Hi,
What is the difference between
<Tablename> . . <ColumnName> and <Tablename> . <ColumnName>
this syntax we are using in Storedprocedures.
In SQL 2000, <Tablename> . . <ColumnName> is not working
Eg:
Tablename =a
Column Name = b
Difference between a..b and a.b
Can anyone let me know.
TIA,
Ravi
how to select all column names from sql whose columnvalue is '1' for a specific user
Howdy all,I'm trying to create a sproc that has the column name and search text as input parameters with dynamic SQL... what I have is:-- Create a variable @SQLStatementDECLARE @SQLStatement varchar(255)SELECT @SQLStatement = 'SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE (''' + @ColumnName + ''' = ''' + @SearchText + ''')'-- Execute the SQL statementEXEC(@SQLStatement)The procedure works (at least in Query Analyzer, once I declare/set @columnname and @searchtext) in that I don't get any errors. But it returns a blank table with "0 rows affected". However, if I hardcode the variables, it returns the proper data. What's wrong with my select statement?? Thanks!!JP

Hello all,
how can I select one or more columns from a table by column-index and NOT by columnname?
e.g.:
SELECT tbl1.[1], tbl1.[2], tbl1.[3] FROM Orders AS tbl1
and NOT like this:
SELECT tbl1.OrderNo, tbl1.ProductNo, tbl1.Price FROM Orders AS tbl1
Is that possible in MS-SQL 2000?
Thanks a lot in advance
kind regards

Hi folks, I have a little challenge for you, I hope :)
The short story is as follows: I have multiple rather well normalized tables, and a view which connect them all togheter. In one of the tables I have an xml column, which I in the view to varchar(4000), since SSIS doesn't like xml all that much. To make the view updateable I have an instead of trigger placed on it, which works quite perfectly from T-SQL. SSIS however, claims that I cannot insert to a read-only column. Does anyone have the slightest idea how I can get around this?
The only solution I can think of is having two columns for the XML data, one as varchar and the other as varchar, then having a trigger updating the xml column when the varchar is updated, but that would require recursive triggers, which I am not too happy with.
Cheers
I have created a SSIS pkg (datasource and flat file destination)
I need to have the flatfile renamed after each exec to a column name that exists in the table I am running the pkg against.
Where does the code get put to make this change after the file has been created?
Basically if I could run T-SQL after the file creation, I could make it work.
thx..

Hi,
i just migrated an database from oracle to sql server 2005 with the migration tool from microsoft (v3). the migration tool works only with uppercase table and column names, but i need them in lower case. is there a way to modify the names of tables and columns with t-sql to lower case?
Thx

Does anyone know the syntax to reference a table in a stored procedure using a parameter? I'm trying to make a stored procedure that will "SELECT INTO" a table as the passed parameter. I keep getting an syntax error when I use this:
CREATE PROCEDURE make_table
@tablename varchar(20)
AS
SELECT * FROM old_table
INTO @tablename
I've tried it several ways, but I can't get it to work, and I haven't found any examples of this anywhere. Thanks in advance for any tips.
I know there has already been a thread on this, but I want to push some about it.
In SQL Server, there is a command "SET IDENTITY_INSERT tablename ON".
That allows you to update IDENTITY columns, or do INSERTs that include IDENTITY columns. Although a work-around was given for this in the other thread (reset the IDENTITY seed to the desired value before each INSERT), that is a major pain.
In my database, I have a table that tracks charitable donors. They have a donornum, that is an IDENTITY column, and a year. Together, the donornum and the year form the primary key. Each year end, a copy is made of all donor records in one year, to form the next year's donors. They have to keep the same donornum, but they get a new year value of course. Adding new donors uses the donornum normally, incrementing the IDENTITY donornum value.
The advantage of this is that you can match up one year's donors with the previous year's, by joining on donornum. But I need there to be separate records, so they can have separately updated addresses, annual pledge amounts, etc.
Is there any way the SET IDENTITY_INSERT feature can be added to SQL Everywhere, or some other approach can be found that is less laborious than the existing work-around? (The problem with it is that if you have hundreds of donors to copy, you have to do one ALTER TABLE to reset the identity seed for each donor insert for the new year.)
Thanks.
I use IDENTITY(1,1)
and the help says:
SET IDENTITY_INSERT tablename ON
But if the table is an variable(virtual) table how to make it work?
Like this:
DECLARE @TEMPtable table ( ID int Identity(1,1), invar nvarchar(255)
It does not work with
SET IDENTITY_INSERT @TEMPtable ON
I get this
'Incorrect syntax near '@TEMPtable '

this mean that my table name query returned table name but i cant use this name in any other query (i think because of daclaring alias "insqlhelp, insqlhelp2")
other way is
set to any other text variable to table name,

and execute with exec

I am currently using a cursor to scroll through sysobjects to extract table names and then extracting relevant column names from syscolumns.
I then need to run the following script:
declare Detail_Cursor cursor for
select @colname, max(len(@colname)) from @table
The message I receive is "must declare variable @table".
Immediately prior to this script I printed out the result of @table which works fine so the variable obviously is declared and populated.
Can anyone let me know what I'm doing wrong or how I can get the same result.
Thanks

HiCan someone please shed some light as to how this can be done. With the below sql statement as you can see I don't want to declare the table name but would rather the table name be passed in via a parameter. I've tried declaring it as a varchar parameter but it doesnt seem to like it if I don't add a valid table name. Any ideas how this can be done.

Hi,
I am new to SQL Server, and this may be a silly problem .. but here goes!
I need to create tables based on the date ie FEB2000 for EOM reports, I thought I may be able to do it by
1) Check if Table Exists, if so fop it
2) Recreate Table
3) Populate it with data
Unfortunately I'm still on step 1 <sad look>
--->
CREATE PROCEDURE TEST AS
DECLARE @TableName varchar(50)
SET @Tablename = 'FEB2000'
IF EXISTS(SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_NAME = @Tablename)
DROP TABLE @tablename
GO
<---
I would of course hand the table name as a variable, but for testing purposes used a set variable.
Thanks in Advance
Hi All,
I am facing a unique problem, In my DB all tables which has nvarchar datatype columns. When i see any table in EM design mode it shows length of navrchar datatype column correct.
But if i see same table through QA using sp_help tablename
then it will show length of my nvarchar column just double.
when i see all my nvarchar columns in syscolumns it will display the length of my nvarchar columns just double then actual.
i dont know where exactly the problem. Because of that my tester are getting wrong table information through my data dictionary whic i created using sysobects,syscolumns,sysproperties.
can anybody tell where is the problem exaqctly ?

I have read through BOL but am still confused by the above sql. I think it rebuilds all indexes on a table. Am I correct? (If so, if would seem to be a good thing to run it nightly on all tables in all databases. Or maybe that is too extreme)
