update sql query using joins informix - sql-update

I have one table table1 (id, name, surname, ssn) and a view1 (id, ssn) and here is my update clause
update table1 set
ssn=v.ssn
from table1 t,view v
where t.id=v.id
However I get syntax error sql code -201, does anybody knows what is the problem?

Can you try:
UPDATE table1 SET ssn=(SELECT ssn FROM view WHERE table1.id=view.id)
PS You use strange names: table1, view. They say nothing about data in those tables/views. I hope this is only for this question.

You can use the MERGE statement.
But this depends the version of the Informix engine are you working (needs version 11.50 for this answer work).
Check this other similar question/answer answer for more information.
MERGE INTO table1 as t1
USING table2 as t2
ON t1.ID = t2.ID
WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE set (t1.col1, t1.col2) = (t2.col1, t2.col2);

Query for listing Datasets and Number of tables in Bigquery

So I'd like make a query that shows all the datasets from a project, and the number of tables in each one. My problem is with the number of tables.
Here is what I'm stuck with :
SELECT
smt.catalog_name as `Project`,
smt.schema_name as `DataSet`,
( SELECT
COUNT(*)
FROM ***DataSet***.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
) as `nbTable`,
smt.creation_time,
smt.location
FROM
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMATA smt
ORDER BY DataSet
The view INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMATA lists all the datasets from the project the query is executed, and the view INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES lists all the tables from a given dataset.
The thing is that the view INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES needs to have the dataset specified like this give the tables informations : dataset.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
So what I need is to replace the *** DataSet*** by the one I got from the query itself (smt.schema_name).
I am not sure if I can do it with a sub query, but I don't really know how to manage to do it.
I hope I'm clear enough, thanks in advance if you can help.
You can do this using some procedural language as follows:
CREATE TEMP TABLE table_counts (dataset_id STRING, table_count INT64);
FOR record IN
(
SELECT
catalog_name as project_id,
schema_name as dataset_id
FROM `elzagales.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMATA`
)
DO
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
CONCAT("INSERT table_counts (dataset_id, table_count) SELECT table_schema as dataset_id, count(table_name) from ", record.dataset_id,".INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES GROUP BY dataset_id");
END FOR;
SELECT * FROM table_counts;
This will return something like:

Using cte to swap two columns of a table

I want to swap 2nd and 3rd column of one table using CTE.
I'm working with below query, which keeps throwing an error,
no such column: cte.comm1
Table - [SalComm] column: ID, Sal, Comm
with CTE as
(
SELECT ID as id1, sal as sal1, comm as comm1 from SalComm
) UPDATE SalComm SET sal=cte.comm1, comm=cte.sal1 where ID= cte.id1*
Could you please suggest to me the right query?
This answer assumes you are using SQL Server, or some other database, which supports directly updating common table expressions. I don't see the point at all of the aliases inside your CTE. If you want to swap columns values, just use the direct columns names:
WITH cte AS (
SELECT ID, sal, comm
FROM SalComm
)
UPDATE cte
SET sal = comm, comm = sal;
-- no WHERE clause needed, if you really want to cover the entire table
That being said, you could just as easily do the above update on the original table. Updatable CTEs are more useful when they generate some complex derived results which you intend to use as part of a later update. That does not appear to be the case here.

Unable to join two tables from two different databases in Athena

I have 2 databases in Athena each with it's own table. I'm not sure how to join two tables.Contractinfo_2019 is a database and so is enrollmentinfo_2019 another database. I keep getting error :
"SYNTAX_ERROR: line 11:10: Table awsdatacatalog.enrollmentinfo_2019.contractinfo2019 does not exist
This query ran against the "enrollmentinfo_2019" database, unless qualified by the query. Please post the error message on our forum or contact customer support with Query Id: 1bbc3941-4fa1-40a0-87c1-eb093784c990."
SELECT a.*,
b.*
FROM
(SELECT contract_id,
plan_id,
organization_type,
plan_type,
organization_name,
plan_name,
parent_organization
FROM contractinfo2019) AS a
LEFT JOIN
(SELECT contract_number,
plan_id,
state,
county,
enrollment
FROM enrollmentinfo2019) AS b
ON a.contract_id=b.contract_number
AND a.plan_id=b.plan_id
Can someone please guide me how to join table's in Athena. I'm not sure what am i doing wrong here?
I would recommend re-writing the query using WITH
for example:
WITH a AS
(SELECT contract_id,
plan_id,
organization_type,
plan_type,
organization_name,
plan_name,
parent_organization
FROM Contractinfo_2019.contractinfo2019),
b as
(SELECT contract_number,
plan_id,
state,
county,
enrollment
FROM enrollmentinfo_2019.enrollmentinfo2019)
SELECT * FROM a
LEFT JOIN b ON a.contract_id=b.contract_number
AND a.plan_id=b.plan_id
You just need qualified table names.
Instead of:
FROM contractinfo2019
use this (assuming I got your database and table name right):
FROM contractinfo_2019.contractinfo2019

Using another table in BigQuery Regex

I would like to map a string column to a category based on a regular expression match.
Is it possible to use another bigquery table containing the regular expressions and corresponding category for this? This would make it easier for me to update only a table when adding new categories/updating the regex, instead of having to update all queries that would use this lookup.
Query:
CASE
-- Use the entries from another table here
WHEN REGEXP_MATCH(string_to_check, cat1regex) THEN cat1
WHEN REGEXP_MATCH(string_to_check, cat2regex) THEN cat2
etc.
END
Mapping table:
Regex category
pagex|pagey xy
pagez|page1 z1
It's also possible there is another simple way to do something similar that I'm not thinking of, answers pointing those out are welcome too.
Any help would be appreciated.
Below is for BigQuery Standard SQL
#standardSQL
SELECT
string_to_check,
MAX(IF(REGEXP_CONTAINS(string_to_check, reg), category, NULL)) AS category
FROM yourTable
CROSS JOIN mappingTable
GROUP BY string_to_check
You can test / play with it using below dummy date from your question
#standardSQL
WITH `mappingTable` AS (
SELECT r'pagex|pagey' AS reg, 'xy' AS category UNION ALL
SELECT r'pagez|page1', 'z1'
),
`yourTable` AS (
SELECT string_to_check
FROM UNNEST(["pagex.com", "pagez#example.org", "page.example.net"]) AS string_to_check
)
SELECT
string_to_check,
MAX(IF(REGEXP_CONTAINS(string_to_check, reg), category, NULL)) AS category
FROM yourTable
CROSS JOIN mappingTable
GROUP BY string_to_check

CFQuery - Update a table by comparing it to another table [duplicate]

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
