Cannot Copy Field Names In Column Headings From View Results
Jan 8, 2007
When I am using a SQL Query I have an ability to control whether or not I am able to Include the Column Headers when copying or saving results.
The control exists in the Options > Query Results > Results to Grid > Include column headings etc.
My question is how to get this same ability when attempting to copy the results of a VIEW vs. a Query.
The idea is that when I setup a view it€™s a drag/drop type of query building (query building for dummies if you will). Once I have a view and click the Execute icon it will return all the records selected by the View. However, when I click the upper left/top box to select all rows and column and then try to copy/paste the records into Excel all the data copies just fine but the field name/column headers are not there.
How can I get the header fieldname date to copy/paste from View result set that I'm able to copy from a Query result set?
Thank you,
Mike

In SQL 2005 - when I display the results of a View and Copy all rows and columns, the resulting Paste in Excel does not include the column names.
How can I set SQL 2005 so the names of the columns will come along with the content of the copy function?

I am looking for an example of a store procedure that will run a existing view and copy the results to a table. Every time it runs the table needs to be truncated. Will run once a day.
My view is a follows
SELECT PClass
FROM mydatabase.dbo.ProductClassDes
WHERE (ProductClass <> '_RBS') AND (ProductClass <> '_EDT') AND (ProductClass <> '_BMS') AND (ProductClass <> '_PAZ') AND (ProductClass <> '_PBC')
View results need to be copied to a table tblCurrentProductClasses that will only contain one field PClass.

Hi,
I have a table of results for various measured quantites and i need to turn this into a view. Only problem is i need to seperate the measured quantities and their respective values into seperate columns.
At the moment I have something like:
Quantity : Value
--------------------
Quantity 1 : 0.12
Quantity 1 : 0.56
Quantity 2 : 2.36
Quantity 2 : 5.34
Quantity 2 : 4.13
Quantity 3 : 10
Quantity 3 : 15
and I need a view that looks like:
Quantity 1 : Quantity 2 : Quantity 3
-------------------------------------
0.12 : 2.36 : 10
0.56 : 5.34 : 15
null(?) : 4.13 : null(?)
I've tried using pivots but they don't seem to help
Any ideas?

I have consistent column names that load into a grid view. I now need to change the names in the grid view programatically. I was originally trying to get cute with SQL to do this, but I've been told my below solution will not work and I'm better off to do this in the presentation layer. If this is true, remember I'm still wet behind the ears here...how do I do this in vs2005?
Here's my post to the SQL devs to give you an idea what I'm trying to do.
I have a query that grabs fields from a denormalized table. The result is column names Week1, Week2, Week3....Week26. Users want to see the actual date instead of Week#. So I have a table (lkpdatecaptions ) that contains the fields "fldfieldno" and "Fldcaption". fldfieldno Fldcaption----------- --------------11 9/07/200712 9/14/200713 9/21/2007So fieldno 11 represent week1 and so on. So my hope is to update the alias with a query like: Select fldcaption from forecast.tlkpdatecaptionswhere fldfieldno = 11That quey returns the value of 9/7/2007 and is the value I need to represent the coumn alias name.My current query looks like this:SELECT SUM(forecast.tblforecastdenormalized.fldwk01) AS WEEK1,So can I do something like the following?SELECT SUM(forecast.tblforecastdenormalized.fldwk01) AS (Select forecast.tlkpdatecaptions.fldcaption from forecast.tlkpdatecaptions where fldfieldno = 11), ...

I want to pass user-defined column names to views or procedures
I am using SQL Server 2005 Express.
I tried this.
CREATE PROCEDURE @userDefinedColumn varChar(10) = 'My_Column'
select @userDefinedColumn, count(ID) as [Total Records] from My_Table
GROUP BY @userDefinedColumn
This was not accepted. It won't allow a user defined parameter in the group by.
But I need to pass user defined parameters to views as well.

I use the following to get the column names from a table but it is giving the error "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'Where'"
Here is the Stored Proc:
CREATE PROCEDURE usp_GetTemplatePrompts
@cCode varchar(5)
AS
declare @cTableName varchar(100), @iError int, @cError varchar(255)
SELECT @cTableName = s.TableName
FROM tbShapes AS s INNER JOIN tbProductCodes AS pc
ON s.Shape = pc.fkShape
WHERE pc.Code = @cCode
SELECT @iError = @@Error
if(@iError = 0)
BEGIN
EXEC('SELECT * FROM ' + @cTableName + ' WHERE Template = 0')
SELECT @iError = @@Error
END
if(@iError <> 0)
BEGIN
set @cError = 'Error while attempting to get input fields for product ' + @cCode + '.'
RAISERROR(@cError, 16, 1)
END
GO
The table structure is as follows:
tbProductAccounts
Account (PK) | Description
tbProductCodes
Code (PK) | fkAccount | fkShape | Description
tbShapes
Shape (PK) | TableName | ShapeName
tbDoubleT
Template (PK) | fkCode | SectionName | Width | Height | Flange
tbRectangular
Template (PK) | fkCode | SectionName | Width | Height
tbCircular
Template (PK) | fkCode | SectionName | Radius
tbTSection
Template (PK) | fkCode | SectionName | X1 | Y1 | X2 | Y2
Any ideas?

This may be a stupid question, but I have a table of orders that consists of various data. I want to take by date all orders that have been completed but have not had a previous order in 180 days. I have this part done. What gets returned is Date, Count, Status. What I want to get is the various status's returned as headings. So I get Data, Total Order Count, Completed Count, Abandoned Count, etc. I'm returning this data to Excel for display. My original thought was seperate queries, but some of the data will not have a count so the ordering would be off. Any ideas?

Hi,
I've got an IS package which reads a lot of records from a text file and loads that into the database. The text file has column such as Firstname, Lastname, phone number etc and same as the database table.
The problem:
IS works fine if I have the text file columns in the same order as the database columns but for example if have phone number in the place of firstname (in the text file) IS puts the phone numbers as firstname in the database and moves all the columns dow the order.
Is there anyway I could force IS to use the heading names in the text file and put it in the appropriate database columns?
Thanks guys...

Greetings,
I have generated a report that requires the user to scroll down the page since it is fairly long. I want to be able to show the column headings as the report is being scrolled. Much like excel locking the column headings as you would scroll down the spreadsheet so you know what values correspond to what heading. How do I configure this report to do this? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

We have a query in which we have data in fields called TS1Min, TS1Max, TS1Avg, TS2Min, TS2Max, TS2Avg etc.
We have a different table in which we define that vale of TS1, TS2, as an example TS1 might equal RED, TS2 might equal BLUE.
We have written a query that puts TS1Min, TS1Max, TS1Avg, TS2Min, TS2Max, TS2Avg in a temp table #TEMPA
and we also put the values of RED and BLUE in another temp table #TEMPB
now we want to select * from #TEMPA but rename the headings TS1Min to display RED-TS1Min, TS1Max as RED-TS1Max, TS1Avg as RED-TS1Avg etc...
any ideas on how to do this

I am relatively new to SQL and have experience with relatively simple queries and data manipulation. I have just finished creating a fully normalized database, which, of course, is presenting me with a few problems retrieving data. I'm not sure if I'm even taking the right approach. Anyway, I am trying to create a web search with a filter. I want my filter to be based upon different columns in a view, rather than rows in one column. I have the following columns:
Emp_Title, Department_Name Company_Name Office_Location, Practice_Area_Name, Practice_Group_Name, School_Name, Emp_Zip_Code
I want to populate a drop list with these column headings. So I thought I would need a way to make a dummy column named Category or something, and then make each of these columns a row in the the Category colum. Can that be done?
Any help would be appreciated.

we'd like our users to have the option of choosing the language (eg French) for column headings (maybe report heading too). I'm sure I'd have to provide the translations somehow but I'd like to know what feature, if any in RS2005 comes the closest to doing/supporting this, even if it is something like making column headings themselves dependent on a variable?

I'm using isqlw to generate delimited text files from scripts. There are several SET options available so that you can restrict the output to just the data in the script, for example SET NOCOUNT ON.
I can't find a similar SET option to suppress the column headings, although there is a tickbox that allows you to do this in Query Analyzer (Query -> Current Connection Options -> Advanced -> Print Headers)
DTS packages appear to support this, yet I can't find the setting from a dts file.
Thanks,
Paul

I wonder if anyone can help with this. I have searched around and not found much on the topic which can resolve my problem.
History on the reason for using VBA and not C# or VB or VB.net etc. Whn I arrived at this company, there were no development tools so had to resort to Access and VBA. Of course, the routines I wrote are now set in production and I haven't had much time to convert them to c# and ASP.NET (which I have learnt over the past couple of years).
Anyway the problem is that I found on the SQLDTS.com site that I could in fact create and execute DTS packages within VB and followed the examples and got this working in VBA. Of course I created the DTS first and then saved it as VB, then used the resulting code with the VBA project etc etc. This worked well and we were happy.
The DTS packages I create and execute are to export data from SQL2000 tables to tabs in Excel spreadsheets.
Now I find that on my machine, when the objPkg.execute command runs, the Excel file is created but only the query column headings are populated into the excel file. No data is returned.
If I run this on a different machine it works (although having said that, the other machine is now starting to display similar behaviour on some routines).
we created a version of the Access 2000 MDB in Access 2003 some time ago and the Access 2000 still behaves correctly. The strange thing is that my machine has only started doing this incorrectly a little while ago (not sure how long now but could be as little as a couple of months). The routines are monthly processes so it's only going to show up as a problem once a month so the fact that it used to work on my machine and has only failed the last couple of times means that something must have changed on my setup. I am runningXP-Pro SP2 - fully patched, Office Pro 2003 and talking to SQL 2000 SP3a
is it possible that some windows updates or office updates are clobbering something which used to work?
If I allow the VBA to create the DTS but not execute it, I can execute the created DTS manually from SQLEM and it outputs data correctly.
No security access to the SQL databases/table has changed, nor have there been any changes to security on the file system where the files are written.
It's weird.
Any help would be gratefully accepted.

Hi,
I have a simple enough task to complete that I can€™t seem to find the answer to.
The task is this €“
Select table x from the database and write it to a flat file complete with that tables column headings.
Now I€™ve managed to set up an ole db datasource and selected the table and I€™ve also linked it to the flat file output. So now I can generate a flat file from the database. However no column headings appear in the flat file.
I can€™t seem to find anywhere (like a checkbox) that will also output the column headings to the flat file.
Now I can add in Headings manually in the properties of the Flat File Destination object but the columns that appear in the flat file don€™t appear to be in the order that I requested them in the SQL.
So the question is how do I automatically have the column headings appear for flat file output (ideally without me having to manually add them in).
If it can€™t be done and I have to use a vb.net script instead then would anyone have an example script of how to do it?
Thanks in advance for anyone who manages to answer this.
Matt.

I'm trying to do an update query that looks like this:
UPDATE
PAEMPLOYEE
SET PAEMPLOYEE.LOCAT_CODE = EMPLOYEE.PROCESS_LEVEL
FROM
PAEMPLOYEE A
JOIN EMPLOYEE B ON A.EMPLOYEE = B.EMPLOYEE
It's erroring out on the Employee prefix B.EMPLOYEE saying:
..."does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query"
Is it wrong or will it cause problems to have a field name the same as the table name?

we are running 2014 enterprise. A couple of column headings (even with smaller font) are a little tall, as much as 6 "lines".   All headings in the respective matrices are aligned vertically as "bottom". When I save the report to excel, these taller headings get chopped off visually in their excel cell.  The cell contains the entire heading. It appears that the second "line" of the heading is the one that is most visible in excel.Â
How do I get these to be saved so user will see entire heading when opening excel doc? In the first matrix there is a text box directly above the matrix and only one row of column headings. In the second there is a higher column group heading containing month name above the problem headings.Â

I am imagining something you might pass the names of 2 stored procs (an old version and new one), and a query to produce valid parameters. It would then fire off each proc for a set number of executions, while storing off the results in temp tables, and at the end it would do a data compare, and store off performance data from dynamic management views.
Now I know how to get the parameters for a stored procedure out of the catalogue views, but is SQL Server aware at all of the schema of the results of stored procedures that return result sets, becuase I was thinking of doing something like...
INSERT INTO #datacompare(col1,col2)
EXEC mystoredprocedure
... but I can not seem to figure out how to dynamically gather the schema of the result set.

The code:
select name from master.dbo.sysdatabases order by 1doesn't return the sysdatabase names to the ASP.NET webpage when executing the stored procedure. It returns: System.Data.DataRowViewWhy does it do this and how can I fix it?Tx

Is there anyway to determine what the resulting Field Names are going to be from a SQL Statement?
For example:
SELECT TABLE1.FIELD1, TABLE1.FIELD2, TABLE1.FIELD3, TABLE2.FIELD1 AS ANOTHERNAME
FROM TABLE1 INNER JOIN TABLE2 ON TABLE1.PK = TABLE2.FK
resulting field names:
FIELD1
FIELD2
FIELD3
ANOTHERNAME
Seems easy enough splitting all values before "FROM" by comma and doing some manipulation to remove table names and anything before the word "AS". However, it gets more difficult when you have complex CASE statements embedded in you query that may also contain commas.
Just a shot in the dark because I don't know if anyone has already done something like this before.
Thank you in advance,
Jeff
