Hi
I want to enter rows into a table having more number of columns
For example : I have one employee table having columns (name ,address,salary etc )
then, how can i enter 100 employees data at a time ?
Suppose i am having my data in .txt file (or ) in .xls
( SQL Server 2005)
How can I determine the number of columns in a table?

I have a denormalized table (done so with reason) with around 40 columns. I would never have to retrieve data for all of those columns together.
I haven't done any performance measurements yet but just wondering if anyone has ready answer to this: Will there be a performance degradation if I retrieve data from a table with many columns, even if not all columns are referred in the query? (for making it simple, lets assume that all or varchar type of columns, I just want to find out if performance degrades if there are too many columns in table)
Thanks in advance,

We are looking at developing a new app with a SQL Server db. As such, we're all newbies.
What is the maximum number of columns I can put in a SQL Server table?
Thanks in advance.

I have a database hosted by GoDaddy. Recently they made some changes to the interface and upgraded to SQL Server 2008. One or the other has made it impossible to access my data in one table.
The table is quite large in terms of the numbers of elements. Each row describes a dog and all the elements are components of the description. There are (I would guess) more than 50 elements all together.
When I try to search the database, the query form goes beyond the top and bottom of the page. I can scroll the database but the search tool (which lies atop the data) does not scroll. The result is that I can't activate the search.
I've tried about 10 machines. All with IE6 display this fault. Machines with IE7 do not. I've tried various screen resolutions on the machines with IE6. That doesn't help.
I've checked other tables in the database. No problem.
In short, there's nothing I can do. I can't edit my data and GoDaddy says, "Tough."
Is there a limit on the number of columns (elements) in a table in SQL Server 2008?

I am creating a report that uses the Matrix control. I need to display a fixed number of columns (5). In my query, I am returning the top 5 rows of data. However, in some cases there are less than 5 rows of data returned from the dataset. Is there a way to force the number of columns displayed in the matrix control and to populate with some text (such as "n/a") if no data is available?
Thanks!

How do I create a temporary table in a stored procedure with differeent number of columns?
That is: sometimes ten columns, sometimes 24 etc.
Hi
I have a table (Sql server 2000) which has 14 cost columns for each record, and now due to a new requirement, I have 2 taxes which needs to be applied on two more fields called Share1 and share 2
e.g
Sales tax = 10%
Use Tax = 10%
Share1 = 60%
Share2 = 40%
So Sales tax Amt (A) = Cost1 * Share1 * Sales Tax
So Use tax Amt (B) = cost1 * share2 * Use tax
same calculation for all the costs and then total cost with Sales tax = Cost 1 + A , Cost 2 + A and so on..
and total cost with Use tax = Cost1 +B, Cost 2 +B etc.
So there are around 14 new fields required to save Sales Tax amt for each cost, another 14 new fields to store Cost with Sales Tax, Cost with Use tax. So that increases the table size.
Some of these fields might be used for making reports.
I was wondering which is a better approach out of the below 3:
1) To calculate these fields dynamically while displaying them on the User interface and not save in DB (while making reports, again calculate these fields dynamically and show), or
2) Add new formula field columns in database table to save each field, which would make the table size bigger, but reporting becomes easier.
3) Add only those columns in database on which reports needs to be made, calculate rest of the fields dynamically on screen.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have a table called Employees which has lots of columns but I only want to count some specific columns of this table.
i.e. EmployeeID: 001
week1: 40
week2: 24
week3: 24
week4: 39
This employee (001) has two weeks below 32. How do I use the COUNT statement to calculate that within these four weeks(columns), how many weeks(columns) have the value below 32?
I am trying to get my SQL create table to work for my phone number formatting and it is not. When I create the below code, the default is set to 3 numbers only.

Hi
I have a dataset with 2 columns, a rownumber and a servername - eg
rownumber servername
1 server1
2 server2
....
15 server15
I want to display the servernames in a report so that you get 3 columns - eg
server1 | server2 | server3
server4 | server5 | server6
...
server13 | server14 | server15
I have tried using multiple tables and lists and filtering the data on each one but this then makes formating very hard - i either end up with a huge gap between columns or the columns overlap
I have also tried using a matrix control but cant find a way to do this.
Does anybody know an easy way to do this? The data comes from sql 2005 so i can use a pivot clause on the dataset if somebody knows a way to do it this way. The reporting service is also RS2005
Thanks

Hi,
how to dynamically create columns for a table
Other than right-clicking on each individual table in SSMS and generating a CREATE script, is there a simple way to generate CREATE TABLE scripts for tables within a given database?
Background: I have a bunch of tables in one database, and I would like to add tables to a second database that have the same names and basic structures of some of the tables from the first database.
I do not need to transfer any data from the tables, this is a seperate project that will use a similar data structure. I just want to generate the CREATE TABLE scripts for 30ish tables within the first database, and then I'll tweak the scripts as appropriate and run them against the new database.

Hi,
I have a sproc that returns somevalues and everything is working fine... and in my reports i am assigning the header data (in a detail column) based on the some feilds in the sproc... and there around 20 feilds that i want to show... but at a given time i am pretty sure that there wont be more than 10 fields that will have data.
So is it possible that show only the columns that have data in it and sometimes if there is less that 5 - 6 fields.. i want to realign the widths in those tables..
any help is appreciated..

Hi there,
i have a requirement that a temporary table contains dynamic columns depending on where condition.
my actual table is like
Key
Value
X1
x
X3
x
X5
x
Y1
y
Y2
y
when user select x, the input variable passed to stored proc and the result is shown like
column names
X1 X3 X5 as column headers.
the select query is from temporary table.
these out put is based on the user selection. so the temporary table created with columns dynamically.
please help me out.
please let me know if you didn't understand.
thanks
Praveen.
I am looking to create a script that will go through a table a pick out the necessary columns to create a unique record. Some of the tables that I am working with have 200 plus columns and I am not sure if I would have to list every column name in the script or if they could be dynamically referenced. I am working with a SQL server that has little next to no documentation and everytime I type to mere some tables, I get too many rows back.

Hi,
I am currently designing a SSIS package to integrate data into a data warehouse fact table. This fact table has about 70 columns among which 17 are foreign keys for dimension tables.
To insert data in that table, I have to make several transformations and lookups. Given the fact that the lookups I have to make are a little complicated, I have about 70 tasks in my Data Flow.
I know it's a lot, but I can't find a way to make it simpler. It seems I really need all these tasks.
Now, the problem is that every new action I try to make on the package takes a lot of time. At design time, everything is very slow. My processor is eavily loaded each time I change a single setting in one of the tasks, and executing the package in debug mode takes for ages. If I take a look at the size of my package file on disk, it's more than 3MB.
Hence my question : Are there any limitations in terms of number of columns or number of tasks that can be processed within a Data Flow ?
If not, then do you have any idea why it's so slow ?
Thanks in advance for any answer.
I am working on a Statistical Reporting system where:
Data Repository: SQL Server 2005
Business Logic Tier: Views, User Defined Functions, Stored Procedures
Data Access Tier: Stored Procedures
Presentation Tier: Reporting ServicesThe end user will be able to slice & dice the data for the report by
different organizational hierarchies
different number of layers within a hierarchy
select a organization or select All of the organizations with the organizational hierarchy
combinations of selection criteria, where this selection criteria is independent of each other, and also differeBelow is an example of 2 Organizational Hierarchies:
Hierarchy 1
Country -> Work Group -> Project Team (Project Team within Work Group within Country)
Hierarchy 2
Client -> Contract -> Project (Project within Contract within Client)Based on 2 different Hierarchies from above - here are a couple of use cases:
Country = "USA", Work Group = "Network Infrastructure", Project Team = all teams
Country = "USA", Work Group = all work groups
Client = "Client A", Contract = "2007-2008 Maint", Project = "Accounts Payable Maintenance"
Client = "Client A", Contract = "2007-2008 Maint", Project = all
Client = "Client A", Contract = allI am totally stuck on:
How to implement the data interface (Stored Procs) to the Reports
Implement the business logic to handle the different hierarchies & different number of levelsI did get help earlier in this forum for how to handle a parameter having a specific value or NULL value (to select "all")
(WorkGroup = @argWorkGroup OR @argWorkGrop is NULL)
Any Ideas? Should I be doing this in SQL Statements or should I be looking to use Analysis Services.
Thanks for all your help!
So I have been trying to get mySQL query to work for a large database that I have. I have (lets say) two tables Table_One and Table_Two. Table_One has three columns: Type, Animal and TestID and Table_Two has 2 columns Test_Name and Test_ID. Example with values is below:
**TABLE_ONE**
Type Animal TestID
-----------------------------------------
Mammal Goat 1
Fish Cod 1
Bird Chicken 1
Reptile Snake 1
Bird Crow 2
Mammal Cow 2
Bird Ostrich 3
**Table_Two**
Test_name TestID
-------------------------
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_2 2
Test_2 2
Test_3 3
In Table_One all types come under one column and the values of all Types (Mammal, Fish, Bird, Reptile) come under another column (Animals). Table_One and Two can be linked by Test_ID
I am trying to create a table such as shown below:
Test_Name Bird Reptile Mammal Fish
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Test_1 Chicken Snake Goat Cod
Test_2 Crow Cow
Test_3 Ostrich
This should be my final table. The approach I am currently using is to make multiple instances of Table_One and using joins to form this final table. So the column Bird, Reptile, Mammal and Fish all come from a different copy of Table_one.
For e.g
Select
Test_Name AS 'Test_Name',
Table_Bird.Animal AS 'Birds',
Table_Mammal.Animal AS 'Mammal',
Table_Reptile.Animal AS 'Reptile,
Table_Fish.Animal AS 'Fish'
From Table_One
[Code] .....
The problem with this query is it only works when all entries for Birds, Mammals, Reptiles and Fish have some value. If one field is empty as for Test_Two or Test_Three, it doesn't return that record. I used Or instead of And in the WHERE clause but that didn't work as well.
does anyone know what the maximum number of columns is that an SQL table can contain ?
i seem to remember that in the past it was something like 200 columns max, but i don't know whether that has changed with newer versions of SQL Server
looking at the spec for SQL Server 2000 i see a maximum of 1024 columns per base table - am i right in interpreting this to mean the maximum is now 1024 columns or is a base table different from an SQL table ?
when using sorred procedure to create a temporary table is it possable to base the number of columns in that table on another variable?

Hi,I'm designing a new database and I have a doubt in which surely youcan help me.I'm storing in this database historical data of some measurements andthe system in constantly growing, new measurements are added everyday.So, I have to set some extra columns in advance, so space is availablewhenever is needed and the client doesn't have to modify the structurein SQL server.The question is: the more columns I add "just in case", the slower theSQL reads the table?Of course the "empty" columns are not included in any query until theyhave some valid data inside.Will I have better performance if I configure only the columns beingused at the moment, without any empty columns?Thanks in advance.Ignacio

Hi,
I'm using ADO 2.8 in a vb.net code. The .Net framework version is 1.1 and windows server 2003.
I'm firing a query that result in 256 columns and few hundred rows. Here is the snapshot of the code
adoRs = New ADODB.Recordset
With adoRs
.CursorLocation = CursorLocationEnum.adUseClient ' adUseClient
.ActiveConnection = adoCn
.CursorType = CursorTypeEnum.adOpenStatic ' adOpenStatic
.LockType = LockTypeEnum.adLockBatchOptimistic ' adLockBatchOptimistic
.Open(strSQL)
End With
The returned record set is empty with all the the 256 columns name. Could anyone shed light why it is returning empty recordset. Is there any limitation on number of columns that a recordset can hold.
Thanks in advance.
With regards
Ganesh
hi.i am using ms sql server 2000. can somebody tell me what the code would be to remove all the values in a given column and replace them with the associated number of the row with each execution. so, if i have a column:nums|1||2||3||4|and somebody deletes record |2|i would like the nums colum to update to|1||2||3|not:|1||3||4|it seems simple but i am having a hard time with this. how is it done?thanks.
