Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to sql and right now I am struggling with a script. I am trying to extract data from a normal table into a temporary table, update it in the temporary table, then put it back into the normal table. I'll display my code, let me know what you think, any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks a lot.


Create table scripts (
UserID int,
UserName char(50),
ScrRan char(50),
StartTime datetime default getdate(),
EndTime datetime);

Create table errors (
ID int,
UserName char(50),
UserLogin char(50),
ErrorNumber int,
Message char(100),
TimeOfError datetime default getdate());

declare @error int
declare @msg varchar(100)
declare @startTime datetime
declare @endTime datetime

select @startTime = getDate()

SELECT *
INTO #Temp
FROM Publisher
WHERE pub_Name = 'Scene Publishing'

UPDATE #Temp
SET pub_Name = UPPER(pub_Name)


SELECT *
INTO Publisher
FROM #Temp


--Begins Error Checking Routine
select @error = @@error

IF @error <> 0
BEGIN
select @msg ='error: ' + convert(varchar(7), @error) +
''
insert into errors values (@@SPID, USER, USER_NAME(), @error,
@msg, getDate())
END
ELSE
BEGIN
select @endTime = getDate()

insert into scripts values (@@SPID, SYSTEM_USER, @startTime, @endTime)
END
select * from errors
select * from scripts

Why not simply UPDATE your table?

UPDATE Publisher SET pub_Name = UPPER(pub_Name) WHERE pub_Name = 'Scene Publishing'

This "assignment" I am working on requires me to put data into a temp table, then update a regular table with the data I put into the temp table that I am supposed to modify. :X
