Hi all,
Any thoughts on the best way to run an update query to update a specific
list of records where all records get updated to same thing. I would think
a temp table to hold the list would be best but am also looking at the
easiest for an end user to run. The list of items is over 7000
Example:
update imitmidx_sql set activity_cd = 'O', activity_dt = '20060601',
prod_cat = 'OBS' where item_no = '001-LBK'
update imitmidx_sql set activity_cd = 'O', activity_dt = '20060601',
prod_cat = 'OBS' where item_no = '001-LYE'
update imitmidx_sql set activity_cd = 'O', activity_dt = '20060601',
prod_cat = 'OBS' where item_no = '001-XLBK'
update imitmidx_sql set activity_cd = 'O', activity_dt = '20060601',
prod_cat = 'OBS' where item_no = '001-XLYE'
update imitmidx_sql set activity_cd = 'O', activity_dt = '20060601',
prod_cat = 'OBS' where item_no = '002-LGR'
update imitmidx_sql set activity_cd = 'O', activity_dt = '20060601',
prod_cat = 'OBS' where item_no = '002-LRE'
All records get set to same. I tried using an IN list but this was
significantly slower:
update imitmidx_sql set activity_cd = 'O', activity_dt = '20060601',
prod_cat = 'OBS'
where item_no in
('001-LBK',
'001-LYE',
'001-XLBK',
'001-XLYE',
'002-LGR',
'002-LRE')
Thanks

Yes, IN gives bad peformance here. Not so much because of the operation
itself, but the time it takes to compute the query plan. If you would
run exactly the same statement again, it would be snap. But obviously
there is little reason to do that.
Yes, a temp table to hold all the item numbers would be better.
You say that you are looking for something which is easy for an
end user to run. But does end user run the SQL directly? Is there
no GUI?

Put the working data into a working table with an index on it and try
this:
UPDATE Imitmidx
SET activity_cd = 'O',
activity_dt = '2006-06-01',
prod_cat = 'OBS'
WHERE item_no
IN (SELECT item_no FROM WorkingData);
You can also add constraints for data scrubbing to WorkingData.
The end user is a customer and not familiar with SQL so I was looking for
the least number of steps. I could have created separate scripts or one big
script to create a temp table, populate the table, then update records. My
original script with 7000 lines of update statements seemed the easiest.
Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I have to make a (case-insensitive) search from a form with only one
search string,
e.g. "Doe Peters english California",
which will search in several fields of my table for each word.
My fields that are searchable by this query are:
nr smallint(5)
company varchar(100)

Wanted to know what is the most efficient way of doing a select query

That doesn't seem efficient. How should I do it? Or is this as efficient

Hi,
I need to insert more than 500,000 records at the end of the day in a C#
application. I need to finish it as soon as possible.
I created a stored procedure and called it from ADO to insert one by one. It
is kind of slow (seems slower than using a DTS package to import from a file).
Just a general question, in ADO, what will be the MOST efficient way to do
this work. I normally do it as I described. I am using .NET framework 1.1
