Presently I have 2 tables in a SQL database: Table A and Table B
I am using the syntax
Insert Into TABLE B
Select id, col, col, col......
From TABLE A
Where id NOT IN (SELECT id from TABLE B)
End;
This syntax works great. However, if I delete a record that is in TABLE B, the above code would in return, insert the deleted record back into TABLE B. I do not want this to happen. Is there another way to insert a record that is NOT IN TABLE B "only once". It should basically ignore all other previously inserted records which were inserted into TABLE B. If it was deleted it should not be inserted a second time.
I want it to only insert only new records added to TABLE A.
If the ID is consecutive integer then you can use:
Insert Into TABLE B
Select id, col, col, col......
From TABLE A
where ID > select(max(id) from table B)

I need to update one column called Ident in table a to be a value from table b, as shown below. Both the change and keep values in table b are valid Idents which will appear in table a. I need to find the Change value in table b in table a, and then change the value in table a to the Keep value in table b.
Statement i'm using is:
update p set p.ident=t.keep
from pclscvq p inner join #tmp t on (p.ident=t.change)
where t.change=p.ident
Table B:
Change Keep
0004P 0004R
0004X 0004Y
00055 00056
00057 00058
0005B 0005C
0005K 0005L
0005Z 00060
00065 00066
0006X 0006Y
00070 00071
Very much stuck.
Using Advantage SQL
Postgresql:
I have two tables 'abc' and 'xyz' in postgresql. Both tables have same 'id' columns which type is 'serial primary key;'.
abc table id column values are 1,2,3 and also xyz id column containing same values 1,2,3,4
I want to union both tables with 'union all' constraint. But I want to change 'xyz' id column values to next value of 'abc' id column last value as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7
select id from abc
union all
select id from xyz
|id|
1
2
3
1
2
3
4
my wanted resuls as
|id|
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
BETTER - Thanks to #CaiusJard
This should do it for you
select id FROM abc
UNION ALL select x.id + a.maxid FROM xyz x,
(SELECT MAX(id) as maxid from abc) a
ORDER BY id
For anyone who's doing something like this:
I had a similar problem to this, I had table A and table B which had two different serials. My solution was to create a new table C which was identical to table B except it had an "oldid" column, and the id column was set to use the same sequence as table A. I then inserted all the data from table B into table C (putting the id in the oldid field). Once I fixed the refernces to point to from the oldid to the (new)id I was able to drop the oldid column.
In my case I needed to fix the old relations, and needed it to remain unique in the future (but I don't care that the ids from table A HAVE to all be before those from table C). Depending on what your trying to accomplish, this approach may be useful.
If anyone is going to use this approach, strictly speaking, there should be a trigger to prevent someone from manually setting an id in one table to match another. You should also alter the sequence to be owned by NONE so it's not dropped with table A, if table A is ever dropped.
I want to insert data into a table by joining two tables with a where condition that each id matches.
INSERT INTO SALES(T_ID, SF)
SELECT B.T_ID, B.SF
FROM HIS B, SALES C
WHERE C.REP_ID=B.REP_ID;
I am getting an error that I cannot insert NULL into ("c.REP_ID")
I am not trying to insert anything into c.rep_id. I want to insert values into t_id, sf from HIS table where the rep_id on his table = rep id on sales table.
INSERT INTO SALES (T_ID, SF)
SELECT h.T_ID, h.SF FROM HIS h, SALES C
WHERE C.REP_ID=B.REP_ID;
Note: Make sure that the data comes from select tables is equally compare and valid with the datatypes of the columns where you inserting.
The error simply means that the column REP_ID in the SALES table has a NOT NULL constraint. Your INSERT statement doesn't insert any value into that column (you only insert T_ID and SF) and presumably there are no before-row triggers that will set that column for you.
I'm using two Stored Procedures and two Table in My Sql Server.
First Table Structure.
Second Table Structure.
When a Customer books a Order then the Data will be Inserted in Table 1.
I'm using a Select Query in another Page Which Selects the Details from the Second Table.
If a row with a billno from first table is not Present in Second Table I want to Insert into the Second Table with some Default Values in the Select Query. How can I do this
??
If you want to insert in the same query, you will have to create a stored procedure. There you'll query if row exists in second table, and, if not, insert a new entity in second table.
Your code should look something like this:
-- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Routine DDL
-- Note: comments before and after the routine body will not be stored by the server
-- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DELIMITER $$
CREATE DEFINER=`table`#`%` PROCEDURE `insertBill`(IN billNo int, val1 int, val2 int, val3 int)
BEGIN
DECLARE totalres INT DEFAULT 0;
select count(*) from SECOND_TABLE where Bill_Number = billNo INTO totalres;
IF totalres < 1 THEN
INSERT into SECOND_TABLE values(val1,val2,val3);
END IF;
END
Val1,val2 and val3 are the valuest to be inserted into second table.
Hope this helps.
What you do is to LEFT JOIN the two tables and then select only the ones where the second table had no row to join, meaning the bill number were missing.
In the example below, you can replace #default_inform_status and #default_response_status with your default values.
INSERT INTO second_table (Bill_Number, Rest_Inform_Status, Rest_Response_Status)
SELECT ft.Bill_Number, #default_inform_status, #default_response_status
FROM first_table ft
LEFT JOIN second_table st
ON st.Bill_Number = ft.Bill_number
WHERE st.Bill_Number IS NULL
If it is possible to have duplicates of the same Bill_Number in the first table, you should also add a DISTINCT after the SELECT. But considering the fact that it is a primary key, this is no issue for you.
i have 2 tables.
TABLE A COLUMNS - aid , aname
TABLE B COLUMNS - bid , bname
from table A, i will pick up data from column 'aid',
AND insert it in 'bid' column of table B , but in bname column of table B, i will insert a new value. how do i do this?
create table A(aid int,aname char)
insert into A values(111, 'e')
create table B(bid int, bname char)
insert into B (bid,bname)
bid will take value from the query : select aid from a
bname will get a new value -m
expected result should be : THE TABLE B WILL HAVE :
bid bname
--- -----
111 m
Try this:
insert into b (bid, bname) select aid, 'm' as bname_fixed_val from a
Two facts enabled the solution above:
The insert .. select clause allows you to insert the values returned with any select.
You can return constant values as fields with select, like for instance:
SELECT 0 as id, 'John' as name
Combining these two points together, I used an insert..select clause to select the field value from the first table (aid), along with a constant value for the second field (m). The AS bname_fixed_val clause is simply a field alias, and can be omitted.
