Case Study: Importing New Data Without Emptying Existing Tables

  • Article

The challenge for Robert Marda was to devise a way to keep the data available at all times while importing the new data, detect if a full or daily update was received and run appropriate data pumps, put in sufficient fail safes to ensure bad data would not get imported, and to make the process automatic including notification to pagers upon failure. Robert shows you how he did it here.

Question of the Day

Comparing Images

I am building an ETL process between these tables in SQL Server 2022 set to 160 compatibility level:

CREATE TABLE Image_Staging
( imageid     INT NOT NULL CONSTRAINT Image_StagingPK PRIMARY KEY
, imagestatus TINYINT
, imagebinary IMAGE);
GO

CREATE TABLE Images
( imageid       INT NOT NULL CONSTRAINT ImagesPK PRIMARY KEY
, imagestatus   TINYINT
, imagemodified DATETIME
, imagebinary   IMAGE);
GO
I want to run this query to check if the images already loaded exist. This will help me decide if I need to insert or update an image. What happens with this query?
SELECT i.imageid
FROM
  dbo.Image_Staging AS ist
  INNER JOIN dbo.Images AS i
    ON ist.imagebinary = i.imagebinary;
