How to Updating Rows Based on Multiple Tables in SQL Server Compact Edition ?
I have two tables in a database. ActivatedProducts and DocumentSettings.I added new column (UID) in DocumentSettings table,i want to put that UID data from ActivatedProducts (ID) Table with respect to ProductID from ActivatedProducts table
following query's also not working please help me
UPDATE DocumentSettings
SET UID =
(
SELECT ActivatedProducts.ID
FROM ActivatedProducts
WHERE DocumentSettings.TitleID = ActivatedProducts.ProductID
)
UPDATE A
SET A.UID = B.ID
FROM DocumentSettings A, ActivatedProducts B
WHERE A.TitleID = B.ProductID
UPDATE DocumentSettings
SET [UID]=AP.[ID]
FROM DocumentSettings DS
INNER JOIN ActivatedProducts AP ON DS.[Titleid]=AP.[ProductID]
The last time I checked, SQL Server CE still does not support UPDATE-FROM-JOIN syntax. All 3 you have shown will work in Sql Server proper, but in CE, you will need to programmatic-ally retrieve each value for updating in a loop.
Reference: UPDATE (SQL Server Compact - 2008)
You can do it as per below
UPDATE [table one]
SET [table one].result = [table two] .results
FROM [table one] T1
INNER JOIN [table three] t3
on t1.reg_id = t3.reg_id
INNER JOIN [table two] T2
on t2.venue = t3.venue

I am trying to recreate a query that was done in MS Access, and now is being handled in a SQL Server environment. I understand that some of the SQL syntax is different in Access than it is in SQL Server. Is there somewhere online that points out the main differences, or will help translate one to the other?
This is a query that I need to update to use in SQL Server:
UPDATE
dbo.TPR00100
INNER JOIN (
dbo.UPR10302
LEFT JOIN dbo.B3980280 ON dbo.TPR10302.COMPTRNM = dbo.B3980280.COMPTRNM
) ON dbo.TPR00100.STAFFID = dbo.TPR10302.STAFFID
SET
dbo.B3980280.COMPTRNM = dbo.TPR10302.comptrnm,
dbo.B3980280.BI_LOC_ID = dbo.TPR00100.locatnid
WHERE
(((dbo.B3980280.COMPTRNM) Is Null))
What are they key aspects that need to be handled differently in a SQL Server transaction for this query?
If find it handy to use an updateable CTE for this:
with cte as (
select
b39.comptrnm b39_comptrnm
b39.bssi_loc_id b39_bssi_loc_id,
tpr.comptrnm tpr_comptrnm,
tpr.locatnid tpr_locatnid
from dbo.tpr00100 tpr
inner join dbo.upr10302 upr on tpr.staffid = upr.staffid
inner join dbo.b3980280 b39 on tpr.comptrnm = b39.comptrnm
where b39_comptrnm is null
)
update cte
set b39_comptrnm = tpr_comptrnm, b39_bssi_loc_id = tpr_locatnid
Note: I am not really sure why the table to update is left joined in the original query, so I turned it to an `inner join .
I am a complete beginner to SQL Server, and I have reached my limit.
Currently I am using a script to update a table from another table using a column. Since both databases are assigned to 2 different 3rd party software, I created a .bat script to use for task manager in windows server, that way it can update every 10 minutes.
While this is tested and works, I feel there has to be a way to create a relationship between the two databases without having to use the task.
UPDATE therefore.dbo.thecat51
SET num_factura =
(SELECT therefore.dbo.documentos.num_factura
FROM therefore.dbo.Documentos
WHERE therefore.dbo.thecat51.num_albaran=therefore.dbo.documentos.num_albaran)
WHERE therefore.dbo.thecat51.num_albaran =
( SELECT therefore.dbo.documentos.num_albaran
FROM therefore.dbo.Documentos
WHERE therefore.dbo.thecat51.num_Albaran = therefore.dbo.documentos.num_albaran)
Also, we are using SQL Server Express, so I don't have the option to create a scheduled job.
You can do the UPDATE with an INNER JOIN to perform the update you need:
UPDATE A SET
num_factura = B.num_factura
FROM therefore.dbo.thecat51 A
INNER JOIN therefore.dbo.Documentos B
ON A.num_albaran = B.num_albaran
Use an INNER JOIN between your two tables. At the time I posted this, you had not told us which RDBMS you are using so I will give answers for SQL Server and MySQL:
SQL Server:
UPDATE t1
SET t1.num_factura = t2.num_factura
FROM therefore.dbo.thecat51 AS t1
INNER JOIN therefore.dbo.Documentos AS t2
ON t1.num_albaran = t2.num_albaran
MySQL:
UPDATE therefore.dbo.thecat51 AS t1
INNER JOIN therefore.dbo.Documentos AS t2
ON t1.num_albaran = t2.num_albaran
SET t1.num_factura = t2.num_factura
I tried using this sql to update a new column in a table from a value in table that already exists.
update "PROMOTION" t1
set "OFFER_CHAIN_ID" = poc."OFFER_CHAIN_ID"
from "PROMOTION_OFFER_CHAIN" poc
inner join "PROMOTION" on "PROMOTION"."ID" = poc."PROMOTION_ID"
What happened is that the first value of the join got replicated in all the subsequent entries. about a both tables. The original table has unique values all the values in the updated column are the same.
Eventually I used this SQL instead.
update "PROMOTION" t1
set "OFFER_CHAIN_ID" = poc."OFFER_CHAIN_ID"
from "PROMOTION_OFFER_CHAIN" poc
where
t1."ID" = poc."PROMOTION_ID"
This update works and duplicates all the data, 1000 unique elements in the original table, 1000 unique elements in the updated table.
Is this a bug, or is this the expected result?
SQL is behaving correctly. Your original query is:
update "PROMOTION" t1
--------^
set "OFFER_CHAIN_ID" = poc."OFFER_CHAIN_ID"
from "PROMOTION_OFFER_CHAIN" poc inner join
"PROMOTION"
-----------^
on "PROMOTION"."ID" = poc."PROMOTION_ID"
Note that the table PROMOTION is mentioned twice. Not good. So, the join takes place, producing lots of rows. Then there is no correlation to the t1 version of the table.
You don't mention the database you are using. In SQL Server, you would just do:
update p
set "OFFER_CHAIN_ID" = poc."OFFER_CHAIN_ID"
from "PROMOTION_OFFER_CHAIN" poc inner join
"PROMOTION" p
on p."ID" = poc."PROMOTION_ID";
Note the alias is used after the update (or table name with if there is no alias). Now the table is mentioned only once, so the update should behave as desired.
I am trying to update a table from another database using joins and having a hard time. This is what I am trying to do in pseudo:
UPDATE [Database1].[dbo].[Sessions]
SET [SpeakerID] = ?STATEMENT1?
WHERE ?STATEMENT2?
For "Statement1", this would be coming from another database and table that has columns: SessionID and SpeakerID. How can this be achieved?
UPDATE a
SET a.SpeakerID = b.colName -- SET valoue here
FROM Database1.dbo.Sessions a
INNER JOIN Database2.dbo.Sessions b
ON a.SessionID = b.SessionID -- assumes that their
-- relationship column is SessionID,
-- change it in your original columnName
WHERE ....
a and b are called alias. They are useful when you have longer source name.
UPDATE L
SET SpeakerID = R.SpeakerID
FROM dbo.LocalTable AS L
INNER JOIN RemoteDatabase.dbo.RemoteTable AS R
ON L.SomeValue = R.SomeValue;
This really is no different from this problem except you have to add a database prefix to one of the tables in the join.
try
UPDATE [Database1].[dbo].[Sessions]
SET
Sessions.col1 = other_table.col1
FROM
[Database1].[dbo].[Sessions] Sessions
INNER JOIN
[Database2].[dbo].other_table AS other_table
ON
Sessions.id = other_table.id
WHERE Sessions.id = ??
Note if the database is on another server you will need to create a linked server first

I am doing an inner join between 2 tables which was giving me an error:
Row cannot be located for updating
Query:
SELECT DISTINCT
b.Acc, b.Region, b.Off, b.Sale, a.OrgDate
FROM
sales b
INNER JOIN
dates a ON (a.Acc = b.Acc and a.Region = b.Region and a.year= b.year)
WHERE
(a.xdate <> a.yDate)
and (b.Sale = a.SaleDate)
and b.year = 2010
Note: Acc, Region, Off are primary keys of table b and are also present in table a.
Table a has an id which is the primary key which does not appear in the query.
It turned out that my inner join was returning duplicate rows.
I changed my inner join query to use 'DISTINCT' so that only distinct rows are returned and not duplicate. The query runs but then I get the error:
Insufficient key column information for updating or refreshing.
It does turn out that the fields which are primary keys in Table A have the same names as the fields in Table B
I found that this is a bug which occurs while updating ADO record-sets.
BUG: Problem Updating ADO Hierarchical Recordset When Join Tables Share Same Column Name
I have the following 2 questions:
Is it not a good idea to use Distinct on an inner join query?
Has anyone found a resolution for that bug associated with TADO Query's?
Thank you,
The way I would solve this is to construct an update query by hand and run it through TADOQuery.ExecSQL. That assumes you actually know what you are doing.
The question is WHY are you working on a recordset that results in multiples of the same row, on all fields? You should be inspecting your query and fixing it. DISTINCT doesn't help, because SQL Server has picked one record but ADO won't know which one it picked, since there isn't enough information to properly identify the source on each side of the JOIN.
This query pulls in a.id to make the source records identifiable:
SELECT Acc,Region,Off,Sale,OrgDate,id
FROM
(
SELECT b.Acc,b.Region,b.Off,b.Sale,a.OrgDate, a.id,
rn=row_number() over (partition by b.Acc,b.Region,b.Off order by a.id asc)
FROM sales b
JOIN dates a ON(a.Acc = b.Acc and a.Region = b.Region and a.year= b.year)
WHERE a.xdate <> a.yDate
and b.Sale = a.SaleDate
and b.year = 2010
) X
WHERE rn=1;
Not tested, but it should work with ADO
