I am trying to search through a table and if the description contains a keyword , to have the "MIMSfield" row update.
See screenshot:
Some direction would be awesome, not overly familiar with Access. Assuming this can be done with a VB module.
For example: If the description contains "Airlines" make the MIMSfield = A113
You dont need to use VBA.
In Access go to Tab Create, button Query Design, close the window with tables that appears, swich to SQL View and write SQL command like below (use your variables) and press Run(!)
UPDATE TableName SET MIMSfield = 'WhatEver' WHERE description LIKE '*KeyWord*';
You can make the query with outer parameters like this:
UPDATE TableName SET MIMSfield = [WhatEver] WHERE description LIKE '*' + [KeyWord] + '*';
You will be prompted to provide the parameters while running the query.
First of all you have to make a table of codes for MIMSField with keywords i.e. A113 for Airlines, A104 for car etc. than use VBA module.

Lets say I have a query like this:
Parameters Table_Name string, Field_Name string;
Update Table_Name Set Table_Name.[field1] = "new value", Table_Name.[field2] = "new Value" Where Table_Name.[Field_Name] = "Some value"
Basically I have the same query which I need to run against different tables which share some fields together. I want to be able to type the table name when I run the query.
I know this can be achieved with VBA, but this way would be a lot easier than VBA. Although VBA is also welcome but I would like to be able to do this in pure SQL.
How to achieve the above logic for table names AND field names?
Is this being done in MSAccess or in SQL Server? If you've got a SQL Server behind things, then you'll be looking to do some sp_executesql calls to get the job done. If you're doing this in MSAccess, you can accomplish the same by building dynamic SQL statements in VBA - either way would work if you've got Access pointing to SQL, though.
SELECT PNAME,POSITION FROM PLAYER
WHERE Pname = 'Andrew Laken';
So basically im using sql developer and im trying to get a user input box to display to enter then name of the basketball player, have done this sort of thing on MySQL and MS Access but for the life of me cant get it work in SQL Developer. Any idea how? also one thing I don't know how to do on any software that uses SQL is error handling. If data correct display successful, if not error etc. If anyone could add that into the solution for this problem that would be Very helpful :D
Bind variables are indicated by a colon as the first character, like this:
SELECT (...) -- your "SELECT" clause here
FROM (...)
WHERE Pname = :pname
Each interface (like SQL Developer) has its own method for passing in parameters. In SQL Developer in particular, if you enter this query in the Query Builder and try to execute it, a window will pop up asking you for the value you want to enter for :pname.
Error handling: There is no "developer" handling of errors in straight SQL in Oracle; if you want to handle specific (non-system) errors you will have to write your own procedures/functions/packages.
SELECT PNAME,POSITION FROM PLAYER WHERE Pname = &enter_name;
I have an Access 2007 database that will be housing tables which refer to the bill of materials for multiple products. On the main form I want a user to be able to select one of the products - OK, easy. Now, I want two queries to run once they press a button after choosing their product from a dropdown. The first query is a simple delete query to delete all information on a table. The second query is where I'm having my issue with my SQL syntax. I want the information from a static table to be appended to the table where the delete query just removed everything from.
Now, each table that houses the bill of material for each product is labeled with the product's name. So I want the dropdown (combo0) to be the reference point for the table name in the FROM clause within the SQL string. Code is as follows:
INSERT INTO tblTempSassyInfo (Concat, TableName, AddressName, PartNumber, [L/R], FeederSize, QtyPerBoard, SASSYname, RawBoard)
SELECT TableName & AddressName & PartNumber, TableName, AddressName, PartNumber, [L/R], FeederSize, QtyPerBoard, SassyName, RawBoard
FROM [FORMS]![DASHBOARD]![Combo0];
So you can see where I'm trying to reference the product name in the dropdown on the form as the table name. Please let me know if this is possible.
"... I'm trying to reference the product name in the dropdown on the form as the table name. Please let me know if this is possible."
It is not possible with Access SQL.
The db engine can only accept the actual table name --- it isn't equipped to reference a form control to find the table name nor to accept any other type of parameter to obtain the table name.
You could change the query to include your combo's value as the table name and then rewrite the SQL from the combo's after update event.
"SELECT * FROM [" & [FORMS]![DASHBOARD]![Combo0] & "]"
A similar approach could keep Access happy. But it may not be the best fit for your application.
So, the user essentially wants 2 queries to run. A DELETE * FROM Table query, and an Append query. The user wants to know what table to utilize for the Append query by using the Combobox (may just be my assumption/interpretation). That being said, why not use something along the lines of:
If IsNull(Me.[Combo0].Value) Then
MsgBox "Please select something."
Me.[Combo0].SetFocus
Cancel = True
Else
Select Case Me.Form!Combo0
Case 1
DoCmd.OpenQuery "DeleteMaterialsTableData" 'Query to delete appropriate table data dependent on Combobox selection'
DoCmd.OpenQuery "QueryNameMaterial1" 'Append records to appropriate table dependent on Combo0 selection'
Case 2
DoCmd.OpenQuery "DeleteMaterialsTableData" 'Query to delete appropriate table data dependent on Combobox selection'
DoCmd.OpenQuery "QueryNameMaterial2" 'Append records to appropriate table dependent on Combo0 selection'
This is just trying to use the users' combobox values to determine which table to run the queries against, instead of the user trying to use the Combobox's value as a table name.
You're pressing a button to do this. This implies that some VBA code is running behind the scene (the Click event of the button). In that case, the answer is a resounding Yes.
Dim strSQL as String
Dim strSQL2 as String
strSQL = "DELETE * FROM tblTempSassyInfo;"
DoCmd.RunSQL (strSQL)
strSQL2 = "INSERT INTO tblTempSassyInfo (Concat, TableName, AddressName, PartNumber, [L/R], FeederSize, QtyPerBoard, SASSYname, RawBoard)
SELECT TableName & AddressName & PartNumber, TableName, AddressName, PartNumber, [L/R], FeederSize, QtyPerBoard, SassyName, RawBoard
FROM " & [FORMS]![DASHBOARD]![Combo0].SelectedValue & ";"
DoCmd.RunSQL (strSQL2)
You may need to tweak that a bit, but it should get you pretty close.
You MAY need to use [FORMS]![DASHBOARD]![Combo0].Columns(0) or Columns(1) instead, I can't remember...
As was stated; Access (and just about any brand database) can definitely do append and delete queries.
The problem is the design. Specifically:
FROM [FORMS]![DASHBOARD]![Combo0];
From clause must be a record set (table) not a call to a control on a form.
My suggestion is to first establish a Select query that has the correct data that you want to append. Save that with a name. You need to be able to do this first.
Once that is done - then create an Append query that uses that saved Select query as its starting record set.
You then just need to trigger the Append query (the Select query will automatically run) using vba behind your button click event:
Docmd.OpenQuery "Append Query Name"
This is 100% possible in MS Access 2010 onward based on my experience. I've not used 2007, but MS says it is possible (see link below). I'm using parametrized queries in a few databases.
PARAMETERS [forms].[dash].[dt_val] DateTime;
SELECT a.F3 AS AdEnt, [forms].[dash].[dt_val] AS Expr1...
The important thing I've found is using a form the user will be interacting with and setting the Date as "DateTime" within the parameter. Here is a video from Microsoft that shows how to and says that it applies to 2007.
Use Parameters in MS Access Queries
Additionally, if you want to do a delete or append, save it as a query then place a button on the form that executes the docmd.runquery for the name of that saved delete/append query.
I got like 2000 rows of data, when I do select statement I can narrow my query but I cant change any value, as I have to change 50 columns, I dont want to use Update Command as then because values I have to update for each row is unique.
Anyone knows any easier way of selecting data using select command and then edit it.
EDIT
I just went to SQL Management studio, clicked on DB I am working on then find the table, I right clicked on it and then it says "Select top 1000 rows" so Now I can see the query and the data, I added "Where" into query and got what I wanted, but I cant modify the table rows below :S
*Edit 2 *
Or I can develop a Utility that will take Table Name , Column Name and its New value and simply updates it :)
You modify data using an UPDATE statement (with a WHERE clause) in a query window. While Management Studio has a feature called "Edit Top n Rows" that doesn't mean it's a good idea to use it - there are several behavioral bugs that are still unresolved even in the SQL Server 2012 version, and it can also place unnecessary and prohibitive locks on the underlying table.
I know it's not the answer you want to hear, but please become comfortable with proper DML commands. The documentation for UPDATE is found here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177523(v=sql.100).aspx
The long and short of it, IMHO: If you can identify the rows you want to update by using a SELECT with a WHERE clause, you can also write an UPDATE query using the same WHERE clause.
In SSMS - in the same place you saw "Select top 1000 rows", there should be another option "Open table" or "Edit top 200 Rows" (by default).
If you did that on a table, then pressed the following button:
You should then by able to paste in your select statement you've already written instead of what is there, press the execute button (Red exclamation mark button). The grid that appears is editable.
In general I'd be inclined to agree with #AaronBertrand though, it's better to learn the syntax to Update statements yourself.
If you have Microsoft Access, you can create a linked table to your sql server database and edit it by opening the table and modifying the relevant rows. You can create a query in Microsoft Access as well limiting the rows you want to return, and then you can inline edit the columns you'd like to change in the result set.
See for example here how to create a linked table to SQL Server.
I need to search through all of the stored procedures in an Oracle database using TOAD. I am looking for anywhere that the developers used MAX + 1 instead of the NEXTVAL on the sequence to get the next ID number.
I've been doing SQL Server for years and know several ways to do it there but none are helping me here.
I've tried using
SELECT * FROM user_source
WHERE UPPER(text) LIKE '%blah%'
Results are returned but only for my default schema and not for the schema I need to be searching in.
I also tried the below but it just errors
SELECT * FROM SchemaName.user_source
WHERE UPPER(text) LIKE '%blah%'
SELECT * FROM ALL_source WHERE UPPER(text) LIKE '%BLAH%'
EDIT Adding additional info:
SELECT * FROM DBA_source WHERE UPPER(text) LIKE '%BLAH%'
The difference is dba_source will have the text of all stored objects. All_source will have the text of all stored objects accessible by the user performing the query. Oracle Database Reference 11g Release 2 (11.2)
Another difference is that you may not have access to dba_source.
I allways use UPPER(text) like UPPER('%blah%')
If you use UPPER(text), the like '%lah%' will always return zero results. Use '%LAH%'.
For me, the given query didn't work. It was showing no result. I really don't know why. But "Dependancy" feature of SQLDeveloper saved my day!!!.
In SQLDeveloper, when you select the table in lefthand side "connection" view, tables details opened in the "document" view on righthand side. There are many tabs in document view like columns, data, model, constrain etc. One of the tab is "Dependancy". This tabs list all the objects like triggers, indexes, functions, procedures etc where table is refered.
For TOAD, I think, it is "Referantial" and "Used By" tabs. (Not sure about it, please refer TOAD referrance materials)
Hope this will help someone who is struggling with query like me.
