Export Table Designer Column Properties
May 22, 2008
I am trying to create a hard copy of all the table definitions in the database and have not found a way to do so. The report would have all the columns for a partcular table and each property assigned to the column.
For instance Customers table has CustomerId, FirstName, LastName, Phone, etc. The CustomerId is PK, Identity, Auto Increment, BIGINT, NOT NULL. FirstName is NVARCHAR(30), NULL. LastName is NVARCHAR(30), NULL. Phone is NVARCHAR(20), NULL.
Can anyone point me to the right system function or sp to get this info?

I am using SqlServer 2005 and I have created small sample table with culumns that have Extended properties.
FirstName have [First Name] extended propery called M_Caption.
Then I created a view from the table to use in an access database.
My problem is, I can't get the table column extended properties to show up in the view column extended properties.
Here is the table
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[Person] Script Date: 04/07/2008 14:42:01 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Person](
[Id] [int] NULL,
[FirstName] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[LastName] [nvarchar](50) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
EXEC sys.sp_addextendedproperty @name=N'MS_Caption', @value=N'First Name' , @level0type=N'SCHEMA',@level0name=N'dbo', @level1type=N'TABLE',@level1name=N'Person', @level2type=N'COLUMN',@level2name=N'FirstName'
GO
EXEC sys.sp_addextendedproperty @name=N'MS_Caption', @value=N'Last Name' , @level0type=N'SCHEMA',@level0name=N'dbo', @level1type=N'TABLE',@level1name=N'Person', @level2type=N'COLUMN',@level2name=N'LastName'
I created this view
/****** Object: View [dbo].[View_1] Script Date: 04/07/2008 14:50:32 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON

through MS SQL Server Management Studio I have a database defined as:
dbname
- Tables
- dbo.xyz
-Columns
Field definition_a
Field definition_b
Field definition_c
...
For each "Field definition" I can define "extended properties"
So the question is, from a stored procedure in C#, how can I read through the "Field definitions"
looking for an extended property of a specific integer value?

I have a date column that has 1/1/1900 entries and I want to write a formula..(i think)...in the column formula section that when this date is encountered, the column should show NULL. I don't know the syntax to use in the formula section of the column properties. Can anyone give some syntax examples.

I'm building a custom component and UI and am a bit confused on where I
need to create and/or set custom column
properties?
My UI will have a datagrid with three
columns: 1) a check box to select a column for use by the component, 2)
the input column name, and 3) a "differentiator" checkbox that indicates
an extra property about some of the columns that have the first column
checkbox checked (For example, my component may be using five input columns, but
three of those need to be used in a slightly different
way.)
The problem is, I don't understand when or
where I'm supposed to create the custom property for the input
column. SetUsageType is where I've been thinking, but I don't
know if I'm supposed to be creating it for an input column or a virtual
input column. I'd appreciate any guidance.

I am converting the contents of 64 lookup tables from individual tables (each called lookup_xxxxx) into a single LookupReference table. The individual lookup tables are my OLE DB Source objects. I want to derive the variable part of the lookup_xxxxx table name from the OLE DB Source 'OpenRowset' property as a variable and make it into a derived column (which will be the lookup Type column in the output table). For example, extract "SpeciesType" from the input source called 'lookup_SpeciesType' and put it into the derived column.
I cannot find a System variable that refers to the input data source. Does anyone know how I can do this?
Any help much appreciated. Thanks

Hey all-
I put togehter a package that opens a flat file, parses the data based on the semi-colon delimeter, and imports the rows into a database table. Thats the fun easy part.
What I cant figure out is how to add a variable that will hold a constant ID value that will be persisted with the same value to all rows inserted to the DB. Making the problem harder, I would like that this value be defined in a properties file or database table of some sort so that I can do a lookup based on the file name / location to find out what value should be used.
Any suggestions? I hope my explanation makes at least some sense - but basically I want to do a look up in a configuration of some sort, pull out a single value, and add it to a data import.
let the fun begin!!

I have an ODBC connection string that is working fine with the following properties:
Database="XXXXXXX",Network="YYYYYY"; strangely no server is specified in the string, but it is specified in the ODBC Connection file.
I am trying to do a new server registration in SSMS for this database.However, I don't understand where the network spec is placed.
Under Registered server name I've tried:
YYYYYYXXXXX
When I browse the server for the database instance list, I receive "network path was not found".
I even tried:"XXXXXXX",Network="YYYYYY" for the registered server name.Same error message.
What am I doing wrong ?

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?

Query #1:select <list of fields>from Cjoin B on C.b_key = B.b_keyjoin A on B.a_key = A.a_keywhere A.o_key = <some value>Query #2:select <list of fields>from Cwhere b_key in (select b_keyfrom Bwhere a_key in (select a_keyfrom Awhere o_key = <some value>))#1 (and other things with the same general pattern) are used inliterally thousands of places in this one client's system, and ismuch nicer to write, but seems to be rather slower than #2. Isthere any way to tweak the tables to tell the system somethinglike "hey, B, whenever you're joined to A, you should seriouslyconsider waiting for A to be filtered down to a manageable levelfirst"? And similarly for C/B.MS SQL 2000, SP3, 6.5 compat mode. These are set in stone untilwe upgrade the accounting software (highly non-trivial).

Hi all,
I need to use a multi-table dataset as a datasource for my report items in a SRS2005 report.
But from designer, I can only see the first table.
Can any one tell me if it is possible to use multiple tables in a dataset for SRS report?
Thanks,

Hi,
I have a MS SQL Server Express database wich I upsized once from MS
Access. I can connect to it and get/insert data but I can't update the
field properties.
I've used Access 2003, Visual Studio .Net and SQL Server Web Data
Administrator, but I can't change the properties of existing tables. I
cán add new tables and add their properties afterwards. Since I have a
lot of tables it would be too much work too recreate them all. So how
can I edit my existing tables?

I have looked on google and haven't found a query (as of yet) to perform this function.
Essentially I am using VB.NET with Excel and have a mapping between a worksheet and a table in my database. I wrote an import function to pull the data out of excel and put it into SQL Server but I want to try catching errors before i do that.
What is the SQL query to get column sizes from a table. Meaning in a table I have column1 that is allowed a size of int(5). How do i retrieve that information from a query opposed to just looking at it in SQL Server EM??
any help would be appreciated
thanks

Here's a table function that returns a table variable containing various file properties (creation date, size, etc.). The one limitation to remember is that it won't work with files on mapped drives; you have to use the full \<Server><Share><Folder1..Folder n><Filename> syntax. Still, it's a pretty useful thing to have around. :)

I'm wondering if there is some sql I can run to check properties on a table. This would be used to verify things like data types, allow nulls and default values have been set to avoid mistakes. This could be done manually one table and one column at a time, but it would be a lot easier to look at it in the results window.

Lets say I have 3 Columns

It is exporting it is doing
Column Width 50 (with value) |tab| Column Width 50 (with value) |tab| Column Width 50 (with value) |tab|
I was hoping for
Actual Value Length |tab| Actual Value Length |tab| Actual Value Length |tab|

Hi,
I got a table with a column datatype BIT.
I export it into RAW file destination.
When I try to import into another server the column is like DT_I4...
Error 26 Validation error. Attributi: SQL Server Destination [2646]: The column "conIntervallo" can't be inserted because the conversion between types DT_I4 and DT_BOOL is not supported. IMP_Sito_Raw.dtsx 0 0
OK, this message is clean but why appends?
Two table are same in all column...seems my PKG cast the column like an DT_I4?
There is some action for correct this error on import, without put on the plane an data conversion task?
I do from RAW to RAW for better performance....
Thanks Alen, Italy
