I'm trying to update all table based on my value. This is a script Task in my SSIS package.
But I get the error:
Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.
Code looks like this:
DECLARE #Column_name varchar(MAX)
DECLARE #Column_Datatype varchar(max)
SET #COLUMN_NAME='site_id'
SET #COLUMN_DATATYPE='varchar(10)'

END

--Close and Deallocate Cursor
CLOSE CUR
DEALLOCATE CUR
I use a variable like input.
What's wrong?
How do I write the below code in SQL? The query would update each column in the table from the result.
DECLARE #table_list NVARCHAR -- What data type do I use to hold a list?
DECLARE #column_list NVARCHAR
SET #table_list = (SELECT DISTINCT [ID_TABLE_NAME] FROM dbo.VMO) -- there are more than one results
SET #column_list = (SELECT DISTINCT [USR_COL_NAME] FROM dbo.VMO) -- there are more than one results
foreach(#table IN #table_list)
{
foreach(#column IN #column_list)
{
UPDATE #table
SET #column = '101211'
WHERE #column = '10120'
}
}
You can use CURSORs to act like a foreach loop:
DECLARE #table NVARCHAR(255)
DECLARE #column NVARCHAR(255)
DECLARE OUTER_CURSOR CURSOR
FOR SELECT DISTINCT [ID_TABLE_NAME] FROM dbo.VMO
OPEN OUTER_CURSOR
FETCH NEXT FROM OUTER_CURSOR INTO #table
WHILE (##FETCH_STATUS <> -1)
BEGIN
DECLARE INNER_CURSOR CURSOR
FOR SELECT DISTINCT [USR_COL_NAME] FROM dbo.VMO
OPEN INNER_CURSOR
FETCH NEXT FROM INNER_CURSOR INTO #column
WHILE (##FETCH_STATUS <> -1)
BEGIN
DECLARE #strQuery NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET #strQuery = 'UPDATE [' + #table + '] SET [' + #column + '] = ''101211'' WHERE [' + #column + '] = ''10120'';'
EXEC(#strQUERY)
FETCH NEXT FROM INNER_CURSOR INTO #column
END
CLOSE INNER_CURSOR
DEALLOCATE INNER_CURSOR
FETCH NEXT FROM OUTER_CURSOR INTO #table
END
CLOSE OUTER_CURSOR
DEALLOCATE OUTER_CURSOR
T-SQL doesn't have a FOR loop, perhaps it has a WHILE (Transact-SQL)
Use SQL like below:
DECLARE #table_list NVARCHAR -- What data type do I use to hold a list?
DECLARE #column_list NVARCHAR
SET #table_list = (SELECT DISTINCT [ID_TABLE_NAME] FROM dbo.VMO) -- there are more than one results
SET #column_list = (SELECT DISTINCT [USR_COL_NAME] FROM dbo.VMO) -- there are more than one results
WHILE #column_list > #table_list
BEGIN
UPDATE #table
SET #column = '101211'
WHERE #column = '10120'
END;
I need to write some SQL to find all references of a particular column in a database. The column that I'm trying to find references to exists in a different databases. I've found a few examples of finding references of a column that exist in the same database:
In SQL Server, how can I find everywhere a column is referenced?
But I'm having problems figuring out how to do this for a column that exists in a different database. Can you provide the SQL for this? For example purposes, let's refer to the external column I'm trying to find as:
MyExternalDB.MyExternalSchema.MyExternalTable.MyExternalColumn
Ok, just run this and make sure you set your ColumnName variable

I need to Copy a Company in NAV Database to another Company in Different Database with SQL Query. I have achived this using the code below, but if the Structure is different in the Source or Destination my code fails. Please help me in modifying it, so i can copy the Structure and Data from the Source and replace Data and Structure in the Destination.

BackDrop: We are researching why a number of accounts were missed in a process. We have went back to as far as we have data. We now have a rather large list of accounts that for whatever reason were missed. Now this process without going into too much detail is VERY VERY complex and we need to know why these accounts and only these accounts were missed. As any DataBase we have many many automated procedures that run all the time, so there is really at this point no telling what on earth happened to cause these accounts to get missed. My only bet I think at solving this is to find similarities between these accounts. Obviously we have tried looking at the more common places and have since found nothing.
Issue: I want to use SQL to return all the tablenames and columnnames in our database Where these list of accounts have the same value in a column or columns of a table. I have created a query to find tablenames, columns, and so forth but dont know how to bring it all together to create one query that will give me all the results I want. I am certain that a cursor will need to be used and lots of inner joining but I am just not sure how this should be done.
Again:
Lets say I have account numbers 123456 and 654321 and I know our DataBase has 3,000 tables with a column reference to account number with a name of either AccountNumber, AccountNum, or Account. I want to search and find all tables that have a column with the name AccountNumber, AccountNum, or Account that has a value of 123456 or 654321. Then with these tables, for each table I want to take the rows Where the column whether the name be AccountNumber, AccountNum, or Account has a value of either 123456 and 654321 and then for each of those rows I want to check each column of each row to see if the columns on a row for account number 123456 is eqaul to a column on a row for account number 654321 , if so then I want it to return the column name and the tablename. This way I can see what these accounts have in common.
ADVANCED PORTION:
IF some poor soul is able to do the above then I'd also like to create a query that will return
The tablename and when it was updated. I would get the updated value by checking each column in each table and if the column has a type of "timestamp" or a default value of "GetDate()" then that column would be used as updated. In final result set that shows were all changes have happened for those account nubmers it will order by updated.
A first approach, rustic (I'm not that used to T-SQL, I did more PL/SQL), but which may help you going further, AND TESTED IN SQL SERVER 2008. Hope it works in 2005...)
So, we create two procedures, one calling the other
The provided code can only check, in one time
- for 2 differents IDs
- for all concerned fields (Account, AccountNum, AccountNumber)
The idea (checking for AccountNumber column)
Find the tables (in table INFORMATION_SCHEMA.columns, which lists your database tables) which have a column with one of the 3 names provided
For every table found :
create a dynamic query :
select count(*) from <THE_TABLE> where <Account_column_name> IN (123456 654321);
If we have 2 results (mean that our Ids are both present in table), we launch the second procedure, with parameters : #TableName = <THE_TABLE>, #FieldName = <Account_column_name>, #FirstId = 123456, #SecondId = 654321
We find the column names for <THE_TABLE> (again in INFORMATION_SCHEMA.columns).
For every column found :
create a dynamic query
select count(*) from <THE_TABLE> as T1
inner join <THE_TABLE> as T2 on T1.<COLUMN_NAME> = T2.<COLUMN_NAME>
where T1.<Account_column_name>= 123456
and T2.<Account_column_name>= 654321
if count(*) = 1, it means that the same value exists in the same column of the same table for the given ids.
In that case, we print <THE_TABLE> and <THE_COLUMN>
To launch search, in sql management studio, just make
EXEC GetSimilarValuesForFieldAndValue 123456, 654321
and in the "Messages" part, you should have a list of "results".
CREATE procedure [dbo].[GetSimilarValuesForFieldAndValue](#FirstId int, #SecondId int)
