I'm trying to figure out how select info from Table A and then inserting that information into Table B with the ExecuteSQL script. I see how it works by hand, but I cannot seem to make that step where I can use the result of a search to then enter a new record into another table.
I have found success using SQL insert and FileMaker using a third-party plugin from Dracoventions called SQL Runner. You can find it here: http://www.dracoventions.com/products/2empowerFM/family/sql.php
If you need a code snippet then I can provide that as well.

Execute SQL is not meant to be used this way. You use Execute SQL to work with ODBC data sources to insert, delete, or update data; to select data and import into FileMaker you use the Import step with the same ODBC source.
FileMaker 12 has a new SQL function that can be used for FileMaker own tables, but it can only be used to select data, not to modify them. There are also plug-ins that let you use SQL with FileMaker tables.
In FileMaker you normally don't use SQL, but write a script. FileMaker scripts are pretty much like macros and work the same way the user would work. In your case the script would go to a layout, select the records (perform find), go to another layout, and import records from the table associated with the first layout.

I have tables in Azure Databricks that I am using SQL to interact with via a notebook. I need to select all columns from a table with 200 columns, I need to select all of them but I need to modify some for a select insert (To modify specific columns for a PK). Therefore I can not use a select *. (There are multiple scenarios this is just my current objective)
How can I generate a select statement on a table with all the column names in a sql statement. This would be equivalent of a 'Select top N' in SSMS where it generates a select for the table I can than edit.
I have seen functions like describe and show but they can't build a select statement.
I am new to Databricks. Any help is appreciated.
I have the same problem. It is really tough to make and modify SELECT statement for this kind of tables. I have tried many ways and found using the 3rd party software to connect to the table on Azure Databricks worked fine.
Here is what I do:
Download the 3rd party software such as DBeaver
Download Databricks JDBC driver form this page.
Configure Databricks driver. Luckily there is an official doc for DBeaver.
Connect to the Databricks and find the table to generate SELECT statement.
Use DBeaver built-in function to generate it. See the screenshot below.
That's it!
I found this setup took just 10-15 minutes to complete saving much time.
I have a stored procedure function as well as table in the SQL Server enterprise 2014. I also have data in the table. Now I need same table and data in PostgreSql(pgAdmin4).
Can anyone suggest to me the idea to migrate data to POSTGRESQL or any idea on creating the SQL script so that I can use psql to run the script?
Depending on how much data you have, you could script out the table and data. Then you could tweak the script as needed for PostgreSQL:
Right click on the SQL database > Tasks > Generate Scripts
On the "Choose Objects" screen, select your specific table then select "Next>"
On the "Set Scripting Options" screen, select "Advanced"
Find the option called "Types of data to script", then select "Schema and data" and select "OK"
Set the filename and continue through the dialog until the file is generated
Tweak the sql script for any specific PostgreSQL syntax
If there is a larger amount of data, you might look into some type of data transfer tool like SSIS.
Exporting the table structure and data as Josh Jay describes will likely require some fixes where the syntax doesn't match, but it should be doable if not tedious. Luckily there are existing conversion tools available to help.
You could also try using a foreign data wrapper to map the tables in SQL Server to a running instance of PostgreSQL. Then it's just a matter of copying tables. Depends on your needs and where each database server is located relative to one another.
The stored procedures will be far more difficult to handle unfortunately. While Oracle's pl/sql language is substantially similar to PostgreSQL's pl/pgsql, MS SQL Server/Sybase's TransactSQL dialect on the other hand is different enough to require rewrites. If the TransactSQL functions also access .Net objects, the migration task may end up far more difficult as you reimplement dependencies or find logical equivalents.
I wanted to know if there is a SQL command which can disable/hide headers (field names) from SELECT query. Right now each time I run my query and generate .csv it shows field names in the very first row. I am on a platform where I do no have direct access to database.
This is not a SQL feature, but a feature of the environment where you run the SQL and then export it to CSV. Some environments offer this feature, some do not.
Yeeeep, mySQL has a skip-column-names option that can be applied when you invoke your MySQL connection.

How can I export all of my rows in a table to sql script in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and then import them to another database?
Thanks in advance
If you moving it to another sql db you can right click the database you want and choose tasks -> generate scripts. That will launch a a wizard - follow along, choose the option to script all tables and data. Then execute that script in the new db(assuming that you've already created one with the same name)
If you can't find a data import/export tool that will work in your particular circumstances, it's possible to write plain SQL SELECT queries that will generate SQL INSERT statements. In this way it's possible to "export" all your data to a script file that can be run against the destination database. It's kind of an ugly hack, but it's simple and it works if you don't have a lot of data to move. See my answer to this question for details: Export SQL Server 2005 query result to SQL INSERT statement?
Note that this method assumes that the destination table already exists. But it's pretty straightforward to generate table creation scripts, as J Cory's answer has already shown.
There's a command line tool available to dump your data from particular tables into a SQL script that be executed against a different database:
http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2007/11/16/sql-server-2005-generate-script-with-data-from-database-database-publishing-wizard/
I don't believe SQL Management Studio Express supports data scripting (as your screenshot on J Cory's answer shows), but the full version does support that feature. In either case, the command line tool should accomplish what you need.
Is it possible to search and replace all occurrences of a string in all columns in all tables of a database? I use Microsoft SQL Server.
Not easily, though I can thing of two ways to do it:
Write a series of stored procedures that identify all varchar and text columns of all tables, and generate individual update statements for each column of each table of the form "UPDATE foo SET BAR = REPLACE(BAR,'foobar','quux')". This will probably involve a lot of queries against the system tables, with a lot of experimentation -- Microsoft doesn't go out of its way to document this stuff.
Export the entire database to a single text file, do a search/replace on that, and then re-import the entire database. Given that you're using MS SQL Server, this is actually the easier approach. Microsoft created the Microsoft SQL Server Database Publishing Wizard for other reasons, but it makes a fine tool for exporting all of the tables of a SQL Server database as a text file containing pure SQL DDL and DML. Run the tool to export all of the tables for a database, edit the resulting file as you need, and then feed the file back to sqlcmd to recreate the database.
Given a choice, I'd use the second method, as long as the DPW works with your version of SQL Server. The last time I used the tool, it met my needs (MS SQL Server 2000 / 2005) but it had some quirks when working with database Roles.
In MySQL, you can do it very easily like this:
update [table_name] set [field_name] = replace([field_name],'[string_to_find]','[string_to_replace]');
I have personally tested this successfully on a production server.
Example:
update users set vct_filesneeded = replace(vct_filesneeded,'.avi','.ai');
Ref: http://www.mediacollege.com/computer/database/mysql/find-replace.html
A good starting point for writing such a query is the "Search all columns in all the tables in a database for a specific value" stored procedure. The full code is at the link (not trivial, but copy/paste it and use it, it just works).
From there on it's relatively trivial to amend the code to do a replace of the found values.
