Is There A Way To Update Multiple Fields Using UPDATE Command
Oct 19, 2005
UPDATE #TempTableESR SET CTRLBudEng = (SELECT SUM(Salaries) from ProjectBudget WHERE Project = @Project)UPDATE #TempTableESR SET CTRLBudTravel = (SELECT SUM(Travels) from ProjectBudget WHERE Project = @Project)UPDATE #TempTableESR SET CTRLBudMaterials = (SELECT SUM(Materials) from ProjectBudget WHERE Project = @Project)UPDATE #TempTableESR SET CTRLBudOther = (SELECT SUM(Others) from ProjectBudget WHERE Project = @Project)UPDATE #TempTableESR SET CTRLBudContingency = (SELECT SUM(Contingency) from ProjectBudget WHERE Project = @Project)above is the UPDATE command i am using in one of my stored procedures. I have to SELECT from my ProjectBudget table 5 times to update my #TempTableESR table. is there an UPDATE command i can use which would let me update multiple fields in a table using one SELECT command?
I have a am doing some date calcs () . The situation is that I have a Move date (date a customer moved to a new home). I want to calculate their sales for the following 0-3 months after the move (month 0 being the move month). I have the month and year of the move (MthStart, YrStart), and I am adding 3 to MthStart to get the MthEnd of that 0-3 month period. I will then find sales BETWEEN YrStart&MthStart AND YrEnd&MthEnd (there is a YrMth field in the sales table)
Of course, for MthStarts 10, 11, and 12, the ends are 13, 14, and 15. So for these, I need to subtract 12, and increment the YrEnd by 1.
I am wondering if there is a way to update both the MthEnd and YrEnd fields at one time instead of separate SETs (or maybe I am just thinking about this the hard way to begin with). Is there a way to update both in a single CASE statement like WHEN MthEnd> 12 THEN MthEnd-12 AND YrEnd+1?

I have a gridview with a sqlDataSource with the SelectCommand as "SELECT Movie.Title, Movie.Category, Movie.ReleaseDate, ItemForSale.Quantity, ItemForSale.HasUnLimitedQuantity FROM ItemForSale INNER JOIN Movie ON ItemForSale.ID = Movie.ID"
what kinda 'UpdateCommand' do I set so that ItemForSale is also updated from the grid? I tried two update statements seperated with a semicolon but that wouldn't work, any suggestions...

Pardon me if this question is too elementary. I am trying to create a trigger that will cause certain datafields to be updated with values from other data fields in the same row when a certain column, created specifically to fire the trigger, is updated. The purpose of this is to reduce data entry by field personnel.I think I have the create trigger statement correct, but I'm a little confused on the update statement.
In a nutshell, how can I write something like: UPDATE "TABLENAME" SET DATAFIELD1 = DATAFIELD2 WHERE RECORDNUMBER = (THE SAME RECORD NUMBER)
I do know that I have to ensure that sp_dboption Recursive Triggers value is set to false, thanks.
I have a database on a server that im trying to update using asp.net. I tested this on another server and everything worked perfectly. The test system was set up where the website is hosted. But the live system is placed on a different server than the webpage. Does that make a difference? Test System Client -> Website/database Live System: Client -> website -> database I created a user account to use when accessing the database on the live system because i read the double hop causes problems. By using that account i can access and view the data. But whenever i update it nothing happens. NO ERROR either. It works perfectly but does nothing. Anyone have any ideas please?!?!?!
Hi all, just need a LITTLE help here. I am very close, I know I am, but just can't seem to fit the last piece in on this.

Here I have the following command Dim dtNow As DateTime = DateTime.NowSqlDataSource1.UpdateCommand="Update [db] Set [LW]='TRUE', LWD=dtnow Where [PK]=@PK"What I was ttrying to accomplish was , in my grid view, when someone clicks update, it would automatically set LW to true and set LWD to today's date. No user intervention required. However, I figured the above script would not work. What would I have to do to make LWD = dtnow? I do not want to give the user the option to update anything.
Hello, I'm using a Gridview to display a list of servers. Each server has a column in a table called "Enabled." I want to create a button that is supposed to toggle the value called "Enabled." I am able to make the button either to set Enabled to true or false, but I don't know how to make it toggle. Here is the command:UpdateCommand="UPDATE [ServerStatus] SET [Enabled] = 1 WHERE [ServerName] = @ServerName" The button is a buttonfield in the gridview:<asp:ButtonField ButtonType="Button" CommandName="Update" HeaderText="Toggle" ShowHeader="True" Text="Toggle" /> Does anyone know the syntax, or a way to make the button set Enabled to true when it is false, and false when it is set to true?

Hi here's a bit of code. What am I doing wrong here? Visual Studio isn't even accepting the Set word on line 56. It deletes it everytime. What am I doing wrong here?

I thought this would work. I use this code to update another table in another page. In this page, after someone has cast their vote for an article, the article db is updated for the current rating. It reads all the votes so far and takes and average and is supposed to write this number to the article database. There are 2 columns. ArticleRating is a decimal and is the average and ArticleReaders is the total number of votes. The response.write in lines 3 and 4 are the correct numbers appearing in my upper left corner of the page. They are not getting written to the db.

Hi all,I asked a similar question a few weeks ago but I didn't explain myself to well so I was hoping for some more input.I have created a webpage in Visual web developer that contains a gridview that points to an SQL table.All works well as far as searching the table and sorting. The SQL table itself is Droped ( deleted ) and then re-created every 1 minute from a query to a linked DB2 database so that we have a "live" table of our DB2 system but in SQL.....However,There is now a requirement to be able to ADD data to this SQL table. eg: a comments field.. from the website.My procedure for re-creating the SQL DB is now useless as any data added through the website would be lost when the table gets re-created.What is the best way for me to achieve a permanent table in SQL that gets updated from the Linked server DB2 but that I can also add comments from the front end (Website Gridview)..I'm assuming some sort of update query and a join to a seperate, permanent table that contains the comments?.Please help. Ray..
I'm not a T-SQL expert so I'm calling on the pros. I want to design a stored procedure that updates only fields in a given record for which a non-null parameter is specified. Example: Create dbo.MySproc @CustomerID int, @CustomerFirstName varchar(50)=NULL, @CustomerLastName(50)=NULL AS UPDATE Customers SET CustomerFirstName= @CustomerFirstName , //update only if non-null CustomerLastName= @CustomerLastName //update only if non-null WHERE CustomerID = @CustomerID RETURN So say when calling sproc if @CustomerFirstName is specified but @CustomerLastName is not, the field CustomerFirstName would be updated but field CustomerLastName would retain original data. Thanx in advance!
Hi All,In Oracle, I can easily make this query :UPDATE t1 SET (f1,f2)=(SELECT AVG(f3),SUM(f4)FROM t2WHERE t2.f5=t1.f6)WHERE f5='Something'I cannot seem to be able to do the same thing with MS-SQL. There areonly 2 ways I've figured out, and I fear performance cost in both cases,which are these :1)UPDATE t1 SET f1=(SELECT AVG(f3)FROM t2WHERE t2.f5=t1.f6)WHERE f5='Something'and then the same statement but with f2, and2)UPDATE t1 SET f1=(SELECT AVG(f3)FROM t2WHERE t2.f5=t1.f6),f2=(SELECT SUM(f4)FROM t2WHERE t2.f5=t1.f6)WHERE f5='Something'Is there a way with MS-SQL to do the Oracle equivalent in this case ?Thanks,Michel
I have a table with eight (8) fields, including the primary key (rfpid). Three of the fields are foreign keys, which take their values form lookup tables. They are int fields (pmid, sectorid, officeid). One of the fields in this table is based on putting together the descriptive field in the lookup table for sector (tblsector). The two other fields to be part of this string are the rfpname and rfpid. This creates the following string:
The words rfp, proposals are words that have to be part of string;
the slashes are to also appear.
current_year would be defaulting to datepart = year (2008)
The part that has the last two digits of the current year then the underscore and then the rfpid should be connected by an underscore to the rfpname. I am at a loss and would greatly appreciate any help.
