sql error on switch

  • Hi all I am trying to Archive the old data using sliding window partitioning. i was in need to switch the two partition to same table.

    But, While trying i am getting error as below....

    Msg 4905, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

    ALTER TABLE SWITCH statement failed. The target table 'bank.dbo.tblFactsStaging' must be empty.

  • That's a very unambiguous message. What do you not understand about it? What statement are you running to get the error?

  • I was doing the partitioning the table.

    I was only able to switch the partition to the table only when it was empty.

    i was not able to switch the data when data is there meaning table is non empty.
