combination of the above. So if the company doesn't exist but the employee does, create the company on the companies table and update the appropriate record on the employees table with the new CompanyID etc. etc.
Oh, forgot to mention. The company names in the third table won't be exactly the same as the ones in the Company table so will need to use CharIndex.
Anybody got any ideas?
