I'm trying to find the differences between two of my databases. I've noticed that some of my stored procedures were created with ANSI_NULLS on in one database and off in another database. Turns out that a tool that one of the developers is using doesn't set that correctly. Anyway... I've figured out that in the column "status" in sysobjects a bit is used to store the ANSI_NULLS setting at the time the stored procedure was created. I've also noticed that when I set two stored procedures to both use ANSI_NULLS on they sometimes still have different values in "status". Does anyone know (or know where I can find out) the bitmapping for this column?
In all of the Microsoft documentation the description for this column merely states that it is for "internal use". What a big help. A resource with all of the bitmap definitions in the system tables would really be great.
So I have been trying to get mySQL query to work for a large database that I have. I have (lets say) two tables Table_One and Table_Two. Table_One has three columns: Type, Animal and TestID and Table_Two has 2 columns Test_Name and Test_ID. Example with values is below:
In Table_One all types come under one column and the values of all Types (Mammal, Fish, Bird, Reptile) come under another column (Animals). Table_One and Two can be linked by Test_ID
I am trying to create a table such as shown below:
This should be my final table. The approach I am currently using is to make multiple instances of Table_One and using joins to form this final table. So the column Bird, Reptile, Mammal and Fish all come from a different copy of Table_one.
For e.g
Select Test_Name AS 'Test_Name', Table_Bird.Animal AS 'Birds', Table_Mammal.Animal AS 'Mammal', Table_Reptile.Animal AS 'Reptile, Table_Fish.Animal AS 'Fish' From Table_One
[Code] .....
The problem with this query is it only works when all entries for Birds, Mammals, Reptiles and Fish have some value. If one field is empty as for Test_Two or Test_Three, it doesn't return that record. I used Or instead of And in the WHERE clause but that didn't work as well.
hi i want to retrieve all columns for all tables (for all databases) by this system sp : Code Snippetexec sp_msforeachtable 'exec sp_columns ''?''' but when i execute this script, sql server return number of empty result set, how to solve this problem ? thanks.
I want to have a Stored procedure call another stored procedure gathering the info from some of the information SP#1 and use it calling SP#2... For example sp_Help returns columns when executed (Name, Owner, Object_type). So how can I reference the Name column and pass it to SP#2
SQL Server 2005 has a new very useful feature for creating non-clustered indexes called INCLUDE <columns> which are very helpful when trying to create covering indexes.
Does anyone know of a way to retrieve these INCLUDE columns through any of the system metadata tables? The sp_helpIndex stored procedure is what I currently use but that only returns the (sorted) index columns and not the include columns.
I'm recreating many of my DBA scripts that no longer work in 2005 due to the rework of system tables. It's a risk I lived with knowing that someday the system tables would change. I'm now encountering collation problems, which I do not understand. I know how to fix the problem, but I don't know why the collation issues exist in the first place.
Run the following command.
Select * From sys.all_objects a JOIN master..spt_values b on a.type = b.type
You will receive the following error.
Msg 468, Level 16, State 9, Line 1
Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and "Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS" in the equal to operation.
Now run sp_help 'sys.all_objects' and look at the collation defintion for columns "type" and "type_desc". In my environment they have a collation of Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS. This is different then the overall default collation of SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, thus causing the error.
My question is why did Microsoft need to make this collation different for these columns?
Please note that the number columns are different in each table. I wanted to dump the data of Source table to Destination table. I meant to say that the rows of 2 columns in Source table to last 2 rows of Destination table. And also my oreder of the columns in Destination table will vary. So i need to a way to dynamically insert the data in bulk. but i will know the column names for sure before inserting.
Is there anyway to bulk insert into these columns.
I have a business need to create a report by query data from a MS SQL 2008 database and display the result to the users on a web page. The report initially has 6 columns of data and 2 out of 6 have JSON data so the users request to have those 2 JSON columns parse into 15 additional columns (first JSON column has 8 key/value pairs and the second JSON column has 7 key/value pairs). Here what I have done so far:
I found a table value function (fnSplitJson2) from this link [URL]. Using this function I can parse a column of JSON data into a table. So when I use the function above against the first column (with JSON data) in my query (with CROSS APPLY) I got the right data back the but I got 8 additional rows of each of the row in my table. The reason for this side effect is because the function returned a table of 8 row (8 key/value pairs) for each json string data that it parsed.
1. First question: How do I modify my current query (see below) so that for each row in my table i got back one row with 19 columns.
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.* FROM PRODUCT A CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B
If updated my query (see below) and call the function twice within the CROSS APPLY clause I got this error: "The multi-part identifier "A.ITEM6" could be be bound.
2. My second question: How to i get around this error?
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*, C.* FROM PRODUCT A CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B, fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM6,NULL) C
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 version. Windows 7 desktop.
Here is My requirement, I'm not sure if this is possible. Creating table called master like col1, col2 col3, col4 , col5 ...Where Col1, col2 are updatable - this can be done easily
Col3, col4 are columns in another table but these can be just a read only ?? Is this possible ? this is possible with View but not friendly with share point CRUD...Col 5 is a computed column of col 2 and col5 ? if above step can be done then sure this can be done I guess.
Hello,Using SQL Server 2000, I'm trying to put together a query that willtell me the following information about a view:The View NameThe names of the View's columnsThe names of the source tables used in the viewThe names of the columns that are used from the source tablesBorrowing code from the VIEW_COLUMN_USAGE view, I've got the codebelow, which gives me the View Name, Source Table Name, and SourceColumn Name. And I can easily enough get the View columns from thesyscolumns table. The problem is that I haven't figured out how tolink a source column name to a view column name. Any help would beappreciated.Garyselectv_obj.name as ViewName,t_obj.name as SourceTable,t_col.name as SourceColumnfromsysobjects t_obj,sysobjects v_obj,sysdepends dep,syscolumns t_colwherev_obj.xtype = 'V'and dep.id = v_obj.idand dep.depid = t_obj.idand t_obj.id = t_col.idand dep.depnumber = t_col.colidorder byv_obj.name,t_obj.name,t_col.name
I am stuck on finding a solution to transpose source data from a system via a metadata look-up table into a destination table. I need a method to transpose/pivot the source data into columns (which are by various data-types). The datatypes for each column are listed in a metadata table.
Source Data Table:
Table Name: Source
SrcID AGE City Date 01 32 London 01-01-2013 02 35 Lagos 02-01-2013 03 36 NY 03-01-2013
Metadata Table:
Table Name:Metadata
MetaID Column_Name Column_type 11 AGE col_integer 22 City col_character 33 Date col_date
Destination table:
The source data to be loaded into the destination table(as shown below):
I'm in the process of converting legacy DTS packages to SSIS. I need to populate a table that has more fields than the source file. In DTS I did this with an ActiveX script. How do I go about doing this within SSIS.
In the ActiveX script most of the fields were defaulted with either spaces or zeroes.
One of the Destination fields needs to be incremented by 1 for each new record inserted.
I have created a windows library control that accesses a local sql database
I tried the following strings for connecting
Dim connectionString As String = "Data Source=localhostSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=TimeSheet;Trusted_Connection = true"
Dim connectionString As String = "Data Source=localhostSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=TimeSheet;Integrated Security=SSPI"
I am not running the webpage in a virtual directory but in
C:Inetpubwwwrootusercontrol
and I have a simple index.html that tries to read from an sql db but throws

I just created a new table with over 100 Columns and I need to populated just the first 2 columns.
The first columns to populate is an identify column that is the primary key. The second column is a foreign_key to an other column and I am trying to populate this columns with all the values from the foreign_key value. This is what I am trying to do.
column1 = ID column2= P_CLIENT_D
SET IDENTITY_INSERT PIM1 ON
INSERT INTO PIM1 (P_CLIENT_ID) SELECT Client.ID FROMP_Client
So I am trying to insert both an identity values and a value from an other table while leaving the other columns blank. How do I go about doing this.
Okay, most peoples answer to this may be "Gaaah. Why would you dothis?", or the like, but here's the question anyway:Are there any stability issues if I mark one of my user tables as asystem table (by switching xtype in sysobjects from 'S' to 'U')?I'm not doing this as "a cleved bit of security" or some such - myactual reason for doing this is so that some of my automatic generationtools do not process this particular table, and I want a method thatwill not mean updating each of the tools if I ever add another tablelike this.It APPEARS to work, based on a quick trial, but has anybody got anydirect experience of this? Any horror stories like "Well, it workedfine for two weeks, then it shot my co-workers, set fire to the companyaccounts, and urinated in a corner. Then things got worse"Also, yes, yes, yes, I do not necessarily expect this to work in futurereleases of SQL Server (currently on 2000), but I should avoid namingconflicts by the fact that the owner isn't dbo.Thanks in advance for any insights.
Hello,I have a query that I need help with.there are two tables...Product- ProductId- Property1- Property2- Property3PropertyType- PropertyTypeId- PropertyTypeThere many columns in (Product) that reverence 1 lookup table (PropertyType)In the table Product, the columns Property1, Property2, Property3 all contain a numerical value that references PropertyType.PropertyTypeIdHow do I select a Product so I get all rows from Product and also the PropertyType that corresponds to the Product.Property1, Product.Property2, and Product.Property3ProductId | Property1 | Property2 | Property3 | PropertyType1 | PropertyType2 | PropertyType3 PropertyType(1) = PropertyType for Property1PropertyType(2) = PropertyType for Property2PropertyType(3) = PropertyType for Property3I hope this makes sence.Thanks in advance.

Hi,Is there a way to hide the system tables created in each SQL serverdatabase (ie. dtproperties, sysindexes). It's not a big deal, but I'dlike to see only the tables I create.
I have two tables with the common column-name/ The first one include such columns as the name of football team, its country and budget. The second one include the team name, victories (quantity of it), lost games, and season. So I have the task to select such column as name, victories, lost games in 2nd table but only that ones that has budget over 1 mln? How to build select statement SELECT name, victories, lost g/ from TABLE2 WHERE budget >1000000 from TABLE1? Or should I equates the table1.name=table2.name??
