Is there any way to store multiple images in image field? I am using sql2005

Thanks in advance,
Jaison

I tried UNION ALL and it works, but record total length like record type 1 is not 20 , instead of 300 as table2.

Thanks.

If you’re executing from inside a .Net program then you’ve a limit of 2100 parameters per command. This toy example with 2 columns is okay, but in the real world you would probably blow up before you got to 1000 rows.

TVP works fine for to avoid this. But Bulk Insert is slightly faster in my tests. Both are much faster than comma-separated values.

INSERT INTO Table2
([col1]
,[col2]
,[col3])
SELECT col1, col2, col3 FROM table1

– Create two tables
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
GO

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table1](
[col1] [int] NULL,
[col2] [varchar](50) NULL,
[col3] [varchar](50) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]

GO

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table2](
[col1] [int] NULL,
[col2] [varchar](50) NULL,
[col3] [varchar](50) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]

GO

– Populate the first table

INSERT INTO Table2
([col1]
,[col2]
,[col3])

select 1, ‘hi1′, ‘Dave1′
UNION ALL
select 2, ‘hi2′, ‘Dave2′

GO

– Populate Table 2 with the values of Table1
INSERT INTO Table2
([col1]
,[col2]
,[col3])
SELECT col1, col2, col3 FROM table1

GO
– Check the values of Table2
SELECT
col1
, col2
, col3
FROM Table2

GO

(or any other valid SQL Select statement where the datatypes from the source match the datatypes of the destination.)

The ultimate goal is to display the data and have a few fields where users enter a few items in Sharepoint… (Example)

CustomerName assessmentdate Invoicechecked Invoicesent
bob jones 09/01/2012

so above data from db is displayed (custname, assessdate) but in sharepoint users would answer yes/no etc for invoicechecked/invoicesent

I created a view, mainly because quite a few tables had to be joined etc to pull data and I obviosuly don’t know what I am doing…

The data in the view looks from today back 15 days. (keep that in mind) That means items will fall off the view and items in view will change. I want the items in the view to copy over to table on a regular basis. Because the view is always looking back 15 days there will be items in the view that will be duplicates or will have changed…don’t know how to deal with that either

At the same time the Table has fields that will be null from beginning because they will be populated via Sharepoint.

any ideas or help would be much appreciated!

SELECT TOP 10 * FROM yourtable ORDER BY created_datetime DESC

I am able to get it using IDENT_CURRENT(‘tablename’) for the tables which has IDENTITY COLUMN. Looking to get n reocrds from tables which don’t have IDENTITY COLUMN. I am just wondering is there any un-documented View, SP, Table etc. which gives me the last inserted n records.

This is useful for ad-hoc SQL, but I agree with the earlier posters that normally, table-valued parameters are the way to go for inserting multiple records. If you are stuck with SQL2005 you can use XML.

STEP 1: Create a text file the name STUDENTS_LIST.txt and add the bellow data

1,RAJIV,M.S
2,VINAY KUMAR,B.A
3,HANU,M.B.A
4,ARUN,M.Sc

STEP 2: Create a table using bellow statment

CREATE TABLE #STUDENT(ID INT, [NAME] NVARCHAR(50), EDUCATION NVARCHAR(20))

STEP 3: Now use the Bulk Insert Statement

BULK INSERT #STUDENT
FROM ‘D:\STUDENTS_LIST.txt’
WITH ( FIELDTERMINATOR = ‘,’, ROWTERMINATOR = ‘\n’ )

STEP 4: Check the table using bellow query

SELECT * FROM #STUDENT

DROP TABLE #STUDENT

and one more thing is using user defined table types in Sql Server 2008
