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
Agent code: 012345
Phone #: 555-555-5555
Fax#: 555-555-5555
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 have a SQL script to insert data into a table as below:
INSERT into [SRV1INS2].BB.dbo.Agents2 select * from [SRV2INS14].DD.dbo.Agents
I just want to set a Trigger on Agents2 Table, which could delete all rows in the table , before carry out any Insert operation using above statement.I had below Table Trigger on [SRV1INS2].BB.dbo.Agents2 Table as below: But it did not perform what I intend to do.
USE [BB] GO /****** Object: Trigger Script Date: 24/07/2015 3:41:38 PM ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
I have created a table Table with name as Varchar and id as int. Now i have started inserting the rows like, insert into Table values ('arun',20).Yes i have inserted a row in the table. Now i have got the values " arun's ", 50. insert into Table values('arun's',20) My sqlserver is giving me an error instead of inserting the row. How will you solve this problem?
i have 2 tables (both containing the same column names/datatypes), say table1 and table2.. table1 is the most recent, but some rows were deleted on accident.. table2 was a backup that has all the data we need, but some of it is old, so what i want to do is overwrrite the rows in table 2 that also exist in table 1 with the table 1 rows, but the rows in table 2 that do not exist in table one, leave those as is.. both tables have a primary key, user_id.
I write a insert trigger on my table LeaveRegister(1000 rows) and inserting rows in audit table, but when i inserting a row in LeaveRegister table. In audit table 1000 + 1 rows are inserting every time.
I know that this is legal sql: "SELECT 1 AS Blah" I want to do something like this except for I need to select multiple rows each with a different value for Blah. The query needs to be legal to be passed to the SqlCommand.ExecuteReader Method. Is this possible?

I'm working on a database for a financial client and part of what i need to do is calculate a value from two separate rows in the same table and insert the result in the same table as a new row. I have a way of doing so but i consider it to be extremely inelegant and i'm hoping there's a better way of doing it. A description of the existing database schema (which i have control over) will help in explaining the problem:
id metric_id metric_type_id metric_name 1 80 2 Fiscal Enterprise Value Historic Year 1 2 81 2 Fiscal Enterprise Value Current Fiscal Year 3 82 2 Fiscal Enterprise value Forward Fiscal year 1 4 83 2 Fiscal Enterprise Value Forward Fiscal Year 2 5 101 3 Calendar Enterprise value Historic Year 1 6 102 3 Calendar Enterprise Value Current Fiscal Year 5 103 3 Calendar Enterprise value Forward Year 1 6 104 3 Calendar Enterprise Value Forward Year 2
Table Name: metric_type_details
id metric_type_id metric_type_name 1 1 Raw 2 2 Fiscal 3 3 Calendar 4 4 Calculated
The problem scenario is the following: Because a certain number of the securities have a fiscal year end that is different to the calendar end in addition to having fiscal data (such as fiscal enterprise value and fiscal earnings etc...) for each security i also need to store calendarised data. What this means is that if security with security_id = 3 has a fiscal year end of October then using rows with ids = 1, 2, 3 and 4 from the metrics_ladder table i need to calculate metrics with metric_id = 83, 84, 85 and 86 (as described in the metric_details table) and insert the following 4 new records into metrics_ladder:
Metric with metric_id = 101 (Calendar Enterprise value Historic Year 1) will be calculated by taking 10/12 of the value for metric_id 80 plus 2/12 of the value for metric_id 81.
Similarly, metric_id 102 will be equal to 10/12 of the value for metric_id 81 plus 2/12 of the value for metric_id 82,
metric_id 103 will be equal to 10/12 of the value for metric_id 82 plus 2/12 of the value for metric_id 83 and finally
metric_id 104 will be NULL (determined by business requirements as there is no data for forward year 3 to use).
As i could think of no better way of doing this (and hence the reason for this thread) I am currently achieving this by pivoting the relevant data from the metrics_ladder so that the required data for each security is in one row, storing the result in a new column then unpivoting again to store the result in the metrics_ladder table. So the above data in nmetrics_ladder becomes:
-- Dummy year variable to make it easier to use MONTH() function -- to convert 3 letter month to number. i.e. JAN -> 1, DEC -> 12 etc... DECLARE @DUMMY_YEAR VARCHAR(4) SET @DUMMY_YEAR = 1900;
with temp(security_id, metric_id, value) as ( select ml.security_id, ml.metric_id, ml.value from metrics_ladder ml where ml.metric_id in (80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,etc...) -- only consider securities with fiscal year end not equal to december and ml.security_id in (select security_id from company_details where fiscal_year_end <> 'dec') ) insert into @calendar_averages select temppivot.security_id -- Net Income ,(CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR))/12*[80]) +((12 - CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR)))/12*[81]) as [101] ,(CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR))/12*[81]) +((12 - CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR)))/12*[82]) as [102] ,(CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR))/12*[82]) +((12 - CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR)))/12*[83]) as [103] ,NULL as [104] -- Share Holders Equity ,(CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR))/12*[84]) +((12 - CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR)))/12*[85]) as [105] ,(CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR))/12*[85]) +((12 - CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR)))/12*[86]) as [106] ,(CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR))/12*[86]) +((12 - CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR)))/12*[87]) as [107] ,NULL as [108] -- Capex -- Sales -- Accounts payable etc... .. .. from temp pivot ( sum(value) for metric_id in ([80],[81],[82],[83],[84],[85],[86],[87],[88],etc...) ) as temppivot inner join company_details cd on temppivot.security_id = cd.security_id
********* END SQL *********
The result then needs to be unpivoted and stored in metrics_ladder.
And FINALLY, the question! Is there a more elegant way of achieving this??? I have complete control over the database schema so if creating mapping tables or anything along those lines would help it is possible. Also, is SQL not really suited for such operations and would it therefore be better done in C#/VB.NET.
Combination of Student_Id, Subject_Id and Quarter columns is the primary key. One student can take one subject in a quarter. Now the new requirement is a student can take multiple subjects in a quarter. So need to add another table like below:
NEW table name: Student_Subject and column are below: Student_id Subject_Id Quarter1
All the above three columns combination is primary key.
After the new table Student_Subject created, remove Subject_Id column from Student table.
When the user clicks on a button after selecting multiple subjects and provide col1 and col2 data then one row gets inserted into Student table and multiple rows gets inserted into Student_Subject table.
Is there any other table design that satisfies one student can take multiple subjects in a quarter?
Is it possible to insert multiple rows in a table using one INSERT statment. If yes, how can I do that ? I tried doing this using the substitution method.
Using Substitution Method - This is how,I proceeded.
I have a DataTable in memory and I want to write a C# code to dump the data into a SQL database. Is there a faster way of dumping millions of rows into a SQL table besides running INSERT INTO row by row?
I am using the below SQL to insert a table. The problem is after I run this, I run another script to populate the table (see below). The population script will work if I run it as INSERT INTO ... SELECT TOP 99.9999999 PERCENT ..., but if I put 100 PERCENT, or just use no percent limiter I get the following error: Msg 8624, Internal SQL Server error.
It is weird b/c once something is inserted in the table, i can run the populate script without any problems. Any idea as to why this is happening?
Thanks,
Dave

The objective is to identify orders where an order fee has been applied incorrectly. I have multiple orders per customer, my table contains an orderID and a customerID. Currently if the customer places additional orders before the previous orders have been closed/cancelled, then additional fees are being applied.
Let's say I'm comparing order #1 to order #2. I need to identify these rows where the following is true:-
The CustID is the same.
Order #2 has a more recent order date.
Order #2 has a FeeDate Before the CancelledDate of Order #1 (or Order #1 has no cancellation date).
So in the table the orderID:2835692 of CustID: 24643 has a valid order fee. But all the subsequently placed orders have fees which were applied before the first order was cancelled and so I want to update the FeeInvalid column with a 'Y'. The first fee will always be valid.
I think I understand why the code I am trying doesn't achieve the result I want but I can't figure out how to write it correctly. Below is one example of code I've tried and also code to create the table and insert some test data.
update t1 SET FeeInvalid = 'Y' FROM MockData t1 Join MockData t2 on t1.CustID = t2.CustID WHERE t1.CustID = t2.CustID AND t2.OrderDate > t1.OrderDate AND t2.FeeDate > t1.CancelledDate CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MockData]( [OrderID] [float] NULL,
Hello all,my first post here...hope it goes well. I'm currently working onstored procedure where I translated some reporting language into T-SQLThe logic:I have a group of tables containing important values for calculation.I run various sum calculations on various fields in order to retrievecost calculations ...etc.1) There is a select statement which gathers all the "records" whichneed calculations.ex: select distinct Office from Offices where OfficeDesignation ='WE' or OfficeDesignation = 'BE...etc.As a result I get a list of lets say 5 offices which need to becalculated!2) A calculation select statement is then run on a loop for each ofthe returned 5 offices (@OfficeName cursor used here!) found above.Anexample can be like this(* note that @WriteOff is a variable storing the result):"select @WriteOff = sum(linecost * (-1))From Invtrans , InventoryWhere ( transtype in ('blah', 'blah' , 'blah' ) )and ( storeloc = @OfficeName )and ( Invtrans.linecost <= 0 )and ( Inventory.location = Invtrans.storeloc )and ( Inventory.itemnum = Invtrans.itemnum )"...etcThis sample statement returns a value and is passed to the variable@WriteOff (for each of the 5 offices mentioned in step 1). This is donearound 9 times for each loop! (9 calculations)3) At the end of each loop (or each office), we do an insert statementto a table in the database.
To anyone that is able to help....What I am trying to do is this. I have two tables (Orders, andOrderDetails), and my question is on the order details. I would liketo set up a stored procedure that essentially inserts in the orderstable the mail order, and then insert multiple orderdetails within thesame transaction. I also need to do this via SQL 2000. Right now ihave "x" amount of variables for all columns in my orders tables, andall Columns in my Order Details table. I.e. @OColumn1, @OColumn2,@OColumn3, @ODColumn1, @ODColumn2, etc... I would like to create astored procedure to insert into Orders, and have that call anotherstored procedure to insert all the Order details associated with thatorder. The only way I can think of doing it is for the program to passme a string of data per column for order details, and parse the stringvia T-SQL. I would like to get away from the String format, and gowith something else. If possible I would like the application tosubmit a single value per variable multiple times. If I do it this waythough it will be running the entire SP again, and again. Anysuggestions on the best way to solve this would be greatlyappreciated. If anyone can come up with a better way feel free. Myonly requirement is that it be done in SQL.Thank you
I need to have a script where it ask the user for a value, the script will search for all records that match the value. Then it will display the numbers of records found and ask the user to enter a different value. The rest of the script will use this new value and increment by 1 n times as the number of records found. I started the script where it will ask for "HANDLE" and display the number of records found with that "HANDLE"
declare @HANDLE as varchar(30) declare @COUNT as varchar(10) declare @STARTINV as varchar(20)
set @HANDLE = ?C --This is the parameter to search for records with this value set @STARTINV = ?C --User will input the starting invoice number SELECT COUNT as OrderCount FROM SHIPHIST where HANDLE = @HANDLE
I just can't figure out how to proceed to use the entered invoice # and increment by 1 until it reach the number of records found.
This will be the end results:
Count=5 --results from query STARTINV=00010 --Value entered by user
Below is a simplified table & dataset to illustrate a problem I'm experiencing with a more complex one.
Code Block
create table #test( recno smallint PRIMARY KEY, value decimal (18,2))
insert into #test values (1, 3.57) insert into #test values (2, 5.32) insert into #test values (3,6.29) insert into #test values (4, 9.25) insert into #test values (5, 0.84)
Method 1: I tried inserting rows from #test into a temp table (#table) as follows
Code Block
declare @n as nvarchar(3) set @n = 1 while @n <= (select count(recno) from #test) begin exec (' insert into ##table select *, originalrecno = (select recno from #test where recno = '+@n+') from #test' ) set @n = @n + 1 end However, this yields an error message:
Code Block
Server: Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 Invalid object name '##table'. Note - you can comment out the insert into ##table line above to view the results that I'm trying to put into ##table.
Method 2: next I tried explicitly creating ##table & rerunning the loop containing the insert
declare @n as nvarchar(3) set @n = 1 while @n <= (select count(recno) from #test) begin exec (' insert into ##table select *, originalrecno = (select recno from #test where recno = '+@n+') from #test' ) set @n = @n + 1 end This worked - it inserted the data from the select statements in the loop into ##table.
Question pls. I have an MS SQL local package where it exports data from SQL table to Excel file. My question is, how can erase all the records in my excel file before i export the new data from SQL table?
What i want is to delete the rows in the destination file before inserting new records.
Type Name Value x M1 5 x M2 10 x M3 20 y M1 10 y M2 15 y M3 30
Now, i need to add four more rows to the table
Type Name Value x M1 5 x M2 10 x M3 20 y M1 10 y M2 15 y M3 35 z1 Total 15 (xM1+XM2) z1 Diff 5 (xM3-xM1+XM2) z2 Total 25 (yM1+yM2) z2 Diff 10 (yM3-yM1+yM2)
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.

What should I do? Should I use a stored procedure?? I am writing in C#. Can someone please help!!
IUpdating existing rows in a SQL server 2005 destination table
--I have a CSV file and every row needs to perform an update on a production table
The most straight forward is to use an OLEDB Command Data Flow Transformation Object that sends one SQL statement per row coming in. How do I configure this object ???
That might be okay if you've only got a small number of updates, however if you've got a large set, I prefer landing this set to a temporary table and then doing Set based updates in a following Execute SQL task. Can you please tell me how I can set up the Execute SQL Task to do set based updates in the Control flow??
I need to create a fairly simple package that copies data from one database using a sql querie and inserts it into another. what's the best way to handle rows that already exist in the destination table? The package needs to run once a day and ignore rows inserted from previous runs.
I am using a DTS package to output a view to a pre-determined Excel file. Currently it just adds the output to the bottom of the current table in excel but i would like it to delete the contents of the worksheet before adding the new rows.
I have an item table (#Codes) which contains itemIDs, some of which are always used in a subsequent data table (#Data) to hold information about a case+scearnio. These item rows have a standarditem value = 1. Rows in the item table which may be included in the subsequent data table (#Data), but not for every single case+scearnio, are considered nonstandard rows and therefore have a standarditem value = 0. I have been trying to write some code that automatically inserts rows from #Codes which have standarditem = 1 into #Data for each of the caseID+scenarioIDs in #Cases but have not figured it out yet. See "desired result" below to see exactly the output I'm trying to achieve.
Also, is there a way to insert the standarditem = 1 rows from #Codes into #Data when new caseID+scenarioID rows are added to #Cases? Ultimately, I'd like to either create a button for the user to click in the Access interface that inserts these rows when clicked OR when the user enters a new caseID+scenarioID in #Cases the rows just automatically appear for the new case row. This way, the rows will already have the caseID, scenarioID & itemID fields already populated and all the user will have to do is enter the item value and be able to manually add standarditem = 0 rows and their values if needed.
Code Block
create table #Codes (itemID nvarchar(2), standarditem int) insert into #Codes values (1,1) insert into #Codes values (2,0) insert into #Codes values (3,1) insert into #Codes values (4,1) insert into #Codes values (5,0)
create table #Cases (caseID nvarchar(5), scenarioID nvarchar(15), createdate datetime) insert into #Cases values (823, 1, '20071210') insert into #Cases values (823, 2, '20071211') insert into #Cases values (824, 1, '20071213')

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?
