Hi all,
I am trying to insert data from one table to another table which is easy. But i have two situations where first i have to load all the previous data from the source then once i loaded all previous data then i only want to retrieve data from previous day. this process will be run schedule every night to extract previous data data only. my question is what SQL condition should i use for both queries (one query to extract all previous data and second query will extract previous data and will run the second step on wards every night).Hope everyone understand the question. Please reply.

One thing I would do when loading the data is to timestamp the new records when inserting them.

DECLARE @TimeNow DATE = GETDATE(); -- sets the value of the variable to current date

INSERT INTO SomeTable(Col1, Col2,...TimeStamp) VALUES (val1, val2, ... @TimeNow);

Then getting yesterday's data is trivial:

SELECT ...

FROM MyTable

WHERE DateStamp = DATEADD(d,-1,GETDATE());

1- simple select query to extract the data from source and insert into destination table.

2- the query should run first time and load all the data from the source.

3- query run after the first time and onwards should only extract data for the same day (the query will run every night as schedule job to extract data from source for the same day only. note that the query ran first time will need to extract all the old data from the source as mentioned in first point.)

4- i think the same query can be put in to two different IF conditions based on the source table date column (note: source table date column is used to insert record based on the system date)

Please reply.

Can you please post the CREATE TABLE script for the source table, including any constraints/defaults/indexes? Cheers.
