Delete/Move Certain Info From Column - Leave The Rest?
Nov 10, 2005
I have a column that contains extra info that needs to be moved to another column or deleted alltogether. is there a way to select these items and move them to another column, leaving the rest of the data in the original column?
EXAMPLE
MYTABLE >COLUMN1
May have Data Like: ABCDE123 SER1 or XYZ12DEFSer1:1
WHAT I NEED TO DO IS
Move anything after the SER1 to a new column and retain the rest of the data in the original column. making it look something like this:
COL1 COL2
ABCDE123 SER1
XYZ12DEF Ser1:1
Another question is if there is a way to delete extra spaces? Like make all data that has two or more extra spaces, just single spaces and any additional spacing after a row of data, delete all additional spaces after the last letter/character/number.
One more question - What would be a great resource to learn MS SQL in more depth?
I am trying to learn ASP/VBScript/JavaScript/ and now MS SQL all at once b/c this is what my business depends on. Trying to be 5,000 hats at once can get confusing and overwhelming, so I am looking for any "Crash course" I can to learn as much, as fast as possible. Any direction or ideas?
Thank you.

Hello all,
Ive been tasked with writing a SQL query to move information from 2 tables(old1 and old2) into 1(new). table new already has all the information from old1, but also has some additional columns that are encompassed from old2. Also some of the columns in table new need to be assigned a 1 or a 0 if the information is present in old2. Here is what I came up with:
UPDATE new
SET new.IsRentalLocation = 1
new.IsMainCampus = 1
new.IsLearningCenter = 1
new.IsStudentResource = 1
new.AlternateStateDisp = 0
new.Directions = tbl_old2.Directions
new.Catering = tbl_old2.Catering
new.Lab = tbl_old2.Lab
FROM new, old1, old2
WHERE new.CampusID = old1.CampusID
AND old1.LearningCenterID = old2.LearningCenterID
Does this look right? or should I be using an insert command?

Hello All.
I just made some huge changes to a database on the development computer. However, I want to transfer all of the information from the Employees table in the old DB to the new DB (no changes made on that table).
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I need to remove log segment of one database from current position to another drive. The current log segment is used by two databases. This was created by mistake. Now we need to fix the problem and create another log segment for the other database. If we keep the log setment as is, we will have problems deleting one of the databases in the future.
Thanks for your help,
Ana.

I am using SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition. I have a requirement to instantaneously move data from 3 tables that are dependent on each other in a database to another database to same tables with same structure and dependencies.
I can set up replication to manage this. However the data once moved over has to be deleted from the source database immediately after the move. Hence replication is ruled out. Also data is continuously being insert into source database into those 3 tables.
I want to create a sql agent job that handles the data move and delete process and shcedule it to run once every minute. What is a best strategy to handle this without causing deadlocks in the source database?Below is the ddl and all objects in source database match the destination database the only difference is destination has 100 tables and source has only 3 tables which are shown below
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[StackPosition](
[StackPositionId] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
[AccountTriggerId] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
[StackPositionStatusId] [int] NOT NULL,
[QueuedAt] [datetime] NOT NULL,
[LastUpdatedAt] [datetime] NULL,
[Code] ....

I am using SQL Server 2012 SE.I am trying to delete rows from a couple of tables (GetPersonValue has 250 million rows and I am trying to delete 50Million rows and GetPerson has 35 Million rows and I am trying to delete 20 million rows). These tables are in TX replication.The plan is to delete data older than 400 days old.
I tried to move data to new tables from the last 400 days and it took me like 11 hours. If I delete data in chunks of 500000 then its taking a long time to rebuild indexes(delete plus rebuild indexes 13 hours). Since I am using standard edition partition wont work.
find ddl below:
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[GetPerson](
[GetPersonId] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
[LinedActivityPersonId] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
[CTName] [nvarchar](100) NULL,
[SNum] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[PHPrimary] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[code]....

Just a query, I have several tables that have bigint identity columns, I need to know what will happen when it reaches the upper limit. It will be most likely that earlier id fields have been deleted by the time it reaches the upper limit, so will it reuse numbers?
Cheers

need some help converting a table which has one row for each year. Displaying the data so the each row will contain all of the information for the title and all of the years displayed in separate columns.
I have a SQL Querry which returns the data looking like this (the querry is grouping by Title and by year, then adding up the quantity of rows):
Basic Information needed for Life Insurance 25 2005
Basic Information needed for Life Insurance 45 2006
Ea Chairmans Conference 10 2005
EA Chairmans Conference Press Release 33 2005
EA Chairmans Conference Press Release 21 2006
EA Chairmans Inner Circle Press Release 16 2005
EA Chairmans Inner Circle Press Release 46 2006
EA Honor Ring Press Release 13 2005
EA Honor Ring Press Release 35 2006
EA National Conference Press Release 6 2005
EA National Conference Press Release 9 2006
I need this data displayed like this:
Title 2005 2006
Basic Information needed for Life Insurance 25 45
Ea Chairmans Conference 10 10
EA Chairmans Conference Press Release 33 21
EA Chairmans Inner Circle Press Release 16 46
EA Honor Ring Press Release 13 35
EA National Conference Press Release 6 9
What I want to do is to basically say:
If Row 1 Title = Row 2 Title and Row 1 Year = Row 2 (Year + 1)) Then
add to grid Row 1 Title, Row 1 Qty, Row 2 Qty
Skip Row 2 and go to Row 3 (repeat this step until end of data)
End
Is there any way in the SQL querry to retrieve this data in this format so that I can display it in a datagrid?
Is there any way to display the data in this pattern.
Below is the code I am using now, but since the moving of the data is done in code it is very slow.
****************** Global Variables
Dim dbName As String = "Region_Web_Page_Hits"
Dim ColumnCount As Integer
Function ReturnColumnHeaderAndHitsDataSet() As System.Data.DataSet
'******** This will bring back the column Headers and Gross Hits per Column
Dim ColumnHeaderAndHitsQueryString As String = "SELECT DISTINCT TOP 100 PERCENT " & _
"YEAR(dat_Date) AS str_Year, COUNT(str_PageName) AS int_YearHits " & _
"FROM dbo.tbl_web_page_hits " & _
"WHERE (str_URL LIKE N'%press_Release%') " & _
"GROUP BY YEAR(dat_Date) " & _
"HAVING (Not (Year(dat_Date) Is NULL)) " & _
"ORDER BY YEAR(dat_Date)"
Dim ColumnHeaderAndHitsDataSet = LoadDataArray(ColumnHeaderAndHitsQueryString, dbName)
Return ColumnHeaderAndHitsDataSet
End Function
Function ReturnTableDataSet() As System.Data.DataSet
'This query string will return the data needed to display the report.
Dim TableQueryString As String = "SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT " & _
"str_PageName, COUNT (str_PageName) AS int_Hits, YEAR(dat_Date) AS str_Year " & _
"FROM dbo.tbl_web_page_hits WHERE str_URL LIKE '%Press_Release%' " & _
"GROUP BY str_PageName, YEAR(dat_Date) ORDER BY str_PageName"
Dim TableDataSet = LoadDataArray(TableQueryString, dbName)
ColumnCount = TableDataSet.Tables(0).Columns.Count
Return TableDataSet
End Function
'******* Function to Load the Data Array
Function LoadDataArray(ByVal queryString, ByVal dbName) As System.Data.DataSet
Dim ConnectionString As String = ConnectionStr(dbName)
Dim sqlConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(ConnectionString)
Dim sqlCommand As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(queryString, sqlConnection)
Dim dataAdapter As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter(sqlCommand)
Dim dataSet As DataSet = New DataSet
dataAdapter.Fill(dataSet)
sqlConnection.Close()
Return dataSet
End Function
Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
Dim Sort_Field As String = ""
dg_Data.DataSource = QueryMethod(Sort_Field)
dg_Data.DataBind()
End If
End Sub
Currently I have a bunch of Classic ASP code which puts the data in to an array and then into a table with a series of if statments, but it is really slow.
I want to bind it to a data grid and if possible let the SQL statement format the data for me.

I have one table that has unique id's associated with each row of information. I want to delete rows of information in one table that have a unique ID that references information in another table.
Here is a basic breakdown of what I am trying to do:
Table1 (the table where the rows need to be deleted from)
Column_x (Holds the id that is unique to the various rows of data - User ID)
Table2 (Holds the user information & has the associated ID)
Column_z (holds the User ID)
I tried this on a test set of tables and could not get it to work. What I am trying to do is skip all rows of Table1 that have ID's present in Table2, and delete the rows of ID's that are not present in Table2.
Code:
SELECT Column_z
FROM dbo.Table2
DELETE FROM dbo.Table1
WHERE Column_z <> Column_x
This did not seem to do what I needed, it did not delete any rows at all.
I wanted it to delete all rows in Table1 that did not have a reference to a user ID that matched any ID's in Column_z of Table2
Then I tried another scenerio that I also needed to do:
Code:
SELECT Column_z, Column_a
FROM dbo.Table2
DELETE FROM dbo.Table1
WHERE Column_z = Column_x AND Column_a='0'
'0' being the user id is inactive so I wanted to delete rows in Table1 and remove all references to users that were in an inactive status in Table2.
Neither one of the Queries wanted to work for me in the Query Analyzer when I ran them. It just said (0) rows affected.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong here?

I wrote this query to pull some information involving 3 tables dbo.NewFamNbrs$, dbo.CGIItemMaster and dbo.CGIFamilyMaster. In addition I want to perform an update statement to update column dbo.CGIItemMaster.FamilyIDX with the information of dbo.CGIFamilyMaster.IDX. I also know that truncation is indicating that I'm trying to insert data into a field not large enough. So I performed a len() function on the both columns and order by desc and they both came up with 4 as being the max.
Query:
SELECT a.PART, a.Family, b.FamilyIDX, c.FamilyID, c.IDX
FROM dbo.NewFamNbrs$ a LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.CGIFamilyMaster c ON a.Family = c.FamilyID LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.CGIItemMaster b ON a.PART = b.PART
Results of query:
PART Family FamilyIDX FamilyID IDX
000127233TF011468 TF01 506
000129880TF011468 TF01 506
003110 MET061468 MET06 1915
UPDATE STATEMENT:
begin tran
update dbo.CGIItemMaster
set FamilyIDX=c.IDX
FROM dbo.NewFamNbrs$ a LEFT OUTER JOIN
CGIFamilyMaster c ON a.Family = c.FamilyID LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.CGIItemMaster b ON a.PART = b.PART

Hello, I have always closed my db connections asap after opening them and have always thought this was the best practice. But now I am wondering if I can just leave the connection open.
I created a windows service which runs on a timer and executes every 5 seconds. The problem is that the code takes longer than that to process and the code may be executing three times at once. Im worried that since I use the same connection each time the code executes that a connection opened by the first run through may be closed or reopened by the second or third running of the code resulting in an error. The connection is opened and closed about 10 times each time the timer event fires. Should I open the connection once and leave it open when the service is started and close it when it is stopped or on any error?
Thanks

Okay, after I got everything imported, I found that a few thousand columns had "Shifted" on me. So now I am trying to "Shift them over" to where they need to be.
I did this:
INSERT INTO dbo.TABLENAME (COLUMN_NAME_TO_BE POPULATED)
SELECT COLUM_NAME_OF_INFO_TO_BE_MOVED
FROM dbo.TABLENAME
WHERE MFG = 'MANUFACTURER_NAME' AND PN LIKE '8888888888'
GO
I populated the PN column with 8888888888 to use as a reference point, and the MFG column already was populated with the correct name, so I was using those as my unique reference points.
Other columns that have the same MFG name are correct, so I have to use two unique identifiers to specify the actual data that needs to be moved.
It inserted 'NULL' in the whole table after I ran it in the Query Analyzer. It appeared to disregard the WHERE statement all together
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong here?
Is there a way to move the data from one column to the next one over by specifying other WHERE criterias?

I am looking for a solution to move all Part Numbers for a specific manufacturer that is 9 digits long to a new column.
Let me explain............
I have a product table that has three columns of product codes associated with that product (Part Number as PN, Series as Series, and Industry Code as ICDE). I now want to create a fourth column (Manufacturer Code as MCDE) as my database has grown for another product specific numerical designator that is specific for one manufacturer.
Currently I have the specific 9 digit codes in the same column as the Part Numbers, though they all have their specific rows (Part Numbers & Manufacturer Codes are not in the same cell).
Now the Part Numbers have various numbers, letters, and special characters, but the specific 9 digit manufacturer codes are pure numbers.
So my question is............
How does one go about moving these specific 9 digit codes to their new column and out of the Part Number column?
They will all be exactly 9 digits, no special characters, no letters, no spaces.
Is there a way to tell MS SQL to just move anything for that specific manufacturer that has the 9 digit manufacturer numbers to the new column, bypassing anything with letters, special characters or any part number that is not a pure 9 digit number?

I have two tables. They both have an identity field to join them together. One of the tables has a column of data that I want to put in the other table. I need to make sure the data is brought over using the join so it updates that column for the right record.
I am struggling with this. Should I use a update or an insert? I'm leaning toward update but I can't figure out how with the join.
This is what I have tried so far:
Update grpcon.GroupID = groups.GroupID
from grpcon Inner Join groups
on grpcon.GroupNum=groups.GroupNum

I am used to writing applications that hit the database "every so often" and am happy with opening and closing the connection to SQL Server for each one.
I am now writing an application that monitors a table where rows are written to it by a 3rd party application at possibly several rows per second. My job is to "pickup" those rows, analyse the data and move them to different tables. This will be done with a timer which is currently set to tick every second.
My question is: At what stage should I start to think about keeping open a permanent connection to the database ?
1 row per second ?
100 rows per second ?
Any suggestions appreciated.
Steve.

page height 21cm
all margins 1cm
My report when rendered to the screen outputs the correct number off pages...HOWEVER when i export it to adobe i get a trailing blank page which accompanies each page break.
Can anyone please help ?
My report has a table which is bounded to a list with separate fields at the top of the list specifying the username in a text field and the table displays the user details, For each user there is a page break.
I have notice when i got rid off the list everything is ok, however the list seems to be within the boundaries of the report

I know that with traditional SQL systems, it is important to only open connections to a sql server when they are needed. However, since there is no "server" in mobile apps, is it bad practice to leave one open throughout the duration of an application?
The application is going to be constantly reading and writing to the data tables and it seems like it might be a good idea to leave it open.
Thanks!

I need to create a dynamic top count of customers, plus the rest. I've seen many posts on this, however the difference I want is that the rest needs to be expandable to show what customers actually make up the rest category. For example:
Top
Cust1
Cust5
Cust2
Rest
Cust3
Cust4
I was thinking potentially the top/rest could be a shell dimension and then scope on these members to show the top and rest, however I haven't been able to achieve this.
