Fields In My Tables Are Disappearing!
Feb 24, 2006
I am using a hosted MSSQL 2000 database that powers the backend of my
website. Website visitors interact with it via ASP pages I have
developed. I also have an internal FileMaker 7 database that
periodically synchs with it via Filemaker's ODBC functionality.
Several times now, I have come in one day to discover that my ASP pages
don't work. When I look into it, one of my MSSQL tables will be missing
a few fields. There is nothing in any of my code that sends an ALTER
TABLE command or any other command that affects table structure. These
deletions of fields is totally random.
The most recent example was with a table called FreeTeacherSubs. I just
discovered today that three fields went missing:
HowDidYouHearAboutYES TEXT
FollowUpCallOrEmail TEXT
HowMaterialsFit TEXT
Suffice to say I am baffled! Has anyone ever experienced fields
disappearing from their tables?

As a CRM person, I sometimes have to update the database to cope with custom reports that I have written. Usually, I will
Go into SQL Server Management Studio 2008Open the database
Locate either the table or the view
Right click on permissions.
Add in the role or user that's needed
Grant them Select permissions
This allows the report in CRM to access the database and this works.
The problem I have is that after a certain amount of time, the user or role will disappear from the permissions meaning that the report will not run. Sometimes, this can be as soon as a couple of days or it can be months. It happens on views more than tables and, whilst it's not too difficult to put the permissions back, it is annoying for the users.
I don't use SQL Server Management Studio very regularly, only to write a few queries and set up these permissions so I'm not sure if there's anything else in there that might be doing this.

How can I create a Table whose one field will be 'tableid INT IDENTITY(1,1)' and other fields will be the fields from the table "ashu".
can this be possible in SQL Server without explicitly writing the"ashu" table's fields name.

Hi all,
I'm not sure how easy of a task this is, or how to go about it, so I thought I'd ask here. I am doing a major overhaul to my site and am re-programming the backend which involves re-formatting my tables, table names etc.
What I want to do is set up a new table in the format I want for the new site, but still be able to have the live data that is being submitted to the site now, be entered into the new table so that I don't have to shut down the site for days to transfer and reformat data. Example
CURRENT SITE
Table 1
Field1: Name
Field2: Address
NEW SITE
Table 1
Field1: Name
Field2: myAddress
Field3: City
I want to be able to somehow map the two together so that when data is entered into the Name field on the current site, that same name is also inserted into the new site table as well. Mapping like this:
(current site)Name -> (new site)Name
(current site)Address -> (new site)myAddress
The city field would be left unaffected as that data would only be entered once the new site is up and running.
I know I could do this from a stored procedure on the exiting site or by re-writting all of my SQL to insert into both tables, but right now all of the SQL is hardcoded into the pages and I have A LOT of pages. Is there a way to map the tables together from within SQL Server?
Cheers,
Jeff

Hi All,
I need to get the names of tables and fields (or atleast the fields) from a database. Is there a query I can use that will return what all the db's tables and those tables fields are?
Thanks

Hi,
I have a database with approx 95 tables. I would like to get a printout of each table, the fields contained therein and the field type
(i.e the information displayed when rightclicking a table in Enterprise Manager and selecting Properties).
I have tried to use the diagram function but due to the large number of tables the diagram is very complex and would have to be printed out on a huge sheet of paper to make it legible. I have also looked at the SP_HELP stored procedure but can't seem to get the syntax correct to display properties on all tables (info on one table is no problem).
Any ideas ?
Thanks,
Tim H

I am working with the article that MAK wrote on SecurityLogs http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3515886
I have completed this, but I have made some changes to the database (for normalization to 3NF purposes). I now have problems with a query.
I am trying to "Insert a new record in a table if it does not already exist in the table". To try to clarify I perform the following query:
INSERT INTO Tmp_Event
SELECT DISTINCT EventID, EventType, EventTypeName from Tmp
Which gives me the Tmp_Event table consisting of EventID's etc. (no duplicates). What I then want to do, is compare the 'Tmp_event' table and an already existing 'Event' table. These two tables are in fact identical. I would like to insert any records from 'Tmp_Event' into 'Event' if they do not already exist in 'Event'.
This query gives me all records that do not exist in 'Event'
SELECT EventID, EventType, EventTYpeName from Tmp_Event
WHERE EventID NOT IN (SELECT EventID from Event)
How can I change this query into performing an INSERT INTO Event as well?
Hope this makes sense :)

If possible, I would like to create a view using two different tables, but with the fields merged (ie. create one table from two tables). The table structures are pretty much the same. Can you do this from a singe SQL statement? Any ideas? My only alternative is creating a temp file that inserts records from both tables, but I want to avoid doing that.

Folks, i have to create four fields in every user table within my database:
CREATED_BY VARCHAR(25), CREATED_DATE [DATETIME], MODIFIED_BY VARCHAR(25), MODIFIED_DATE [DATETIME]
There are more than hundred tables, so i wanna automate this. i am tryin to do this in a cursor: please guide!
declare @name VARCHAR (50)
declare cur cursor
fast_forward
for select name from sysobjects where type='u' and status not like '-%'
open cur
WHILE (1=1)
BEGIN
FETCH NEXT
FROM cur
INTO @name
IF @@fetch_status = 0
BEGIN
ALTER TABLE @name
ADD created_by [VARCHAR] (25)
GO
ALTER TABLE @name
ADD created_by [VARCHAR] (25)
GO
ALTER TABLE @name
ADD created_date [DATETIME]
GO
ALTER TABLE @name
ADD modified_by [VARCHAR] (25)
GO
ALTER TABLE @name
ADD modified_date [DATETIME]
END

DEALLOCATE cur
I also want that if one column for a table exists; the other columns should be created rather than it quits.
Howdy!

For example, I have 2 tables that have very similar fields
Table 1 Table 2
ShipRpt ShipRpt
invoice invoice
total sold total sold
Is it possible to compare each of these fields and return any record that has non matching data? I would join the tables on the shipping report or invoice and only compare the total sold field. If the invoices match and the total sold is different in each table, can I just return the 1 record?

I feel sure that this is a very naive question, but it is freeky me out that I can solve it. With SQL server what is the easiest way to make a field other than the Primary key unique?Would appreciate help with this. ThanksPaul

Hi there,
I have a fairly generic question regarding database design.
I am working on my first database using SQL Express.
I am testing the database by inserting records into the pre defined tables.
Sometimes I forget to input text into a non null field. When
this happens it displays an error and then skips a few rows
which makes my row numbering messy. For example say I have
Row 1, Row 2 Row 3 all nicely formatted but on Row 4 I make a mistake
this row then disapears and their is gap between 3 and 5 where 4 was.
Although I am just testing, I was wondering what happens in a real
scenario if an inexperienced data input person makes a few mistakes it
makes the database numbering systems look bad. In this case
is it common to make most fields NULL to allow for admin errors??

As part of a project documentation I want to list out the fields of all the tables to say Excel to plug in a description of the field and other notes.
Is there a tool in EM that would facilitate? Or, is there a utility that would work or a SQL script? Any recommendations is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Question.I have a new table that I am adding to a script that I wrote. Thistable has 3 fields, the first 2 fields are used in the on statement asbeing = other fields in the script.The first field always has data in it, but the 2nd field is sometimesnull.So my problem is if both fields have data in them and they both matchto the data in the fields that I am linking them to, then it returnsthe 3rd field without a problem. However if the 2nd field is null thenit is returning a null for the 3rd field. I have checked and the fieldthat I am linking to is null also.So if I haveselect t1.field1, t1.field2, t2.field1, t2.field2, t2.field3from table1 t1join table2 t2on t1.field1=t2.field1 and t1.field2=t2.field2with 2 records in each tabletable1: record1: data, datarecord2: data, nulltable2: record1: data,data,datarecord2: data,null,datawhat I get from the script isrecord1: data, data,data,data,datarecord2: data,null,data,null,nullI would expectrecord2: data,null,data,null,dataI hope this makes sense, I didn't want to post the entire actual scriptas it is about 150 lines long.Thanks in advance.

I have four fields in two different tables.
ID, field1, field2 and field3 in Table 1 has value 1 or 0. Type integer.
ID, field1, field2 and field3 in table2 are text fields.
If field1 in table1 has value 1, then there should be a text value in corresponding field in table2. That is, in field1 in table2.
However, if there is value 0 in field1 in table1 there should not be any value in the corresponding field in table2.
Now it is not always so, which do that I want to make a track of which fields miss match in these two tables.
How do I list them on the smartest ways? ID links the tables.

I have a general SQL design-type question.
I want to log errors to a table. If the error is with a URL, I want to store the URL. These URLs can be very large, hundreds of characters, but I only need to store it if it causes the error, which should be very infrequent. Which is the better design:
Create a large varchar field in the log table to hold the URL, or null if the error wasn't with the URL.
Create a foreign key field in the log table to a second URL table, which has a unique ID and a large varchar, and only create a record in this table if the error is with the URL.
One concern I have with design 2 is that there could be many other fields that are infrequent. Do I create a separate table for every one?

Hello.
i have a database with 300 tables. All the data types of the fields of my tables are custom. Ex. IFGint:int and stuff like that.
I want to know how can i through a stored procedure, change in batch mode all the fields of my tables. I don't want to modify by hand everytable. It's a lot of work and i think that maybe there might be a way for this programatically.
thanks in advance

Hi My friends
I have develop big Database System in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and my DB System content more then 30 Table and also more then 150 Stored procedure and from that stored procedures I have call my the tables
But the problem when I change the name of any table, SQL Server don’t prompt my about the stored procedure that use that table .. so I cant remember witch Stored procedure use that table
By example if I am in programming language like C# or VB.NET when I try to change any name of any class the compiles catch all the error that coming from changing the name of the class and simply I will fix the problem because the compiler help me and list all the object content the error
But in SQL Server how can I search for stored procedure that use un existing table like compiler in any programming language ??
Or is there any why to solve my problem ??
And the above problem also there when I change the filed name
And thanks with my best regards
Fraas

Table Librarians: field ID, field Surname;
Table StudentCard: field ID, foreign key on table Librarians and other fields, which we don't use
Table TeacherCard: field ID, foreign key on table Librarians and other fields, which we don't use
Query: Select the librarian's surname, which gave the most count of books.
I know, how to resolve, when i took datas only from one table, e. g. TeacherCard
SELECT TOP 1 WITH TIES Librarians.LastName, MAX(Librarians.CountOfBooks) AS Books FROM
(SELECT L.LastName, COUNT(*) AS CountOfBooks FROM Libs L, T_Cards T
WHERE T.Id_Lib IN (SELECT L.Id)
GROUP BY L.LastName) AS Librarians
GROUP BY Librarians.LastName
ORDER BY MAX(Librarians.CountOfBooks) DESC
GO
I dont know, how to use datas from TeacherCard and from StudetnCard at the same time.

Hi All
I hope someone smart can help me, it would be highly appriciated.
I am developing an SQL Serverdatabase and in on of the tables I need the primary key to consist of two pieces of data.
TblOrders: OrderNum, Orderdate, ....
TblDispatchers: DispatcerID, Dispatcher, DispatcherAddress
The OrderNum field in TblOrders need to be a composite of an AutoNum-field (incrementet by 1) and the DispatcerID from the tblDispatchers.
Can this be done, and how.
Many thanks
Kind regards

Consider a situation. There is a table of submitted 'documents'. They have some attributes. There are assignments to process the things, which have a date they were created. Finally there is a price list which specifies the price according to document features and date, so that the assignment to process a document created at different time will have a different cost. In other words, there is a relation
(assignment->document.attribute(s) + assignment.date) -> pricelist.price
Creating relations has the integrity advantages: it is not possible to create an assignment, which price is not defined in the pricelist; precludes the pricelist entry removal if it is referred by any assignments.
Should a view, which combines all the foreign fields into one virtual table, be created to make establishing the reference possible?

Help -
I need to import data into an existing table. Most import rows were unique, so I had no problem using DTS and appending. However, some import rows match existing rows except for one column/field that contains updated/new data, and I have to either replace the entire row with the imported row, or replace the individual field with the new data. How do I do that when there are many rows to import? It would take forever typing in all the data using UPDATE. Thanks in advance for your help!
