Need help in update statement

hi,
how can i achieve the following logic
I have table ABC with column A varchar(20), B(int), C(varchar(20))
if A is null and B is valid number then C has to be updated with 'text'
if A is valid text and B is null then C has to be updated with 'number'
if A is valid text and B is valid number then C has to be updated with 'text-number'
thanks in advance

First Update
UPDATE ABC
SET C= 'text'
where A is null;since B is int data type it will always storeintegeres hence check not required.
Second Update
UPDATE ABC
set C = 'number'
where A is not null
and B IS NULLThird Update
UPDATE ABC
SET C = 'number-text'
WHERE A IS NOT NULL;Hope this answers.
You can get this in single update too
AND B IS NOT NULL

Need help with update statement with multiple joins

I've got the following select statement that is pulling 29 records:
SELECT
PPA.PROJECT_ID,
PPA.SEGMENT1,
peia.expenditure_item_id,
peia.expenditure_type,
pec.expenditure_comment
FROM PA.PA_PROJECTS_ALL PPA,
pa.pa_expenditure_items_all peia,

where PPA.segment1 < '2008' and

peia.expenditure_type = 'PAYROLL' and
peia.project_id = ppa.project_id and
PEC.EXPENDITURE_ITEM_ID = PEIA.EXPENDITURE_ITEM_ID;
I need to update the pec.expenditure_comments to a static field for those 29 records. I assume I should start with the following, but not sure how to complete the where:
update
pa.pa_expenditure_comments pec
set pec.expenditure_comment = 'REFERENCE HD#728'
where
First time that we've ever needed to update, so any and all help appreciated.

Try using exists:
update pa.pa_expenditure_comments pec
set    pec.expenditure_comment = 'REFERENCE HD#728'
where exists ( select null
               from   pa.pa_projects_all ppa

               where ppa.segment1 < ''    -- not sure what you posted here, so for next time:
                                           -- please put your examples between the code tags.

Need Help ASAP my State tax form is in a PDF file and the attachment in my email says Please wait

Need Help ASAP my State tax form is in a PDF file and the attachment in my email says Please wait...
I tried downloading updates like it said to but it still will not display the document. How do I print the PDF file ASAP

Can you give us a LOT more info?
What email client? What version of Reader (I can only assume you even have Reader at this point)?
Please wait? I'm sure it says more than that, right?
Have you tried simply saving the PDF (it IS a PDF correct?) to your desktop and opening it from there?
Did you get this form from the IRS or did it come from somewhere else? If the IRS again, what version of Reader?
Help us help you.

HT201541 I need help with updating my browser.

I need help with updating my browser. Its telling me that Safari is outdated.

That is a very old version belonging to Snow Leopard. I take it you are not actually running Yosemite.
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

        If oOrder.GetByKey(530) Then

You can probably also use MERGE:

Help on update statement in Apply DML Handler

I followed the example given in Streams document.
The document has the code for converting DELETE on the source to INSERT on the target. I added the dml handler code INSERT and UPDATE statements also.
In DELETE, INSERT, UPDATE dml handler code, I am setting the command type to 'INSERT' so that I can insert the data in the target table.
It is working fine for DELETE and INSERT statements.
When I do update on the source table,
I see only the value for the column I updated and all other columns are showing blank. May be this is the normal behaviour. How do I see the values for entire record. Do I need to join the source table based on the key column to get the data for the columns that were not updated.
Also, I thought I should at least see the values for key column and updated column in the target table. It only shows the value for updated column but not for key column. But, When I choosed the old values (I know we need new values, but I just did it for test purpose) in the UPDATE DML handler, it shows the values for key column and the updated column.
When I read the data in the LCR record using get_value('old', 'EMPLOYEE_ID') and get_value('NEW', 'FIRST_NAME')
for key column, it shows the value in both old and new. I do not understand why it is not inserting the key column value in the target table.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Best regards,

I forgot to mention these things.
We added supplmental logging using alter database add supplemental log data (primary key, unique index) columns;
I also added the supplemental logging on the source key column (employee_id) using ALTER TABLE emp ADD SUPPLEMENTAL LOG GROUP log_group_emp_pk (employee_id) ALWAYS;
I also set the key column on the target table using DBMS_APPLY_ADM.SET_KEY_COLUMNS.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Best regards,

Need help regarding updated rows

Dear sir,
need help on this query
how many rows got updated when i execute an update statement

If you are executing update statement from sqlplus session.
Make sure "feedback" is turned on. It'll show numbers of rows updated just after the command;
SQL> update tt1 set col1 = 1;
0 rows updated.
SQL> show feedback
FEEDBACK ON for 1 or more rows
SQL> set feedback off
SQL> update tt1 set col1 = 1;
SQL>Details about this sqlplus system setting:
FEED[BACK] {6|n|OFF|ON}
Display the number of records returned (when rows >= n )
OFF (or n=0) will turn the display off
ON will set n=1

Need help in UPDATE data in SQL Query

Hi all,
I am trying to update data in the sql table as per below screenshot but couldn't able to do it. Can anyone help to update the data as I mention in screenshot.Appreciate you help.Thanks.
Yellow highlighted columns are source
Green highlighted columns are target
Colored data should be update as per source data in sql table.Data is not static as it might have more rows to update and query should be bit dynamic.
Maruthi...

You have already asked this question once. You did not get any good answers, because you the information you gave was insufficient. And I'm afraid that the information is still in sufficient.
Or more exactly, from the example you have given, the answer is: can't be done. And the reason it can't be done, is as I explained in response to you first thread: there is no information in the data to from which we can deduce that Clorox Company
should be under "Week 1-1,K.B,F". The fact that rows are listed in a certain order in the screenshoot is of no importance, because a table is an unordered object.
But you said in another post that you have a timestamp column. Maybe that column is usable - maybe it is not. But at least it is a key that you have more columns that the ones you show.
The best way to get help with this type of problems is to post:
1) CREATE TABLE statement for your table(s).
2) INSERT statements with sample data.
3) The desired result given the sample.
4) A short description of the actual buisness problem you are trying to solve.
5) Which version of SQL Server you are using.
This makes it easy to copy and paste into a query window to develop a tested solution. Screenshots with an insufficient amount of data is not going to help you very much.

Need Help On SQL Statement

I am using Sybase as my back end database. I need help on my SQL statement regarding datetime. The datetime is store as a 9 digit integer in the database (...I believe it is a Decimal(30,6) format, let me know if I am wrong).
If I do this, "select * from mytable;" It works out fine (except I don't know what the date means e.g. 998919534)
If I do this, "select * from mytable where datetime_col < '9/5/2002' ; I got an error. I even tried '9/5/02 11:00 000 am' but it didn't help.
How do I specify a date or datetime in my query?
Thanks in advance.

I execute the sql statement
select * from mytable where datetim_col < convert(datetime, '3/4/2002', 101) ;
I got mix result. I got an error message "cannot convert 10375584 to a date.
Yet, he statistics window of the I-sql says
"estimated 493 rows in query (I/O estimate 87)
PLan> mytable (seq)"
It looks like I my the SQL statement is correct and then the system can't display it in the Data window.
Any thought ?
