i am using visual web developer 2005 and SQL Express 2005 with VB as the code behind
i have a button and in the button click event i have written codes to INSERT to a database table - it has one primary key
so when i click the button, if there is already a row with primary key fields value as 10 and if i try to INSERT with the same value in the primary key field there will occur primary key constraint
so , if i try to INSERT with the already existing primary key fields value, instead of INSERTing it should be UPDATEd without generating any error
please help me
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 created a table with the following columns...Date(datetime),Actual (Int),Planned (Int)I need to insert weekending dates starting from 23/04/04 loopingthru'for the next 52weeks automatically into the date column.Then in the actual and planned colums, I need to insert a count ofsome records in the table.I will appreciate help on a SQL query to achieve this!
I have 4 databases in the same space.My users use all of them and use the same username and password to log into these 4 databases.In each of these databases,i have put a control table to allow me to keep track of all users that have to reset their passwords.
The control table consists of the username and flag fields.When the flag is ON(1) the user is forced to reset thier password and if the flag is OFF(0) they are not.
When a user logs into any one of these databases and they have to reset thier password,how do i make sure that all the other tables in other databases are also updated to make sure that the user is not forced to reset their password again when they log into those other databases later since they are using the same username and password for all databases.
I am planning to use a stored procedure which i will put into all the four databases and when a user logs in and has to reset their password,that sproc is called and automatically updates all the other 3 tables in other 3 databases.
Does anybody have a sample SQL script that will select table A and compare it to table B. If a row exists in both table A and table B, it will update the columns in table B with the columns in table A. If the row does not exist in table B, it will insert a row in table B using the row in table A. Is this possible?
I have an asp.net project that displays a timesheet based on a fortnightly system.
It has a Y and X axis, i.e. Sun-Mon, Sun-Mon across the top and Categories of hour types accross the Y axis, i.e. Holidays, Overtime, Maintenance.
I was using a datagrid to gather the rows, but I need to have the whole grid in edit mode which is something that requires more coding. So I have swapped to a datalist.
It will take me 240 fields to store all the data in their corresponding fields. So I basically need to know if there is an easier way to store two dimensional array type data into an SQL table using a minimum of fields.
SQLNewbie writes "I have a table 'ImportedListings' that is populated with data external to the database. This table is only used to hold the data until I can move it to the permanent table 'Listings' at which point 'ImportedListings' gets truncated to nothing. Both tables contain almost identical data and structure. There is a listing ID column available for joins.
Basically I need to compare each row in ImportedListing and if it already exists in Listing, UPDATE Listing with the new info. If the row in ImportedListing doesn't exist in Listing, I need to INSERT it.
Physically deleting rows from the listings table is not an option. Do you have any ideas on how I can do this? I initially tried using a temp table to hold the matching listing id's but I could not get figure out the update statement with this scenario.
Thanks for any help! I have been trying to hammer this out all night(I just started programming tsql)"
i am creating a database driven website and i am using a sql database. I have a database called company with fields in it to do with a company, I have created a company.cs file which sets the variables, properties and methods and so on. These work fine. I have also stored procedures and they are right as far as i know. i also have coding behind the buttons of my page when i try and update or insert to the database. I am having the problem of when i enter data into the text boxes and click update, nothing gets inserted or updated and whats worst of all no error message appears. The table is used for storing profile data about a user, when a user logs on they enter their profile data, if i manually enter this data and input the username of a user into the username field within the database then the data appears fine in the textboxes of the update info page but the data will not insert or update. i have checked all the little things and i am stressing out cos i am running out of time and cannot find the problem...........please could someone help me!!!!! thanks

Hi, I'm trying to store large strings to a database, so am using thetext field type (LongText). I have used this before when storing thehtml of a webpage, and was able to store more than 255 characters byusing just a normal update sql statement. Now I'm trying to store thebody of research papers, and must be doing something different, as Ican only store 255 characters.Can someone explain why SQL Server doesn't like what I am doing -should I be using the WriteText / UpdateText function? If so, pleaseexplain by example how I would do that, and why doing that works.Thanks so much,Iain
I have created a single Data Flow Task that reads a set of records from a source table and then makes determinations whether to insert, update or delete from a destination table. The data is basically being copied from one database to another with a small amount of data manipulation and lookups. The problem seems to be that when running the task, even a small amount of records read from the source table seem to take a long time for the task to finish. I feed the records into a Script Component (the brains) that sorts the records to three separate outputs. I use OLE DB Commands to perform the DELETE and UPDATE and an OLE DB Destination for INSERT. I thought that by using three separate database connections would help, but it just appears to be locked while trying to perform these commands against the same table.
Is there a way to control or route these three record sets in such a way as to perform them sequentially?
I know it's a bit of a simple question for some of you, but I'm just learning SSIS (but I like it!).
I am using the following query to calculate date differences:select ..........DATEDIFF(d, recruitment_advertising.advertising_date, career_details.RTS_Email AS Datetime) AS Ad_to_RTS_days FROM .....I have stored all my dates as NVARCHAR because of the issues with localization.If the value is an empty String my output is eg: -38700. which is way off and incorrect. Some of the values in my table are NULL and they produce the correct result.Is there a T-SQL statement to replace empy Strings with the NULL value in my tables.I'd like to use it as a trigger when inserting or updating to convert empty strings to NULLbefore the values are inserted.Thanks guys.
Hello.I've read many topics about this problem but i couldn't figure it out.I use form where user must insert 2 dates using texboxes.-One is required and other is optional.Sql 2000 is inserting either '20061105' or '2006.11.05' on insert update but select query returns 05.11.2006 on my report. Question 1.How do I insert or update dates from my form where date is entered dd.mm.yyyy to sql 2000 table?question 2. What to do if user left optional texbox date empty.I'm using SP and function with arguments (byval texbox1.text as date, byval texbox2.text as date)and parameters @date1, sqldbtype date =texbox1.text
We've installed the Oracle provider for OLE DB on SQL Server 2005, which has the default collation (SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS), and we've created a linked server for the Oracle 9.2.0.5 database, which has AL32UTF8 as the database character set. We can successfully insert strings into VARCHAR2 columns on Oracle from SQL Server via EXEC SP_EXECUTESQL('INSERT OPENQUERY(...) VALUES(...)') -- as long as the strings (whether selected from NVARCHAR columns on SQL Server or specified as literals with the N prefix during testing) only contain Windows-1252 characters.
If the SQL statement contains a character above U+00FF, the string on the Oracle side is incorrectly/doubly encoded; there are nearly (but not exactly) 4 bytes per character instead of the 1 or 2 you'd expect from ASCII/Latin-1 characters encoded as UTF-8.
We've tried reconfiguring the linked server: collation compatible = false, use remote collation = true, and collation name = Latin1_General_BIN2. But that had no effect.
Hi Gnite everyone, i once again need help with a T-SQL syntax for Auto Correction for insert and update when client enters the wrong format, i;e, creating a SSN Data type and a User Defined Procedure that auto corrects input format i;e, user inserts into table authors of the pubs DB 525-477845 column au_id that executes auto correction so user doesn't have to put in dashes for SSN format. Please help me with this syntax .
Inside a single transaction I'm inserting/updating multiple records into multiple tables, in this order: table 1 record 1 table 2 record 1 table 3 record 1 table 1 record 2 table 2 record 1 table 1 record 3 table 2 record 3 table 3 record 3
Now I'm getting an unspecified error on a certain table:
Indicates a data modification, such as an insert, an update, or a deletion. Ensures that multiple updates cannot be made to the same resource at the same time. (I assume that multiple updates within the SAME transaction can be made, only multiple updates from different transaction cannot be made, right?) I cannot find any reference to this error message and don't know what the numbers mean. Maybe it relates to data that can be found in the sys.lock_information table like explained here, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172932.aspx, but I'm not sure.
Furthermore, the sys.lock_information table is empty. I haven't been able to reproduce the problem myself. I only received an error log and the database to investigate it.
So, does anybody have an idea what this error message means and what I can do to troubleshoot this?
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.
Ok, I'm really new at this, but I am looking for a way to automatically insert new records into tables. I have one primary table with a primary key id that is automatically generated on insert and 3 other tables that have foreign keys pointing to the primary key. Is there a way to automatically create new records in the foreign tables that will have the new id? Would this be a job for a trigger, stored procedure? I admit I haven't studied up on those yet--I am learning things as I need them. Thanks.
I am trying to insert data into two different tables. I will insert into Table 2 based on an id I get from the Select Statement from Table1. Insert Table1(Title,Description,Link,Whatever)Values(@title,@description,@link,@Whatever)Select WhateverID from Table1 Where Description = @DescriptionInsert into Table2(CategoryID,WhateverID)Values(@CategoryID,@WhateverID) This statement is not working. What should I do? Should I use a stored procedure?? I am writing in C#. Can someone please help!!
Hi Guys, I have a website with multiple pages and when a user signs in it puts a 1 in the database and their online status is shown to the rest of the members, if they use my signout button which I have on each page, it signs them out and updates the database with a 0 in the process, so shows them as then offline, my problem is some people forget to sign out and just close the browser window or begin surfing elsewhere. Is there a way to have sql server 2000 automatically change the field in the database after 30 minutes of inactivity. Or is there a way to automatically sign users out as they either click on the X in the browser window, or as they leave my site. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers
Some of my jobs hang at FTP step for several hours until some one kills the FTP (it's a perl process) on the box. Is there a way to find how much time a particular step of the job is executing? and know it by somehow if it's hanging at that step?? If we know this,I want to kill the perl process(FTP) on the box in an automated way whenever the job hangs! Any ideas welcome!! Thanks. :-)
How can I delete tables in a SQLServer Database automatically (at the moment I just do it using Micorosft SQl Management Studio Express manually) But its important that I can do that automatically, the best thing would be if I can do that from a .NET programm. thanks in advance,mulata

I need to setup an automated process to delete all the files older than a month in a particular directory on a network drive, how is that possible? Any help is greatly appreciated. thanks. Sheila.
I have a problem with a server where for some reason when it is rebooted the SQLAgent service does not start automatically. You have to go into control panel, services and start it, even the it is set to Automatic.
I have an sql 7.0 database with an Access 97 front end. We need to run a process every night to update the database. However, not all users disconnect from the front end and we get lock conflicts. It is not acceptable to have a person stay till the evening to manually kill all the spid's and i can't find any way to force all users off the database as you can in DB2. Also, we can't change the front end. Any idea how to force all users off of an sql server database (kill all spid's?) in an automated way. Thanks
