I would like to change the logical filenames for a database on my test server. I know this is done with ALTER DATABASE, but I'm not sure of the exact syntax. Can anyone help?

Is There A Way To Change Logical And Physical Datebase Filenames?
Aug 23, 2006A database was set up as a test database and then the database name changed but the logical and physical filenames still have test in their name - obviously not a good idea. I have tried to change the physical file name but get the error message that the physical file name cannot be changed once the database has been created. I have also tried detaching the database and renaming the mdf and ldf files but these could not be re-attached so had to revert back to the original names.

Oct 10, 2007I'm using SQL2005 and need to script a bunch of Tables (and possibly other objects) to files. I can't make one big file with all the objects in it. I need to create an indiviual file for each object and each filename needs to be something like dbo.objectname.sql. I will be checking each file (object script) into VSS. Can someone tell me how to do this withouth having to manually generate a script for each object? Is there a way to check each object you want scripted and the SSMS spit out a file per object?
Thanks
Variables To Hold Filenames
Feb 8, 2007 I was wondering if it is possible to create a variable that holds the filename as an expression. I am using a For each loop to pick up files and i want to insert the 'Filename' as a colum in to the destination Table so that i can differentiate among the rows in my destination Table.
Using the 'Derived Colum' in DTS I can link the colum to a variable. However i do not know how to create the variable which will dynamically store the filename for each file....
Any Clues...
Would really appreciate the help.....
Or is anyone knows any other simple way of inserting the filename as a column in the destination Table ...Been stuck on this for a while...

Transact SQL :: Pass Filenames To A Loop
Aug 27, 2015I’m working on building a file list from a directory I have and wish to loop through the filenames. I’ve worked out I can get the list using
EXEC
xp_dirtree @path, 10, 1
I’m just not sure out I pass this to my loop 1 element at a time.
E.g. Let’s say there are 10 files in my folder, I wish to loop through each name using my @Filename parameter
DECLARE @Path
varchar(50), @FileName
varchar(20)
SET @Path
= 'C:myFiles'
EXEC
xp_dirtree @path, 10, 1

Retreiving TranLog Filenames From Windows Directory
Jan 24, 2006Due to circumstances beyond my control, I have to restore a full database backup from October 1, 2005 and then over 4400 transaction logs to bring a database up to Jan 01, 2006 on a development server (storage team lost all daily full backups from 10/02/2005 to 01/01/2006). Since the backups were not taken on this machine originally, the information I would pull from the sysjobhistory tables to get the transaction backup names is not available. Does anyone have a link or a script to pull the filenames from the backup directory into sql server so I can build a dynamic script to apply the tran logs instead of running all 4400+ of them by hand? Thanks, Tom

Oct 11, 2015I am trying to break apart a list of filenames that was inserted into a database. It only breaks out the first one then moves onto the next record. If I do them individually then seem to work but not the whole table when queried. I need to break out each file into a temp table then insert them into a documents field in a database.
my filenames look like so and can have from 1 file name to 10 file names in the string.
test.pdf,test2.pdf,test4.tif,test5.pdf
somedoc.tif,test.docx,test4.pdf
This is my current method, I needed to create a cursor around it to go through all the records, split out the filenames and insert into a temp table. But if there is a better way ill do it. The problem with this is only the first file is getting inserted into the temp table and nothing else even if the filename has 4 files in it.
Create table #tempFiles (OldStrId int, OldPercent int, strfilename varchar(max), RequestId int, OblId int)
declare @OldStr int, @OldPer int, @FileName varchar(max), @intcount int;
Declare filenames CURSOR FOR Select intSTRBonusID, intPercentID, strFileName from tblSTR where strFileName > ''
UNION ALL
Select intSTRBonusID, intPercentID, strFileName from tblSTRHist where intPercentID in (61,62) and strFileName > ''

Package Configuration For Generic Pathnames And Specific Filenames
Apr 3, 2007It's very easy to make a generic xml configuration file for the connection to the database for all packages my project contains. The connectionstring is the same for all these packages
Now I want to do the same for all flat file sources I have in my project where the connectionstring is not the same for all packages.
For example I use the following flat files in my project:
c:AAA.txt
c:BBB.txt
c:CCC.txt
If I move the packages to the production database the flat file sources are located in another directory.
So in fact for the flat file sources there is a generic part for all files (in this case 'c: ') and a specific part ('AAA.txt', 'BBB.txt' and 'CCC.txt').
Can I indicate this in the package configurations sections? And how?
Thanks,
John

View 6 Replies View RelatedMerge Altering Metadata
Aug 8, 2007I have a column going into a merge DT_WSTR length 50 on both(left/right) sides, yet when viewing the resulting output metadata, the length is 16. (I am viewing the metadata by clicking on the arrows)
This is obviously wrong.
NB originally the length was not set to this. As an attempt to try and fix the problem, I have added a placeholder column before all of my conditional splits of str50 type.
Why is it doing this?
This is causing my 0xC02020C1 error, I am convinced of it.
One of the errors has now gone away but the other two merges still have the error.
SSIS seems to assume that you will make no mistakes and will never want to go back and change anything, woe betide you if you have to go back and alter it later.
I have also noticed that certain (other) errors go away merely by opening and closing the tasks. Shocking.

Dynamically Altering/creating Tables
Jul 22, 1998Folks,
Is there any way I can dynamically alter the structure of a table? In other words if my Transact SQL
statement returns 5 rows I want to alter an existing table and put in 5 columns. Strange?!
Something like
alter table add
column+@i
The alter table statement is within a Cursor and ideally @i should increment each time and alter
the table to put in a new column.
If I went 3 times thru the loop, I should have
column1
column2
column3
added to the new table.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much in advance.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAltering Functions And CHECK Constraints
Jul 23, 2005Let's say I create a multi-statement function like this:CREATE FUNCTION dbo.Test ()RETURNS @res TABLE (N int NOT NULL CHECK (N >= 0))ASBEGININSERT INTO @resSELECT 1RETURNENDThat works fine. Then I make a change in the function's body, replace theCREATE FUNCTION with ALTER FUNCTION, and execute the batch. I get an error:Server: Msg 3729, Level 16, State 3, Procedure Test, Line 9Cannot ALTER 'dbo.Test' because it is being referenced by object'CK__Test__N__5D2E32EB'.Indeed, if I look at the list of dependencies for the function in QA'sobject tree, I can see the check constraint referenced in the errormessage.ALTER FUNCTION works fine if I don't specify the CHECK constraint in thedefinition of the @res table.So it seems that the only way to modify such a function is to drop andrecreate. Is that a known behavior? Is there any particular reason for it?Thanks.--(remove a 9 to reply by email)
