How to execute the below piece of code correctly. Please help me.
INSERT INTO #TempTable
(PatchAppId, PatchName,HostName)
if (@Id = 0)
BEGIN
SELECT PatchAppId, PatchName,HostName FROM Vw_ProductionAutoMailData1
where Criticality=@Criticality
end
else
begin
SELECT PatchAppId, PatchName,HostName FROM Vw_ProductionAutoMailData2
where ServerTypeName=@ServerTypeName
end

Erk!
You have an insert statement
Then an if statement on a variable that is not in scope (of the question)
Try moving the insert inside the if statement, so you will need the insert twice
if
begin
insert
select
end
else
begin
insert
select
end

Hi I have legacy database that contain millions of records it has a column (DATA TYPE IS nvarchar) in database that has values in four date formats (5/29/2014) and (2014-05-15) and (16/4/2014) and (Apr 7 2014 4:42PM)
I want to convert it into (16/04/2014). When i use convert function it gives error message
Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value 'Apr 7 2014 4:42PM' to data type int. We have so many scattered format so we cannot run a single query for specific data. so kindly provide solution for this problem.
these formats i have been using this statement to convet data.
select CONVERT(varchar(10), CONVERT(date,FormReceivedDate, 101), 103) from Applicant where FormReceivedDate=1
|

|

I would suggest using the DATE data type. SQL server saves the date as 20140416. You only need to convert(date, FormReceivedDate). Formatting of the data is done for output.

You shouldn't be trying to convert the data to an int. SQL has specific data types for storing date/time data[^], which you should be using instead.
The yyyy-MM-dd and MMM d yyyy h:mmTT formats are easy to convert:
SELECT
Convert(date, '2014-05-01'),
Convert(datetime2(0), 'Apr 7 2014 4:42PM')
;
The other two formats will be impossible to convert unless your data contains another field indicating whether they're dd/MM/yyyy or MM/dd/yyyy. Without that additional field, there would be no way to know whether 01/02/2014 should be 1st February or 2nd January.
If you do have an additional field indicating the format of the date, then your options depend on the version of SQL that you're using. SQL 2012 and 2014 have the PARSE method[^]:
SELECT
PARSE('5/29/2014' As date),
PARSE('16/4/2014' As date USING 'en-GB')
;
For older versions, you would need to write your own function to parse the string.

If you convert the garbage you have to a single string format and store it as varchar you are perpetuating the same garbage as you are having to deal with now. USE THE DATETIME DATA FORMAT.
And yes I did mean to shout.
You might need to do a number of passes through the data using the suggestion from the other replies to convert the data. Records that are ambiguous may require the mark I eyeball to get the context of the date from other data in the record.
Altogether a thoroughly nasty job 100% caused by not storing the data in the correct format. I know it is a legacy app but if you can add new fields in the correct format then your life will be possible and the users cannot repeat the input of garbage.

Hello everyone,
I came across a problem when I loaded my records from SSIS to SQL DB.
My source file is a txt file.
I use 5 fields to make my records unique but unfortunately there are some records that can't be made unique.
Even the records that aren't unique must be loaded into my table although in SSIS the duplicate records are written to an error log and are excluded out of the load into the DB.
This is a small example of a few records:
record 1 and 2 are unique, 3 and 4 not.
HEADER WH DATE_CREATED TIME_CREATED PO RECEIPT ARTICLE QTY_PBS CW CODE_DATE_RECEIVED SYSTEM_FLAG QTY_PBL FLOW_RECEIVING_FLAG FLOW_DEMAND_FLAG VENDOR_ID SHIPPING_UNIT WH_FROM AANT_PALLETS SSCC_NR EMPTY_FACTURATION_FORM

In SQL I use a View to transform the data and load only the data I need from the txt file:
ALTER VIEW [dbo].[F_Received_Colli_VW]
AS
SELECT
CAST(NULL AS Numeric(8, 0)) AS DT_Start_Dates
, CAST(NULL AS NVARCHAR(6)) AS TI_Start_Times
, CAST(NULL AS Numeric(8, 0)) AS DT_Code_Dates
, NULL AS FK_Article
, NULL AS FK_FlowType
, CAST(CAST(RIGHT(dbo.AD.DATE_CREATED, 4) + SUBSTRING(dbo.AD.DATE_CREATED, 4, 2)
+ LEFT(dbo.AD.DATE_CREATED, 2) AS int) AS Numeric(8, 0)) AS CREATE_DATE
, CAST(dbo.LPAD(LEFT(dbo.AD.TIME_CREATED, 2) + SUBSTRING(dbo.AD.TIME_CREATED, 4, 2)
+ RIGHT(dbo.AD.TIME_CREATED, 2) , 6, '0') AS NVARCHAR(6)) AS CREATE_TIME
, CAST(CAST(RIGHT(dbo.AD.CODE_DATE_RECEIVED, 4) + SUBSTRING(dbo.AD.CODE_DATE_RECEIVED, 4, 2)
+ LEFT(dbo.AD.CODE_DATE_RECEIVED, 2) AS int) AS Numeric(8, 0)) AS CODE_DATE
, CAST(dbo.AD.VENDOR_ID AS nvarchar(255)) AS Vendor_ID_Cd
, CAST(CASE WHEN dbo.AD.WH IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE dbo.AD.WH END AS nvarchar(255)) AS WH_Cd
, dbo.AD.PO AS BK_PO_Cd
, dbo.AD.RECEIPT AS BK_Receipt_Cd
, CAST(dbo.Devide_Shipping_Unit(dbo.AD.SHIPPING_UNIT, dbo.AD.ARTICLE) AS Nvarchar (255)) AS BK_Shipping_Unit_Cd
, dbo.AD.SSCC_NR AS BK_License_Plate_Cd
, dbo.AD.ARTICLE AS BK_Article_Cd
, CAST(dbo.Devide_Shipping_Unit(dbo.AD.SHIPPING_UNIT, dbo.AD.ARTICLE) AS Nvarchar (255)) AS SHIPPING_UNIT
, dbo.AD.ARTICLE
, CASE DWH.dbo.D_Article.FlowType WHEN 'SAP' THEN ISNULL(CAST(dbo.AD.QTY_PBS AS int), 0)
ELSE ISNULL(CAST(dbo.AD.QTY_PBL AS int), 0) END AS M_Nr_Of_Colli
, CAST(ISNULL(dbo.AD.CW, 0) AS numeric(15,2)) / 100 AS M_Received_Weight
, 1 AS M_Nr_of_Pallets
FROM
(SELECT dbo.GETRESTARTTIMESTAMP(N'F_Received_Colli') AS restartTS) AS tmp CROSS JOIN
dbo.AD LEFT OUTER JOIN
DWH.dbo.D_Article ON (dbo.AD.ARTICLE = DWH.dbo.D_Article.BK_Article_Cd) and CAST(dbo.Devide_Shipping_Unit(dbo.AD.SHIPPING_UNIT, dbo.AD.ARTICLE) AS int) = Cast(DWH.dbo.D_Article.BK_Unit_Ship_Case_Cd AS int)
WHERE (dbo.AD.HEADER = '1010')
The fieldNames starting with BK_ are the fields I'm using to make a record unique. So I have 5 BK fields to make a record unique in the View:
1) BK_PO_Cd
2) BK_Receipt_Cd
3) BK_License_Plate_Cd
4) BK_Article_Cd
5) BK_Shipping_Unit_Cd
I think I can solve this by sorting on the BK's and then checking if the record exists.
If the record exists then the amount of field "QTY_PBS" should be added to the first record.
In case of my example it would be 1 record with an amount of 20 instead of 2 records with amount 4 and 16.
I tried to create a SP to resolve this issue but I'm failing misserably (lack of knowledge).
Can somebody please help me with this???
USE [DWH]

SET ANSI_NULLS ON

Set @Article = '0006681'
Set @PO = '0861819693'
Set @Receipt = '71663'
Set @M_Nr_Of_Colli = 16
IF EXISTS (SELECT [M_Nr_of_Colli] FROM F_Received_Colli_VW
WHERE [BK_License_Plate_Cd]=@License_Plate AND BK_Article_Cd = @Article)
BEGIN
INSERT INTO F_Received_Colli_VW VALUES(@License_Plate,@Article,@PO, @Receipt, @M_Nr_Of_Colli)
PRINT 'New Record Insert Successfuly'
END
ELSE
BEGIN
PRINT 'Id All Ready Exist'
END

Yes, simply read it row by row and stuff the contents in a column. That'd be assuming that a "row" could fit in a single "column".
Can you show an example row?

I have datatable that have one column in that 112 rows and i want to convert like that
col1 20 rows (1 to 20)
col2 20 rows (21 to 40)
col3 20 rows (41 to 60)
col4 20 rows (61 to 80)
col5 20 rows (81 to 100)
col6 20 rows (100 to 112)
|
|
|
|
|
Then you'd have to add some columns to the datatable, and loop the records.

What about it isn't working? Is there an error message? What database system?
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Your OPENXML query doesn't work because the node value contains white-space, which is not getting trimmed. Since you're only taking the first 5 characters, you'll get a string containing nothing by white-space.
Your .nodes() query doesn't work because you're getting the PolicyType nodes, and then trying to find the third PolicyType node within that node.
Try this:
DECLARE @xmlPolicyType XML
SET @xmlPolicyType= REPLACE('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<NewDataSet>
<PolicyType>
MED
</PolicyType>
<PolicyType>
SPORT
</PolicyType>
</NewDataSet>
','utf-16','UTF-8');
DECLARE @PolicyTypes TABLE
(
PolicyType char(5)
);
INSERT INTO @PolicyTypes
(
PolicyType
)
SELECT
LTrim(Replace(Replace(Replace(
T.PolicyType.value('.', 'varchar(120)')
, Char(13), ''), Char(10), ''), Char(9), ''))
FROM
@xmlPolicyType.nodes('/NewDataSet/PolicyType') As T (PolicyType)
;

I create a new SQL CE database and try to add two tables with a key linkiing them. The first table is created successfully with the statement:
CREATE TABLE Classes(ClassId INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, Class NVARCHAR(64) NOT NULL )
and I add 3 rows to it successfully.
I then try to create the second table with a foreign key thus:
CREATE TABLE Accounts(Account NVARCHAR(64) NOT NULL, Telephone NVARCHAR(128), ClassId INTEGER FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES Classes(ClassId) )
but this fails with the message:
The constraint specified is not valid
What am I doing wrong?

Have a read of the first answer in this StackOverflow Question[^] on the same subject.
The first answer suggests that you remove the FOREIGN KEY part of your create table statement

Thanks Eddy, your suggestion did work (for SQL CE). I have been staring at this for over an hour and could not see the subtlety of the optional parameters in the documentation[^].
[edit]
For the record the correct syntax is:
CREATE TABLE Accounts(Account NVARCHAR(64) NOT NULL, Telephone NVARCHAR(128), ClassId INTEGER, FOREIGN KEY (ClassId) REFERENCES Classes(ClassId) )
