Mass Table Structure Change For Column Order
Feb 26, 2008
Say you have an existing populated SQL 2005 database, with 700+ tables, and you want to just change the order of the columns inside every table. Short of manually building conversion scripts, anyone know an automated way to do this? I was thinking thru ways to do them all in one shot, and have tools like Erwin and DbGhost that could be used also. Basically moving some standard audit columns from the end of the tables to just after the PK columns.
Thanks, Bruce

Change Column Data In All Tables At Once
Sep 17, 2005I would like to change column data in all tables in a single database at once.
For instance, i have many tables in a database, and about 30% of the tables has the column "orderplace".
And all the data in orderplace (every tables in the database) are "houston". instead of going to each table and
"update table set orderplace = 'dallas' " .... is there anyway that i could run a sql statement and it will update all the tables in database that has the orderplace column to "orderplace = 'dallas' " ?
any ideas ? thanks.

Database Design Selecting Multiple Different Child Tables
Sep 19, 2000I want to have a linking table say for example we call this a claim. Based on the claim number you need to relate to one of say 6 different types of claims. The types of claims related to their own individual parent table. (individual because each type of claim tracks completely different information) does anyone have an idea on how to set this up?
Sample Structure
table = Claim
Field 1 = ClaimTypeA_ID
Field 2 = ClaimTypeB_ID
Field 3 = ClaimTypeC_ID
Field 4 = ClaimTypeD_ID
Field 5 = ClaimTypeE_ID
Field 6 = ClaimTypeF_ID
The six field relate to the 6 different tables ID.
If I do this how do I store the data? put 0's in each of the claim types that are not used???
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Database Design Question - Isolated, Unrelated Tables
Jun 25, 2007Hi,I have a question regarding best practices in database design. In arelational database, is it wise/necessary to sometimes create tablesthat are not related to other tables through a foreign Keyrelationship or does this always indicate some sort of underlyingdesign flaw. Something that requires a re evaluation of the problemdomain?The reason I ask is because in our application, the user can perform xnumber of high level operations (creating/updating projects, creating/answering surveys etc. etc.). Different users can perform differentoperations and each operation can manipulate one or more table. Thispart of the system is done and working. Now there is a requirement tohave some sort of audit logging inside the database (separate from thetext based log file that the application generates anyway). This"audit logging" table will contain high level events that occur insidethe application (which may or may not relate to a particularoperation). This table is in some sense related to every other tablein the database, as well as data that is not in the database itself(exceptions, external events etc.). For example : it might haveentries that specify that at time x user created project y, at time Auser filled out survey B, at time C LDAP server was down, At time D anunauthorized login attempt occurred etc.As I said, these seems to suggest a stand alone, floating table with afew fields that store entries regarding whats going on the systemwithout any direct relationship to other tables in the database. But Ijust feel uneasy about creating such an isolated table. Another optionis to store the "logging" information in another schema/database, butthat doubles the maintainance work load. Not really looking forward tomaintaining/designing two different schemas.I had a look at the microsoft adventureworks database schema diagramand they seem to have 3 standalong tables - AWBuildVersion, ErrorLogand DatabaseLog (unless i am reading it wrong!)Any advice, Information or resources are much appreciated.
View 12 Replies View RelatedTransact SQL :: Find Unmatching Columns Between Two Tables While Applying A Change Column Prefix Table
Nov 16, 2015For our ETL process, we maintain a TransformationList table that has the source view and the destination table. Data is copied from the view into the table (INSERT INTO). I am trying to find column names in the Views that are not column names in the associated Table.
In the below example, want to end up with three records:
1, View1, Column4
2, View2, Column4
2, View2, Column5
I have it almost working, except that there is a table, ChangeColPrefix table, that is used by the ETL process to change some of the view's column name prefixes. Some of the source views have column names with prefixes that do not match the destination table column names. Say view SouthBase has all the column names prefixed with SB - like SBAcct, SBName. And the Destination table of Area District has ADAcct, ADName. There would be a row in the ChangeColPrefix for SouthBase, SB, AD, 1, 2 that would be used by the ETL process to create the INSERT INTO Area District From SouthBase.
I need to use this ChangeColPreifx to find my unmatching columns between my source views and destination tables. With out that table SBAcct and SBName from SouthBase will not appear to match the columns of ADAcct and ADName, but they do match.
I want to end up with these three records as non-matching:
View1, Column4
View2, Column4
View2, Column5
View1 has Salumn2 and View2 has Salumn5, and they must be changed to Column2 and Column5 as per the ChangeColPrefix table before running the Select from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS EXCEPT Select from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS looking for unmatched columns.

Change Owner Of All The Tables Of Database
Jun 6, 2008
Hi,
it has to do with my unfamiliarity with creating users and dbo privileges. I'm trying to grant access to an outside vendor to import their latest version of a database. I set them up with a user account that had db_owner privileges, however when they ran the dts process it copied all the data as new tables rather than overwriting the existing tables and the new tables were all associated with the user is created instead of dbo user. What do I need to do to facilitate this process?

How To Change The Database Context And Modify Tables?
Oct 4, 2007I have 30+ databases in sql 2000.
I want to dynalically loop though each of the databases and alter a column named 'EmpName' for all the 'Employees' tables in that database.
Here is my attempt.use Master

declare @SQL2 NVARCHAR(1000)declare @TABLE_NAME NVarchar(100)

FETCH NEXT FROM curDB INTO @dbname
While @@FETCH_STATUS=0
Begin
SET @SQL2 = 'USE ' + @DBNAME + ' ALTER TABLE ' + @TABLE_NAME + ' MODIFY EmpName varchar(100)'
from information_schema.tables where table_type = 'BASE TABLE' and table_name like '%Employees%' PRINT @SQL2
EXECUTE SP_EXECUTESQL @SQL2
fetch next from curDB into @DBName
end
Close curDB
End
When i execute the above script in master, it says 'Query executed successfully' but when i see the all the Employees table in each of the database, the required change is not made.

Default Sort Order When Order By Column Value Are All The Same
Apr 14, 2008Hi,
We got a problem.
supposing we have a table like this:
CREATE TABLE a (
aId int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
aName string2 NOT NULL
)
go
ALTER TABLE a ADD
CONSTRAINT PK_a PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (aId)
go
insert into a values ('bank of abcde');
insert into a values ('bank of abcde');
...
... (20 times)
select top 5 * from a order by aName
Result is:
6Bank of abcde
5Bank of abcde
4Bank of abcde
3Bank of abcde
2Bank of abcde
select top 10 * from a order by aName
Result is:
11Bank of abcde
10Bank of abcde
9Bank of abcde
8Bank of abcde
7Bank of abcde
6Bank of abcde
5Bank of abcde
4Bank of abcde
3Bank of abcde
2Bank of abcde
According to this result, user see the first 5 records with id 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 in page 1, but when he tries to view page 2, he still see the records with id 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. This is not correct for users. :eek:
Of course we can add order by aid also, but there are tons of sqls like this, we can't update our application in one shot.
So I ask for your advice here, is there any settings can tell the db use default sort order when the order by column value are the same? Or is there any other solution to resolve this problem in one shot?

I need to alter a table and change the length of one of my fields. I have a couple million rows in the database already and I am getting timeouts when I try to save it after changing the length of the field.
Is there any way to set the database timeout differently for a session in Management Studio.
I have set the Remote Query Timeout property to 0(Unlimited), but my session in SQL Mgmt Studio still gives me the timeout.
If there is no solution to this, can anyone think of something better than this....
