Trying To Create A Proc That Will Insert Values Based On A Condition That Is Another Table

Feb 16, 2005

Can someone give me a clue on this. I'm trying to insert values based off of values in another table.





I'm comparing wether two id's (non keys in the db) are the same in two fields (that is the where statement. Based on that I'm inserting into the Results table in the PledgeLastYr collumn a 'Y' (thats what I want to do -- to indicate that they have pledged over the last year).





Two questions





1. As this is set up right now I'm getting NULL values inserted into the PledgeLastYr collumn. I'm sure this is a stupid syntax problem that i'm overlooking but if someone can give me a hint that would be great.





2. How would I go about writing an If / Else statement in T-SQL so that I can have the Insert statement for both the Yes they have pledged and No they have not pledged all in one stored proc. I'm not to familar with the syntax of writing conditional statements within T-SQL as of yet, and if someone can give me some hints on how to do that it would be greatly appriciated.








Thanks in advance, bellow is the code that I have so far:





RB











Select Results.custID, Results.PledgeLastYr


From Results, PledgeInLastYear


Where Results.custID = PledgeInLastYear.constIDPledgeInLastYear


Insert Into Results(PledgeLastYr)


Values ('Y')

Insert Columns Into Table Based On Condition?

Jan 30, 2015

My requirement is below.enhancing the T- sql query as I was told not to use SSIS.

Insert data from Table A to Table B with conditions:

1. Truncate gender to one character if necessary.

2. Convert character fields to uppercase as necessary.

3. For systems that supply both residential and mailing addresses, use the residential address if available (both street_address and zip fields have value), mailing address otherwise.

In SSIS I took conditional split with 'ISNULL(res_street_address) == TRUE || ISNULL(res_zip) == TRUE '

default outputname :Consider Res Address; Outputname:Consider mail address.

and mapped as:

(Table A) mail_street_address---street address(Table B)

(Table A) mail_city----------------City(Table B)

(Table A) mail_Zip----------------Zip(Table B)

(Table A) mail_state-------------state(Table B)

(Table A) res_street_address--street address(Table B)

(Table A) res_city---------------City(Table B)

(Table A) res_Zip----------------Zip(Table B)

(Table A) res_state--------------state(Table B)

I want to do the same with T-sql code too:

I came up with below T-SQl but unable to pick(street,city,state,zip columns as I have take combination of street and zip from Table A not individual columns as I wrote in below query) based on above condition(3):

Insert into TABLE B
SELECT
Stats_ID
,UPPER(first_name) first_name
,UPPER(middle_name )middle_name
,UPPER(last_name) last_name
,UPPER(name_suffix) name_suffix

[code]....

Insert Into Temp Table Based On If Condition

Apr 12, 2006

hello all,this might be simple:I populate a temp table based on a condition from another table:select @condition = condition from table1 where id=1 [this will giveme either 0 or 1]in my stored procedure I want to do this:if @condition = 0beginselect * into #tmp_tablefrom products pinner joinsales s on p.p_data = s.p_dataendelsebeginselect * into #tmp_tablefrom products pleft joinsales s on p.p_data = s.p_dataendTha above query would not work since SQL thinks I am trying to use thesame temp table twice.As you can see the major thing that gets effected with the condictionbeing 0/1 is the join (inner or outer). The actual SQL is much biggerwith other joins but the only thing changing in the 2 sql's is the joinbetween products and sales tables.any ideas gurus on how to use different sql's into temp table based onthe condition?thanksadi

Insert Into Tabel Based On Values In The Table!

May 16, 2008

Hi i am trying to create an insert statement that will insert rows into a table based on the information in the table already.
the table looks like this

Groupid field1 field2
-1 100 200
-1 100 300
-1 300 500
-1 300 600
-1 400 100


the insert looks like this

INSERT Into table1(groupid,field1,field2)
select -1,@passedvalue,field2
from table1
where field1 = @passedvalue1

assume @passedvalue = 700, @passwedvalue1 = 100
Now this is fine however i cannot have a duplicate key (key is comibantion of all 3 fields) thus the first time this runs it works however if it runs again it fails - how can i change the where clause to ignore rows that already exist?
eg if @passedvalue = 300 and passedvalue1 = 500

How To Insert Rows To Table B Based On Values In Table A.

Mar 7, 2008



I need Insert rows in the OrderDetails Table based on values in the Orders Table

In the Orders table i have a columns called OrderID and ISale.
In the OrdersDetails i have columns called OrderID and SaleType


For each value in the OrderID Column of the Orders Table, anytime the ISale Column in the Orders table = 1, and the SalesType column in the OrderDetails table is empty, I want to add two rows in the OrderDetails table. One row with the value K and another row with the value KD.
That is a row will be added and the value in the SalesType column will be K, also a second row will be added and the value in the SalesType column will be KD



Also for each value in the OrderID Column of the Orders Table, anytime the ISale Column in the Orders table = 0, and the SalesType column in the OrderDetails table is empty, I want to add two rows in the OrderDetails table. One row with the value Q and another row with the value QD
That is a row will be added and the value in the SalesType column will be Q, also a second row will be added and the value in the SalesType column will be QD.


I need a SQL Script to accomplish this. thanks

Insert Multiple Rows To Table Based On Values From Other 2 Tables.

Nov 21, 2007

I have a form to assign JOB SITES to previously created PROJECT.  The  JOB SITES appear in the DataList as it varies based on customer. It can be 3 to 50 JOB SITES per PROJECT.
I have "PROJECT" table with all necessary fields for project information and "JOBSITES" table for job sites. I also created a new table called "PROJECTSITES"  which has only 2 columns:  "ProjectId" and "SiteId".
What I am trying to do is to insert multiple rows into that "PROJECTSITES" table based on which checkbox was checked.  The checkbox is located next to each site and I want to be able to select only the ones I need. Btw the Datalist is located inside of a formview and has it's own datasource which already distincts which JOBSITES to display.
Sample:
ProjectId    -    SiteId
1   -   5
1    -   9
1    -   16
1    -   18
1    -   20
1    -   27
1    -   31
ProjectId stays the same, only values for SiteId are being different.
I hope I explaining it right. Do I have to use some sort of loop to go through the automatically populated DataList records and how do I make a multiple inserts to database table? We use SQL Server 2005 and VB for code behind. Please ask if I missed on some information. Thank you in advance.

Insert Rows Based On Number Of Distinct Values In Another Table?

May 21, 2014

I have a table with PO#,Days_to_travel, and Days_warehouse fields. I take the distinct Days_in_warehouse values in the table and insert them into a temp table. I want a script that will insert all of the values in the Days_in_warehouse field from the temp table into the Days_in_warehouse_batch row in table 1 by PO# duplicating the PO records until all of the POs have a record per distinct value.

Example:

Temp table: (Contains only one field with all distinct values in table 1)
Days_in_warehouse
20
30
40

Table 1 :

PO# Days_to_travel Days_in_warehouse Days_in_warehouse_batch
1 10 20
2 5 30
3 7 40

Updated Table 1:

PO# Days_to_travel Days_in_warehouse Days_in_warehouse_batch
1 10 20 20
1 10 20 30
1 10 20 40
2 5 30 20
2 5 30 30
2 5 30 40
3 7 40 20
3 7 40 30
3 7 40 40

how can I update Table 1 to get desired results?

HELP With SQL Query: Select Multiple Values From One Column Based On &&<= Condition.

Aug 7, 2007

Hello all. I hope someone can offer me some help. I'm trying to construct a SQL statement that will be run on a Dataset that I have. The trick is that there are many conditions that can apply. I'll describe my situation:

I have about 1700 records in a datatable titled "AISC_Shapes_Table" with 49 columns. What I would like to do is allow the user of my VB application to 'create' a custom query (i.e. advanced search). For now, I'll just discuss two columns; The Section Label titled "AISC_MANUAL_LABEL" and the Weight column "W". The data appears in the following manner:

(AISC_Shapes_Table)

AISC_MANUAL_LABEL W
W44x300 300
W42x200 200
(and so on)
WT22x150 150
WT21x100 100

(and so on)
MT12.5x12.4 12.4
MT12x10 10
(etc.)

I have a listbox which users can select MULTIPLE "Manual Labels" or shapes. They then select a property (W for weight, in this case) and a limitation (greater than a value, less than a value, or between two values). From all this, I create a custom Query string or filter to apply to my BindingSource.Filter method. However I have to use the % wildcard to deal with exceptions. If the user only wants W shapes, I use "...LIKE 'W%'" and "...NOT LIKE 'WT%" to be sure to select ONLY W shapes and no WT's. The problems arises, however, when the user wants multiple shapes in general. If I want to select all the "AISC_MANUAL_LABEL" values with W <= 40, I can't do it. An example of a statement I tried to use to select WT% Labels and MT% labels with weight (W)<=100 is:




Code SnippetSELECT AISC_MANUAL_LABEL, W
FROM AISC_Shape_Table
WHERE (W <= 100) AND ((AISC_MANUAL_LABEL LIKE 'MT%') AND (AISC_MANUAL_LABEL LIKE 'WT%'))



It returns a NULL value to me, which i know is NOT because no such values exist. So, I further investigated and tried to use a subquery seeing if IN, ANY, or ALL would work, but to no avail. Can anyone offer up any suggestions? I know that if I can get an example of ONE of them to work, then I'll easily be able to apply it to all of my cases. Otherwise, am I just going about this the hard way or is it even possible? Please, ANY suggestions will help. Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Steve G.

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Stored Procedure To Truncate And Insert Values In Table 1 And Update And Insert Values In Table 2

Apr 30, 2015

table2 is intially populated (basically this will serve as historical table for view); temptable and table2 will are similar except that table2 has two extra columns which are insertdt and updatedt

process:
1. get data from an existing view and insert in temptable
2. truncate/delete contents of table1
3. insert data in table1 by comparing temptable vs table2 (values that exists in temptable but not in table2 will be inserted)
4. insert data in table2 which are not yet present (comparing ID in t2 and temptable)
5. UPDATE table2 whose field/column VALUE is not equal with temptable. (meaning UNMATCHED VALUE)

* for #5 if a value from table2 (historical table) has changed compared to temptable (new result of view) this must be updated as well as the updateddt field value.

How To Make Table Row Invisible Based On Certain Condition

Apr 16, 2008



HI

I have the following scenario in my report.


-The data is displayed in a table
-The table groups by one field
-Each table row calls a subreport
-There is about 6 paramaters in the report
-The last paramater of the list of paramters is a multivalue paramater and based on what is selected in the list the corresponding subreport must be shown.
-So i use a custom vbscript funtion to determine if a specific value was selected or not.
This functionality is working fine.

My problem is if the user does not select all the values in the multi select then i want to make the row invisble
and remove the whitespace so that there is not a gap between the other subreports which is shown.

I can make the subreport invisible inside the row but there is still the white space which does not display very nicly.

How can i make the row invisible if the vbscript function that is called returns a false value?

Here is the funtion I call -> Code.InArray("ValueToSearchFor", Parameters!MultiValueDropDown.Value)

The Function returns a true or false.

Thanks.

 and so on following the series for every set of same ID with 5 entries for each ID

I need to Find Maximum interval time for each ID and for condition in given message (between message like Start and Stop) I used below query and it works fine

select Id, max(CreatedDate) AS 'MaxDate',min(CreatedDate) AS 'MinDate',
DATEDIFF(second,min(CreatedDate),max(CreatedDate)) AS 'MaxResponseTimeinSeconds' from Table where Id in (
SELECT distinct Id
from Table
where Message like  'stop')
group by Id

Above query displays max response time for ID A00ze as 20 minutes, but stop message has occured at 7.15. I would need to modify the query to return max response time  as 15 min(from 7.00 to 7.15).

Difference of starttime(where A00ze id started) and stoptime(where stop string is found in message).

Using SQL Server 7 w/SP4.

I need to insert into another table the results of a query. Thought about using a temp table for the first query results, then querying those for the insert, but can't figure out how to pass the search results as a value.

Example:

SELECT ID, NAME FROM tbl2 WHERE ID BETWEEN 1 AND 50

IF @@ROWCOUNT > 0 BEGIN
INSERT INTO tblAudit
(ID, NAME)

Stored Proc To Get Single Person From A Table Based On Earliest Datetime

Oct 13, 2005

Hi,

I'm having problems with a stored procedure, that i'm hoping someone can help me with.

I have a table with 2 columns - Username (varchar), LastAllocation (datetime)

The Username column will always have values, LastAllocation may have NULL values. Example

Username | LastAllocation
------------------------
Greg | 02 October 2005 15:30
John | 02 October 2005 18:00
Mike | <NULL>

My stored procedure needs to pull back a user name with the following criteria:

If any <NULL> dates send username of first person where date is null, sorted alphabetically, otherwise send username of person with earliest date from LastAllocation

Then update the LastAllocation column with GETDate() for that username.

This SP will be called repeatedly, so all users will eventually have a date, then will be cycled through from earliest date. I wrote an SP to do this, but it seems to be killing my server - the sp works, but I then can't view the values in the table in Enterprise Manager. SP is below - can anyone see what could be causing the problem, or have a better soln?
Thanks

{[If [table with this name] already exists [in this sql database] then [ don't create another one] else [create it and populate it with these values]}
 
How would I do this?

Create Target Table Dynamically Based On Source Table Schema?

Sep 13, 2005

I’ve got a situation where the columns in a table we’re grabbing from a source database keep changing as we need more information from that database. As new columns are added to the source table, I would like to dynamically look for those new columns and add them to our local database’s schema if new ones exist. We’re dropping and creating our target db table each time right now based on a pre-defined known schema, but what we really want is to drop and recreate it based on a dynamic schema, and then import all of the records from the source table to ours.It looks like a starting point might be EXEC sp_columns_rowset 'tablename' and then creating some kind of dynamic SQL statement based on that. However, I'm hoping someone might have a resource that already handles this that they might be able to steer me towards.Sincerely, 
Bryan Ax
