WHen researching an index name problem, I found duplicate index names in sysindexes, referencing the same table. I notice that one of the indexes has a status = 2097154 and a indid of 2 while the other has a status of 0 and a indid of 0. I believe these are duplicates. Anybody have an idea if these really are and what the status and indid fields mean?
View 1 RepliesHow can I use sysindexes table to determine the indexes, tables being indexed, and the columns to which the indexes belong.

The sysindexes table of my database seems to be messedup and I cannot backup my database.
Here is the error
17052 :
Table error: IAM page (1:278538) (object ID 2, index ID 255) is out of the range of this database.
FYI Object ID 2 is the sysindexes table.

I have a client table containing Client ID, DOB First Name and Last Name Etc. I would like to run a query to identify rows where the Last name is similar and the DOB is a match but to also include the client ID and name in the row. I have used the below query with the soundex function, but I would like to alter it to show the clientID and name.
Any help would be really appreciated.
SELECT DOB, soundex(Lastname) AS NameSoundex, count(*) as Duplicates
FROM ClientsALL
GROUP BY DOB, soundex(lastname)
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1

I have a .NET program that can connect to either an Access 97 database or anSQL Server 7 database. In the database I have two tables which have a fieldcalled ID. When I run a query like "SELECT A.*, B.* FROM A, B", the queryreturns those fields as "A.ID" and "B.ID" when connected to Access 97, butas "ID" and "ID" in SQL Server 7. Is there anyway to get SQL Server toprepend the table name to the field name in a case like this and not returnduplicate field names like that without having to specify aliases for thefields?- Don

In my employee table has the following fields empid, empFname, empLname, email, city
Say it has data like follows:
1, Lucy, Sam, l@some.com, city1
2. Sam, Wite, l@some.com, city2
3. Laura, Mac, l@some.com, city2
4. Stacy, Soo, s@no.com , city1
So in my case I want to show all the column but I want to eliminate multiple email addresses. I tried Distinct but its not workin because here every column is not distinct. So what should I use?
In my case I only want to show empID 1, 3, 4. I want to show all the columns
I am designing a package to export staging tables into a flat file.The names of the tables will be: TableAStaging_YYYYMM and TableBStaging_YYYYMM. As you can see the names of the tables will be changing each month.
The flat files will have similar naming: C:MyPathFlatFileTableAStaging__YYYYMM and C:MyPathFlatFileTableAStaging__YYYYMM.I want to run the package as an sql job in two steps, one for each table.I need to dynamically pass the table names and file names (together with the path) to the IS package.
Hi
I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how we could find the table names and column names of the tables in our Sql server database at runtime/dynamically given our connection string? Please let me know.
Thanks.
Hello Everyone:
I am using the Import/Export wizard to import data from an ODBC data source. This can only be done from a query to specify the data to transfer.
When I try to create the tables, for the query, I am getting the following error:
Msg 2714, Level 16, State 4, Line 12
There is already an object named 'UserID' in the database.
Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 12
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
I have duplicated this error with the following script:
USE [testing]
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users1]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users1]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users1] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users2]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users2]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users2] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users3]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users3]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users3] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
I have searched the "2714 duplicate error msg," but have found references to duplicate table names, rather than multiple field names or column name duplicate errors, within a database.
I think that the schema is only allowing a single UserID primary key.
How do I fix this?
TIA
I'm trying to do an update query that looks like this:
UPDATE
PAEMPLOYEE
SET PAEMPLOYEE.LOCAT_CODE = EMPLOYEE.PROCESS_LEVEL
FROM
PAEMPLOYEE A
JOIN EMPLOYEE B ON A.EMPLOYEE = B.EMPLOYEE
It's erroring out on the Employee prefix B.EMPLOYEE saying:
..."does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query"
Is it wrong or will it cause problems to have a field name the same as the table name?
Hello,
Maybe anyone have done that before?
I have table where i store SOURCE_TABLE_NAME and DESTINATION_TABLE_NAME, there is about 120+ tables.
i need make SSIS package which selects SOURCE_TABLE_NAME from source ole db, and loads it to DESTINATION_TABLE_NAME in destination ole db.
I made such SSIS package. set ole db source data access mode to table or view name variable.
set ole db destination data access mode to table or view name variable. set to variables defoult values (names of existing tables)
but when i loop table names is changed, it reports error, that can map columns, becouse in new tables is different columns.
how to solve that problem?
How do I use table names stored in variables in stored procedures?
Code Snippetif (select count(*) from @tablename) = 0 or (select count(*) from @tablename) = 1000000
I receive the error 'must declare table variable '@tablename''
I've looked into table variables and they are not what I would require to accomplish what is needed.
After browsing through the forums I believe I need to use dynamic sql particuarly involving sp_executesql. However, I am pretty new at sql and do not really understand how to use this and receive an output parameter from it(msdn kind of confuses me too). I am tryin got receive an integer count of the records from a certain table which can change to anything depending on what the user requires.
Code Snippet
if exists(Select * from sysobjects where name = @temptablename)
drop table @temptablename
It does not like the 'drop table @temptablename' part here. This probably wouldn't be an issue if I could get temporary tables to work, however when I use temporary tables i get invalid object '#temptable'.
Heres what the stored procedure does.
I duplicate a table that is going to be modified by using 'select into temptable'
I add the records required using 'Insert into temptable(Columns) Select(Columns)f rom TableA'
then I truncate the original table that is being modified and insert the temporary table into the original.
Heres the actual SQL query that produces the temporary table error.
Code Snippet
Select * into #temptableabcd from TableA
Insert into #temptableabcd(ColumnA, ColumnB,Field_01, Field_02)
SELECT ColumnA, ColumnB, Sum(ABC_01) as 'Field_01', Sum(ABC_02) as 'Field_02',
FROM TableB
where ColumnB = 003860
Group By ColumnA, ColumnB
TRUNCATE TABLE TableA
Insert into TableA(ColumnA, ColumnB,Field_01, Field_02)
Select ColumnA, ColumnB, Sum(Field_01) as 'Field_01', Sum('Field_02) as 'Field_02',
From #temptableabcd
Group by ColumnA, ColumnB
The above coding produces
Msg 208, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Invalid object name '#temptableabcd'.
Why does this seem to work when I use an actual table? With an actual table the SQL runs smoothly, however that creates the table names as a variable problem from above. Is there certain limitation with temporary tables in stored procedures? How would I get the temporary table to work in this case if possible?
Thanks for the help.
I have a function that returns a table from a comma-delimited string.

Hello,
It is possible to write stored procedures which take table names as parameters; is it also possible to do this with table valued functions?
For example, a simple stored procedure is this:
CREATE PROCEDURE SelectTop(@tableName sysname)
AS
BEGIN
Execute('Select top 10 * from ' + @tableName + ';')
END
I want to be able to do the analogous thing with a table valued function (so that I can query the result set, without having to create a temp table). How should I do this (i.e., pass a tablename as an argument to a table valued function)?
When you have a table with no indexes you can see the table name in sysindexes and the relevant data in the rest of the fields with an indid of 0. I understand this bit.....but when you have created an index and then you delete it again.... the row in sysindexes just has the tablename and no other data?
Weird or by design?
Cheers timmers
I have read at this location--
http://www.swynk.com/friends/achigrik/RowCount.asp
that it is better to use sysindexes to get a rowcount.
Can I be assured that this is always up-to-date?
It seems my sysindexes table is inaccurate on a nonclustered index. In my case the rowcount (rows and rowcnt) do not match the actual rowcount of the table. The command UPDATE STATISTICS doesn't change the rows or rowcount, adding 'FULSLCAN' won't budge rowcount either.
After I did a dbcc reindex, the number of rows matched, however, upon adding rows in the table both rows and rowcount are out of sync again.
It's a fairly straightforward table, no triggers, no computed fields, only integer, datetime, varchar and bigint columns. There's a clustered index on a bigint column and a nonclustered index on a integer column.
dbcc show_statistics show that the nonclustered index is updated and it's rows and rows sampled match the number of rows in the table (not in the sysindexes-table).
I'd like to know if I'm chasing ghosts here or if there's something very wrong here. What could be causing the counts being inaccurate? Anyone who could shed some light?
i hav a table, Test1, with a clustered index and two non clustered index defined on it.
When i use sp_help Test1, the CI and non clustered index are listed along with the column names.
when i query the sysindex table (for id = object_id(Test1))
i can see entries like _WA_Sys_<<ColumnName>>_3D5EEB29.
what are these entries? are they indexes? if yes, how these entries are created and what is the significance of these entries.
Pl discuss.
Thanks.

Forth of all, I can't use a backup because it is old.
Can i copy system tables from old database to the current one that we are using...
I tried to export and import data from this corrupted database but it would give me errors...
Is there anyway that i can adjust this database.

Hi there. I haven't been able to figure out how to join a table on column on multiple table names. Here's the situation:
I have a table "tblJob" with a key of jobID. Now for every jobID, the program creates a new table that keeps track of the stock before the jobId was processed and after it was processed to give accurate stock levels and show the difference in stock levels. So, a jobID of 355 would be related to the table: "tblPreStock_335" and "tblPostStock_335". These 2 tables have all the materials in stock and the quantity. Therefore they show how much material was used. I need to figure out the difference in the material in the stock before and after the processing.
That means that I have to get a stockID, get the associated pre and post tables, and then display the difference of ALL the materials in the pre and post tables.
Could someone help me get started on the right path? Even a link to similiar problem that I haven't found would be nice.
Thx
I am trying to attach a database that was created on another server. I believe the database was created using SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005. Now, I have successfully attached the database in my development environment, which is using SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005.
However, when I tried to attach the database onto our production server, which is SQL Server 2000 I received the error:
Error 602:Could not find row in sysindexes for database ID 18, object ID 1, index ID 1. Run DBCC CheckTable on sysindexes.
In my development environment, I ran DBCC CheckDB on the source database and no errors are returned.
I aslo checked the compatibility level under the database properties and it shows: Sql Server 2000 (80)
So, this should not be a version incompatibility issue. What is causing the attach to fail on SQL Server 2000?
Thanks for any help.

1. my database can not truncate log and I use this command
BACKUP LOG IMVDB2 WITH NO_LOG
and after that I received result as below
->The log was not truncated because records at the beginning of the log are pending replication. Ensure the Log Reader Agent is running or use sp_repldone to mark transactions as distributed.
2. so I drop all replicate but it's still return same error
so I try to run
DBCC CHECKDB --> but no error meesage
DBCC CHECKALLOC --> but no error meesage
DBCC CHECKTABLE ('sysindexes') --> but no error meesage
but I tried to run
3. DBCC PAGE (IMVDB2, 1, 13015, 3) i recieved

so what can I do the next to fix this problem, please help[/b]
I have some errors in my DB, we do have a backup plan in place, but the person who put it in place is no longer here. It's all automated and running, the problem is , we do A LOT of transactions a day, and the error has been in the db since 9/20(2.5 weeks) when someone shut the power off accidentally. So i'm reluctant to do a backup, mainly since i have NO idea how to do one, we do full and incremental, full on weekend, incremental weeknights.
below is the biggest problem SYSINDEXES :(. a few other tables had problems but DBCC with repair_allow_data_loss has fixed those with 'hardly' any data loss. What can I do here?

I need to write a script which will respond differently if a table's index forces uniqueness.
I am using SQL 7.0 and I am using the [sysindexes] table of my database to examine those indexes. I am using the [id] field from the [sysobjects] table for the table I am examining and I am using that [id] field to find like-valued [id] fields in the [sysindexes] table.
My problem is that I can't seem to determine, from an examination of the [sysindexes] table, whether, or not, an index is unique.
When adding an index, and checking the unique property of that index, the values that I get in the [status] field of [sysindexes] are different from the values which are supposed to show, at least according to the sysindexes (T-SQL) entry in SQL Server Books Online.
For instance, I have a table which combines two text fields which comprise the only key on a table. The unique and clustered boxes are checked in the index setup screen. When I look in the [sysindexes] table, the value in the [status] field is 2113554, which is not a value I see in the books online page. According to my books online page, a unique index should have a value of 2 in the [status] field and a clustered index should have a value of 16 in the [status] field. My assumption is that I should see a value of 18 in that [status] field, not 2113554.
I looks like the books online entry might be out-of-date because the field that is labeled [reserved1] in my books online page, is labeled [StatVersion] in my actual [sysindexes] table. That [StatVersion] field looks suspiciously like a Status Version field, possibly indicating that the Status field has undergone some sort of version revision?
Is anyone familiar with this stuff?
Thanks.

I've treid DBCC CHECKDBing all related tables and everything else. Even tried dbreindexing a couple of them too, everything reports as correct. When I looked further at the problem I spotted "index ID 2" in there, on checking this out in sysindexes it seems that the name field of sysindexes where id = 2 is SYSINDEXES and TSYSINDEXES.
