I have to write some reports for a database I am not familiar with. Is there a query I can use to find a table name if I know the field name?
example: Select table_name from database where field_name = 'my_field'

Hello,
Not sure how to do this. I think I need to use a Group By query. I have a "Products" table with the following fields:
Program#
Number
UPC
Item
Item#
Size
Dept
Everything is specific to the Program#. In other words, for every instance of a Program# there can be more than one Product, which is specified by the "Number" field. So: SELECT * FROM Product WHERE [Program#] = '12345' should return this:
12345 | 1 | 000012345678 | Cookies | 98765 | 12ct | Retail |
12345 | 2 | 000012345678 | Cake | 98765 | 12ct | Retail |
12345 | 3 | 000012345678 | Ice Cream | 98765 | 12ct | Retail |
However, some recordsets are returning like this:
12345 | 1 | 000012345678 | Cookies | 98765 | 12ct | Retail
12345 | 1 | 000012345678 | Cake | 98765 | 12ct | Retail
12345 | 2 | 000012345678 | Ice Cream | 98765 | 12ct | Retail
In which case I have to fix them (the "Number" field) with an update query sp they are numbered sequentially. Luckily, this doesn't happen very often.
Can someone help me with a query that will return only those records with duplicate values in the "Number" field? I am not sure how to construct this query which I will use as a stored procedure.
TIA,

I am using sql server as back end. Through connection string
I am getting database name. But in A dropdown I want to show list of table in
that database. And in another B drop down I want to show fields of table
selected in A dropdown. can any one help in getting the field .
The "Last" function in the query below (line 4 & 5) is not exactly what I'm after. The last function finds the last record in that table, but i need to find the most recent record in the table according to a date field.
Code:
SELECT
tblinmate.statusid,
tblinmate.activedate,
Last(tblclassificationhistory.classificationid) AS LastOfclassificationID,
Last(tblsquadhistory.squadid) AS LastOfsquadID,
tblperson.firstname,
tblperson.middlename,
tblperson.lastname,
[Code] ....
The query below finds the most recent record in a table according to a date field, my problem is i dont know how to integrate this Query into the above to replace the "Last" function
Code:
SELECT a.inmateID,
a.classificationID,
b.max_date
FROM (
SELECT tblClassificationHistory.inmateID,
tblClassificationHistory.classificationID,
[Code] .....

What i want to do is i pass input of tableB, column3 and i get name of Primary tableA and field name IDa. How is it possible to do in tsql ?

I need to write a query that will return rows where a specific field begins with a selected string.
Example:
My table is called rf_log
I want to see all rows where the PACKSLIP begins with 'ORD000888'
I tried:
Select *
from rf-log
where PACKSLIP like 'ORD000888'
This returns only rows where the packslip is = ORD000888
I need to see all rows where the packslip begins with ORD000888.

I have the following query in sql 2005:
PROCEDURE [dbo].[uspInsert_Blob] (
@fName varchar(60),
@fType char(5),
@fID numeric(18, 0),
@bID char(3),
@fPath nvarchar(60)
)
as
DECLARE @QUERY VARCHAR(2000)
SET @QUERY = "INSERT INTO tblDocTable(FileName, FileType, ImportExportID, BuildingID, Document)
SELECT '"+@fName+"' AS FileName, '"+@fType+"' AS FileType, " + cast(@fID as nvarchar(18)) + " as ImportExportID, '"+@bID+"' AS BuildingID, * FROM OPENROWSET( BULK '" +@fPath+"' ,SINGLE_BLOB)
AS Document"
EXEC (@QUERY)
This puts some values including a pdf or .doc file into a table, tblDocTable.
Is it possible to change this so that I can get the values from a table rather than as parameters. The Query would be in the form of: insert into tblDocTable (a, b, c, d) select a,b,c,d from tblimportExport.
tblImportExport has the path for the document (DocPath) so I would subsitute that field, ie. DocPath, for the @fPath variable.
Otherwise I can see only doing a Fetch next from tblIportExport where I would put every field into a variable and then run this exec query on these. Thus looping thru every row in tblImportExport.
Any ideas how to do this?
I've tried everything I can think of to find all the records in a table column (lastname) that contain an apostrophe. I know they are there (O'Brian, D'Marcus, etc.) However, I keep getting syntax errors.

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

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):
Table Name: Destination
SrcID MetaID col_int col_char col_date

Greetings, I'm interested in learning how to create queries against a cubes metadata. Specifically I'm interested in writing a aquery, using VB, to return a collection of bottom level members relative to a given member name.
Using the MDX Sample appication I can execute the query:
select
Descendants([Customer].[All Customer].[Canada],,leaves) on columns
from Sales
to get the members, however, the query appears to attempt to bring back data, thus is probably an expensive method.
It would be great to understand how to implement a meta data query without have to resort to recursion,
TIA

Hi,
How canI get all field names in a table using sql query? Now I am not interested in the data in this table, what I am interested in is just the schema, i.e. all field names. Thanks.
SQL table and column metadata
Is there a way to add or update the column or table (using the extended properties) description metadata via T-SQL (from within a stored procedure) or via a program (such as VB.NET using ADO)?
These metadata properties are available via the SSMS interface:
Columns via the Column Properties/Table Designer/Description
Tables via the Table Properties/Extended Properties/[Extended Property Name]
Thanks in advance,
Mark
Hi Friends,
I am trying to write SQL statement for getting information about Cube metadata.
When we create any table in MSSQL server, we can trace out its information from system tables in master database by querying tables like sysobjects, syscolumns etc.
Like that I have created a cube using MS Analysis services and I can see Metadata (like Creation Date, Processed on etc) on 'Metadata' tab of cube. But I want to access its contents by writting SQL statement. For this I could not locate any system level table where this information gets stored.
Could any one help me for writting htis system table level query for accessing metadata info of cube?
Thanks in advance.

I'm curious if there is a way to gather any metadata about a query that was just ran, or about a dynamic query passed in as a parameter, such as being able to "dynamically" return a list of columns in the query, along the lines of:
SELECT * FROM [myTable];
SELECT @@COLUMNS --Expecting this to return a recordset of columns for the previously run query
I'm not talking about querying metadata about the tables themselves, I'm really looking for what "metadata" might be available about the query itself.
This would be useful for me to dynamically generate some code for ad-hoc queries with a stored procedure call, or to simply return a list of just column names only without the data.
Is this at all possible in SQL Server?
hi, i need help with a query:SELECT Headshot, UserName, HeadshotId FROM tblProfile INNER JOIN Headshots ON Headshots.ProfileId=tblProfile.ProfileId WHERE (UserName= @UserName) this query will select what I want from the database, but the problem is that I have multiple HeadshotIds for each profile, and I only want to select the TOP/highest HeadshotId and get one row foreach headshotId. Is there a way to do that in 1 SQL query? I know how to do it with multiple queries, but im using SqlDataSource and it only permits one. Thanks!

I wanted to test how SQL server 2005 works with Boolean values.
so I created this table
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[BoolTest](
[ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Operand1] [bit] NULL,
[Operand2] [bit] NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_BoolTest] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[ID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
I populated it like so
insert dbo.booltest (operand1, operand2) values (1,1)
insert dbo.booltest values (1,0)
insert dbo.booltest values (1,null)
insert dbo.booltest values (0,0)
insert dbo.booltest values (0,null)
Then I tried this
select case when operand1 OR operand2 then 'True' else 'False' End
from dbo.booltest where id=1
thinking that since row 1 has 1 and 1 I'll get 'True' as a string showing in the output window
but instead I got this error
Msg 4145, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near 'OR'.
question:
how do you work with bit value table Fields as booleans in a boolean test
many thanks in advance for your time/help

We have the following two tables :
Link ( GroupID int , MemberID int )
Member ( MemberID int , MemberName varchar(50), GroupID varchar(255) )
The Link table contains the records showing which Member is in which Group. One particular Member can be in
multiple Groups and also a particular Group may have multiple Members.
The Member table contains the Member's ID, Member's Name, and a Group ID field (that will contains comma-separated
Groups ID, showing in which Groups the particular Member is in).
We have the Link table ready, and the Member table' with first two fields is also ready. What we have to do now is to
fill the GroupID field of the Member table, from the Link Table.
For instance,
Read all the GroupID field from the Link table against a MemberID, make a comma-separated string of the GroupID,
then update the GroupID field of the corresponding Member in the Member table.
Please help me with a sql query or procedures that will do this job. I am using SQL SERVER 2000.
I have a table (ScriptTable) which holds a groupID Nvarchar(10) ,SQLStatement Nvarchar (150)
Table Fields =
GroupID SQLStatement
1234 Select CUSTNO, CUSTNAME,CUSTADDRESS from custtable where customerNo = 'AB123'
9876 Select CUSTNO, CUSTNAME,CUSTADDRESS from custtable where customerNo = 'XY*'
What I need is to take each select statement in turn and add the data into a temp table. I can use any method but it needs to be the most efficient. There can also be a varying number of select statements to run through each time my job is run.
I am having one store procedure which use to load data from flat file to staging table dynamically.everything is working fine. staging_temp table have single column.all the data stored in that single column below is the sample row.
AB¯ALBERTA ¯93¯AI
AI¯ALBERTA INDIRECT ¯94¯AI
AL¯ALABAMA ¯30¯
after the staging_temp data gets inserted into main table.my probelm is to handle such a file where number of columns are more than the actual table.if you see the sample rows there are 4 column separated by "¯".but actual I am having only 3 columns in my main table.so how can I get only first 3 column from the satging_temp table.output should be like below.
