Everyone,
Is there a reference to describe the relevance of the Category column in the sysobjects table? I'm trying to track down stored procedures that are set to automatically run at startup and the only thing I can find that is consistent about those that are set to autorun is that they have a value of 16 in the Category column. Is this consistent? What else may I glean from this column?
Thanks
Tim
Hi all,
I have a question about accessing a specific column from the database.
I know when we use: select name from sysobjects would select all the table names and the constraints from the database. I want to select all the column names in each of the table. How can I go about doing this.
Thank you
Greetings:I have to do a one-off forceful change of some data in a database. Ineed to disable some FK constraints, make the data change, and thenre-enable the constraints.My process will be:ALTER TABLE TABLE1 NOCHECK CONSTRAINT FK_TABLE1_TABLE2UPDATE TABLE1 SET COLUMN1=2 WHERE COLUMN2='Problem row'ALTER TABLE TABLE1 CHECK CONSTRAINT FK_TABLE1_TABLE2I wanted to get some evidence that the constraints were back up after Idid the 'check constraint' statements, so I looked in sysobjects.There's a status column for the constraints, but I can't make muchsense of the numbers. Most of the FK constraints that I have notchanged are of status 0, but when I NOCHECK a constraint, it goes to2304. When I CHECK it again, it's 2408.Can someone explain this, and suggest a way to double-check that myconstraints are in fact enabled once I run the CHECK statement?Thanks!!

I have a simple table:
Categories
----------
CategoryID
ParentID
Name
I want to associate my Products to a category so that I can search by category....ok. If I just have a simlpe table:
CategoryProducts
-------------------
CategoryId
ProductId
I can link a product to a category. Now, if I just link a product to a single category, such as the bottom leaf category:
Self Help / Personal Development / Spiritual / Meditation
I would link a product to the Meditation category. However if I
click on Self Help while browsing, I want to see all items underneath
Personal Development, Spiritual and Meditiation. So my question
is is this a good way to store the product-category relationships, or
should I put many entries into CategoryProducts to keep the queries
simlpe and faster? Are they faster doing it this way? In this way there
would be 4 entries for a product in meditation. My personal idea
is that adding all entries up a tree arm of a category path will be
cumbersome to manage, but it does solve the problem of clicking on Self
Help and seeing all products that exist within sub-categories. I
am sure an SQL query would be able to work this out, but I dont know if
performance would be something to consider on an ecommerce site? Are
there any patterns fo rthis stuff - seems a reasonably repeatable
pattern for business sites?
Thanks,
jr.
Hi all,
I have a large dataset (currently 131,000 rows) that looks similar to the following:
ID NewPer NewAmt OldPer OldAmt
334 1/07/08 200 22/01/08 200
2396 1/07/08 4000 10/12/07 3600
7650 1/07/08 1100 07/07/06 1200
.
.
.
and I need to create a session temp table (eg ##output) that translates the calculation (NewAmt - OldAmt) into categories such as
"decrease -201 to -500"
"decrease -1 to -200"
"no change"
"increase 1 to 200"
"increase 201 to 500"
so that my final output would look like this:
ID NewPer NewAmt OldPer OldAmt Change ChangeCategory
334 1/07/08 200 22/01/08 200 0 no change
2396 1/07/08 4000 10/12/07 3600 400 increase 201 to 500
7650 1/07/08 1100 07/07/06 1200 -100 decrease -1 to -200
.
.
.
I understand how to add the "Change" column to my temp output table, but am struggling with the ChangeCategory column - can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance

I used to do this with classic asp but I'm not sure how to do it with .net.Basically I would take a table of Categories, Then I would loop through those. Within each loop I would call another stored procedure to get each item in that Category. I'll try to explain, Lets say category 2 has a player Reggie Bush and a player Drew Brees, and category 5 has Michael Vick, but the other categories have no items.Just for an example.. Category Table: ID Category1 Saints2 Falcons3 Bucaneers4 Chargers5 FalconsPlayer Table:ID CategoryID Player News Player Last Updated1 1 Reggie Bush Poetry in motion 9/21/20062 1 Drew Brees What shoulder injury? 9/18/20063 5 Michael Vick Break a leg, seriously. 9/20/2006 Basically I would need to display on a page:SaintsReggie BushPoetry in MotionFalconsMichael VickBreak a leg, seriously.So that the Drew Brees update doesnt display, only the Reggie Bush one, which is the latest.I have my stored procedures put together to do this. I just don't know how to loop through and display it on a page. Right now I have two datareaders in the code behind but ideally something like this, I would think the code would go on the page itself, around the html.

HI there , i have recently upgraded my publishers to 2005.
Transactional replciation seems to be running fine.
However in SS2000 i always used to query sysobjects on replinfo to see if a table was replicaed and how it was replicated, 1 = snapshot , 3 = transactional etc.
However after upgrading replinfo on sysobjects is 0 for all my articles, whats up with this ?
Must i use sp_helparticle only now? Also how does the system know if an object is replicated now , i used to think it used the replinfo column on sysobjects, how is this different in 2005?
Thanx
Hi there,
Once in a while, I find down there are some missing objects in production database. Because we share the sa password with couple of developers, therefore, it's hard find down who did it. So, I try to create a trigger in sysobjects table to prevent this problem, however, I keep getting the error message "error 229: create trigger permission denied on object 'sysobjects'"
although I log in using sa. Can someone give me some suggestions how to prevent this from happening beside using trace profiler and also why do I get the denied message when create trigger on sysobject even with sa login.
Thanks in advance
hi,
can any one tell what is the difference between data in xtype and type columns in sysobjects?
Hello everyone.
I'm facing to a serious problem.
I wanted to migrate SQL 2000 -> SQL 2005.
First of all, I tried to attach my *.mdf file to SQL 2000. but It was not only failed but also SQL 2005 failed to recover my *mdf file.
Now, I think my *.MDF file has system tables for SQL 2005 because when trying to attach *.mdf to SQL 2000 engine send the following message :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Msg 906, Level 22, State 2, Line 1
Could not locate row in sysobjects for system catalog 'Sysobjects' in database 'rudol.net'. This system catalog should exist in all databases. Run DBCC CHECKTABLE on sysobjects in this database.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, I tried again to attach the *.mdf to SQL 2005 but SQL 2005 doesn't really works.
Stupidly, I didn't back up the *.mdf file.
How do I attach it to SQL 2005 or recovery "sysobjects" table for SQL 2000?
Please answer.
P.S.
Forgive my terrible English. English is not my mother tongue.

I would like to know how can i check from SQL statement that
whether LinkedSERVER exists or not like we search a table from "sysobjects"
Is there a way where i can search my LinkedServer exists ?
if exists (select * from sysobjects where name = ['mylinkedserver'])
Hey all,
Not sure how I did this, but I dropped a table and it still shows up in sysobjects. This breaks a job that rebuilds indexes because the table doesn't exist. I tried recreating and dropping the table, but the extra entry is still there. Would it be okay to just delete the row from sysobjects? This has happened in a 2000 and 2005 db at the same time.
Thanks for any advice.

I've fully verified the correct existence of the table and how it links to the object ID by running statements like:
quote:select * from sysobjects where name = 'MyTable' and type = 'U'
select object_id('MyTable')
select object_name(55671246)
Odd that when selecting data from the table the error refers to the database by the table name. Running checktable on sysobjects shows no errors.
Running sp_help 'MyTable' works and shows the expected results as far as columns, indexes, and such. The table structure is fully visible in Management Studio and can be visually explored. Only when querying data is there an issue.
All tables are owned by dbo.
Ideally I need to recover these tables. If that is impossible, I'd like to remove the tables and cleanly free up all the related data pages.
Any thoughts?
Hi,I'm trying to determine with my program whether or not a given databasesupports a given feature set. To do this I'm querying for certain storedprocedures in the sysobjects table and if they are present, making theassumption the database will support the given feature. The problem is Ican't find a certain stored procedure in the sysobjects table, even though Iknow it exists and can see other similar procedures using:select * from dbo.sysobjects order by nameIts as if all of my other stored procedures are in the sysobjects tableexcept this one, the one I'm specifically querying for. Are there certainreasons why a proc won't appear in the sysobjects table? Is this somethingI need to fix?Thanks,Robin

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I've written a scalar function in C# for the MS SQL Server 2005 that has to have access to two databases in one instance of a server ("database1" and "database2"). I got information from database1, calculate the name of the database2 and got information from user's tables in the database2. But when I'm trying to get informatin from "sys.tables", "sys.columns", "sysobjects" I always get an error "System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: This statement has attempted to access data whose access is restricted by the assembly."
All databases are inside one server, I can run this quieries in SQL Server management Studio - could anybody help me what should I set/change to get metainformation from another database in the same server (in fact I need a list of fields of a curtain table).
Thanks,
Alex Gerasimov
P.S. Atrribute [SqlFunction(DataAccess = DataAccessKind.Read)] is in the applicaiton.
All my online research has told me how to get info about a table field's data using the system tables, but I can't find anything that tells how to get that table field's data specifically. Could be that it's difficult to explain so difficult to search on but I know there has to be a way to do this and it can't be that difficult.
How do I use the system tables sysobjects and syscolumns to give me the data from a specific field in a third table?
Basically I don't want to know the field type for a tables field, I want to know that field's value.
Let's say I have a table called tblCompanies and that table has 4 fields. idCompany, companyName, companyState, and companyCountry.
How can I return the value as a command parameter for any one of the 4 fields using sysobjects and syscolumns?
If I were writing dynamic SQL I would do something like this:
set @valueToReturn = exec ('select ' + @fieldNameToReturn + ' from ' + @tableToSearch + ' where ' + @fieldToMatchOn + ' = ' + @valueToMatchOn)
But I don't want to use dynamic SQL, I want to use the existing system tables to write a straightforward query. My nonfunctioning/English version of this would be:
give me the value for the field name I send in as a string (@fieldNameToReturn)
from the table I send in as a string (@tblToSearch)
where (sysobjects.name = @tblToSearch) and (syscolumns.name = @fieldNameToReturn) and (@tblToSearch.@fieldnameToMatchOn = @valueToMatchAgainst)
I'm using sysobjects and syscolumns because that's where I can use my variables for table name and column name to link. I just can't figure out how to get hold of my actual data table and the values in it.
Does that make any sense to anyone? I'm sure someone has had to want something like this.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I think this should be a dead easy one.
SQL Server 200.
Can I query to find all the tables in a single schema? I can't for the life of me find this one out!

hi all,i was using the system tables namely sysindexes and sysobjects in sql server 2000. But now sql server 2005 is using instead of sql server 2000. Since am using sysindexes and sysobjects, too much time is taking for the execution in sql server 2005. So I need to change the query suitable for sql server 2005.I have read in msdn that the system tables are replaced with corresponding catalog views in sql server 2005. The catelog view for sysobjects is sys.objects. plz check the link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187997.aspxCould anyone please tell me how to replace the sysindexes and sysobjects in the query without rewriting the query too much. If I can replacesysobjects with just sys.objects, then it will be very helpful. Is it possible? And what about sysindexes. Any help anyone could give would be greatly appreciated!
View 8 Replies View RelatedHi,
I granted all the rights on the database to the user (db_owner, public, db_datawriter, etc...) However, I didn't grant the "System Administrators" role. I also specifically granted the select on those tables (sysobjects and sysindexes) for the user and checked through ‘sp_helprotect sysobjects’ command whether there are no specific revokes for for that user.
However, the user is still getting the below error while trying to expand the "Tables" view in the Enterprise Manager.
ERROR 229: SELECT permission denied on object 'sysobjects', database 'My_test', owner 'dbo', SELECT permission denied on object 'sysindexes', database 'My_test', owner 'dbo'.
Also, the user claims that he can’t seem to do anything with the database, he can’t view any objects, and, when he goes to Query Analyzer, if he tries to run a SELECT query on a table (that he know that this table exists), he gets this error:
SELECT permission denied on object 'tblBillingTrans', database 'My_Test', owner 'dbo'.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What are the thoughts on using a categoy table? What I mean by this is to have a table used to hold simply a category identifier for other table(s).
Eg:
Hardware Table
Hadware (PK) | Category (FK) | Description | Finish | etc....
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
P1 | Plate | 4"x4"x1/4 plate | Painted |
HardwareCategories
Category (PK)
-----------------
Plate
Channel
Angle
Should this be done or simply provide a category field in the hardware table? I like the extra table because it kind of ensures that a user doens't add a plate with a category value "Plate", another user adds "plate", and another user adds "Plates", etc....
What are your thoughts if any?

I'm trying to remove a read only/stand by database that I believe was a messed-up attempt at log shipping. When I go through the interface it says 'cannot remove database because it is set up for replication'. If I try and 'directly update' the sys tables (yea I know you can't do that anymore) I get the error:
Msg 259, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Ad hoc updates to system catalogs are not allowed.
So my dilema is I just want to delete a database that was attempting to do log shippinig and is now stuck in read only/standby. How can this be done in SQL 2005?
Thanks,
Phil
