If I have a temporary table called #CTE
With the columns
[Account]
[Name]
[RowID Table Level]
[RowID Data Level]
and I need to change the column type for the columns:
[RowID Table Level]

Hello:
I have a database in SQL with the following collate name: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS... I am trying to change the accent sensetive to accent insensitive... how would I do this? I tried re-installing the SQL and setting the default to CI_AI, but since the database that is backed up uses CI_AS, the DB settings overrides the default settings...
Any suggestions?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,
I tried to do this myself, but couldn't figure it out since I am very unfamiliar with sql. I have a script that exports data from our store database to a file that is used to update our webstore database. I want to add a chunk to the script that will copy an image file from one directory to another as it loops through the database. I want to copy a picture from directory1 to directory2 that has a name SKU.jpg.
I was told in this forum by Ray Miao that the format of the statement would be:
xp_cmdshell 'Copy c:directory1SKU.jpg c:directory2SKU.jpg'
My problem is that I don't know how or where in my script to place this statement so that it will work. If this is simplke and someone can tell me the setup that would be great. If not, I would be willing to hire someone to do what needs to be done to this script and send it to me. I can be reached at darren@jbjgifts.com or 217-369-2686.
Here is the script:

Hi smart people!
I would like to know how to alter a column to have a default value. For instance I have a column AreaCode Char(3) in a table. I have data in the table and now I want to add a default value of '123' to the AreaCode column.
I tried the following but did not work.
Alter Table Phone
Alter Column AreaCode Char(3) Default '123'
Can we even do it using SQL?
Thanks
I think I have blown a gasket..... a elementary simple sp that will not work but I am unable to find an explanation as to why..... please help.
CREATE PROCEDUREbrsp_table_alteration
@var_1 varchar(45)
,@var_2varchar(45)
,@var_3varchar(30)
AS
ALTER TABLE @var_1

Thanks.
Is there any way to alter a column's name using Transact SQL and not the GUI interface?

But I get the following error:

I have a table tblABC which exists in 800 databases. I want to run a cursor to turn off the pk field ID indentity permannetly and then to "insert tblABC select * from tblXYZ".
I have tried the "set indentity_insert tblABC on" statement and failed on insert tblABC select * from tblXYZ.
Is there any alter table related t-sql could permannetly turn off the identity?
thanks

Is there anyway to Insert a new column between two existing columns without creating a new table?

Hi,
is it possible to override the system when adjusting
columns. i.e. a system override setting.
For instance if I've got a column that is indexed and I
want to adjust it from varchar(50) to varchar(51) it lets
me. But if I then try and adjust the column to varchar
(49) I get the error below:
Server: Msg 5074, Level 16, State 8, Line 1
The index 'LastName' is dependent on column 'lastname'.
Server: Msg 4922, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN lastname failed because one or
more objects access this column.
I asked this question on another Forum and was told I had to drop the index first. Just thought I'd ask for a second opinion.
Thanks for the help.

what is the syntax for multiple column modifications ?
alter table abc
alter column x1 nvarchar(10) null
-- works
alter table abc
alter column x1 nvarchar(10) null,
alter column x2 nvarchar(10) null
-- doesn't work or do i have to use the alter table each time ?

Hi to all!
I have a silly problem, but I'm not able to solve it!
I know how to add a field in a table via Enterprise manager and I know also via ALTER TABLE command.
...But the problem is: I want to add a field NOT in the last position, but on the middle (for istance)
So, this is possible via Enterprise Manager but with the ALTER TABLE command? How can I add a field without put it in the last position?
...Thanks a lot!
Sergio
p.s.: Sorry for my poor english..I hope you understand my question!
Hello,
I am trying to edit several tables that were imported in tab-delimited format from text files. I am trying to generate a script that will alter the data type for several different columns.
I have succesfully edited a single column with the following code:
USE THCIC
ALTER TABLE PudfTest
ALTER COLUMN
DISCHARGE VARCHAR(6) NULL
However, I have need to create a script that will change the data type for over 100 columns. So far, everything I've read tells me that multiple 'alter column' statements cannot be run in a single query. I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this, or at least point me in another direction so that I won't have to manually change the data type for every column in each of the tables.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
hello,
i am trying to add a column to every table in a database, if it (doesn't already exist), with the following code:
declare @name varchar(50)
declare c cursor for select name from sys.tables
open c
fetch next from c into @name
while @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
begin
if( (select count(*) from sys.columns
WHERE object_id IN (SELECT object_id FROM sys.tables WHERE name = @name )
and name='ins_id') = 0 )
begin
alter table @name add ins_id int
end
fetch next from c into @name
end
close c
deallocate c
and when i run the script i get the error message
Incorrect syntax near '@name'.
reffering to the alter table statement
So, my question is, how can i actually perform the alter table in this case?
thank you
Hello everyone,
I just started learning sql and I came across a slight problem.
Assume I have a customer table composed of the following fields:
Customer_Number,Sname,Street,City,Postcode,credit_lim,balance.
What I want to do is to drop the Street,city,and postcode fields and add the following: fax,email,and phone.
Is it possible to use the following command:
Alter table customer
Drop column street,city,postcode
Or should I do as following:
Alter table customer
Drop column street
Alter table customer
Drop column city
Alter table customer
Drop column postcode
And the same goes to adding the phone,fax,and email field.
Thank You.
NB: I need to use the Alter command and nothing else
