How to assign random number to one column for 500 records?

I try to set up a testing sample table which contain one integer project_ID field for table Sample around 500 records, and want the project_ID to be random number within 1 to 99, how to implement script todo it?

thanks!

Here you go !
using System
namespace x {
classe y {
public y () {}
public int getRandomID () {
Random r = new Random()
return r.Next(1,99); // this indicates the start and end limit of the random function
}
}
}

then use the returned value into your SQL query to generate the records... make sure you dont have the project_ID as primary key as this above code does not check for uniqueness of the generated number....

How to append records of one table to another?

Hi I have a table with the following structure:

Table1
---
Dept
Filed1
Filed2
Field3
Field4
Field5

I have another table with the following structure
(Basically this table will contain a subset of coloumns of Table1)

Table2
---
Dept
Field1
Field2

Now using a query I would like see all the records with all coloumns in Table1 plus all the records in Table2 appended

i.e
if Table1 row is

IT F1 F2 F3 F4 F5

and if Table2 row is

IT F11 F22
Sales F12 F23

I would like to see a result set with the following structure

Resultset

IT F1 F2 F3 F4 F5
IT F11 F22 NULL NULL NULL
Sales F12 F23 NULL NULL NULL

Can some body explain me how to do this with a query. I tried using union but it requires identical coloumns on both ends( Ofcourse, we can acheive this by having Field3,Field4 and Field5 as blank columns in Table 2 but I don't wanna do that as my original tables are too huge to handle this).

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks,
SaiOne ugly way to do it is:

select column1, column2, column3, column4, column5, column6 from table1
union
select column1, column2, column3, null, null, null from table2

Pain in the butt to do if you have a lot of columns but it will get you the rs back that you want.

Good luck.

How to append only new records

What would be the steps to create a SSIS job to append records from an ODBC table to a SQL table, adding only the records from the source that do not already exist in the destination?

I have another post on this subject, with a good suggestion for the approach, but I need some more detailed instructions for implementing it:

Have you considered to use a Lookup task in your data flow to check if the row already exists in the destination table and then use the error output (no matches) for inserting only non existing rows? Notice that the error output of the lookup task needs to be set as 'redirect rows' in order to get this behavior

All details here:

How to alert via email when Agent records errors/warning in log?

We are in on SQL2000 and our SQL Server Agent started to receive errors for
Mail Profile not available. It wasn't until we looked at the agent error log
we saw the problem.
Is there any way to report the SQL Server Agent Warnings/Errors via email or
alert as a pro-active stance?
Hi
Instead of using alerts you could have steps that send emails, to avoid mapi
you can use SMTP see http://www.sqldev.net/xp/xpsmtp.htm. The sending of the
email can be determined by the jobs workflow if necessary.
If you are looking for a product to monitor your server then you may want to
check out MOM.

How to add data in sql mobile database from sql server 2005 management studio

Hi,

After creating mobile database into sql server 2005 management studio, how to insert the records from sql server 2005 management studio into and mobile database from excel file?

Thank you

Prashant

There is no automatic tool (or out-of-box usable tool) which you can use to import data into SQL Mobile from excel or .csv file. You need to write a small app that reads the data/rwo from excel file and inserts into SQL Mobile database.

Thanks,

If using SQL 2005, look into using ROW_NUMBER also.
