I have a temp table #t that has a column already called ID with about 75 values. I've inserted another column called status and I want all of the values in the 'status' column to equal "A". Is there a way I can do this without having to manually insert A for each row?
Would want it to look like this but for all 75 rows
|ID| |Status|
----------------
|24| | A |
Not sure if I understand your question correctly but you could do it with something like
update #t set Status = 'A'
You can do that by setting the default value for status column.
Create table #test(id int, status varchar(1) default 'A');
insert into #test (id) values (1),(2),(3);
Select * From #test;
id status
1 A
2 A
3 A
If your table is already created you may set the default value as the following:
ALTER TABLE #test ADD CONSTRAINT df_val DEFAULT 'A' FOR status;
See a demo from db<>fiddle.
I have the following table:
CREATE TABLE tab (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
code TEXT NOT NULL,
data TEXT
)
In some cases, I'd like to insert a new row ensuring that the code column is generated by the id column. In other cases the code is provided by the user.
For example:
INSERT INTO tab(code, data) VALUES ('code: ' || id::TEXT, 'my data');
The expected result is something like:
id
code
data
1
code: 1
abc
2
code: 2
xyz
INSERT INTO tab(code, data) VALUES ('user.provided.code', 'my data');
The expected result is something like:
id
code
data
1
code: 1
abc
2
code: 2
xyz
3
user.provided.code
xyz
Is it possibile in one statement?
It sounds like you want to default the coder to something based on the id. Unfortunately, this doesn't work in Postgres:
create table tab (
id integer primary key generated always as identity,
code text not null default ('code '||id::text),
data text
);
One option is a single statement that does both an insert and update:
with i as (
insert into tab (code, data)
values ('', 'my data'
returning *
)
update tab
set code = 'code: ' || id::TEXT
where tab.id in (select i.id from i);
Another is to use a trigger that assigns the value.
Use INSERT INTO .. SELECT as follows:
INSERT INTO tab(code, data)
select 'code: ' || id::TEXT, 'my data' from tab;
Note: In newly added data(above insert), you are missing to add id column data or I think it is auto generated.
Pardon the title of question if it is confusing. Table E is source and Table S is target. S.SEA_ID is identity column (int, not null). Whenever those join conditions are NOT MATCHED AND E.ACCT_NUM IS NULL, I want to insert the value 'EY|' + CAST(S.SEA_ID AS VARCHAR) in column S.ACCT_NUM. But I am getting the error
The multi-part identifier "S.SEA_ID" could not be bound.
Is it possible to insert identity column value of target table to populate another column of the same target table? If it is not possible in below MERGE statement, what are my other options?
MERGE INTO STG_EXTERNAL_ACCT S
USING ##EYDUPLICATES E
ON E.COUNTERPARTY_NAME = S.COUNTERPARTY_NAME
AND E.COUNTERPARTY_ADDRESS = S.COUNTERPARTY_ADDRESS
AND E.COUNTERPARTY_STATE = S.COUNTERPARTY_STATE
AND E.COUNTERPARTY_COUNTRY = S.COUNTERPARTY_COUNTRY
AND E.COUNTERPARTY_CITY = S.COUNTERPARTY_CITY
WHEN NOT MATCHED AND ISNULL(E.ACCT_NUM,'')=''
THEN INSERT (ACCT_NUM, COUNTERPARTY_NAME, COUNTERPARTY_ADDRESS,
COUNTERPARTY_STATE, COUNTERPARTY_COUNTRY, COUNTERPARTY_CITY)
VALUES ('EY|' + CAST(S.SEA_ID AS VARCHAR),E.COUNTERPARTY_NAME,
E.COUNTERPARTY_ADDRESS, E.COUNTERPARTY_STATE,
E.COUNTERPARTY_COUNTRY, E.COUNTERPARTY_CITY);
I suggest that change ACCT_NUM Column as calculated column.
ALTER Table STG_EXTERNAL_ACCT ALTER Column ACCT_NUM as 'EY|'+CAST(S.SEA_ID AS VARCHAR)
Also you can set this column in trigger.
Create Trigger TiggerName ON STG_EXTERNAL_ACCT
INSTEAD OF INSERT
AS Begin
Insert Into STG_EXTERNAL_ACCT (ACCT_Num, ...)
Select 'EY|'+CAST(S.SEA_ID AS VARCHAR), ...
From Inserted
End
I create a table and sequence in order to replace identity in the table I use SQL Server 2012 Express but I get this error while I tried to insert data to the table
Msg 11719, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
NEXT VALUE FOR function is not allowed in check constraints, default objects, computed columns,
views, user-defined functions, user-defined aggregates, user-defined
table types, sub-queries, common table expressions, or derived
tables.
T-SQL code:
insert into Job_Update_Log(log_id, update_reason, jobid)
values((select next value for Job_Log_Update_SEQ),'grammer fixing',39);
This is my table:
create table Job_Update_Log
(
log_id int primary key ,
update_reason nvarchar(100) ,
update_date date default getdate(),
jobid bigint not null,
foreign key(jobid) references jobslist(jobid)
);
and this is my sequence:
CREATE SEQUENCE [dbo].[Job_Log_Update_SEQ]
AS [int]
START WITH 1
INCREMENT BY 1
NO CACHE
GO
Just get rid of the subselect in the VALUES section, like this:
insert into Job_Update_Log(log_id,update_reason,jobid)
values (next value for Job_Log_Update_SEQ,'grammer fixing',39);

Your insert syntax appears to be wrong. You are attempting to use a SELECT statement inside of the VALUES section of your query. If you want to use SELECT then you will use:
insert into Job_Update_Log(log_id,update_reason,jobid)
select next value for Job_Log_Update_SEQ,'grammer fixing',39;
See SQL Fiddle with Demo
I changed the syntax from INSERT INTO VALUES to INSERT INTO ... SELECT. I used this because you are selecting the next value of the sequence.
However, if you want to use the INSERT INTO.. VALUES, you will have to remove the SELECT from the query:
insert into Job_Update_Log(log_id,update_reason,jobid)
values(next value for Job_Log_Update_SEQ,'grammer fixing',39);
See SQL Fiddle with Demo
Both of these will INSERT the record into the table.
Try this one:
–With a table
create sequence idsequence
start with 1 increment by 3
create table Products_ext
(
id int,
Name varchar(50)
);
INSERT dbo.Products_ext (Id, Name)
VALUES (NEXT VALUE FOR dbo.idsequence, ‘ProductItem’);
select * from Products_ext;
/* If you run the above statement two types, you will get the following:-
1 ProductItem
4 ProductItem
*/
drop table Products_ext;
drop sequence idsequence;

I have created table using this command successfully
create table Person(
first_name varchar(25) not null,
last_name varchar(25) not null,
persoin_id number not null,
birth_date date,
country varchar (25),
salary number);
and now I want to insert data into that table
insert into Person(persoin_id,first_name,last_name,salary,birth_date,country)
values(100,'dato','datuashvili',350,to_date('01/01/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia');
values(101,'irakli','oqruashvili',350,to_date('01/03/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia');
first row is inserted,but problem is with second line
1 rows inserted.
Error starting at line 10 in command:
values(101,'irakli','oqruashvili',350,to_date('01/03/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia')
Error report:
Unknown Command
Please help me to determine what is problem?thanks
If you are on a RDBMS that supports multi-rows inserts in one INSERT:
insert into Person(persoin_id,first_name,last_name,salary,birth_date,country)
values
(100,'dato','datuashvili',350,to_date('01/01/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia') ,
--- comma here ---^
(101,'irakli','oqruashvili',350,to_date('01/03/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia') ;
^--- no "values" here
If not (like Oracle), you'll have to issue two insert statements:
insert into Person(persoin_id,first_name,last_name,salary,birth_date,country)
values
(100,'dato','datuashvili',350,to_date('01/01/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia') ;
--- as it was here ---^
insert into Person(persoin_id,first_name,last_name,salary,birth_date,country)
values
(101,'irakli','oqruashvili',350,to_date('01/03/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia') ;
or use this approach:
insert into Person(persoin_id,first_name,last_name,salary,birth_date,country)
select
(100,'dato','datuashvili',350,to_date('01/01/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia')
from dual
union all select
(101,'irakli','oqruashvili',350,to_date('01/03/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia')
from dual
;
You will need to use 2 insert statement instead of one for 2 different sets of data...
insert into Person(persoin_id,first_name,last_name,salary,birth_date,country)
values(100,'dato','datuashvili',350,to_date('01/01/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia');
insert into Person(persoin_id,first_name,last_name,salary,birth_date,country)
values(101,'irakli','oqruashvili',350,to_date('01/03/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia')
You have a ; at the end of:
values(100,'dato','datuashvili',350,to_date('01/01/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia');
^
change it to , and also loose the values from the next line. You need just one values per insert.
