Data Access :: Insert Rows To MS Access 2013 Without Listing Column Names
Nov 12, 2015We need to insert data/rows from a SQL Server 2014 database into MS Access database. The problem is, there are so many columns (100+) in the table and there are so many insert transactions of this kind (from different tables) that it is not very easy to write the code in VB.NET that lists all column names.
Both the Access and SQL Server tables have the same number of columns and the equivalent data types, so inserting is not really the problem. It's just that is there a way to do an insert statement in T-SQL that does not name all the columns?

Find Table And Column Name From Data
Jun 14, 2007I need to find a table and column name from some given data. I know what data i want to edit, I just need to know where it is located and the database is too big to manually go through. It is Microsoft sql server 2000. Any help is appreciated.

Sep 15, 2002I need to find column names if any after 2 “check” columns.
Scenario: I have a database, with approx 400-1500 tables, depending on installation of software. The software is structured so that, when it synchronizes the SQL database it will create all the columns e.g. custacc, custname etc. and then it will always put in two check columns “CheckOne” and “CheckTwo” these two columns has to be the two last ones. In 99.9 this always works fine, but sometime if the users creates a new field in the software, when it synchronizes the new field “lands” behind the two checkfields, which is not good.
So what I am after is a script, which can run through all user tables, tell me if there are columns after the two checkfields and list those tables if any.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Henrik.
SQL Server 2012 :: Find Out If Whole Column Of Data In A Table Is Empty?
Dec 2, 2013I have created some dynamic sql to check a temporary table that is created on the fly for any columns that do contain data. If they do the column name is added to a dynamic sql, if not they are excluded. This looks like:
If (select sum(Case when [Sat] is null then 0 else 1 end) from #TABLE) >= 1 begin set @OIL_BULK = @OIL_BULK + '[Sat]' +',' END
However, I am currently running this on over 230 columns and large tables 1.3 mil rows and it is quite slow. How I can dynamically create a sql script that only selects the columns in the table where there is data in a speedier manner. Unfortunately it has to be on the fly because the temporary table is created on the fly.

Get Column Names From Table
Nov 15, 2005Hi 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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedTo Create Unique Table Names And Access Them In Code...
Jan 17, 2006Hi all,My program is a central data processing application built in ASP.We have different companies that use different web pages on another webapplication (from different countries) to load some inventory data(merchandise - clothes).Here is my requirement: Load different types of data (in differentformats) into a common set of tables, to do this I have to firstfilter, do lookup's, use cross-reference tables on this data and thenload it into a couple of tables.Since data is so different everytime, I want to have one main storedprocedure in which I can build the table (I know the format of thisdata so I know what columns/types to create) into which I will feed thedata.After this I will create other stored procs/udf's that reference thistable (probably from the same main stored proc) 'cleanse' the databefore loading into the actual tables.How feasible is my approach? (if you can call it one :-) I do not wantto have seperate tables for each country, that will be too many and sothis plan...If not any other ideas will be really helpful.thanks much
View 3 Replies View RelatedPrepending Column Names By Table
Oct 4, 2006I wasn't sure whether or not to post this in the .NET or MsSQL forum, mods please move accordingly.
Say I have two tables: Store, and Area that have the following columns:
Area:
AreaID, AreaName, Description
Store:
StoreID, AreaID, StoreName, Description
When I run the following query :
SELECT * FROM Area, Store WHERE Area.AreaID = Store.AreaID, the following columns come back from the .NET SQLDataReader
AreaID, AreaName, Description, StoreID, AreaID, StoreName, Description
Even though the Description fields are different there is no differentiation between which one is which (other than an integer index)
Is there a way to form the SQL query so the columns come back
Area.AreaID, Area.AreaName, Area.Description etc...
I was hoping to do something like the following
Select Area.* as 'Area.'.* ...
but that wasn't liked by the SQL server, any ideas?
Note: The actual tables are more complex than this, and the table names aren't static. Individually aliasing columns won't work, nor will checking the alias.

Modifying Data Column Names And Data Types
Mar 13, 2008I'm in the process of converting a rather huge VSAM database into a set of SQL tables.
I am using the same data names from the mainframe (like XDB-NAME to RDB-NAME).
I load the files using Import Export Data and it makes the tables with such column names as col001, col002, col003, etc... and always sets the data types to varchr(255).
And I have to cut and paste the data names from the manframe side to the server side (and the data types to.)
So, is there an easier way to do this? Or am I doomed to cut-n-paste my days away...
Thanks for any help.
Bcp Data Extractions With The Column Names!
Jul 18, 2007Ok, i am finally giving in on this one and asking for some help! I am trying to set up a T-SQL Statement that will extract data from all the tables in the current database to a csv file including Column names!
I know that bcp can not handle the column names, so i tried to get around this with an append of the column names from a select, but unfortunatly the select gives me the names in Alpha order and not the order of the fields.
I have tried putting in an order by on the select, but this does not seem to have any effect. I have included the snippet of my script that is causing the problem here :
-- set up the echo command
select @colcommand= 'exec master..xp_cmdshell'
+ ' '''
+ 'echo ' + @names + ' >> c:cp' + TABLE_CATALOG + '.' + TABLE_SCHEMA + '.' + TABLE_NAME + '.txt'
+ ''''
from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES where TABLE_NAME=@TABLE
and just in case you are interested in the rest of the script, the full monster is included at the bottom of the post. Also if you can see any more efficient ways of doing what i am trying to do, please let me know!
Thank you for your help in advance.

Column Names In Data Warehouse
Mar 12, 2008Hi all,
I'm working on my first data warehouse and I'm not sure how I should name the columns in the database.
The first phase of the data warehouse is to store a bunch of data from one third party source. The source contains over 100 pieces of data and the business user doesn't even know what some of the fields are but he wants to store everything. The third party refers to the each field with a somewhat cryptic short name and a longer description. The short name isn't always cryptic.
My question is am I better off naming my columns the same as the source system's short name so that I can easily debug problems later? Should I instead try to shorten their definition into something meaningful? On a side note, I'm 100% positive that we'll never populate the tables in questions with data from an additional source.
Thanks!

How To Determine Table And Column Names In A Trigger?
May 5, 2008Hi all,
I'm new to this whole trigger 'thing', so forgive me if this question has been asked and answered a few times already.
I'm in the process of writing a trigger that will send an e-mail to an application admin when any table within a given database is altered (IE, a column is added or deleted). I can get the e-mail to fire off when that happens without any issue, but I'd like to be able to let the admin know which table was tweaked and what new column was added.
Is this a relatively easy thing to do and I'm just not finding the right built-in variable name, or does something more need to be done?
Thanks,
