I have a table with 3 fields and 10 records. I want to make a SELECT on the 1st field with a WHERE and get the unique values. So if the select return 4 values of the field1 lets say AA, AA, AB, AC, I want to get AA, AB & AC.
How I can do it?
Thanks in advance
Remember you should use OpenSQL when working with abap in SAP. A pretty concise guide can be found here: Complete OpenSql statements guide written by Tamás Holics. The statement you are looking for I think is:
SELECT DISTINCT field1 FROM table INTO TABLE itab
This would load all the distinct values from your database table into an internal table for further instructions.

I am working in SQL server and have two tables in my database, I am attaching their sample screenshots below:
Table 1:table_1
And the second table is as shown in the image below:
Table 2:table_2
I am trying to assign all the Korean language values from table_1 which are in Action_Item_in_Korean column to each value in the Asset_No column so my output should look like as shown below:
Output:Output
Each Asset_No should repeat 8 times because there are 8 values in table_1 that need to be updated. , I know that simple update query is not enough to display the output as I need, searched alot but so far unable to design a solution for this.
You tagged "cross join" and that seems like it satisfies your goal. A simple example is:
select <columns you desire>
from dbo.[table 1] as t1 cross join dbo.[table 2] as t2
order by ...
;
I have a scenario, where 100's of select statements sql's are in one metadata table or some text file.
Need to insert all sql results into one specific table. (master table has col1, col2,col3 .... 200columns )
problem im facing(ORA-00947) is every select statement has different number of columns.
.. i need to generate INSERT PART.
CASE 1 : INSERT INTO (COL1,COL2,COL3) <<this select part comes from file/variable>>
CASE 2 : INSERT INTO (COL1) <<this select part comes from file/variable>>
CASE 3 : INSERT INTO (COL1) <<this select part comes from file/variable>>
have to figure out how many columns are in select part then generate INSERT part.
.
Thought of create as select but problem is some select statement has max(col) without alias so it will fail.
This is too long for a comment.
If you are storing SQL in a table, then you are constructing your query dynamically. So, update the table and list the columns that you want.
You could then construct the inserts as :
insert into master_table (<column list here>)
<select here>;
Both the select and column list would come from the table.
By far the easiest is to create a view for each SELECT statement. Then you can query the USER_TAB_COLUMNS view on the view name and get the column names.

In Table A i have many fields like referenceid, amount, timestamp, remarks, status, balancebefore, balanceafter, frmsisdn, tomsisdn, id etc etc
I want to create a new table, Table B based of Table A(with column names, datatypes etc etc) but i only need specific columns that are in table A.
I tried select * into TableB from TableA where 1 = 2 but it says ORA-00905: missing keyword. I am using TOAD.
thank you
In Oracle, the correct syntax is create table as. SELECT INTO is used primarily in SQL Server and Sybase.
create table tableb as
select . . .
from tableA;
Only include the where clause if you don't actually want to insert any rows.
In MySQL the syntax is the same as Oracle's (see here).
Notice that the new table does not contain any constraints from the original table (indexes, keys, etc.)
I had to make a new table to get the Include statement working in Entity Framework since EF was looking for a table called be_PostTagbe_Posts. I was using EF Code First from DB. But now the question is about SQL. I added one row of data and now the include works. But what I am looking for is a SQL command that can copy data from 1 column in 1 table and 1 column in another into the new be_PostTagbe_Posts table. In the be_Posts table I need the data in PostRowID to go into be_Posts_PostRowID and PostTagId to go into be_PostTag_PostTagID. Both be_PostTag_PostTagID and be_Posts_PostRowID are in the new be_PostTagbe_Posts table. I am not very good with SQL so not sure how to do this.
Edit: Thanks for the answers. I tried 2 separate queries but only data was inserted into the the be_PostTag_PostTagID while be_PostTag_PostRowID remained null.
And I tried this query which returned The multi-part identifier "be_PostTag.PostID" could not be bound.
INSERT INTO be_PostTagbe_Posts(be_PostTag_PostTagID, be_Posts_PostRowID)
SELECT be_PostTag.PostTagID, be_Posts.PostRowID
WHERE be_PostTag.PostID = be_Posts.PostID
EDIT:
This only inserted half the data - even 2 inserts leave one column null
INSERT INTO be_PostTagbe_Posts (be_Posts_PostRowID)
SELECT PostRowID FROM be_Posts;
INSERT INTO be_PostTagbe_Posts (be_PostTag_PostTagID)
SELECT PostTagID FROM be_PostTag;
And yet management studio tells me the query executed successfully but one column is still null. Weird.
Here are screenshots of the tables:
SELECT PostTagID AS be_PostTag_PostTagID, PostRowID AS be_Posts_PostRowID
INTO be_PostTagbe_Posts
FROM be_PostTag
Inner JOIN be_Posts
ON be_PostTag.PostID=be_Posts.PostID
That command created the new table with the 2 columns populated.
If i understand you ,you want to Copy Table Z's Column A to Table X And Table Z's Column B to Table Y.
If it is so, According to your question it is not clear about Table Structure of TableX and TableY
Assuming TableX And TableY to single ColumnTable [Apart from IdentityColumn] our query will be
INSERT INTO TableX
SELECT ColumnA FROM TableZ
INSERT INTO TableY
SELECT ColumnB FROM TableZ
Rest put your Entire Structure of Table To Get More Help Because These query are on Assumptions
There's not enough information in your question to give you a working example, but this would be the general syntax for INSERTing into a different table using a query SELECTing from two other tables.
INSERT INTO destination_table(wanted_value_1, wanted_value_2)
SELECT table_1.source_field_1, table_2.source_field_1
WHERE table_1.matching_field = table_2.matching_field
There has to be some sort of relationship between the two tables for the WHERE clause to work in that statement. I'm guessing based the little information you provided that there is a PostRowID field somewhere in the table that contains the tags such that your data would look similar to this in the tag table:
PostRowID PostTagID
--------- ---------
1 1
1 2
1 3
1 4
2 1
2 2
3 3
4 4
It sounds like you should use two sql statements:
Insert into `be_PostTagbe_Posts` (`be_PostTag_PostTagID`)
select `PostTagID` from POSTTAGIDTABLE
and
Insert into `be_PostTagbe_Posts` (`be_Posts_PostRowID`)
select `PostRowID` from POSTTAGIDTABLE
unless the items have some sort of relationship, then if you have a select statement that will select the merged data in two columns you can just do
Insert into `be_PostTagbe_Posts` (`be_PostTag_PostTagID`,`be_Posts_PostRowID`)
(select statement that selects the two items)
First off, i should say up front that i am not a very strong SQL person, so please be gentle :)
I need to perform about 400 inserts into a particular table. The data that i will be using for these inserts, i can collect from a SELECT statement that runs off a different table. I only need the data from 1 column from this table.
So, im hoping someone can help me write the SQL that will basically take the list of id's that are returned from my select, and use that list to do a mass insert into another table.
In psuedocode, something like this:
Select BankID from BankTable; - this returns 300 rows
Insert Into AccountTable -- this will add all 300 rows into the 2nd table
Values
(BankID)
thanks in advance guys...
Very simple, you basically said it. :-)
INSERT Into AccountTable (BankId, SecondColumn) SELECT BankId,'XXX' as staticText FROM BankTable;
It can be done in one statement:
Insert Into AccountTable (bankid)
Select BankID from BankTable
This assumes that the column in AccountTable is also named bankid; if not, just set the name appropriately in the parenthesis.
Keep in mind your INSERT statement must include the columns if the select statement does not match your table definition precisely.
INSERT AccountTable (BankID)
SELECT BankID
FROM BankTable
For multiple columns simply include the column list:
INSERT AccountTable (BankID, BankName)
SELECT BankID, BankName
FROM BankTable
You can also run into type conversion issues if the data types of the columns don't match (i.e. integer fields won't take alpha characters, etc.), but it is not a necessity that the column names match. Just get the order of columns and types right and you should be good.
