I need to edit a column (PK - GUID) from "Row is GUID = False) to (Row is GUID = True). I get a DLL internal error.
I hate to drop the table & recreate from scratch...wish you could edit in SSMSE.
Also, I used sync services to create the SDF, you would think that it would be the same as the MDF (just a gripe...sorry )
VB 2008
SQL 2005 Express

I have a table with data in it. Now I want to change the Data Type from int to varchar. Is there anyway to do this because I don't want to delete all the data and re-enter it. That seems to be the only way I can see to change the data type. I would appreciate some help. thanks.

Update the sysdevices table to point to the new location (ex: D:SQLTESTDB.DAT)
Stop the SQL Server
Physically move the file to the new location
Restart the SQL Server.
How can I update sysdevices table?
Hi. I am not sure why, but i can't change any of the values in my Table Designer. I want to change my primary key's "IsIdentity" value to "yes" and the Identity Increment to "1" but everything is greyed out and nothing is editable. Please help! I am not in debug/run mode when i am editing these values. I have a feeling that I am going to feel stupid when somebody points out what i am (not) doing. So, any takers?
View 7 Replies View RelatedHi guys,
I'm having a bit of a nightmare with MS SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager(running on XP Pro SP2).
Basically I've been running it on my laptop and my desktop with no problems for months and suddenly I can't seem to edit any data in any table?
Basically I'm using Enterprise manager to connect the database which is hosted externally by Fasthosts. I've called them and explain the problem, they told me to increase my Query Timeout to 300 seconds, which I have done but still no joy.
I can open and query tables but when i simply open a table and return all rows, even the smallest of tables (i.e. just 2 rows) as soon as I try and edit even just a field containing a bit of data is just hangs for about a minute until I get the following error;
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Communication link failure
I've again called Fasthosts who assure me that it was working at their end etc and that was about all they could do !! very helpful...
Anyways, does anyone have any ideas ? As I really need to edit some data in the tables for a deadline and this is extremely frustating as it was working just a few days before. I've tried removing SQL server and re-installing but I'm still getting the same problem.
Any help/ideas would be massively appreciated !!
Many thanks

I have a database with tables that are used for various front-ends, Access 97 and ASP. All of a sudden, my "Stores" table will not let me add, edit, delete, insert records. I checked security permissions everywhere and cannot figure out why this is happening. Is there something linked to this that might be running a process that might be causing this?
TIA,

Hi guys,
I need provide some of my users an easy way of accessing a SQL Server table through MS Access so that
they can edit the table.
Please let me know which of the following is more appropriate to accomplish this task.
1. Creating a Data Access Page
2. Creating a Link Table
I thought I could it do it though a Data Access Page but I was only able to see the data but not edit it. But, I
know there is a way of doing this. Please throw some light on this topic.
Thanks a lot for your time.

Hi!I am able to add records to my SQL 2005 database using bound forms in myAccess application, but if I try to edit any records (not only the newrecords I create) using the same bound forms, I receive a write conflict.For the record, I am currently the only user of this application and my SQLServer database has only one userID. I used this userID to create all ofthe objects in the database and to connect to the database from Access. Thedata sources for the bound forms are linked tables, the record source typeis set to "Dynaset" and the record locks are set to "No Locks". "Opendatabases using record-level locking" is checked.The write error says that another user has changed the current record sinceit was opened (since I'm currently the only user this isn't possible) andasks me to copy my changes to the clipboard or drop the changes.Can anyone suggest what might be causing this? Thanks!

I'm just posting this to make sure I didn't mess anything.
Is the only way to enter/edit table data (in grid view) is through the VS (Express) IDE?
The reason why I ask is because I installed the Sql Server 2008 developer trial to get the Management Studio and pretty much the only things I can do are create/edit/delete databases, tables and the like.
It would be nice for the Management Studio (and Express at that) to have those capabilites. It would be nice to not have to create connections in the VS IDE to diffferent databases to edit them. Opening up the Management Studio and selecting the database seems like the proper (if not accustomed) way to do it.
Thanks,

Hi everyone, this is is my first post, so please reply and help.
I'm working on a project right now that uses asp 2.0 and SQL server 2005 express edition. This is a general idea of the project. In our company some of us receive ECO notifications (engineering change orders) for our products and we need to implement these to the test scripts that are on the production floor. So the project is about entering the new ECO into a database which will send an automatic notification to our test team. When they receive the notification they will have to sign in to the website and introduce their login and password to sign off the ECO (Following some checkpoints already defined by me, for example, Area ready, Test script modification necessary, new firmware introduction, comments, etc...) but I also need to record WHO and WHEN sign that ECO. We have 3 different test areas in our factory: Electrical, Functional and Systems, so all THREE areas must be signed off in order to the ECO go to a IMPLEMENTED state (at this point i need to send a new email saying that the eco has been implemented in all three areas).
So far I've completed the following things:
-users validation (logins, areas)
-New custom entry form for the ECOs and automatic email notification (part of what I did is described below). Dim ECODataSource As New SqlDataSource()ECODataSource.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ECO_ICSConnectionString1").ToString()
ECODataSource.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.StoredProcedure
ECODataSource.InsertCommand = "EcoNew"
ECODataSource.InsertParameters.Add("EcoNumber", EcoNumberTextBox.Text)
ECODataSource.InsertParameters.Add("EcoDescription", EcoDescriptionTextBox.Text)
ECODataSource.InsertParameters.Add("EcoMandatory", EcoMandatoryDropDownList.Text)
-Depending on which test area is the the engineering from, I can filter the ECOs and just shows the ones that their test area is pending. (using GridView)
But I'm stuck right now when the engineers have to sign the ECO for their test areas. I was able to use the Gridview and DetailsView to EDIT most of the things that I need. But there are somethings that I don't like:
1. When using the EDIT option on Gridview or Detailsview, all fields can be edited including ECO number, description and mandatory, which I don't want them to change. If I set those columns to read only, when editing that row again. It gives me an error that says that the ECOnumber can't be NULL, but if I remove these 3 columns the Engineer will not know which ECO they have sign. They are only going to be able to see the EcoId, which doesn't say much.
2. Also I saw that I wasn't able to do is to enter the USER login and CURRENT system date and time automatically. I don't want them to manually enter the date and their login manually.
3. Finally, when the last area signs the ECO, I want to update that record and set a flag that tells me that the ECO has been completed.
So what I really want is to create some sort of form (textboxes, labels, checkboxes, etc.) that will UPDATE the selected ECO from the gridview for instance. So when I select the row from the GridView, It will show the data (Econumber, description and mandatory as READ ONLY) and use the rest of the things as INPUT for the engineer to complete. At the end an "update button" and when I click it, It will enter/update the data on that specific row, but including the time and user login as well.
Also to check if the other 2 areas have signed and if so, change the ECOReadiness flag to 1 and send the email.
Is there a code like the one I used above to do this ? Or if you think there a better way to do this, I'll be very glad to hear it.
I'm new using sql and asp, so If i'm asking some dumb questions please forgive me. .
Here's my table definition for your reference:
EcoId - primary key.
EcoNumber
EcoDescription
EcoMandatory
EcoReadiness <- Flag for the entire ECO, when ALL 3 areas have signed, this will be 1.
ATE < - Flag for Electrical area.
ATEscripts < - Just a Yes/no input.
ATEengineer <- user login
ATEdatetimestamp <- Date.Now()
FAT < - Flag for functional.
FATscripts
FATengineer
FATdatetimestamp
SYSTEMS < - Flag for systems.
SYSTEMSscripts
SYSTEMSengineer
SYSTEMSdatetimestamp

I’ve got a situation where the columns in a table we’re grabbing from a source database keep changing as we need more information from that database. As new columns are added to the source table, I would like to dynamically look for those new columns and add them to our local database’s schema if new ones exist. We’re dropping and creating our target db table each time right now based on a pre-defined known schema, but what we really want is to drop and recreate it based on a dynamic schema, and then import all of the records from the source table to ours.It looks like a starting point might be EXEC sp_columns_rowset 'tablename' and then creating some kind of dynamic SQL statement based on that. However, I'm hoping someone might have a resource that already handles this that they might be able to steer me towards.Sincerely,
Bryan Ax
we have a table in our ERP database and we copy data from this table into another "stage" table on a nightly basis. is there a way to dynamically alter the schema of the stage table when the source table's structure is changed? in other words, if a new column is added to the source table, i would like to add the column to the stage table during the nightly refresh.

I'd like to create a temporary table with the same schema as an exiting table. How can I do this without hard coding the column definitions into the temporary table definition?
I'd like to do something like:
CREATE TABLE #tempTable LIKE anotherTable
..instead of...
CREATE TABLE #tempTable (id INT PRIMARY KEY, created DATETIME NULL etc...
I'm sure there must be a simple way to do this!

Sometimes I want to quickly to edit a record in a table instead of using an insert statement.
Sometimes there are auditing columns like DateCreated, and CreatedBy,
I know it can be made as default. for DateCreated to be sysdatetime, and createdby to be system user.
But I just curious to know if there is a way to manually enter today's date and the user in the cell?
Hi
I come from a MySQL background and have been having some trouble finding the MSSQL command that corresponds to MySQL's "describe." I Googled for around 1/2 hour but can't seem to find it.
Any help appreciated
Hey,
I'm looking at creating a table in a stored procedure
[declare @tempTable table]
however, rather than then declaring the tables schema
[declare @tempTable table (pkField IDENTITY (1,1), SomeOtherField varchar(50), ...)]
I'd like it to simply use the schema of an already existing table (plus an additional column).
Is there a way to do this without having to manually write the table schema?
A simple example is:
I have a table
OriginalTable (idCol, NameCol, InfoCol)
I'd like to create a temp instance of that table called tempTable which would have a final schema of
tempTable (idCol, NameCol, InfoCol, myTempCol)
The reason I'd like to do this using the schema is so that I don't need to update all my procedures in the future when we decide to add some more detail to the originaltable which needs to be selected as well.
Thanks a lot for any help or direction you can provide.

Hi Gurus,
I am looking for a script which lists me the differences between two table schemas.
Thanks in advance

We currently have all tables in the dbo schema, but for organizational reason we would like to split them up in multiple schemas and I wonder if that can be done without re-creating the tables.
So my question is, is there a way to move a table into a different schema without re-creating it? (For those familiar with Postgres I'm looking for an equivalent to "ALTER TABLE foo SET SCHEMA newschema") sp_rename only allows a "one-part name" for the new name, so apparently that cannot be used.
I have created a table on SQL Server from SAS. The table gets created fine. However, the table schema has my user ID in it (AD-ENTmyuserid.Table1). How can I change the schema to dbo.(dbo.Table1)? It's fine if I have to make this change in SQL Server Management Studio.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am a bit confused and wish to share this with you for help. We are designing a billing application to bill telephone calls. It currently handles a single rate plan. So what it does is that it looks up the RATES table and matches the called number area code with the RATES.ACCESS_Code field to find the tariff for that area and multiplies that by the number of minutes. Here is the current schema.
CALLS
•ID (pkid)
•Called Number
•Duration
RATES
•Destination Name
•Access_Code (pkid)
•Tariff
Now the problem is that we need to process calls based on RATES per OPERATOR. Each operator is a telephony carrier with similar RATES. However, each call will be prefixed with a number to indicate which operator carried that call. Accordingly, the database should relate that prefix with the proper operator and then looks up the RATES that are related to that operator.
In conclusion we will have a replica of the RATES table for multiple operators. An operator is only supposed to have two fields I guess (name and ID).
So now we need to re-engineer the schema to adapt to this situation.
Eg. 95004433313445 (Will be identified as BT operator)
93004422376234 (Will be identified as AT&T operator)
Can anyone help please?
PS: we are using SQL Express 2005

I created a schema, Admin. I have to transfer a table from the dbo schema to the admin schema. I keep getting an error that I do not have permission or the table does not exist.
Simply looking for confirmation here - is my syntax correct?
ALTER SCHEMA Admin TRANSFER MyShop.Addresses;
(MyShop is the Database, Addresses is the table)
NOTE: When I created the schema, I did not create an inner table. The syntax for that was simply CREATE SCHEMA Admin;

Column AColumn BColumn C

I need the schema details of the table like datatype of column A , B and C as well as default values of all the columns and all other details of those 3 columns.
Quick question:Does SQL do table/schema changes "in place"?I've got a large table (140+ million rows of very widedata) that we want to change the schema on -- basicallyto remove a number of the unused data elements that wedon't use.Anyway, does anyone know if SQL will do an in-placechange, or if it will copy the table to a new table, therebyincreasing my space allocation needs? I'd effectively,temporarily, need space for two tables while the changeis happening if it copies the table first. This is not good asI do not have enough available space at the moment.If you've got pointers to specific MS docs regardingthis issue, please let me have 'em.Thanks in advance.
