Hi
I have to delete the value of acktitle where ackby = null
I tried using update but its not helping me i tried doing
update incidents(table name)
set acktitle = null where ackby = null
its not giving me any results thats why i thought of delecting but delete syntax removes the whole row
How should i go about it
I have to Make Department Table.
But this there names can be in multi language.
--------------------------------------------DepartmentGroup--------------------------------------------DepartmentGroupId (P.K.)UniqueNameCreatedDateModifiedDate--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------Department--------------------------------------------DepartmentId (P.K.)NativeNameNavigateUrlIsFavoriteLanguageId (F.K.)DepartmentGroupId (F.K.)IsVisibleCreatedDateModifiedDate--------------------------------------------
From this design we can move to same department in different language.
is it right?
Our databases were working fine in terms of performance until over the last 2 months wherein the timeouts and deadlocks have started increasing. We are having growing clients with huge real-time transactions. We have been adding NOLOCKs on queries that are being used frequently etc but the timeouts are still an issue. Not sure what the best way to identify problem areas is. The CPU utilization has also been on the higher side. Profiler identified long queries are being indexed etc. But the performance is still a concern. Any ideas? What am i not looking at? HELP HELP..
Thanks,

I need to build an SQL query, which generates the random rows priority wise.
I found this on following article.
http://articlesdotnet.blogspot.com/2007/09/random-rows-in-respect-to-their.html
Can anyone test it?
In addition, tell me.
Is it good or have a bug?
If anyone have the better query then please tell me.
Im using , FORMAT_STRING="###,###.##" on the definition of a calculated member. When testing the query in SSMS, the formatting looks right, but when I run the query in SSRS it looks like its not coming over. I suppose I can apply my own formatting on the report, but im just wondering if this is by design or lack of ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a query in and OLEDB Source which results in incorrect rows returned due to its structure:
SELECT table1.ABCD, table2.BAAA, table3.CAAA, table4.DAAA, table5.EAAAFROM table1LEFT OUTER JOINtable3 ON table1.ABCD = table3.BCDE LEFT OUTER JOINtable4 ON table1.ABCD = table4.CDEF LEFT OUTER JOINtable5 ON table1.ABCD = table5.DEFG LEFT OUTER JOINtable2 ON table1.ABCD = table2.EFGHWHEREtable1.extractSession = ?AND table3.extractSession = ?AND table4.extractSession = ?AND table5.extractSession = ?AND table2.extractSession = ?
The correct query needs to be the following, but it won't work in the OLE DB Source:
SELECT table1.ABCD, table2.BAAA, table3.CAAA, table4.DAAA, table5.EAAAFROM table1LEFT OUTER JOINtable3 ON table1.ABCD = table3.BCDE AND table3.extractSession = ?LEFT OUTER JOINtable4 ON table1.ABCD = table4.CDEF AND table4.extractSession = ?LEFT OUTER JOINtable5 ON table1.ABCD = table5.DEFG AND table5.extractSession = ?LEFT OUTER JOINtable2 ON table1.ABCD = table2.EFGH AND table2.extractSession = ?WHEREtable1.extractSession = ?
=========================
ExtractSession is an integer that uniquely identifies the run (for the night, perhaps). I load a bunch of staging tables that retain their data for a period of time, with each load identified by this staging number. So, I need to restrict my data pull to the correct load (extractSession).
The first query returns three (3) rows when I should be getting back all 250,000 rows from table1. The second query listed works correctly.
Am I missing something, or do I need to find another way to constrain my tables' extract session dynamically at execution time in SSIS? Is a control table the best way to go here and simply join to it?

Hi,
I need to pass data from a SQL Server data base to an Access data base. To do this I use the OPENROWSET as followed:
FR
INSERT INTO OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'C:Aux.mdb'; 'Admin'; '',Test) (Id, Name, TypeId) SELECT Id,Name,TypeId
FROM Test
ORDER BY TypeId
FR
On SQL Server 2000 or MSDE the data is transfered as expected, respecting the specified order. But when I run the same clause on a SQL 2005 EE the data is transfered, but the order is not respected.
So my question is if I have to activate an option for the order to be respected or if this is a bug.
Best regards,

Guys, i have a table that one of the columns (Email To) is
a concatenated list of email addresses separated by semi colons ";".
i.e.:
rrb7@yahoo.com;richard.butcher@sthou.com;administr ator@sthou.com
etc like that.
each row varies with one exception. administrator@sthou.com is in each one.
is there a simple way thru sql or T-SQL to delete that "administrator@sthou.com" part? or should i call each row individually into say, a VB.net form using a split with the deliminator ";"
and then looping thru and updating each row?
thanks again for any easy answer

The business operation is this:
The data is stored and accessed by Invoice Number and Line Number. If there are 4 lines, 1,2,3,4 and number 2 is deleted the users want lines 3 and 4 reordered to be 2 and 3.
The existing code does things the following way, but I have my suspicions about how bulletproof it is:
Existing Data:
123,1
123,2
123,3
123,4
Begin Transaction
Delete where InvoiceNumber = 123 and LineNumber = 2.
Update set LineNumber=2 where InvoiceNumber=123 and LineNumber=3
Update set LineNumber=3 where InvoiceNumber=123 and LineNumber=4
Commit Transaction
Is there a better way of doing this?
Thanks.
I have a table named [New Item] and created a default constraint on a column, and i wanted to change the data type of the column using the query
alter table [new item]
alter column pcs_qty decimal(15,2) not null
but the name of the default constraint is 'DF__New Item__Pcs_Qt__2D12A970' and i am not able to delete the constraint because it contains a space in between.Is there any work around for this.
I tried to delete the constraint by using the query
alter table [new item]
drop constraint 'DF__New Item__Pcs_Qt__2D12A970'
but I am getting the exception,
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Incorrect syntax near 'DF__New Item__Pcs_Qt__2D12A970'.
Hello,
I am looking to preserve the ROWGUID column that is created automatically when a table is added to a publication as I have noticed that the column is removed and readded (with new values) each time the publication is deleted and recreated. We are planning on using the values in the rowguid column for a non-replication purpose, and don't wish the column to be removed or the values to be reset in the event the 'owning' publication is dropped for whatever reason. I've done some research and have identified the preserve_rowguidcol column of the sysmergearticles table as a candidate for achieving the desired goal. Before moving forward, I wanted to ask for input regarding this. Are there any best practices I've overlooked on this topic? Neither Google nor this forum's search results yield any real discussion on this topic.
Thanks!

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.

I have a MS SQL table with a derived column, for date the records were imported, and need to delete records, based on the content of this column. What I need to do is delete all records from the table with a date of '2011-11-18'. Now this column is a datetime column, so it contains the time info after the date, i.e. 2011-11-18 09:29:38.000, but no matter what command I try for this:
-Delete from table where Date_Imported like '2011-11-18%'
-Delete from table where Date_Imported like '2011-11-18'
-Delete from table where Date_Imported = 2011-11-18
It comes back saying "0 rows affected", even though I know there are records with that date in the table.

Hi,
On my aspx Web page, I want to delete a member from database table 'tblMember', but if this MemberID is used as FK in another table, I want to display a user friendlier message like "You cannot delete this member, ....." I am using Try, Catch blocks in my Web Page.
Currently it display this message:
"DELETE statement conflicted with COLUMN REFERENCE constraint 'FK_..._....' The conflict occurred in database '...', table 'tblMembers', column 'MemberID'. The statement has been terminated. "
So how should I precisely trap this error? Does anybody know what Exception is it? or what error number in SQL server?

I have these two tables Log and CategoryLog, I need to archive records older than 13 months in these two tables to two separate tables and then delete the archived records from Log and CategoryLog tables. The problem is that only 'Log' table has a date column, the other table CategoryLog does not have any date column. But the two tables are connected by a column(LogID). How to archive the data and then delete the archive data from both tables.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a four tables called plandescription, plandetail and analysisdetail. The table plandescription has the columns DetailQuestionID which is the primary and identity column and a QuestionDescription column.
The table plandetail consists of the column PlanDetailID which the primary and identity column, DetailQuestionID which is the foreign key attribute of plandescription table and a planID column.
The third table analysisdetail consists of a analysisID which the primary and identity column, PlanDetailID which is the foreign key attribute of plandetail table and a scenario.
Below is the schema of the three tables
I have a two web form that will insert, update and delete data into these three tables in a two transaction. One web form will perform CRUD operations in plandescription and plandetail table. When the user inserts QuestionDescription and planid in this web form, I will insert the QuestionDescription Value in the plandescription table and will generate a DetailQuestionID value and this value is fed to the plandetail table with the planid. Here I will generate a PlanDetailID.
Once this transaction is done, I will show the second web form in which the user enters the scenario and this will be mapped with the plandescription using the PlanDetailID.
This schema cannot be changes as this is the client requirement. When I insert values I don’t have any problem. However when I update existing data, I need to delete existing PlanDetailID in the plandetail table and recreate PlanDetailID data for that DetailQuestionID and planID. This is because, the user will be adding or deleting a planID associated with the QuestionDescription.
Once I recreate PlanDetailID for that DetailQuestionID and planID, I need to update the old PlanDetailID with the new PlanDetailID in the third table analysisdetail for the associated analysisID.
I created a #Temp table called #DetailTable to insert the values analysisID, planid and old PlanDetailID and new PlanDetailID so that I can have them in update statement once I delete the data from plandetail table for that PlanDetailID.
Then I deleted the plandetailid from the plandetail table and recreate PlanDetailID for that DetailQuestionID. During my recreation I fetched the new PlanDetailID’s created into another temp table called #InsertedRows
After this I am running a while loop to update the temp table #DetailTable with the newly created PlanDetailID for the appropriate planID’s. The problem is here. When I have the same number of planID’s for example 2 planID’s 1,2 I will have only two old PlanDetailID and new PlanDetailID for that planID and analysisID.But When I add a new PlanID or remove a existing planID I am getting null value for that newly added or deleted planID. This is affecting my update statement of analysisdetail table as PlanDetailID cannot be null.
I tried to remove the Null value from the #DetailTable by running the update statement of analysis detail in a while loop however its not working.
DECLARE @categoryid INT = 8
DECLARE @DetailQuestionID INT = 1380
/*------- I need the query to run for the below three data.

I need to delete records from a table (Table1) which has a foreign key column in a related table (Table2).
Table1 columns are: table1Id; Name. Table2 columns include Table2.table1Id which is the foreign key to Table1.
What is the syntax to delete records from Table1 using Table1.Name='some name' and remove any records in Table2 that have Table2.table1Id equal to Table1.table1Id?
Hello,
This probably has been addressed before but I was unable to get the search to work properly on this site.
I am needing a script/way of deleting all rows from a DB with the exception of one record left for each row that has duplicate column data. Example :
Row 1
Field1 = 12345 Field2 =xxxxx Field 3=yyyyy Field4=zzzzz etc.
Row 2
Field1 = 12345 Field2 =zzzzzz Field 3=xxxxxx Field4=yyyyyy etc.
Row3
Field1 = 12345 Field2 =20202 Field 3=11111 Field4=zzzzz etc.
Row 4
Field1 = 54321 Field2 =xxxxx Field 3=yyyyy Field4=zzzzz etc.
Etc. Etc.
I want to be able to find the duplicates for Field1 and then delete all but 1 of those rows.( I don't care which one I keep just so only one is left.) The data in the other fields may or may not be unique.
I know how to find the duplicates it's just the deleting part I am having problems with. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks,
Kerry

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.

Need some serious help with this one...
Background:
Am working on completing an ORM that can not only handles CRUD actions -- but that can also updates the structure of a table transparently when the class defs change. Reason for this is that I can't get the SQL scripts that would work for updating a software on SqlServer to be portable to other DBMS systems. Doing it by code, rather than SQL batch has a chance of making cross-platform, updateable, software...
Anyway, because it needs to be cross-DBMS capable, the constraints are that the system used must work for the lowest common denominator....ie, a 'recipe' of steps that will work on all DBMS's.
The Problem:
There might be simpler ways to do this with SqlServer (all ears :-) - just in case I can't make it cross platform right now) but, with simplistic DBMS's (SqlLite, etc) there is no way to ALTER table once formed: one has to COPY the Table to a new TMP name, adding a Column in the process, then delete the original, then rename the TMP to the original name.
This appears possible in SqlServer too --...as long as there are no CASCADE operations.
Truncate table doesn't seem to be the solution, nor drop, as they all seem to trigger a Cascade delete in the Foreign Table.
So -- please correct me if I am wrong here -- it appears that the operations would be
along the lines of:
a) Remove the Foreign Key references
b) Copy the table structure, and make a new temp table, adding the column
c) Copy the data over
d) Add the FK relations, that used to be in the first table, to the new table
e) Delete the original
f) Done?
The questions are:
a) How does one alter a table to REMOVE the Foreign Key References part, if it has no 'name'.
b) Anyone know of a good clean way to get, and save these constraints to reapply them to the new table. Hopefully with some cross platform ADO.NET solution? GetSchema etc appears to me to be very dbms dependant?
c) ANY and all tips on things I might run into later that I have not mentioned, are also greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I am having great difficulty with cascading deletes, delete triggers and referential integrity.
The database is in First Normal Form.
I have some tables that are child tables with two foreign keyes to two different parent tables, for example:
Table A
/
Table B Table C
/
Table D
So if I try to turn on cascading deletes for A/B, A/C, B/D and C/D relationships, I get an error that I cannot have cascading delete because it would create multiple cascade paths. I do understand why this is happening. If I delete a row in Table A, I want it to delete child rows in Table B and table C, and then child rows in table D as well. But if I delete a row in Table C, I want it to delete child rows in Table D, and if I delete a row in Table B, I want it to also delete child rows in Table D.
SQL sees this as cyclical, because if I delete a row in table A, both table B and table C would try to delete their child rows in table D.
Ok, so I thought, no biggie, I'll just use delete triggers. So I created delete triggers that will delete child rows in table B and table C when deleting a row in table A. Then I created triggers in both Table B and Table C that would delete child rows in Table D.
When I try to delete a row in table A, B or C, I get the error "Delete Statement Conflicted with COLUMN REFERENCE". This does not make sense to me, can anyone explain? I have a trigger in place that should be deleting the child rows before it attempts to delete the parent row...isn't that the whole point of delete triggers?????
This is an example of my delete trigger:
CREATE TRIGGER [DeleteA] ON A
FOR DELETE
AS
Delete from B where MeetingID = ID;
Delete from C where MeetingID = ID;
And then Table B and C both have delete triggers to delete child rows in table D. But it never gets to that point, none of the triggers execute because the above error happens first.
So if I then go into the relationships, and deselect the option for "Enforce relationship for INSERTs and UPDATEs" these triggers all work just fine. Only problem is that now I have no referential integrity and I can simply create unrestrained child rows that do not reference actual foreign keys in the parent table.
So the question is, how do I maintain referential integrity and also have the database delete child rows, keeping in mind that the cascading deletes will not work because of the multiple cascade paths (which are certainly required).
Hope this makes sense...
Thanks,
Josh
I'm trying to clean up a database design and I'm in a situation to where two tables need a FK but since it didn't exist before there are orphaned records.
Tables are:
Brokers and it's PK is BID
The 2nd table is Broker_Rates which also has a BID table.
I'm trying to figure out a t-sql statement that will parse through all the recrods in the Broker_Rates table and delete the record if there isn't a match for the BID record in the brokers table.
I know this isn't correct syntax but should hopefully clear up what I'm asking
DELETE FROM Broker_Rates
WHERE (Broker_Rates.BID <> Broker.BID)
Thanks
