I am having problems updating my zip code table that contains zip, city, state, long, lat, ect..
I have the latest CSV file, I tried to use the import wizard in SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager.
I set the ID field as <ignore> and specified the appropriate columns for the rest of the data matching from CSV to already designed and working zip code table. Also I checked the box that said "Delete Rows in Destination Table" as well as "Enable Identity Insert" was checked
I ran the wizard, and now I have empty table and it will not insert any records because the error said that the identity column can not accept NULL.
What do I do? I am not updating the identify column so Is it telling me it can't insert NULL into ID?
We are creating a company-wide table of ZipCodes, States, GPS info, etc. This table can be used by our development and production servers (many of them.) We could place the table on a given server and use linked servers to grant access to that table to the other servers. But is there a better way to handle this globally-useful table?

P.S. Clearly, we don't want to have multiple copies of this table scattered around on various servers. That introduces synchronization issues.
Please excuse my ignorance. I've researched this and it appears I am asking to do something that is ridiculous, so please let me know what is wrong with my design (or my brain). I'd like to update an ID number in a table. It is an identity column. In my solution I'm adding a lot of new entries into my table and deleting old ones. Call me anal, but It's driving me nuts that my ID numbers are growing so large so quickly and that I have so many unused ID's. If you were to look over my data ID's they would be something like 1,3,45,78,88,89,103,140,219. What I'm trying to do is renumber my data so that my data currently at say ID# 1067 can be moved to the unused ID#2, etc. So I either need a way to update an Identity column...or I need a way find the lowest unused number among a list of ID's. So is there anyway to achieve what I am trying to do? I see this guy had my same OCD issue (without a solution) :-(
I am very new to SQL Server 2005. I have created a package to load data from a flat delimited file to a database table. The initial load has worked. However, in the future, I will have flat files used to update the table. Some of the records will need to be inserted and some will need to update existing rows. I am trying to do this from SSIS. However, I am very lost as to how to do this.
I have met the interview question, I provide answer like the following from my experience. I don't know it is correct or need to supplement. Thank you for help.
Question: How to identity existing data for updating in SSIS?
Answer: If you have the same key columns such as primary key or business key, you just use them to identify existing records from data source to destination.
If you use different key columns between data source and destination, you can create permanent link table which will store business key for data source and destination, and you can compare records from linking table when you update data.
While I have learned a lot from this thread I am still basically confused about the issues involved.
.I wanted to INSERT a record in a parent table, get the Identity back and use it in a child table. Seems simple.
To my knowledge, mine would be the only process running that would update these tables. I was told that there is no guarantee, because the OLEDB provider could write the second destination row before the first, that the proper parent-child relationship would be generated as expected. It was recommended that I create my own variable in memory to hold the Identity value and use that in my SSIS package.
1. A simple example SSIS .dts example illustrating the approach of using a variable for identity would be helpful.
2. Suppose I actually had two processes updating these tables, running at the same time. Then it seems the "variable" method will also have its problems. Is there a final solution other than locking the tables involved prior to updating them or doing something crazy like using a GUID for the primary key!
3. We have done the type of parent-child inserts I originally described from t-sql for years without any apparent problems. (Maybe we were just lucky.) Is the entire issue simply a t-sql one or does SSIS add a layer of complexity beyond t-sql that needs to be addressed?
I want to insert a new record into a table with an Identity field and return the new Identify field value back to the data stream (for later insertion as a foreign key in another table).
What is the most direct way to do this in SSIS?
TIA,
barkingdog
P.S. Or should I pass the identity value back in a variable and not make it part of the data stream?
I have a table with a column 'zipcode' that contains a 9 digit zipcode. I am am trying to figure out how I can create a query that returns the count of the most popular zipcodes based only on the first 5 digits.
This is what I have
Code:
SELECT Customers.Zipcode, Count(Customers.Zipcode) AS CountOfZipcode FROM Customers GROUP BY Customers.Zipcode ORDER BY Count(Customers.Zipcode) DESC;
which does what I want it to do except it uses the whole 9 digits.
I have the following code, which returns a list of nearby cities based on a city name as input. Most cities have multiple zipcodes per city name, thus it can list multiple rows with the same city name, but with different zipcodes like below:
Zip | Cityname 111 belmont 112 belmont 113 belmont 114 san francisco 115 san francisco
---------------- etc----------------
I do not really care about each group of zipcodes. I only need one pair of zipcode/city name like the following:
ZIP | City name 111 belmont 114 San Francisco
How do I change my select to only return a distinct city name. I do not care which if the city/zipcodes it returns from the similar city.
The select statement is below:
CREATE PROCEDURE ZipSearchByCity @city varchar(40), @State varchar(5), @distance int
AS
SELECT distinct o.City AS City, o.zip_code, o.State AS State, (3956 * (2 * ASIN(SQRT( POWER(SIN((z.RADlatitude-o.RADlatitude)/2),2) + COS(z.RADlatitude) * COS(o.RADlatitude) * POWER(SIN((z.RADlongitude-o.RADlongitude)/2),2) )))) dist
FROM zipcodes z, zipcodes o, zipcodes a
WHERE z.city = @city AND z.State = @State AND z.zip_code=a.zip_code AND (3956 * (2 * ASIN(SQRT( POWER(SIN((z.RADlatitude-o.RADlatitude)/2),2) + COS(z.RADlatitude) * COS(o.RADlatitude) * POWER(SIN((z.RADlongitude-o.RADlongitude)/2),2) )))) < @distance GO
Hi All, Does anyone have a Stored Procedure that works perfectly to retrieve all zipcodes within a specified zipcode and distance radius - a zipcode and radius is passed and the Store Procedure result shows all zipcodes that falls within that range.
Hi, I am having problem in bulk update of a sql server table haning identity column from a datatable( has no identity column) using sqlbulkcopy. I tried several approaches, but it does not show any error nor is the table getting updated. But the identity value seems to getting increased every time. thanks. varun
From last 1 week or so, i have been facing very strange problem with my sql server 2005s database which is configured and set on the hosting web server. Right now for managing my sql server 2005 database, i am using an web based Control Panel developed by my hosting company.
Problem i am facing is that, whenever i try to modify (i.e. add new columns) tables in the database, it gives me error saying that,
"There is already an object named 'PK_xxx_Temp' in the database. Could not create constraint. See previous errors. Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider".
where xxx is the table name.
I have done quite a bit research on the problem and have also searched on the net for solution but still the problem persist.
Hi All, I have a Problem while updating one table data from another table's data using sql server 2000. I have 2 tables named TableA(PID,SID,MinForms) , TableB(PID,SID,MinForms) I need to update TableA with TableB's data using a single query that i have including in a stored procedure.
I just created a new table with over 100 Columns and I need to populated just the first 2 columns.
The first columns to populate is an identify column that is the primary key. The second column is a foreign_key to an other column and I am trying to populate this columns with all the values from the foreign_key value. This is what I am trying to do.
column1 = ID column2= P_CLIENT_D
SET IDENTITY_INSERT PIM1 ON
INSERT INTO PIM1 (P_CLIENT_ID) SELECT Client.ID FROMP_Client
So I am trying to insert both an identity values and a value from an other table while leaving the other columns blank. How do I go about doing this.
Im trying to create an update statement which references two tables (join) and has a CASE clause attached. Not sure where im going wrong...
Using T-sql!!!
update import set import.gone = from import inner join stat ON stat.id = import.id CASE WHEN stat.A = import.field2 THEN import.gone = sec.A WHEN stat.B = import.field2 THEN import.gone = sec.B WHEN stat.C = import.field2 THEN import.gone = sec.C WHEN stat.D = import.field2 THEN import.gone = sec.D WHEN stat.E = import.field2 THEN import.gone = sec.E WHEN stat.F = import.field2 THEN import.gone = sec.F ELSE import.gone = null END
I am trying to update a table in one database with data from a temporary table which i created in the tempdb.
I want to update field1 in the table with the tempfield1 from the #temp_table
The code looks something like this:
Use master UPDATE [dbname].dbo.table SET [dbname].dbo.table.field1 = [tempdb].dbo.#temp_table.tempfield1 WHERE ( [dbname].dbo.table.field2= [tempdb].dbo.#temp_table.tempfield2 AND [dbname].dbo.table.field3= [tempdb].dbo.#temp_table.tempfield3 AND [dbname].dbo.table.field4= [tempdb].dbo.#temp_table.tempfield4)
I get the following error: Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 The multi-part identifier "tempdb.dbo.#temp_table.tempfield2" could not be bound. Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 The multi-part identifier "tempdb.dbo.#temp_table.tempfield3" could not be bound. Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 The multi-part identifier "tempdb.dbo.#temp_table.tempfield4" could not be bound.

I want to write trigger code to update values in table1 to table2. ALTER, CREATE, DROP cannot be used in a trigger, I guess.
Tabel1 ID, Name, Asset, Date, Active --------------------------------- 1, A, 10 , 01/08/04 Y 1, B, 16 , 06/08/04 Y 1, C, 12 , 07/08/04 Y 1, D, 13 , 10/08/04 Y 2, E, 10 , 15/08/04 Y 2, F, 11 , 16/08/04 Y 2, Y, 12 , 01/08/04 N 2, G, 15 , 17/08/04 Y 3, H, 13 , 19/08/04 Y 3, I, 15 , 02/08/04 N
As you can see, code must select only active('Y') names in table1 arrange in descending order of asset for each ID and updates(or insert into?)table2. Please help me with code
How do I update a table from another table which resides in a different database but on the same server. Example Update table a which is in database 1 from table b which is database 2. Please help I need this as soon as possible. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

I am trying to update one table with information from another - which became corrupt. The data layout is the same. cand_id below is the key, and thus can only returnb a single value. Any help is most appreciated. Thanks. This is the attempt I took:
update mwm.jf_candidates C
set c.ed_occ = x.ed_occ
from mwm.jf_candidates C, mwm.jf_candidates_corrupt X
I know this is probably really obvious but I am trying to insert values into columns into a table if a client exists and I can't for the life of me figure out the syntax. It is something like this:
table A Client_Id Field 1 Field 2
Insert (Field1) into Table_A Select field1 from table_B Where Table_B.Client_Id = Table_A.Client_id
Whenever I run this query Iget the following error message. Can anyone tell me why. I get the same error with or without the "Distinct"
Query:
update Clients set Clients.Siccode = (Select distinct updateSIC.siccode from updateSIC where Clients.accountnumber = updateSIC.accountnumber)
Error Message:
Server: Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression. The statement has been terminated.
Ok this may be really simple but I am totally not seeing this at the moment. I have a table and I need to update this table with records from another table but I need all the rows from both tables and those that match.
Table A ID Data1 A 100 B 200
Table B ID Data2 B 333 C 345
Results should be ID Data1 Data2 A 100 B 200 333 C 345
When I insert data in my table, it don't update untill I click on the "!" execute button. I need my table to update as sonn as I insert information in there. Could some one tell me how to do this. Thanks.
Hi , I am very new to this. I need help updating a table. Here is what I am doing.
I have a table("TransferRequest") that has some records and Date_Transferred field.. Every 10 mins I need to check a view("v_UnTransferred") that checks the untransferred requests from the table and transfer them. After this process, the Date_Transferred field in the table needs to be updated with the time it was transferred. Here is my code:
Dim rsSched As New ADODB.Recordset Dim cmd As New ADODB.Command
