Hi
I have been working since 2 days to device a method to export sql table
into csv format. I have tried using bcp with format option to keep the
column names but I'm unable to transfer the file with column names. and
also I'm having problems on columns having decimal data.
Can any one suggest me how to automate data transfer(by using SP) and
retaining column names.
Thanks

I'm trying to write an SSIS package that exports a table that has changing column names to an excel file. The column names change due to the fact that the table is created by a pivot daily. the only thing I'm missing is the ability to dynamically map the tables' columns to the excel destination. Is this possible?
I read in another thread that
"It is not possible to create packages or new objects within packages using SSIS."
I also read in the books online that "The input and the input columns of the Excel destination have no custom
properties." To me this means that I cannot programmatically create or remove columns in the excel destination. Please tell me I'm wrong.
So, to summarize my research so far. In writing an SSIS package, I cannot programmatically create a new excel destination object and I can't manipulate an existing one. I hope I'm wrong. Can anyone help me? (and please correct any wrong assumptions I may have stated)
Dear Friends,
I want to retain the formulae defined in the Reporting Services to be retained when I export the report to Excel. I want to know the best possible way to achieve the same.
Scenario:
I have a report which has 4 Columns.Column 1 and Column 2 are fetched from Database. Column 3 is empty and Column 4 (Formulae defined using expressions) is computed with the formulae using the previous 3 Columns.
My requirement is that upon rendering of the report, I'll download the report to excel and the end user enters some values in the column 3 and based on the value entered, Column 4 Formula has to be computed. But when I download the Report to Excel, my Formulae expression is not retained.
Kindly let us know if there is any other means of doing this in reporting services itself. Else please suggest an appropriate alternative, either through third party or in any other way.
Thanks in Advance,
S Suresh
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.
hi
i wanted to export a table with all the results in it into a csv file...
is there any script that i can use to achieve this?
Hi
I am trying to export an table data to csv format. The problem here is the table columns are dynamic. The DTS exports only the columns available during the DTS design time and it ignores if any new columns are added after the design. I need solution for this asap.
Thanks

any one please suggest me how to find table names too......
In other words i know the particular column name and right now i want to know the table names in which this column name exists.
Hi All,
I was wondering how would I get the column names from a table? Not the results just a listing of column names. What is the command to get this information? I am using MS Access, but I posted here because MS SQL is the closest thing on this forum and the syntax is usually similar.
Thanks a bunch.

All, is there a way of getting all table names that contain a columnname?I'm looking at a DB that has 125+ tables and I'm interested in findingall table names that contain the column order_date.How can I do it?TIA,Sashi

Say I have two tables: Store, and Area that have the following columns:
Area:
AreaID, AreaName, Description
Store:
StoreID, AreaID, StoreName, Description
When I run the following query :
SELECT * FROM Area, Store WHERE Area.AreaID = Store.AreaID, the following columns come back from the .NET SQLDataReader
AreaID, AreaName, Description, StoreID, AreaID, StoreName, Description
Even though the Description fields are different there is no differentiation between which one is which (other than an integer index)
Is there a way to form the SQL query so the columns come back
Area.AreaID, Area.AreaName, Area.Description etc...
I was hoping to do something like the following
Select Area.* as 'Area.'.* ...
but that wasn't liked by the SQL server, any ideas?
Note: The actual tables are more complex than this, and the table names aren't static. Individually aliasing columns won't work, nor will checking the alias.

I would like to list all the column names against each record of the table and and would like to keep track whether the column is empty or nonempty. How can I write SQL query for this?
I am using the following to extract the column names of a table. I would like to do this for the whole database. Currently I am cutting the results into an excel spread. Is there a better way of doing this? Here is the query
SELECT name

I am trying to find the Table and column names from the below.
Is there a way i can get table name and column name from query_plan column?

I know it is basics, just slipped out of my mind, How do we list or print the columns names of table in sql server 2000.
thanks,
A column of a table has values in the format - 35106;#Grandbouche-Cropp, Amy.
I need to format the column data in such a way that only the text after # (Grandbouche-Cropp, Amy) remain in the column.
The text before ;# (35106) should be inserted in to another column of the same table.
Below is the table structure:
create table [HR_DEV_DM].[CFQ_TEST].sp_CFQ_Commercial_Referrals
(
ID int identity,
PromotionalCode nvarchar(4000),
QuoteNumber nvarchar(100),
CreatedBy nvarchar(100),
Created datetime,
ModifiedBy nvarchar(100),
Modified datetime,
CreatedBy_SalesRepSharePointID int,
ModifiedBy_ModBySharePointID int
)

Hi all,
I'm new to this whole trigger 'thing', so forgive me if this question has been asked and answered a few times already.
I'm in the process of writing a trigger that will send an e-mail to an application admin when any table within a given database is altered (IE, a column is added or deleted). I can get the e-mail to fire off when that happens without any issue, but I'd like to be able to let the admin know which table was tweaked and what new column was added.
Is this a relatively easy thing to do and I'm just not finding the right built-in variable name, or does something more need to be done?
Thanks,
-Mike
I would like to use variables to set the table name and some column names of a SQL Query in a stored procedure (the variable values will come from a webpage)... something like this:ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.usp_SelectWorkHours
@DayName varchar,@DayIDName varchar
AS
BEGINSELECT @DayName.InTime1, @DayName.OutTime1, @DayName.InTime2, @DayName.OutTime2 FROM @DayName
INNER JOINWorkHours ON @DayName.@DayIDName = @DayName.@DayIDName
INNER JOINEmployees ON WorkHours.WorkHoursID = Employees.WorkHoursID
END
RETURN
...is this possible?? if so how?
Thanks
Hi,
I have a SP which returns a select query on a temp table so I get to choose column names
when I create the #table.
Can I determine column names myself based on the results of another query (in the SP)
before, or (preferably) after I create the #table and populate it.
My query is used to bind to a datagrid so I could use....
dataGrid.Columns[index].HeaderText and set it to a particular output parameter, but I want
to keep the code in the SQL.
Cheers
Is there a SELECT statement that will return a the column names of a given table?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi all,A (possibly dumb) question, but I've had no luck finding a definitiveanswer to it. Suppose I have two tables, Employees and Employers, whichboth have a column named "Id":Employees-Id-FirstName-LastName-SSNetc.Employers-Id-Name-Addressetc.and now I perform the following join:SELECT Employees.*, Employers.*FROM Employees LEFT JOIN Employers ON (Employees.Id=Employers.Id)The result-set will contain two "Id" columns, so SQL Server willdisambiguate them; one column will still be called "Id", while theother will be called "Id1." My question is, how are you supposed toknow which "Id" column belongs to which table? My intuition tells me,and limited testing seems to indicate, that it depends on the order inwhich the table names show up in the query, so that in the aboveexample, "Id" would refer to Employees.Id, while "Id1" would refer toEmployers.Id. Is this order guaranteed?Also, why does SQL Server use such a IMO brain-damaged technique tohandle column name conflicts? In MS Access, it's much morestraightforward; after executing the above query, you can use"Employees.Id" and "Employers.Id" (and more generally,"TableNameOrTableAlias.ColumnName") to refer to the specific "Id"column you want, instead of "Id" and "Id1" -- the"just-tack-on-a-number" strategy is slightly annoying when dealing withcomplex queries.--Mike S

I got a table which gets populated by stor proc where we pivot the Sum(Balance of mortgage) by YYYYMM for the whole duration of the loan term.
I have a requirement to rename the column header where the previous month end balance period be renamed to P0.
if we run the report today, then the balance as at 31/09 should show under column P0 which now shows under 201509 and then P0 keeps shifting with each month run.
How do I dynamically rename the column headers.
My query returns fields that have spaces in the names, for example:
select o.OrderID as 'INVOICE NUMBER', etc..
When I created the DataSet for this query in report designer, it changed all spaces in the field names to underscores, i.e. INVOICE_NUMBER.
This report must be exported to CSV, and the names of the fields (first row in csv) must have the spaces, not underscores. But it appears RS uses the field names (not the names in the column headers of the report table control) as the field names. Is there any way for me to force the field names in the first row of the csv to something other than the field names in the DataSet?
Thanks!

This is fine but only problem is worksheets are not named( in this case name of item group). Has anyone got an idea how to populate worksheet names fro reporting services?
