Hi I have a temp table (#temptable1) and I want to add a column from another temp table (#temptable2) into that, my query is as follows:
select
Customer
,CustName
,KeyAccountGroups
,sum(Weeksales) as Weeksales
into #temptable1
group by Customer
,CustName
,KeyAccountGroups
select
SUM(QtyInvoiced) as MonthTot
,Customer
into #temptalbe2
from SalesSum
where InvoiceDate between #dtMonthStart and #dtMonthEnd
group by Customer
INSERT INTO #temptable1
SELECT MonthTot FROM #temptable2
where #temptable1.Customer = #temptable2.Customer
I get the following: Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition.
In an INSERT statement you cannot reference the table you are inserting into. An insert works under the assumption that a new row is to be created. That means there is no existing row that could be referenced.
The functionality you are looking for is provided by the UPDATE statement:
UPDATE t1
SET MonthTot = t2.MonthTot
FROM #temptable1 t1
JOIN #temptable2 t2
ON t1.Customer = t2.Customer;
Be aware however, that this logic requires the Customer column in t2 to be unique. If you have duplicate values in that table the query will seem to run fine, however you will end up with randomly changing results.
For more details on how to combine two tables in an UPDATE or DELETE check out my A Join A Day - UPDATE & DELETE post.
If I understand it correctly you want to do two things.
1: Alter table #temptable1 and add a new column.
2: Fill that column with the values of #temptable2
ALTER #temptable1 ADD COLUMN MothTot DATETIME
UPDATE #temptable1 SET MothTot = (
SELECT MonthTot
FROM #temptable2
WHERE #temptable2.Customer = #temptable1.Customer)

I have a table with duplicate records but without primary key. Data looks like this:
I want to update one empty column with one of column concatenate with row_number. After update, I want to achieve this:
Since the table does not have a unique column, which means I would join back to a CTE or subquery. I know in sql server, it can be done like this:
UPDATE X
SET X.NEW_KEY = X.PERSONNUMBER + '-' + X.NEW_CODE_DEST
FROM (
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY PERSONNUMBER) AS NEW_CODE_DEST,PERSONNUMBER,NEW_KEY
FROM EMPLOYEE
) as X;
I tried same logic in postgresql but it didn't work. It threw an error:
SQL Error [42P01]: ERROR: relation "x" does not exist
I also tried this in
UPDATE EMPLOYEE
SET NEW_KEY = X.PERSONNUMBER || '-' || X.NEW_CODE_DEST
FROM (
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY PERSONNUMBER) AS NEW_CODE_DEST,PERSONNUMBER
FROM EMPLOYEE
) as X;
The NEW_KEY is updated with duplicate value, not surprise there.
So is there a equivalent method in to achieve the same update result? Or I have my query wrong?
Really appreciate the help!
I have the following code. I try to stitch the two tables together, but restrict it to only add duplicate Opportunity_ID once, and then from the second table (OpportunitiesUpdates).
SELECT
Opportunity.Account_Name,
Opportunity.Opportunity_Name,
Opportunity.Opportunity_Owner,
Opportunity.Opportunity_ID
FROM
Opportunity
UNION DISTINCT
SELECT
OpportunityUpdates.Account_Name,
OpportunityUpdates.Opportunity_Name,
OpportunityUpdates.Opportunity_Owner,
OpportunityUpdates.Opportunity_ID
FROM
OpportunityUpdates
WHERE OpportunityUpdates.Opportunity_ID <> Opportunity.Opportunity_ID
This code consolidates all records from both tables (by Opportunity_ID) and gives priority to the OpportunityUpdates table based on Opportunity_ID.
It assumes that the same Opportunity_ID could be in either table ("duplicates"), but that within each table an Opportunity_ID is unique. It also assumes that Opportunity_ID is not nullable (never null).
SELECT DISTINCT
IF(ou.Opportunity_ID IS NOT NULL, ou.Account_Name, o.Account_Name) Account_Name,
IF(ou.Opportunity_ID IS NOT NULL, ou.Opportunity_Name, o.Opportunity_Name) Opportunity_Name,
IF(ou.Opportunity_ID IS NOT NULL, ou.Opportunity_Owner, o.Opportunity_Owner) Opportunity_Owner,
COALESCE(ou.Opportunity_ID, o.Opportunity_ID) Opportunity_ID
FROM OpportunityUpdates ou
FULL OUTER JOIN
Opportunity o
ON o.Opportunity_ID = ou.Opportunity_ID
For each row in table exam 'where exam.examRegulation isnull', I want to insert one corresponding row in table examRegulation and copy columnvalues from exam to examregulation. Apparently the following query ist too naive and must be approved:
insert into examRegulation (graduation, course, examnumber, examversion)
values (exam.graduation, exam.course, exam.examnumber, exam.examversion)
where ?? (select graduation, course, examnumber, examversion
from exam
where exam.examRegulation isnull)
Is there a way to do this in postgresql?
You may rephrase this as an INSERT INTO ... SELECT statement:
INSERT INTO examRegulation (graduation, course, examnumber, examversion)
SELECT graduation, course, examnumber, examversion
FROM exam
WHERE examRegulation IS NULL;
The VALUES clause, as the name implies, can only be used with literal values. If you need to populate an insert using query logic, then you need to use a SELECT clause.
I want to update a table with postgresql.
In fact, I have a table (TABLE_ONE) with two column (old_id and new_id). I have a second table (TABLE_TWO) with colums (id,column1,column2,...).
I want to update the column id from TABLE_TWO. The wanted behavior is that when TABLE_ONE.id = TABLE_TWO.old_id, we set id to new_id.
How can i do that?
You want an UPDATE FROM statement:
UPDATE table_one
SET table_one.id = table_two.id
FROM table_two
WHERE table_one.id = table_two.old_id;
In DB2, I need to do an insert, then, using results/data from that insert, update a related table. I need to do it on a million plus records and would prefer not to lock the entire database. So, 1) how do I 'couple' the insert and update statements? 2) how can I ensure the integrity of the transaction (without locking the whole she-bang)?
some pseudo-code should help clarify
STEP 1
insert into table1 (neededId, id) select DYNAMICVALUE, id from tableX where needed value is null
STEP 2
update table2 set neededId = (GET THE DYNAMIC VALUE JUST INSERTED) where id = (THE ID JUST INSERTED)
note: in table1, the ID col is not unique, so i can't just filter on that to find the new DYNAMICVALUE
This should be more clear (FTR, this works, but I don't like it, because I'd have to lock the tables to maintain integrity. Would be great it I could run these statements together, and allow the update to refer to the newAddressNumber value.)

The IDENTITY_VAL_LOCAL function is a non-deterministic function that returns the most recently assigned value for an identity column, where the assignment occurred as a result of a single INSERT statement using a VALUES clause
