Something similar to merge in SQL Server 2005? - sql-server-2005

Using 2 tables I need to delete distinct, and insert new records.
I've table1 and table2. First 3 records are the same in both tables, but last 2 records are different. So first of all I need to delete different records and after that add new records.
I use SQL Server 2005, so MERGE function doesn't exist yet. How could I resolve this without using MERGE?
Thank you very much!
create table #Table1 (F1 char(5),F2 char(5),F3 char(5))
insert into #Table1
select 'AAA','BBB','CCC' union all
select 'AAA','BBB','CCC' union all
select 'AAA','BBB','CCC' union all
select 'AAA','BBB','DDD' union all
select 'AAA','BBB','EEE'
SELECT * FROM #Table1
create table #Table2 (F1 char(5), F2 char(5), F3 char(5))
insert into #Table2
select 'AAA','BBB','CCC' union all
select 'AAA','BBB','CCC' union all
select 'AAA','BBB','CCC' union all
select 'AAA','BBB','FFF' union all
select 'AAA','BBB','GGG'
SELECT * FROM #Table2

Update statement with Where Not Exists

I am trying to do the following:
Set the status column to 1 when the row in the first table (variable) does not exist in the second one.
I tried this:
update #table1
set status=1
where NOT EXISTS (select top 1 1 from #table2 where #table1.foo=#table2.foo)
But this doesn't even compile, not recognizing #table1 in the Where statement.
Must declare the scalar variable "#table1".
Any clue about this?
Your approach is fine. You just need table aliases because the # is used to in SQL Server to represent variables (scalars or tables) and is hence problematic for aliases:
update t1
set status = 1
from #table1 t1
where not exists (select 1 from #table2 t2 where t2.foo = t1.foo);
Note that the top 1 is unnecessary in the subquery.
You can do this kind of thing by joining the two tables with a LEFT JOIN and checking the right side for NULL:
UPDATE t1
SET t1.status=1
FROM #table1 t1
LEFT JOIN #table2 t2
ON t1.foo = t2.foo
WHERE t2.foo IS NULL
The specific error you got is because you haven't got a statement declaring #table1 as a table variable, like DECLARE #table1 TABLE (foo int) for example. If table1 is not a variable, you don't need the #.
no need any top inside scaler query
update #table1
set status=1
where NOT EXISTS (select 1 from #table2 where #table1.foo=#table2.foo)
cause exists return boolean
you could use below query
update #table1
set status=1
where #table1.foo not in ( select foo from #table2 where foo is not null)
There are multiple ways - inner query with NOT IN and NOT EXISTS and JOIN query:
update tab1 set status = 1 where name not in (select name from tab2);
update tab1 set status = 1 where not exists (select 1 from tab2 where tab1.name=tab2.name);
update tab1 set status = 1 from tab1 left outer join tab2 on tab1.name = tab2.name where tab2.name is null;
Sample schema to run above queries;
create table tab1(name varchar(30), status int);
create table tab2(name varchar(30));
insert into tab1 values('a', 5);
insert into tab1 values('b', 6);
insert into tab1 values('c', 7);
insert into tab1 values('d', 8);
insert into tab2 values('a');
insert into tab2 values('d');
You have to declare table1 and table2 variables
DECLARE #table1 YOUR_TABLE1_NAME;
DECLARE #table2 YOUR_TABLE2_NAME;
update #table1
set status=1
where NOT EXISTS (select top 1 from #table2 where #table1.foo=#table2.foo)
You should use alias name for both table.
DECLARE #TABLE_1 TABLE (DEPT_NAME VARCHAR(50),DEP_ID INT)
INSERT INTO #TABLE_1(DEPT_NAME,DEP_ID)
SELECT 'IT',1 UNION ALL
SELECT 'HR',2 UNION ALL
SELECT 'ACCOUNT',3 UNION ALL
SELECT 'ADMIN',4 UNION ALL
SELECT 'SALES',5 UNION ALL
SELECT 'CEO',7
DECLARE #TABLE_2 TABLE (E_ID INT,EMP_NAME VARCHAR(50),DEP_ID INT)
INSERT INTO #TABLE_2(E_ID,EMP_NAME,DEP_ID)
SELECT 1,'JHON',1 UNION ALL
SELECT 2,'LITA',2 UNION ALL
SELECT 3,'MATT',1 UNION ALL
SELECT 4,'JEFF',1 UNION ALL
SELECT 5,'BROCK',2 UNION ALL
SELECT 6,'BOB',5 UNION ALL
SELECT 7,'SAM',4 UNION ALL
SELECT 8,'DAVID',3 UNION ALL
SELECT 9,'JACK',1 UNION ALL
SELECT 10,'GARY',4 UNION ALL
SELECT 11,'DONALD',6
SELECT * FROM #TABLE_1 A WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT DEP_ID FROM #TABLE_2 B WHERE A.DEP_ID=B.DEP_ID )

Create table in SQL Server using union

In mysql we write query as
create table new_table as (select a.* from Table1 a union select b.* from Table2 b)
This syntax doesn't work in SQL Server - what's the way around for creating a table from union in SQL Server?
in SQL Server, you can use SELECT .. INTO
select a.*
into new_table
from Table1 a
union
select b.*
from Table2 b
The following query should do what you want:
select * into new_table
from (
select * from Table1 union select * from Table2 ) a
You need to write your query as shown below for creating table in sql server using union clause.
create table #table1 (Id int, EmpName varchar(50))
insert into #table1 values (1, 'Suraj Kumar')
create table #table2 (Id int, EmpName varchar(50))
insert into #table2 values (2, 'Davinder Kumar')
SELECT * INTO #NewTable FROM
(SELECT Id, EmpName FROM #table1
UNION
SELECT Id, EmpName FROM #table2
)a
SELECT * FROM #NewTable
Here new table of name - #NewTable has been created by union of two tables #table1 and #table2

How to add scope_identity() to UNION ALL syntax in SQL Server

I have a query for multiple inserts using UNION ALL.
How do I use SELECT scope_identity(); for each row of data inserted?
INSERT INTO MyTable (FirstCol, SecondCol)
SELECT 'First', 1
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Second', 2
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Third', 3
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Fourth', 4
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Fifth', 5
The short answer is no you can't. SCOPE_IDENTITY will give you the value of the last insert only. But you can use the OUTPUT clause from 2005 onwards. See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177564.aspx for information on how to use this clause.
You can use OUTPUT Clause to get Multiple Identity Column Value instead of scope_identity() while inserting Multiple Row.
Create Table tablename
(id int identity(1,5) Primary KEY, b int , c int)
DECLARE #tempIDs TABLE (id int)
INSERT tablename (b, c)
OUTPUT inserted.id INTO #tempIDs
SELECT 1, 1
UNION ALL
SELECT 2, 2
UNION ALL
SELECT 200, 3
UNION ALL
SELECT 3000, 4
UNION ALL
SELECT 400, 5
Select * from #tempIDs
Now your table variable #tempIDs have All Primary Key Data those are inserted using UNION ALL.

SQL intersect with other tables, how do I ignore it?

I am trying to run a query given three tables.
DECLARE #TABLE1 TABLE (ID CHAR(2))
DECLARE #TABLE2 TABLE (ID CHAR(2))
DECLARE #TABLE3 TABLE (ID CHAR(2))
INSERT INTO #TABLE1 VALUES('1')
INSERT INTO #TABLE1 VALUES('2')
INSERT INTO #TABLE2 VALUES('1')
--NOTHING in TABLE3
I Need to get only the values that are present and ignore the null table. This doesn't work since TABLE3 has no values.
SELECT ID
FROM #TABLE1
INTERSECT
SELECT ID
FROM #TABLE2
INTERSECT
SELECT ID
FROM #TABLE3
**Result should be 1**
How do I ignore the any table if it's null but keep the other values?
Why not do a union of select distincts from each table, and then group that by ID and select count(*), and select only rows with count(*) equal to the maximum value of count(*) in the result?
It's a bit of a mess of subqueries at this point unfortunately but you should get the logic :)
Intersect is not going to work for you as you can't add conditions to it.
From what I understand you want to select all records where the ID appears in at least 2 of the tables. I am assuming that the ID is unique to each table.
The following works in MS SQL Server:
DECLARE #TABLE1 TABLE (ID CHAR(2))
DECLARE #TABLE2 TABLE (ID CHAR(2))
DECLARE #TABLE3 TABLE (ID CHAR(2))
INSERT INTO #TABLE1 VALUES('1')
INSERT INTO #TABLE1 VALUES('2')
INSERT INTO #TABLE2 VALUES('1')
--NOTHING in TABLE3
;WITH AllValues AS
(
SELECT ID
FROM #TABLE1
UNION ALL
SELECT ID
FROM #TABLE2
UNION ALL
SELECT ID
FROM #TABLE3
)
SELECT ID
FROM AllValues
GROUP BY ID
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
Maybe... But the design of the system is extremely foreign; a real world example would help understand what you're trying to do.
Select count(*), ID FROM (
Select ID from #table1
UNION
Select ID from #table2
UNION
Select ID from #table3) Derived
Where RowNum =1
GROUP BY ID
ORder by count(*) DESC
Updated where clause was in wrong place

Union temporary tables to a final temporary table

I have like 10 diff temporary tables created in SQL server, what I am looking to do is union them all to a final temporary table holding them all on one table. All the tables have only one row and look pretty much exactly like the two temp tables below.
Here is what I have so far this is an example of just two of the temp tables as their all exactly like this one then #final is the table I want to union the all to:
create table #lo
(
mnbr bigint
)
insert into #login (mnbr)
select distinct (_ID)
FROM [KDB].[am_LOGS].[dbo].[_LOG]
WHERE time >= '2012-7-26 9:00:00
Select count(*) as countreject
from #lo
create table #pffblo
(
mber_br
)
insert into #pffblo (mber_br)
select distinct (mber_br)
from individ ip with (nolock)
join memb mp with (nolock)
on( ip.i_id=mp.i_id and mp.p_type=101)
where ip.times >= '2012-9-26 11:00:00.000'
select count(*) as countaccept
create table #final
(
countreject bigint
, Countacceptbigint
.....
)
insert into #final (Countreject, Countaccept....more rows here...)
select Countreject, Countaccept, ...more rows selected from temp tables.
from #final
union
(select * from #lo)
union
(select * from #pffblo)
select *
from #final
drop table #lo
drop table #pffblo
drop table #final
if this the form to union the rows form those temp tables to this final one. Then is this correct way to show all those rows that were thus unioned. When I do this union I get message number of columns in union need to match number of columns selected in union
I think you're using a union the wrong way. A union is used when you have to datasets that are the same structure and you want to put them into one dataset.
e.g.:
CREATE TABLE #Table1
(
col1 BIGINT
)
CREATE TABLE #Table2
(
col1 BIGINT
)
--populate the temporary tables
CREATE TABLE #Final
(
col1 BIGINT
)
INSERT INTO #Final (col1)
SELECT *
FROM #Table1
UNION
SELECT *
FROM #Table2
drop table #table1
drop table #table2
drop table #Final
I think what you're trying to do is get 1 data set with the count of all your tables in it. Union won't do this.
The easiest way (although not very performant) would be to do select statements like the following:
CREATE TABLE #Table1
(
col1 BIGINT
)
CREATE TABLE #Table2
(
col1 BIGINT
)
--populate the temporary tables
CREATE TABLE #Final
(
col1 BIGINT,
col2 BIGINT
)
INSERT INTO #Final (col1, col2)
select (SELECT Count(*) FROM #Table1) as a, (SELECT Count(*) FROM #Table2) as b
select * From #Final
drop table #table1
drop table #table2
drop table #Final
It appears that you want to take the values from each of temp tables and then place then into a single row of data. This is basically a PIVOT, you can use something like this:
create table #final
(
countreject bigint
, Countaccept bigint
.....
)
insert into #final (Countreject, Countaccept....more rows here...)
select
from
(
select count(*) value, 'Countreject' col -- your UNION ALL's here
from #lo
union all
select count(*) value, 'countaccept' col
from #pffblo
) x
pivot
(
max(value)
for col in ([Countreject], [countaccept])
) p
Explanation:
You will create a subquery similar to this that will contain the COUNT for each of your individual temp table. There are two columns in the subquery, one column contains the count(*) from the table and the other column is the name of the alias:
select count(*) value, 'Countreject' col
from #lo
union all
select count(*) value, 'countaccept' col
from #pffblo
You then PIVOT these values to insert into your final temp table.
If you do not want to use PIVOT, then you can use a CASE statement with an aggregate function:
insert into #final (Countreject, Countaccept....more rows here...)
select max(case when col = 'Countreject' then value end) Countreject,
max(case when col = 'countaccept' then value end) countaccept
from
(
select count(*) value, 'Countreject' col -- your UNION ALL's here
from #lo
union all
select count(*) value, 'countaccept' col
from #pffblo
) x
Or you might be able to JOIN all of the temp tables similar to this, where you create a row_number() for the one record in the table and then you join the tables with the row_number():
insert into #final (Countreject, Countaccept....more rows here...)
select isnull(lo.Countreject, 0) Countreject,
isnull(pffblo.Countaccept, 0) Countaccept
from
(
select count(*) Countreject,
row_number() over(order by (SELECT 0)) rn
from #lo
) lo
left join
(
select count(*) Countaccept,
row_number() over(order by (SELECT 0)) rn
from #pffblo
) pffblo
on lo.rn = pffblo.rn
SELECT *
INTO #1
FROM TABLE2
UNION
SELECT *
FROM TABLE3
UNION
SELECT *
FROM TABLE4
If you would like to get count for each temporary table in the resulting table, you will need just to calculate it for each column in subquery:
INSERT INTO result (col1, col2,...
SELECT
(SELECT COUNT() FROM tbl1) col1
,(SELECT COUNT() FROM tbl2) col2
..
