Hello,
How can I give default value to a field in a table which is already created, i.e. there is a table test and it have field test1 which is int(4). Now, I want to give a default value 0 to this field. As I am not able to access Enterprise Manager, I want to do it using Query Analyzer. How can I do this using Query Analyzer?
Thanks in advance,
Uday.
Not sure why SQL Server displays different date formats for the same date in Enterprise Manager query window vs. SQL Query Analyzer.
When I see table rows through enterprise manager the date field looks like 3/18/2008 12:30:00 PM
Whereas when I run a query a query in Query Analyser/or through any other application the date is shown in a different format: 2008-03-18 12:30:00.000
Is there a setting in SQL Server that can remove the date format inconsistency?
how can I have a default filters in my Excel PowerPivot Table, without the user need to select them in Excel creating with DAX Language.

What I'd like to happen is for the current date and an Autonumber generated as soon as the user enters a value in another field. This was fairly straightforward in Access. When I try to set the default in design table (inSQL), the date() is not available. After a little research I came up with CREATE DEFAULT and Bind column commands, Global variables, etc.
I have a couple of questions for anyone that might know:
Is there an easier way than this to create default values in a table? AND,
Would I also have to bind columns for Table lookups? For example, if I wanted a price to be returned after the product ID was entered (Automatic in Access if relationship/form setup properly), would I have to bind the column? Or would it happen automatically?
Can Query Analyzer deal with this or not???

i have a problem In Query Analyzer .When I create two diffrent table with two diffrent schemas dbo and guest but when i log on query analyzer and run query from guest schema's tahle it gives error object not found i think its some rights problem ..
I am trying to import a sql table with Query Analyzer. I opened up the Query Analyzer, found the sql table I needed, opened it and it read everything in the table. I see the execution script that defines the headers and the data type for all the columns and the information populated below that. So I told it to "Run".
It says it is executing the query batch, I see the globe spinning like it is doing something, it says it is on line 10, row 43 (whatever that means), so it appears to be still working.
I stopped one of the Query Analyzers and noticed this message: "The name 'T' is not permitted in this context. Only constants, expressions, or variables allowed here. Column names are not permitted"
One of the many lines that it began having issues with this is:
insert into TABLENAME values(1,'AAVS','ANALYZER','S310','','357C','855','776493','DIG VID ANLZR CORE MOD','P','VOTE5WBKAA',207610,'207610--1','CO','','1','','1','S310','ADVANCED AUDIO VISUAL SYSTEMS',T);
It appears that it does not much care for the 'T' at the end of each row. Is this required? Is there a way to take it out of the entire table before running it again?
Is there a way to choose what information I want to populate?
Currently the header script shows this:
CREATE TABLE TABLENAME (
BCKEY Numeric,
MFG Character(4),
DWG Character(11),
LIST Character(25),
SERIES Character(6),
FRC Character(5),
ECN Character(3),
CPR Character(6),
DSC Character(22),
EQTYPE Character(2),
CLEI Character(10),
ECI Numeric,
BARCODE Character(9),
OS Character(2),
OFC Character(2),
UC Character(2),
FILLER Character(8),
INDCODE Character(1),
PN Character(25),
EPN Character(39),
DWGNN Logical);
insert into TABLENAME values(1,'AAVS','ANALYZER','S310','','357C','855','776493','DIG VID ANLZR CORE MOD','P','VOTE5WBKAA',207610,'207610--1','CO','','1','','1','S310','ADVANCED AUDIO VISUAL SYSTEMS',T);
What if I only want some of these fields? Is there a way to tell it that I only want: BCKEY, MFG, LIST, SERIES, DSC, EQTYPE, CLEI, PN & EPN? The rest I do not want, so can I take the rest out somehow?
Thanks,

Hi All !I open a table in Query Analyzer by right clicking on it andselecting 'Open' and when the data is displayed in the view pane Iwould like to be able to edit it. It seems however that tables markedas read only (as shown on the top bar e.g. SQL Query Analyzer - [OpenTable ServerName.DBName.dbo.TableName(read-only)] ) can not be editedwhereas the one that do not have that attribute infront of the name Ican edit. Is there a way I can change the read only attribute of atable so that I can edit data directly in the view pane?Please let me know if there is !Thanks a heap ! :)Harkirat

The default location where db's are created is almost full.
Is there any way to change the default location where the .mdf and .ldf are created when I create a new db? I know I can do this when I create a new db and go select where I want it to be, but can I make it default to a different directory automatically so no human intervention is needed?

I need to add a child table that will tell us who the participants counselor is, what I did was I did a Make Table query based off the primary key of the Parent table and made that the link (foreign key) for the People_tbl and the Counselor_tbl, so if the counselor changes then the user adds the record to the counselor tbl and then puts in the Effective date. The problem is that when I run a report it doesn't show the present counselor always shows the old counselor?
Code:
SELECT Student_ind.StudentFirstName, Student_ind.StudentLastName, Student_ind.[Student ID], People_tbl.[Family ID], People_tbl.FirstName,
People_tbl.LastName, People_tbl.[Parent ID]
FROM People_tbl RIGHT OUTER JOIN
Student_ind ON People_tbl.[Family ID] = Student_ind.[Family ID]
WHERE (People_tbl.LastName = @Enter_LastName) AND (People_tbl.FirstName = @Enter_FirstName)

I have created an asmx web service that deserializes a JSON string and should execute stored procedures in SQL Server Express 2005, the database is a mdf file. I have created a System DSN which works fine, I have allowed the remote connections and TCP/IP and created the firewall exceptions for sqlserver and sqlbrowser. I believe there's an issue with my connection string, I have tried everything and it still won't connect.
I had another running example but that was on a previous install of Windows XP Pro SP1 with login and this asmx web service worked fine. I run Windows XP Pro SP2 without a login now so I guess I can't use Integrated Security=true or Trusted Connection=yes but does anybody know the default login of a database created in Windows Visual Developer Express?

I am new to SQL and have an issue I can not figure out. I have a query with several JOINS, but know my boss is asking for me to add an entire table to my query to view results. Is it possible to add a table to a query with joins? I have tried subquery but I get an EXIST error message. The only way I was able to get the information was join the table and enter every single column to my query. I hope there is an easier and more efficent way of doing this.
Thanks,
Hi
i have a database with several tables and i want to create a Insert query. and i do this by adding the tables to a dataset and create the relations between them and now i click on the table i want to create a query for and select Add Query. and then the TableAdapter Query configuration Wizard pops-up. but the problem is that in the query builder i can add ONLY ONE table, why? i need to add more than one table in order to make my query.
This is how this problem accured: At first i had to two databases, the first database i created myself and there i had all my tables and the second database was the one that contained all the membership info(this database is the one that visual studio creates automaticly for you when u are using the membership thing ASPNETDB.MDF). so i decided to only have one database and i re-created all my tables in the aspnetdb.mfd database, that is where this problem accured, that i can add only one table in the query builder.
appreciate any help :) tnx
HiI have a table that currently has 466 columns and about 700,000records. Adding a new DEFAULT column to this table takes a long time.It it a lot faster to recreate the table with the new columns and thencopy all of the data across.As far as I am aware when you add a DEFAULT column the followinghappens:a) The column is added with a NULL propertyb) Each row is updated to be set to the DEFAULT valuec) The column is changed to NOT NULL.However, adding the column as NOT NULL with the DEFAULT seems to take alot longer than if I do steps a) - c) separately.When I say a long time, adding just a single DEFAULT column takesaround 6 hours. Surely it should not take this long?There is a trigger on this table but disabling this does not seem tomake much difference.Can anybody give me any advice on the use of DEFAULT columns please?When should they be used, benefits, disadvantages, alternatives etc.Also should it really take as long as it is taking or is there aproblem with my setup?If I am honest I can't see why DEFAULT columns should be used as thevalues could always be inserted explicitly via the applicationThanks in Advance.Paul
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi guys,
I have this problem. I want to add a new primary key to a table but i want the name of the contstraint to be generated by the system. I have this TSQL code.
ALTER TABLE TableTest
ADD CONSTRAINT PRIMARY KEY (C1)
Reading the BOL, it says that if you don't supply a name for the constraint it generates one. But I get this error "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'PRIMARY'".
If I add a name to the constraint, it works fine.
I'm using SQL Server 2000
Thanks

I cannot figure out how to add a default constraint to an existing column. The syntax I'm using is :
ALTER TABLE table_name WITH NOCHECK
ADD CONSTRAINT column_name DEFAULT (0)
This gives me a syntax error.
The column was originally added with a default constraint of 1 to a 2.6 million row table.
I dropped the existing constraint and need to add the new default constraint of 0 for that column.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I have created a table Table with name as Varchar and id as int. Now i have started inserting the rows like, insert into Table values ('arun',20).Yes i have inserted a row in the table. Now i have got the values " arun's ", 50. insert into Table values('arun's',20) My sqlserver is giving me an error instead of inserting the row. How will you solve this problem?
Is there any way or option to get the all columns of dataset added to table when we add a table in data region. It will take lot of time to add one by one and also there are chances to add one column ore than once.

THis is so annoying. I have 3 ADO executes in my program. THe first one creates a view, the second one performs an outer join on that view and returns a result set, the third execute drops the aforementioned view. THe program that is using this is installed on about 200 computers scattered across Germany and Italy, all querying the same MSsql server 7.0. THe queries run quite quick when few users are actively using the program (after hours for example). however in the heat of the day performance goes up and down dramatically with identical queries taking from 1 to 20 seconds to return their result set. Now I initially thought 'bandwidth issue out of our server'. However I noticed that if I take those three queries and run them from the sql server enterprise manager( running on the same computer as the aforementioned program) then the queries run instantly and the data is in my result pane in less than 2 seconds ALWAYS....even when the program is dogging it with 20 second delays before the result set returns. I know it is hanging on the return of the result set as I put a stop after before each ADO execute in order to check which one was eating up my time. Why is there this dichotomy between running the queries from my enterprise manager versus running them from an ADO object. Both are using TCP/IP (no named pipes involved). I havent monkied with the attributes of the ADO result set so they are all set to default.
I have used the sql server profiler to trace these queries and they always run in less than 33 milliseconds. THe duration is also never more than 33 milliseconds. THis stinks of a network resource issue but what always leads me somewhere else is how consistent the performance of the enterprise manager is when it runs the exact same three queries.
Here is my slightly edited connection string
Public Const connection_string = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=000.000.000.000;" & _
"User ID=johndoe;Password=janedoe;Network=dbmssocn;" & _
"database=fidojoe"
Here are the 3 ADO executes:
conn.Execute (sqlstr_create_view)
Set resultset1 = conn.Execute(sqlstr_get_providers_by_DMISID)
conn.Execute (sqlstr_drop_view)
When I run query in excel it gives result with different column sequence. The same query gives result with different column sequence when used in query analyzer or VBA Macro. E.g., Select * from ABC.

I hope I am not asking about something that has been done before, but Ihave searched and cannot find an answer. What I am trying to do is torun a query, and then perform some logic on the rowcount and thenpossibly display the result of the query. I know it can be done withADO, but I need to do it in Query Analyzer. The query looks like this:select Varfrom DBwhere SomeCriteriaif @@Rowcount = 0select 'n/a'else if @@Rowcount = 1select -- this is the part where I need to redisplay the resultfrom the above queryelse if @@Rowcount > 1-- do something elseThe reason that I want to do it without re-running the query is that Iwant to minimize impact on the DB, and the reason that I can't useanother program is that I do not have a develpment environment where Ineed to run the queries. I would select the data into a temp table, butagain, I am concerned about impacting the DB. Any suggestions would begreatly appreciated. I am really hoping there is something as simple as@@resultset, or something to that effect.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to determine which of three stored procedure designs arefastest in the Query Analyzer:One query is a straight SELECT query with all desired rows and a dozen(tblName.RowName = @param or @param = Null) filters in the WHEREstatement.One query populates a #Temp table with the UniqueIDs from the resultsof the SELECT query in the above example, then joins that #Temp tableto get the desired rows.One query users EXEC sp_executesql @sql, @paramlist, @paramin which the @param has the dozen filters.What I'm trying to determine is which is the fastest.Each time I run the query in Query Analyzer it returns the samerecordset (duh!) but with much different Time Statistics.Are the Time Statisticts THE HOLY QRAIL as far as determining which isfastest, and what so I want to look at, the Vale or the Average?

In Master tabel i have these date datas
2015-05-10
2015-05-11
2015-05-12
SO when i try to load from  Master table to parent and child table i am using using expresssion likeÂ
select B.ID,A.* FROM FLATFILE_INVENTORY AS A JOIN DMS_INVENTORY AS B ONÂ
A.ACDealerID=B.DMSDEALERID AND A.StockNumber=B.STOCKNUMBER ANDÂ
A.InventoryDate=B.INVENTORYDATE AND A.VehicleVIN=B.VEHICLEVIN
WHERE convert(date,A.[FtpDate]) = convert(date,GETDATE()) Â and convert(date,B.Ftpdate) = convert(date,getdate()) ;
If i use this Expression i am getting the current system date data's only  from Master table to parent and child tables.
My Problem is If i do this in my local sserver using the above Expression if i loaded today date and if need to load yesterday date i can change my system date to yesterday date and i can run this Expression.so that yeserday date data alone will get loaded from Master to parent and  child tables.
If i run this expression to remote server  i cannot change the system date in server.
while using this Expression for current date its loads perfectly but when i try to load yesterday data it takes current date date only not the yesterday date data.
What is the Expression on which ever  date i am trying load in  the master table  same date need to loaded in Parent and child table without changing the system Date.
