I'm basically a database noob hoping to find a shortcut if at all possible.
I've created an ER diagram for a site I plan to build and have used that to
create the database in MS SQL 2000.
Now I want to import various data from (basically) excel spreadsheets (for
example, company names from a different sql dbase, addresses from excel and
phone numbers from a csv file) into the new database.
I have tried various methods outlined on web sites (including DTS) and have
learned I need to go back and create default values for essentially every
non-null field if I am to update literally any linked table.
My question is this: Is there any easy way/program via which I can import
the data to two different tables -- i.e. address into one table and
corresponding city into another table -- and have the relationship(s)
continue?
Or alternatively is there a "better/easy" way to do it inside sql once I
import the entire data into it's own single table?
Not to belabor the point (versus to more fully explain), but say I have two
data sets
[ Company Name | Address ]
and
[ Company Name | Phone ]
and I want to import them both into a database with separate three tables:
1. Company Name
2. Address
3. Phone
What is the least labour intensive way to effect this??
Thanks in advance 2 1872
Also, (though it is the same issue essentially) what if the first
dataset is Company Name, Address, City where each different city is
listed from 1 to ? number of times -- is there a way the dbase can
know that say New York only needs to be added once to a City table and
then the other tables just have a reference to that ID in the city
table?

I would create a table with columns (name, address, phone), import
into it, then use queries to copy its data to the other tables. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hi,
One of my clients has the following situation. They use Access DB for

the Access data quickly and more efficiently in SQL Server 2000. Huge
Access db with over 100 user tables, over 60 MB data.
The DTS package that comes with SQL Server 2000 seems pretty "messy"
in the sense that it assumes that one needs to do one time import only

I have an import spec set up with quoted Identifiers and comma-separated

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
