I have 2 tables with information in them. I need to update the SelfServiceUserName column in table A_CLIENT with the value from the SubstVarValue column of the A_DEV_SUBSTVAR_VALUE table when the ClientUID and DeviceID match and the SubstVarName from the A_DEV_SUBSTVAR_VALUE table = samaccount name. Here is the query I've tried to run but I keep getting errors:
UPDATE A_CLIENT
SET SelfServiceUserName = (SELECT SubstVarValue
FROM A_DEV_SUBSTVAR_VALUE
WHERE A_DEV_SUBSTVAR_VALUE.SubstVarName = 'samaccountname')
WHERE A_CLIENT.ClientUID = A_DEV_SUBSTVAR_VALUE.DeviceID
I always write a join between the two tables first to get the rows I want side by side and make sure I have the JOIN clause correct.
SELECT p.ProductID, p.ProductName, p.Price AS OldPrice, n.Price as NewPrice
FROM Products as p
JOIN NewPrices as n on p.ProductID = n.ProductID
Once I have done that it's easy to change it into an update statement by replacing the SELECT clause with an UPDATE and SET:
UPDATE p
SET Price = n.Price
FROM Products as p
JOIN NewPrices as n on p.ProductID = n.ProductID
Note you don't alias the Price on the left side of the SET clause, because it is necessarily from the p (Product) table, so there is no ambiguity. You must still alias the Price on the right of the equals because it could be the field coming from either the p (Product) or n (NewPrice) table.
You could also use a CTE (Common Table Expression) if your SQL engine supports it:
WITH x AS (
SELECT p.ProductID, p.ProductName, p.Price AS OldPrice, n.Price as NewPrice
FROM Products as p
JOIN NewPrices as n on p.ProductID = n.ProductID
)
UPDATE x set OldPrice = NewPrice
Try something like
update a_client c
inner join a_dev_substvar_value d on
c.clientuid = d.deviceid
set
c.selfserviceusername = d.substvarvalue
where
d.substvarname = 'samaccountname';
Note, you should try avoid writing select statements in your were clause because it is run for ever row returned. This can be a big performance hit.
That should work.
I have a database with account numbers and card numbers. I match these to a file to update any card numbers to the account number so that I am only working with account numbers.
I created a view linking the table to the account/card database to return the Table ID and the related account number, and now I need to update those records where the ID matches the Account Number.
This is the Sales_Import table, where the account number field needs to be updated:
LeadID
AccountNumber
147
5807811235
150
5807811326
185
7006100100007267039
And this is the RetrieveAccountNumber table, where I need to update from:
LeadID
AccountNumber
147
7006100100007266957
150
7006100100007267039
I tried the below, but no luck so far:
UPDATE [Sales_Lead].[dbo].[Sales_Import]
SET [AccountNumber] = (SELECT RetrieveAccountNumber.AccountNumber
FROM RetrieveAccountNumber
WHERE [Sales_Lead].[dbo].[Sales_Import]. LeadID =
RetrieveAccountNumber.LeadID)
It updates the card numbers to account numbers, but the account numbers get replaced by NULL
I believe an UPDATE FROM with a JOIN will help:
MS SQL
UPDATE
Sales_Import
SET
Sales_Import.AccountNumber = RAN.AccountNumber
FROM
Sales_Import SI
INNER JOIN
RetrieveAccountNumber RAN
ON
SI.LeadID = RAN.LeadID;
MySQL and MariaDB
UPDATE
Sales_Import SI,
RetrieveAccountNumber RAN
SET
SI.AccountNumber = RAN.AccountNumber
WHERE
SI.LeadID = RAN.LeadID;
The simple Way to copy the content from one table to other is as follow:
UPDATE table2
SET table2.col1 = table1.col1,
table2.col2 = table1.col2,
...
FROM table1, table2
WHERE table1.memberid = table2.memberid
You can also add the condition to get the particular data copied.
For SQL Server 2008 + Using MERGE rather than the proprietary UPDATE ... FROM syntax has some appeal.
As well as being standard SQL and thus more portable it also will raise an error in the event of there being multiple joined rows on the source side (and thus multiple possible different values to use in the update) rather than having the final result be undeterministic.
MERGE INTO Sales_Import
USING RetrieveAccountNumber
ON Sales_Import.LeadID = RetrieveAccountNumber.LeadID
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE
SET AccountNumber = RetrieveAccountNumber.AccountNumber;
Unfortunately the choice of which to use may not come down purely to preferred style however. The implementation of MERGE in SQL Server has been afflicted with various bugs. Aaron Bertrand has compiled a list of the reported ones here.
Generic answer for future developers.
SQL Server
UPDATE
t1
SET
t1.column = t2.column
FROM
Table1 t1
INNER JOIN Table2 t2
ON t1.id = t2.id;
Oracle (and SQL Server)
UPDATE
t1
SET
t1.colmun = t2.column
FROM
Table1 t1,
Table2 t2
WHERE
t1.ID = t2.ID;
MySQL
UPDATE
Table1 t1,
Table2 t2
SET
t1.column = t2.column
WHERE
t1.ID = t2.ID;
For PostgreSQL:
UPDATE Sales_Import SI
SET AccountNumber = RAN.AccountNumber
FROM RetrieveAccountNumber RAN
WHERE RAN.LeadID = SI.LeadID;
Seems you are using MSSQL, then, if I remember correctly, it is done like this:
UPDATE [Sales_Lead].[dbo].[Sales_Import] SET [AccountNumber] =
RetrieveAccountNumber.AccountNumber
FROM RetrieveAccountNumber
WHERE [Sales_Lead].[dbo].[Sales_Import].LeadID = RetrieveAccountNumber.LeadID
I had the same problem with foo.new being set to null for rows of foo that had no matching key in bar. I did something like this in Oracle:
update foo
set foo.new = (select bar.new
from bar
where foo.key = bar.key)
where exists (select 1
from bar
where foo.key = bar.key)
Here's what worked for me in SQL Server:
UPDATE [AspNetUsers] SET
[AspNetUsers].[OrganizationId] = [UserProfile].[OrganizationId],
[AspNetUsers].[Name] = [UserProfile].[Name]
FROM [AspNetUsers], [UserProfile]
WHERE [AspNetUsers].[Id] = [UserProfile].[Id];
For MySql that works fine:
UPDATE
Sales_Import SI,RetrieveAccountNumber RAN
SET
SI.AccountNumber = RAN.AccountNumber
WHERE
SI.LeadID = RAN.LeadID
Thanks for the responses. I found a solution tho.
UPDATE Sales_Import
SET AccountNumber = (SELECT RetrieveAccountNumber.AccountNumber
FROM RetrieveAccountNumber
WHERE Sales_Import.leadid =RetrieveAccountNumber.LeadID)
WHERE Sales_Import.leadid = (SELECT RetrieveAccountNumber.LeadID
FROM RetrieveAccountNumber
WHERE Sales_Import.leadid = RetrieveAccountNumber.LeadID)
In case the tables are in a different databases. (MSSQL)
update database1..Ciudad
set CiudadDistrito=c2.CiudadDistrito
FROM database1..Ciudad c1
inner join
database2..Ciudad c2 on c2.CiudadID=c1.CiudadID
Use the following block of query to update Table1 with Table2 based on ID:
UPDATE Sales_Import, RetrieveAccountNumber
SET Sales_Import.AccountNumber = RetrieveAccountNumber.AccountNumber
where Sales_Import.LeadID = RetrieveAccountNumber.LeadID;
This is the easiest way to tackle this problem.
MS Sql
UPDATE c4 SET Price=cp.Price*p.FactorRate FROM TableNamea_A c4
inner join TableNamea_B p on c4.Calcid=p.calcid
inner join TableNamea_A cp on c4.Calcid=cp.calcid
WHERE c4..Name='MyName';
Oracle 11g
MERGE INTO TableNamea_A u
using
(
SELECT c4.TableName_A_ID,(cp.Price*p.FactorRate) as CalcTot
FROM TableNamea_A c4
inner join TableNamea_B p on c4.Calcid=p.calcid
inner join TableNamea_A cp on c4.Calcid=cp.calcid
WHERE p.Name='MyName'
) rt
on (u.TableNamea_A_ID=rt.TableNamea_B_ID)
WHEN MATCHED THEN
Update set Price=CalcTot ;
update from one table to another table on id matched
UPDATE
TABLE1 t1,
TABLE2 t2
SET
t1.column_name = t2.column_name
WHERE
t1.id = t2.id;
The below SQL someone suggested, does NOT work in SQL Server. This syntax reminds me of my old school class:
UPDATE table2
SET table2.col1 = table1.col1,
table2.col2 = table1.col2,
...
FROM table1, table2
WHERE table1.memberid = table2.memberid
All other queries using NOT IN or NOT EXISTS are not recommended. NULLs show up because OP compares entire dataset with smaller subset, then of course there will be matching problem. This must be fixed by writing proper SQL with correct JOIN instead of dodging problem by using NOT IN. You might run into other problems by using NOT IN or NOT EXISTS in this case.
My vote for the top one, which is conventional way of updating a table based on another table by joining in SQL Server. Like I said, you cannot use two tables in same UPDATE statement in SQL Server unless you join them first.
This is the easiest and best have seen for Mysql and Maria DB
UPDATE table2, table1 SET table2.by_department = table1.department WHERE table1.id = table2.by_id
Note: If you encounter the following error based on your Mysql/Maria DB version "Error Code: 1175. You are using safe update mode and you tried to update a table without a WHERE that uses a KEY column To disable safe mode, toggle the option in Preferences"
Then run the code like this
SET SQL_SAFE_UPDATES=0;
UPDATE table2, table1 SET table2.by_department = table1.department WHERE table1.id = table2.by_id
it works with postgresql
UPDATE application
SET omts_received_date = (
SELECT
date_created
FROM
application_history
WHERE
application.id = application_history.application_id
AND application_history.application_status_id = 8
);
update within the same table:
DECLARE #TB1 TABLE
(
No Int
,Name NVarchar(50)
,linkNo int
)
DECLARE #TB2 TABLE
(
No Int
,Name NVarchar(50)
,linkNo int
)
INSERT INTO #TB1 VALUES(1,'changed person data', 0);
INSERT INTO #TB1 VALUES(2,'old linked data of person', 1);
INSERT INTO #TB2 SELECT * FROM #TB1 WHERE linkNo = 0
SELECT * FROM #TB1
SELECT * FROM #TB2
UPDATE #TB1
SET Name = T2.Name
FROM #TB1 T1
INNER JOIN #TB2 T2 ON T2.No = T1.linkNo
SELECT * FROM #TB1
I thought this is a simple example might someone get it easier,
DECLARE #TB1 TABLE
(
No Int
,Name NVarchar(50)
)
DECLARE #TB2 TABLE
(
No Int
,Name NVarchar(50)
)
INSERT INTO #TB1 VALUES(1,'asdf');
INSERT INTO #TB1 VALUES(2,'awerq');
INSERT INTO #TB2 VALUES(1,';oiup');
INSERT INTO #TB2 VALUES(2,'lkjhj');
SELECT * FROM #TB1
UPDATE #TB1 SET Name =S.Name
FROM #TB1 T
INNER JOIN #TB2 S
ON S.No = T.No
SELECT * FROM #TB1
try this :
UPDATE
Table_A
SET
Table_A.AccountNumber = Table_B.AccountNumber ,
FROM
dbo.Sales_Import AS Table_A
INNER JOIN dbo.RetrieveAccountNumber AS Table_B
ON Table_A.LeadID = Table_B.LeadID
WHERE
Table_A.LeadID = Table_B.LeadID
MYSQL (This is my preferred way for restoring all specific column reasonId values, based on primary key id equivalence)
UPDATE `site` AS destination
INNER JOIN `site_copy` AS backupOnTuesday
ON backupOnTuesday.`id` = destination.`id`
SET destdestination.`reasonId` = backupOnTuesday.`reasonId`
This will allow you to update a table based on the column value not being found in another table.
UPDATE table1 SET table1.column = 'some_new_val' WHERE table1.id IN (
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT table1.id
FROM table1
LEFT JOIN table2 ON ( table2.column = table1.column )
WHERE table1.column = 'some_expected_val'
AND table12.column IS NULL
) AS Xalias
)
This will update a table based on the column value being found in both tables.
UPDATE table1 SET table1.column = 'some_new_val' WHERE table1.id IN (
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT table1.id
FROM table1
JOIN table2 ON ( table2.column = table1.column )
WHERE table1.column = 'some_expected_val'
) AS Xalias
)
Summarizing the other answers, there're 4 variants of how to update target table using data from another table only when "match exists"
Query and sub-query:
update si
set si.AccountNumber = (
select ran.AccountNumber
from RetrieveAccountNumber ran
where si.LeadID = ran.LeadID
)
from Sales_Import si
where exists (select * from RetrieveAccountNumber ran where ran.LeadID = si.LeadID)
Inner join:
update si
set si.AccountNumber = ran.AccountNumber
from Sales_Import si inner join RetrieveAccountNumber ran on si.LeadID = ran.LeadID
Cross join:
update si
set si.AccountNumber = ran.AccountNumber
from Sales_Import si, RetrieveAccountNumber ran
where si.LeadID = ran.LeadID
Merge:
merge into Sales_Import si
using RetrieveAccountNumber ran on si.LeadID = ran.LeadID
when matched then update set si.accountnumber = ran.accountnumber;
All variants are more-less trivial and understandable, personally I prefer "inner join" option. But any of them could be used and developer has to select "better option" according to his/her needs
From performance perspective variants with join-s are more preferable:
Oracle 11g
merge into Sales_Import
using RetrieveAccountNumber
on (Sales_Import.LeadId = RetrieveAccountNumber.LeadId)
when matched then update set Sales_Import.AccountNumber = RetrieveAccountNumber.AccountNumber;
For Oracle SQL try using alias
UPDATE Sales_Lead.dbo.Sales_Import SI
SET SI.AccountNumber = (SELECT RAN.AccountNumber FROM RetrieveAccountNumber RAN WHERE RAN.LeadID = SI.LeadID);
I'd like to add one extra thing.
Don't update a value with the same value, it generates extra logging and unnecessary overhead.
See example below - it will only perform the update on 2 records despite linking on 3.
DROP TABLE #TMP1
DROP TABLE #TMP2
CREATE TABLE #TMP1(LeadID Int,AccountNumber NVarchar(50))
CREATE TABLE #TMP2(LeadID Int,AccountNumber NVarchar(50))
INSERT INTO #TMP1 VALUES
(147,'5807811235')
,(150,'5807811326')
,(185,'7006100100007267039');
INSERT INTO #TMP2 VALUES
(147,'7006100100007266957')
,(150,'7006100100007267039')
,(185,'7006100100007267039');
UPDATE A
SET A.AccountNumber = B.AccountNumber
FROM
#TMP1 A
INNER JOIN #TMP2 B
ON
A.LeadID = B.LeadID
WHERE
A.AccountNumber <> B.AccountNumber --DON'T OVERWRITE A VALUE WITH THE SAME VALUE
SELECT * FROM #TMP1
ORACLE
use
UPDATE suppliers
SET supplier_name = (SELECT customers.customer_name
FROM customers
WHERE customers.customer_id = suppliers.supplier_id)
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT customers.customer_name
FROM customers
WHERE customers.customer_id = suppliers.supplier_id);
update table1 dpm set col1 = dpu.col1 from table2 dpu where dpm.parameter_master_id = dpu.parameter_master_id;
If above answers not working for you try this
Update Sales_Import A left join RetrieveAccountNumber B on A.LeadID = B.LeadID
Set A.AccountNumber = B.AccountNumber
where A.LeadID = B.LeadID
I have an issue with DQL in Doctrine 2.
Subqueries seem to be unavailable in DQL, so I don't know how to transform :
SELECT DISTINCT a.ID_DOMAINE, L_DOMAINE, b.ID_SS_DOMAINE, L_SS_DOMAINE, c.ID_COMPETENCE, L_COMPETENCE
FROM ((qfq_prod.REF_DOMAINE a inner join qfq_prod.REF_SS_DOMAINE b on a.id_domaine = b.id_domaine)
inner join qfq_prod.REF_COMPETENCE c on b.id_ss_domaine = c.id_ss_domaine)
inner join qfq_prod.REF_PERS_COMP d on c.id_competence = d.id_competence
into a DQL expression.
I tried it and got
"Error: Class '(' is not defined."
I saw that we can use Query Builder to do this as well.
Being new with Doctrine 2, can someone explain to me how I can do this please ?
My DQL is currently :
$query = $this->getEntityManager()->createQuery ( "SELECT DISTINCT a.ID_DOMAINE, L_DOMAINE, b.ID_SS_DOMAINE, L_SS_DOMAINE, c.ID_COMPETENCE, L_COMPETENCE
FROM ((BdDoctrine\Entity\Domaine a inner join BdDoctrine\Entity\SsDomaine b on a.id_domaine = b.id_domaine)
inner join BdDoctrine\Entity\Competence c on b.id_ss_domaine = c.id_ss_domaine)
inner join BdDoctrine\Entity\LienPersComp d on c.id_competence = d.id_competence" );
$res = $query->getResult ();
Subqueries seem to be unavailable in DQL, so I don't know how to transform :
Actually, they are. Your code (no offence) is hardly readable so I will give you an example:
//controller
$repo = $this->getDoctrine()->getRepository("Your:Bundle:Category") ;
$results = $repo->findAllForSomePage() ;
// CategoryRepository.php
public function findAllForSomePage()
{
return $this->createQueryBuilder("o")
->innerJoin("o.products", "p", "WITH", "p.price>:price")->addSelect("p")
->setParameter("price", 50)
->where("o.id IN (SELECT s1.id FROM Your:Bundle:Something s1 WHERE s1.col1=5)")
->getQuery()->getResult() ;
}
Here is presumed you have Category hasMany Products relation and that you defined CategoryRepository file. You should never create queries in controller.
This example will fetch Categories only if they have Products with price bigger than 50, AND the ID of categories are those fetched by fictional subquery. This 100% works.
You should apply the same logic on your requirement.
Also, you should not use ON statement when using joins, that is handled by doctrine.
If you have the relationships properly defined in your entities, then you can make your joins on those relationships. And as Zeljko mentioned, you don't need to specify the ON condition, as the entities should already know how they are related. You are joining entities not tables. (That's under the hood.)
I don't know what your entities look like, so I made a guess at the relationship names below, but it should give you the idea.
$dql =

I want to implement this SQL using doctrine2 query builder:
SELECT c.*, COUNT(s.id) AS studentCount
FROM classes c
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT *
FROM student_classes
WHERE YEAR = '2012'
) sc ON c.id = sc.class_id
LEFT JOIN students s ON sc.student_id = s.id
GROUP BY c.id
I tried this one but didn't work
$qb = $this->getEntityManager()
->getRepository('Classes')
->createQueryBuilder('c');
$qb->select('c.id AS id, c.name AS name, COUNT(s) AS studentCount');
$qb->leftJoin(
$qb->select('sc1')
->from('StudentClasses', 'sc1')
->where('sc1.year = :year')
->setParameter('year', $inputYear),
'sc2'
);
$qb->leftJoin('sc2.students', 's');
$qb->groupBy('c.id');
return $qb->getQuery()->getScalarResult();
or should I use nativeSQL instead?
any help would be appreciated,
thanks.
What are you trying to do is really interesting, because JOIN on a SELECT seems to not be supported by Doctrine2 with DQL or QueryBuilder. Of course, you can try with a native query.
However, to answer to your question, I believe that you don't need to make a JOIN on a SELECT. Simply, JOIN on StudentClasses and then add a condition in the WHERE about the $year! The WHERE clause is made for that.
You can use WITH clause to join entity with additional check, For your subquery you can write the same using left join with year filter, In join part i have used c.studentClasses based on the assumption that in Classes entity you have some mapped property for StudentClasses entity
$qb = $this->getEntityManager()
->getRepository('Classes')
->createQueryBuilder('c');
$qb->select('c.id AS id, c.name AS name, COUNT(s) AS studentCount');
$qb->leftJoin('c.studentClasses','sc2', 'WITH', 'sc2.year = :year');
$qb->leftJoin('sc2.students', 's');
$qb->setParameter('year', $inputYear);
$qb->groupBy('c.id');
I have an SQL query that I have written using CTE. Now, I am moving the repository to use Entity Framework 5.
I am at a loss as to how to integrate (or rewrite) the CTE-based query using Entity Framework 5.
I am using POCO entities with the EF5 and have a bunch of Map classes. There is no EDMX file etc.
I feel like a total noob right now and would appreciate any help pointing me in the right direction.
The CTE query is as following
WITH CDE AS
(
SELECT * FROM collaboration.Workspace AS W WHERE W.Id = #WorkspaceId
UNION ALL
SELECT W.* FROM collaboration.Workspace AS W INNER JOIN CDE ON W.ParentId = CDE.Id AND W.ParentId <> '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000'
)
SELECT
W.Id AS Id,
W.Name AS Name,
W.Description AS Description,
MAX(WH.ActionedTimeUtc) AS LastUpdatedTimeUtc,
WH.ActorId AS LastUpdateUserId
FROM
collaboration.Workspace AS W
INNER JOIN
collaboration.WorkspaceHistory AS WH ON W.Id = WH.WorkspaceId
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT TOP 10
CDE.Id

CDE
INNER JOIN
collaboration.WorkspaceHistory AS WH ON WH.WorkspaceId = CDE.Id
WHERE

You must create stored procedure for your SQL query (or use that query directly) and execute it through dbContext.Database.SqlQuery. You are using code-first approach where you don't have any other options. In EDMX you could use mapped table valued function but code-first doesn't have such option yet.
I have built a stored procedure which takes array of ids as input parameter and return data table using recursive cte query Take a look at the code here it's using EF and code first approach
