Check if table exists and if it doesn't exist, create it in SQL Server 2008
(8 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I have two Databases db1 and db2. In those two databases I have a table name "Asset_table" with same columns and same table structure. But In Some client's db2 does not have the "Asset_table".
First I need to check "Asset_table" is available in the client database and if it is available then insert data from db1 to that client DB table.
Here is my query.
IF EXISTS (--here I need to check if the table is available in the db2---)
BEGIN
INSERT INTO db2.Asset_table( asset_id, name,qty,description)
SELECT asset_id, name,qty,description
FROM db1.Asset_table
END
Can any one sugest me an script for this?
Is this what you need?
IF NOT EXISTS(Select 1 from db2.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA='dbo' AND TABLE_NAME='Asset_table')
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE db2.dbo.Asset_table(asset_id int, name nvarchar(50),qty int,description nvarchar(150));
END
INSERT INTO db2.dbo.Asset_table( asset_id, name,qty,description)
SELECT asset_id, name,qty,description
FROM db1.dbo.Asset_table;
I want to Insert rows of one table to another db server
You may use linked server or openrowset.
Sample openwrowset query:
insert into table2
select table1.* from openrowset('SQLNCLI', 'Server=MYINSTANCE;Trusted_Connection=yes;', 'select * from table1') as table1
I'm adding data into a table in my database from a VB application. But, I need to know, is it possible that some of the data I added can be imported to another table?
example:
table1(ID,FisrtName,LastName) data are added completely
table 2 specific (FirstName, LastName)
insert into table2 (FirstName,LastName) select FirstName,LastName from table1;
Use a Trigger AFTER INSERT on the table 1 and the thing is done automatically after inserting the data on table 1 or if the data has already been inserted then use a select insert statement like.
INSERT INTO dbo.Table2(FirstName,LastName)
SELECT T.FirstName,T.LastName FROM dbo.Table1 AS T
And that should be it.

I want a query to insert records from one table to another table in a different database if the destination table already exists, it should append the records at the end of the table.
How about this:
USE TargetDatabase
GO
INSERT INTO dbo.TargetTable(field1, field2, field3)
SELECT field1, field2, field3
FROM SourceDatabase.dbo.SourceTable
WHERE (some condition)
How to insert table values from one server/database to another database?
1 Creating Linked Servers {if needs} (SQL server 2008 R2 - 2012)

2 configure the linked server to use Credentials
a) http://technet.microsoft.com/es-es/library/ms189811(v=sql.105).aspx
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'NAMEOFLINKEDSERVER', 'false', null, 'REMOTEUSERNAME', 'REMOTEUSERPASSWORD'
-- CHECK SERVERS
SELECT * FROM sys.servers
-- TEST LINKED SERVERS
EXEC sp_testlinkedserver N'NAMEOFLINKEDSERVER'
INSERT INTO NEW LOCAL TABLE
SELECT * INTO NEWTABLE
FROM [LINKEDSERVER\INSTANCE].remoteDATABASE.remoteSCHEMA.remoteTABLE
OR
INSERT AS NEW VALUES IN REMOTE TABLE
INSERT
INTO [LINKEDSERVER\INSTANCE].remoteDATABASE.remoteSCHEMA.remoteTABLE
SELECT *
FROM localTABLE
INSERT AS NEW LOCAL TABLE VALUES
INSERT
INTO localTABLE
SELECT *
FROM [LINKEDSERVER\INSTANCE].remoteDATABASE.remoteSCHEMA.remoteTABLE
--Code for same server
USE [mydb1]
GO
INSERT INTO dbo.mytable1 (
column1
,column2
,column3
,column4
)
SELECT column1
,column2
,column3
,column4
FROM [mydb2].dbo.mytable2 --WHERE any condition
/*
steps-
1- [mydb1] means our opend connection database
2- mytable1 the table in mydb1 database where we want insert record
3- mydb2 another database.
4- mytable2 is database table where u fetch record from it.
*/
--Code for different server
USE [mydb1]
SELECT *
INTO mytable1
FROM OPENDATASOURCE (
'SQLNCLI'
,'Data Source=XXX.XX.XX.XXX;Initial Catalog=mydb2;User ID=XXX;Password=XXXX'
).[mydb2].dbo.mytable2
/* steps -
1- [mydb1] means our opend connection database
2- mytable1 means create copy table in mydb1 database where we want
insert record
3- XXX.XX.XX.XXX - another server name.
4- mydb2 another server database.
5- write User id and Password of another server credential
6- mytable2 is another server table where u fetch record from it. */
Here's a quick and easy method:
CREATE TABLE database1.employees
AS
SELECT * FROM database2.employees;
You can try
Insert into your_table_in_db1 select * from your_table_in_db2#db2SID
db2SID is the sid of other DB. It will be present in tnsnames.ora file
INSERT
INTO remotedblink.remotedatabase.remoteschema.remotetable
SELECT *
FROM mytable
There is no such thing as "the end of the table" in relational databases.
Just Do it.....
( It will create same table structure as from table as to table with same data )
create table toDatabaseName.toTableName as select * from fromDatabaseName.fromTableName;
Mostly we need this type of query in migration script
INSERT INTO db1.table1(col1,col2,col3,col4)
SELECT col5,col6,col7,col8
FROM db1.table2
In this query column count must be same in both table
If both the tables have the same schema then use this query:
insert into database_name.table_name select * from new_database_name.new_table_name where='condition'
Replace database_name with the name of your 1st database and table_name with the name of table you want to copy from
also replace new_database_name with the name of your other database where you wanna copy and new_table_name is the name of the table.
For SQL Server, you can use tool Import Data from another Database, It's easier to configuration mapping columns.
I'm looking for a solution to perform Insert, on duplicate key Update like operation in SQL Server 2005. This operation might Insert or Update large number of entries. SQL Server 2008 has a neat operation MERGE which would do it perfectly, the problem is we're stuck with SQL Server 2005.
I've looked into standard solutions, but all of them are not good, because they assume, that only one entry is updated/inserted.
Does anyone know a way to replicate MERGE behavior in older versions of SQL Server?
Alex Kuznetsov's blog contains a suggestion using the OUTPUT clause of an UPDATE statement. To paraphrase the example from that blog entry (untested):
DECLARE #updated_ids table(id int)
UPDATE table
SET ...
OUTPUT inserted.id INTO #updated_ids
FROM table INNER JOIN data-to-insert ON table.id = data-to-insert.id
INSERT INTO table
SELECT ...
FROM data-to-insert
WHERE id NOT IN (SELECT id FROM #updated_ids)
