SQL Server 2012 :: How To Perform Update Query That Involves Multiple Tables
Aug 31, 2015
I am trying to run an update statement against a vendor's database that houses HR information. If I run a regular select statement against the database with the following query, it returns without error:
SELECT "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDDAT-INT", "NAME"."INTERNET-ADDRESS", "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDFLD-FIELD-ID", "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDTBL-TABLE-ID"
FROM "SKYWARD"."PUB"."NAME" "NAME", "SKYWARD"."PUB"."QUDDAT-DATA" "QUDDAT_DATA"
WHERE ("NAME"."NAME-ID"="QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDDAT-SRC-ID") AND "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDTBL-TABLE-ID"=0 AND "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDFLD-FIELD-ID"=16 AND "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDDAT-INT"=11237When I try to convert it into an
[Code] ....
I am assuming I am receiving this error because it doesn't know where to find QUDDAT-INT? How can I fix that?
The "QUDDAT-INT" column houses the employee number. So in the case of the SELECT query above, I am testing against a specific employee number.
I open query analyser and on one tab I update a record in a transaction and hold it.
begin tran update customers set territory = 'x' where customer = 'A00001' --rollback tran
In a second tab I attempt to update all records in the table
update customers set carrier = ''
Clear this fails because of the lock placed during the first script and this is fine.
However, is there a way to get the 2nd script to ignore the locked rows and just update as many as it can? The obvious answer seemed to be the READPAST hint like follows…
update customers with (READPAST) set carrier = ''
…but this is still blocked by the original lock. I’ve tried combining it with all sorts of other table hints but all seem to get blocked.
The following does work, ignoring the lock and not returning the data
Select * from customers with (READPAST) where customer = 'A00001'
I’ve tried combining this with the update like so…
update customers set carrier = '' from customers with (READPAST) where customer = 'A00001'
..but this is blocked too.
I’m so desperate I tried moving the update into a cursor and update one row at a time. Nothing worked. I thought I might be able to do something like this
If (Select count(*) from customers with (READPAST) where customer = 'A00001') > 0 --then perform update
..but this returns a value of 1 even though the following returns no rows.
Select * from customers with (READPAST) where customer = 'A00001'
hey everyone,I'm having trouble cranking out an appropriate SQL query for what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to add a ratings system into a website, I have 2 relevant tables.Files = table listing all uploaded filesRatings = table listing all ratings for filesThe two DB's are theoretically linked by the fact that the ratings table has a field for "fileID" which matches up to "fileID" in the files table. The way the page works, is that there is a querystring in the URL "filename" where "filename" is a field within the files table. So basically I'm looking for the AVG rating.ratings, where rating.fileID = files.fileID, and the appropriate files.fileID is gained from files.fileID WHERE files.filename = request.querystring["filename"]holy crap, i hope that made sense to someone here. i'm not great at explaining this. My problem is I want the AVG ratings.rating from the table ratings.... where ratings.fileID = files.fildIDWhat I have so far, that works except for the AVG part is below. This code will pull only the ratings for the appropriate file, the problem is whenever I try to add "AVG(something)" to it, the query fails.SELECT files.FID AS Expr1, files.filename, ratings.FID, ratings.ratingFROM files INNER JOIN ratings ON files.FID = ratings.FIDWHERE (files.filename = @filename) @filename value is gained from the URL querystringany ideas?
I have two tables .. in one (containing user data, lets call it u).The important fields are:u.userName, u.userID (uniqueidentifier) and u.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier)The second table (w) has fieldsw.delegateID (uniqueidentifier), w.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier) The SP takes the delegateID and I want to gather all the people from table u where any of the workgroupID's for that delegate match in w. one delegateID may be tied to multiple workgroupID's. I know I can create a temporary table (@wgs) and do a: INSERT INTO @wgs SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateIDthat creates a result set with all the workgroupID's .. this may be one, none or multipleI then want to get all u.userName, u.userID FROM u WHERE u.workgroupIDThis query works on an individual workgroupID (using another temp table, @users to aggregate the results was my thought, so that's included) INSERT INTO @users SELECT u.userName,u.userID FROM tableU u LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID WHERE u.workgroupID = @workGroupIDI'm trying to avoid looping or using a CURSOR for the performance hit (had to kick the development server after one of the cursor attempts yesterday)Essentially what I'm after is: SELECT u.userName,u.userID FROM tableU u LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID WHERE u.workgroupID = (SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateID) ... but that syntax does not work and I haven't found another work around yet.TIA!
i just can't find a way to perform this Select Query in my ASP.Net page. I just want to find out the sales for a certain period[startDate - endDate] for each Region that will be selected in the checkbox. Table Sales Fields: SalesID | RegionID | Date | Amount This is how the interface looks like.Thank You.
I have two tables that can be created with sample data using the DDL at the bottom of this post. What I'm looking to do is update the QtyReceived column in tblPurchaseOrderLineDetail from the Qty column in tblReceivedItems. However, the tricky part that I can't figure out is splitting these quantities out over multiple lines. I should only be allowed to receive up to the QtyOrdered column in tblPurchaseOrderLineDetail.
For a specific example from the sample data we'll look at PurchaseOrderDetailID 28526. From the tblReceivedItems, there are three records with quantities of 48, 48, and 20. From the tblPurchaseOrderLineDetail there are three records of QtyOrdered of 55, 45, and 20. What I would like to happen is fulfill the records in the tblPurchaseOrderLineDetail sequentially (essentially in order of ExpectedDate). So, the QtyReceived would be 55, 45, and 16 for the corresponding records. If there is already a quantity in the QtyReceived column, but it's less than the QtyOrdered column, the quantity needs to be added to the column (not overwritten).
DDL To CREATE Sample Tables and Data:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblReceivedItems]( [ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [PurchaseOrderDetailID] [int] NULL, [Qty] [int] NULL) SET IDENTITY_INSERT [dbo].[tblReceivedItems] ON INSERT [dbo].[tblReceivedItems] ([ID], [PurchaseOrderDetailID], [Qty]) VALUES (1, 28191, 48)
I have a problem creating a SELECT query which involves getting the FIRST occurrence, the SUMS and the LAST occurrence of a selected row. I have two tables A and B which has the following data:
Table A
---------------------------------------------------------------- |Item ID | Item Name | Item Description | Current Quantity | ---------------------------------------------------------------- ----1------------Bolts-------------35"----------------20 ----2-----------Paint----------GOLD Paint------------30 ----3-----------Screws------------30"----------------40 ----------------------------------------------------------------
and Table B
-------------------------------------------------------------- |Log ID | Item ID | Beginning | Add | Less | Ending | Date | -------------------------------------------------------------- ---1---------1----------30-------0-----10------20------04-04 ---2---------2----------40-------10----10------40------04-04 ---3---------3----------50-------5-----10------45------04-04 ---4---------1----------20-------0-----0-------20------04-05 ---5---------2----------40-------0-----10------30------04-04 ---6---------3----------45-------0-----5-------40------04-04 -------------------------------------------------------------
and I have two datetime pickers, one FROM date picker and a TO date picker If a user selects FROM 04-04 TO 04-05...I want a select statement which will select the Item Name and Desc, the BEGINNING QUANTITY (in reference to the FROM DATE), the SUM of Adds and Less and the ENDING QUANTITY (in reference to the To Date) and then group by their Item ID
In this case, it will generate a table like this
---------------------------------------------------------- Item Name | Item Desc | Beginning | Add | Less | Ending | ----------------------------------------------------------- --Bolts---------35"---------30---------0-----10-----20 --Paint-----Gold Paint------40---------10----20-----30 --Screws-------30"---------50---------5-----15-----40
"SELECT A.Item Name, A,Item Desc, B.Beginning=(select B.Beginning from Table B where A.Item ID = B.Item ID AND Date = From Date), SUM(B.ADD), SUM(B.LESS), B.Ending=(select B.Ending from Table B where A.Item ID = B.Item ID and Date = To Date) WHERE A.Item ID = B.Item ID and Date(B.Date)>From Date AND Date(B.Date)< To Date group by B.Item ID order by A.Item Name, Item Desc"
My query returns the right Item Name, Desc, the Sum of Add and Less.My problem is that I can't get the value of my beginning and ending.I think I have a problem in A.Item ID = B.Item ID. As I tried a fixed value condition, (B.Item ID = 2), it will get the right result), I'm guessing the program is not getting A.Item ID.
OrderID ControlName 1 Row1COlumn1 (It Means Pant in Red Color is selected by user(relation with Child2 Table)) 1 Row3Column1 (It Means Gown in Blue Color is selected by user(relation with Child2 Table)) 1 Row4Column3 (It Means T Shirt in White Color is selected by user(relation with Child2 Table)) 2 Row1Column2 (It Means Tie in Green Color is selected by user(relation with Child2 Table)) 2 Row3Column1 (It Means Bow in Red Color is selected by user(relation with Child2 Table))
Child2 Table
PackageID Product Color1 Color2 Color3 1 Pant Red Green Blue 1 Shirt Blue Pink Purple 1 Gown Blue Black Yellow 1 T Shirt Red Green White 2 Tie Red Green White 2 Socks Red Green White 2 Bow Red Green White
We want to have result like
OrderID PackageID CustomerName Pant Gown T Shirt Tie Bow
1 1 ABC Red Blue White x x Blue 2 2 Bcd x x x Green Red
I have tried
;with mycte as ( select ms.OrderID,ms.PackageID ,ms.CustomerName , Replace(stuff([ControlName], charindex('Column',ControlName),len(ControlName),''),'Row','') rowNum ,Replace(stuff([ControlName], 1, charindex('Column',ControlName)-1 ,''),'Column','') columnNum From child1 c inner join MasterTable ms on c.Orderid=ms.orderid)
[code]....
it works if we have a product in one color only. like if we have pant in red and blue then its showing just first record
I have got 4 MS Access Database Files, which have got 3 Tables each, means Total 12 Tables which gets updated with new data every evening, by an external application. Means new data gets appended to all these 12 Tables.
I want to have exact same 4 Databases, which have got 3 Tables each, means Total 12 Tables, but WITHIN MS SQL SERVER. And then update all of these 12 Tables every evening, with the corresponding updates from the respective tables from the MS Access Databases.
I do not want to Manually Update all these 12 tables every evening into SQL Server. Hopefully there would be some easier method to do this in automatic manner.
In a Library Management database we have these tables
1) Document ( DocNo , Doc_type , permalink,inDate) 2)Title(id, DocNo,Main_Title, Other_Title) 3)Author(id , Author_Name , Author_Family,Type--Like:main author , translator ,....) 4)Publisher(id,DocNo , Name,Publisedate,address) 5)Subject(id,DocNo,Subject) 6)Description(id,DocNo,ISBN,description)--one document may have some ISBN,etc
In document table I have 500,000 records.
I want to search a word in these tables ,for example i want to search 'Computer' ,this word may be in subject or title or description and etc. How can I do this with best performance?
I need to consume a live data feed from a golf tournament. And by consume, I really mean insert (merge) into our own SQL Server database on a regular intervals as a tournament progresses.This site didn't let me upload an XML file, but you can see a sample of the data feed here: URL....
I need to insert this data into 2 tables, Player_Holes and Player_Shots. But while doing the insert, I need to lookup several things such as our player ID match to theirs on an external_id against the players table. The shot types translation, and some other logic about the process overall.
The columns in my player_holes tables are: id, player_id, hole_id, round, shots (this is a total # of strokes) and date_created/date_modified.Shots table is similar: id, player_id, hole_id, round, shot_number, shot_type_id, club, distance, date_created/date_modified.
The only way I know how to do it, is inefficient. I would parse the XML in ColdFusion (please no comments on ColdFusion, that's what we use for webdev), and then loop over it and do inserts for each player, each hole for each round, and the shots would probably be separate for each hole.
It would be so much better and more efficient if I could do it in SQL directly. I've done some research and SQL Server Data Tools looks promising. I've never used it, so would have to learn, but also I'm not sure if that'd work in this application when we want to run is as a scheduled task every few minutes.
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,
i have database which has 25 tables. all tables have productid column. i need to find total records for product id = 20003 from all the tables in database.
Here is the desired counted output, I would like to pull distinct Date, MachineNumber, TestName and then count how many times they occur in the raw data form.I do need to perform a case on the date because right now its in a datetime format and I only need the date.
I am pulling three columns with the same names from 8 different tables. What I need to display the date, machine & test name and count how many times a test was run on a machine for that date. I have a feeling this can be handled by SSAS but haven't built an analysis cube yet because I am unfamiliar with how they work. I was wondering if this is possible in a simple query. I tried to set something up in a #Temp table. Problem is the query takes forever to run because I am dealing with 1.7 Million rows. Doing an insert into #temp select columnA, columnB, columnC from 8 different tables takes a bit.
I need to search for such SPs in my database in which the queries for update a table contains where clause which uses non primary key while updating rows in table.
If employee table have empId as primary key and an Update query is using empName in where clause to update employee record then such SP should be listed. so there would be hundreds of tables with their primary key and thousands of SPs in a database. How can I find them where the "where" clause is using some other column than its primary key.
If there is any other hint or query to identify such queries that lock tables, I only found the above few queries that are not using primary key in where clause.
I am trying to Write an update string for individual partID's. I wrote this query below but it isn't populating the time to test.
SELECT 'UPDATE Parts SET = [TimeToTest]' + ' ' + Convert(varchar, (select test From [dbo].[db_PartsCats] as c Join Parts As P on P.category = C.CatID Where PartID = 48727)) + ' ' + 'WHERE PartID = ' + CONVERT(varchar, P.PartID) From Parts As P Where FRID = 0 And TimeToTest = 0 and TimeToInstall = 0 and TimeToProgram = 0 And TimeToTrain = 0 And manufacturer = 187 Order By categoryMy results:
Should get UPDATE Parts SET = [TimeToTest] 0.5000 WHERE PartID = 48871 But getting Nulls instead
I have a query currently that looks like this . @Month and @Year are supplied as parameters
SELECT -- select the sum for each year/month combination using a correlated subquery (each result from the main query causes another data retrieval operation to be run) (SELECT SUM(SalesofProductA) FROM #ABC WHERE [Year]=T.[Year] AND [Month]=T.[Month]) AS [Sum_SalesofProductA]
[Code] ...
Right now I see an output like this : for a particular value of @Month and @Year
SalesofProductA, SalesofProductB, SalesofProductC What I would like to see is :
I need to make a query that counts installed developer software for all our developers (from the sccm database), for licensing purposes. The trick here is that a license should only be counted once per. developer and that should be the highest version. But in the database, the developers can have different versions of the software installed (upgrades) on the same computer and they often use several computers with different software versions.
So for example: A source table with two developers
------------------------------------------------------------------- | dev1 | comp1 | Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 | dev1 | comp1 | Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2010 | dev1 | comp2 | Microsoft Visual Studio Premium 2010 | dev2 | comp3 | Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2010 | dev2 | comp4 | Microsoft Visual Studio Premium 2012 --------------------------------------------------------------------
I want the result to be: ----------------------------------------------------- | dev1 | Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 | dev2 | Microsoft Visual Studio Premium 2012 ------------------------------------------------------
I have created a query using cursors that give me the correct result, but it's way to slow to be acceptable (over 20 min..). I also toyed with the idea of creating some sort of CRL proc or function in C# that does the logic, but a SCCM consultant from MS said that if I create any kind of custom objects on the SCCM SQL Server instance, we loose all support from them. So I'm basically stuck with using good old fashioned T-SQL queries.
My idea now, is to use a CTE table and combine it with a Temp table with the software and a rank. I feel that I'm on the right track, but I just can't nail it properly.
This is how far I have come now:
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#swRank') IS NULL CREATE TABLE #swRank(rankID int NOT NULL UNIQUE, vsVersion nvarchar(255)) INSERT INTO #swRank(rankID, vsVersion) VALUES (1, 'Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2013'), (2, 'Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2012'),
i need a query to return the top 10 tables in each database on a server. have used EXEC sp_msforeachtable 'sp_spaceused ''?''' which returns what I need for one db but I need it to loop through and gather the info for all dbs on server. maybe need cursor not sure. for reporting reasons i would like to include the name of the server and name of database.
One of my varchar columns in a table has multiple key words enclosed in a pattern of special characters.
Eg: William Shakespeare was an English [##poet##], [##playwright##], and [##actor##], widely regarded as the greatest [##writer##] in the English language and the world's pre-eminent [##dramatist##]. He is often called England's national [##poet##] and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 [##sonnets##], two long narrative [##poems##], and a few other [##verses##], of which the authorship of some is uncertain. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other [##playwright##].
I need to write to query to find all distinct key words that are enclosed within [## and ##]. My query should yield the following results from the string in the example above
[##actor##] [##dramatist##] [##playwright##] -- 2 occurrances, but I need it only once in my result set [##poems##] [##poet##] -- 2 occurrances, but I need it only once in my result set [##sonnets##] [##verses##] [##writer##]
I need to run this on a large table, so I am looking for the best possible way to minimize any performance issues.
Just give you sample code, I have provided below 2 separate snippets, one with table variable and another with temp table.
DECLARE @MyTable TABLE (MyString VARCHAR (8000)) INSERT @MyTable VALUES ('William Shakespeare was an English [##poet##], [##playwright##], and [##actor##], widely regarded as the greatest [##writer##] in the English language and the world''s pre-eminent [##dramatist##].

His extant works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 [##sonnets##], two long narrative [##poems##], and a few other [##verses##], of which the authorship of some is uncertain.
Given the below table relationships, I am trying to update the price of disk by %20 percent that were interpreted by 'Joe Smith'. I took a crack at this, but I do not feel comfortable with it. Do I need to do some type of join or union?
UPDATE Disk SET price = price *.20 WHERE Interpreter.name = ‘Joe Smith;
