I would like to alter view to add columns. My base table is populated by application and the base table name is always change. Is there any way to add some extra columns to this view.
One way is to create a sp to add columns and use the view inside the sp. But I would like to know is there any way to alter the view.
I have a VIEW which is dynamically generated through complex dynamic SQL. Unfortunately the dynamic SQL uses "Select * from table" to select the columns because the programmer did that to reduce the amount of code in the dynamic SQL string as the code can't be debugged if it's too long.
Therefore, I have a VIEW with columns in it I don't need, and want to remove them from the view - I need to remove all columns with column names matching the syntax '%1%_2' .
The view is called TEMP_EXPORT_1
I can either use the code below to return a list of columns that I want removed:
select column_name from information_schema.columns
where table_name='TEMP_EXPORT_1' and column_name like '%1%_2'
Or I can use the code below to return the list of columns that I want to keep:
select column_name from information_schema.columns
where table_name='TEMP_EXPORT_1' and column_name not like '%1%_2'
Now how would I go about altering TEMP_EXPORT_1 view so that it no longer has these columns? I know views don't have a drop statement...
Therefore I tried the following but I'm not sure of the syntax:
ALTER VIEW dbo.TEMP_EXPORT_1
AS
SELECT (select column_name from information_schema.columns
where table_name='TEMP_EXPORT_1' and column_name not like '%1%_2')
FROM dbo.TEMP_EXPORT_1
Am I on the right track? how can I ALTER this view to remove these columns? ... I want to keep this separate from the code that generated the view as I want it as an optional procedure that can be run if needed.
Even though I select "Column Names" in Design View when creating a query (or view), only "* (All Columns)" appears in the table box.
In InfoPath, when I connect a combo-box, err drop down box, to the database, I am unable to connect directly to a table... no tables are shown. If I select a different database, these problems do not exist.
I can not find any setting to allow these columns to be shown in the design view or any setting that will "expose" the tables in InfoPath.
I tried creating a new database and exporting the data, tables and data, from the troubled DB to the new DB; however, the new DB exhibited the same behaviour. The system tables, Master and Model, have the same behaviour. Please help me with your ideas and suggestions... thank you very much for your time.
This database was upsized from Access 2003 to SQL Server 2000 SP4.

I had given one of our developers create view permissions, but he wants to also modify views that are not owned by him, they are owned by dbo.
I ran a profiler trace and determined that when he tries to modify a view using query designer in SQLem or right clicks in SQLem on the view and goes to properties, it is performing a ALTER VIEW. It does the same for dbo in a trace (an ALTER View). He gets a call failed and a permission error that he doesn't have create view permissions, object is owned by dbo, using both methods.
If it is doing an alter view how can I set permissions for that and why does it give a create view error when its really doing an alter view? Very confusing.
Hi All,I am new to this group and this is my first doubt i am facing atpresent.I am doing data migration. In this sequence i need to alter few views.Alter in the sense, inside the existing query of view i want to includeone more column.I want to do it inside one single script. If i run the script all viewsshould get updated.Any help on this will be greatful.my mail id is Join Bytes!.Thanks in advance
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have granted a developer the alter view permissions on some views in our production server which now allow him to open the view for modification. When he tries to save his changes he gets an error that he doesn't have create view permission. If seen this behavior before when you modify a table, does SQL Server 7.0 actually drop and recreate the object? If so, would he then need create permissions on views also?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHey Folks,
I have a View that I'm using to power a Crystal Report. I want to include an extra column that will be a string containing all the values from a single column of another table, seperated by comma.
So for example:
Project | Staff
----------------------
TestProject1 | "Jonathan, Greg, Joe"
Is this possible? Where do I do it? From the SQL Server end or in the report?
Write a CREATE VIEW statement that defines a view named Invoice Basic that returns three columns: VendorName, InvoiceNumber, and InvoiceTotal. Then, write a SELECT statement that returns all of the columns in the view, sorted by VendorName, where the first letter of the vendor name is N, O, or P.
This is what I have so far,
CREATE VIEW InvoiceBasic AS
SELECT VendorName, InvoiceNumber, InvoiceTotal
From Vendors JOIN Invoices
ON Vendors.VendorID = Invoices.VendorID

I'm working on re-indexing a table using some commands from ALTER INDEX REBUILD from Microsoft. The indexes will be tested for threshold fragmentation. my plan is once the reindex is executed, a transaction backup will occur while controlling the size of the log file. The query impose time limitations or stop reindexing after the specified amount of time has elapsed.
my question,
1. How can I integrate a query which checks if transaction log is getting full and which runs a Tlog backup if over 70%
2. How do I impose time limitation?
I'm currently stuck with a table that has 350 mil records. Querying this table is insanely slow so I had a better look at existing yearly partitioning. I already managed to partition on a month level which increased the performance/querrying a lot. I did this on the staging table where I used an alter statement to split the 2015 partition by 12 months.
However, in our project we used Data Vault. This means that we have 4 tables (hub, sathub, link, satlink), all carrying 350 mil records. The problem is that altering the partition function does not work. The server cannot handle this action. What the best way is to do this, without having to drop/reload all tables.
Hi,
I am using SQL 2000( Version: 8.00.000)
I want to ask can I add View in the stored procedure like the following:
Create Procedure sp_createTblLogReasonColorView
@m int,
@y int
AS
BEGIN
ALTER View vw_tblLogReasonColor
AS
Select * From tblLogReasonColor where Year(n_Delivery_Date) = @y AND Month(n_Delivery_Date) = @m
END
Thanks for you reply.
prerequisites:
MSSQL 2005 64bit as publisher (transactional replication)
MSSQL 2000 32 bit as subscriber (pull, read-only)
All objects are set to replicate except foreign keys and defaults.
There is a linked server DW on both the publisher and the subscriber that both can access (sa and user logins mapped)
The snapshot generation and loading is fine.
but then I issue this statement at the publisher:
ALTER VIEW [dbo].[v_Test] as
select * from DW.DW_DB.dbo.v_Test
but it fails to replicate at the subscriber with the message:
Category:COMMANDSource: Failed CommandNumber: Message: ALTER VIEW [dbo].[v_Test] asselect * from DW.DW_DB.dbo.v_TestCategoryQLSERVERSource: SubscriberNumber: 7399Message: OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' reported an error.
I tried the command on the Subcriber via Query Analyzer and it works.
What gives?
All suggestions are welcome!
Hello,
I am trying to edit several tables that were imported in tab-delimited format from text files. I am trying to generate a script that will alter the data type for several different columns.
I have succesfully edited a single column with the following code:
USE THCIC
ALTER TABLE PudfTest
ALTER COLUMN
DISCHARGE VARCHAR(6) NULL
However, I have need to create a script that will change the data type for over 100 columns. So far, everything I've read tells me that multiple 'alter column' statements cannot be run in a single query. I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this, or at least point me in another direction so that I won't have to manually change the data type for every column in each of the tables.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Background - I have a publication that propigates schema changes. I have a view in which I want to remove a column.
Error - Going by what the BOL says, I use Alter View and delete the column from my select statement. I issue the alter view command against the Publication database and it just "churns". I do not get any locking errors or any other type of error, but the statement never completes execution. I watched it run for 10 minutes and cancelled the query. Executing the same statement against a copy of the database that is not being published executes in 1, 2 seconds.
Here is what I am doing:
Old View: Select table1.record_number, table1.record_date, table1.status_code, table2.status_desc,
table2.txt_sort_order
FROM table1 join table2 on table1.status_code = table2.status_code
The query I am executing:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER VIEW myview
AS
Select table1.record_number, table1.record_date, table1.status_code, table2.status_desc
FROM table1 join table2 on table1.status_code = table2.status_code
I am dropping 60 out of 133 columns on a user table, but am finding that the spaceused by the table ( as shown by sysindexes.dpages ) is not being freed up.
I have dropped and recreated all indexes on the table, with no effect on the dpages value, as well as running dbcc updateusage for the table.
Is it not possible to free up the space used by using this method ?
Is recreating and repopulating the table with only the required columns the correct / only way to do this ?
thanks,
manoj
I need to perform this task. say I have a table that the columns are dates.
Table months:
[02-2015],[03-2015], [04-2015],[04-2015]....[02-2016].
When the new month comes I want the table to alter the columns automatically instead of manual how we do it now. The new Month table should delete [02-2015] and replace it with [03-2015].
table months:
[03-2015],[04-2015],[05-2015],[06-2015]....[03-2016].

How do I alter multiple columns with one SQL statement?
I've tried :
ALTER TABLE epcs_benefit_plan ALTER COLUMN
abc1 varchar(3) not null,
abc2 varchar(3) not null
I am having problem when performing the alter table switch. Both tables are identical and have pk.
ALTER TABLE SWITCH statement failed. There is no identical index in source table 'LocalDeltanet.dbo.testresults' for the index 'PKIDX_testSummary' in target table 'LocalDeltanet.dbo.testresults_part' .
CONSTRAINT [PKIDX_testSummary] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
( [testresult_id] ASC )
WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON)
ON TResultsScheme (testresult_id) ) ON TResultsScheme (testresult_id)
I have performed the function on other tables successfully, but this is the first that has an identity column involved. Is there anything special that needs to be done?
[testresult_id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,

hi
suppose that i have 2 tables:
TBCars(Keep information about one car like model,plaqueNo, owner,...)
&
TBServices(keep service information,like serviceType,serviceDate,..)
in this system, when a car for a first time enter to this system, i insert 1 record for it into TBCar, from second time, every time this car enter to system, one record inserted into TBServices(that refer to 1 record in TBCar,1-& relationship).
now i build a VIEW with these fields:
IDCar,Model,PlaqueNo,Owner,ServiceType,ServiceDate
the expected result from this view, return n record that n is number of records in TBServices. but i want 1 record in result for every car in TBCar.
in this result grid, serviceDate & serviceType is the last record inserted into TBServices.
& i want records in TBCars that dont have any child in TBServices come into my VIEW.
Is there a way to allow users to see the design view of a table withouthaving dbo permissions?Thanks
