I have a LIVE SQL 2000 database. I am trying to add some new columns to a table. My question is will I need to take the database off-line to perform this operation? I have replicated it to a sample table if I can't.

Is there any way or option to get the all columns of dataset added to table when we add a table in data region. It will take lot of time to add one by one and also there are chances to add one column ore than once.

how do i add columns to an existing table?
View 1 Replies View RelatedDear Friends,
what is best and quicker way to add 500 columns to existing table having 145 columns already.
Is there any way to avoid manual work of adding columns one by one in design mode or using script.
I have a TXT file (comma delimited) that contains all those columns names as a first row,but I am not sure if i can use DTS package to create table design having such sourcre TXT file.
Any advice?

I have a table. I want to add 2 date columns. One when we are inserting any record it will show and another whenever the record updated to record that.
I want to insert dummy data for the previous dates. How to insert those dummy dates in batch wise?
I am planning to add some new columns to an existing sql server 2012 table. I know that I need to use the alter statement to accomplish this goal. However my questions is the location of where I want to add the new columns to the table. It would make more sense to add the new columns to the middle of the table since these columns have a similar meaning as other columns in the middle of the table.
However is it better to add these new columns at the end of the table? I am asking this question since I am thinking I might need some sql to move the values of existing columns and values around?
Thus is it better to add new columns to a table in the middle of the table, at the end of the table, or at the end of the table? If so, why one location is better than another location?
When I add three columns to a table, they always go to the end of it.
I want to add a column as the third of the table, the second column that I want to add needs to be at the fifth place.
How can I do this using t-sql?
Is this possible?
Is there a good way to add columns to a table type?
I built several procs which make use of table-valued-parameters, and they work pretty nicely, until I need them to accept additional columns. Then I have to drop all the procs that use them, alter the types, and rebuild all the procedures, which is a huge pain in the rear.
Is there any good way (built in, or custom) to alter the def of a table type that's used as a parameter to multiple stored procedures?

Adding more columns in a matrix report that don€™t
belong to the columns drilldown dimensions€¦
That is, for example, having the following report:
Product Family
Product
Country City Number of units sold
Then I
would add some ratios, that is, Units Sold/Months (sold per month) and other that
is the average for Product Family (Units Sold/Number of Product Family), for putting an example€¦ some
columns should be precalculated prior to the report so do not get into it, the
real problem I don€™t see how to solve is adding one or two columns for showing
these calculated column that doesn€™t depend on the column groups but they do
for the rows groups€¦
Any guidance
on that?
The only
way I am seeing by now is to set it as two different reports, and that is not
what my client wants€¦
Many
thanks,
Jose
What is the SQL syntax for adding a column to an already created DB table?

I am quite new to the delights of SQL and wondered if some professional could suggest the best approach to tackling the following problem:
If I had the following table:
Runner Result1 Result2 Result3 Result4
Dave 4 4 3 2
Phil 2 3 3 3
Derek 2 4 6 7
And I wanted to add and display a column that would display “best 3 total results�, such as:
Runner Result1 Result2 Result3 Result4 Best3
Dave 4 4 3 2 11
Phil 2 3 3 3 9
Derek 2 4 6 7 17
Any help would be really appreciated.
I would be using asp.net vb.net and sqlserver2003
Is there a way to add two columns (with numbers) that have already been aliased? I summed the two columns separately, and also want to display a third colum that show the sum of the two already summed columns. Any help is appreciated. thanks.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi, hope someone can help me with this, I have something like this:
sum(per1) as period1, sum(per2) as period2, sum(per3) as period3
And I want to add all the periodX toghether, how can I do it?
On my real SQL query the SUM statement is more complex, with some cases and such.
Also can I divide this result by a number?
I have this code and it should bring back code for the month i put in in the set statement. When i put in say may i need to add up numbers for all months prior in the total projections call em and im lost
Declare @Division as Varchar(15)
Declare @Date as Varchar(7)
Set @Division = 'Del Sol'
Set @Date = '05/2008'
Select [Month], Sum(Projection) as ProjectionTotal
From Reporting.dbo.RetailSalesComparison_ProjectionsView PV
Inner Join DelsolNet2.dbo.StoreGroup SG on PV.StoreID = OrderStoreID
Where @Division = Case DivisionID When 10 then 'Del Sol'
When 11 then 'Cariloha'
When 12 then 'Sol Kids' else 'Notta' End
and Month([Month]) = Left(@Date,2) and Year([Month]) = Right(@Date,4)
Group By [Month]
So I have been trying to get mySQL query to work for a large database that I have. I have (lets say) two tables Table_One and Table_Two. Table_One has three columns: Type, Animal and TestID and Table_Two has 2 columns Test_Name and Test_ID. Example with values is below:
**TABLE_ONE**
Type Animal TestID
-----------------------------------------
Mammal Goat 1
Fish Cod 1
Bird Chicken 1
Reptile Snake 1
Bird Crow 2
Mammal Cow 2
Bird Ostrich 3
**Table_Two**
Test_name TestID
-------------------------
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_2 2
Test_2 2
Test_3 3
In Table_One all types come under one column and the values of all Types (Mammal, Fish, Bird, Reptile) come under another column (Animals). Table_One and Two can be linked by Test_ID
I am trying to create a table such as shown below:
Test_Name Bird Reptile Mammal Fish
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Test_1 Chicken Snake Goat Cod
Test_2 Crow Cow
Test_3 Ostrich
This should be my final table. The approach I am currently using is to make multiple instances of Table_One and using joins to form this final table. So the column Bird, Reptile, Mammal and Fish all come from a different copy of Table_one.
For e.g
Select
Test_Name AS 'Test_Name',
Table_Bird.Animal AS 'Birds',
Table_Mammal.Animal AS 'Mammal',
Table_Reptile.Animal AS 'Reptile,
Table_Fish.Animal AS 'Fish'
From Table_One
[Code] .....
The problem with this query is it only works when all entries for Birds, Mammals, Reptiles and Fish have some value. If one field is empty as for Test_Two or Test_Three, it doesn't return that record. I used Or instead of And in the WHERE clause but that didn't work as well.
I am familiar with the ALTER TABLE syntax that can be used to add columns to an existing table, but the columns are appended to the end of the table. Enterprise Manager allows you to insert a column in the desired place in the table, but I suspect that behind the scenes it creates a temp table with the new structure, drops the old version of the table and renames the temp table to the orginal table name (I could be wrong on this).
Is there a way to insert a new column in a specific place in a table using SQL rather than EM?
I have a table with 6 columns. which we can call a, b, c, d, e, f. What I want to achieve is to put data in column d and e and then split this result in column f.
The data I want to put in column d and e is already exported and executed from a table called exp_data, which is from a period of november.
So this is what i have so far but is not working:
update split_table set d =
select amount from exp_data
where period = '1111'
and exp_data.account = split_table.b
and exp_data.company = split_table.a
The error I get is incorrect syntax near select. Fixed the issue by adding a parenthesis before the select until the end...
I have a report that looks like the following
NameCity Client NoAccount No Balance
SmithSydney 1234561258792 3.95
JonesMelbourne 2589641000657 9.54
BrownPerth 9876541000879 5.46
BrownPerth 9876541000880 7.51
WhiteSydney 6548521007562 10.65
HOWEVER I need it to look like the following:
NameCity Client NoAccount No BalanceAccount No Balance
SmithSydney 1234561258792 3.95
JonesMelbourne 2589641000657 9.54
BrownPerth 9876541000879 5.461000880 7.51
WhiteSydney 6548521007562 10.65
The requirement is that if the Client No is the same that the Account No and Balance appear on the same row but just additional columns. There is no restriction on how many extra columns there would be.
Once the query is working it needs to go into Visual Studio so that the report can be set up as a subscription.
Hi!
I have one table with thousands of records. Now, I have to add one more column to that table. And this new column will contain concatination of two columns in that same table. Is there any command to do this?
My table has two columns as 'file', 'extn', now i want to add 'fullname' column to that table, and it will contain the concatinated value of 'file' and 'extn'. If the 'file' field has one record as "myfile", 'extn' has one record as ".doc", I want to insert "myfile.doc" in the new column 'fullname'. Like this my table has thousands of records. How can i do this? Please help me! Thanks in advance!
HiI have a table that currently has 466 columns and about 700,000records. Adding a new DEFAULT column to this table takes a long time.It it a lot faster to recreate the table with the new columns and thencopy all of the data across.As far as I am aware when you add a DEFAULT column the followinghappens:a) The column is added with a NULL propertyb) Each row is updated to be set to the DEFAULT valuec) The column is changed to NOT NULL.However, adding the column as NOT NULL with the DEFAULT seems to take alot longer than if I do steps a) - c) separately.When I say a long time, adding just a single DEFAULT column takesaround 6 hours. Surely it should not take this long?There is a trigger on this table but disabling this does not seem tomake much difference.Can anybody give me any advice on the use of DEFAULT columns please?When should they be used, benefits, disadvantages, alternatives etc.Also should it really take as long as it is taking or is there aproblem with my setup?If I am honest I can't see why DEFAULT columns should be used as thevalues could always be inserted explicitly via the applicationThanks in Advance.Paul

I'm am using SQL Server 2005 Express on my home PC.
To practice some of the SQL skills I learned on a course I was recently on, I am trying to build a mini database which I can run some queries from.
I have created some tables and added columns to these tables. However, I cannot find how to add data to these columns.
I'm sure it's pretty simple but I just can't find it! Can anyone help??
Cheers!
Dear All,
I have a requirement, in which i have to add columns dynamically depending the records of a master table in sql server 2000.
Pl, do help me
I was wondering what is the best way to have a amount paid total from amounts entered to a specific id or column? I am using SQL 2005. I need to be able to tally the total amount paid and put that value in another column called amount paid. Any help would be great.
Thanks,
I've written this procedure that is a meta data manager if you will. It looks at a vocabulary table and will create or alter tables to be in line with the meta data. It works great and has for a couple of years now. However, I just rewrote it in an effort to make it more compact, efficient, etc. Now, our system uses at least three databases. One contains shared data, the next holds only system data for the app like individual user settings, etc (atslogin is the name) then would be an actual database for client data or accounts as we call them. Clients could have one or 100 of those. Please, no comments about moving everything in to one DB as that is not always possible to to hierarchy of multiple business models.
Now, on to the issue. This procedure used to exists in the local database (one or many) now I keep it in atslogin so in effect, it looks "down" on all other databases and does it's thing. It adds columns, expands them, creates tables, views, keys blah blah blah.
Here is the issue. When it creates a new column the ordinal position is out of whack. I've got a table where I keep dropping the last column, run my procedure to add it and find that the ordinal position has increased by one each time. Add it and the value is 48 for example. Drop it and add it again and it is now 49 and all the while there is a gap between say 47 and 49. This is being written to syscolumns and the view INFORMATION_SCHEMA.[columns].
This is a big deal because if I find columns are out of order I wont attempt to alter the table. Trouble is the columns are in the proper order, I just can buy what the system is saying. Anyone ever seen this? Even if I add a column as the db owner I'm seeing this. This is SQL 2k. Below is the exact version

I have a table called approval_levels in which I have 2 columns:
|LEVEL_ID |NAME |
|1 |app_level_1 |
|2 |app_level_2 |
|3 |app_level_3 |
I have a second table called requests, in which I have 3 columns:
|REQUEST_ID |PRODUCT_NAME |MANUFACTURER |
|1 |wd-40 |Acme |
|2 |Windex |Acme |
|3 |Propane |Acme |
I have a third table which links the two called request_approvals which has 2 columns: REQUEST_ID, LEVEL_ID. When a request is approved for a specific level, I insert a value into this table. So, for example, lets say request 1 has been approved for all 3 levels, request 2 has been approved for only level 1, and request 3 has been approved for level 3, the table would show something like this.
|REQUEST_ID |LEVEL_ID |
|1 |1 |
|1 |2 |
|1 |3 |
|2 |1 |
|3 |3 |
Ok, so here the challenge: I need to show in a report all the requests, create a columns for each level and show whether or not that request is approved for that level. The end result has to be something like this:
|REQUEST_ID |PRODUCT_NAME |MANUFACTURER |app_level_1 |app_level_2 |app_level_3 |
|1 |wd-40 |Acme |X |X |X |
|2 |Windex |Acme |X | | |
|3 |Propane |Acme | | |X |
Keep in mind that if another value is added to the approval_levels table (ie app_level_4), I need to add another column to the table call app_level_4 dynamically.Now, how in the world do I do something like this?
