How do you export records from one database table and import it into another database table?
(same table structure).
If the table have the exact same structure, and no autogenerated fields you can use:
insert into DestinationTable
select * from SourceTable
You can also use the
select *
into DestinationTable
from SourceTable
syntax, to create and fill the destination table on the fly.
If you also want to keep you identity colums same you can easily do it using code smith template. Download the templates from here and use ScriptTableData.cst template in them. Before that you will required to install code smith on you machine too.

it it possible to write script in hana that crate temporary table that is based
on existing table (with no need to define columns and columns types hard coded ):
create local temporary table #mytemp (id integer, name varchar(20));
create temporary table with the same columns definitions and contain the
same data ? if so ..i ill be glad to get some examples
i am searching the internet for 2 days and i couldn't find anything useful
thanks
Creating local temporary tables based on dynamic structure definition is not supported in SQLScript.
The question would be: for what do you want to use it?
Instead of a local temp. table you can use a table variable in most cases.
By querying sys.table_columns view, you can get the list and properties of source table and build a dynamic CREATE script then Execute to create the table.
You can find SQL codes for a sample case at Create Table Dynamically on HANA Database
For table columns read
select * from sys.table_columns where table_name = 'TABLENAME';
Seems to work in the hana version I have. I'm not sure how to find out what the version.
PROCEDURE "xxx.yyy.zzz::MY_TEST"(
OUT "OUT_COL" NVARCHAR(200)
)
LANGUAGE SQLSCRIPT
SQL SECURITY INVOKER
AS
BEGIN
create LOCAL TEMPORARY TABLE #LOCALTEMPTABLE
as
(
SELECT distinct 'Cola' as out_col
FROM "SYNONYMS1"
);
select * from #LOCALTEMPTABLE ;
DROP TABLE #LOCALTEMPTABLE;
END
The newer HANA version (HANA 2 SPS 04 Patch 5 ( Build 4.4.17 )) supports your request:
create local temporary table #tempTableName' like "tableTypeName";
This should inherit the data types and all exact values from whatever query is in the parenthesis:
CREATE LOCAL COLUMN TEMPORARY TABLE #mytemp AS (
SELECT
"COLUMN1",
"COLUMN2",
"COLUMN3"
FROM MyTable
);
-- Now you can add the rest of your query here as such:
SELECT * FROM #mytemp
I suppose you can just write :
create column table #MyTempTable as ( select * from MySourceTable);
BR,
I need some help for transfering data from one table to another.
As you can see there are 2 databases.
I would like to transfer the table datas "PinterSet" located in the database Contrinex.GPO in the table "PrinterSet" located in the database Contrinex.GPOQA.
There are already datas in the table "PrinterSet" of Contrinex.GPOQA but I would overwrite and put the datas from "PrinterSet" of Contrinex.GPO.
So how can I do that ?
here is your code..
truncate table Contrinex.GPOQA.dbo.PrinterSet
go
insert into Contrinex.GPOQA.dbo.PrinterSet
select * from Contrinex.GPO.dbo.PrinterSet
TRUNCATE TABLE [Contrinex.GPOQA].dbo.PinterSet
GO
INSERT INTO [Contrinex.GPOQA].dbo.PinterSet (...)
SELECT ...
FROM [Contrinex.GPO].dbo.PinterSet
select data from first database table and insert it into the second database table as
INSERT INTO GPOQA.PrinterSet SELECT * from GPO.PrinterSet
if want some perticular columns then set column names as
INSERT INTO GPOQA.PrinterSet a SET a.column1=b.column1,.... SELECT column1,... from GPO.PrinterSet b
You can use Sql Server Export functianality, where you can transfer data from one table to another across Database.
Please refer the below link on using the SQL Server Export

I have an Oracle table which contains a column called dt_code, first_name, last_name, and user_id. I need to update dt_code with a list of codes that was given to me in an excel file. What would be the best way to update the column and maintain the relationships.
as simple as
update your_table
set dt_code = new_code
where id = specific_id;
this won't break any relationships.
Note that Oracle allow you to import xls datas, but since I have no idea of your syntax it is hard to tell you how to do it.
If there is a lot of update to do, you should import all the datas in a temporary table, then do the update based on this table.
If you choose this option and you are not used to this kind of update statement, have a look at this thread Update statement with inner join on Oracle.
I have a simple model in postgresql database and I want to replicate rows of this table in another database in another machine.
The replication should be for some columns of this table and not for all columns.
What is the solution?
If by replication you mean import, look into foreign data wrappers:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Foreign_data_wrappers
One of them ought to do the trick.
If you truly mean replication, then… if the other DB is not using Postgres, you could imagine using the above and triggers to keep the changes in sync, assuming of course that Postgres remains the master. If it is using Postgres, there are plenty of additional options to choose from:

Take a look at the db_link module. You could try something like:
create extension dblink;
then once you have that installed:
select dblink_connect('myconn', 'hostaddr=127.0.0.1 port=5432 dbname=gis user=ubuntu password=ubuntu');
create table some_columns_table as select * from dblink('myconn','select col1, col2 from all_columns_table') AS t(col1 int, col2 text, col3 text);
select dblink_disconnect('myconn);
I have two tables in Filemaker:
tableA (which includes fields idA (e.g. a123), date, price) and
tableB (which includes fields idB (e.g. b123), date, price).
How can I create a new table, tableC, with field id, populated with both idA and idB, (with the other fields being used for calculations on the combined data of both tables)?
The only way is to script it (for repeating uses) or do it 'manually', if this is an ad-hoc process. Details depend on the situation, so please clarify.
Update: Sorry, I actually forgot about the question. I assume the ID fields do not overlap even across tables and you do not need to add the same record more than once, but update it instead. In such a case the simplest script would be like that:
Set Variable[ $self, Get( FileName ) ]
Import Records[ $self, Table A -> Table C, sync on ID, update and add new ]
Import Records[ $self, Table B -> Table C, sync on ID, update and add new ]
The Import Records step is managed via rather elaborate dialog, but the idea is that you import from the same file (you can just type file:<YourFileName> there), the format is FileMaker Pro, and then set the field mapping. Make sure to choose the Update matching records and Add remaining records options and select the ID fields as key files to sync by.
It would be a FileMaker script. It could be run as a script trigger, but then it's not going to be seamless to the user. Your best bet is to create the tables, then just run the script as needed (manually) to build Table C. If you have FileMaker Server, you could schedule this script to be run periodically to keep Table C up-to-date.
Maybe you can use the select into statement.
I'm unsure if you wish to use calculated field from TableA and TableB or if your intension was to only calculate fields from the same table?
If tableA.IdA exists also in tableB.IdA, you could join the two tables and select into.
Else, you run the statement once for each table.
Select into statement
Select tableA.IdA, tableA.field1A, tableA.field2A, tableA.field1A * tableB.field2A
into New_Table from tableA
Edit: missed the part where you mentioned FileMaker.
But maybe you could script this on the db and just drop the table.
