How do I append data on an update? I have a table with a field that is nVarchar(1000) and the initial insert is a few sentences. If I wanted to add to that row using an update statement and without starting at the end of the sentences, how would I write that?
Update table set fieldname = 'more data' where value = @variable
instead of
Update table set fieldname = 'initial data more data' where value = @variable
and the 'more data' appends to the initial data... hmmm
I deliberately intend to add some duplicates to one of my tables. For eg
Job User IsAdmin
JobID 235User ID 1 JobID 235User ID 5 JobID 235User ID 9 JobID 235User ID 5 JobID 235User ID 2 JobID 235User ID 9 JobID 235User ID 10 JobID 235User ID 1
I know its bad practice to do such a thing but there is a genuine reason. What I need to do is to be able to have a SQL statement that appends true to the IsAdmin field whenever it encounters the next UserID thats happens to be a duplicate. Hence the above would look like:
Job User IsAdmin
JobID 235User ID 1 JobID 235User ID 5 JobID 235User ID 9 JobID 235User ID 5 True JobID 235User ID 2 JobID 235User ID 9 True JobID 235User ID 10 JobID 235User ID 1 True
I have a table with fields name Days1, Days2, Days3 - I am trying to use a loop in conjunction with a counter to identify each of these fields - I can't quite get the correct syntax and it is driving me crazy!!!
Here's the proc:
WHILE @Counter < 4 BEGIN
SELECT @AppointmentsCount = COUNT(tbl_SurgerySlot.SurgerySlotKey) FROM tbl_SurgerySlot INNER JOIN tbl_SurgerySlotDescription ON tbl_SurgerySlot.PracticeCode = tbl_SurgerySlotDescription.PracticeCode AND tbl_SurgerySlot.Label = tbl_SurgerySlotDescription.Label LEFT OUTER JOIN tbl_Appointment ON tbl_SurgerySlot.SurgerySlotKey = tbl_Appointment.SurgerySlotKey AND tbl_SurgerySlot.ExtractDate = tbl_Appointment.ExtractDate WHERE (tbl_SurgerySlot.ExtractDate = @ExtractDate) AND (tbl_Appointment.AppointmentKey IS NULL) AND (tbl_SurgerySlot.StartTime > @DateFrom) AND (tbl_SurgerySlot.StartTime < @DateTo) AND (tbl_SurgerySlotDescription.IsBookable = 1)
SET @FieldName = 'Days' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),@Counter)
INSERT INTO tmp_Availability (@FieldName) VALUES (@AppointmentsCount)
SET @DateTo = DATEADD(Day,1,@DateTo)
--Increment the loop counter SET @Counter = @Counter + 1
When I run the above the follwoing message is displayed:
Server: Msg 208, Level 16, State 3, Line 36 Invalid object name 'tmp_Availability'.
We€™re calling ADOX::Table::Keys::Append to make a primary key for a table using the SQLOLEDB provider. We€™re passing an ADOX::Key with Name set to a custom name, Type set to ADOX::adKeyPrimary, and a single column added. For the Append call, the 2nd parameter is ADOX::adKeyPrimary, the third is a vtMissing (VT_ERROR with DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND), the last two are empty BSTR€™s. On XP, this works well (msadox.dll file version 2.81.1117.0). On Vista, this fails with an invalid parameter error (msadox.dll version 6.0.6000.16386). Has the interface changed in some way, is this functionality not supported, or is it broken?
I want to add new column 'firstaname' into the existing table "geo" already two columns namely
'salcode' 'lastname'.I run the following code it runs without error, when i opened the database see the structure of table, i didn't find new column in the table "geo"
I have been pulling my hair trying to figure out what the guys at microsoft were thinking when creating the ADOX library. I have an access table that is syncronized with a SQL server. The table has a primary key with two columns [User] and [Program]. The SQL Server has both columns in as the primary key columns and I have a syncronization mechanism that is responsible for several things, one of which is to recreate the Access data structure. All works well for all tables except this one. I have tried to create the multi-column key in several ways, none that worked. Let me show you what I am doing:
I need to programatically create a mdb file which will contain nullable columns. I am using C++ with ADOX for the table creation and ADO to perform the table update.
Although ADOX seems to create the table ok, Table->Columns->Appends does not set the fields as adColNullable as expected.
When I insert data using ADO::Recordset->AddNew the following error occurs :- "The field 'MyTable.Column 2' cannot contain a Null value because the Required property for this field is set to True. Enter a value in this field."
Am I on the right tracks here or do I need to adopt a different approach?
I'm using ADOX 2.8 for table creation: The following is an example of a column defintion:
If CreateNewTable Then CreateNewTable = a.CreateColumn("ReferenceCount", ADOX.DataTypeEnum.adInteger)
If CreateNewTable Then CreateNewTable = a.CreateColumn("Document", ADOX.DataTypeEnum.adLongVarBinary) 'Oleobject
If CreateNewTable Then CreateNewTable = a.CreateColumn("EntityID", ADOX.DataTypeEnum.adWChar, 18) 'text
Where CreateColumn looks like this:
Public Function CreateColumn(ByVal ColumnName As String, ByVal Datatype As ADOX.DataTypeEnum, Optional ByVal Size As Integer = 0) As Boolean
'ADOX.CreateColumn - Called by Common.CreateNewTable 'CreateColumn creates a column described in the Table object so it assumes it is set. 'One method of setting it is to call Select Table after opening the database
If Not Me.ConnectionIsOpen Then MsgBox("CreateColumn - Failed to Create Column : " _ & ColumnName, MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation, cNoConn) Return False End If
Dim col As New ADOX.Column col.Name = ColumnName Try col.Type = Datatype Catch e As Exception MsgBox("CreateColumb - Failed to Create Column : " _ & ColumnName, MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation, e.Message) col = Nothing Return False End Try
If Size <> 0 Then col.DefinedSize = Size Try
Table.Columns.Append(ColumnName, Datatype)
Catch e As Exception If Err.Number() <> 0 Then MsgBox(Err.Source & "-->" & Err.Description, , "Error") End If MsgBox("CreateColumb - Failed to Append Column : " _ & ColumnName, MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation, e.Message) Return False End Try col = Nothing Return True End Function
in CreateColumn("EntityID", ADOX.DataTypeEnum.adWChar, 18)
the 18 specifies the field width in the database. Yet no matter whether I use adWChar or
adVarWChar, Access always shows the field size to be 255.
I am using ADOX to create linked tables in a jet database from an ODBC datasource. The tables in the ODBC data source does not have a primary key. so I am only able to create read only linked tables.But I want to update the records also. I tried adding a primary key column to the linked table while creating the link. but I am getting an error while adding the table to the catalog.
The error message is "Invalid Argument".
I use the following code for creating the linked table
Sub CreateLinkedTable(ByVal strTargetDB As String, ByVal strProviderString As String, ByVal strSourceTbl As String, ByVal strLinkTblName As String)
Dim catDB As ADOX.Catalog Dim tblLink As ADOX._Table
' Name the new Table and set its ParentCatalog property ' to the open Catalog to allow access to the Properties ' collection. .Name = strLinkTblName .ParentCatalog = catDB
' Set the properties to create the link. Dim adoxPro As ADOX.Property
The first line of code works fine but when I try to set the value of the property I get the following excpetion:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in MyDll.dll Additional information: Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.
I want to create a stored procedure that will take filtered entries from one table and insert them into another table. I have created stored procedures using variables but what is the best way of taking data from one table to another?

Hi I'd like to create a table on our SQL server that I can append records to when running a query.
What i intend to do is create a new table with the same fields as the query then when the query runs i want it to append the results to this new table. Is this possible? How would I go about creating the table, primary key etc?
I've tried doing this through an access front end but its not efficient and was a bit of a struggle to be honest.
Also, we need other people who may not have access to enterprise manager to be able to run this append query. Danny
I have a problem with a dropdowncontrol. It is databound, but I need to add "select..." to be the first item in the dropdown. Here is the SQL:SELECT * FROM [PB_Subtopics] Where BriefID=" + DropDownList1.SelectedValueSo the problem I am having is I can't just make an item in the dropdownlist called "select..." and then use appenddatabounditems="true". I'm using ajax and it keeps appending stuff over an over without resetting. So I think I'm going to have to do this within the sql. So maybe that was more information than you needed to know. Anyone know how to make the first row of my SQL results be "select..." or whatnot with a value of 0.

I need to copy data from one SQL table to another SQL table. Is is possible to use DTS to Append and update data from one table to another....along the line of using a Microsoft Access append or update query?
I have a huge table with data.I run a procedure everyday to update the table's data with our daily current sales.Let's say the table's primary index is product type.The procedure recreates a skeleton of the table to make sure that it will add only those records whose product type is new to our database thus ignoring the rest of the records due to duplicate key violation error.Now this used to work in access where I used to get a message saying that only 200 out of 4000 records were added,3800 were ignored due to violation key errors. But in SQL Server, no records at all are being added.Is there a way to overcome this problem?? I tried using "set xact abort" but it only worked in case of foreign key violation but not primary key. I would really appreciate your inquiry. Thank you.
Hi guys I have a quick Q: I have two tables: tblOne ID/ PageName / Desc /URL 12/Home Page/This is the home page/www.fff.com tblTwo ID/ Name /Link 34/News Page/www.bbb.ie
I wish to create a new table or stored procedure to append one table(which has 4 colums) onto the other(which has only 3 columns) giving the following results: ID / Name /Link 12/Home Page/www.fff.com 34/News Page/www.bbb.ie
I would highly appreciate help to : I have two databases that are of the same schema but in one-database-A the records are a bit older than the other database-B. I would lilke to sync the records from database-B to database-A appending the records to database-A. The schemas have constraints,primary keys and other defaults in common.
What is the best way to do this task? I tried to use DTS but it fails throwing error Primary key violations on the tables.
I have a bcp command that works fine except that I want it to over write what is in the table rather than append to it. Is there a way to do this or another method I should try?
Hello all,Number of rows in a table was increased significantly. Is there a way to seewhether data was inserted in to the table, or whether data was appended tothe table?Thanks in advance,Do.--Message posted via http://www.sqlmonster.com
What would be the steps to create a SSIS job to append records from an ODBC table to a SQL table, adding only the records from the source that do not already exist in the destination?
I have another post on this subject, with a good suggestion for the approach, but I need some more detailed instructions for implementing it:
Have you considered to use a Lookup task in your data flow to check if the row already exists in the destination table and then use the error output (no matches) for inserting only non existing rows? Notice that the error output of the lookup task needs to be set as 'redirect rows' in order to get this behavior
I have a ChartReport that make a lot of chart, one for each page of report, this use as datasource myDataSet_Charts. I have a SummaryReport that make a table, only a page report, this use as datasource myDataSet_Charts too.

When calling my SELECT statement, I would like to have Column name and Data type as the first record. Is this possible to do? I would like to make a SP that would select all data from any table(with a header row) with just:
_sp_getData ' table_name'
I looked at sysobjects, and syscolumns tables, but was unable to put it all together. I have over 200+ tables, so creating variables for every column is very cumbersome.
Something like this:
select 0 AS SortCol , cast(min(case ordinal_position when 1 then column_name end) as varchar) as col1, cast(min(case ordinal_position when 2 then column_name end) as varchar) as col2, cast(min(case ordinal_position when 3 then column_name end) as varchar) as col3, cast(min(case ordinal_position when 4 then column_name end) as varchar) as col4, cast(min(case ordinal_position when 5 then column_name end) as varchar) as col5, cast(min(case ordinal_position when 6 then column_name end) as varchar) as col6, cast(min(case ordinal_position when 7 then column_name end) as varchar) as col7, cast(min(case ordinal_position when 8 then column_name end) as varchar) as col8, cast(min(case ordinal_position when 9 then column_name end) as varchar) as col9 from information_schema.columns where table_name = 'authors' union all select 1 , au_id, au_lname, au_fname, phone, address, city, state, zip, cast(contract as varchar) from authors
