I have set of queries which are getting repeated in update query for db2
I need to get rid of these getting repeated
So what best I can do. Cte is not working in update query in db2.
Not able to find solution. For select query cte is working but not for update
You may use so called "SELECT from data-change-table-reference" Db2 functionality using CTE.
CREATE TABLE MYTAB (ID INT, DATA INT);
INSERT INTO MYTAB (ID, DATA) VALUES (1, NULL);
WITH
UPD (ID, DATA) AS (VALUES (1, 1), (2, 2))
SELECT COUNT (1)
FROM NEW TABLE
(
UPDATE MYTAB T
SET DATA = U.DATA
FROM UPD U
WHERE T.ID = U.ID
);
SELECT * FROM MYTAB;
ID
DATA

I am inserting data into a table and want to return the inserted data. The inserted data contains foreign keys. I would like to get the whole data with the joins of the foreign keys.
I have tried putting a SELECT in RETURNING without luck. Is this even possible or do I just have to do another query after inserting the data?
Insert statement:
INSERT INTO someTable (col1, col2, col3, foreign_id)
VALUES ('value1', 'value2', 'value3', 1);
So in this case, could I have a RETURNING that basically would give me:
SELECT someTable.*, foreignTable.*
FROM someTable
JOIN foreignTable ON someTable.foreign_id = foreignTable.id;

You can use a CTE for this:
WITH inserting AS (
INSERT INTO...
RETURNING <new data>
)
SELECT i.*, ft.*
FROM inserting i JOIN foreign_table ft ...
In this case the INSERT statement will be executed. The SELECT statement will be executed after that. This can reference the inserted data.
You can use a CTE for that:
with new_row as (
INSERT INTO some_table (col1, col2, col3, foreign_id)
VALUES ('value1', 'value2', 'value3', 1)
returning *
)
SELECT new_row.*, ft.*
FROM new_row
JOIN foreign_table ft ON new_row.foreign_id = ft.id;
I trying to perform something like
CREATE TEMP TABLE tblname AS (
INSERT INTO tbl2 FROM SELECT(1,1) RETURNING a,b
);
but i've got ERROR: syntax error at or near "INSERT";
Is it possible to combine CREATE TABLE AS SELECT and INSERT FROM SELECT RETURNING clauses?
create temp table tblname as
with i as (
insert into tbl2 (a, b)
select 1, 1
returning a,b
)
select a, b
from i
I am going to use MERGE to insert or update a table depending upon ehether it's exist or not. This is my query,
declare #t table
(
id int,
name varchar(10)
)
insert into #t values(1,'a')
MERGE INTO #t t1
USING (SELECT id FROM #t WHERE ID = 2) t2 ON (t1.id = t2.id)
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE SET name = 'd', id = 3
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
INSERT (id, name)
VALUES (2, 'b');
select * from #t;
The result is,
id name
1 a
I think it should be,
id name
1 a
2 b
You have your USING part slightly messed up, that's where to put what you want to match against (although in this case you're only using id)
declare #t table
(
id int,
name varchar(10)
)
insert into #t values(1,'a')
MERGE INTO #t t1
USING (SELECT 2, 'b') AS t2 (id, name) ON (t1.id = t2.id)
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE SET name = 'd', id = 3
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
INSERT (id, name)
VALUES (2, 'b');
select * from #t;
As Mikhail pointed out, your query in the USING clause doesn't contain any rows.
If you want to do an upsert, put the new data into the USING clause:
MERGE INTO #t t1
USING (SELECT 2 as id, 'b' as name) t2 ON (t1.id = t2.id) --This no longer has an artificial dependency on #t
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE SET name = t2.name
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
INSERT (id, name)
VALUES (t2.id, t2.name);
This query won't return anything:
SELECT id FROM #t WHERE ID = 2
Because where is no rows in table with ID = 2, so there is nothing to merge into table.
Besides, in MATCHED clause you are updating a field ID on which you are joining table, i think, it's forbidden.
For each DML operations you have to commit (Marks the end of a successful the transaction)Then only you will be able to see the latest data
For example :
GO
BEGIN TRANSACTION;
GO
DELETE FROM HumanResources.JobCandidate
WHERE JobCandidateID = 13;
GO
COMMIT TRANSACTION;
GO
I want to select from an enumaration that is not in database.
E.g. SELECT id FROM my_table returns values like 1, 2, 3
I want to display 1 -> 'chocolate', 2 -> 'coconut', 3 -> 'pizza' etc. SELECT CASE works but is too complicated and hard to overview for many values. I think of something like
SELECT id, array['chocolate','coconut','pizza'][id] FROM my_table
But I couldn't succeed with arrays. Is there an easy solution? So this is a simple query, not a plpgsql script or something like that.
with food (fid, name) as (
values
(1, 'chocolate'),
(2, 'coconut'),
(3, 'pizza')
)
select t.id, f.name
from my_table t
join food f on f.fid = t.id;
or without a CTE (but using the same idea):
select t.id, f.name
from my_table t
join (
values
(1, 'chocolate'),
(2, 'coconut'),
(3, 'pizza')
) f (fid, name) on f.fid = t.id;
This is the correct syntax:
SELECT id, (array['chocolate','coconut','pizza'])[id] FROM my_table
But you should create a referenced table with those values.
What about creating another table that enumerate all cases, and do join ?
CREATE TABLE table_case
(
case_id bigserial NOT NULL,
case_name character varying,
CONSTRAINT table_case_pkey PRIMARY KEY (case_id)
)
WITH (
OIDS=FALSE
);
and when you select from your table:
SELECT id, case_name FROM my_table
inner join table_case on case_id=my_table_id;
I know the title may seem strange but this is what I want to do:
I have table with many records.
I want to get some of this records and insert them in other table. Something like this:
INSERT INTO TableNew SELECT * FROM TableOld WHERE ...
The tricky part is that I want this rows that I have inserted to be deleted form the origin table as well.
Is there a easy way to do this, because the only think that I have managed to do is to use a temporary table for saving the selected records and then to put them in the second table and delete rows that match with them from the first table. It is a solution, but with so many records (over 3 millions and half) I am looking for some other idea...
In 2005+ use OUTPUT clause like this:
DELETE FROM TableOld
OUTPUT DELETED.* INTO TableNew
WHERE YourCondition
It will be performed in single transaction and either completed or roll back simultaneously
You can use the insert ... output clause to store the ID's of the copied rows in a temporary table. Then you can delete the rows from the original table based on the temporary table.
declare #Table1 table (id int, name varchar(50))
declare #Table2 table (id int, name varchar(50))
insert #Table1 (id,name)
select 1, 'Mitt'
union all select 2, 'Newt'
union all select 3, 'Rick'
union all select 4, 'Ron'
declare #copied table (id int)
insert #Table2
(id, name)
output inserted.id
into #copied
select id
, name
from #Table1
where name <> 'Mitt'
delete #Table1
where id in
(
select id
from #copied
)
select *
from #Table1
Working example at Data Explorer.
You should do some thing like this:
INSERT INTO "table1" ("column1", "column2", ...)
SELECT "column3", "column4", ...
FROM "table2"
WHERE ...
DELETE FROM "table1"
WHERE ...
