ALTER and UPDATE MS Sql table simutaneously

0 votes

I am trying to alter and update a table at the same time in a MS Sql database using Talend Open Studio for Data Integration. For that I am using a tMssqlRow component which allows multiple updates at a time. Following is the query I am using:

ALTER TABLE Test
ADD col1 int,col2 varchar(10)


UPDATE  Test set col1 = 23, col2 = 'MaxX';

But its not working. When I tried executing this query in MS Sql console, its giving me below error:

Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 5

Invalid column name 'col1'. Msg 207,

Level 16, State 1, Line 5

Invalid column name 'col2'.

Can someone suggest how to resolve this?

First of all, you can’t perform this in one statement. Following are two ways by which you can achieve the required output by using EXEC to run it in a child batch:

ALTER TABLE Test
 ADD col1 INT, col2 VARCHAR(10);

EXEC(“
UPDATE Test
SET    col1 = 23,
      col2 = “MaxX”;
   “);

OR

ALTER TABLE Test

ADD col1 INT NULL CONSTRAINT DF_Test_col1 DEFAULT 23 WITH VALUES, col2 VARCHAR(10) CONSTRAINT DF_Test_col2 NULL DEFAULT 'MaxX' WITH VALUES;
