I'm working with Deltek Vision ERP software trying to create a custom solution to provide a list of deliverables for projects. I've created a custom grid in the Project area of Vision that has a table in SQL structured like this:
SELECT TOP (1000) [WBS1]
,[WBS2]
,[WBS3]
,[Seq]
,[CreateUser]
,[CreateDate]
,[ModUser]
,[ModDate]
,[CustDeliverables]
,[CustDueDate]
,[CustCompletionDate]
FROM [Vision_Prod].[dbo].[Projects_Deliverables]
The table has three user entered fields, which are the last three columns listed above.
What I'm trying to accomplish is have deliverables set at WBS2 level also roll up to WBS1, so basically what needs to happen is that any time a record is created with a value in WBS2 the record is duplicated but the duplicate has no value in WBS2.
I've setup a workflow in Vision so that when someone enters a deliverable into the grid on a phase it kicks off a stored procedure to accomplish this. The problem is the Seq field. This is a unique identifier the system is assigning when a record is created. When my stored procedure fires I'm getting an error that the sequence has to be included in the record.
This is the stored procedure I'm using:
INSERT INTO [Vision_Prod].[dbo].[Projects_Deliverables] (WBS1, WBS2, WBS3, Seq, CreateUser, ModUser, ModDate, CreateDate, CustDueDate, CustCompletionDate)
SELECT WBS1, '', '', (NEXT VALUE FOR Seq), CreateUser, ModUser, ModDate, CreateDate, CustDueDate, CustCompletionDate
FROM Projects_Deliverables
WHERE Projects_Deliverables.WBS2 IS NOT Null and Projects_Deliverables.WBS1 = #WBS1
If anyone can help me figure out how to get the system to assign a new sequence when a record is created in this way that would be most appreciated.
You could create a dummy table using VALUES to create the an extra row and then fiter out when not needed. Something (but not tested) like this:
SELECT TOP (1000)
[WBS1]
,CASE c WHEN 2 THEN NULL ELSE [WBS2] END AS [WBS2]
,[WBS3]
,[Seq]
,[CreateUser]
,[CreateDate]
,[ModUser]
,[ModDate]
,[CustDeliverables]
,[CustDueDate]
,[CustCompletionDate]
FROM [Vision_Prod].[dbo].[Projects_Deliverables]
CROSS JOIN (VALUES (1), (2)) t(c)
WHERE (WBS2 IS NULL AND c < 2)
OR WBS2 IS NOT NULL
This was the solution:
REPLACE(CAST(NEWID() AS VARCHAR(36)), '-', '')

I have a table that I would like to update one column data on every nth row if it meets row requirement.
My table has many columns but the key are Object_Id (in case this could be useful for creating temp table)
But the one I'm trying to update is online_status, it looks like below, but on bigger scales so I usually have 10rows that has same time but they all have %Online% in it and in total around 2000 rows (with Online and about another 2000 with Offline). I just need to update every 2-4 rows of those 10 that are repeating itself.
Table picture here: (for some reason table formatting doesn't come up good)
Table
So what I tried is: This pulls a list of every 3rd record that matches criteria Online, I just need a way to update it but can't get through this.
SELECT * FROM (SELECT *, row_number() over() rn FROM people
WHERE online_status LIKE '%Online%') foo WHERE online_status LIKE '%Online%' AND foo.rn % 3 =0
What I also tried is:
However this has updated every single row. not the ones I needed.
UPDATE people
SET online_status = 'Offline 00:00-24:00'
WHERE people.Object_id IN
(SELECT *
FROM
(SELECT people.Object_id, row_number() over() rn FROM people
WHERE online_status LIKE '%Online%') foo WHERE people LIKE '%Online%' AND foo.rn % 3 =0);
Is there a way to take list from Select code above and simply update it or run a few scripts that could add it to like temp table and store object ids, and the next script would update main table if object id would match temp table.
Thank you for any help :)
Don't select other columns but Object_id in the subquery at WHERE people.Object_id IN (..)
UPDATE people
SET online_status = 'Offline 00:00-24:00'
WHERE Object_id IN
( SELECT Object_id
FROM
( SELECT p.Object_id, row_number() over() rn
FROM people p
WHERE p.online_status LIKE '%Online%') foo
WHERE foo.rn % 3 = 0
);
I have to read a txt data that contains a first load that someone do, and insert data into 2 tables. this means:
At the begining tab_data and tab_list is empty.
with the first txt record, i have to validate first if "C43R" exist on "tab_list" table, if not, i have to insert and get the new ID, and after that insert that new ID created on "tab_data" table with the rest of information.
With the second record, first i have to validate if "C43R" exist on "tab_list" table, if exist i have to get the ID, and after that insert that new ID created on "tab_data" table with the rest of information.
with the fourth txt record, i have to validate first if "M23K" exist on "tab_list" table, if not, i have to insert and get the new ID, and after that insert that new ID created on "tab_data" table with the rest of information.
And the same with all the rows from the txt file.
So how can i start with this?
Does any body have a suggestion or a solution?
Really thanks, regards
You could do this with two queries. The logic would be to first feed tab_list, then tab_data. Note that you need an ordering column in txt_data for this to make sense - I assumed id.
This inserts into tab_list, while manually generating a sequence that starts at 10.
insert into tab_list(id, tab)
select tab_id, 9 + row_number() over(order by min(id))
from txt_data
group by tab_id
With this set-up at hand, you can then insert in tab_data:
insert into tab_data (id, tab_id, data)
select
99 + row_number() over(order by d.id),
l.id,
d.data
from txt_data d
inner join tab_list l on l.tab_id = d.tab_id
I have a problem I have been working on the past several hours. It is complex (for me) and I don't expect someone to do it for me. I just need the right direction.
Problem: We had the tables (below) added to our database and I need to update them based off of data already in our DailyCosts table. The tricky part is that I need to take DailyCosts.Notes and move it to PurchaseOrder.PoNumber. Notes is where we currenlty have the PONumbers.
I started with the Insert below, testing it out on one WellID. This is Inserting records from our DailyCosts table to the new PurchaseOrder table:
Insert Into PurchaseOrder (PoNumber,WellId,JObID,ID)
Select Distinct Cast(Notes As nvarchar(20)), WellID, JOBID,
DailyCosts.DailyCostID
From DailyCosts
Where WellID = '24A-23'
It affected 1973 rows (The Notes are in Ntext)
However, I need to update the other new tables because we need to see the actual PONumbers in the application.
This next Insert is Inserting records from our DailyCost table and new PurchaseOrder table (from above) to a new table called PurchaseOrderDailyCost
Insert Into PurchaseOrderDailyCost (WellID, JobID, ReportNo, AccountCode, PurchaseOrderID,ID,DailyCostSeqNo, DailyCostID)
Select Distinct DailyCosts.WellID,DailyCosts.JobID,DailyCosts.ReportNo,DailyCosts.AccountCode,
PurchaseOrder.ID,NEWID(),0,DailyCosts.DailyCostID
From DailyCosts join
PurchaseOrder ON DailyCosts.WellID = PurchaseOrder.WellID
Where DailyCosts.WellID = '24A-23'
Unfortunately, this produces 3,892,729 records. The Notes field contains the same list of PONumbers each day. This is by design so that the people inputting the data out in the field can easily track their PO numbers. The new PONumber column that we are moving the Notes to would store just unique POnumbers. I modified the query by replacing NEWID() with DailyCostID and the Join to ON DailyCosts.DailyCostID = PurchaseOrder.ID
This affected 1973 rows the same as the first Insert.
The next Insert looks like this:
Insert Into PurchaseOrderAccount (WellID, JobID, PurchaseOrderID, ID, AccountCode)
Select PurchaseOrder.WellID, PurchaseOrder.JobID, PurchaseOrder.ID, PurchaseOrderDailyCost.DailyCostID,PurchaseOrderDailyCost.AccountCode
From PurchaseOrder Inner Join
PurchaseOrderDailyCost ON PurchaseOrder.ID = PurchaseOrderDailyCost.DailyCostID
Where PurchaseOrder.WellID = '24A-23'
The page in the application now shows the PONumbers in the correct column. Everything looks like I want it to.
Unfortunately, it slows down the application to an unacceptable level. I need to figure out how to either modify my Insert or delete duplicate records. The problem is that there are multiple foreign key constraints. I have some more information below for reference.
This shows the application after the inserts. These are all duplicate records that I am hoping to elminate
Here is some additional information I received from the vendor about the tables:
-- add a new purchase order
INSERT INTO PurchaseOrder
(WellID, JobID, ID, PONumber, Amount, Description)
VALUES ('MyWell', 'MyJob', NEWID(), 'PO444444', 500.0, 'A new Purchase Order')
-- link a purchase order with id 'A356FBF4-A19B-4466-9E5C-20C5FD0E95C3' to a DailyCost record with SeqNo 0 and AccountCode 'MyAccount'
INSERT INTO PurchaseOrderDailyCost
(WellID, JobID, ReportNo, AccountCode, DailyCostSeqNo, PurchaseOrderID, ID)
VALUES ('MyWell', 'MyJob', 4, 'MyAccount', 0, 'A356FBF4-A19B-4466-9E5C-20C5FD0E95C3', NEWID())
-- link a purchase order with id 'A356FBF4-A19B-4466-9E5C-20C5FD0E95C3' to an account code 'MyAccount'
-- (i.e. make it choosable from the DailyCost PO-column dropdown for any DailyCost record whose account code is 'MyAccount')
INSERT INTO PurchaseOrderAccount
(WellID, JobID, PurchaseOrderID, ID, AccountCode)
VALUES ('MyWell', 'MyJob', 'A356FBF4-A19B-4466-9E5C-20C5FD0E95C3', NEWID(), 'MyAccount')
-- link a purchase order with id 'A356FBF4-A19B-4466-9E5C-20C5FD0E95C3' to an AFE No. 'MyAFENo'
-- (same behavior as with the account codes above)
INSERT INTO PurchaseOrderAFE
(WellID, JobID, PurchaseOrderID, ID, AFENo)
VALUES ('MyWell', 'MyJob', 'A356FBF4-A19B-4466-9E5C-20C5FD0E95C3', NEWID(), 'MyAFENo')
So it turns out I missed some simple joining principles. The better I get the more silly mistakes I seem to make. Basically, on my very first insert, I did not include a Group By. Adding this took my INSERT from 1973 to 93. Then on my next insert, I joined DailyCosts.Notes on PurchaseOrder.PONumber since these are the only records from DailyCosts I needed. This was previously INSERT 2 on my question. From there basically, everything came together. Two steps forward an one step back. Thanks to everyone that responded to this.
Overview:
I have a page in my application that allows a user to set the priority of a list of records. These records are essentially tasks or goals that the team will need to complete. The order they are given is determined by the user dragging and dropping them into place. Once the user is done and saves the changes, it loops over the data and updates the records in the database with their respective order.
Issue:
The problem I am now running into is on a separate page at which the user can delete a record that may have a priority assigned to it. Since the saving and calculation of a priority is done on another page, deleting a record causes gaps in the sequence.
Example:
Projects that are prioritized:
A (1)
B (2)
C (3)
D (4)
E (5)
F (6)
G (7)
Project gets deleted from another page / function:
A (1)
B (2)
C (3)
D (4)
F (6)
G (7)
Question:
I need to make some type of function I can run after a record is deleted to "repair/re sync" this number sequence. Essentially the single column priority needs to be updated and in the example, F would need to be updated to 5 and G updated to 6 in order to fix the sequence gap.
What I have tried:
Mostly researching a way to solve for this to be honest. I was thinking of putting all the records into a temp table with an Auto Increment number and using that to update the priority level but I feel like there is probably a more simple solution and wanted some opinions.
After you delete you simple need to update the rows that are greater than the priority just deleted. So if your column name is Priority and you delete the row where Priority = 5 you simply do something like this. Notice you don't need to use loops here.
Update YourTable
set Priority = Priority - 1
where Priority > 5
You could use triggers, which would trigger automatically when delete is done. You could always take values from deleted.
More info
SQL Server ON DELETE Trigger
As others have suggested, if you're only deleting one at a time, just update the numbers immediately after deletion. If you want to renumber the whole table at once (perhaps there have been multiple deletions), you can use ROW_NUMBER() and a CTE:
DECLARE #Project TABLE (
Name nvarchar(100)
, Priority int
);
-- Projects that are prioritized
INSERT #Project ( Name, Priority ) VALUES
('A', 1)
, ('B', 2)
, ('C', 3)
, ('D', 4)
, ('E', 5)
, ('F', 6)
, ('G', 7)
;
SELECT * FROM #Project;
-- Projects get deleted
DELETE #Project WHERE Name = 'E';
DELETE #Project WHERE Name = 'C';
SELECT * FROM #Project;
-- Renumber
WITH P AS
(
SELECT Name, Priority, ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( ORDER BY Priority ) AS NewPriority
FROM #Project
)
UPDATE P SET Priority = NewPriority
;
-- Ta da!
SELECT * FROM #Project;
Why not just set the Priority in the procedure that extracts the records from the database? that way you don't need to change the priority cause it's always computed on the fly when you read the rows. the only issue is that when you save the new sequence after a user changes the priority sequence, you delete all the records and add them back in in the correct sequence, with an auto-incrementing primary key (pk).
I don't know your sequence, but this example should give you the idea.
Select Record,
(Select count(*) From table
Where pk <= t.pk) Priority
From Table t
I have a status table, and another table containing additional data. My object IDs are the PK in the status table, so I need to insert those into the additional data table for each new row.
I need to insert a new row into my statusTable for each new listing, containing just constants.
declare #temp TABLE(listingID int)
insert into statusTable(status, date)
output Inserted.listingID into #temp
select 1, getdate()
from anotherImportedTable
This gets me enough new listing IDs to use.
I now need to insert the actual listing data into another table, and map each row to one of those listingIDs -
insert into listingExtraData(listingID, data)
select t.listingID, a.data
from #temp t, anotherImportedTable a
Now this obviously doesn't work, because otherDataTable and the IDs in #temp are unrelated... so I get far too many rows inserted.
How can I insert each row from anotherImportedTable into listingExtraData along with a unique newly created listingID? could I possibly trigger some more sql at the point I do the output in the first block of sql?
edit: thanks for the input so far, here's what the tables look like:
anotherImportedTable:
data
statusTable:
listingID (pk), status, date
listingExtraData:
data, listingID
You see that I only want to create one entry into statusTable per row in anotherImportedTable, then put one listingID with a row from anotherImportedTable into listingExtraData... I'm thinking that I might have to resort to a cursor perhaps?
Ok, here's how you can do it (if I'm right about what you actually want to do):
insert into listingExtraData(listingID, data)
select q1.listingID, q2.data
from
(select ListingID, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (order by ListingID) as rn from #temp t) as q1
inner join (select data, ROW_NUMBER() over (order by data) as rn from anotherImportedTable) q2 on q1.rn = q2.rn
In case you matching logic differs you will need to change sorting of anotherImportedTable. In case your match order can not be achieved by ordering anotherImportTable [in one way or another] then you're out of luck.
