I am trying to insert some new rows into an existing SQL table. The table name is Agt_table, and I want to add some data for some new agents into existing columns:
Agent name, agent code, phone number, fax number
Example -
I want to add the following record to my existing table Agt_table
Agent name: ABC Company

Thanks so much!!!
below is some code I use to identify where a patient has attended the ED department whilst also admitted as an Inpatient. This report works fine. However while most of the results are recording issues to be corrected some of them are real and as so can be excluded from the report.
Is there a way I can build in an exclusion table which would include:
SELECT
IP_ADMISSION.HeyNo AS HEYNo
,IP_ADMISSION.NHSNo2 AS NHSNo
,IP_ADMISSION.Forename AS Forename
,IP_ADMISSION.Surname AS Surname
,IP_ADMISSION.SourceAdmNatCode AS SourceAdm

I simply need the ability using SQL to add columns in an existing table before (or after) columns that already exist.
The MS SQL implementation of ALTER TABLE doesn't seem to provide the before or after placement criteria I require. How is this done in MS SQL using SQL or is there a stored procedure I can use?
Thanks.

I have a table for blog comments I want to add a column that counts the number of comments for each article.
existing table looks like this:
CommentID
ArticleID (FK)
commentAuthor
authorEmail
comment
commentDate (getDate())
I would like to add a column that counts the number of total comments for each article.This will give me what I want using the VS query tool:
"SELECT COUNT(comment) AS Expr1 FROM UserComments WHERE (articleid = @articleid)"
But can I add that to the table somehow so it does it automagically???
Sorry I'm pretty new to SQL so I don't know if this is a simple question. I have a table, and I am trying to add a column to the table and populate this column using what would be called an 'IF' function in Excel.
Basically 'column A' has numbers in it. I want SQL to look at 'column A' and if the first 5 digits of the number in 'column A' are 00001, then put 'description A' into new column 'column B'. If the first 5 digits of the number in 'column A' are 00002, then put 'description B' into 'column A' etc.
Any ideas?
I want to add new primary key into existing table which already has a primary key. But,I do not want to remove the old primary key, since there are many records and the old primary key also have relationship with other table
When I am using this query:
alter table hem154
add indexNO uniqueidentifier default newid()
alter table hem154
add CONSTRAINT pk_hem154_indexNo PRIMARY KEY (PK_indexNO)
go
Note:
Hem154 ~ Table name
indexNo ~ Column Name
I get this runtime error:
Msg 1779, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Table 'hem154' already has a primary key defined on it.
Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
I removed all constraints in order to load a bunch of data into a table, now I'm wondering if I can add an identity column to this table which does contain data or if I have to create a new table with the identity column and insert the data into that.
thx
Kat

We have a requirement to add a not null column to an existing table.
I created the column with null and updated with single quotes, and then converted the column into not null.
Now, I can see in the publisher, it went fine. but in the subscribers, i'm getting the error as, can not insert null value. I then tried to make column as null to resolve the issue, but still it is holding the same error and not proceeding further.
Now I even dropped the column. still same issue. how can I resolve this issue? I'm using sql server 2008 R2 with SP3. replication type is Merge replication.
I am building a data warehouse. I have many columns I want to populate in a fact table using integration services. Sample fields are: companyID, companyName, companyNumberOfAccounts, company, NumberOfUsers.
In the integration services package, I would like to keep this fact table in place and populated with data and to build integration services packages that update each of the existing row's specific columns (e.g. companyNameOfAccounts) one by one. For example, I have a source of data that has companyID and companyNumberOfAccounts data.
Is it possible to use the SQL Server Destination or OLE DB Destination Integration Services elements to import companyID and companyNumberOfAccounts data so that existing records just have their companyNumberOfAccounts column updated?
I am working with a table in SQL server. I have a column that I want to designateas an identity column. I am not able to do this, because the field for "Identity Specification" is not editiable.
What I did was I went to sql server, right clicked and selected "Modify".The column properties dialog box/edit grid is then displayed with attributesthat I can modify.
There are two major nodes in this dialog box. One is named "General" and the otheris named "Table Designer". I expand the "Table Designer" node and then go to the node labeled "Identity Specification" It is here where I would like to edit thevalues.
The values that are listed for edit are listed below. BUT, the problem is thatI can place my cursor in those fields, but I am not able to change/edit them.Can anyone tell me what the problem is here? and how I can fix it?
+Identity Specification (Is Identity) Identity Increment Identity Seed

How to add a primary key for existing column in the table

Hi,
I have a temporary table into which I insert bulk data from a stored procedure output. It will be easy for me if the temptable can have a column with sequential numbers 1,2,3,4,. I could not figure out a way to do it. This is the stripped down sql what I have in the stored procedure.
insert into temptable select name, email, date from usertable where condition = xyz.
I tried auto increment column with seed 1, increment 1. But if I delete and insert again it does not start from 1. Is there any way to accompolish this? It will make the front-end code very simple.
Thank you
Need to change the datatype of existing column which has huge data.
I'm performing below steps
1. Create new column with correct datatype in the same table
2. copy data into new column
3. drop indexes on column
4. <<<>>>
now the existing column also has many SP dependent and I do not wish to drop them.
5. rename existing column to xxx
6. rename new column to correct column
7. drop old column
8. make required indexes
I have a scenario where I need to add a blank column to a table that is a publisher. This table contains over 100 million records. What is the best way to add the column? In the past where I had to make an update, it breaks replication because the update would take forever as jobs are continuously updating the table so replication can't catch up.
If I alter a table and add a column, would this column automatically get picked up in replication?
Is it possible to partition an existing table on a foreign key (datetime) column? Also would partition switching work?
View 0 Replies View RelatedHello all,I'm using SS2K on W2k.I'v got a table say, humm, "Orders" with two fields in the PK:OrderDate and CustomerID. I would like to add an "ID" column whichwould be auto-increment (and would be the new PK). But, I would reallylike to have orders with the oldest OrderDate having the smallest IDnumber and, for a same OrderDate, I'd to have the smallest CustomerIDfirst. So my question is:How could I add an auto-increment column to a table and make it createits values in a particular order (sort by OrderDate then CustomerIDhere)?In the real situation, the table I want to modify has around 500krecords and the PK has 5 fields and I want to sort on three of them.Thanks for you helpYannick
