Creating the HumanResources.myTeam Table

Many of the code examples in Importing and Exporting Bulk Data require a special-purpose test table named myTeam. Before you can run the examples, you must create the myTeam table in the HumanResources schema of the AdventureWorks database.

Note

AdventureWorks is one of the sample databases in SQL Server 2005. Adventure Works Cycles is a fictional manufacturing company used to demonstrate database concepts and scenarios. For more information about this database, see Samples and Sample Databases.

The myTeam table is contains the following columns.

Column	Data type	Nullability	Description
EmployeeID	smallint	Not null	Primary key for the rows. Employee ID of a member of my team.
Name	nvarchar(50)	Not null	Name of a member of my team.
Title	nvarchar(50)	Nullable	Title the employee performs on my team.
Background	nvarchar(50)	Not null	Date and time the row was last updated. (Default)

To create HumanResources.myTeam

• Use the following Transact-SQL statements:

  --Create HumanResources.MyTeam: 
  USE AdventureWorks;
  GO
  CREATE TABLE HumanResources.myTeam 
  (EmployeeID smallint NOT NULL,
  Name nvarchar(50) NOT NULL,
  Title nvarchar(50) NULL,
  Background nvarchar(50) NOT NULL DEFAULT ''
  );
  GO
  

To populate HumanResources.myTeam

• Execute following INSERT statements to populate the table with two rows:

  USE AdventureWorks;
  GO
  INSERT INTO HumanResources.myTeam(EmployeeID,Name,Title,Background)
     VALUES(77,'Mia Doppleganger','Administrative Assistant','Microsoft Office');
  GO
  INSERT INTO HumanResources.myTeam(EmployeeID,Name,Title,Background)
     VALUES(49,'Hirum Mollicat','I.T. Specialist','Report Writing and Data Mining');
  GO
  

  Note

  These statements skip the fourth column, Background. This has a default value. Skipping this column causes this INSERT statement to leave this column blank.
