Best Practices: Table Definition Updates
Feb 5, 2008
Hi. We're using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition for maintaining a relational DB for our soon-to-be released .NET app. The problem is that we expect that the definitions of the tables in the DB to occasionally change over time as we make updates to the software. Thus, during the installation of a software upgrade, we expect to run an SQL script that grabs the data from a table in its "old" format, re-structures the table, and then deposits the data back in the updated table. This seems to require some sort of version stamp on the table definition.
My main question is: What is the conventional way for handling versioning of table definitions?
Another question is: Is there a preferred procedure for handling the updating of the data during the installation of a software update?
Thanks.
Dave

Hello,
I am receiving the following error:
Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition
I am trying to insert values into a temp table, using values from the table I copied the structure from, like this:
SELECT TOP 1 * INTO #tbl_User_Temp FROM tbl_User
TRUNCATE TABLE #tbl_User_Temp
INSERT INTO #tbl_User_Temp EXECUTE UserPersist_GetUserByCriteria @Gender = 'Male', @Culture = 'en-GB'
The SP UserPersist_GetByCriteria does a
"SELECT * FROM tbl_User WHERE gender = @Gender AND culture = @Culture",
so why am I receiving this error when both tables have the same
structure?
The error is being reported as coming from UserPersist_GetByCriteria on the "SELECT * FROM tbl_User" line.
Thanks,
Greg.

Hi...
I have data that i am getting through a dbf file. and i am dumping that data to a sql server... and then taking the data from the sql server after scrubing it i put it into the production database.. right my stored procedure handles a single plan only... but now there may be two or more plans together in the same sql server database which i need to scrub and then update that particular plan already exists or inserts if they dont...
this is my sproc...
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_Import_Plan]
@ClientId int,
@UserId int = NULL,
@HistoryId int,
@ShowStatus bit = 0-- Indicates whether status messages should be returned during the import.
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE
@Count int,
@Sproc varchar(50),
@Status varchar(200),
@TotalCount int
SET @Sproc = OBJECT_NAME(@@ProcId)
SET @Status = 'Updating plan information in Plan table.'
UPDATE
Statements..Plan
SET
PlanName = PlanName1,
Description = PlanName2
FROM
Statements..Plan cp
JOIN (
SELECT DISTINCT
PlanId,
PlanName1,
PlanName2
FROM
Census
) c
ON cp.CPlanId = c.PlanId
WHERE
cp.ClientId = @ClientId
AND
(
IsNull(cp.PlanName,'') <> IsNull(c.PlanName1,'')
OR
IsNull(cp.Description,'') <> IsNull(c.PlanName2,'')
)
SET @Count = @@ROWCOUNT
IF @Count > 0
BEGIN
SET @Status = 'Updated ' + Cast(@Count AS varchar(10)) + ' record(s) in ClientPlan.'
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SET @Status = 'No records were updated in Plan.'
END
SET @Status = 'Adding plan information to Plan table.'
INSERT INTO Statements..Plan (
ClientId,
ClientPlanId,
UserId,
PlanName,
Description
)
SELECT DISTINCT
@ClientId,
CPlanId,
@UserId,
PlanName1,
PlanName2
FROM
Census
WHERE
PlanId NOT IN (
SELECT DISTINCT
CPlanId
FROM
Statements..Plan
WHERE
ClientId = @ClientId
AND
ClientPlanId IS NOT NULL
)
SET @Count = @@ROWCOUNT
IF @Count > 0
BEGIN
SET @Status = 'Added ' + Cast(@Count AS varchar(10)) + ' record(s) to Plan.'
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SET @Status = 'No information was added Plan.'
END
SET NOCOUNT OFF
So how do i do multiple inserts and updates using this stored procedure...
Regards
Karen

SQL Server 7.0 (SP1)
Error:
------
OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' supplied inconsistent metadata. An extra column was supplied during execution that was not found at compile time.
A column was deleted from the a table on the linked server and now this message appears when using the linked server definition to access the table. Deleting/Recreating the Linked Server has no effect. I found an earlier note on this...but it just kind of ended with no resolution. Anyone have any thoughts on this now.
Thanks for any input.

Please could you tell me how big sql tables are when people refer to them as small, medium and large? Preferably in terms of disk space or rows (each row in my table will contain a standard length job advert and 20 additional columns with an average of 8 characters)

I'm trying to move my current use of an sql 2000 db to sql 2005.
I need to update a table definition (to change a field to an Identity)
I'm getting a dialog box (in SQL server management studio) on save saying :
'xxxx' table
- Saving Definition Changes to tables with large amounts of data could
take a considerable amount of time. While changes are being
saved, table data will not be accessible.
I press 'Yes' to the dialog box.
After 35 seconds, I get another dialog box saying:
'xxxx' table
- Unable to modify table.
Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
Well, the server is responding and I can query that talbe and other, I
can add/delete rows to other columns. I can modify other
(smaller) tables.
Any ideas where I can change this timeout?

[code]...
Table2 has three columns (i.e. Date, Count and Rule Type). Column “Rule Type “has a default value which is “XYZ”..Now I want to insert Data from Table1 to Table2. I am using following query:-
declare @Startdate
datetime
DEclare @enddate
datetime
[code]...
Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition.I am using SQL 2012. I understand Table1 has 2 Columns but Table2 has 3 Columns. Is there anyway, I can move data from source table to Destination table where Destination Table has more number of Columns?

Hi,
Is there a way of uploading column definitions from the Flat File Connection Manager into a SQL Server table definition. Since I have over a dozen data sources to process each with around 200 columns and of course like many BI techies I have little immediate influence over the structure of these flat files. I just know that these data sources are business critical.
Judging by looking at similar threads I can't be the only one who would greatly benefit from being able to upload column definitions from the Flat File Connection Manager into a SQL Server table definition as opposed to doing this manually.
Thanks in advance,
Kieran.

I have a backup application that uses SQL as the backend (both 2000 and 2005) The backup application performs a specific function that enters data into the Database but does not have any reporting. I am looking for a way to query the DB directly to see if there is any info I can grab. But the problem is I don't know where its stored. So my questions) are:
Is there anyway to tell what tables get updated by a certain process. For example if I run this one action how could I then tell what tables were effected or even what data was changed. I tried looking for a logging function that would list this but did not find it. I also tried looking for some type of real time monitor. I even tried looking for a way to search for records / tables that had been recently updated.
I am new to SQL so not sure I am using the correct terms but any help would be appreciated. Also this is SQL2000 and a test server
Thanks in advance for your time

I need to update information for a user and if the user is classified
as a primary (@blnPrimary) then I need to update information for all
users within his agency (AgencyUniqueId). The issue is that the second
UPDATE to "cdds_User_Profile" always returns a rowcount of 0 (should be
1) even though the values for "@Original_AgencyUniqueId" and
"@Original_UserId" are correct. This is just a snippet of the whole
procedure. I'm trying to implement similar logic in other parts of the
procedure and I'm observing the same behavior there as well. Any help
anyone can provide is greatly appreciated. </p><pre>/*** Update User Profile ***/UPDATE [cdds_User_Profile] SET [FirstName] = @FirstName, [LastName] = @LastName, [Title] = @Title, [Phone] = @Phone, [AcctType] = @AcctType, [AcctStatus] = @AcctStatus, [LastUpdatedDate] = GETDATE() WHERE ([FirstName] = @Original_FirstName AND [LastName] = @Original_LastName AND [Title]=@Original_Title AND [Phone]=@Original_Phone AND [AcctType]=@Original_AcctType AND [AcctStatus]= @Original_AcctStatus AND [AgencyUniqueId] = @Original_AgencyUniqueIdAND [UserId] = @Original_UserId);IF @@ROWCOUNT = 0BEGINSET @err_message = 'Data has been edited by another user since you began viewing this information.'RAISERROR (@err_message,11, 1)ROLLBACK TRANSACTIONRETURNEND IF @@ERROR <> 0 BEGINROLLBACK TRANSACTIONRETURN ENDIF @blnPrimary = 1 BEGIN IF LOWER(@AcctStatus) <> LOWER(@AgencyAcctStatus)/*** Update Users Acct.

Hi,
Has anyone had any problems on one row updates on a table where you have defined horizontal and vertical partitioning of the data to be replicated?
When I execute an update clause that modifies just one row the log reader misses the modification and it does not get replicated to the other databases.
If I do the same update clause but on several rows then all the modifications are read by the log reader and the replication task goes ok.
What might be wrong?

Hi
I'm using VS'08 and develop in VB.
I'm using SQL CE 3.5 as a local cache for SQL'05 tables.
The table that's being updated uses an interger autonumber for the PK.
When the program starts up and inserts records into the table, it works, as long as no on else is insering recoreds into the same table.
Once a duplicate PK is created by another WS, the records no longer update the SQL'05 table.
If the blocked program is restarted, it'll insert records with a PK that's past the one found at the initial sync. until blocked again.
PK ---- ProgID ----- MSG

Simple question:
I have two servers S1 and S2. Inmediately after new data on S1 is available I want to perform some actions on S2.
I can use a trigger on S1, but if S2 is down the transaction on S1 will be lost. I could use database replication but I only need one single table in S1 to report changes to S2
Is there any other approach I could use?
Thanks.
