Is it possible to do something like having an IF statement within an INSERT like so;
INSERT INTO #TABLE (ID, NAME, ADDRESS)
VALUES(
IF CONDITION (SELECT DATA)
ELSE (SELECT DATA)
)
Sort of...
INSERT INTO #TABLE (ID, NAME, ADDRESS)
SELECT
CASE condition WHEN result then id else id2 end,
CASE condition WHEN result then name else name2 end,
...
or with a UNION
INSERT INTO #TABLE (ID, NAME, ADDRESS)
SELECT data FROM source WHERE condition
UNION
SELECT data FROM othersource WHERE NOT(condition)

I currently have a query that looks like this:
Select val1, val2, val3, val4 from Table_A where someID = 10
UNION
Select oth1, val2, val3, oth4 from Table_B where someId = 10
I initially run this same query above but with EXCEPT, to identify which ID's are returned with differences, and then I do a UNION query to find which columns specifically are different.
My goal is to compare the values between the two tables (some columns have different names). And that's what I'm doing.
However, the two queries above have about 250 different field names, so it is quite mundane to scroll through to find the differences.
Is there a better and quicker way to identify which column names are different after running the two queries?
EDIT: Here's my current process:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS #Table_1
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS #Table_2
SELECT 'Dave' AS Name, 'Smih' AS LName, 18 AS Age, 'Alabama' AS State
INTO #Table_1
SELECT 'Dave' AS Name, 'Smith' AS LName, 19 AS Age, 'Alabama' AS State
INTO #Table_2
--FInd differences
SELECT Name, LName,Age,State FROM #Table_1
EXCEPT
SELECT Name, LName,Age,State FROM #Table_2
--How I compare differences
SELECT Name, LName,Age,State FROM #Table_1
UNION
SELECT Name, LName,Age,State FROM #Table_2
Is there any way to streamline this so I can get a column list of differences?
Here is a generic way to handle two tables differences.
We just need to know their primary key column.
It is based on JSON, and will work starting from SQL Server 2016 onwards.
SQL

DECLARE #TableB table (rowid int Identity(1,1), FirstName varchar(100), LastName varchar(100), Phone varchar(100));
INSERT INTO #TableA(FirstName, LastName, Phone) VALUES

My script is as below
CREATE TABLE #t (Id int, Name varchar(10))
INSERT INTO #t VALUES (1, 'A')
INSERT INTO #t VALUES (1, 'B')
INSERT INTO #t VALUES (1, 'C')
INSERT INTO #t VALUES (1, 'D')
INSERT INTO #t VALUES (2, 'E')
SELECT COUNT(0)FROM (SELECT COUNT(0) FROM #t GROUP BY Id) a
but I am getting an error
Msg 8155, Level 16, State 2, Line 5
No column name was specified for column 1 of 'A'.
When you use a subquery, all the columns need to given names:
SELECT COUNT(0)
FROM (SELECT COUNT(0) as cnt FROM #t GROUP BY Id
) a;
However, a simpler way to write this is:
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT id)
FROM #t;
Actually, this isn't exactly the same. Your version will count NULL values but this does not. The exact equivalent is:
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT id) + MAX(CASE WHEN id IS NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
FROM #t;
I have a sql table that has two columns id and name. I have list of names about 20 and I need to write a query that checks if name exists before insert.
Is there a better way of doing this rather then just having the below query 20 times but with different names (I need do this in t-sql):
IF NOT EXISTS(SELECT*
FROM mytable
WHERE name = 'Dan')
BEGIN
INSERT INTO mytable
(name)
VALUES ('dan')
END
INSERT INTO MyTable (Name)
SELECT NewNames.Name
FROM ( VALUES ('Name1'), ('Name2'), ('Name3') ) AS NewNames (Name)
WHERE NOT EXISTS ( SELECT 1
FROM MyTable AS MT
WHERE MT.Name = NewNames.Name );
I think you could use a merge statement:
MERGE INTO myTable AS Target
USING (VALUES ('name1'),('name2'),('...')) AS source (NAME)
ON Target.NAME = Source.NAME
WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET THEN
INSERT (NAME) VALUES (name)
You can filter values with NOT EXISTS
INSERT INTO myTable (
Name
)
SELECT DISTINCT
Name
FROM (
VALUES ('Name 1'),
('Name 2')
) AS NewNames(Name)
WHERE
NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM TargetTable WHERE myTable.Name = NewNames.Name)
If your new names are in another table, you can change the select query in the above one.
Please note, that the DISTINCT keyword is necessary to filter out the duplications in the source data.
I would do this using insert:
with names as (
select 'Dan' as name union all
select 'name2' union all
. . .
)
insert into myTable(name)
select distinct name
from myTable
where not exists (select 1 from mytable t2 where t2.name = t.name);
Note: you may want to create a unique index on mytable(name) so the database does the checking for duplicates.
untested so there might be some minor errors:
merge into mytable x
using (
values ('name1')
, ('name2')
, ...
, ('namen')
) as y (name)
on x.name = y.name
when not matched then
insert (name)
values (y.name)
INSERT INTO MyTable (Name)
SELECT Name FROM
(
VALUES ('Name 1'),
('Name 2')
) AS Names(Name)
WHERE Name NOT IN
(
SELECT Name FROM MyTable
)
INSERT IGNORE INTO myTable (column1, column2) VALUES (val1, val2),(val3,val4),(val5,val6);
INSERT IGNORE will allow skip on duplicate values
Create table #Tbl
(
ID int not null,
Keyword nvarchar(max)
)
Insert into #Tbl Values ('0','Cryptography')
Insert into #Tbl Values ('1','Cryptography')
Insert into #Tbl Values ('4','Cryptography')
Insert into #Tbl Values ('0','SQL')
Insert into #Tbl Values ('0','SQL')
Insert into #Tbl Values ('3','Cloud Computing')
Insert into #Tbl Values ('6','Recursion')
Insert into #Tbl Values ('8','Recursion')
Insert into #Tbl Values ('0','Universe')
Insert into #Tbl Values ('0','Universe')
Insert into #Tbl Values ('7','Universe')
I need to get the titles which has more than one ID and at least one of the ID is zero.
So the expected result will be:
Cryptography
Universe
I tried below query but not able to add "at least one id is zero" condition
select Keyword,COUNT(distinct id) from #Tbl
group by Keyword
having COUNT(distinct id)>1
How can I proceed here ? Thanks for your help.
Assuming your IDs start from 0, the below should work
select Keyword,COUNT(distinct id) from #Tbl
group by Keyword
having COUNT(distinct id)>1 and MIN(id) = 0
There are many ways to do this, one example:
SELECT DISTINCT Keyword
FROM #Tbl T
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM #Tbl WHERE Keyword = T.Keyword
AND ID = 0)
AND EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM #Tbl WHERE Keyword = T.Keyword
AND ID != 0)
Here is a sqlfiddle with a demo.
This should do it:
SELECT Keyword
FROM #Tbl
WHERE Keyword IN (SELECT DISTINCT Keyword FROM #Tbl WHERE ID = 0)
GROUP BY Keyword
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT id) > 1
Here's yet another approach:
SELECT Keyword, COUNT(DISTINCT ID)
FROM #Tbl
GROUP BY Keyword
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT ID) > ALL (SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT NULLIF(ID, 0)) UNION ALL SELECT 1)
;
I'm new to sql and trying to find out if there is a way to say something like this in isqlplus? I'm trying to insert a row with values if a certain value exists on another table.
IF EXISTS (SELECT ID FROM SOMETABLE WHERE ID = 1)
BEGIN
INSERT INTO ANOTHERTABLE (NBR, FNAME, LNAME) VALUES ( 2, 'John', 'Smith');
END
Any help appreciated.
You can add WHERE EXISTS in your query
INSERT INTO ANOTHERTABLE (NBR, FNAME, LNAME)
SELECT 2, 'John', 'Smith'
FROM DUAL
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT ID FROM SOMETABLE WHERE ID = 1)
