Database/Table/Column Information
Jan 17, 2007Hi,
I need to provide a report that lists the databases in each instance, then the tablenames and the number of rows in each table.
Is there any easy way to do this in SQL 2005?

How To Get Table And Column Information
Aug 18, 2000Okay, I'll admit it: I am not a Guru. Far from it. So here is one of the zillion tasks I cannot do - unfortunately it is one that I need to have done... :
I need a recordset containing the Name, Datatype, Size, Precision, and Name_of_parent_table of all columns in all non-system tables in a given database.
Most likely this can be accomplished with one or two SPs, but which ones? And how?
Is there any Kind Soul out there, perhaps?

Getting Column Information From Table
Jan 7, 2006Hi,
Is it possible to retrieve column information alone in the sp_columns command? I saw that it has an additional option "@column_name". But when I include it in my sql, it doesn't work the way I had expected it to..
I had tried sp_columns @table_name='mytable', @column_name='COLUMN_NAME'
I expect just the column names alone in the resultset. What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks and Regards,
Celia.
Serious Trouble Getting Database Table Information
Feb 7, 2001I would like to know how to (if it is at all possible) in SQL (or even ADO) to retrieve all the data concerning database X's
a) Tables
b) Tables column names
c) Tables column's data types
I don't want to use the doa.tabledefs object.. .i would prefer to do it in SQL, but using ADO objects (since I am developing stuff in VB) would be ok too.
Please Help.. i have been going crazy trying to find anything useful.. email me back please!
Thanks,

Point Of Information - Checking For Existence Of A Table In Another Database...
Feb 22, 2005Hi all,
While cleaning up some code, I ran across the following statement in a stored proc - the purpose of which is to determine if a table exists in the local database: SELECT * FROM dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[XML_PRINTDATE]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1of course I removed it from the IF just for testing purposes, but my quandry is this...
Why chose that select (converting table name to object ID) rather than just doing THIS:SELECT * FROM dbo.sysobjects where name = N'XML_PRINTDATE' and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1
I first thought it was to gain access to the "id" column value (and that may yet be the purpose of it), but the second code seems to work just peachy (I assume because the id column is present in the sysobjects table itself).
A follow-on question is this:
When I try to do the same check from another server (i.e.SELECT * FROM APRECEIVE1.DailyProd.dbo.sysobjects where name = N'XML_PRINTDATE' and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1) it of course fails because OBJECTPROPERTY only looks for the id on the local database.
So, do I CARE if it is a user table? (I am reasonably sure it is, of course) and if so, is there a way to check on the remote server for the object type?
Bottom line is I Think I can just simplify things and check for the object name on the remote server, but just don't want to take away any "warm fuzzy feeling" generated by the original stored proc, if such a warm fuzzy is of any benefit (though don't get me started on the relativity of warm fuzzies, I wrote my Thesis on that ;) )
Transact SQL :: Possible To Get Table Relationships Information From Database Diagram?
May 5, 2015I'm using Sql Server 2012 Enterprise and have a database with over 400 tables. I am looking at one diagram which contains about 20 (or so) tables and their relationships. When I right-click on a relationship line I only see information about which tables are connected on that line but not on which fields. Can I get that information from the Diagram or can I only get that from the sys tables?

Could Not Get The Column Information From The OLE DB Provider 'IBMDA400'
Mar 4, 2004Hello
I'm trying to get data from as400 server to sql server, trough a job.
The job executes a stored procedure that retrieves data from a view in an other database on the same server. That view gets the data from as400.
Now, when i run the mentioned stored procedure in the query analyzer, everything works fine, but when the stored procedure is executed from the scheduled job, it fails each time giving the error
"Could not get the column information from the OLE DB provider 'IBMDA400'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7350). The step failed."
on random points during that process (by that i mean the lenght of time it runs)
does anyone know what the diffrence is between executing an sp in query analyzer or using a job, keeping in mind retrieving data from as400?
thanks

View 6 Replies View RelatedError: Unable To Retrieve Column Information From The Data Source
Jul 7, 2006Hi,
I am trying to set up a data flow task. The source is "SQL Command" which is
a stored procedure. The proc has a few temp tables that it outputs the final
resultset from. When I hit preview in the ole db source editor, I see the
right output. When I select the "Columns" tab on the right, the "Available
External Column List" is empty. Why don't the column names appear? What is
the work around to get the column mappings to work b/w source and
destination in this scenario.
In DTS previously, you could "fool" the package by first compiling the
stored procedure with hardcoded column names and dummy values, creating and
saving the package and finally changing the procedure back to the actual
output. As long as the columns remained the same, all would work.
Thats not working for me in SSIS.
Thanks in advance.

Unable To Retrieve Column Information In Flatfile Connection Within Foreach Loop Container
Jan 11, 2007Hello, I am getting very frustrated! I have got a Foreach loop container which I am processing files within a folder. I have a flatfile connection manager which I have set up using a test file and have updated the expressions attribute to be the package variable I set up in the collection for the loop container however everytime I run it I get the error: 0xC0202094 cannot retrieve the column information from the flatfile connection manager. I can only guess that it is either the variable being passed to the connection manager or the way I set up the connection manager. When I msgbox the variable in a script component before the dataflow step, the variable for the file seems fine. Any suggestions are REALLY appreciated.

Extracting Information Outside A Table
Feb 22, 2008Hi,
I have two tables - a stock table and a transaction table. The stock table is called stock and the transaction table is called trans. The table make a point of sale database. Both table have a joining field called prod_no.
I want to extract the stock line by querying stock.prod_no that are not present in the trans table for a period of time specified.
Basically, I want to find dead stock lines that have not been sold and, therefore, are not in the transaction table but that have a stock figure. I have to enter in a start and end date paramater using the ddate field in the trans table. I have looked at left, right and outer joins but with no luck and don't even know if this is the correct query type to use.
any help would be much appreciated,
