I have a ##table (dynamic openquery to oracle - don't ask) but am unable to see the dataset schema in the dataset window
I've tried putting FMTONLY statements in - no difference
I've also tried changing the query to be text e.g. EXEC proc @param,..... - no difference
Anyone know of a workaround?
Does anyone know where I can get a digram showing the database schemas for all of the system database. I need to know the realtionship between tables in the system databases. Would like to download something from the internet preferably, or if someone has something they can e-mail?

I've a stored procedure which returns different number of fields depending on the input parameter.
create proc spSample (@rtnValue bit)
as
if @rtnValue = 0
begin
select field1, field2 from tablename
end
else
begin
select field1, field2, field3, field4 from tablename
end
Have a report execute this stored procedure, set the parameter value = True. Test the query, it returns all the fields as expected. However, on the fields tab of Dataset it always shows field1, and field2 no matter what; I manually add field3 and field4 under Report Datasets tree and they disappear after each execution. Anyway, I'm able to set the report fields as long as I don't refresh the query.
Is this the bug in SSRS? or am I missing something?
Thanks,

Hi.
I am currently working With SSRS . I have created a Store Procedure To show Data from different table in my Database,I have Used a temp table with #xxx Name,when i am creating DataSet for this Store procedure . but its not Showing the Fields of Store Procedure, but when i create other Store procedure without temp table with #xxx then its showing the fields in Data Set.
What Could be the possible Reason,
Thanks
I have managed to cobble up a VS2005 PPC app that has 10 or so tables in it. Of course when I started binding to the tables in my app, pretty soon I ran into an error I had made defining a datatype for a column in one table. Single instead of string. I have spent most of the day trying to modify something to change this column datatype. No luck.
1. Seems you cannot edit the schema in VS2005 to modify the datatype. After messing around, now the project will not open at all.
2. Cannot get the ADS wizard to go anymore, so cannot make .mdb schema change and pull down updated column/table.
3. Thought SQL Server 2005 had a tool you could just open up a .sdf file and change the schema. No luck. At least no intuitive way showed itself after I installed it.
4. Thought SQL Server Express Editition could open such a .sdf file and modify it so installed it. Again, could not figure out how this works either.
I suppose I could start over from scratch and create a new app datasource/dataset in VS2005, but I have done that so many times before, I am getting crabby thinking about doing it again. There must be a better way??? Isn't there?
Thank you.
Hello,I'm using a typed dataset to access my database (SQL Express); I have a table that returns data, which two fields are null; I'm getting this error:{"Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints."}There are no foreign-key or unique key constraints, so it has to be a non-null issue; I changed the two fields in the table to have a null value of Empty instead of Throw Exception, but I don't understand what the problem is coming from... I'm at a loss.Thanks.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have some questions about creating SQL Server CE databases. Based on my experiments and what I've read on these forums, it looks like there are a couple ways to create a database schema. I can edit the database schema via the Server Explorer in Visual Studio, or use an external program like SQL Server Management Studio and somehow convert those files to .sdf files.
I find Visual Studio's built in tools to be cumbersome to use and limited in functionality, and using SSMS seems like a roundabout way of approaching the problem. I understand Microsoft will be releasing better tools with Orcas, but in the meantime, I'm wondering if there are alternative ways to generate database schemas.
For instance, I find Visual Studio's DataSet designer fairly easy to use. The DataSet designer generates schema definitions (.xsd files), and an instantiated DataSet can both read and write schema definitions via Read/WriteXMLSchema. Furthermore, DataAdapter's Fill and FillSchema methods can be used to push a schema from a database to a DataSet. So, can I somehow go the other direction and push a schema from a DataSet to a database? It seems like all the tools are there...
For example, if I create the DataSet schema, could I use a small app to create a new .sdf file, instantiate a DataSet, write the schema from the DataSet to the database, and then save the .sdf file? Or given the generated .xsd file, is there any way to create a SQL database from that?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
All- I'm a newbie working on a VWD project. A couple questions arose when attempting to work with a project's dataset and its underlying SQL Server Express database:
Is it true that when changing the schema of a database in SQL Server Express through the VWD Database Explorer, one must take care to manually make parallel changes in the dataset? For example, if you make a relation between two tables in Database Explorer, you must do the same with the counterpart tables in the dataset? For example, I find that if I delete or create a relationship between two tables in the database, I must manually do the same in the dataset.
I have query which retrieves multiple column vary from 5 to 15 based on input parameter passed.I am using table to map all this column.If column is not retrieved in the dataset(I am not talking abt Null data but column is completely missing) then I want to hide it in my report.
Can I do that??
Any reply showing me the right way is appricited.

I’ve got a situation where the columns in a table we’re grabbing from a source database keep changing as we need more information from that database. As new columns are added to the source table, I would like to dynamically look for those new columns and add them to our local database’s schema if new ones exist. We’re dropping and creating our target db table each time right now based on a pre-defined known schema, but what we really want is to drop and recreate it based on a dynamic schema, and then import all of the records from the source table to ours.It looks like a starting point might be EXEC sp_columns_rowset 'tablename' and then creating some kind of dynamic SQL statement based on that. However, I'm hoping someone might have a resource that already handles this that they might be able to steer me towards.Sincerely,

Hi guys,
The below query should produce all those customers who are in 'orginalerrorfiles' but not in 'hopefullyworks2'. 3 fields will be used as the check to make sure that the rows, that r identical won't be displayed but those that r different will be displayed.
Instead of doing that it just display everything in the table called 'orginalerrorfiles'.
Note 'orginalerrorfiles' consist of 141455 rows
'hopefullyworks2' consist of 134784 rows
select o.card_no
,o.ref_no
,o.tran_val
from OriginalErrorFiles o
where exists (select h.card_no
,h.ref_no
,h.tran_val
from hopefullyworks2 h
where( h.card_no = o.card_no and
h.ref_no=o.ref_no and
h.tran_val = o.tran_val
))
I have created a System DSN using the SQL Server ODBC driver and configured it to point to my server and database.
When I access the newly created DSN, it should show the tables listing. However, I get the following screen:

Why am I getting this instead of the tables listing and how do I fix it?

we have a table in our ERP database and we copy data from this table into another "stage" table on a nightly basis. is there a way to dynamically alter the schema of the stage table when the source table's structure is changed? in other words, if a new column is added to the source table, i would like to add the column to the stage table during the nightly refresh.

I'd like to create a temporary table with the same schema as an exiting table. How can I do this without hard coding the column definitions into the temporary table definition?
I'd like to do something like:
CREATE TABLE #tempTable LIKE anotherTable
..instead of...
CREATE TABLE #tempTable (id INT PRIMARY KEY, created DATETIME NULL etc...
I'm sure there must be a simple way to do this!
Many thanks,

I have just installed SQL Server 7 on a server. Everything was installed fine without any errors. The only problem occurs when I use Enterprise Manager, I right click on a table in the Northwinds database to open table and return all rows. The form pops up and no rows appear. Nothing in the table form works. I can view the records from Query Analyzer, and can also view them through Enterprise Manager when using a workstation client. This problem only occurs at the server. Any thoughts.

i have a table inwhich there are three columns heading1, heading2, heading3...now this table is linked to a tree table which has columns headingid, headingname, and parentid
The link between the table1 and table 2 be
heading1 = headingid OR
heading2= headingid OR
heading3= headingid
is there a way I can show this on my database diagram??? (I know this is against normalisation, but the database was written by someone else...)
Hi Madhu,
my table does not have primary key so i created a seperate index on each of the table.
I used the recommended tablediff utility and it works successfully. But its only show the difference of records in each table and does not copy rows from source to destination and destination to source table. I was expecting database1.dbo.table1 contains same records as in database1.dbo.table2.

Can you write a short script for my problem, just like comparison of database1.dbo.table1 compares in database2.dbo.table2 and which ever records not present it should copy those and vice-versa.
It means Database1.dbo.table1 contains 5 records
Database2.dbo.table2 contains 5 records

Hi ,
I have a database with a table name called @budget_tot.
When I run a query in report designer --dataset, it throws an error thinking this is a variable rather
than a table.
Same query works without error in SQL 2005 query window.
example Query;
Select T1.U_Budget From [@budet_tot] T1

Hi
I come from a MySQL background and have been having some trouble finding the MSSQL command that corresponds to MySQL's "describe." I Googled for around 1/2 hour but can't seem to find it.
Any help appreciated
Hey,
I'm looking at creating a table in a stored procedure
[declare @tempTable table]
however, rather than then declaring the tables schema
[declare @tempTable table (pkField IDENTITY (1,1), SomeOtherField varchar(50), ...)]
I'd like it to simply use the schema of an already existing table (plus an additional column).
Is there a way to do this without having to manually write the table schema?
A simple example is:
I have a table
OriginalTable (idCol, NameCol, InfoCol)
I'd like to create a temp instance of that table called tempTable which would have a final schema of
tempTable (idCol, NameCol, InfoCol, myTempCol)
The reason I'd like to do this using the schema is so that I don't need to update all my procedures in the future when we decide to add some more detail to the originaltable which needs to be selected as well.
Thanks a lot for any help or direction you can provide.

We currently have all tables in the dbo schema, but for organizational reason we would like to split them up in multiple schemas and I wonder if that can be done without re-creating the tables.
So my question is, is there a way to move a table into a different schema without re-creating it? (For those familiar with Postgres I'm looking for an equivalent to "ALTER TABLE foo SET SCHEMA newschema") sp_rename only allows a "one-part name" for the new name, so apparently that cannot be used.
I have created a table on SQL Server from SAS. The table gets created fine. However, the table schema has my user ID in it (AD-ENTmyuserid.Table1). How can I change the schema to dbo.(dbo.Table1)? It's fine if I have to make this change in SQL Server Management Studio.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am a bit confused and wish to share this with you for help. We are designing a billing application to bill telephone calls. It currently handles a single rate plan. So what it does is that it looks up the RATES table and matches the called number area code with the RATES.ACCESS_Code field to find the tariff for that area and multiplies that by the number of minutes. Here is the current schema.
CALLS
•ID (pkid)
•Called Number
•Duration
RATES
•Destination Name
•Access_Code (pkid)
•Tariff
Now the problem is that we need to process calls based on RATES per OPERATOR. Each operator is a telephony carrier with similar RATES. However, each call will be prefixed with a number to indicate which operator carried that call. Accordingly, the database should relate that prefix with the proper operator and then looks up the RATES that are related to that operator.
In conclusion we will have a replica of the RATES table for multiple operators. An operator is only supposed to have two fields I guess (name and ID).
So now we need to re-engineer the schema to adapt to this situation.
Eg. 95004433313445 (Will be identified as BT operator)
93004422376234 (Will be identified as AT&T operator)
Can anyone help please?
PS: we are using SQL Express 2005
Thanks

Simply looking for confirmation here - is my syntax correct?
