Help With SQL Update Query -- Not Sure How To Approach This Situation

Jul 20, 2005

Hello,I have a rather large table in MS SQL 2000 that I'm writing reports inCrystal from, but I'm unsure how to get the various data files (fromdifferent departments) into the table. Below is a small chunk of thetable:DeptCode;Type;AveMonthVolume;WorkedFTE;TotHours;Be nefitsI'm getting data from multiple places, but as I import the data, Iwant it to populate the table with DeptCode and Type being the primarykeys.If someone sends me the following file:DeptCode;Type;AveMonthVolume;WorkedFTE1000;Budget;100;2001010;Target;233;433And I get the following file from another source:DeptCode;Type;TotHours;Benefits1000;Budget;433;4001010;Target;33;43I want a simple way to import all this into the table so it looks likethis:DeptCode;Type;AveMonthVolume;WorkedFTE;TotHours;Be nefits1000;Budget;100;200;433;4001010;Target;233;433;33;43The data will be coming in delimited text and in Excel format. Iassume I can import his into MS SQL Enterprise Manager directly, but Ican't find any simple way of running in update query to import mydata. Also, I'd hate to use MS Access as the middle-man if at allpossible... but if this is the only option, I'll do it.Does anyone have other suggestions? Above is only a small example...the table has about 25 columns with various data I'll be collectingfrom 3-4 departments, so it's a hodge podge of data to combine intoone report.Thanks for any suggestions or ideas in solving this. Thanks inadvance...Alex.

Simple SQL Update

Mar 16, 2004

Hello all and I look forward to reading your replys. Currently, I'm trying to update a table in my SQL database by writing a script that will go get the field name and correct info, verify it has the correct field by using two other columns and then update the information.

I do not know how to use tell SQL what to update when the field name can change. I've used the following in the past.

UPDATE [Import Table]

SET [Import Table].[???] = [Correction_Table].[Correct_Info]

WHERE [Import Table].[UNIQUE ID] in (select [USO Unique ID] from [Correction_Table])

IN this new instance, I'm reading the Field_Name from the Correction_Table so I don't know what to put in my SET statement.

Please any help or pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Simple UPDATE

Feb 26, 2008

I need to do an update. Can you tell me if it's possible to update multiple tables in a single statement when joined, as with a select, or this has to be taken care of in seperate statements with the same join? I'm sure this is a simple YES / NO answer.

Here is what I'm using, with the same structure as somewhere else... why do I get 'incorrect syntax near q' on that very first line?

-- Do the update
update ccs_quotes q
set ccs_quo_user_date#1 = j.completed
from "ken-sql-002".hettonhosttestdatabase.dbo.job j
inner join ccs_quotes q
on left(j.cid,10) = q.ccs_quo_ref_number#2
where completed is not null
and ccs_quo_ref_number#2 = 'SHGD40021'


Thanks a lot
Mike

Simple Db Update Question

Oct 4, 2007

Hi folks. I'm trying to update a single field in a database table with the input from a single text box, but I'm getting "Insert Error: Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition". I know at least part of the problem is that I haven't specified the name of the table field, but I'm not sure where to do this. The table in question has many fields, but I only want to update one. The submit button is "sendMail", which calls UpdateDB.I'm learning and trying to limit myself to 1 idiotic question per week. Please have mercy. Thanks. Chrisprivate void UpdateDB(string cmd)
{
// point to connection string in web.config
string connectionString = "Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=databaseName;Integrated Security=True";
// create connection object; initialize; open
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection connection = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionString);
try
{
connection.Open();
// create sqlcommand object and assign connection
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand command = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand();
command.Connection = connection;
command.CommandText = cmd;
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
finally
{
connection.Close();
}
}

{

Hi, wondered if anyone here can help out with an SQL query thats been driving me mad. Currently I do this programmatically in a C# program with a hard coded mapping class but want to put the new codes into a table and run an update query instead.

2 tables like this;

PK: SORT

Table: NewGroupCodes
OLD_CODE
NEW_CODE
PK: OLD_CODE, NEW_CODE

Basically I want to update all GROUP_CODE entries in the CarModels table with the NEW_CODE values from NewGroupCodes where there is a match between CarModels.GROUP_CODE and NewGroupCodes.OLD_CODE.

Simple (?) SQL 7.0 Update Taking Forever...

May 3, 2000

I have a simple update/initialization query (set integer column = 0 on all rows) that's been running for over 28 hours. There are just over 27 million rows in the table. In current activity it shows that the transaction is open but it's sleeping, and in locks it shows 1 DB S mode lock, 766 page X mode locks, 1 page U mode lock, and one table X mode lock. Server is 7.0 with 1.7 gig ram. Anyone have any ideas as to why it's taking so long? Table is about 7 gig in size; can't get to it in Enterprise Manager without locking it up...

Simple SQL To Update Specific Columns

Aug 31, 2005

Kairn writes "I have created a table and imported data from another table to it. I need to update the existing data with values from another import but only need specific columns and am assuming a stored procedure is the way to go...IF I create a source table as well as destination(?). I have to compare the value in 6 columns to find the matching record in the destination, then update 5 of the other columns where source=dest. Finally, I need to sum, by row, the value in 3 of the columns and update another column to reflect it. All rows are unique in the destination. The source is a duplicate of them. Basically, the rows are identical aside from the values in the columns I want transferred. The rows must remain unique. I am a newbie and have no idea how to do this. Would you please submit a basic outline and I can fill in the rest?

How To Avoid Deadlock With Simple Update Statements

Aug 29, 2007

I searched a bit but didn€™t get too far in actually solving a case of deadlock in a simple query I have running here. The queries in question are executed under 2 separate transactions (Serializable IsolationLevel) and are shown below. I guess I don€™t understand how those 2 can deadlock because they are operating on different rows of the table and Serializable should keep them isolated pretty well too. Is it because I€™m using the column value inside an update stmt? How should this query be split if that€™s the case?

This is what the SQL Profiler has to say:
Lock: Deadlock Chain Deadlock Chain SPID = 59
Lock: Deadlock Chain Deadlock Chain SPID = 57
Lock: Deadlock my_user_name

57: UPDATE CreditCard SET Balance = Balance - 200 WHERE (Account = 0 AND CardHolder = 'Foo' AND Balance - 200 >= 0)
59: UPDATE CreditCard SET Balance = Balance - 250 WHERE (Account = 3 AND CardHolder = 'Bar' AND Balance - 250 >= 0)

I also used DBCC TRACEON(1204, 3605, -1) but I don€™t understand what the SQL log is telling me. Can anyone shed some light on why the above 2 statements sometimes cause the following:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Transaction (Process ID 57) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection)
at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.ThrowExceptionAndWarning(TdsParserStateObject stateObj)
at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.Run(RunBehavior runBehavior, SqlCommand cmdHandler, SqlDataReader dataStream, BulkCopySimpleResultSet bulkCopyHandler, TdsParserStateObject stateObj)
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.RunExecuteNonQueryTds(String methodName, Boolean async)
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.InternalExecuteNonQuery(DbAsyncResult result, String methodName, Boolean sendToPipe)
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()

I really don't want to retry the update if I don't have to. Table looks like:
Column DataType Length

Account int 4
CardHolder char 64
Balance float 8

A Simple Update Query Using A Date - Conversion From Msaccess

Mar 21, 2005

I'm converting an ASP system from using msaccess to SQL Server as the db engine, and I'm stumped on the following query

update
timecard
set
TcdDate = #3/18/05#


TcdDate is defined as a date/time type

It will not run with the date bracketed by # signs, and when I take them out, 1/1/1900 is stored in the dbs. Is there a different symbol to bracket the date with or should I be using a function to convert the date?

Do I Use An Index In This Situation?

Jun 1, 2008

Hi everyone -

I am relatively new to this and trying to make my database as efficient as possible.

Here is the situation. In my database, there are multiple "stocks" that each have a "pricing history". When something happens that changes the price of the stock, an entry containing information about the time the change occured, who changed it, etc. is added.

I have many stocks. The information of these stocks is independant in the sense that I never really need to grab/compare information about two stocks at once. I only look at one stock at a time.

So, do I set up a "pricing history" table for every single stock (pricinghist1,pricinghist2,etc.)? Or do I set up one "pricing history" table it and index the table by stock number?

Are these equivilant? Is one more efficient than the other?

Thanks!
N

How Would You Handle This Situation?

Apr 29, 2008

Here is the basic situation.

(1) I have 2 packages that run independently of eachother.
(2) Both are scheduled in SQLServer Agent Jobs as separate jobs.
(3) Job A is scheduled to run every 12 hours and Job B is scheduled to run every 10 minutes.
(4) However, I want to prevent Job B from running if Job A happens to be running.
(5) It is unknown exactly how long Job A will take to finish so I can't schedule Job B around it.

The way I wanted to approach this situation is as follows.

Within Job A's package, create a "marker" file when the package starts and delete it when the package finishes. So the existence of this marker file will tell Job B's package if it should run or not.

The concept is simple, but I'm not sure how to implement this.

For example, to create the marker file, I would use a File System Task, but I don't see an option in there to "create file". (However, I do see an option for "delete file".) Also, what task would I use in Job B's package to check if the marker file exists.

Lastly, If you have better approach, I would like to hear about it.

Thank you.
