Adding A Table Description
Jul 31, 2007Hi everyone,
I'm using SQL 2005. I want to add a description for each table on my database. How do I do that? I know I can add a description to each field, but how do I add a description to each TABLE? I tried going to Properties but don't see anything.
Grateful for any help. Thanks.
Adding A Full Text Search Across Multiple Tables (with Text Fields)
Sep 7, 2007Hi, i'm trying to do a full text search on my site to add a weighting score to my results. I have the following database structure:
Documents: - DocumentID (int, PK) - Title (varchar) - Content (text) - CategoryID (int, FK)
Categories: - CategoryID (int, PK) - CategoryName (varchar)
I need to create a full text index which searches the Title, Content and CategoryName fields. I figured since i needed to search the CategoryName field i would create an indexed view. I tried to execute the following query:
CREATE VIEW vw_DocumentsWITH SCHEMABINDING ASSELECT dbo.Documents.DocumentID, dbo.Documents.Title, dbo.Documents.[Content], dbo.Documents.CategoryID, dbo.Categories.CategoryNameFROM dbo.Categories INNER JOIN dbo.Documents ON dbo.Categories.CategoryID = dbo.Documents.CategoryID
GOCREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX vw_DocumentsIndexON vw_Documents(DocumentID)
But this gave me the error:
Cannot create index on view 'dbname.dbo.vw_Documents'. It contains text, ntext, image or xml columns.
I tried converting the Content to a varchar(max) within my view but it still didn't like.
Appreciate if someone can tell me how this can be done as surely what i'm trying to do is not ground breaking.

View 4 Replies View RelatedJoining Tables - Return Name / Description And Keyword For Every Record ID
May 7, 2012I have 3 tables I'm trying to join:
Table 1: Contains ID, Name, Description
Table 2: Contains ID, Keyword
Table 3: Is lookup table for tables 1 & 2
I need a query to return a table having columns of:
Name, Description, Keyword for every record ID in Table 1
The issue is that table 2 contains multiple keywords for each key ID and my query returns an error: Subquery returned more than 1 value.
When I run this query using a specific key, it returns the correct information the way I want it:
DECLARE @ServiceID VARCHAR(10)
SET @ServiceID = '35'
DECLARE @Name VARCHAR(8000) DECLARE @Desc VARCHAR(8000) DECLARE @Keywords VARCHAR(8000)
SELECT @Name = [DefService].[Name],@Desc = [DefService].[Description],@Keywords = COALESCE(@Keywords + ', ', '') + [DefKeyword].[Name] FROM [DefService] INNER JOIN [DefKeywordServices] ON [DefService].serviceid = [DefKeywordServices].[ServiceID] INNER JOIN [DefKeyword] ON [DefKeyword].[KeywordID] = [DefKeywordServices].[KeywordID] WHERE [DefService].[ServiceID] = @ServiceID PRINT @Name + ' | ' + @Desc + ' | ' + @Keywords
SELECT @Name AS Name,@Desc AS Description,@Keywords AS Keywords
Results:
NameDescriptionKeywords
GoToMyPC - Account RequestRequest a Citrix GoToMyPC account.GTMPC, GoTo, application, software, install, Installation, applications
When I run the same query without a specific key it fails. The results only return a single row containing Name, Description and then ALL keywords for every key ID...very odd behavior.
BTW, I need to do this in a single SQL query and not a stored proc or other method.
Adding Identity Fields
Nov 2, 1998I have a table that I need to add an identity field to. I created a field in the table as an INT and added values to all of the existing records. When I try to change it to an IDENTITY field I continually get an error saying 'Invalid cursor state' . The help function tells me that this is caused by not having enough space in the transaction log but I don't understand this b/c the trans log is configured to expand as needed. Anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks,

View 1 Replies View RelatedAdding Conditions (if/else) When Selecting Fields
Aug 18, 2004We have three fields in a table: firstname, Surname & Organisation. Firstname & surname will always be filled but in most cases organisation is NULL.
Part of what these fields will be used for is a mailshot. If there is no organisation data then the mailshot will open with 'Dear Firstname Surname, ' but if the organisation is present they would like 'Dear Organisation'.
Is it possible to create a select state that checks the organisation field, and if a value is present return that value else return the firstname, surname combination? I have tried various things but I cannot get it to work.
I know the ideal situation would be to do this type of condition check at scripting level (PHP, ASP, Visual Basic) but my bosses would like to try it at SQL level.

A Problem With Adding Fields In Ssems
Jun 1, 2007hi,
i have a DB and it has some tables that the tables has related link (diagram).now when i wanna to change a table's field , the Sql Server errors that the table is not empty.when i try to delete the table's content , Sql server errors that the table is use a relation with another table.
so can i change a table's structure?
by the way before i forget , the Sql Server's error is below:
'UserManagement' table
- Unable to modify table.
ALTER TABLE only allows columns to be added that can contain nulls, or have a DEFAULT definition specified, or the column being added is an identity or timestamp column, or alternatively if none of the previous conditions are satisfied the table must be empty to allow addition of this column. Column 'isadmin' cannot be added to non-empty table 'UserManagement' because it does not satisfy these conditions.
thanks,

Adding To 2 Different Tables
Apr 19, 2007Hi Everyone,
I have a page with a textbox and a dropdown list. The user will enter a company name in the text box and select a number from 1 - 20 (number of delegates for that company) in the dropdown list.
I've got the text box and dropdown writing to tblCompany but I would also like it to write to tblUsers at the same time. The reason for this is that i need it to set up the number of users that have been selected in the dropdown list.
Here is the codebehind file:Imports System.Data.SqlClient

Adding Sql Values From 2 Tables
Feb 15, 2007Hello all, i have 2 sql tables, and they each contain a column with bigint values. What i want to do is add up the values from both table, and then display it as 1 number. Supposing i have the following
table name: DownloadTable
fileName | DownloadSize |
file1 | 45
file2 | 50
file3 | 20
---------------------------------------------
second table
table name: VideoTable
fileName | VideoSize |
file1 | 40
file2 | 60
file3 | 20
----------------------------------------
Now, i want this to output 120, wich is the sum of the sum of the values of table 1 and 2 I've already tried the following:
SELECT SUM(DownloadTable.DownloadSize) + SUM(VideoTable.VideoSize) FROM DownloadTable, VideoTable
However, when i ran this, it gave me a huge number, that was far from accurate from what it was suppose to output. Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance

Adding Data To Tables?
Mar 6, 2014I'm currently in an SQL internship, and am running into an issue with a project they've given me. Primarily, he's asking me to try to get a table containing student entry testing information to update with a new column that's supposed to contain the testing dates. This in mind, there is another table that contains testing data, and who's students are grouped by date, the data in each group all coming from the students table. Issue is, I don't know how to get the testing dates from the TestData table into the Students table. There's already a relationship set up between the TestID fields on the TestData table (PK) and the Students table (FK), so I don't think I can set up a new relationship to get it working.

May 26, 2007I have a table that I am basically reduplicating a couple of times for each part of this database that I want to create.
Each table basically has the same data: The tables will be called motherTable, fatherTable, sonTable, daughterTable and so on.
I am pretty much using the following in each column: UserID, MotherID(or FatherID or SonID, etc., etc. and so on for each unique table), FirstName, LastName, MiddleName, BirthPlace, Photo, Age.
I don't see an option to copy a table and just modify the second ID part and rename that table accordingly.
How can I make this an easier way of creating these similar tables without retyping all these columns over and over again?
Thanks in advance.
Mapping Fields From Two Tables
Apr 1, 2004Hi all,
I'm not sure how easy of a task this is, or how to go about it, so I thought I'd ask here. I am doing a major overhaul to my site and am re-programming the backend which involves re-formatting my tables, table names etc.
What I want to do is set up a new table in the format I want for the new site, but still be able to have the live data that is being submitted to the site now, be entered into the new table so that I don't have to shut down the site for days to transfer and reformat data. Example
CURRENT SITE
Table 1
Field1: Name
Field2: Address
NEW SITE
Table 1
Field1: Name
Field2: myAddress
Field3: City
I want to be able to somehow map the two together so that when data is entered into the Name field on the current site, that same name is also inserted into the new site table as well. Mapping like this:
(current site)Name -> (new site)Name
(current site)Address -> (new site)myAddress
The city field would be left unaffected as that data would only be entered once the new site is up and running.
I know I could do this from a stored procedure on the exiting site or by re-writting all of my SQL to insert into both tables, but right now all of the SQL is hardcoded into the pages and I have A LOT of pages. Is there a way to map the tables together from within SQL Server?
Cheers,
Jeff

How Do I Get A Printout Of All My Tables And Fields ?
Mar 15, 2001Hi,
I have a database with approx 95 tables. I would like to get a printout of each table, the fields contained therein and the field type
(i.e the information displayed when rightclicking a table in Enterprise Manager and selecting Properties).
I have tried to use the diagram function but due to the large number of tables the diagram is very complex and would have to be printed out on a huge sheet of paper to make it legible. I have also looked at the SP_HELP stored procedure but can't seem to get the syntax correct to display properties on all tables (info on one table is no problem).
Any ideas ?
Thanks,

Comparing Fields In Tables
Aug 4, 2005I am working with the article that MAK wrote on SecurityLogs http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3515886
I have completed this, but I have made some changes to the database (for normalization to 3NF purposes). I now have problems with a query.
I am trying to "Insert a new record in a table if it does not already exist in the table". To try to clarify I perform the following query:
INSERT INTO Tmp_Event
SELECT DISTINCT EventID, EventType, EventTypeName from Tmp
Which gives me the Tmp_Event table consisting of EventID's etc. (no duplicates). What I then want to do, is compare the 'Tmp_event' table and an already existing 'Event' table. These two tables are in fact identical. I would like to insert any records from 'Tmp_Event' into 'Event' if they do not already exist in 'Event'.
This query gives me all records that do not exist in 'Event'
SELECT EventID, EventType, EventTYpeName from Tmp_Event
WHERE EventID NOT IN (SELECT EventID from Event)
How can I change this query into performing an INSERT INTO Event as well?
Hope this makes sense :)
