In the olden days when I used databases that kept each table in a separate file, I used to be able to tell when a specific table was modified by the date stamp on the file.
Is there a method in SQL server to check the "last modifed date" at the table level?
I'm working on an ASP.Net project where I want to test code on a localmachine using a local database as a back-end, and then export it tothe production machine where it uses the hosting provider's SQL Serverdatabase on the back-end. Is there a way to export tables from oneSQL Server database to another in such a way that if a table alreadyexists in the destination database, it will be updated to reflect thechanges to the local table, without existing data in the destinationtable being lost? e.g. suppose I change some tables in my localdatabase by adding new fields. Can I "export" these changes to thedestination database so that the new fields will be added to thedestination tables (and filled in with default values), without losingdata in the destination tables?If I run the DTS Import/Export Wizard that comes with SQL Server andchoose "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the source database" and choosethe tables I want to copy, there is apparently no option *not* to copythe data, and since I don't want to copy the data, that choice doesn'twork. If instead of "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the sourcedatabase", I choose "Copy objects and data between SQL Serverdatabases", then on the following options I can uncheck the "CopyData" box to prevent data being copied. But for the "CreateDestination Objects" choices, I have to uncheck "Drop destinationobjects first" since I don't want to lose the existing data. But whenI uncheck that and try to do the copy, I get collisions between theproperties of the local table and the existing destination table,e.g.:"Table 'wbuser' already has a primary key defined on it."Is there no way to do what I want using the DTS Import/Export Wizard?Can it be done some other way?-Bennett
If we want to get the changes happened in database we will get through sys.objects or sys.tables .but we are only getting it table name . But how to get by table name and what the column added to that table or what column has been modified (datatype or constraint) .
For example if i added employee table column called deptid it should be shown in changes in geiven date
SELECT modify_date ,type_desc ,name FROM sys.objects WHERE is_ms_shipped=0 --AND modify_date>='yyyy/mm/dd' <--optionally put in your date here ORDER BY 1 DESC
How to get column name of a table which is modified...

i want to check a value in 2 tables. the 1st table i want to check if the value exists and from the 2ed table i samething. i came up with this but when it's doing the second if i get error on the page.

Is it possible in SQL to Restrict value in one table checking a value on anather tables.
Scenerio-1.
I have two table let say, Teb1 and Teb2. Teb1 has a column called- Business_type and Teb2 has a coulmn called Incorporated_date. I just need to restrict If the value of Business_type column in Teb1 is "Propritory" then Incorporated_date in Teb2 should not be blank (nulll) . Otherwise it can take null value.
Scenerio -2.[/B]
I have table called [B]SIC.
This table has a two column called SIC1 anc SIC2 . Is it possible to restrict that clumn SIC1 and SIC2 should have same values( duplicate values cannot be entered in both columns.
For every table in my database there is a duplicate table with same columns. For example, employee is the name of main table, there is employee_dup table in same database.
There is only one column extra in _dup tables i.e.,idn column.
Now, I want to know all the columns present in main table which are not present in corresponding _dup table. There might be a chance of missing one or two columns in _dup tables. So i want a query to find out all the columns present in main table that are not present in hx table.
ok, ill lay it out like this, and try not to be too confusing.
I need to check my trasaction table to see that the user with a UserID bought, keeping track(adding up) of how many times they bought the Product with a productID, , then i need to selcect items from product table with the productID for the items the user bought,
i know how to return the product information, and how to check the tranaction table and i think how to add up the amount of tranastions for that item
so bacially i need to select data from a product table, for the products that the user bought tahts stored in the transaction table.
well i tried not to be confusing, but i think i failed

Hello, I have an SSIS package that affects data in fourteen tables. This SSIS packge is supposed to insert, update, delete and apply various business rules to the data in the new database tabes in the same way that it occurs in the DTS package that affects the old tables in the former database.
After both the DTS packge and SSIS packages are run, the data in the fourteen tables from both databases need to mirror each other. I figure this is the best way that I can know that the new SSIS package is working correctly.
Is there something I can do in an SSIS package that can compare all of the tables between the two databases, record for record then (maybe as error output) produce output in the case where a mistmatch was detected between two given tables? Would a lookup transformation be helpful for this kind or thing, or should I think about doing it some other way?
The old database is on SQL Server 2000, and the new one on SQL Server 2005 64 bit. I've run into problems creating a linked server between the two to where I could just run queries to do this kind of check.
I have a tables called subsid that I need to change the datatype fromtext to int.I think I got them all but is there a query I can run that will checkall fields call subsid accross all tables that are of type text.
To take it one step further, I would also like to be able to show the min date from table2 only when that min date is within a certain range, i.e. between 1/1/2012 - 12/31/2012, else it just remains a null in the results.
I am really stuck here, I hope to get some helpful answers on this forum.
Ok, I have three four tables in my db, 1- Stages 2- Activities 3- Tasks 4- Subtasks Structure is like: Stages 1- SrNo (Unique) 2- Stage 3- StartDate 4- FinishDate
Now what i want is to update Tasks, StartDate and FinishDate according the Min(StartDate) and Max(FinishDate) of related Subtasks and same for Activities and Stages. I have tried following query to Update tasks, StartDate and FinishDate
Update Tasks Set Tasks.StartDate=(Select Min(Subtasks.StartDate) from Subtasks,Tasks where Tasks.SrNo=Subtasks.SrNo1) from Subtasks,Tasks where Tasks.SrNo=Subtasks.SrNo1
But this query updates all Tasks with Min and Max date from Subtasks regardless of their relation.
How can I do this with Parameters? I can get a single parameter to filter for a single date (or even a combo list of the dates in DB). But I want my parameters to interact so that they specify a range. Is this possible?
Today I have got one scenario to calculate the (sum of days difference minus(-) the dates if the same date is appearing both in assgn_dtm and complet_dtm)/* Here goes the table schema and sample data */
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[temp_tbl]') AND type in (N'U')) DROP TABLE [dbo].[temp_tbl] GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[temp_tbl]( [tbl_id] [bigint] NULL, [cs_id] [int] NOT NULL, [USERID] [int] NOT NULL,
I have a table that has hotel guests and their start stay date and end stay date, i would like to insert into a new table the original information + add all days in between.
Is there any way for me to return the row that was last entered? If so, how do I go about accomplishing this?
For example,
Column1-Plant NameColumn2-Creation DateColumn3-Comments Bayport 12305/24/01 2:51 AMAirflow became unstable Bayport 12305/24/01 4:00 AM Bayport 12305/24/01 5:36 AMNo events Bayport 12305/24/01 1:00 PM Bayport 12305/26/01 2:45 PMNo events Bayport 12305/26/01 3:12 PMStarted liquifier 25% LIN Bayport 405/24/01 2:51 AMSwung liquifier 0% to LIN Bayport 405/26/01 5:45 AM Bayport 405/26/01 5:15 PMLiquifuer @ 25% LIN Coatesville05/24/01 9:32 AM Coatesville05/26/01 4:25 PMNo events
If I were to query against 5/26, I would want my result to return as: Bayport 123 5/26/01 3:12 PM (because this was the last row entered on the 26th) Started liquifier 25% LIN.

I am taking a "complete backup" of my production db every day using Backupagent of Arcserver 2000. But the Modified Date of .mdf and .ldf files show an older date. Is it normal? Thanks Wilson
Here's an updated version of bigtables.sql that also displays the ratio of index size to data size and the percentage of unused space per table. I've found the index to data ratio particularly helpful for finding and fixing over-indexing.

Hello,Is there a way in MSSQL server to find all the objects in the databasebased on the modified date rather than the created date.Thanks in advanceKumu
I want to know if there is a way to compare dates in the sql statement with dates that I input into a database and todays date. the datatype that I'm using is smalldatetime.The statement I used is:Select Date from Table where Date > 'Today.now'I get an errorCould this be done or is there another approach?

Does anyone know how to get a table's 'last modified date' in SQL 7 ? Sysobjects contains the 'create date', but I can't find a 'last modified date' anywhere......
My manager ask me to provide him with the total number of records which have been added, deleted or modified on a certain database in SQL Server 2000 during the month of September. Is there away to get that information from the transaction log or by any how?
I have data that sometimes will be modify. when modify the new data will be insert and the old data still remain inside the database. The same item have their own unique id. So I want to query the data that last modified. How?
if you all add ID's with your Inserts and Modified (Date) fields. Such as 1 would indicate if the record was inserted manually, whereas 2 might indicate it was update or inserted by a web application.
