Description Column In SP

Dec 17, 2013

I am having trouble bringing "description" column in to my sp and them at the out put. in the ppatient_status_mstr there is a column called“description” which has patient status such as “discharged” “termed collection” etc... How do I use the SP to bring this description into application? I am assigning it to @mytext. I am not sure how to declare “description” in the SP? Every time I use it I get errors like:

Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Procedure CheckStatus, Line 20
The multi-part identifier "pm.alerts_ind" could not be bound.
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Procedure CheckStatus, Line 40
Invalid column name 'description'.
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Procedure CheckStatus, Line 43
Invalid column name 'description'.

I want to say if user picks a description from application . show me that description in output. But I am having trouble how to use the description? I am not sure if my “IF” statements are correct either?

Here is the procedure

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[CheckStatus] (@enc_id varchar(36) OUTPUT, @Mytext varchar(50) OUTPUT, @data_ind Char(1) OUTPUT)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
@alerts_ind char(1)

[code]....

Selecting The Column Description In 2005

Aug 3, 2006

I am migrating between SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 but hit a snag when attempting to write a query to display the column's description.

I used this code with SQL Server 2000 to get the "Description" data.

select o.name 'table' , c.name 'column' , p.value as 'description' , t.name 'datatype' , c.isnullable 'nullable?' , c.length, m.text 'default_text' from sysobjects o

join syscolumns c on o.id = c.id

join sysproperties p on o.id = p.id and p.smallid = c.colid

join systypes t on c.xtype = t.xtype

left outer join syscomments m on m.id = c.cdefault

order by 'table' , 'column'

How can I reproduce this with SQL Server 2005? I tried using the following which gives me a lot of the same data but not "Description":

SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Setting The Column Property Description With A SQL Function Call

Feb 2, 2008

I am trying to figure out how to set the Description of a Column in my database table by making a SQL function call. I know that I can go into Microsoft Studio Express and type in each desciption for each column. I just have about 1000 variables and each variable's description is in an Excel spreadsheet. I want to be able to build SQL code that will set each of the 1000 variables own description.

Thanks for any help.

ErrorCode Description

Dec 11, 2007



This is a request to the Microsoft SSIS staff.
I did a search for the keywords in the description and can already see a lot of people frustrated about this.

A lot of well designed integration packages will route error messages to an error table or file.
SSIS appends a couple of extra error columns called ErrorCode and ErrorColumn. At runtime, an extra
column is visible in the DataViewer called ErrorCode - Description.

The description is hardcoded into the dtsmsg.h file in the SDK folder of Sql Server.
This file is very hard to parse.

Can some from SSIS please post an XML or CSV file with all the error codes and descriptions for us to download please.
This will be such a big help in debugging.

Many Thanks.

Item Description In Shorthand

Jun 29, 2005

Hi,

If you browse to Amazon and drill down through categories until a paged
listing appears, you will see in each item of the listing that the
description rendered as Book Description, is a cutdown version of the
full description, with a ... and "Read More" hyperlink.  How is
this achieved programatically? I dont know if thre is an efficient way
in SQL Server to do this, or whether it would be easier to have a
ShortHand field and a Description field, both of which are teh full
description when shown in the Details page, but the ShortHand is the
field rendered in listings.  This seems like a simplistic solution
and I am thinking there may be programmatic means of doing the same -
has anybody got any experience in this area?

Thanks!
