I have set up a query where I am using a cursor to pass result from one
query to use as select parameters in another query. The problem I am
having is that when I pass the results into the second query I get the
column headers?
How do you suppress the column headers from showing in the query? I
see how you select options - print headers.
Thanks

Hi
I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how we could find the table names and column names of the tables in our Sql server database at runtime/dynamically given our connection string? Please let me know.
Thanks.
Hi,
We have an application that uses a large number of cursors, and I can run sys.dm_exec_cursors (0) to view them. However, the 'name' column always appears to be NULL no matter when I run the query.
I see, when tracking some blocked processes, that the blocked processes usually have in inputbuffer that looks something like FETCH API_CURSOR00000000000003435 - which I'm trying to map back to the cursor itself. However, I can't seem to do so based on the name - since it isn't in the DMV.
Can anyone shed any light on this one?
Thanks in advance,

Hi
When I run this query..
SELECT COLUMN_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME='TableTest'
I get all the column names, but the result is not in the same order as when I check the design for the table, why is that?
At my work, we are upgrading a number of MS Access 2000 databases to SQL Server 2000. Many of the columns have names that do not follow the rules for Identifiers. For example there are columns with a numeric names 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. There are also columns with a hyphen in the name and columns that begin with a number and not an underscore or an alpha character. Plus there are columns with names like first, last, position, etc. (There was also columns with reserved words used as the names. I have changed those column names in the databases that I have already converted) Will leaving these names alone create a problem? The database serves as the backend to ASP pages.

Is there any way in sql to know the column name in cursor. like in record set (rsName.Fields(1).Name gives us the coulumn name)
Thanks in Advance
Hello,I'm still extremely novice to SQL and I've tried googling how to produce this result but I've been encountering a lot dynamic sql commands which isn't exactly what I want. If this is an ignorant question I do apologize but heres my scenario: I have a table with columns of the day, for instance: Monday_hasData (bit)Monday_DataAnd what I want to do is essentially pass in "Monday" as a parameter and rather than doing an If statement on each row, I would like to just like to do something like assign @dayCheck + "_hasData" to a variable and then use @dayCheck as part of my query. Is this possible or am I going to have to have 7 cases? Thank you for any input,Chance

In other words i know the particular column name and right now i want to know the table names in which this column name exists.
Hi,
I have a table in which out of 20 columns, there will be data only in a few columns. So, I need to find those column names which have data in them. I was able to do it using the information_schema and using a cursor to loop through all the column names and find out which columns have data in them. But i need to know if there is a more efficient way of doing this without using the cursor. Can somebody please let me know how this can be done without using a cursor? Thank you.
Can anyone help me with a SQL statement that will list all the column names in a table please ?
I just want to list out the column name so that i can develop asp/vb more effectively than having to use SQLEM and Design table to see the field names.:confused:
thanks

Hi is possible to create dynamic column name
example
Declare
@StartDate as dateTime
Select @StartDate = '2004-06-05'
select
SUM(Case When table1_date BETWEEN dateadd(day,-6,@StartDate) and @StartDate then 1 else 0 end)AS [dateadd(day,-6,@StartDate)],
SUM(Case When table1_date BETWEEN dateadd(day,-13,@StartDate) and dateadd(day,-7,@StartDate) then 1 else 0 end)AS [dateadd(day,-13,@StartDate)]
from
table1
I would like to pass into a stored proc the column names I want it to return; how do I do this please?
So I pass in say:
@p_AccountNumber with a value of 'AccountNum'
and the SELECT that the sp fires is of the form
SELECT AccountNum from AccountTable
Any help appreciated

i have a table with Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. .... Sunday
i get the weekday by
select @stat = datename(dw, getdate()) which in this case is Wednesday
but when i do something like
select top 2 * from myTable
where 'myTable.'+@stat = 1
which is as same as
select top 2 * from myTable
where myTable.wednesday = 1
i receive a syntax error. how can i dynamically select myTable.Wednesday ?
i also tried using
select top 2 * from Intercon
where '@stat' = '1'
but then this doesn't return anything where it should.
any help?
Is there a way that you could get the column names for each table in a database using 1 query?
something like:
tbl colname
t1 catID
t1 catName
t2 prodID
t2 prodDesc
t3 cartID
...
...
I know it would be long, but I would just be searching through the saved output for specific names.
Hi All,
I was wondering how would I get the column names from a table? Not the results just a listing of column names. What is the command to get this information? I am using MS Access, but I posted here because MS SQL is the closest thing on this forum and the syntax is usually similar.
Thanks a bunch.

SQL server throws an exception when I try to run the following code:
ALTER TABLE contacts ADD default ntext NULL;
The reason for that is that "default" is an SQL keyword.
The way I handle this now is I put an underscore at the front:
ALTER TABLE contacts ADD _default ntext NULL
Is there a cleaner way to handle this, i.e. to keep the column name "default" and forse sql server to create a column with this name?
Thank you!
Morning guys,
I have a project where Iam suppose to script all columns in every database/table/columns on the network.
I figured the best way to do this would be using sql-dmo (Sql Server 2000)
Does anyone have any suggestions on getting started with this project?
thanks,

Hello, everyone:
I used bcp to generate a txt file as:
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "SELECT * FROM Test..Orders" queryout "c:/test.txt " -U tester -P tester -c'
It works fine except without column names of table. Does any one have idea that can bring out column names from table?
Thanks

I have been looking in the SQL Server Help Files, but I cant seem to find the syntax to change the name of a column name..?
Can it be done? if so, what is the syntax?
I am writing a stored procedure in which I have a query that selects the Headings of Columns from another table...
I want to then create a loop that will contain a variable with the value of the column heading and then set the column to a value of NULL...
Is there any way to accomplish this???
I thought about placing these values into a temp table...
This is what I have so far...
Declare @QueryX nvarchar(500)
Declare @FieldName varchar(20)
Create Table #UpdateRejDoc
(
Abbreviation varchar(20)
)
Insert into #UpdateRejDoc
Select Abbreviation
From tbl_Titles
left JOIN tbl_TitleRouting on tbl_Titles.Title_ID = tbl_TitleRouting.Title_ID
Where tbl_TitleRouting.Application_ID = @Application_ID
While Exists (Select Abbreviation from #UpdateRejDoc)
Begin
Set @QueryX = 'Update DBLandfillUser.tbl_ObjectApprovals' +
'@AppName + Set @FieldName = null Where object_id =' + Cast(@object_id as VarChar(20))
End
Hi All,
Heres my problem...
If I create a table T1 with a couple of columns; MyPKCol, ColA
I then create a view V1 as "Select * From T1"
At this stage, if I run "Select * From V1" the result will, as expected, include following columns:
MyPKCol,ColA
If I now add another column, ColB, to T1 and then again run "Select * From V1", I still get the result with only 2 columns;
MyPKCol,ColA
In order for V1 to return MyPKCol,ColA,ColB I have to drop V1 and then recreate it again.
Can someone explain why this is and how I can clear this type of cache?
I've tried the following commands, but it didn't work:
DBCC FREEPROCCACHE;
DBCC FREEsystemCACHE( 'ALL' );
DBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERS;
There has to be an easier way than having to recreate SPs, Function and Views just because you make a change to a table.
I hope I made sence
Thank you in advance for any help.

I have a SQL table with 5000 rows in it. Some of the other SQL columns have different values but if I wanted to swap say 500 of the rows would it be something like
UPDATE Coupins
SET Name='test1,test2,test3'
WHERE Name='test4,test5,test6';
I need basically to swap the Name value of these without affecting any other values.
I'm trying to perform an insert on a table from another table, but
the fieldnames are different. The data is similar, but there are
less fields as well. Does anyone know how to accomplish this? All
the material I've read on the Internet so far pertaining to Insert
statements, has all the column names matching up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Got my first real job to do in SSIS and it's not really much fun. Here goes. I have excel files from various vendors, none of which are in the same format. Now I'm less concerned with the names, I have those in variables so that's not a big deal. My issue is around the column names. Let's say we have file a, b and c. In file a the first name field is called [first name], in file b it's first_name and in file c it's firstname. What I want to do is create 1 package that can handle these files regardless of how first name is spelled. I was thinking I could open the file and somehow search for a column name that contained the word "first%" and then map the column name to a variable. I'm sort of stuck though on how to actually do that. Help. And please don't tell me to tell the vendors to standardize. That's the end goal but it's like herding cats.
