Cursor Vs. Select

Using Select Statement Instead Of Cursor
Hi All, Can anyone please help?

TableA has data as below:

ssn sex dob rel_code
111111111 m 19500403 m
111111111 f 19570908 w
111111111 f 19770804 d
111111111 f 19801203 d
111111111 f 19869712 d
111111111 m 19870907 s
111111111 m 19901211 s

I have to convert the rel_code into a specific manner so the data will look as below in TableB:

ssn sex dob rel_code
111111111 m 19500403 01
111111111 f 19570908 02
111111111 f 19770804 20
111111111 f 19801203 21 111111111 f 19869712 22
111111111 m 19870907 30
111111111 m 19901211 31

Member's rel_code = 01
spouse's rel_code = 02
daughter's rel_code starts from 20 with the oldest and increments by 1.
Son's rel_code starts from 30 and increments by 1 from oldest to the youngest.

I know You can write a Sp with cursor and do this, but I would like to know if you can accomplish the same thing by a select or case or something else instead of a cursor.

Thanks in advance.

Select Statement In Cursor
Hi...


I have a stored procedure that rertrieves data from an sql database
and sends out a mail to each receipient who meets the criteria

I am using SQL mail.


I dynamically generate the where clause for my sql query based on criteria taken
from other stored procedures and store it in a varchar variable
called @sqlquery

When i have the following code to run my cursor

DECLARE overdue3 CURSOR
LOCAL FORWARD_ONLY
FOR SELECT DISTINCT Events.E_Name, Events.E_SDate, Events.E_City,
Events.E_ID FROM Events, IndustryEvents + @sqlquery2
OPEN overdue3

I get an error message at the '+' sign
which says, cannot use empty object or column names, use a single
space if necessary.

What should i do. i have tested the variable @sqlquery and it is
definately not blank. There is no bracket error or anything.

Please help!!!

Thanks much indeed

Ramesh

Another question for all you SQL experts, I have a lot of them. I am trying to select from a table wher some conditions need to be met based on an employee ID. What I am doing is when the rank is a 1,2, or 3 I pick up the text description of that rank. Can I make it so that I get the ID only once and all the text descriptions are on the same line. Here is the sql script along with my current output and my desired output.

CURSOR Select Clause
I need to dynamically construct the field order of a cursor based on fixed labels from another table, but when I put that resulting query I receive the error:

Server: Msg 16924, Level 16, State 1, Line 78
Cursorfetch: The number of variables declared in the INTO list must match that of selected columns.

I have 6 fields defined in the cursor select, and 6 parameters in the fetch. The results of running the @sql portion returns valid data. Should this be possible to define a parameter containing the select clause of the cursor?

select colnum, coldesc, colname into #ae_defs from ae_adefs
select @Sql = (select colname from #ae_defs where coldesc = 'PATIENT NAME') +
', ' +
(select colname from #ae_defs where coldesc = 'PATIENT NUMBER') +

(select colname from #ae_defs where coldesc = 'ACCOUNT NUMBER') +
', ' +
(select colname from #ae_defs where coldesc = 'VISIT DATE') +
', ' +
(select colname from #ae_defs where coldesc = 'VISIT TYPE') +
', DocID from ae_dtl1'

Dynamic Select For CURSOR
Hi all

I am trying to do dynamic Select for Cursor. The dynamic would be like this:
IF CONDITION1 IS TRUE:

Variable As Column In Cursor Select
I can't seem to get a cursor to work when I'm passing in a variable for a column name of the select statement. For example:

declare @col varchar(50)

set @col = 'Temperature'

declare notifycurs cursor scroll for
select @col from Table

Obviously this won't work correctly (since the result will simply be 'Temperature' instead of the actual float value for temperature). I tried to use quotes for the entire statement with an EXEC
(ie. exec('select '+@col+' from Table' )
but that gave me an error.

Is there a way to pass in a variable for a column name for a curor select statement????

Adding Variable To SELECT For CURSOR
I'm trying to build a select statement for a CURSOR where part of the SQL statement is built using a variable.
The following fails to parse:

Declare Cursor1 Cursor
For
'select table_name from ' + @database + '.Information_Schema.Tables Where Table_Type = ''Base Table'' order by Table_Name'
Open cursor1

That doesn't work, I've also tried using an Execute() statement, no luck there either. Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

How To Specify Which Database To Use For A Select Statement Within A Cursor?
Hi everyone,

I have been trying to perform the following task:

Using the sys.databases & sys.sysindexes views to display all the columns with a clustered index for all tables and all databases in a given server.  So the end result will have 3 columns:

Database name
Table name
Column name from that table with a clustered index

I have already created the following script which displays all the databases for a given server:

declare @DBname nvarchar(128)
declare testCursorForDB cursor
for
select name from sys.databases with (nolock)
where name not in ('master','tempdb','model','msdb')
order by name

open testCursorForDB
fetch next from testCursorForDB
into @DBname

while @@fetch_status = 0
begin
    print @DBname
    fetch next from testCursorForDB
    into @DBname
end

close testCursorForDB
deallocate testCursorForDB   

I also have created the following query which will display all the table and column names which have a clustered index for a given database:

select object_name(i.id) as TableName,

i.name as IndexName
from sys.sysindexes as i with (nolock)
where i.indid = '1'

However, what I need help/advice on is how do I combine these two together into one working script (either using nested cursors or a better way).  In other words, how can I specify which database to use (ie. using the "use database_name") so that my query above will be applied to each database found within the cursor.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks!

SELECT DISTINCT Will Always Result In A Static Cursor
an example for the pb
1)First i have created a dynamic cursor :

DECLARE authors_cursor CURSOR DYNAMIC
FOR Select DISTINCT LOCATION_EN AS "0Location" from am_location WHERE LOCATION_ID = 7
OPEN authors_cursor
FETCH first FROM authors_cursor

2)The result for this cursor is for expamle 'USA'.

3) If now i do an update on that location with a new value 'USA1'

update am_location set location_en = 'USA1' WHERE LOCATION_ID = 7

4)now if i fetch the cursor , i''ll get the old value (USA) not (USA1).

If i remove DISTINCT from the cursor declaration , the process works fine .

Incrementally Build Cursor Select Using CASE?
In Access/VB/DAO I can declare a string variable to contain my SELECT statement. If I do this I can build the string incrementally and finally open the cursor using OpenRecordset(strSQL). I'd like to be able to do this in SQL7. Let me illustrate:
In Access97:
Function Test(ByVal pstrOrder As String) As Boolean
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblEmployee "
Select Case pstrOrder
Case "Alpha"
strSQL = strSQL & "ORDER BY [LastName], [FirstName]"
Case "SSN"
strSQL = strSQL & "ORDER BY [SSN]"
End Select
db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
End Function

This is a very simple example....I have a lot of complex SELECT statements and I don't want to retype the same code in the same procedure that does ALMOST the same thing. I'm hoping to use something like the CASE construct:
DECLARE csrEmployee CURSOR
FOR SELECT * FROM tblEmployee
(CASE @pstrOrder
WHEN "Alpha" THEN ORDER BY LastName, FirstName
WHEN "SSN" THEN ORDER BY SSN
END)
Can anyone out there help?

Output Of Select Stament Into Variable Within Cursor
Within a cursor that I am building I would like to execute a select statement built from a varchar variable as such:

SELECT @BuildDBPageUsed = 'SELECT sum(reserved) FROM ' + @DatabaseName + '.dbo.sysindexes WHERE segment <> 2'

Next I execute the statement, which is now in the variable @BuildDBPageUsed. Such as:

EXEC (@BuildDBPageUsed)

The resulting output I need to set to another variable @DBPageUsed which is integer. I have been unsuccessful in finding the correct set of commands to do this. How should I build the command to input the results of the EXEC (@BuildDBPageUsed) into the integer variable @DBPageUsed?

*Thanks* for any help in this matter.

7         01/01/2007   Purchase                20                12000
 
I have a table when user add new sales or puchase will be added to this table ITEM_TXNS. The above date is part of the table for a ProductID . (The field is removed here)
In order  to calculate the balance amount using moving average, I must calculated the cost_out_amt first on the fly.
When user add new sales I also need to determine the cost/unit for a product id using moving average. The problem is I can not just use sum, because i need to determine cost_out_amt for each sales first which will be calculated on the fly.
The reason i dont store the cost_out_amt (instead calculate on the fly) because User could Edit the previous sales/purchase txn or Insert new sales for a previous date. Example THe record with ID 9. By Adding this txn with ID 9, would cause all the cost_out_amt will be incorrect (Using moving Average) if i store the cost_amout_out on entrying txn and need to be recalculated.
Instead I just want to calculate on the fly and able to determine the cost avr for a specific point of time.
Should I just use Cursor and loop all the record and calculate the cost or maybe I can just use on Select Statement?

Combing In A Cursor, A Select Statement With The WHERE Clause Stored In A Variable
Hi
I am ramesh here from go-events.com
I am using sql mail to send out emails to my mailing list


I have difficulty combining a select statement with a where clause stored in a variable inside a cursor

The users select the mail content and frequency of delivery and i deliver the mail

I use lots of queries and a stored procedure to retrieve thier preferences. In the end i use a cursor to send out mails to each of them.

Because my query is dynamic, the where clause of my select statement is stored in a variable. I have the following code
that does not work

For example

DECLARE overdue3 CURSOR
LOCAL FORWARD_ONLY
FOR SELECT DISTINCT Events.E_Name, Events.E_SDate, Events.E_City, Events.E_ID FROM Events, IndustryEvents + @sqlquery2
OPEN overdue3

I get an error message at the '+' sign
which says, cannot use empty object or column names, use a single
space if necessary

How do I combine the select statement with the where clause?

Help me...I need help urgently

Order By Clause In DECLARE CURSOR Select Statement Won't Compile
The stored procedure, below, results in this error when I try to compile...


Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure InsertImportedReportData, Line 69
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'ORDER'.

However the select statement itself runs perfectly well as a query, no errors.

The T-SQL manual says you can't use the keywords COMPUTE, COMPUTE BY, FOR BROWSE, and INTO in a cursor select statement, but nothing about plain old ORDER BYs.

What gives with this?

Thanks in advance

Dynamic Cursor Versus Forward Only Cursor Gives Poor Performance
Hello,I have a test database with table A containing 10,000 rows and a tableB containing 100,000 rows. Rows in B are "children" of rows in A -each row in A has 10 related rows in B (ie. B has a foreign key to A).Using ODBC I am executing the following loop 10,000 times, expressedbelow in pseudo-code:"select * from A order by a_pk option (fast 1)""fetch from A result set""select * from B where where fk_to_a = 'xxx' order by b_pk option(fast 1)""fetch from B result set" repeated 10 timesIn the above psueod-code 'xxx' is the primary key of the current Arow. NOTE: it is not a mistake that we are repeatedly doing the Aquery and retrieving only the first row.When the queries use fast-forward-only cursors this takes about 2.5minutes. When the queries use dynamic cursors this takes about 1 hour.Does anyone know why the dynamic cursor is killing performance?Because of the SQL Server ODBC driver it is not possible to havenested/multiple fast-forward-only cursors, hence I need to exploreother alternatives.I can only assume that a different query plan is getting constructedfor the dynamic cursor case versus the fast forward only cursor, but Ihave no way of finding out what that query plan is.All help appreciated.Kevin

Client Side Cursor Vs Sever Side Cursor?
I having a difficult time here trying to figure out what to do here.I need a way to scroll through a recordset and display the resultswith both forward and backward movement on a web page(PHP usingADO/COM)..I know that if I use a client side cursor all the records get shovedto the client everytime that stored procedure is executed..if thisdatabase grows big wont that be an issue?..I know that I can set up a server side cursor that will only send therecord I need to the front end but..Ive been reading around and a lot of people have been saying never touse a server side cursor because of peformance issues.So i guess im weighing network performance needs with the client sidecursor vs server performance with the server side cursor..I am reallyconfused..which one should I use?-Jim

Is This Possible Without A Cursor?
 I have something like
 update table
set field = ...
where field = ...
 and for each entry that was effected by this query I want to insert an entry into another table.
I have always done this with cursors is there a more effecient way?  For some reason cursors run a lot slower on my sql2005 server than the sql2000 server...

Need Help With A Cursor
I hope this is the appropriate forum for this question, if not then I apologize.
I've got a SQL Server 2000 stored procedure that returns data to be used in a crystal report in Visual Studio 2005.  Most of the stored procedure works well, but there is a point where I need to calculate an average number of days been a group of date pairs. 
I'm not familiar with cursors, but I think that I will need to use one to achieve the result I am looking for so I came up with the code below which is a snippet from my stored procedure.  In this part of the code, the sp looks at the temporary table #lmreport (which holds all of the data that is returned at the end to crystal) and for every row in the table where the terrid is 'T' (the territory is domestic), it selects all of those territories from the territory table and loops through them to determine the date averages (by calling a nested stored procedure, also included below) for each territory and then updates #lmreport with that data.
When I try to run the stored procedure, I get "The column prefix '#lmreport' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query." on the line indicated. 
Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong or if this will even work the way I need it to?
Thank you in advance.

Need Cursor Help
Hello, I'm trying to construct a cursor that will sequentually increment a number and then update a column with the incremented number. My propblem is that all the rows in the table are being updated with the base number +1. So all rows are updated with 278301. BUT, what I really want is for only the items with adrscode of 'bill to' to be given an incremented number.
For example, if there are only five rows of 100 with an adrscode = 'bill to' then only five rows will be updated and the value of the custnmbr should be, 278301, 278302, 278303 .....
I could really use some help with this cursor:
Declare @CustomerName as char (60),     @seqno as int,     @BaseSeqno as intset @Baseseqno = 278300
declare c cursor for select custnmbr from NXOFcustomers Where adrscode = 'BILL TO' order by custnmbropen cfetch next from c into @CustomerNamewhile @@fetch_status=0begin set @seqno = @BaseSeqno + 1
update NXOFcustomers set custnmbr = @seqnoWhere custnmbr = @CustomerName                    fetch next from c into @CustomerNameend close cdeallocate c

Is Cursor Best Way To Go?
I need to get two values from a complex SQL statement which returns a singlerecord and use those two values to update a single record in a table. Inorder to assign those two values to variables and then use those variablesin the UPDATE statement, I created a cursor and used Fetch Next.... Into.This way, I only have to call the complex SQL once instead of twice.This seems like the best way to go. However, I've always used cursors forscrolling through resultsets. In this case, though, there is just a singlerecord being returned, and the cursor doesn't scroll.Is that the most efficient way to go, or is there a better way to be able touse both values from the SQL statement without having to call it twice?Thanks.

To Use A Cursor Or To Not Use A Cursor
I need to loop through a set of records to build a string. I can dothis without using a cursor by inserting the records into a temporarytable with an identity column. Count the number of records in thetemporary table and loop though the table selecting the values andbuilding the string where the identity column = the loop number.Is this more or less efficient than just using a cursor? If so why isit more or less efficient?Please explain in detailThank You,Jim Lewis

Cursor Help PLEASE!
Yes, I know that cursors are gauche, but I can't see a solution usingqueries and I'm pretty adept at them. This will be running once a dayin the wee small hours when minimal server activity will be takingplace, it will be handling 700-1000ish records. The box is a P4/SQL2000 with lots of ram and multiple CPUs.The code for creating and populating the table in question follows thecursor code.The application is for medical transport billing. We take people tothe doctor and home again and the health plan pays us. A one-waytrip, home -> doctor, is a single ‘line item'. A round trip, home ->doctor -> home is rolled up, the charge summed, and billed as a singleline item. A three-leg, home -> doctor -> pharmacy -> home, is billedas three line items.This code is just for identifying the data, once this works correctlyI'll add the code in for doing the rollup and I'm confident I canhandle that.If I ruled the world, every leg of every trip would be a single lineitem and I wouldn't have to deal with this rollup BS, but I don't makethe policy, I just have to code it. <g>A trip is a round trip if the date, account number, and passenger nameis the same and the origin street of record X equals the destinationstreet of record X+1. The problem is that X+1 could be the start of around trip and X+2 could be the completing leg of a round trip. Soyou could have a scenario of hospital -> home -> doctor -> home inwhich X is one-way and X+1 & X+2 form a round trip.BLERG!

What Is A Cursor?
I had a friend write a stored procedure to perform a function for oneof my clients. What he wrote doesn't fully do what I need, and I hopeto finish it myself. I have programming sense, but not so much withSQL.I'm trying to figure out the code, and he has used something called a"cursor." I'm not sure whether this is an SQL construct or a structurethat he has just labeled "cursor." My guess is that it is an SQLconstruct. Can anyone give me a quick run down of how this works?sincerely,Tyler H.-----------------------------------------------<a href="http://www.seearoomhawaii.com/bed-breakfasts/">bed &breakfasts in Hawaii</a>

A want to use a Select sprocs (for re-use de code), but this sproc return 15 columns and the 3 a need was not the 3 frist. :confused:

Do I need to map the 15 columns with 15 variables locally? Or they have a way easier?

Can I Use SQL Instead Of Cursor?
Hi,

I'm currently converting a VB function to SQL-Server. The function uses a cursor to find the "terms of delivery" (TOD) with the highest priority.

I have a table with articlenumber, tod (and lots of other columns that doesn't matter now)

ABC123 , AFG
ABC123 , AFG
ABC123 , BGH
ABC123 , BGH
ABC123 , CDD

"CDD" has the highest priority and therefore ALL with the same articlenumber should use that tod.

The existing function uses a cursor and loops through a recordset and updates every row with the same articlenumber as the current row with the tod with the highest priority (of the ones read) with the same articlenumber.

One update per row takes "forever" to run...

I figured it would be possible to select the tod with the highest priority for one articlenumber into a temp table and then do ONE update to set the tod on all rows...

Can't Use Cursor With SP
Hi

I have a SP and in it I call another SP which returns one row in one column, I need to concatenate the value (varchar) to the query in the first SP.
I tried to use cursor with FAST_FORWARD to fetch the result and concatenate it, but I get an error, here is what I tried:

DECLARE Cur CURSOR FAST_FORWARD
FOR SP_Something @SomeValue

So is it possible to use cursor on SP ? And if it's possible so how ???

Thanks,

How To Do This Without Using A Cursor?
I am in the last stages of designing a forecasting "engine" for my company,
and I'm stuck on something that seems simple in comparison to everything
else I've done so far.

I have product ABC, and it's total sales forecast is 15 units.
I split the forecast into 2 different locations, based on an established percentage. In this case, I'll say 67% in location 'OH', and 33% in location 'AL' That's 10 units 'OH' and 5 units 'AL'. Then I get my actual orders by location, and compare them to the forecast.

If the orders exceed the forecast, I'll use orders, otherwise, I use forecast. Whenever I do that, I need to reduce the forecast for the other location, in order to keep the total forecast of 15 whole. (It is not possible for total orders to exceed total forecast, I've already dealt with that.)


CREATE PROCEDURE tempSelect
AS

CREATE TABLE #tmpTest (
parent char(2),
proj_ship real,
open_ord real,
)

insert into #tmpTest (parent, proj_ship, open_ord)
select 'OH', 10, 4

insert into #tmpTest (parent, proj_ship, open_ord)
select 'AL', 5, 7

SELECT PARENT, 'UNITS' = ???
FROM #TMPTEST

DROP TABLE #TMPTEST
GO


I need help with '???' in the query.

The result set I am looking for is:
OH 8
AL 7

Trying To NOT Use A Cursor...
I need to write a sproc to supply records for a report. The boss has asked
"Of all the tons on order right now, how much is already in inventory, and how much needs to be produced." And "Apply the same logic to just the orders that came in yesterday." It would have been easy, if he hadn't asked for the second part, because now I have to look at each product on each order, rather than comparing total orders for a product to total available inventory.

Here's some sample data for what I need to do:


CREATE TABLE ORDER_ITEM (
ORDER_NUM VARCHAR(10),
SHIP_DATE SMALLDATETIME,
PRODUCT VARCHAR(10),
ORD_TONS REAL)

INSERT INTO ORDER_ITEM (ORDER_NUM, SHIP_DATE, PRODUCT, ORD_TONS)
SELECT '001', '3/1/2006', 'ABC', 4 UNION ALL
SELECT '002', '3/4/2006', 'ABC', 2 UNION ALL
SELECT '002', '3/4/2006', 'DEF', 6 UNION ALL
SELECT '003', '3/7/2006', 'DEF', 8

CREATE TABLE PROD_INVENTORY (
PRODUCT VARCHAR(10),
INV_TONS REAL)

INSERT INTO PROD_INVENTORY (PRODUCT, INV_TONS)
SELECT 'ABC', 5 UNION ALL
SELECT 'DEF', 13



The final recordset needs to be something like:

PRODUCT ORDER_NUM ORD_TONS SFI SFP END_INV
ABC 001 4 4 0 1
ABC 002 2 1 1 0
DEF 002 6 6 0 7
DEF 003 8 7 1 0


SFI = Sales from Inventory
SFP = Sales from production

I need a little help in how to do a running inventory balance (END_INV)
for each item. Once I have that, then I can calculate SFI and SFP.
I could figure out how to do it with a cursor, but it
would probably be pretty slow. I'll have about 10,000 records to sort thru,
and of course there will be more columns than what I show here.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

SQL Cursor?
Hi all,

I have two tables with

IMPORT_TABLE (Imported from MS Excel) <-- Source table
Name
Address
City
State
Zip

CONTACT_TABLE: <-- Target Table
Full_Name
Address_Line1
City
State
Zip


I have to match the name from the Import table with the full_name in Contact table, if it matches, i have to update address / city / state / zip information in the Contact table if and only if corresponding columns in the target table (Contact table) is empty. If the name does not match, i have to insert a new record in contact table.

Should i use SQL cursor? If so could any one provide me with a sample solution?

Thanks in Advance,
Newbie

Msg 512 On Cursor
Everytime I execute this procedure it gives a msg 512 subquery returns more then one value. Can someone just explain why or what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance

Here is my code:

Cursor Help Please
Hi all!

I just need some help with cursors, a topic I don't profess to be an expert in.

I've got two tables with a 1-many relationship between them. Let's say they're "tblCustomers" and "tblOrders".

tblCustomers data:

CustomerID Name
1 Fred
2 Charlie
3 Lucy


tblOrders data:

OrderID CustomerId Qty
1 1 10
2 1 5
3 1 20
4 2 8
5 3 20
6 3 6


I need to return a result set that puts all the "many" records into a single row, like:

Name Qty

Fred 10, 15, 20
Charlie 8
Lucy 20, 6

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!!!!!!

Do I Really Need A Cursor?
I've built an application to import transactions into the database. Bad transactions go in a separate table and dupe transactions get updated. Currently, it takes about 2 hours to import ~40K records using the code below. Obviously I'd like this to run as fast as possible and since cursors are a real drag I was wondering if there was a more efficient way to accomplish this.

DECLARE
@contact_id int,
@product_code char(9),
@status_date datetime,
@business_code char(4),
@expire_date datetime,
@prod_status char(4),
@transaction_id int,
@emailAddress varchar(50),
@journal_id int

WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS = 0)

END
FETCH NEXT FROM transaction_import_cursor INTO @transaction_id, @product_code, @emailAddress, @status_date, @business_code, @expire_date, @prod_status
END
CLOSE transaction_import_cursor
DEALLOCATE transaction_import_cursor
COMMIT TRAN

A BUG In Cursor Or What Is Going On???
Hi, I have created a cursor to select 5 rows from a table , then I put the cursor in a store procedure, when I test the cursor the firt time I get correct results, but when I test it again in the same query window NOTHING happen?.... is this a BUG or am I doing something wrong, by the way, when I execute the procedure in another query window, I get it right. In conclusion, whenever I run the procedure more than once in the same query window the second try fails...but when I go to another query window it works.. I appreciate if anyone can explain why?

Cursor, Is It The Only Way?
Is using cursor the only way to do update in this case.
I'm updating TableA.ID with TableB.New_id where TableA.ID =
TableB.ID. TableA has 2.5 million records and TableB has 500,000
records. Doing it this way bring the system down to it's knees, and
is taking forever. Any suggestion are welcome.

declare mrn_cur cursor for
select dealer_ident, kealer_id
from dealer
for read only

declare @result int
declare @temp_ident int
declare @temp_id int
declare @temp_var int

open mrn_cur
fetch mrn_cur into @temp_ident, @temp_id

while (@@fetch_status = 0)
begin
begin transaction
update label
set dealer_id = @temp_ident
where dealer_id = @temp_id
commit tran
fetch mrn_cur into @temp_ident, @temp_id
end
close mrn_cur
deallocate mrn_cur

Cursor Help!
This is what I am trying to do:

Table 1 has numerous resume's for each person. Each resume has a unique id.
ie: Table 1
res_id fname lname userid pwd address city state etc...
100 John Doe jd ok xxxx xxxx xx xxxx
104 Sally May sm sm ccccc cc c cc ccc
643 John Doe jd ok ssss null null
1003 John Doe jd ok 123 elm Nome AK ...
5000 Tom Cat tc tc null null null

I need to insert into Table 2 only the demographic information for each person appearing in Table 1. The catch is that Table 2 doesn't have the same unique id that appears in Table 1. userid and pwd are unique to Table 2 but are numerous in Table 1.

Table 2
new_ident userid pwd address city state etc..
10 jd ok 123 elm Nome AK ....
11 Sally May sm sm ccccc cc c cc ccc
12 Tom Cat tc tc null null null


Basically I need to choose the most current "max(res_id)" occurance for John Doe above to get only one row out of his three rows. Then I need to get all the other unique rows from table 1.

I hope that is clear. I was considering a cursor. Any ideas??
