This type of update statement is a bit complicated than the usual structures. In the following sections, we will learn how to write this type of update query with different methods, but at first, we have to prepare our sample data. With the help of the following query, we will create Persons and AddressList tables and populate them with some synthetic data.
These two tables have a relationship through the PersonId column, meaning that, in these two tables, the PersonId column value represents the same person. In this method, the table to be updated will be joined with the reference secondary table that contains new row values. So that, we can access the matched data of the reference table based on the specified join type.
Lastly, the columns to be updated can be matched with referenced columns and the update process changes these column values. After the execution of the update from a select query the output of the Persons table will be as shown below;. After the SET keyword, we specified the column names to be updated, and also, we matched them with the referenced table columns.
After the FROM clause, we retyped the table name, which will be updated. In addition to this, we can specify a WHERE clause and filter any columns of the referenced or updated table. We can also rewrite the query by using aliases for tables. Indexes are very helpful database objects to improve query performance in SQL Server. Particularly, if we are working on the performance of the update query, we should take into account of this probability.
The following execution plan illustrates an execution plan of the previous query. The only difference is that this query updated the 3. This query was completed within 68 seconds. Only the rows returned by the common table expression are modified. Other tables participating in the cursor are not affected. The example doubles the value in the ListPrice column for all rows in the Product table. The following example uses the variable NewPrice to increment the price of all red bicycles by taking the current price and adding 10 to it.
The following example uses a subquery in the SET clause to determine the value that is used to update the column. The subquery must return only a scalar value that is, a single value per row. The following example sets the CostRate column to its default value 0. Examples in this section demonstrate how to update rows by specifying a view, table alias, or table variable. The following example updates rows in a table by specifying a view as the target object. The view definition references multiple tables, however, the UPDATE statement succeeds because it references columns from only one of the underlying tables.
For more information, see Modify Data Through a View. The follow example updates rows in the table Production. Examples in this section demonstrate methods of updating rows from one table based on information in another table. The previous example assumes that only one sale is recorded for a specified salesperson on a specific date and that updates are current. If more than one sale for a specified salesperson can be recorded on the same day, the example shown does not work correctly.
The example runs without error, but each SalesYTD value is updated with only one sale, regardless of how many sales actually occurred on that day. In the situation in which more than one sale for a specified salesperson can occur on the same day, all the sales for each sales person must be aggregated together within the UPDATE statement, as shown in the following example:.
Examples in this section demonstrate how to update rows in a remote target table by using a linked server or a rowset function to reference the remote table.
The following example updates a table on a remote server. The linked server name, MyLinkedServer , is then specified as part of the four-part object name in the form server. Note that you must specify a valid server name for datasrc. The linked server name created in the previous example is used in this example.
For more information, see ad hoc distributed queries Server Configuration Option. Examples in this section demonstrate methods of updating values in columns that are defined with large object LOB data types. The following example uses the. Document table. The word components is replaced with the word features by specifying the replacement word, the starting location offset of the word to be replaced in the existing data, and the number of characters to be replaced length. The following examples add and remove data from an nvarchar max column that has a value currently set to NULL.
Because the. This data is then replaced with the correct data by using the. WRITE clause. The additional examples append data to the end of the column value, remove truncate data from the column and, finally, remove partial data from the column. The following example replaces an existing image stored in a varbinary max column with a new image. This example assumes that a file named Tires. We do not recommend this method for streaming large amounts of data to a file.
Person" and "Test. We will also create a primary — foreign key constraint to link the two tables. Finally, we will populate the tables with data from the existing Person. Person and Person. Address tables provided in the Adventurworks database. This would allow us to work with and manipulate the data without disturbing any tables that pre-exist in the database. In our test environment, we want to update all the rows in the "City" and "PostalCode" columns in the "Test.
Person" table with the correct and corresponding data from the "Test. PersonAddress" table. Since each tuple in each row is unique, we could use the standard form "update — set" method, but that would take too long since it will have to be done one row at a time.
Using this method, we will update the values in the "City" and "PostalCode" columns of the customers table with the data held in the "City" and "PostalCode" columns of the "Test. With the SET keyword, we specified which columns in the target table we want updated and set them to equal the values found in the source table, matching the columns by aliases.
We could take it a step further by adding a WHERE clause to filter out any columns from the referenced or updated tables. This will allow for updating only certain rows while leaving the other rows untouched.
For example, if you only wanted to update the tuples in the Test. So, I am returning rows 21 through 26 for the sake of clarity in the result set. Feel free to alter the code to suit your needs. The MERGE statement can be very useful for synchronizing the target table with data from any source table that has the correct corresponding data and datatypes.
We listed the Test. Find centralized, trusted content and collaborate around the technologies you use most. Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search. Recently I had a deadlock problem because Sql Server locks more then necessary page. You can't really do anything against it. Now we are catching deadlock exceptions Edit: We are using snapshot isolation meanwhile, which solves many, but not all of the problems. Unfortunately, to be able to use snapshot isolation it must be allowed by the database server, which may cause unnecessary problems at customers site.
Now we are not only catching deadlock exceptions which still can occur, of course but also snapshot concurrency problems to repeat transactions from background processes which cannot be repeated by the user. But this still performs much better than before. I have a similar problem, I want to lock only 1 row. So, if you don't define a index to direct access to the row, all the preceded rows will be locked. In your example:. Asume that you have a table named TBL with an id field. You need to define a index for the field id or any other fields that are involved in you select :.
You cannot have snapshot isolation and blocking reads at the same time. The purpose of snapshot isolation is to prevent blocking reads. The full answer could delve into the internals of the DBMS. It depends on how the query engine which executes the query plan generated by the SQL optimizer operates. You can also run into problems if the DBMS applies page-level locking by default; locking one row locks the entire page and all the rows on that page.
There are some ways you could debunk this as the source of trouble. The database does not have to be in single-user mode. OK, a single select wil by default use "Read Committed" transaction isolation which locks and therefore stops writes to that set.
You can change the transaction isolation level with. The escalation goes to page, then table lock. I'm assuming you don't want any other session to be able to read the row while this specific query is running Question - is this case proven to be the result of lock escalation i.
If so, there is a full explanation and a rather extreme workaround by enabling a trace flag at the instance level to prevent lock escalation. If you are deliberately locking a row and keeping it locked for an extended period, then using the internal locking mechanism for transactions isn't the best method in SQL Server at least. All the optimization in SQL Server is geared toward short transactions - get in, make an update, get out. That's the reason for lock escalation in the first place.
So if the intent is to "check out" a row for a prolonged period, instead of transactional locking it's best to use a column with values and a plain ol' update statement to flag the rows as locked or not.
Application locks are one way to roll your own locking with custom granularity while avoiding "helpful" lock escalation. MSSQL often escalates those row locks to page-level locks even table-level locks, if you don't have index on field you are querying , see this explanation. So the advice on that site is not applicable to your problem. I solved the rowlock problem in a completely different way.
