while creating a table select one column from another table sql - sql

Is there a way to select only one column from other table in a single SQL statement without using Alter again after creating a table with new columns
like below but its just for understanding
create table compliance_rules_filter_groups
( group_id int,
group_name varchar(50),
rule_id int (select rule_id from compliance_rules),
m_group_filter_logical_condition varchar(10)
)

You are creating table column rule_id as int not, inserting data in this statement. You can use rule_id from compliance_rules table while you are going to insert data to compliance_rules_filter_groups table.
While inserting you may do as following or INNER JOIN could be used depends on your table structure. But after all main thing is, you can't insert data with CREATE statement.
INSERT INTO compliance_rules_filter_groups(group_id, group_name, rule_id, m_group_filter_logical_condition)
SELECT 1, '', (select rule_id from compliance_rules), ''

How to split data in SQL Server table row

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

Inserting multiple rows in temp table without loop

This question has already been asked several times but the solution is not working for me. I don't know why.
Actually i am trying to create a temp table in sql query where i am inserting some records in temp table using select into but everytime it returns empty row:
here is what i am trying:
Create Table #TempTable
(
EntityID BIGINT
)
INSERT INTO #TempTable (EntityID)
SELECT pkEntityID FROM Employee WHERE EmpID = 45
Select * from #TempTable
Corresponding to 45 , there are 10 rows in Employee table. IS it like I have to do something else or a loop like structure here as we can only insert one row in a table at once?
This has been stated in the comments, all of which i up-voted, but to answer your question... there isn't anything else you have to do. There clearly isn't an EmpID = 45 in your source table. Here's a reproducible example:
Declare #Employee Table (pkEntityID bigint, EmpID int)
insert into #Employee (pkEntityID, EmpID)
values
(32168123,45),
(89746541,45),
(55566331,45),
(45649224,12)
Create Table #TempTable
(
EntityID BIGINT
)
INSERT INTO #TempTable (EntityID)
SELECT pkEntityID FROM #Employee WHERE EmpID = 45
Select * from #TempTable
drop table #TempTable
Have you accidentally also created the Employee table in the master database and you are currently connected to the master database?

Extract Row ID from Table - Insert Then Select

Is it Possible to extract the ID of the record being inserted in a table at the time of inserting dat particular record into that table ??? Reference to Sql Server
Read about INSERT with OUTPUT. This is in my experience the easiest way of achieving an atomic INSERT outputting an inserted value.
Example, assuming that Table contains an auto-incremented field named ID:
DECLARE #outputResult TABLE (ID BIGINT)
INSERT INTO Table
(
Field1,
Field2
)
OUPUT INSERTED.ID INTO #outputResult
VALUES
(
....
)
SELECT TOP 1 ID FROM #outputResult
You can select the ID afterwards with
SELECT ##IDENTITY
or
SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY()

Is it possible to create indexes on a temp table when using SELECT INTO?

I am loading data from a CSV file into a temp staging table and this temp table is being queried a lot. I looked at my execution plan and saw that a lot of the time is spent scanning the temp table.
Is there any way to create index on this table when I SELECT INTO it?
SELECT *
FROM TradeTable.staging.Security s
WHERE (
s.Identifier IS NOT NULL
OR s.ConstituentTicker IS NOT NULL
OR s.CompositeTicker IS NOT NULL
OR s.CUSIP IS NOT NULL
OR s.ISIN IS NOT NULL
OR s.SEDOL IS NOT NULL
OR s.eSignalTicker IS NOT NULL)
The table created by SELECT INTO is always a heap. If you want a PK/Identity column you can either do as you suggest in the comments
CREATE TABLE #T
(
Id INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
/*Other Columns*/
)
INSERT INTO #T
SELECT *
FROM TradeTable.staging.Security
Or avoid the explicit CREATE and need to list all columns out with
SELECT TOP (0) IDENTITY(int,1,1) As Id, *
INTO #T
FROM TradeTable.staging.Security
ALTER TABLE #T ADD PRIMARY KEY(Id)
INSERT INTO #T
SELECT *
FROM TradeTable.staging.Security

Can you define a new column in a SQL Server table which auto-generates Unique Identifiers for new rows?

Auto-increment columns in SQL Server get populated automatically; is it possible to define a UniqueIdentifier column to auto-generate on insert without the use of a trigger?
This will be a secondary unique key on the table. I need to create it because we need a public primary key now which can be used within a query string.
Legacy infrastructure still relies on the old int primary key. Given that the old infrastructure creates the record in the first place, I would like SQL Server to transparently create the secondary GUID key on insert - if at all possible.
Many thanks
You can use a column with Uniqueidentifier type with default value of NEWID()
If you add a column to your table with a default of NEWID() and then update existing rows to have a new id too. You may wa
-- Create test table
CREATE TABLE Test1
(
ID int IDENTITY(1,1)
,Txt char(1)
);
-- Insert data
INSERT INTO Test1(Txt)
SELECT 'a' UNION ALL
SELECT 'b' UNION ALL
SELECT 'c' UNION ALL
SELECT 'd' UNION ALL
SELECT 'e';
-- Add column
ALTER TABLE Test1
ADD GlobalID uniqueidentifier DEFAULT(NEWID());
-- View table, default value not added for existing rows
SELECT *
FROM Test1;
-- Update null ids with guids
UPDATE Test1
SET GlobalID = NEWID()
WHERE GlobalID IS NULL
-- Insert new data
INSERT INTO Test1(Txt)
SELECT 'f' UNION ALL
SELECT 'g' UNION ALL
SELECT 'h' UNION ALL
SELECT 'i' UNION ALL
SELECT 'j';
-- View table
SELECT *
FROM Test1;
-- Drop table
DROP TABLE Test1
