I have 2 tables Awards_Nominations and custom_1, and I need to update Awards_Nominations.Add14 column with the concatenations of custom_1.awardNames.
Conditions should have :
Add1 >= GPA
Majors like Add3 or 'AllMajors'
AcademicReq like Add2 or 'High School Student'
Universities like Add4 or 'AllUniversities'
sample Awards_Nominations
sample custom_1
I tried with the update statement inner join but it does not update.
UPDATE [dbo].[Awards_Nominations]
SET Add14=Add14+','+awardName
from [Awards_Nominations] a
inner join custom_1 on right([Add1],3)>=GPA and (Majors like '%'+Add3+'%' or Majors='AllMajors')
and (AcademicReq like '%'+Add2+'%' or 'High School Student' like '%'+AcademicReq+'%') and (Universities like '%'+Add4+'%' or Universities='AllUniversities')
where n_AwardID=4 and ApprovalStatus='final' and Add1<>''
GO
My end goal is to have something like below:
sample updated Awards_Nominations
With an update that matches multiple records, the last update wins. The source column value is not updated for use as input later. (It's sort of like the "inserted" table in a trigger that represents the data before the query.) You want to concatenate data from multiple rows into a single value. There are plenty of examples out there. I prefer XML myself. I will try STRING_AGG the next time I need to do this.
How to concatenate text from multiple rows into a single text string in SQL server?

When a part is created in a table ("ASC_PMA_TBL"), a number is auto-generated. Any "sub-parts" that are subsequently created then have an associated number. So for example, the "master" part might be 18245, and it may have several subparts which would be "18245-50", or "18245-40", etc. Subparts are always identified by having the master part number, followed by a '-' then a two-digit number. Each sub part has a date associated with it ("EO_DATE"). All I want to do is display records where the "master" dates don't match each of the sub-parts dates. All data is in the one table "ASC_PMA_TBL".
Normally this would be easily achieved using a join. However in the database, the subparts are not related to their master through the use of foreign keys, so I'm having to find a different way of doing things.
Furthermore, the date field is a date/ time field, so to compare them I first have to convert the field into a date only field. I can do this, but then am unable to use the alias in my query!
Any help is much appreciated :)
I have tried creating temporary tables and using subqueries, but cannot solve this problem :(
UPDATE: Managed to solve the problem using temporary tables, truncating the part number of the sub-parts to match the master parts, and then joining the two to compare the dates. Might be messy, but it works!
SELECT
PMA_PART_ONLY,
CONVERT(DATE,PMA_EFFECT_DATE_OFF) As 'EO_DATE'
INTO
##MParts
FROM
ASC_PMA_TBL
WHERE
(PMA_PROC_CODE = 'M') AND
(PMA_EFFECT_DATE_OFF IS NOT NULL)
SELECT
PMA_PART_ONLY,
CONVERT(DATE,PMA_EFFECT_DATE_OFF) As 'EO_DATE',
SUBSTRING(PMA_PART_ONLY,0,CHARINDEX('-',PMA_PART_ONLY,0)) As 'MP_NO'
INTO
##SParts
FROM
ASC_PMA_TBL
WHERE
(PMA_PROC_CODE = 'S') AND
(PMA_EFFECT_DATE_OFF IS NOT NULL)
SELECT
##SParts.PMA_PART_ONLY As 'SUB_PART_NO',
##MParts.EO_DATE As 'M_PART_DATE',
##SParts.EO_DATE As 'S_PART_DATE'
FROM
##MParts INNER JOIN ##SParts ON ##SParts.MP_NO = ##MParts.PMA_PART_ONLY
WHERE
(##MParts.EO_DATE <> ##SParts.EO_DATE)
ORDER BY
SUB_PART_NO DESC
DROP TABLE ##MParts
DROP TABLE ##SParts
If you want to compare just dates and not times you gotta convert the dates:
select *
from ASC_PMA_TBL master
inner join ASC_PMA_TBL parts
ON parts.number like CAST(master.number AS VARCHAR(30)) + '[_]%'
where CAST(master.EO_DATE AS DATE) <> CAST(parts.EO_DATE AS DATE)
That's the main idea, get all master and parts where part number is like master number + underscope.
Note that you have to escape "_" in []-quotes when performing LIKE
I'm new to SQL Server. The scenario is the following:
I have a csv with a bunch of Serial N0, which are unique.
Example:
Serial No
-----------
01561
21654
156416
89489
I also have a SQL Server database table, where are several rows which can be identified with the serial no. For example I have 6 rows in the SQL Server table with the serial no. 01561. Now I want to update a field in all these rows with "Yes". If it is only about this number, I know the solution it's
UPDATE dbo.Table1
SET DeleteFlag = 'Yes'
WHERE Serial No. = 01561;
Unfortunately I have more than 10,000 Serial No in the csv for what I have to do that. Can you help me to find a solution for that?
First you should use the TASK feature to import the CSV. You right click to do this on the database and select "TASK" and import data. Its a UI which is pretty self explanatory, so itll help you get the job done quickly and easily. Make note of the name you give the table, SQL Server will try and give it a defualt name with a "$" in the name. Change that to something like "MyTableImport". If the data is already in SQL Server, go to the next step.
Step 2 - You can do the UPDATE for the entire table via a join. All youre doing is matching the ID's to another table, right? Looping would be a bad idea here especially since itll take a minute to loop through 10000+ and run an update FOR EACH ONE. Thats against an idea known as "Set based approach" which to sum it up nicely is to do things all at once (google it though because im horribly over simplifying the idea for you). Here is a sample update join query for you:
UPDATE x
SET x.DeleteFlag='Yes'
FROM yourimportable y
INNER JOIN yourLocal x ON y.SerialNo=x.SerialNo
Assuming that you have created a temp table to load CSV with a bunch of serial number. Now you can update your permanent table with the temp table data using update join like this:
UPDATE t1
SET t1.DeleteFlag = 'Yes'
FROM dbo.Table1 AS t1
INNER JOIN #TempTable2 AS t2
ON t1.Serial_No = t2.Serial_No
I have 2 tables: "table1" and "table2" and in these tables, I have hundred of names. Now I want to select only these names, where first 4 character have the same value.
So far it is not so difficult. Something like this:
select * from table1
join table2 on LEFT(table1.name,4)=LEFT(table2.name,4)
But I am struggling to add one condition that some characters have same value, for example: i=y, v=w, c=k and vice versa.
If table1 has name "Citty" and table2 has name "Kitty", I want this name also comes out in results
You should look into SOUNDEX() and DIFFERENCE() functions of SQL Server. These are available with full text search.
Alternatively, you can create a clr function and call it from sql.
I am very new to SQL and SQL server, would appreciate any help with the following problem.
I am trying to update a share price table with new prices.
The table has three columns: share code, date, price.
The share code + date = PK
As you can imagine, if you have thousands of share codes and 10 years' data for each, the table can get very big. So I have created a separate table called a share ID table, and use a share ID instead in the first table (I was reliably informed this would speed up the query, as searching by integer is faster than string).
So, to summarise, I have two tables as follows:
Table 1 = Share_code_ID (int), Date, Price
Table 2 = Share_code_ID (int), Share_name (string)
So let's say I want to update the table/s with today's price for share ZZZ. I need to:
Look for the Share_code_ID corresponding to 'ZZZ' in table 2
If it is found, update table 1 with the new price for that date, using the Share_code_ID I just found
If the Share_code_ID is not found, update both tables
Let's ignore for now how the Share_code_ID is generated for a new code, I'll worry about that later.
I'm trying to use a merge query loosely based on the following structure, but have no idea what I am doing:
MERGE INTO [Table 1]
USING (VALUES (1,23-May-2013,1000)) AS SOURCE (Share_code_ID,Date,Price)
{ SEEMS LIKE THERE SHOULD BE AN INNER JOIN HERE OR SOMETHING }
ON Table 2 = 'ZZZ'
WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET Table 1.Price = 1000
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT { TO BOTH TABLES }
Any help would be appreciated.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/bb510625(v=sql.100).aspx
You use Table1 for target table and Table2 for source table
You want to do action, when given ID is not found in Table2 - in the source table
In the documentation, that you had read already, that corresponds to the clause
WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE ... THEN <merge_matched>
and the latter corresponds to
<merge_matched>::=
{ UPDATE SET <set_clause> | DELETE }
Ergo, you cannot insert into source-table there.
You could use triggers for auto-insertion, when you insert something in Table1, but that will not be able to insert proper Shared_Name - trigger just won't know it.
So you have two options i guess.
1) make T-SQL code block - look for Stored Procedures. I think there also is a construct to execute anonymous code block in MS SQ, like EXECUTE BLOCK command in Firebird SQL Server, but i don't know it for sure.
2) create updatable SQL VIEW, joining Table1 and Table2 to show last most current date, so that when you insert a row in this view the view's on-insert trigger would actually insert rows to both tables. And when you would update the data in the view, the on-update trigger would modify the data.
Ok I have a question and it is probably very easy but I can not find the solution.
I have 3 tables plus one main tbl.
tbl_1 - tbl_1Name_id
tbl_2- tbl_2Name_id
tbl_3 - tbl_3Name_id
I want to connect the Name_id fields to the main tbl fields below.
main_tbl
___________
tbl_1Name_id
tbl_2Name_id
tbl_3Name_id
Main tbl has a Unique Key for these fields and in the other table, fields they are normal fields NOT NULL.
What I would like to do is that any time when the record is entered in tbl_1, tbl_2 or tbl_3, the value from the main table shows in that field, or other way.
Also I have the relationship Many to one, one being the main tbl of course.
I have a feeling this should be very simple but can not get it to work.
Take a look at SQL Server triggers. This will allow you to perform an action when a record is inserted into any one of those tables.
If you provide some more information like:
An example of an insert
The resulting change you would like
to see as a result of that insert
I can try and give you some more details.
UPDATE
Based on your new comments I suspect that you are working with a denormalized database schema. Below is how I would suggest you structure your tables in the Employee-Medical visit scenario you discussed:
Employee
--------
EmployeeId
fName
lName
EmployeeMedicalVisit
--------------------
VisitId
EmployeeId
Date
Cost
Some important things:
Note that I am not entering the
employees name into the
EmployeeMedicalVisit table, just the EmployeeId. This
helps to maintain data integrity and
complies with First Normal Form
You should read up on 1st, 2nd and
3rd normal forms. Database
normalization is a very imporant
subject and it will make your life
easier if you can grasp them.
With the above structure, when an employee visited a medical office you would insert a record into EmployeeMedicalVisit. To select all medical visits for an employee you would use the query below:
SELECT e.fName, e.lName
FROM Employee e
INNER JOIN EmployeeMedicalVisit as emv
ON e.EployeeId = emv.EmployeeId
Hope this helps!
Here is a sample trigger that may show you waht you need to have:
Create trigger mytabletrigger ON mytable
For INSERT
AS
INSERT MYOTHERTABLE (MytableId, insertdate)
select mytableid, getdate() from inserted
In a trigger you have two psuedotables available, inserted and deleted. The inserted table constains the data that is being inserted into the table you have the trigger on including any autogenerated id. That is how you get the data to the other table assuming you don't need other data at the same time. YOu can get other data from system stored procuders or joins to other tables but not from a form in the application.
If you do need other data that isn't available in a trigger (such as other values from a form, then you need to write a sttored procedure to insert to one table and return the id value through an output clause or using scope_identity() and then use that data to build the insert for the next table.
