Populate
the Table with Query Analyzer and Create a Select Query
Let's
populate the new SubscriberDetails table by taking the next steps.
1.
From
Enterprise Manager, with the new table highlighted / selected, select Tools -> Query Analyzer from the main menu, as depicted in
Illustration 18.
Query
Analyzer opens,
selected to the new RS_Subscription database, as shown in Illustration
19.

Analyzer Appears, with the RS_Subscription Database Selected
NOTE: If necessary, select the RS_Subscription
database in the selector, as shown circled in Illustration 19 above.
2.
Type (or cut
and paste) the following script into the Query pane:
-- RS006: INSERT Query to Populate SubscriberDetails Table
INSERT INTO
dbo.SubscriberDetails (Participant, File_Share, Identification_No, Media_Format,
Parameter)
VALUES
('Damascus, Billy','\\MOTHER1\D$\RS_SubscriberShares\DamascusB','10059','EXCEL',
'Non-Consumable')
GO
INSERT INTO
dbo.SubscriberDetails (Participant, File_Share, Identification_No, Media_Format,
Parameter)
VALUES
('Adams, Victoria','\\MOTHER1\D$\RS_SubscriberShares\AdamsV','32981','PDF', 'Food')
GO
INSERT INTO
dbo.SubscriberDetails(Participant, File_Share, Identification_No, Media_Format,
Parameter)
VALUES
('Pearson, William E. III','\\MOTHER1\D$\RS_SubscriberShares\PearsonW3','04089','HTML4.0',
'Non-Consumable')
GO
INSERT INTO
dbo.SubscriberDetails(Participant, File_Share, Identification_No, Media_Format,
Parameter)
VALUES
('Dhue, Laurie','\\MOTHER1\D$\RS_SubscriberShares\DhueL','14761','IMAGE',
'Non-Consumable')
GO
Our
load script appears in the Query pane as depicted in Illustration 20.

Script in Query Analyzer
3.
Click the Execute
Query button, shown in Illustration 21.
Illustration 21: Click
the Execute Button ...
The
script executes, and we receive a "(1 row(s) affected)" message
for each of the four lines of the script in the Results pane.
4.
Save the
script, if desired, by clicking the Query pane (versus the Results
pane) and selecting File -->
Save As
from the main menu, and selecting an appropriate name for the .sql file, along
with a convenient location.
We can
easily verify the fact that the table is populated by going to Enterprise
Manager, but since we will need to create a query to supply necessary data
to the Data-Driven Subscription we will define later, let's use this query
to ascertain the fact that all data is in place in the SubscriberDetails
table.
5.
Click the New
Query button (see Illustration 22) in the main toolbar to open a new
Query pane.

the New Query Button ...
6.
Type the following
simple query into the Query pane:
SELECT *
FROM
dbo.SubscriberDetails
Our
query appears in the Query pane as depicted in Illustration 23.

Query in Query Analyzer (Compressed View)
7.
Click the Execute
Query button, once again.
The
script executes, and the Results pane is populated (Grid View),
as shown in Illustration 24.

Results in Grid View (Compressed View)
We thus
obtain confirmation from the results of the SELECT statement that our
table has been populated as we expected. We will save the query, so as to be
able to use it in our Data-Driven Subscription setup later.
8.
Save the SELECT
statement by clicking the Query pane (once again, versus the Results
pane) selecting File -->
Save As
from the main menu, and selecting an appropriate name for the .sql file, along
with a convenient location.
