I'm new in query and SQL server, and I wanted to know about DDL.
I have an attribute in my Table which has more than 1 value, such as
Size = {'S', 'M', 'L'}.
How could i make the attribute in my Table with query, so i can insert multi values to one of my attribute?
You don't want to do this, because this is denormalizing your data. But, if you must.
declare #table table (id int identity(1,1), size varchar(16))
insert into #table
values
('S')
,('M')
select * from #table
update #table
set size = size + ',M'
where id = 1
select * from #table
Here is a one to many approach with a foreign key
create table #items (id int identity(1,1), descrip varchar(64))
insert into #items
values
('shirt'),
('pants')
create table #item_sizes (id int identity(1,1), size char(1), item_id int)
alter table #item_sizes
add constraint FK_item foreign key (item_id) references #items(id)
insert into #item_sizes
values
('S',1)
,('M',1)
,('L',1)
,('S',2)
select
ItemID = i.id
,i.descrip
,isiz.size
from #items i
inner join #item_sizes isiz
on isiz.item_id = i.id
drop table #items, #item_sizes
As per your requirement :
Product (...,ProductSize);
INSERT INTO Product (ProductSize) VALUES ('S')
How to query the row of ProductSize so i can insert more than one values in SQL? –
you can query like below
select * from Product where ProductSize like '%S%' or ProductSize like '%L%' or ProductSize like '%M%'

I have 3 types of tables
Major table as follows
CREATE TABLE #InitialTable
(
Id int PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY(1,1),
RP varchar(20)
)
INSERT INTO #InitialTable
VALUES ('R1', 'R2', 'R3')
GO
Table contains dynamically created tables information as follows
CREATE TABLE #DynamicTablesInfo
(
Id int PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY(1,1),
RPId int FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES #InitialTable(Id),
TableName varchar(100)
)
GO
INSERT INTO #DynamicTablesInfo
VALUES (1, 'Table_X1'), (2, 'Table_X2'), (3, 'Table_X3')
GO
Dynamically created tables these tables can be any number of tables and the tables info is available in above table.
CREATE TABLE #Table_X1
(
Id int PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY,
Version_Value varchar(100)
)
GO
INSERT INTO #Table_X1
VALUES ('Val_X1_1'), ('Val_X1_2'), ('Val_X1_3')
GO
CREATE TABLE #Table_X2
(
Id int PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY,
Version_Value varchar(100)
)
GO
INSERT INTO #Table_X2
VALUES ('Val_X2_1'), ('Val_X2_2'), ('Val_X2_3')
GO
CREATE TABLE #Table_X3
(
Id int PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY,
Version_Value varchar(100)
)
GO
INSERT INTO #Table_X3
VALUES ('Val_X3_1'), ('Val_X3_2'), ('Val_X3_3')
GO
Now I wanted to join InitialTable with dynamically created tables (Table_X1, Table_X2, Table_X3,....) with the help of DynamicTablesInfo table - how to do that?
Note: for easy update, delete, insert I created them as temporary tables but in my application all are real tables.
Instead of doing this:
CREATE TABLE #Table_X1
(
Id int PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY
,Version_Value varchar(100)
)
GO
CREATE TABLE #Table_X2
(
Id int PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY
,Version_Value varchar(100)
)
GO
CREATE TABLE #Table_X3
(
Id int PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY
,Version_Value varchar(100)
)
GO
Do this one time:
CREATE TABLE Table_X
(
Id int PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY
,Version_Value varchar(100)
,X_number INT
)
GO
Then instead of doing this:
INSERT INTO #Table_X1 VALUES ('Val_X1_1'),('Val_X1_2'),('Val_X1_3')
INSERT INTO #Table_X2 VALUES ('Val_X2_1'),('Val_X2_2'),('Val_X2_3')
INSERT INTO #Table_X3 VALUES ('Val_X3_1'),('Val_X3_2'),('Val_X3_3')
Do this:
INSERT INTO Table_X VALUES ('Val_X1_1',1),('Val_X1_2',1),('Val_X1_3',1)
INSERT INTO Table_X VALUES ('Val_X2_1',2),('Val_X2_2',2),('Val_X2_3',2)
INSERT INTO Table_X VALUES ('Val_X3_1',3),('Val_X3_2',3),('Val_X3_3',3)
Much easier to query without dynamics:
--no
SELECT * FROM Table_X1
--yes
SELECY * FROM Table_X WHERE X_Number = 1
You've indicated you're stuck with it how it is, so you'll need to create and run your queries dynamically too. This is c#/vb flavored pseudocode:
string sql = "SELECT * FROM sometable"
for int x = 1 to 3
sql = sql + " table_x{x} on sometable.id = table_x{x}.id"
Or perhaps build a Union:
string sql = "WITH allx AS (SELECT * FROM table_x1"
for int x = 2 to 10
sql = sql + " UNION ALL SELECT * FROM table_x{x}"
sql = sql + ") select * from sometable inner join allx on..."
But I echo larnu's sentiments in the comments.. if you truly cannot change the tables that are created, consider creating a VIEW in a similar way to the UNION code above, that will sit alongside X number of tables and will provide a way to query without dynamic:
CREATE VIEW AllX AS(
SELECT x.*, 1 as Which FROM TABLE_X1 x
UNION ALL SELECT x.*, 2 as Which FROM TABLE_X2 x
UNION ALL SELECT x.*, 3 as Which FROM TABLE_X3 x
...
Use the same technique that creates 10 tables to string together a CREATE VIEW statement that views over the 10 tables, then you can query the view without Dynamic sql generation
I have table of transaction which contains a column transactionId that has values like |H000021|B1|.
I need to make a join with table Category which has a column CategoryID with values like H000021.
I cannot apply join unless data is same.
So I want to split or remove the unnecessary data contained in TransctionId so that I can join both tables.
Kindly help me with the solutions.
Create a computed column with the code only.
Initial scenario:
create table Transactions
(
transactionId varchar(12) primary key,
whatever varchar(100)
)
create table Category
(
transactionId varchar(7) primary key,
name varchar(100)
)
insert into Transactions
select'|H000021|B1|', 'Anything'
insert into Category
select 'H000021', 'A category'
Add computed column:
alter table Transactions add transactionId_code as substring(transactionid, 2, 7) persisted
Join using the new computed column:
select *
from Transactions t
inner join Category c on t.transactionId_code = c.transactionId
Get a straighforward query plan:
You should fix your data so the columns are the same. But sometimes we are stuck with other people's bad design decisions. In particular, the transaction data should contain a column for the category -- even if the category is part of the id.
In any case:
select . . .
from transaction t join
category c
on transactionid like '|' + categoryid + |%';
Or if the category id is always 7 characters:
select . . .
from transaction t join
category c
on categoryid = substring(transactionid, 2, 7)
You can do this using query :
CREATE TABLE #MyTable
(PrimaryKey int PRIMARY KEY,
KeyTransacFull varchar(50)
);
GO
CREATE TABLE #MyTransaction
(PrimaryKey int PRIMARY KEY,
KeyTransac varchar(50)
);
GO
INSERT INTO #MyTable
SELECT 1, '|H000021|B1|'
INSERT INTO #MyTable
SELECT 2, '|H000021|B1|'
INSERT INTO #MyTransaction
SELECT 1, 'H000021'
SELECT * FROM #MyTable
SELECT * FROM #MyTransaction
SELECT *
FROM #MyTable
JOIN #MyTransaction ON KeyTransacFull LIKE '|'+KeyTransac+'|%'
DROP TABLE #MyTable
DROP TABLE #MyTransaction
I have a table Hub:
and second table Rates:
In this, FromHubId and ToHubId are foreign keys from Hub table
I wanna add some data from a file in Rates table. What I have tried so far is:
Create a temp Table and insert values in it:
CREATE TABLE #Table
(FromHub varchar(30),
ToHub varchar(30),
Rate float,
rate40 float,
)
INSERT INTO #Table values('AUCKLAND','AUCKLAND',229.157325588818,341.973239724851),
('AUCKLAND','BLENHEIM',1825.03244430479,2738.13624934331),
('AUCKLAND','CHRISTCHURCH',1977.80399469734,2966.11840915988),

Create another Temp Table and trying to insert values in it:
CREATE TABLE #Table1
(FromHubId uniqueidentifier,
ToHubId uniqueidentifier,
Rate float,
Rate40 float,
FromHub varchar(30),
ToHub varchar(30)
);
insert into #Table1
select h.HubId As FromHubId, h.HubId As ToHubId, t.Rate, t.Rate40, t.FromHub, t.ToHub
FROM #Table t JOIN Hub h ON
t.FromHub=h.Centre and t.ToHub=h.Centre;
select * from #Table1;
But, It only insert values where FromHub and ToHub are same. I want to insert all values i.e. for different From and To hub as well.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks..!!
TRY THIS: you have to join separately fro both from and to hubId using table alias as below:
INSERT INTO #Table1
SELECT DISTINCT h.HubId As FromHubId,
h1.HubId As ToHubId,
t.Rate,
t.Rate40,
t.FromHub,
t.ToHub
FROM #Table t
JOIN #Hub h ON t.FromHub=h.Centre
JOIN #Hub h1 ON t.ToHub=h1.Centre;
I'm writing a SQL script to generate test data for our database. I'm generating the data in table variables (so I can track it later) and then inserting it into the real tables. The problem is, I need to track which rows I've added to the parent table, so that I can generate its child data later on in the script. For example:
CREATE TABLE Customer (
CustomerId INT IDENTITY,
Name VARCHAR(50)
)
CREATE TABLE Order (
OrderId INT IDENTITY,
CustomerId INT,
Product VARCHAR(50)
)
So, in my script, I create equivalent table variables:
DECLARE #Customer TABLE (
CustomerId INT IDENTITY,
Name VARCHAR(50)
) -- populate customers
DECLARE #Order TABLE (
OrderId INT IDENTITY,
CustomerId INT,
Product VARCHAR(50)
) -- populate orders
And I generate and insert sample data into each table variable.
Now, when I go to insert customers from my table variable into the real table, the CustomerId column in the table variable will become meaningless, as the real table has its own identity seed for its CustomerId column.
Is there a way I can track the new identity of each row inserted into the real table, in my table variable, so I can use a proper CustomerId for the order records? Or, is there a better way I should be going about this?
(Note: I originally started with an application to generate the test data, but it ran too slow during insert as > 1,000,000 records need to be generated.)
WHy do you need identity values on the table variables? If you use just int, you can isnert the ids after the insert is done. Grab them using the output clause. YOu might need an input values and an output values table varaiable to get this just right like this:
DECLARE #CustomerInputs TABLE (Name VARCHAR(50) )
DECLARE #CustomerOutputs TABLE (CustomerId INT ,Name VARCHAR(50) )
INSERT INTO CUSTOMERS (name)
OUTPUT inserted.Customerid, inserted.Name INTO #CustomerOutputs
SELECT Name FROM #CustomerInputs
SELECT * from #CustomerOutputs
You can insert the data to the table with a cursor and use the built-in function SCOPE_IDENTITY() to get the last id which was inserted in the current scope (by your script).
See this MSDN article for more information on SCOPE_IDENTITY.
Here is one way of doing it. If you can use it depends on your situation. You should not do it in production environment when users use your db.
-- Get the next identity values for Customer and Order
declare #NextCustomerID int
declare #NextOrderID int
set #NextCustomerID = IDENT_CURRENT('Customer')+1
set #NextOrderID = IDENT_CURRENT('Order')+1
-- Create tmp tables
create table #Customer (CustomerID int identity, Name varchar(50))
create table #Order (OrderID int identity, CustomerID int, Product varchar(50))
-- Reseed the identity columns in temp tables
dbcc checkident(#Customer, reseed, #NextCustomerID)
dbcc checkident(#Order, reseed, #NextOrderID)
-- Populate #Customer
-- Populate #Order
-- Allow insert to identity column on Customer
set identity_insert Customer on
-- Add rows to Customer
insert into Customer(CustomerId, Name)
select CustomerID, Name
from #Customer
-- Restore identity functionality on Customer
set identity_insert Customer off
-- Add rows to Order
set identity_insert [Order] on
insert into [Order](OrderID, CustomerID, Product)
select OrderID, CustomerID, Product
from #Order
set identity_insert [Order] off
-- Drop temp tables
drop table #Customer
drop table #Order
-- Check result
select * from [Order]
select * from Customer
The way I'd do it its first obtain the MAX(CustomerId) from your Customer Table. Then I'd get rid of the IDENTITY column on your variable table and do my own CustomerId using ROW_NUMBER() and the MaxCustomerId. It should be something like this:
DECLARE #MaxCustomerId INT
SELECT #MaxCustomerId = ISNULL(MAX(CustomerId),0)
FROM Customer
DECLARE #Customer TABLE (
CustomerId INT,
Name VARCHAR(50)
)
INSERT INTO #Customer(CustomerId, Name)
SELECT #MaxCustomerId + ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY SomeColumn), Name
FROM YourDataTable
Or insert the values on a temp table, so you can use the same ids to fill your Order table.
Let us say I have a table (everything is very much simplified):
create table OriginalData (
ItemName NVARCHAR(255) not null
)
And I would like to insert its data (set based!) into two tables which model inheritance
create table Statements (
Id int IDENTITY NOT NULL,
ProposalDateTime DATETIME null
)
create table Items (
StatementFk INT not null,
ItemName NVARCHAR(255) null,
primary key (StatementFk)
)
Statements is the parent table and Items is the child table. I have no problem doing this with one row which involves the use of IDENT_CURRENT but I have no idea how to do this set based (i.e. enter several rows into both tables).
Thanks.
Best wishes,
Christian
Another possible method that would prevent the use of cursors, which is generally not a best practice for SQL, is listed below... It uses the OUTPUT clause to capture the insert results from the one table to be used in the insert to the second table.
Note this example makes one assumption in the fact that I moved your IDENTITY column to the Items table. I believe that would be acceptable, atleast based on your original table layout, since the primary key of that table is the StatementFK column.
Note this example code was tested via SQL 2005...
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#OriginalData') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #OriginalData
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#Statements') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #Statements
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#Items') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #Items
create table #OriginalData
( ItemName NVARCHAR(255) not null )
create table #Statements
( Id int NOT NULL,
ProposalDateTime DATETIME null )
create table #Items
( StatementFk INT IDENTITY not null,
ItemName NVARCHAR(255) null,
primary key (StatementFk) )
INSERT INTO #OriginalData
( ItemName )
SELECT 'Shirt'
UNION ALL SELECT 'Pants'
UNION ALL SELECT 'Socks'
UNION ALL SELECT 'Shoes'
UNION ALL SELECT 'Hat'
DECLARE #myTableVar table
( StatementFk int,
ItemName nvarchar(255) )
INSERT INTO #Items
( ItemName )
OUTPUT INSERTED.StatementFk, INSERTED.ItemName
INTO #myTableVar
SELECT ItemName
FROM #OriginalData
INSERT INTO #Statements
( ID, ProposalDateTime )
SELECT
StatementFK, getdate()
FROM #myTableVar
You will need to write an ETL process to do this. You may want to look into SSIS.
This also can be done with t-sql and possibly temp tables. You may need to store unique key from OriginalTable in Statements table and then when you are inserting Items - join OriginalTable with Statements on that unique key to get the ID.
I don't think you could do it in one chunk but you could certainly do it with a cursor loop
DECLARE #bla char(10)
DECLARE #ID int
DECLARE c1 CURSOR
FOR
SELECT bla
FROM OriginalData
OPEN c1
FETCH NEXT FROM c1
INTO #bla
WHILE ##FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
INSERT INTO Statements(ProposalDateTime) VALUES('SomeDate')
SET #ID = SCOPE_IDENTITY()
INSERT INTO Items(StateMentFK,ItemNAme) VALUES(#ID,#bla)
FETCH NEXT FROM c1
INTO #bla
END
CLOSE c1
DEALLOCATE c1
