Hi,I'm writing a very simple content management site as a first web project.The info is being entered in a FreeTextBox ID'd as FreeTextBox2. When I use an UPDATE command to update the SQL record it inserts a NULL value into the record. If I change the variable to simple text it inserts it properly. For example, this inserts Test into the record: UpdateCommand="DECLARE @FreeTextBox2 as varChar(100) UPDATE t_content SET PageContent = 'Test' WHERE PageID = 1">But when I run this statement it inserts a NULL: UpdateCommand="DECLARE @FreeTextBox2 as varChar(100)
UPDATE t_content
SET PageContent = @FreeTextBox2 WHERE PageID = 1">Could someone please point out where I'm going wrong? Thx :)
MSSQL noob here. Sorry guys, but I really need some help.
I have a MSSQL (2000) database and a Products Table. Now, there was three columns used for pricing that I was not able to populate on the initial usage. So I exported the table as an Excel document, and got rid of everything except the UID (unique identifier column) the Name, and the Three columns, so that the customer could take their time in filling out the information.
Ok, so These are what are common to both the MSSQL database and the Excel sheet
column uid = unique id integer
column Name = text
column eBay = number
column PriceGrabber = number
column Amazon = number
So, any idea how I can update my Products Table with this?
Please HELP!
I wrote this query to pull some information involving 3 tables dbo.NewFamNbrs$, dbo.CGIItemMaster and dbo.CGIFamilyMaster. In addition I want to perform an update statement to update column dbo.CGIItemMaster.FamilyIDX with the information of dbo.CGIFamilyMaster.IDX. I also know that truncation is indicating that I'm trying to insert data into a field not large enough. So I performed a len() function on the both columns and order by desc and they both came up with 4 as being the max.
Query:
SELECT a.PART, a.Family, b.FamilyIDX, c.FamilyID, c.IDX
FROM dbo.NewFamNbrs$ a LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.CGIFamilyMaster c ON a.Family = c.FamilyID LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.CGIItemMaster b ON a.PART = b.PART
Results of query:
PART Family FamilyIDX FamilyID IDX
000127233TF011468 TF01 506
000129880TF011468 TF01 506
003110 MET061468 MET06 1915
UPDATE STATEMENT:
begin tran
update dbo.CGIItemMaster
set FamilyIDX=c.IDX
FROM dbo.NewFamNbrs$ a LEFT OUTER JOIN
CGIFamilyMaster c ON a.Family = c.FamilyID LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.CGIItemMaster b ON a.PART = b.PART
I've just written a query that successfully brings back the data from one table based on the information from another. Basically we have been given a table of information and need to update certain fields in our user_group table with the new info.
Here is the SELECT statement
SELECT user_group.id, user_group.name, user_group.description, Consultants.description AS Expr10, user_group.btype, user_group.rootmenu,
user_group.intra_user, user_group.primary_g_id, user_group.fname, user_group.lname, user_group.ntlogon, user_group.lang_id,
user_group.[external], user_group.title, user_group.work_tel, user_group.work_fax, user_group.work_ext, user_group.mobile, user_group.sex,
user_group.add2, user_group.add3, user_group.town, user_group.county, user_group.pcode, user_group.private_flag,
[code]....
We want to update the 'description' on the user_group table with the 'description' from the 'consultants' table. To test this, we only want to write the UPDATE so that it changes the description where the name is 'Adam Froth. The UPDATE statement that we've written is
UPDATE user_group
SET user_group.description = Consultants.description
FROM user_group
INNER JOIN Consultants
ON user_group.description = consultants.description
WHERE name like 'Adam Froth%'
but it keeps erroring and saying that it could 'Not be bound'.
I know there has to be a way to do this, but I've gone brain dead. Thescenario..a varchar field in a table contains a date range (i.e. June 1,2004 - June 15, 2004 or September 1, 2004 - September 30, 2004 or...). Theusers have decided thats a bad way to do this (!) so they want to split thatfield into two new fields. Everything before the space/dash ( -) goes intoa 'FromDate' field, everything after the dash/space goes into the 'ToDate'field. I've played around with STRING commands, but haven't stumbled on ityet. Any help at all would be appreciated! DTS?

How can I update each record in a table, based on a value in another tablewith a single SQL statement?For example, suppose I have the following two tables:Table1Name Something Color-----------------------------------------John GHAS BlueJohn DDSS BlueJohn EESS BluePaul xxxx RedRingo HJKS RedRingo FFFS RedSara hjkd PurpleSara TTHE PurpleJimi sdkjls GreenTable2Name Color------------------------John ?Paul ?Ringo ?Sara ?Jimi ?How can I update the color field in table 2 to correspond with the colorfield in table1 (so I can normalize the db and delete the color field fromtable1)?I know I could open table2 and loop through within my app; just wonderingabout a single SQL statement that would do it. I need a similar technique inother places as part of my app.Thanks,Calan

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy client wants to minimize concurrency issues by only updating fields that the user actually changed. Whereas most update stored procedures I have created just updated all of the fields WHERE key=value, they want to update individual fields.
What I came up with so far does not look very efficient and I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for improvement.
Here is a snippet from the stored proc script:
Code Snippet
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.DriverSaveChangedColumns
@DriverNumber VarChar(10) OUTPUT,
@CompanyName VarChar(50),
@DriverName VarChar(50),
@Address1 VarChar(50),
...
IF @CompanyName <> @Org_CompanyName
BEGIN
UPDATE Driver
SET DR_CompanyName = @CompanyName
WHERE DR_DriverNumber = @DriverNumber AND DR_CompanyName = @Org_CompanyName
END
IF @DriverName <> @Org_DriverName
BEGIN
UPDATE Driver
SET DR_DriverName = @DriverName
WHERE DR_DriverNumber = @DriverNumber AND DR_DRiverName = @Org_DriverName
END
...
Any suggestions?
The only other thing I thought of is to forget the stored procedure and do inline SQL ... but I'd rather have a proc.
Thanks!
I have a table where one of the fields contains XML as in the following. Is there an SQL update statement that can change any occurrences of timezoneIdfrom 0 to 1, and timezone from America/New_York to America/Chicago and time to time - 1 hour?
<scheduleitem><schedule><frequency><weekly weeklyInterval="1"><WED/></weekly></frequency><startDate>2008-08-05</startDate><time>22:30:00</time><timezoneId>0</timezoneId><timezone>America/New_York</timezone></schedule></scheduleitem>
After the query is run, rows like the above would be changed to
<scheduleitem><schedule><frequency><weekly weeklyInterval="1"><WED/></weekly></frequency><startDate>2008-08-05</startDate><time>21:30:00</time><timezoneId>1</timezoneId><timezone>America/Chicago</timezone></schedule></scheduleitem>
I need to build an update query for all my article beginning with '0.%' for my varchar field refkey, but depending on some conditions.
For example.
Case st.base <> '' and st.qttbase <> 0
Theo refkey = B
Case st.cos <>'' and st.qttcos <> 0
Then refkey = C
Case st.refo <> '' and st.qttrefo <> 0
Then refkey = R
But my problem are That i can have Many combination on refkey, for example:
B,BC,BCR,C,CB,CBR,R...and so on.
Also i need to separate the letters with comma, like:
B
B,C
B,C,R
.....

Hi, I'm having trouble updating a DateTime field in my SQL database. Here is what I'm trying to do....I retrieve the existing value in the DateTime field (usually a bum date like 1/1/1900 00:00:00:00), then put it in a variable. Later, depending on some conditions, I'll either update the DateTime field to today's date (which works great) or set it back equal to the existing value from the variable (this one messes up and says "SqlDateTime overflow. Must be between 1/1/1753 12:00:00 AM and 12/31/9999 11:59:59 PM. "). There is a ton more than this but here are the relevant snippets:<code>Dim CompDate As DateTimeDim aComm As SQLCommand Dim aReader As SQLDataReader Dim bSQL,bConn As String bSQL= "SELECT CompleteDate,StatusOfMarkout FROM Tickets WHERE TicketName=" _ & CHR(39) & Trim(Ticket.Text) & CHR(39) bConn = serverStuff aConn = New SQLConnection(bConn) aComm = New SQLCommand(bSQL,aConn) aConn.Open() result = aComm.ExecuteReader() 'fills controls with data While result.Read() CompDate = result("CompleteDate") PreviousMarkoutStatus.Text = result("StatusOfMarkout") End While result.Close() aConn.Close()sSqlCmd ="Update OneCallTickets CompleteDate=@CompleteDate, StatusOfMarkout=@StatusOfMarkout WHERE TicketFileName=@TicketFileName" dim SqlCon as New SqlConnection(serverStuff) dim SqlCmd as new SqlCommand(sSqlCmd, SqlCon) If Flag1List.SelectedItem.Value = "No Change" Then SqlCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@Flag1", SqlDbType.NVarChar,35)) SqlCmd.Parameters("@Flag1").Value = PreviousMarkoutStatus.Text SqlCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@CompleteDate", SqlDbType.DateTime, 8)) SqlCmd.Parameters("@CompleteDate").Value = CompDateElse SqlCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@Flag1", SqlDbType.NVarChar,35)) SqlCmd.Parameters("@Flag1").Value = CurrentStatus.Text SqlCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@CompleteDate", SqlDbType.DateTime, 8)) SqlCmd.Parameters("@CompleteDate").Value = Today()End IfSqlCon.Open() SqlCmd.ExecuteNonQuery() SqlCon.Close()</code>Can anybody help me with this?

I'm having a problem updating a varchar(4000) column in Enterprise Manager when I open the table and try to update one particular row directly. Most of my rows have approx. 100-500 characters in this column, and I can update all of them them, but one row which has 1976 characters in this varchar column doesn't let me change data by typing directly into this column, although it will let me update other columns in the same row. Altogether, my row size has a max. of approx. 5000, below the 8060 limit, so I doubt that's the problem. What Is?
Thanks,

I need to automatically update a datetime field for a record to the current time whenever the record is updated.
create table t (
id bigint identity(1,1) not null primary key,
name varchar(50),
value varchar(50),
ts datetime not null default getutcdate()
)
go
insert t (name, value) values ('fred', 'bob')
go
update t set value='robert' where id=1 and name='fred'
go
One option would be to use an instead of update trigger.
create trigger update_t on t
instead of update as
update t set ts=getutcdate(),name=inserted.name, value=inserted.value from t inner join inserted on t.id=inserted.id
go
update t set value='dick' where id=1 and name='fred'
go
Sounds like I've solved my own problem, heh? Well, here's the catch ... you can't know the names of the other columns at the time you write the trigger. I.e. you only know that there is a ts field that needs to be updated internally, otherwise you want the update to do the same thing it would normally do.
Any ideas?
How does one update the time part of a smalldatetime field...?
2006-11-16 20:12:00 ---> 2006-11-16 16:30:00

I have tried using the datepart but I'm doing something incorrectly.

I'm trying to create a script that updates a field in a table, based on data in another table. It should be simple, but I'm doing something wrong. Here's the code:
USE DBMyDatabase
UPDATE TblToBeUpdated

WHERE IDField=TblOther.IDOld
SELECT Pk, IDField
FROM TblToBeUpdated
What am I doing wrong? The error code I get is:
Server: Msg 107, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
The column prefix 'TblOther' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query.

I have a table with 100,000 addresses and I need to change 'street' to 'st', 'avenue' to 'ave' and 'road' to 'rd'. These words can appear anywhere in the field. example
10 Main street & Washington avenue
Trying to get it to be
10 Main st & Washington ave
Hi,I'm in the process of implementing a multi-user system containing anadjacency list (tree structure). I'm using a TIMESTAMP field on eachrecord in the adjacency list in order to tell when a node has been changedsince the last read. Sometimes though, it is useful to flag a "parent" (orall ancestors or a node) as being changed if any of its children have. Isthere any way I can force an update to the parent TIMESTAMP field withoutactually modifying any of the other fields in the record? Something likethis (assuming I have a field called [Timestamp]):UPDATE Adjacency SET [Timestamp] = [Timestamp] + 1 WHERE ID = @_In_IDNow, will the timestamp be incremented here by 1, or will SQL server getconfused as in theory it must "update the timestamp after updating thetimestamp" for this record?Thanks,Robin
