Checking If Somthing Is In A Database?
Apr 22, 2008
I am very VERY new to using Visual Studios...
I have a SQL database with a table in it "table1" inside the table there is a field "ID"
I have made a new website project thing, and I have a textbox and a submit button
What I want to do is make a function that will check if what the user has typed into ID is valid, e.g. it exists in the database
Can anyone point me in the right direction about how I could do this?
Thanks very much

Which is the best way to check the size of a database from Transact SQL ? (Selecting from Sysfiles gives a totally different result compared to right-clicking a database and selecting Properties. It's the result from the latter than I want to obtain through Transact sQL.)

I have written some code that selects all the databases on our server then uses a while loop to execute some dynamic sql to query a table in each database. The problem is some of the databases dont have the correct permissions so the query breaks. Is it possible to check to see if the database has the correct permissions before I execute the dynamic SQL and if it doesn't move onto the next one in the list?

I would like to be able to check if a certain entry exists in a SQL table. Ideally, the output would be a boolean so I can use it in an IF statement which would tell it what to do depending on whether or not the entry exists. Thanks for anyone that helps. :)

I am fairly new to SQl and PHP and have a question. I have a database that we enter in when a person buys a season ticket for our baseball team. I want to check and see who bought in 2013 but has not yet bought in 2014. How do I do that?
THID is the ticket holder ID and there is a year. I can do the select * from Passes where Year = '2014' and get everyone who has bought in 2014. How do I compare that with the 2013 and show people who have not bought yet in 2014?
Example entry:
THID PassType Year
15 2 2013
21 1 2013
10 1 2013
21 1 2014
With this - Ticket holder 21 has bought in both years so I wouldn't want his name to come up. I would want to see that ticket holders 15 and 10 haven't yet bought in 2014.

When my app starts up I want to ensure that the database compatibility level has been set to 90. I know about sp_dbcmptlevel, but that only seems to work in an interactive session; the documentation says it can't be used in a stored procedure, and that appears to be true. Does anyone know how I could read the database compatibility level in a stored proc?

Hi all,
While cleaning up some code, I ran across the following statement in a stored proc - the purpose of which is to determine if a table exists in the local database: SELECT * FROM dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[XML_PRINTDATE]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1of course I removed it from the IF just for testing purposes, but my quandry is this...
Why chose that select (converting table name to object ID) rather than just doing THIS:SELECT * FROM dbo.sysobjects where name = N'XML_PRINTDATE' and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1
I first thought it was to gain access to the "id" column value (and that may yet be the purpose of it), but the second code seems to work just peachy (I assume because the id column is present in the sysobjects table itself).
A follow-on question is this:
When I try to do the same check from another server (i.e.SELECT * FROM APRECEIVE1.DailyProd.dbo.sysobjects where name = N'XML_PRINTDATE' and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1) it of course fails because OBJECTPROPERTY only looks for the id on the local database.
So, do I CARE if it is a user table? (I am reasonably sure it is, of course) and if so, is there a way to check on the remote server for the object type?
Bottom line is I Think I can just simplify things and check for the object name on the remote server, but just don't want to take away any "warm fuzzy feeling" generated by the original stored proc, if such a warm fuzzy is of any benefit (though don't get me started on the relativity of warm fuzzies, I wrote my Thesis on that ;) )

I have a form view that I am using to insert new data into a sql express database and would like to find a way to avoid attempting to insert a record if the key already exists. is there a way to do this with the formview insert command. Everything works great until I try to add a record with an already existing value in the unique key field, then it breaks.

Hello,
is there a way to find out that SQL Server 2005 (Express) engine is performing startup checked of a selected database?
The problem we are faced to is that our users shutdown brutally their laptops running their database. When they start laptops again, they impatiently start the application that tries to connect to the database. However, they get an error message:
Cannot open database XXXXX requested by the login. The login failed.
When they try after a minute or two, it works.
What we would like to do is provide an information message that the SQL server is checking the database and that they must wait for a while. Is there is a specific error code for this, can anyone help? We are using .NET 2.0.
Thank you,
Jan

Hi,
I want to assign a list columns to be the PK on a table. I don't know what this list of columns would be.How do I go about figuring that?
Sample Data
Col1...Col2...Col3..Col4
1...........2.......A......X
1...........2........B.....X
1...........2.......A......Y
As you can see Col1 & Col2 ONLY do not make up the PK. I need to include Col3 as well. My concern is I am not sure if I have a row like..
1...........2.......A......X reapeated lower down the order. So how do I figure the PK out?
Thanks

Can someone show me some C# code for detecting if a SQL row exists or not? This seems like a very typical action and I cannot for the life of me find a tutorial online that explains this step. In my code I'm either going to INSERT or UPDATE a record. I tried sending a SELECT command through a ExecuteNonQuery, but only got -1 as a response. Apparently ExecuteNonQuery does not work with SELECT. I then saw that T-SQL has an EXISTS keyword, but I cannot see anyway to use that from within C#.So...can anyone share the typical code they use to identify if a row exists or not within a database. I guess I was execting there to be some method available to do this sort of thing.

I've forgotten the character set that I've chosen when I was installing the SQL Server 7. Is there a way to check?
I'm currently using US English version of Windows NT4 and SQL7. But interestingly, all the data is in Japanes characters. It's actually for a Japanese website, and the front-end application is written in ASP. I remember reading somewhere that it is impossible to do certain type of sorting (by some particular order for the Japanese language) as it is limited by the choice of the language of the NT OS.
The type of sorting that I'm looking at is the grouping of 5-characters. One example is in http://www.forest.impress.co.jp/aiueo.html
Would this be possible with my current setup? Or would it help if I migrate over to Windows 2000? (I'd rather not move to Japanese NT4)
Your feedback and advice would be very much appreciated!

Hi,
Just a brief question. I have a script which does a number of insert statements. What I would like to do is determine if the insert statements were all successful. Aside from checking @@ERROR after every insert, is there a way to check if all the insert statements completed successfully?
Thanks,
Jim

I want to do a check to see if a number falls within a range specified by the user. Basically, they enter in a min and max value and I return a hit if a number falls inbetween.
I have having trouble with my SQL statement:
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT *
FROM Table
WHERE ( (0=0)
AND
(min.value <= Table.Value <= max.value) )
(This isn't my actual code, but just the logic)
It will return all the results everytime. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could be missing here?
Thanks in advance!

I have a question I hope someone can help me with.
My situation:
I have a single-step job in SQL Server, which runs a stored procedure, A. This stored procedure invokes another stored procedure, B. In B, one of the statements is a 'BACKUP DATABASE' command, and a database is backed up to a file.
The job is started by an application. Once started, the application then uses the SQL-DMO property CurrentRunStatus to periodically check the status of the job. When the property returns the value SQLDMOJobExecution_Idle (indicating the job has completed), the application code then continues processing, and attempts to access the .dat file produced by the 'BACKUP DATABASE' command.
My problem:
On occasion, the application will hit the problem where either the backup file cannot be located, or the file is still being locked by another process (Error=The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process).
Is anyone able to shed some light on this?
I assume that the job will only return a completed status after:
(a) both A and B have completed execution, and
(b) the BACKUP operation has completed
Is it possible that even though SQL Server indicates the job has finished, that the BACKUP operation still hasn't completely ended?
Thanks for any help,
Andrew

Our System currently has on the upwards of 300 stored procedures in it.
We have SP's that call SP's that call SP's and sometimes a Stored Procedure will return 10 ResultSets which are used by .NET.
Some of our developers do not check other stored procedures when they modify the SP parameters, and in doing so break the system until the testers find it.
is there a way to run a command to check ALL the stored procedures to see if they work, they match the SP they're calling, etc?

SQL Server allows for a user to have SELECT permission on a View withoutthat user requiring an associated SELECT permission on the underlying tablethat the VIEW accesses, but the user can still access the data through theView. A similar arrangement holds true for stored procedures.So based on these initial known behaviours, I have a couple of questions:1. If a stored procedure A executes stored procedure B, does the user of Arequire execute permission for B also? Or will access to B be permittedregardless because the user was given access to A?2. Similarly, if a stored procedure A accesses a View, does the user of Arequire permissions on the referenced View?I guess to paraphrase what I am trying to determine is whether SQL Serveronly checks permissions at the "entry" point of a particular function, orwhether permission checks are performed "intra-function". My openingexamples imply they are only checked "on entry", but I am wondering if thisbehaviour is entirely consistent. Perhaps the SQL Standard mandates this?

I have built a procedure to send mail using OLE Automation and want to be able to trap error information when it doesn't work. So in an attempt to do that I have the following stored procedure that will return informaiton if the return value is <> 0. Here is how it is being used:
IF @return <> 0
BEGIN
EXECUTE sp_displayoaerrorinfo @handle, @return
END
ELSE
PRINT 'Success'
This works fine, but I would like to write the error message to a table and so I thought I could just alter to to be:
IF @return <> 0
BEGIN
EXECUTE sp_displayoaerrorinfo @handle, @return = @failure
END
ELSE
PRINT 'Success'
Where @failure is a variable I declared earlier. Then I could insert the value of this variable along with some other infomration into a table that would track the errors. However, when I do this I receive the following:
Error: Procedure or Function 'sp_DisplayOAErrorInfo' expects parameter '@HResult', which was not supplied. Number:201 Severity:16 State:4
So it isn't seeing that I am passing two variables into the stored procedure. I know I must be missing something simple but I've tried a bunch of different itterations and can't seem to get it right. Any help would be great. Thanks.
