Update whole column in postgres sql - postgresql

I need to update whole column selecting from another column
I tried this
update turnoverrate_tm.dm_turnover_tmp_sales
set t.dmitm=w.dmitm
from turnoverrate_tm.w2nx3l04i as w
inner join turnoverrate_tm.dm_turnover_tmp_sales as t
on w.dmitm=t.sditm;`
`
and got this error
ERROR: column "t" of relation "dm_turnover_tmp_sales" does not exist
LINE 2: set t.dmitm=w.dmitm
Help me in updating this column

This is how you update from another column
update turnoverrate_tm.dm_turnover_tmp_sales as t
set dmitm= w.dmitm
from turnoverrate_tm.w2nx3l04i as w
where t.sditm=w.dmitm

UPSERT from table with different table sizes

I'm getting the error:
ERROR: column "some_col_name" does not exist Hint: There is a column named "some_col_name" in table "usert_test", but it cannot be referenced from this part of the query.
On UPSERT The cause of this error is that the source table (read in from API) doesn't always have the same number of fields as the table I'm looking to UPSERT. Within the UPSERT process is there a way to handle this? So far I've tried the below:
INSERT INTO scratch."usert_test" (many_cols)
SELECT *
FROM scratch.daily_scraper
ON CONFLICT (same_unique_id)
DO UPDATE
SET
many_fields = excluded.many_fields;
Name each column specifically in every instance.
insert into scratch."usert_test" (column_name1, column_name2, column_name3,column_name3)
select cola, colb, colc, colf
from scratch.daily_scraper
on conflict (column_name1, column_name4)
do update
set
column_name3 = excluded.column_name3
, column_name2 = excluded.column_name2;
How ever many columns you have properly name every one. (IMHO) As you should always do.

Can any find the solution for this Error in IBM DB2?

%sql select Name_of_School, Safety_Score from SCHOOLS where \
Safety_Score= (select MAX(Safety_Score) from SCHOOLS)
i am trying to execute this query i got the message.

This error can occur in the following cases:
For an INSERT or UPDATE statement, the specified column is not a column of the table, or view that was specified as the object of the insert or update.
For a SELECT or DELETE statement, the specified column is not a column of any of the tables or views identified in a FROM clause in the statement.
among other cases.
I.e. Column SAFETY_SCORE does not exist in your table. Maybe the column is "Safety_Score" or "Safety Score" or some other name.
If the column name is not in UPPER CASE in your table, you will need to surround it in double quotes.
I could fix by using the %%sql structure and the double quotes :
%%sql
select MAX("Safety Score") AS MAX_SAFETY_SCORE from Chicago_SCHOOLS;

I am not able to create view in PostgreSQL

I am trying to create a view in Postgres. I am using Dbeaver to do so.
my query is as follows:
CREATE VIEW customer_master as
(
select *
from survey_info
full join survey_responses on survey_info.submissionid =survey_responses.submissionid
);
It's throwing an error :
CREATE VIEW customer_master as
SQL Error [42701]: ERROR: column "submissionid" specified more than once.
Anyone faced such an issue?
If you have common columns between joined table, it is required to specify all the columns required using proper aliases.
CREATE VIEW customer_master as
select info.submissionid as submissionid_1,
resp.submissionid as submissionid_2, --Keep one or use
--coalesce if one is null
--i.e coalesce(info.submissionid,resp.submissionid)
info.col2,
info.col3,
resp.col2,
resp.col3
--other columns with aliases
from survey_info info
full join survey_responses resp
on info.submissionid =resp.submissionid

Inserting regular expression in PostgreSQL table

I would like to know how I can insert regular expression in a table column in a PostgreSQl table.
For example I have column called "rule" in a table where I need to store the expression ^[0-9]+$. I tried:
insert into rule_master(rule)
values('^[0-9]+$') where rule_id='7'
But I am getting error syntax near where is wrong. I tried this with and with out single quotes. Please suggest me a solution.
It appears you want to UPDATE an existing record. In that case you should do:
UPDATE rule_master
SET rule = '^[0-9]+$'
WHERE rule_id = '7';
But if this is indeed a new record and you want to INSERT that regex with the value of "rule_id" then do:
INSERT INTO rule_master(rule_id, rule)
VALUES ('7', '^[0-9]+$');

IDENTITY_INSERT ON not working - SQL Server 2008 R2

I am having problems with my query.
Basically, what I am trying to do is empty out a table and copy the records from the same table in another database.
I did use the SET IDENTITY_INSERT code to make sure that the identity column is turned off before I perform my insert. But somehow, it still throws me the error message:
Msg 8101, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
An explicit value for the identity column in table 'dbo.UI_PAGE' can only be specified when a column list is used and IDENTITY_INSERT is ON.
Below is my query:
DELETE FROM [DB1].[dbo].[MY_TABLE]
SET IDENTITY_INSERT [DB1].[dbo].[MY_TABLE] ON
INSERT INTO [DB1].[dbo].[MY_TABLE]
SELECT *
FROM [DB2].[dbo].[MY_TABLE]
SET IDENTITY_INSERT [DB1].[dbo].[MY_TABLE] OFF
Can someone point me as to which step I am doing wrong?
Thanks a lot!
You have to specify all the column names when inserting with IDENTITY INSERT ON when using INSERT INTO
INSERT INTO [DB1].[dbo].[MY_TABLE](TabelID,Field1,Field2,Field3...)
SELECT * FROM [DB2].[dbo].[MY_TABLE]
In case you did not know there is a nifty little trick in ssms. If select a table and expand its' nodes you ctrl-c copy on the Columns node and that will place a comma-delimited list of the field names on your clipboards text buffer.
Addition to the first answer given by Ross Bush,
If your table has many columns then to get those columns name by using this command.
SELECT column_name + ','
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE table_name = 'TableName'
for xml path('')
(after removing the last comma(',')) Just copy past columns name.
