Delete Records When You Have A Primary Key Of Two Columns

Jun 12, 2006

Hi everyone.

I have two tables: the catalog table and the detail table.
The two tables are joined by a two-columns key.

I want to make a Delete sentence for delete all the rows in the Catalog table that aren't in the detail table, in SQL Server.

The only problem is that the key is composed by two colums.

If the Key was maded of one column, that would be easy, like this:

DELETE FROM CATALOG
WHERE CATALOGKEY NOT IN (SELECT CATALOGKEY FROM DETAIL)

But it is possible to make a delete sentence if the key has two columns ?


Thanks

Delete Duplicate Records Without Primary Key

Feb 5, 2012

I want to delete the duplicate record from a table keeping 1 record aside.

My base table is-info

idnameclass
2abc6a
3abc6a
4abc6a
1abc6a
2abc6a
4abc6a
4abc6a
3abc6a
3abc6a
1abc6a
2abc6a
5abc6a

id-int
name-text
class-varchar
(there is no primary key in this table)

Now I want the result in following way:
idnameclass
2abc6a
3abc6a
4abc6a
1abc6a

I have tried the following query and its running fine but its not a dynamic stuff.

DELETE top (SELECT COUNT(*)-1 FROM aaa WHERE id ='3') --or put some number
FROM aaa
WHERE id ='3'-- or put some number

Delete Statement For A List Of Items With Multiple Columns Identifying Primary Key

Jul 7, 2006

I frequently have the problem where I have a list of items to delete ina temp table, such asProjectId Description------------- ----------------1 test12 test43 test34 test2And I want to delete all those items from another table.. What is thebest way to do that? If I use two IN clauses it will do it where itmatches anything in both, not the exact combination of the two. I can'tdo joins in a delete clause like an update, so how is this typicallyhandled?The only way I can see so far to get around it is to concatenate thecolumns like CAST(ProjectId as varchar) + '-' + Description and do anIN clause on that which is pretty nasty.Any better way?

Master Data Services :: Hard Delete All Soft Delete Records (members) In Database

May 19, 2012

I am using Master Data Service for couple of months now. I can load, update, merge and soft delete data in MDS. Occasionally we even have to hard delete data from MDS. If we keep on soft deleting records in a MDS table eventually there will be huge number of soft deleted records. Is there an easy way to hard delete all the soft deleted records from all MDS tables in a specific Model.

I have been trying to solve the locking problem from past couple of days. Please help mee!!

Scenario:

I have a SSIS package in which 2 data flow tasks. 1st data flow task deletes records from a 5 tables and the 2nd data flow task should insert records into 1 of the five tables after the success of 1st data flow task. This scenario runs in Transacation.

The above scenrio in the 2nd data flow task hangs in runtime. It does not complete. with sp_who2 command i could see that there is an intent share lock(LK_M_IS) on the table and the status is SUSPENDED.

I dont know how to come out of this locking. Please help.

How To Automatically Create New Records In A Foreign Table When Inserting Records In A Primary Table.

Sep 13, 2006

Ok, I'm really new at this, but I am looking for a way to automatically insert new records into tables.  I have one primary table with a primary key id that is automatically generated on insert and 3 other tables that have foreign keys pointing to the primary key.  Is there a way to automatically create new records in the foreign tables that will have the new id?  Would this be a job for a trigger, stored procedure?  I admit I haven't studied up on those yet--I am learning things as I need them. Thanks.

Primary Key On Two Columns

Apr 15, 2007

How can I create a primary key on two columns? I could not find any sensible code sample or description how it should be done. It is clear from MSDN that it is possible but there are no examples.



There is a textbox "Included Columns" in one of the tools for setting primary keys for one column but it does not allow me to enter anything.



Thanks.

How To Retrieve Primary Key Columns From Db?

Jan 12, 2007

Hello all.  I need to extract the column names that form the primary key group on a table in SQL Server.  I have a table called Account and it contains ten columns.  The primary key consists of two columns  - MasterAccountID, AccountID.  This primary key is a unique constraint and is clustered (it acts as an index as well as a primary key group).  I have tried the following to no avail:exec sp_pkeys Account   -> returns no rowsexec sp_helpindex Account -> throws an error stating that the object 'Account' does not existIf I run the following SQL statement, I can see all of the PK_* constraints in the database, so I know they are there:select * from information_schema.table_constraintswhere constraInt_type IN ('PRIMARY KEY','FOREIGN KEY') Again, I need to be able to specify a table name and have it return the columns (don't care if it returns extra fields) that make up the primary key fields for that table.  Thanks!

Sequence Of Columns In Primary Key

Oct 17, 2005

I am currently undertaking a review of the primary keys in a SQL Server2000 database with a view to improving performance of queries.I have heard that, in the case of compound primary keys, it isimportant to select the correct order for the columns within the key.For instance, imagine a table called OrderLine which has primary keycolumns as follows-LedgerOrderNumberOrderLineNumberThe theory I have heard is that columns with the most distinct valuesshould come first. In this case, Ledger is likely to have a maximum of6 distinct values, OrderNumber a maximum of 10 million and OrderLine upto 99. Based on this supposition I believe the best order would be-OrderNumberOrderLineNumberLedgerI have performed a few rudimentary tests that appear to bear this out.I was wondering if anyone else has tried something similar and if sowhat was the result?Thanks,Ross

Querying 9.5 Millions Records With No Primary Key

Sep 4, 2007



Hello all
quick question-- Im looking for the most effiecient way to extract data daily from a table with some 9.5 mill records and growing. These are transaction records and ideally I would like to bring over the last days transactions and add them to my existing table. I cannot use the transaction date as sometime we have to operate in an "Offline" mode where the records are brought over sometime later. This could be days are unfortunetaly a week or more. there are some 30 fields in the transaction table so is there a more efficient way to do this simply creating a concatenated key?? Would it be more effiecient to drop and recreate the table daily? that sounds extreme so wanted to get a few ideas.


Thanks in Advance

Delete Records ?

Jan 31, 2007

Hello, its hard to explain, i have a table like this: --userpage_visitors-- id bigint owner nvarchar(20) visitor nvarchar(20) created datetime
Then i have some code like this:  (@Visitor is send to the stored proc)DECLARE @lastuser nvarchar(20)SELECT TOP 1 @lastuser = visitor FROM userpage_visitors WHERE (owner = @UserName) ORDER BY created DESCIF (@lastuser <> @Visitor)BEGININSERT INTO userpage_visitors (owner, visitor, created) VALUES (@UserName, @Visitor, @Created)-- delete hereEND
Now after i have inserted the new visitor into the table, i need to clean the table... so each user should have maximum of 30 visitors, so if the user i inserted above is the 31st user then i need to delete the first user, so i always have 30 fresch visitors,, if they have less then 30 visitors then nothing should happen. The question is, how can i get the 31th post? in mysql you can say that you want post 30, 31, but in mssql you only have the TOP to select limited posts, any ideas?

Shouldn't The Order Of Records Be Based On The Key Or Primary Index?

Jun 11, 2007

I upsized an access database with a key / index on ordernumber and linenumber.

However if I open the table in the Management Studio the records aren't ordered this way (same goes for select * from table) I get:










Ordernumber
Linenumber

200724001
37

200724004
3

200724006
33

200724001
3

200724011
19

200724014
5

200724006
37

200724011
19

200724006
28



Same goes for my crystal reports files, since the records aren't ordered by ordernumber / linenumber all my formulas go bezerk..



Am I wrong thinking the records should be ordered according to the prim. index?

Please help because I don't want to have to change all my 40+ reports to include an "ORDER BY"



Best regards,



Mike
