Alternative to Iteration for INSERT SELECT UPDATE in a sequence - sql

I have a table with around 17k unique rows for which I need to run these set of statements in sequence
INSERT INTO TABLE1 using MASTERTABLE data (MASTERTABLE have 6 column)
SELECT value of column ID (Primary Key) of newly inserted row from TABLE1
Update that ID value in TABLE2 using a Stored Procedure
I have tried:
while loop: took around 3 hours to complete the execution
cursor: cancelled the query after executing it overnight
In my understanding I can not use JOIN as I need to execute the statements in a sequence

The questions is not detailed enough. The general idea I would like to use something like this
-- create a output table to hold new id, and key columns to join later
DECLARE #OutputTbl TABLE (ID INT, key_Columns in MASTERTABLE)
INSERT INTO TABLE1
OUTPUT INSERTED.ID, MASTERTABLE.key_columns INTO #OutputTbl
SELECT *
FROM MASTERTABLE
UPDATE T2
SET ID = o.ID
FROM TABLE2 t2
INNER JOIN OutputTbl o
ON t2.key_column = o.key_column

Maybe you can consider a TRIGGER on TABLE1 from which to call the stored procedure on TABLE2, and then you can call your INSERT as you wish/need.. one by one or in blocks..
DROP TRIGGER TR_UPD_TABLE2
GO
CREATE TRIGGER TR_UPD_TABLE2 ON TABLE1 AFTER INSERT
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE #columnID INT = NULL
IF (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM INSERTED)=1 BEGIN
-- SINGLE INSERT
SET #columnID = (SELECT columnID FROM INSERTED)
EXEC TableTwoUpdateProcedure #columnID
END ELSE BEGIN
-- MASSIVE INSERT (IF NEEDED)
SET #columnID = 0
WHILE #columnID IS NOT NULL BEGIN
SET #columnID = (SELECT MIN(columnID) FROM INSERTED WHERE columnID > #columnID)
IF #columnID IS NOT NULL BEGIN
EXEC TableTwoUpdateProcedure #columnID
END
END
END
END

Update Trigger For Multiple Rows

I am trying to Insert data in a table named "Candidate_Post_Info_Table_ChangeLogs" whenever a record is updated in another table named "Candidate_Personal_Info_Table". my code works fine whenever a single record is updated but when i try to updated multiple rows it gives error:
"Sub query returned more then 1 value".
Following is my code :
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[Candidate_PostInfo_UPDATE]
ON [dbo].[Candidate_Post_Info_Table]
AFTER UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
IF ##ROWCOUNT = 0
RETURN
DECLARE #Candidate_Post_ID int
DECLARE #Candidate_ID varchar(50)
DECLARE #Action VARCHAR(50)
DECLARE #OldValue VARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE #NewValue VARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE #Admin_id int
IF UPDATE(Verified)
BEGIN
SET #Action = 'Changed Verification Status'
SET #Candidate_Post_ID = (Select ID From inserted)
SET #Candidate_ID = (Select Identity_Number from inserted)
SET #NewValue = (Select Verified From inserted)
SET #OldValue = (Select Verified From deleted)
IF(#NewValue != #OldValue)
BEGIN
INSERT INTO Candidate_Post_Info_Table_ChangeLogs(Candidate_Post_ID, Candidate_ID, Change_DateTime, action, NewValue, OldValue, Admin_ID)
VALUES(#Candidate_Post_ID, #Candidate_ID, GETDATE(), #Action, #NewValue, #OldValue, '1')
END
END
END
i have searched stack overflow for this issue but couldn't get any related answer specific to this scenario.
When you insert/update multiple rows into a table, the Inserted temporary table used by the system holds all of the values from all of the rows that were inserted or updated.
Therefore, if you do an update to 6 rows, the Inserted table will also have 6 rows, and doing something like this:
SET #Candidate_Post_ID = (Select ID From inserted)
Will return an error, just the same as doing this:
SET #Candidate_Post_ID = (SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 2 UNION ALL SELECT 3 UNION ALL SELECT 4 UNION ALL SELECT 5 UNION ALL SELECT 6)
From the looks of things, you tried to do this with an iterative approach. Set-based is better. Maybe consider doing it like this in the body of your TRIGGER (without all of the parameters...):
IF UPDATE(Verified)
BEGIN
INSERT INTO Candidate_Post_Info_Table_ChangeLogs
(
Candidate_Post_ID
,Candidate_ID
,Change_DateTime
,action
,NewValue
,OldValue
,Admin_ID
)
SELECT
I.ID
,I.Identity_Number
,GETDATE()
,'Changed Verification Status'
,I.Verified
,O.Verified
,'1'
FROM Inserted I
INNER JOIN Deleted O
ON I.ID = O.ID -- Check this condition to make sure it's a unique join per row
WHERE I.Verified <> O.Verified
END
A similar case was solved in the following thread using cursors.... please check it
SQL Server A trigger to work on multiple row inserts
Also the below thread gives the solution based on set based approach
SQL Server - Rewrite trigger to avoid cursor based approach
*Both the above threads are from stack overflow...

Insert Query to insert multiple rows in a table via select and output clause. SQL Server 2008

I have a created a stored procedure (please ignore syntax errors)
alter proc usp_newServerDetails
(#appid int, #envid int, #serType varchar(20), #servName varchar(20))
as
declare #oTbl_sd table (ID int)
declare #outID1
declare #oTbl_cd table (ID int)
declare #outID2
begin Transaction
insert into server_details(envid, servertype, servername)
output inserted.serverid into #oTbl_sd(ID)
values(#envid, #serType, #servName)
select #outID1 = ID from #oTbl_sd
insert into configdetails(serverid, servertype, configpath, configtype)
output inserted.configid into #oTbl_cd(ID)
(select #outID1, cm.servertype, cm.configpath, cm.configtype
from configpthmaster cm
where cm.appid = #appid )
select #outID2 = ID from #oTbl_cd
insert into configkeydetails(confiid, keyname)
output inserted.Keyid into #oTbl_ckd(ID)
(select #outID2, cm.key
from configpthmaster cm
where cm.appid = #appid)
begin
commit
end
server_details table has an identity column ID with is auto-generated ie. #outID1 and first insert query inserts only 1 row.
configpthmaster table is not related to any other table directly and has 2 unique data rows, which I want to fetch to insert data into other tables, one by one during insertion.
The second insert query fetch data from configpthmaster table
and insert 2 rows in configdetails while generating (auto-generated) ID ie. #outID2.
It also has a FK mapped to server_details.
The problem is "#outID2" giving last inserted ID only (ie. if two id generated 100,101 i am getting 101) which eventually on 3rd insertion, inserting 2 rows with same id 101 only but i want the insertion should be linear. i.e one for 100 and other for 101.
If zero rows affected while insertion how to rollback the transaction?
How can I achieve these requirements? Please help.
Change your procedure like below,and try again.
ALTER PROCEDURE usp_newServerDetails(#appid int, #envid int,#serType varchar(20),#servName varchar(20))
AS
BEGIN
BEGIN TRY
DECLARE #Output TABLE (ID int,TableName VARCHAR(50),cmKey VARCHAR(50)) --table variable for keeping Inserted ID's
BEGIN TRAN
IF EXISTS ( SELECT 1 FROM configpthmaster cm WHERE cm.appid = #appid )
AND ( SELECT 1 FROM configkeydetails ck WHERE ck.appid = #appid ) --add a conditon to satisfy the valid insertions
BEGIN
INSERT INTO server_detials(envid,servertype,servername)
OUTPUT inserted.serverid,'server_detials',NULL INTO #Output(ID,TableName,cmKey )
VALUES(#envid ,#serType ,#servName)
INSERT INTO configdetails(serverid,servertype,configpath,configtype)
OUTPUT inserted.configid,'configdetails',cm.Key INTO #Output(ID,TableName,cmKey )
SELECT t.ID,cm.servertype,cm.configpath,cm.configtype
FROM configpthmaster cm
CROSS APPLY (SELECT ID FROM #Output WHERE TableName='server_detials')t
WHERE cm.appid = #appid
INSERT INTO configkeydetails(configId,keyname)
SELECT ID,cmKey FROM #Output
WHERE TableName='configdetails'
END
COMMIT TRAN
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
IF ##TRANCOUNT > 0
ROLLBACK
END CATCH
END
Could you try this solution?
alter proc usp_newServerDetails(#appid int, #envid int,#serType varchar(20),#servName varchar(20))
as
declare #oTbl_sd table (ID int)
declare #outID1
declare #oTbl_cd table (ID int)

I just added STUFF in your code.
The STUFF function inserts a string into another string.
Do take note that using STUFF drastically slows the processing time of the code.

SQL Server after update trigger

I have a problem with this trigger. I would like it to update the requested information
only to the row in question (the one I just updated) and not the entire table.
CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[after_update]
ON [dbo].[MYTABLE]
AFTER UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
UPDATE MYTABLE
SET mytable.CHANGED_ON = GETDATE(),
CHANGED_BY=USER_NAME(USER_ID())
How do I tell the trigger that this applies only to the row in question?
Here is my example after a test
CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].UpdateTasadoresName
ON [dbo].Tasadores
FOR UPDATE
AS
UPDATE Tasadores
SET NombreCompleto = RTRIM( Tasadores.Nombre + ' ' + isnull(Tasadores.ApellidoPaterno,'') + ' ' + isnull(Tasadores.ApellidoMaterno,'') )
FROM Tasadores
INNER JOIN INSERTED i ON Tasadores.id = i.id
The inserted special table will have the information from the updated record.
Try this (update, not after update)
CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[xxx_update] ON [dbo].[MYTABLE]
FOR UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
UPDATE MYTABLE
SET mytable.CHANGED_ON = GETDATE()
,CHANGED_BY = USER_NAME(USER_ID())
FROM inserted
WHERE MYTABLE.ID = inserted.ID
END
you can call INSERTED, SQL Server uses these tables to capture the data of the modified row before and after the event occurs.I assume in your table the name of the key is Id
I think the following code can help you
CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[after_update]
ON [dbo].[MYTABLE]
AFTER UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
UPDATE dbo.[MYTABLE]
SET dbo.[MYTABLE].CHANGED_ON = GETDATE(),
dbo.[MYTABLE].CHANGED_BY = USER_NAME(USER_ID())
FROM INSERTED
WHERE INSERTED.Id = dbo.[MYTABLE].[Id]
END
You should be able to access the INSERTED table and retrieve ID or table's primary key. Something similar to this example ...
CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[after_update] ON [dbo].[MYTABLE]
AFTER UPDATE AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #id AS INT
SELECT #id = [IdColumnName]
FROM INSERTED
UPDATE MYTABLE
SET mytable.CHANGED_ON = GETDATE(),
CHANGED_BY=USER_NAME(USER_ID())
WHERE [IdColumnName] = #id
Here's a link on MSDN on the INSERTED and DELETED tables available when using triggers: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-au/library/ms191300.aspx
It is very simple to do that,
First create a copy of your table that your want keep the log for
For example you have Table dbo.SalesOrder with columns SalesOrderId, FirstName,LastName, LastModified
Your Version archieve table should be dbo.SalesOrderVersionArchieve with columns SalesOrderVersionArhieveId, SalesOrderId, FirstName,LastName, LastModified
Here is the how you will set up a trigger on SalesOrder table
USE [YOURDB]
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
-- =============================================
-- Author: Karan Dhanu
-- Create date: <Create Date,,>
-- Description: <Description,,>
-- =============================================
CREATE TRIGGER dbo.[CreateVersionArchiveRow]
ON dbo.[SalesOrder]
AFTER Update
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
INSERT INTO dbo.SalesOrderVersionArchive
SELECT *
FROM deleted;
END
Now if you make any changes in saleOrder table it will show you the change in VersionArchieve table
try this solution.
DECLARE #Id INT
DECLARE #field VARCHAR(50)
SELECT #Id= INSERTED.CustomerId
FROM INSERTED
IF UPDATE(Name)
BEGIN
SET #field = 'Updated Name'
END
IF UPDATE(Country)
BEGIN
SET #field = 'Updated Country'
END
INSERT INTO CustomerLogs
VALUES(#Id, #field)
// OR
-- If you wish to update existing table records.
UPDATE YOUR_TABLE SET [FIELD]=[VALUE] WHERE {CONDITION}
I didn't checked this with older version of sql server but this will work with sql server 2012.
Try this script to create a temporary table TESTTEST and watch the order of precedence as the triggers are called in this order: 1) INSTEAD OF, 2) FOR, 3) AFTER
All of the logic is placed in INSTEAD OF trigger and I have 2 examples of how you might code some scenarios...
Good luck...

First off, your trigger as you already see is going to update every record in the table. There is no filtering done to accomplish jus the rows changed.
Secondly, you're assuming that only one row changes in the batch which is incorrect as multiple rows could change.
The way to do this properly is to use the virtual inserted and deleted tables: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191300.aspx
Trigger
special kind of stored procedure
automatically execured/fired when some event Insert/Update/Delete Occures
use when we want some event to happen automatically on certain desirable scenarios
triggers makes use of 2 tables inserted/deleted table in ssms(memory)
ONLY availabe in context of trigger(CANNOT ACCESS Outside the Trigger
when we insert/delete using trigger, a copy of row is maintained in the inserted/deleted table
inserted table - contains updated data |
deleted table - contains old data
Trigger to Update "ModifiedOn" Date Automatically when record in table is modified(UPDATED)
CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[Trg_TableName_UpdateModifiedOn]

How can I update the data row by row by the loop after insert those records into another table in mssql?

Does anyone know how can I update the data row by row by the loop after insert those records into another table in mssql?
Example:
I have the following table (tableA)
ID Name is_Feeded
1 Alvin 0
2 Ben 0
3 Lee 1
4 David 0
I want to insert those table from tableA to tableB then update the column is_Feeded to 1 in tableA through a loop?
Anyone know how can I do it in mssql?
Assuming SQL Server 2005 or higher, you can do this in a single statement.
UPDATE A
OUTPUT
inserted.ID,
inserted.Name
INTO
dbo.TableB (ID, Name)
SET
A.is_Feeded = 1 -- is fed?
FROM
dbo.tableA A
WHERE
A.is_Feeded = 0
;
A trigger is also possible, but I don't recommend using one if you can avoid it. If you must to use a trigger (such as perhaps a case where you can't control updates to tableA) then:
CREATE TRIGGER TableA_U ON dbo.TableA FOR UPDATE
AS
INSERT dbo.tableB (ID, Name)
SELECT
I.ID,
I.Name
FROM
inserted I
;
To me it is more natural to insert to tableB based on an update to tableA than to update tableA in response to an insert to tableB.
I would write a trigger for tableB. After you insert a row there, the trigger can update the specific value in tableA
First copy data from tableA to tableB
INSERT INTO tableB
SELECT Name, id FROM tableA;
then set is feeded:
UPDATE tableA SET is_feeded = true
and finally you should do this in one transaction (syntax depends on your DB system, e.g. MySQL: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/commit.html)
you should directly add update field is_feeded when inserting data to TABLEB.
CREATE PROCEDURE xxxxx
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON ;
DECLARE #iOK INT ;
SET #iOK = 0 ;
BEGIN TRY
BEGIN TRANSACTION -- Start the transaction
--start Inserting --
INSERT INTO tableB
SELECT Name ,
id
FROM tableA ;
UPDATE tableA
SET is_feeded = true
-- If we reach here, success!
COMMIT
SET #iOK = 1 ;
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
-- Whoops, there was an error
IF ##TRANCOUNT > 0
ROLLBACK
-- Raise an error with the details of the exception
DECLARE #ErrMsg NVARCHAR(4000) ,
#ErrSeverity INT
SELECT #ErrMsg = ERROR_MESSAGE() ,
#ErrSeverity = ERROR_SEVERITY()
RAISERROR(#ErrMsg, #ErrSeverity, 1)
END CATCH
SELECT #iOK ;

SQL: Query timeout expired

I have a simple query for update table (30 columns and about 150 000 rows).
For example:
UPDATE tblSomeTable set F3 = #F3 where F1 = #F1
This query will affected about 2500 rows.
The tblSomeTable has a trigger:
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[trg_tblSomeTable]
ON [dbo].[tblSomeTable]
AFTER INSERT,DELETE,UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
declare #operationType nvarchar(1)
declare #createDate datetime
declare #UpdatedColumnsMask varbinary(500) = COLUMNS_UPDATED()
-- detect operation type
if not exists(select top 1 * from inserted)
begin
-- delete
SET #operationType = 'D'
SELECT #createDate = dbo.uf_DateWithCompTimeZone(CompanyId) FROM deleted
end
else if not exists(select top 1 * from deleted)
begin
-- insert
SET #operationType = 'I'
SELECT #createDate = dbo..uf_DateWithCompTimeZone(CompanyId) FROM inserted
end
else
begin
-- update
SET #operationType = 'U'
SELECT #createDate = dbo..uf_DateWithCompTimeZone(CompanyId) FROM inserted
end
-- log data to tmp table
INSERT INTO tbl1
SELECT
#createDate,
#operationType,
#status,
#updatedColumnsMask,
d.F1,
i.F1,
d.F2,
i.F2,
d.F3,
i.F3,
d.F4,
i.F4,
d.F5,
i.F5,
...
FROM (Select 1 as temp) t
LEFT JOIN inserted i on 1=1
LEFT JOIN deleted d on 1=1
END
And if I execute the update query I have a timeout.
How can I optimize a logic to avoid timeout?
Thank you.
This query:
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT 1 AS temp
) t
LEFT JOIN
INSERTED i
ON 1 = 1
LEFT JOIN
DELETED d
ON 1 = 1
will yield 2500 ^ 2 = 6250000 records from a cartesian product of INSERTED and DELETED (that is all possible combinations of all records in both tables), which will be inserted into tbl1.
Is that what you wanted to do?
Most probably, you want to join the tables on their PRIMARY KEY:
INSERT
INTO tbl1
SELECT #createDate,
#operationType,
#status,
#updatedColumnsMask,
d.F1,
i.F1,
d.F2,
i.F2,
d.F3,
i.F3,
d.F4,
i.F4,
d.F5,
i.F5,
...
FROM INSERTED i
FULL JOIN
DELETED d
ON i.id = d.id
This will treat update to the PK as deleting a record and inserting another, with a new PK.
Thanks Quassnoi, It's a good idea with "FULL JOIN". It is helped me.
Also I try to update table in portions (1000 items in one time) to make my code works faster because for some companyId I need to update more than 160 000 rows.
Instead of old code:
UPDATE tblSomeTable set someVal = #someVal where companyId = #companyId
I use below one:
declare #rc integer = 0
declare #parts integer = 0
declare #index integer = 0
declare #portionSize int = 1000
-- select Ids for update
declare #tempIds table (id int)
insert into #tempIds
select id from tblSomeTable where companyId = #companyId
-- calculate amount of iterations
set #rc=##rowcount
set #parts = #rc / #portionSize + 1
-- update table in portions
WHILE (#parts > #index)
begin
UPDATE TOP (#portionSize) t
SET someVal = #someVal
FROM tblSomeTable t
JOIN #tempIds t1 on t1.id = t.id
WHERE companyId = #companyId
delete top (#portionSize) from #tempIds
set #index += 1
end
What do you think about this? Does it make sense? If yes, how to choose correct portion size?
Or simple update also good solution? I just want to avoid locks in the future.
Thanks
