Table Name Convention For Related Tables
Nov 1, 2007Hi,
If I have 2 tables:
TableA
aID
aCount
TableB
bID
bCount
And I need to create a 3rd table that will look like:
aID
bID
What should I call this table?
I've seen:
relAB
AXB
Any other naming conventions?
Recommended Naming Convention For Tables/columns
May 9, 2008I did a search (google and on the forums) and found a few suggestions here and there, but I'd like something more complete to follow as far as naming conventions are concerned.
I wrote my first DB based on MySQL/Ruby/Active Record type naming convention...
- plural table names
- all lower cased
- underscores between words
- "id" is auto incrementer for each table
- something+"_at" is for datetime fields
- something+"_on" is for date fields
- referencing the primary id in another table is "tablename (singular)" + "_id".
This worked great in Ruby/MySQL, but in C#/SQL Server, its an ambiguity nightmare! All of my "id" fields conflict and alot of my tables have "added_at" datetime fields and they all conflict with each other. Essentially, any field that's named the same in one table as in another conflict on joins.
For example: users post comments to stories submitted by users...
table = articles
field 1 = id
field 2 = title
field 3 = body
field 4 = user_id
table = comments
field 1 = id
field 2 = title
field 3 = body
field 4 = user_id
field 5 = article_id
Trying to join these two tables is an ambiguity nightmare but I'd like to not have to name every field uniquely or start adding table prefixes to them all...
I guess I just need some good suggestions or links to recommended table structure/naming conventions for SQL Server. Thanks in advance!

Oct 21, 2014I have a drop down list that is populated by a stored procedure which has two int parameters (ID, STATUS). I need to default the drop down list to a value in the database that is associated to the ID & STATUS parameters.
The problem I am having is that it only works if the selected value is the first record on the drop down list. for any other records (outside the first record) from the drop down list i get "The 'SelectedIndex' and 'SelectedValue' attributes are mutually exclusive."
Here is the stored procedure I am using to populate the drop down list:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_SelectName]
(
@pId Int,
@pStatus Int
)
AS
BEGIN
IF @pId = -1 --THIS VALUE IS USED AS DEFAULT (NOT POSTBACK)
[Code] ....
Here is the TABLE_NAMES that holds the data for the drop down list:
IN_ID IN_NAMESTATUS
6 New 0
4 Generic 0
3 Local 1
4 Storm 0
This is the TABLE_2 that holds the complete collected FORM data that has the selected record IN_ID from the TABLE_NAME:
ID STATUS IN_ID
111906
114406
114505

SQL Tries To Drop Tables That Don't Exist
Mar 14, 2008When I am initializing a transactional replication from SQL 2005 to Oracle 10g, SQL tries to drop tables that don't exist. The properties option for the articles specifically states "if the name is in use:". The name is not in use, yet SQL still tries to drop non-existent tables, which causes the replication to halt. Anyone seen this before, or have any ideas what to do about it?

Looping To Drop Temp Tables
Sep 10, 2007Hello,
I have a query that's in development that uses several temp tables. In order to test the query repeatedly while it's being written I have the following code at the beginning to discard the temp tables. This allows the query can recreate the temp tables when called in the code.
if object_id('tempdb..#temp1') is not null drop table #temp1
if object_id('tempdb..#temp2') is not null drop table #temp2
if object_id('tempdb..#temp3') is not null drop table #temp3
if object_id('tempdb..#temp4') is not null drop table #temp4
if object_id('tempdb..#temp5') is not null drop table #temp5
Even though this works, it takes multiple lines of code. One of my queries has to drop 12 temp tables, thus 12 lines of code. I have been experimenting with looping the above as follows:
declare @n as nvarchar(3), @table as nvarchar(10)
set @n = 1
while @n <= 5 begin
set @table = '#temp'+@n
if object_id('tempdb..#temp'+@n) is not null drop table @table
set @n = @n + 1
end
Unfortunately, the above does not work. It gives this error message:
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 5
Line 5: Incorrect syntax near '@table'.
I have also tried:
declare @n as nvarchar(3), @dropstmt as nvarchar(25)
set @n = 1
while @n <= 5 begin
set @dropstmt = 'drop table #temp'+@n
if object_id('tempdb..#temp'+@n) is not null @dropstmt
set @n = @n + 1
end
This does not work either. It gives this error message:
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 5
Line 5: Incorrect syntax near '@dropstmt'.
Does anyone know how to get this to work?
Thanks.

View 2 Replies View RelatedRecovering Specific Tables Within A Database.
Mar 27, 2008We currently have a company program in foxpro which inputs all of our information into its database. We are trying to shift from this to new updated software and a SQL database. There is a program we created which converts all the data from our old database into our new SQL database in preparation for our final move to the newer software. However, some of the tables in SQL were not taken directly from our old database but rather added in directly after our initial use of SQL, so when we ran our conversion software, a couple of specific tables were wiped because there was no equivilant within our old database. We already altered our conversion program to not touch those tables again, but is there any way to do a roll back or to find a backup of specific tables?

Script To Create/drop Tables, Indeces, FK ..etc
Apr 17, 2008Greetings
I am thinking of creating a script that generates another script for creating/dropping tables, indeces, FK, views, stored procedures..etc in the right order in a specific database. I accept the fact this script is dangerous (like if I ran it on production server). But it sure will be very helpful when moving our SQL objects from development to qa and then to production. Is this worth it? Haev you see anything that generates such a thing?
Thanks
Drop Temporary Tables Whilst Connected ?
Jul 20, 2005Just a quicky about temporarary tables. If using QA, when you create atemporary table, it gets dropped if you close the query. Otherwise youneed to state 'DROP TABLE myTable' so that you can re-run the querywithout the table being there.Sometimes, you can have quite lengthy SQL statements (in a series)with various drop table sections throughout the query. Ideally youwould put these all at the end, but sometimes you will need to dropsome part way through (for ease of reading and max temp tables etc...)However, what I was wondering is :Is there any way to quickly drop the temporary tables for the currentconnection without specifying all of the tables individually ? Whentesting/checking, you have to work your way through and run each droptable section individually. This can be time consuming, so beingnaturally lazy, is there a quick way of doing this ? When workingthrough the SQL, it's possible to do this quite a lot.ExampleSQL Statement with several parts, each uses a series of temporarytables to create a result set. At the end of a section, these worktables are no longer needed, so drop table commands are used. Thefinal result set brings back the combined results from each sectionand then drops those at the end.TIARyan

Try to move stored proc from one DB to another using DTS, errors on create proc. Create proc manually.
Three tables referenced by that stored proc have been dropped and re-created with the same table structure.
I'm not 100% certain that it happened at exactly the same time, but it seems to be around the same time. Any ideas? Anyone seen this happen before?
