How To Basically Copy Tables With New Names Rather Than Create Similar Tables From Similar Manual Input.
May 26, 2007
I have a table that I am basically reduplicating a couple of times for each part of this database that I want to create.
Each table basically has the same data: The tables will be called motherTable, fatherTable, sonTable, daughterTable and so on.
I am pretty much using the following in each column: UserID, MotherID(or FatherID or SonID, etc., etc. and so on for each unique table), FirstName, LastName, MiddleName, BirthPlace, Photo, Age.
I don't see an option to copy a table and just modify the second ID part and rename that table accordingly.
How can I make this an easier way of creating these similar tables without retyping all these columns over and over again?
Thanks in advance.
I have two tables in my database called CartItems and OrderItems. Istore all of a session's shopping cart items in the CartItems tableusing the sessionID as the identifier (called cartID in my DB). Afteran order is placed and is approved, I would like to copy all of theitems in the CartItems table for that given cartID to the OrderItemstable given a new orderID.I will know the cartID and orderID ahead of time and would like tosend them both into a stored procedure and have the transfer takeplace.Example:take this data...CartItems (table)--------------------------------------cartID | itemID | quantity | price--------------------------------------12345 2 1 12.9512345 7 2 17.95and make it this data...OrderItems (table)--------------------------------------orderID | itemID | quantity | price--------------------------------------00001 2 1 12.9500001 7 2 17.95via some stored procedure that I send (@cartID,@orderID)Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
There are more than hundred tables, so i wanna automate this. i am tryin to do this in a cursor: please guide!
declare @name VARCHAR (50) declare cur cursor fast_forward for select name from sysobjects where type='u' and status not like '-%' open cur WHILE (1=1) BEGIN FETCH NEXT FROM cur INTO @name IF @@fetch_status = 0 BEGIN ALTER TABLE @name ADD created_by [VARCHAR] (25) GO ALTER TABLE @name ADD created_by [VARCHAR] (25) GO ALTER TABLE @name ADD created_date [DATETIME] GO ALTER TABLE @name ADD modified_by [VARCHAR] (25) GO ALTER TABLE @name ADD modified_date [DATETIME] END ELSE BREAK END DEALLOCATE cur
I also want that if one column for a table exists; the other columns should be created rather than it quits.

For every table in my database there is a duplicate table with same columns. For example, employee is the name of main table, there is employee_dup table in same database.
There is only one column extra in _dup tables i.e.,idn column.
Now, I want to know all the columns present in main table which are not present in corresponding _dup table. There might be a chance of missing one or two columns in _dup tables. So i want a query to find out all the columns present in main table that are not present in hx table.
I am trying to write an SQL command for my crystal report. I need to compare the same column in 3different tables & get the data from each table for only the matching data.. I understand I need to create a temporary table, get the data into it & then work around.. I am quite new to SQL.
Eg: Considering one customer account Table 1 Cust.No Name Amt_Counter AmtPaid 123.456 sam 0 0 123.456 sam 1 50
Table 2 Cust.No Name Freq_Counter Frequency 123.456 sam 1 0 123.456 sam 2 15
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Select * from Details where Emp_Code in (" + selectedValues + ")", con);
I want to join a table called Materials to this now. Material table also has an Emp_Code column. How can I write a select sql query to fetch Emp_Code from both Details and Materials table.
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select D.Emp_Code, M.Emp_Code from Details D, Materials M where D.Emp_Code = M.Emp_Code in (" + selectedValues + ")", con);

I have two tables in the same SQL database. Both have a similar numericfield. One field has the same number as the other field but is prefixedwith various letters. I know how to use LIKE but won't know the partialstring I am looking for. I am trying to use LIKE '%' + Field A orsomething that will do this.Eg.Table 1 Field A is 'A12345"Table 2 Field B is '12345"I want to find every record in Table 1 Field A that contains the exactField B data.*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
What I am working with unfortunately is a very poorly designed and non-normalized database. Please don't criticize the design. I didn't design it, but I have to write queries against it.I have 2 tables. 1 is called EnterVolume. The other is ExitVolume. Similar columns exist in each.
The rules of the database state that for every EnterVolume row (for a given TrialID, SBOINumber, and OwnerBOI) there must be a corresponding ExitVolume row in the ExitVolume table.What I need to do is to capture the paired TimeOfEvent entries from each table for each paired row. Nothing says that an SBOI cannot enter and exit a OwnerBOI's volume several times during the same Trial.Every time a SBOI Enters an OwnerBOI's volume during a certain trial, a row is created in the EnterVolume table. And Likewise when Exiting a OwnerBOI's volume during a certain trial, a row is created in the ExitVolume table.
So here is a query that I attempted, but gave undesirable results:
SELECT EV.TimeOfEvent AS [Enter Time], XV.TimeOfEvent AS ExitTime FROM IntegratedTest1.EventPortion.EventEnterVolume AS EV INNER JOIN IntegratedTest1.EventPortion.EventExitVolume AS XV ON EV.TrialID = XV.TrialID AND EV.SBOINumber = XV.SBOINumber AND EV.OwnerBOI = XV.OwnerBOI
Here is some sample data:
EnterVolume TrialID SBOI OwnerBOI TimeOfEvent 1 A D 5 1 A D 2000
Hi,I m searching for some Script / Function ... to find difference in datab/w 2 similar tables (exactly same fields structure) in sql 2000.plz update me asap !thanks in advance !
I am using SQL 2005 merge replication with a publisher managing about 45 articles(tables) with about 10 subscribers (remote servers). The problem is that we had to re-start replication from scratch and noticed that, although the publisher's tables have the default values, the subscribers did not get the default values with the initial snap shot, schema building..?!?
I now have to go over 450 tables (10 remotes SQl servers at 45 tables each) and 'reset or set' over 1,000 default values. Meanwhile, the system is down...omg...so not good.
Is there a script out there that automatically extracts the default values from a table and set it to another exact table with the same structure? any ideas?
It seems that there should be a solution for my situation, but for the life of me I can't seem to figure it out.
I need to compare two "like" tables, containing similar data. Tbl 1 is "BOOKED" (which is a snapshot of inventory) and tbl 2 is "CURRENT" (the live - working inventory table). If I write my query as follows the the subsequent result is "duplicate" data.
Code Block SELECT booked.item, booked.bin, booked.quantity, current.bin, current.quantity FROM BOOKED LEFT JOIN CURRENT ON booked.item = current.item
No matter what type of join I use, there is duplicate data displayed for each table. For example, if there are more bins in the BOOKED table that contain a certain product then the CURRENT table will repeat data and vica versa.
As follows:
Item Bin Quantity Bin Quantity
12345 A01 500 A01 7680
12345 B01 6 A01 7680
12345 C01 20 A01 7680
54321 G10 1032 E15 1163
54321 G10 1032 F20 523
54321 G10 1032 H30 750
98765 Z20 7000 Z20 8500
98765 Y15 2500 Y15 3000
98765 X10 1200 Y15 3000
What I would like to do is display Bin and Quantity only once and the repeating values as NULL or [BLANK]. Or, to display all of the bins from both tables and only the quantities from each table in relation to the bin found in that table, returning a "0" if no quantity exists.
This is what I'm after:
Item Bin Quantity Bin Quantity
12345 A01 500 A01 7680
12345 B01 6 B01 0
12345 C01 20 C01 0
54321 G10 1032 E15 1163
54321 F20 0 F20 523
54321 H30 0 H30 750
98765 Z20 7000 Z20 8500
98765 Y15 2500 Y15 3000
98765 X10 1200 X10 0
Is this possible? If so, how?
I also might add that it is ok for each table to contain multiple entries for any given item. This is basically being requested as an inventory variance report - inventory before physical count and immediatly after physical count - and will only be run once a year.
----------------------------------------------- Just thinking out loud here: What if I created three subqueries, the first containing only BOOKED information, the second containing only CURRENT information and the third being a UNION of both tables? Something like this:
Code Block SELECT q3.bin, q1.item, ISNULL(q1.quantity, 0) as QTY_BEFORE, ISNULL(q2.quantity, 0) as QTY_AFTER
FROM
(select item, bin, quantity from BOOKED)q1 Left Join
(select item, bin, quantity from CURRENT)q2 on q1.item = q2.item Left Join
(select bin, item from BOOKED UNION CURRENT)q3 on q1.item = q3.item
Order By q1.item
I don't know if I wrote the UNION statement correctly, but I will have to try this when I get back to work...
I want to count records which has almost similar name. Suppose record has company name like comcast and other record has company name like Comcast-xfinity, so how would I count this 2 records as Comcast?
In oracle, I can setup a sequence generating unique ids and query the next value (which is used as a unique identifer). I know sql server has the identity field but I need to query the next val so I can insert rows into multiple tables. When a user submits a form, I want to take the dept info from the form (in c# asp.net 2.0) and grab the first two characters. Then query the next val from a table that holds an int.. During insert into two tables it would be something like "IT100" or "SL101". But it needs to be unique. Is there a way to setup a table in sql server similar to a sequence where I can just query the next val (or some other way?). Remember, I cant do this as identity because I need the key being inserted in other tables during form submit. It seems very simple but I can't seem to find an answer online that allows me to query the next val in my code then perform the multiple inserts. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can lend on this, dev1aspnet
I am trying a create views that would join 2 tables:
Table 1: Has all the columns need by a view ( Name: Product Structure: ID, Attribute 1, Attribute 2, Attribute 3, Attribute 4, Attribute 5 etc Table 2: Is a lookup table that provides the names of columns Name: lookupTable Structure: tableName, ColumnName, columnValue Values: Product, Attribute1, Color Product, Attribute2, Size Product, Attribute3, Flavor Product, Attribute4, Shape
I am using the following select statement to get the row count from SQL linked server table.
SELECT Count(*) FROM OPENQUERY (CMSPROD, 'Select * From MHDLIB.MHSERV0P')
MHDLIB is the library name in IBM DB2 database. The above query gives me only the row count of table MHSERV0P. However, I need to get the names, rowcounts, and sizes of all tables that exist in MHDLIB librray. Is it possible at all?
Firstly I consider myself quite an experienced SQL Server user, andamnow using SQL Server 2005 Express for the main backend of mysoftware.My problem is thus: The boss needs to run reports; I have designedthese reports as SQL procedures, to be executed through an ASPapplication. Basic, and even medium sized (10,000+ records) reportingrun at an acceptable speed, but for anything larger, IIS timeouts andquery timeouts often cause problems.I subsequently came up with the idea that I could reduce processingtimes by up to two-thirds by writing information from eachcalculationstage to a number of tables as the reporting procedure runs..ie. stage 1, write to table xxx1,stage 2 reads table xxx1 and writes to table xxx2,stage 3 reads table xxx2 and writes to table xxx3,etc, etc, etcprocedure read final table, and outputs information.This works wonderfully, EXCEPT that two people can't run the samereport at the same time, because as one procedure creates and writesto table xxx2, the other procedure tries to drop the table, or read atable that has already been dropped....Does anyone have any suggestions about how to get around thisproblem?I have thought about generating the table names dynamically using'sp_execute', but the statement I need to run is far too long(apparently there is a maximum length you can pass to it), and evenbreaking it down into sub-procedures is soooooooooooooooo timeconsuming and inefficient having to format statements as strings(replacing quotes and so on)How can I use multiple tables, or indeed process HUGE procedures,withdynamic table names, or temporary tables?All answers/suggestions/questions gratefully received.Thanks
I have a function that uses the following statement in it
SELECT src_terrier.Areacode, src_terrier.siteref, src_terrier.estatename, src_terrier.Securitised, src_terrier.unitref, src_terrier.unittype, src_terrier.unittype_count, src_terrier.tenantname, src_terrier.tenantstatus, src_terrier.tenantstatus_count, src_terrier.unitstatus, src_terrier.unitstatus_count, src_terrier.floortotal, src_terrier.floortotocc, src_terrier.initialvacarea, src_terrier.initialvacnet, src_terrier.TotalRent, src_terrier.NetRent, src_terrier.FinalRtLsincSC, src_terrier.ErvTot, src_terrier.tenancyterm, src_terrier.landact, src_terrier.datadate, src_div_mgr.div_mgr, src_portfolio_mgr.portfolio_mgr, src_centre_list.propcat, src_tbl_rental.budgeted_net_rent, src_tbl_rental.budgeted_occupancy FROM src_terrier INNER JOIN src_centre_list ON src_terrier.siteref = src_centre_list.Site_Ref AND src_terrier.Areacode = src_centre_list.Division INNER JOIN src_div_mgr ON src_centre_list.Division = src_div_mgr.division INNER JOIN src_portfolio_mgr ON src_centre_list.Portfolio_no = src_portfolio_mgr.portfolio_no LEFT OUTER JOIN src_tbl_rental ON src_terrier.siteref = src_tbl_rental.site_ref
WHERE (src_terrier.datadate = @dt_src_date) AND (src_terrier.Areacode = @chr_div) AND (src_centre_list.Portfolio_no = @vch_portfolio_no) AND (src_centre_list.propcat = @vch_prop_cat) AND (src_tbl_rental.site_ref = src_terrier.siteref)
The problem I have is that the 'src_terrier.datadate' is passed through as mm/dd/yyyy (which I do actually want to change to dd/mm/yyyy as that is how the data is stored) however, the src_date within the table src_tbl_rental is only set to 01/mm/yyyy. When I put an inner join on the date element it obviously does not find it as the sample data I am using is as follows
src_terrier = 28/04/2006 and src_tbl_rental is 01/04/2006. Therefore if I pass the same parameter value through the dates are not the same and I get no data at all.
How can I specify that for the purposes of the src_tbl_rental element of the select query, that I only want it to match the mm/yyyy part of the src_date.
Therefore if some passes in 28/04.2006 it will get the records from the terrier table that match that date, and only the records from rental that match the 04/2006 part of the date.
is there any case for getting the directory/file structure on the ReportServer? something similar to "DirectoryInfo".
i'm using the webservice best would be putting the url (e.g. "http://localhos/reportserver/reportgroup1") to a function and get at least an array of filenames in this folder back.
I'm constructing a single string of several counts with concatenated labels using SQL and want to not show zeros (or their labels). Is there a function within an SQL statement that will let me do this? ISNULL() sort of does this, but I really need to test for zero instead of NULL to eliminate noise data from the string.
Is there any difference between the two queries given below..I am not able to find any but am not sure. Kindly help.
A)
select a.* from( select top 1 hs.last_modified, hs.price, hs.revision_date from history hs where hs.last_modified < '06-Jan-2008' order by hs.last_modified desc)a order by a.revision_date desc
B) select hs.last_modified, hs.price, hs.revision_date from history hs where hs.last_modified < '06-Jan-2008' order by hs.last_modified desc, hs.revision_date desc
Hi, I need something like a sequence in a datafield of my table. (unique number in the table) is a uniqueidentifier the right thing to choose? and if yes, how to I insert a new value into the that table:
a) from the SQL Enterprise Manager? b) from a JAVA program using jdbc?
I have three fields in a table say [F1, F2 & F3]. I need to fetch anyone of these three fields which has the maximum value between them.
In Simple words i'm looking for some function which is similar to COALESCE function which returns the first NOT NULL value of the fields that were passed as arguments.
FYI I'm using SQL Server 7.0 which does not supports UDF's
finding is queries to find duplicate data.Basically I have a picklist table in a database and I have discovered that there are what looks like duplicate data (because the name is the same) but there is a different number on the end, as you can see from an example below.
NO, ENTRY 24, John Doe|26|05768 24, John Doe|26|5768
Do you know if there is a sql query that can be ran against this table that will look through the ENTRY column and select fields that are similar and not duplicates (duplicates can't exist due to PK constraints)
Ref, Date, TIME, Code, Minutes 01117,2012-01-02, 541,BASIC,240.0 01117,2012-01-02, 541,BASIC,105.0
And I am trying to insert this into another table TABLEB but it wont allow as I am getting a duplicates error because of the unique Indexing on the table.
Ref,Date,Time,Code
Ideally if I could run a query on TABLEA so that it would merge and sum the minutes where REF,Date,TIME,CODE are the same.
i.e., the above would become
Ref , Date , TIME, Code, Minutes 01117,2012-01-02, 541,BASIC,345.0
Is this possible?
Another option that would work for me is the TIME column info isnt required to remain at 541.
If there was a count increment on the rows it would allow the import to rum.
ie if the above became
Ref, Date, TIME, Code, Minutes 01117,2012-01-02, 1,BASIC,240.0 01117,2012-01-02 ,2BASIC,105.0
Table One is an older database and has the column employee id, which would always consist of first letter of the last name an underscore and a numeric value. So for example, data looks like
employeeID R_12345678 S_5555555 T_777777 U_7777
Our new data structure simply removed the letter & underscore.
employeeID 12345678 5555555 777777 7777
Now my question is, how could I join on oldDB.employeeID to newDB.employeeID since the data is very similar, but not exactly the same?
Im trying this simple query, where if a book has the same ID but different names it should be shown in one row and not two...
Now it is showing
- 1 AuthorDude - 1 AuthorGirl - 2 Authorblabla
While it should show
- 1 AuthorDude, AuthorGirl - 2 Authorblabla
SELECT a.book_id, b.Name from BOOK_SALES a left outer join ( select Book_id,is_primary, STUFF((select ', ' + Name from BOOK_CONTRIBUTOR B where B.BOOK_ID = A.BOOK_ID for xml path('')),1,1,'') Name from BOOK_CONTRIBUTOR A group by Book_id,IS_PRIMARY ) b on a.BOOK_ID = b.BOOK_ID
When i do a inner join, it would just show many Book_ID`s, but with the authors combined.
