How To Insert Into A Table Using A Select From Xml
Dec 20, 2007
Good Day,
I am passing some XML into a stored procedure:
<answers>
<answer id="60" text="" />
<answer id="65" text="A moderate form of learning disability" />
<answer id="68" text="We will keep ASD checked" />
<answer id="70" text="" />
</answers>
Along with a memberid and questionid.
I was wondering how I can get this into a table CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Answers](
[PrimaryKeyID] [int] NOT NULL,
[MemberID] [int] NOT NULL,
[QuestionID] [int] NOT NULL,
[AnswerID] [int] NOT NULL,
[FreText] [varchar](255) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]What I would also like to do is if the text attribute is empty then put a NULL in the FreText field.I think I am looking for Insert into MyTable (
Select
@MemID,
@QuesID,
'somexpathforanswer',
'somexpathfortext' -- if empty then NULL
From
@MyXML ) Any ideas - places to to look - thoughts AprreciatedKal
For reasons that are not relevant (though I explain them below *), Iwant, for all my users whatever privelige level, an SP which createsand inserts into a temporary table and then another SP which reads anddrops the same temporary table.My users are not able to create dbo tables (eg dbo.tblTest), but arepermitted to create tables under their own user (eg MyUser.tblTest). Ihave found that I can achieve my aim by using code like this . . .SET @SQL = 'CREATE TABLE ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstIDDATETIME)'EXEC (@SQL)SET @SQL = 'INSERT INTO ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())'EXEC (@SQL)This becomes exceptionally cumbersome for the complex INSERT & SELECTcode. I'm looking for a simpler way.Simplified down, I am looking for something like this . . .CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestInsert ASCREATE TABLE tblTest(tstID DATETIME)INSERT INTO tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())GOCREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestSelect ASSELECT * FROM tblTestDROP TABLE tblTestIn the above example, if the SPs are owned by dbo (as above), CREATETABLE & DROP TABLE use MyUser.tblTest while INSERT & SELECT usedbo.tblTest.If the SPs are owned by the user (eg MyUser.TestInsert), it workscorrectly (MyUser.tblTest is used throughout) but I would have to havea pair of SPs for each user.* I have MS Access ADP front end linked to a SQL Server database. Forreports with complex datasets, it times out. Therefore it suit mypurposes to create a temporary table first and then to open the reportbased on that temporary table.
Hi I have a table called Version and its attributes are Version_ID, Project_ID , Hospital_ ID , Date_Created and comments. I want to select the data by Version_ID,Project_ID and Hospital_ID and the selected data is inserted in the same table(Version) as new row . Table: Version (Version_ID(Primary_key), Project_ID(Foreign_Key),Hospital_ID(Foreign_Key),Date_Created,Comments). Iam using Visual Web Developer Express and SQL Server 2005. Iam doing on asp.net 2.0. Could anyone please send me the code asp.net 2.0 for the above problem.
i have tbl_location which includes userid, building, room. i combine the building and room into one feild called mailstop
SELECT Userid, Building +'/'+Room AS mailstop FROM tbl_Location
i then want to take this recordset and insert it into a field called mailstop in my employee table. but they must based upon the userid of the location table and the userid of the employee table.
so the userid of the location table must match the userid of the employee table and insert that mailstop value into the mailstop feild in employee table. i want to get this right the first time. any help would be greatly appreciated.
What will be the best way to go to select summary data from a big table with detail records and insert it into another table.
The source table contains approx 100 million detail records for a couple of months. I have a select statement that select a summary of the latest month's data and it average about 15 million records for the month which i want to insert into another table. In the past i just used a standard insert into statement but not the best way of doing it.
If a view is created with just the last months summary data and i select from the view will the performance be better or will it just add more overhead?
Will a SSIS package work better to insert the summary data?

Hi, I've got a table with trialsubscriptions. When someone orders a trialsubscription he has to fill in a form. With the values in the form I like to fill a database with some extra fields from the trialsubscription table. I get those extra fields with a datareader. But when I insert I can't use the same datareader (its an insert), I can't make two datareaders because I have to close the first one etc. Does someone had the same problem and has some example code (or make some :-)) Some keywords are also possible! Thanks! Roel
What's the best way to go about inserting data from several tables that all contain the same type of data I want to store (employeeID, employerID, date.. etc) into a temp table based on a select query that filters each table's data?
anyone can help me? i using sp to select a select statement from a join table. due to the requirement, i need to group the data into monthly/weekly basic.
so i already collect the data for the month and use the case to make a new compute column in the selete statement call weekGroup. this is just a string showing "week 1", "week 2" .... "week 5".
so now i want to group the weekgroup and disply the average mark. so i need to insert all the record from the select statement into the temporary table and then use 2nd select statement to collect the new data in 5 record only. may i know how to make this posible?
I have a historical table on a dedicated SQL Server (let's call it the reporting db) that is populated every morning with production data that does not already exist. The data in the prod table is purged after 7 days and nothing is ever deleted from the historical table. I have set up the linked server between the two 2008 SQL Servers, but when I try to run this simple query from the reporting DB, it takes more than 5 minutes and still "executing". I eventually have to cancel it:
-- INSERT INTO Temp_Import_historical SELECT TOP 1 * FROM [192.168.1.100].ProdDB.dbo.Temp_Import_historical a WHERE NOT EXISTS (select [Temp_Import_ID] from Temp_Import_historical where a.[Temp_Import_ID] = Temp_Import_historical.[Temp_Import_ID])
I have omitted the INSERT statement on purpose, since I can't even get to output 1 row. Why this is such a resource intensive query?
I am having issues getting this to work. I have the user login to a page to put in a request for vacation. When they login, I have a label that isn't visible that is equal to their User.Identity.Name. I select the user from the employee table where the username = the label User Identity Name and pull in the emp_id which is the primary key that identifies the user. I need to insert the request into the request table with the emp_id from the select statement, without showing the em_id on the screen. I tried using a hidden field and assigning the emp_id as the value, but it isn't working. Not sure if this is the best way to do this. Really new to ASP.NET 2.0 so I really appreciate any help. Thank you!
Hi all,We have an application through which we are bulk inserting rows into aview. The definition of the view is such that it selects columns froma table on a remote server. I have added the servers usingsp_addlinkedserver on both database servers.When I call the Commit API of oledb I get the following error:Error state: 1, Severity: 19, Server: TST-PROC22, Line#: 1, msg:SqlDumpExceptionHandler: Process 66 generated fatal exception c0000005EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. SQL Server is terminating this process.I would like to know if we can bulk insert rows into a view thataccesses a table on the remote server using the "bulk insert" or bcpcommand. I tried a small test through SQL Query Analyser to use "bulkinsert" on a such a view.The test that I performed was the following:On database server 1 :create table iqbal (var1 int, var2 int)On database server 2 (remote server):create view iqbal as select var1,var2 from[DBServer1].[SomeDB].[dbo].[iqbal]set xact_abort onbulk insert iqbal from '\MachineIqbaliqbaldata.txt'The bulk insert operation failed with the following error message:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionCheckForData(CheckforData()).Server: Msg 11, Level 16, State 1, Line 0General network error. Check your network documentation.Connection BrokenThe file iqbaldata.txt contents were :112233If the table that the view references is on the same server then weare able to bulk insert successfully.Is there a way by which I should be able to bulk insert rows into aview that selects from a table on a remote server. If not then couldanyone suggest a workaround. I would actually like to know someworkaround to get the code working using OLEDB. Due to unavoidablereasons I cannot output the records to the file and then use bcp tobulk insert the records in the remote table. I need to have some wayof doing it using OLEDB.Thanks in advanceIqbal
I'm trying to fill a temp table whose columns are the same as another table plus it has one more column. The temp table's contents are those rows in the other table that meet a particular condition plus another column that is the name of the table that is the source for the rows being added.
Example: 'permTable' has col1 and col2. The data in these two rows plus the name of the table from which it came ('permTable' in this example) are to be added to #temp.
Data in permTable col1 col2 11, 12 21, 22
Data in #temp after permTable's filtered contents have been added
INSERT INTO #tmpTable (eventName) values ('Another One')
DROP TABLE #tmpTable
this causes a null insert issue
(0 row(s) affected)
Msg 515, Level 16, State 2, Line 7
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'statuspid', table 'tempdb.dbo.#tmpTable___________________________________________________________________________________________________________000000000130'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
The statement has been terminated.
So how do I allow the null, as the not null is coming from the ES table. But I want to allow the insert to happen without having to create the table first, this code works in SQL 2000 but fails in 2005, inserting all fileds into the insert also has it's own issues as some of the fields are delibertly left blank so in some circumstances the data returned to a grid displays correctly.
This method has been used in quite a lot of stored procedures and will be a nightmare to correct if each has to be edited.
One example of the use of is to return a dataset and then add a row at the bottom which is a sum of all the rows.
I have created a trigger that is set off every time a new item has been added to TableA.The trigger then inserts 4 rows into TableB that contains two columns (item, task type).
Each row will have the same item, but with a different task type.ie.
I had a function like below :Public Sub Getdata2(ByVal query, ByVal db, ByVal name) Dim selectSQL As StringDim con As SqlConnection Dim cmd As SqlCommand Dim reader As SqlDataReader Trycon = New SqlConnection("User ID=xxx;password=xxx;persist security info=True;Initial Catalog=database1;Data Source=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,xxxxx;") Dim username As String username = Request.QueryString("username") selectSQL = "SET DATEFORMAT DMY;Insert into table1(hse_num, st_name, proj_name, unit_num, postal, n_postal, flr_area, flr_sf, flr_rate, flr_ra_sf, land_area, land_sf, land_rate, lnd_ra_sf, prop_code, cont_date, title, sisv_ref, r_date, rec_num, source, username, DGP, Remarks, Sub_Code, caveat, consider, age) select hse_num, st_name, proj_name, unit_num, postal, n_postal, flr_area, flr_sf, flr_rate, flr_ra_sf, land_area, land_sf, land_rate, lnd_ra_sf, prop_code, cont_date, title, sisv_ref, r_date, rec_num, source, '" & username & "', DGP, Remarks, Sub_Code, caveat, consider, age from [yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy,yyyy].database2.dbo.table2 where " & querycmd = New SqlCommand(selectSQL, con) con.Open() reader = cmd.ExecuteReader() lbl.Text = selectSQLCatch ex As Exception lbl.Text = ex.Message Finally If (Not con Is Nothing) Then con.Close() con.Dispose() End If End Try End Sub '------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- May i know that how do i retrieve data from [yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy,yyyy].database2.dbo.table2 due to diffrent server, diffrent UID and Password
I hope someone can answer this, I'm not even sure where to start looking for documentation on this. The SQL query I'm referencing is included at the bottom of this post.
I have a query with 3 select statements joined together like tables. It works great, except for the fact that I need to declare a variable and make it a table within two of those 3. The example is below. You'll see that I have three select statements made into tables A, B, and C, and that table A has a variable @years, which is a table.
This works when I just run table A by itself, but when I execute the entire query, I get an error about the "declare" keyword, and then some other errors near the word "as" and the ")" character. These are some of those errors that I find pretty meaningless that just mean I've really thrown something off.
So, am I not allowed to declare a variable within these SELECT tables that I'm creating and joining?
Thanks in advance, Andy

I'm doing a INSERT...SELECT where I'm dependent on the records SELECT:ed to be in a certain order. This order is enforced through a clustered index on that table - I can see that they are in the proper order by doing just the SELECT part.
However, when I do the INSERT, it doesn't work (nothing is inserted) - can the order of the records from the SELECT part be changed internally on their way to the INSERT part, so to speak?
Actually - it is a view that I'm inserting into, and there's an instead-of-insert trigger on it that does the actual insertions into the base table. I've added a "PRINT" statement to the trigger code and there's just ONE record printed (there should be millions).
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.
I want to add the content of a table into anotherI tried to copy all fields, except the primary key:INSERT INTO table2(field2, field3, field4, ...)SELECT field2, field3, field4, ...FROM anotherDB.dbo.table1gives the following error:Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint...Cannot insert duplicate key...Why?I didn't ask him to copy the key column; Isn't the SQL Server supposedto know how to increment the key ?
