Hello all, I am trying to merge two sets of data, that will, most likely, be done daily however, I am not sure how to do it. It was suggested to me that it be done with a DTC script (which I have never used before) or I was thinking of a stored procedure. I am not sure how to write either one.
Here is what I need to accomplish:
What I need is a way take any of the records in the IIM_NHOsetupSheets table that have a 6 digit, numeric only value in Iprod and concatenate the IDesc field (and add a space) and the IDSCE field and write the result into the ToolDesc field of T_Tooling. Any records that exist in T_Tooling should be overwritten, any records that do not exist should be created.
I would also like to generate a log file that reports changes performed, but not absolutely necessary.
I can either connect to the original table located in the Data Warehouse, or I can connect to an instance that could be kept current with a MS-DTC process that can be located within the PM-Data database (my central database where T_Tooling is located). My data admin is pushing for the latter.
Table: IIM_nhosetupsheets
Fields:
Name Type Length
IPROD Char 15
IDESC Char 30
IDSCE Char 30
===============================
Table: T_Tooling
Fields:
Name Type Length
ToolID nvarchar 25
ToolDesc nvarchar 25
================================
I have worked with stored procedures before, that use Case...When logic, but nothing that would be this complex I think.
Any help is welcome.
