I was just looking at the AdventureWorks Database Sample and I see the Tables and the Procedures have different prefixes other than dbo. How can I create Tables that use different prefixes as I would like to organize my tables better. Thanks in advance.
View 2 RepliesHi,
When ever I trying to run a select statement from one server to a linked server (remote server), like:
select * from servername.dbname.owner.table
It fails saying there are too many prefixes. Only 2 are allowed and there are three above.
Any one knows what's the issue here.
Thanks
For zipcodes where the values is not null and less than 3 i have to add two 0's,for zipcodes where value is 4 digit i have to add one 0.this is in a case statement and my zip code format is "02814-1473" if it is ''342"then it should be "00342" if it is "1342" then it should be "01432" in some cases there are 10 digits but i have to look for the one on left hand side of the hiphen.
here is my code :
SELECT distinct
isnull(P.id,'') PersonID
, isnull(replace(Ltrim(Rtrim(P.Firstname)),',',''),' ') FirstName
, ZipCode = isnull(case when substring(Ltrim(Rtrim(PA.Zipcode)),6,1) = '-' then isnull(PA.Zipcode,'')
when substring(PA.Zipcode,6,1) = ' ' then isnull(PA.Zipcode,'')
when len((Ltrim(Rtrim(PA.Zipcode)))) = 3then ('0' + '0' + (PA.Zipcode))
when len((Ltrim(Rtrim(PA.Zipcode)))) = 4 then ('0' + (PA.Zipcode))
else substring(PA.Zipcode,1,5)+'-'+ substring(PA.Zipcode,6,4)
end ,'')

Hello all,
Being still a relative newcomer to SQL Server (people may say I'm trying to take on too much being somewhat inexperienced once they read about the problem I'm trying to tackle, but alas...) I'm running into the following problem: I need to create tables in my user database on the fly (using Stored Procedures) so that each table can be created many times in the database but only once for every user. The tables should be named something like "username.Table1", "username.Table2" etc. as opposed to "dbo.Table1". I then want to use the stored procedure from .NET/C# in my web application, so that i can create the complete set of usertables for each of my clients.
Now, I tackled the stored procedure part (that is, it creates all the tables I need with all the parameters I want) and am able to use it from my web application (which took some time to learn but proved quite easy to do), but I cannot seem to get it coupled to the current user (instead of the dbo). Every time I trie, the tables are created as dbo.Table1 and when I try to create a new set, it gives a warning ("table with name such and so already exists..."). I made sure to log in as an authenticated user (using forms authentication) before trying to create the tables but this gives the aforementioned result.
What am I doing wrong? I use Visual Web Developer Express, SQL Server 2005 Express and IIS version 5.1
Please help :-D

I have a table that I am basically reduplicating a couple of times for each part of this database that I want to create.Each table basically has the same data: The tables will be called motherTable, fatherTable, sonTable, daughterTable and so on.I am pretty much using the following in each column: UserID, MotherID(or FatherID or SonID, etc., etc. and so on for each unique table), FirstName, LastName, MiddleName, BirthPlace, Photo, Age.I don't see an option to copy a table and just modify the second ID part and rename that table accordingly.How can I make this an easier way of creating these similar tables without retyping all these columns over and over again?Thanks in advance.

stepdefinition has
steptype
flowid
stepid
task has
taskid
flowid
stepid
flowid and stepid for both tables match; meaning that if i found a record in task with a certain taskid, i could query stepdefinition with the same flowid and stepid to find the steptype.
well, i wanna do it the other way around. I query stepdefinition to find a list of flowids and stepids for a specific steptype.
select flowid, stepid from stepdefinition where steptype = -3
Now, I want to find all taskids in task for each flowid/stepid combination

Hi, I have a users table in my SQL Server database. Now, I am looking to create a table (or multiple tables) to allow users to post their weekly events, meetings, activities, and accomplishments to the database. Each Monday morning, each user will enter their new schedule for that week and the previous week's entry will be archived in the database. My question is: what would make more sense? Should I create one big table that would have the following columns:
- Week Number (the current week number in the year)
- User ID
- Events
- Meetings
- Activities
- Accomplishments
And each user would have one row in the database per week.
OR should I create 4 separate tables named Events, Meetings, Activities, Accomplishments. Each of these tables would have the following columns: (for instance, the Events table would contain:)
- eventID (auto incremented number)
- userID
- weekNumber
- event_description
Each time a user adds a new event to their schedule, a new row in the Events table is created. Each time a user adds a new accomplishment, a new row in the Accomplishments table is created. etc., etc.
Which approach seems to make more sense and would be easier to maintain? Also, which one would conserve database space better and result in faster querying.
Thanks, Dave

I'm attempting to use SQL statement to create tables within a new database, and I'm somewhat lacking in experience for this. Normally I'd simply create them through the GUI, but I want to get the hang of DDL statements.
I have written what I think are scripts to create one table with a primary key, create a unique index on it, and then create another table with a primary key and constrain two columns in the second table to the non-primary unique index in the first.
Code:
Use SKUTracking
CREATE TABLE
SKUTracking.dbo.tblOraUnits

Im trying to bring together two tables into one, but they're records dont always match, so im getting akward returned records. So now i want to combine the fields i need from these two tables to create a new one. How would that be coded.
I want to
SELECT
[Customer_Bill_Customer_No],
[Customer_Bill_Customer_No],
[Sales_Header_Order_DateTime],
[Sales_Header_Your_Reference]
from
[NavisionReplication].[dbo].[Tbl_Sales_Header]
and
SELECT
[Sales_Invoice_Header_No]
FROM [NavisionReplication].[dbo].[Tbl_Sales_Invoice_Header]
now , how would i do that?
I'm trying to create two tables, Admins and SecurityGroups, I want to have the ability to assign a security group to an admin so that I don't have to specify all the rights individually to every admin. So, I have the securityGroupID in the Admins table and I reference the SecurityGroups table for data integrity. On the other hand, for audit purposes, I also want to record which admin created the security group so I have the AdminID in the SecurityGroups table and I reference the Admins table for data integrity. Of course when I try to create any of those tables I get an error message that the other table doesn't exist. I wonder if this can be done without having to remove the references constraint from one of the tables and then using alter table. Here's an example below to make it clearer:
CREATE TABLE Admins
(
AdminID INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
SecurityGroup NULL REFERENCES SecurityGroups (SecurityGroupID)
)
CREATE TABLE SecurityGroups
(
SecurityGroupID INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
CreatedBy INT NOT NULL REFERENCES Admins (AdminID)
)
Any suggestions are highly appreciated...
I'm currently developing an RDF application which need to handle lots of datatypes. But I want to use SQL-Servers capabilities for efficient querying and sorting. Therefore, I've wanted to create a Main Table which stores a Reference to the Table where the Data is stored. The Data itself should get stored in a Datatype-specific Table.
The Typed Table might get created by something like:
public void CreateTypedLiterals(Type type)
{
String sql = String.Format(
"CREATE TABLE [Literals_{1}] (" +
"ID int DISTINCT NOT NULL, Value {1})",
// BUG: does not work
// WARNING: introduces a potential sql-injection problem
type.ToString()
);
...
As you can see on the statements this solution makes many troubles. So I've wanted to implement it in a more fine way using a DataTable:
[SqlProcedure]
public void CreateTypedLiterals(Type type)
{
DataTable TypedLiterals =
new DataTable(
String.Format("Literals_{0}", type.ToString()));
TypedLiterals.Columns.Add(
"ID", typeof(int), "DISTINCT NOT NULL");
TypedLiterals.Columns.Add("Value", type);
...
But I have totally no Idea how to fetch this result into the existing Database. It might be cool to simply access the Database as it would be a .NET Dataset in the form:
using(Microsoft.SqlServer.Server)
{
CurrentDatabase.Tables.Add(TypedLiterals);
}
But this is afaik not possible. Has anybody an idea how to solve this issure?

Hi, I am trying to create a create for two table A and table B which have no relationship each time. For TableA, there are 3 columns like ID, APoints1, APoint2. For Table B, there are also 3 columns as ID, Qty, BPoints. There is no internal relationship for these two tables. But there may be same ID inside A and B for some records. Now I want to create a datagrid for displaying the information as :
ID, Sum(A.APoints1 + A.APoints2) - Sum(B.Qty * B.BPoints) WHERE A.ID = B.ID
Please Notice that I can't use directly SQL script as following from table A and table B because there is no relationship for Table A and Table B, otherwise the recult set would be wrong:
Select A.ID, Sum(A.APoints1 + A.APoints2) - Sum(B.Qty * B.BPoints) WHERE A.ID = B.ID group by A.ID
May I know is there solution for it?
Thank you very much!

The script has commands to create tables...
From where do i execute those ?
I have three tables :
England_Summer_2001
England_Summer_2002
England_Summer_2003
The tables have the following columns :
Player, Position, [From], [To], Fee, Type, ID, League, Window
I want to create a new table, EnglandFinal with all the data from the three tables although I'm guessing it would not be a good idea to copy the primary keys (ID column) as they would clash.
I have played around with CREATE and INSERT into and UNION but I get various errors. I'm sure I've done this before!
This creates a table from a single table :
select * into Final
from England_Summer_2001
Hi There,
I am trying to create a DTS package that will import dbf tables. My problem is that the data was created back in the pre-dos 5 days, so to save room they took the dates and convert them to 2 characters.
Now I would like to import these tables and conver the date back. I do have a Function that I can run in FoxPro to "Unpack" these dates.
CODE
Function UnPackDate( cDate )
*!*PARAMETERS: f_datestr - Character (manditory). This should be a two
**!* byte string created with PACKDATE().
*!*
*!* RETURNS: A date from 1/1/1970 and 11/29/2126
If EMPTY(cDate)
Return {//}
Endif

nDate = (ASC( LEFT(cDate,1) ) * 256) + ASC( RIGHT(cDate,1))
Return ( CTOD("01/01/1970") + nDate - 8225 )

Does anyone know how to take this function and make it work while doing an import?
