I have about 5 statements like the update below, depending on the PID different columns will be update "C2005, G2005,E2005...."
I would like to use 1 update statement in stead of 5 to update all columns below are 2 original update statements and my attempt at when then update. Note a different column is updated depending on the PID.
If when then isnt possible, any other suggestions are welcomed. Thanks
UPDATE #Sec
SET C2005 = Pos.USD / 1000
FROM #Sec INNER JOIN
Pos ON #Sec.ID = Pos.ID
WHERE (Pos.PID = 'B')
UPDATE #Sec
SET G2005 = Pos.USD / 1000
FROM #Sec INNER JOIN
Pos ON #Sec.ID = Pos.ID
WHERE (Pos.PID = 'G')
UPDATE #Sec
WHEN (Pos.PID = 'C') THEN SET C2005 = Pos.USD / 1000 end
WHEN (Pos.PID = 'G') THEN SET G2005 = Pos.USD / 1000 end
WHEN (Pos.PID = 'E') THEN SET E2005 = Pos.USD / 1000 end
FROM #Sec INNER JOIN
Pos ON #Sec.ID = Pos.ID
Hi,I have table with three columns as belowtable name:expNo(int) name(char) refno(int)I have data as belowNo name refno1 a2 b3 cI need to update the refno with no values I write a query as belowupdate exp set refno=(select no from exp)when i run the query i got error asSubquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when thesubquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used asan expression.I need to update one colum with other column value.What is the correct query for this ?Thanks,Mani
Is it generally or almost always better to have multiplesmall SPs and functions to return a result set instead ofusing a single big 1000+ lines SP?I have one SP for example that is 1000+ lines and earlyanalysis of the SP I see it first has 3 big blocks of codeseparated by IF statements. Then within each IF blockof code I see 3-4 UNIONs. UNIONs that meansthey are all returning the same columns so I amguessing these are prime candidates for becomingindividual functions or SPs, maybe even dynamic SPs.Obviously I am not showing you the code but am Iright to think this way? This same SP has about 15 JOINsincluding some LEFT JOINs and one LEFT JOIN to a (SELECTstatement) and almost all the tables referenced by theseJOINs have thousands of records, very possibly hundreds ofthousands.The SELECT statement is returning 30-40 columns froma lot of the these tables plus I also see a lot of CASE ELSEstatements within the main SELECT statement. The code ofeach CASE statement is calling a function. As an exampleif the CASE is for EmployeeID then a function is being calledto get the EmployeeID's FirstName and LastName. If the CASEis for CustomerID then another function is being called to getthe Customer Name.I am thinking to cut this big SP to many smaller SPs and/or functionsand I also plan on using table variable(s) to hold temporary resultwhile I continue processing the records from the table variablewith other code logic.Also I want to leave as the last thing to do is to convert the"machine result", i.e. EmployeeID or CustomerID to "humanreadable result", i.e. Employee FirstName and LastName,Customer Name.I am trying to test this on the Northwind's Employees table,but the Statistics IO, Time and the Execution Plan aresomething I've only started to use. I am unable to makeconclusion which method is better. I'll work on posting anotherpost specifically with details to this test that I am currently doing.My opinion is that by having 1 single SP with 15+ join causea lot more locking than if I would run smaller SPs and store theresult into temp table variables and continue processing theremaining code logic.I would like to know what you think and if I am right or wrongon how I want to optimize this SP?Thank you
I have been trying to solve this problem for the last 2 days but no luck.
Here is the problem that I am facing.
The task on had is to transfer data from a single table (the source) to multiple files (Destination) based on the record type.
I have tried changing the Datasource property of the Text File Connection object dynamically by using an ActiveX Script. But the data is still being written only to one file.
I am currently having this problem with gridview and detailview. When I drag either onto the page and set my select statement to pick from one table and then update that data through the gridview (lets say), the update works perfectly. My problem is that the table I am pulling data from is mainly foreign keys. So in order to hide the number values of the foreign keys, I select the string value columns from the tables that contain the primary keys. I then use INNER JOIN in my SELECT so that I only get the data that pertains to the user I am looking to list and edit. I run the "test query" and everything I need shows up as I want it. I then go back to the gridview and change the fields which are foreign keys to templates. When I edit the templates I bind the field that contains the string value of the given foreign key to the template. This works great, because now the user will see string representation instead of the ID numbers that coinside with the string value. So I run my webpage and everything show up as I want it to, all the data is correct and I get no errors. I then click edit (as I have checked the "enable editing" box) and the gridview changes to edit mode. I make my changes and then select "update." When the page refreshes, and the gridview returns, the data is not updated and the original data is shown. I am sorry for so much typing, but I want to be as clear as possible with what I am doing. The only thing I can see being the issue is that when I setup my SELECT and FROM to contain fields from multiple tables, the UPDATE then does not work. When I remove all of my JOIN's and go back to foreign keys and one table the update works again. Below is what I have for my SQL statements:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SELECT:SELECT People.FirstName, People.LastName, People.FullName, People.PropertyID, People.InviteTypeID, People.RSVP, People.Wheelchair, Property.[House/Day Hab], InviteType.InviteTypeName FROM (InviteType INNER JOIN (Property INNER JOIN People ON Property.PropertyID = People.PropertyID) ON InviteType.InviteTypeID = People.InviteTypeID) WHERE (People.PersonID = ?)UPDATE:UPDATE [People] SET [FirstName] = ?, [LastName] = ?, [FullName] = ?, [PropertyID] = ?, [InviteTypeID] = ?, [RSVP] = ?, [Wheelchair] = ? WHERE [PersonID] = ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The only fields I want to update are in [People]. My WHERE is based on a control that I use to select a person from a drop down list. If I run the test query for the update while setting up my data source the query will update the record in the database. It is when I try to make the update from the gridview that the data is not changed. If anything is not clear please let me know and I will clarify as much as I can. This is my first project using ASP and working with databases so I am completely learning as I go. I took some database courses in college but I have never interacted with them with a web based front end. Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for any time, help, and/or advice you can give.Brian
Ok I have a query "SELECT ColumnNames FROM tbl1" let's say the values returned are "age,sex,race".
Now I want to be able to create an "update" statement like "UPATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race" dynamically and execute this UPDATE statement. So, if the next select statement returns "age, sex, race, gender" then the script should create "UPDATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race + gender" and execute it.
i was tasked to created an UPDATE statement for 6 tables , i would like to update 4 columns within the 6 tables , they all contains the same column names. the table gets its information from the source table, however the data that is transferd to the 6 tables are sometimes incorrect , i need to write a UPDATE statement that will automatically correct the data. the Update statement should also contact a where clause
the columns are [No] , [Salesperson Code], [Country Code] and [Country Name]
i was thinking of doing
Update [tablename] SET [No] = CASE WHEN [No] ='AF01' THEN 'Country Code' = 'ZA7' AND 'Country Name' = 'South Africa' ELSE 'Null' END
Hello,I am trying to update records in my database from excel data using vbaeditor within excel.In order to launch a query, I use SQL langage in ADO as follwing:------------------------------------------------------------Dim adoConn As ADODB.ConnectionDim adoRs As ADODB.RecordsetDim sConn As StringDim sSql As StringDim sOutput As StringsConn = "DSN=MS Access Database;" & _"DBQ=MyDatabasePath;" & _"DefaultDir=MyPathDirectory;" & _"DriverId=25;FIL=MS Access;MaxBufferSize=2048;PageTimeout=5;" &_"PWD=xxxxxx;UID=admin;"ID, A, B C.. are my table fieldssSql = "SELECT ID, `A`, B, `C being a date`, D, E, `F`, `H`, I, J,`K`, L" & _" FROM MyTblName" & _" WHERE (`A`='MyA')" & _" AND (`C`>{ts '" & Format(Date, "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss") & "'})"& _" ORDER BY `C` DESC"Set adoConn = New ADODB.ConnectionadoConn.Open sConnSet adoRs = New ADODB.RecordsetadoRs.Open Source:=sSql, _ActiveConnection:=adoConnadoRs.MoveFirstSheets("Sheet1").Range("a2").CopyFromRecordset adoRsSet adoRs = NothingSet adoConn = Nothing---------------------------------------------------------------Does Anyone know How I can use the UPDATE, DELETE INSERT SQL statementsin this environement? Copying SQL statements from access does not workas I would have to reference Access Object in my project which I do notwant if I can avoid. Ideally I would like to use only ADO system andSQL approach.Thank you very muchNono
It appears to update only the first qualifying row. The trace shows a row count of one when there are multiple qualifying rows in the table. This problem does not exist in JDBC 2000.
I'm writing a fairly involved stored procedure. In this Stored Procedure, I have an update statement, followed by a select statement. The results of the select statement should be effected by the previous update statement, but its not. When the stored procedure is finish, the update statement seemed to have worked though, so it is working.
I suspect I need something, like a GO statement, but that doesnt seem to work for a stored procedure. Can anyone offer some assistance?
i wonder what is the best approach to use !!!i have creditLimit column in Customer Table the default value will be 500 and this limit to allow users to send sms from my website ..... every month they will be allowed to send 500 sms referring to the credit limit column.... now !!if the user sent today some sms and after few days sent another 20 and after one week he sent 150 SMS as a total so that means he has only 350 SMS as credit to use this month!!!so what is the best approach to implement this solution ? shall i have another field in the table called 'CreditUsed' and that will be updated each time the user will send SMS and this value will be compared with the credit limit ORi use the formula for the column to calculate the credit left and do the maths !!!what is the best approach as you think ???thnaks for reading this question !!

We are thinking of using general purpose column names in our application schema. We want to give the option to the end user to customize the filed names to fit their business . We want to build the functionality on the generic names so that it will work for multiple customes.
Example: We may want to have 10 Strings, 10 numbers and 5 booleans pre defined and reports running off of the table. The customer can name first number as pressure, second one for length and map their data to the table. Other customer can use the first number for temperature and the second one for width.
Is there a way to do it in SQL server w/o having a lookup table for column name aliasing?
I run the following statement and it will not update beyond 7 million plus rows and I have about 38 million to complete. I keep checking updated row counts and after 1/2 day it's still the same so I know something is wrong because it was rolling through no problem when I initiated it. I need to complete ASAP so it's adding to my frustration. The 'Acct_Num_CH' field is an encrypted field (fyi).
SET rowcount 10000 UPDATE [dbo].[CC_Info_T] SET [Acct_Num_CH] = 'ayIWt6C8sgimC6t61EJ9d8BB3+bfIZ8v' WHERE [Acct_Num_CH] IS NOT NULL WHILE @@ROWCOUNT > 0 BEGIN SET rowcount 10000 UPDATE [dbo].[CC_Info_T] SET [Acct_Num_CH] = 'ayIWt6C8sgimC6t61EJ9d8BB3+bfIZ8v' WHERE [Acct_Num_CH] IS NOT NULL END SET rowcount 0

In SQL7, if you add a column to a table, is it necessary to recompile all stored procs that reference that table? Under 6.5, this caused problems at our site unless the Procs were 'refreshed'. Is this only necessary where select * is used? Thanks

THe unique Id column is set to identity seed. Yet when transfering 1500 records it fails to stuff them all becuase it says there is a NULL in unique id column. "Cannot insert the value NULL into column UID column does not allow" Yet in the transformation screen I am setting the UID column to <ignore> meaning I do not have that value in my source and I am wanting the destination table to do it's thing and incrememnt by 1 the identity seed. Is this common? THe source and destination tables are in the same databes.
Hi all,We're selecting data from our database, FirstName, LastName, MobileNumber etc.We're using the detaials view function to return it in a table upon selection. However all of the variables are returned as they are in the database, ie: without spaces. We tried putting in spaces by selecting "AS what ever", but MSSQL does not seem to like spaces.Any ideas?Thanks

I have a complex view in my sql 2005 database. The view returns a column that could be null (as the result of a left outer join). The coulmn that is returned is an integer. Everything works fine if I run the view from SQL 2005 Management Studio. My column value is always null if I use ADO.NET's SqlAdapter to return a DataTable. Has anybody seen this behaviour before? Any help appreciated. Regards, Paul.
