If you create a stored procedure, then you can always just open up query analyzer and execute the stored procedure without having to retype it. You can also schedule a stored procedure to run by creating a job (under management, sql server agent, jobs. If you just type it into the query analyzer, it is a one time shot and boom it is gone, making you retype it if you want to run it again, or worst yet, forgetting how you did it (which happens all the time when learning) and wasting time. -----Original Message----- From: Klos, Susan [mailto:Susan.Klos at fldoe.org] Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2003 3:19 PM To: 'dba-sqlserver at databaseadvisors.com' Subject: RE: [dba-SQLServer]A real Newbie Queston re:updating a Field in a Table I think I would like to go the Stored Procedure way as that is what I think most programmers do. What is the difference between the two? -----Original Message----- From: Nicholson, Karen [mailto:knicholson at gpsx.net] Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2003 3:05 PM To: dba-sqlserver at databaseadvisors.com Subject: RE: [dba-SQLServer]A real Newbie Queston re:updating a Field in a Table You know, you dont really hav to create a stored procedure. I am just so used to doing that. You could just put in the code in the query analyzer. Sorry about that, I am programmed to create stored procedures. -----Original Message----- From: Nicholson, Karen [mailto:knicholson at gpsx.net] Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2003 3:00 PM To: dba-sqlserver at databaseadvisors.com Subject: RE: [dba-SQLServer]A real Newbie Queston re:updating a Field in a Table This would be in a stored procedure. Create a new stored procedure such as: create stored procedure gps_update as update dbo.prospect set dbo.prospect.udf12='myvalue' FROM dbo.prospect INNER JOIN dbo.customer ON dbo.prospect.cust_no = dbo.customer.cust_no Then, from SQL server, go up to TOOLS. Selected SQL query analyzer. A new window opens. Make sure that you select the correct database from the drop down box. Type: exec gps_update Then hit the green arrow to run the procedure. Your stored procedure will run. -----Original Message----- From: Klos, Susan [mailto:Susan.Klos at fldoe.org] Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2003 2:52 PM To: 'dba-sqlserver at databaseadvisors.com' Subject: RE: [dba-SQLServer]A real Newbie Queston re:updating a Field in a Table This is really going to show my ignorance. Do you put the sql code in a new view? If not, where? -----Original Message----- From: Nicholson, Karen [mailto:knicholson at gpsx.net] Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2003 10:39 AM To: dba-sqlserver at databaseadvisors.com Subject: RE: [dba-SQLServer]A real Newbie Queston re:updating a Field in a Table Here is an example - I have a prospect and a customer table. Join them by their common field, cust_no. Update the field you want to update (I used udf12) to the desired value. update dbo.prospect set dbo.prospect.udf12='myvalue' FROM dbo.prospect INNER JOIN dbo.customer ON dbo.prospect.cust_no = dbo.customer.cust_no -----Original Message----- From: Klos, Susan [mailto:Susan.Klos at fldoe.org] Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2003 10:13 AM To: 'dba-SQLServer at databaseadvisors.com' Subject: [dba-SQLServer]A real Newbie Queston re:updating a Field in a Table I have two tables which are inner joined on two fields. One of the tables contains a flag field. I want to update the flag field only where records in the two tables are the same. _______________________________________________ dba-SQLServer mailing list dba-SQLServer at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-sqlserver http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ dba-SQLServer mailing list dba-SQLServer at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-sqlserver http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ dba-SQLServer mailing list dba-SQLServer at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-sqlserver http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ dba-SQLServer mailing list dba-SQLServer at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-sqlserver http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ dba-SQLServer mailing list dba-SQLServer at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-sqlserver http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ dba-SQLServer mailing list dba-SQLServer at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-sqlserver http://www.databaseadvisors.com
