I am new to using sqlserver and have been given the task to get the column
name, data type and the description from a given table and put this into
another table. Can this be done?
Thanks in advance.

I want to make a query, stored procedure, or whatever which will only display the primary key where there does no exist a foreign key in linked table.For example. If I had two tables with a one to many relationship.A [Computer] has one or more [Hard Drives]. I want to select only those computers which do not have a Hard Drive(s) associated with them. That is, show all computers where the Computer_ID field in the [Hard Drives] table does not exist. This seems simple but I'm drawing a blank here.

In my Sql Sever i have added one Database "Devtools", by restoring it from .bak file. Now In my asp page I want to Display a Datagrid with data from a table "Devices". I want to Generate the Gridview dynamically. The columns in the table are dynamic they are not constant so I want to generate my Gridview dynamically. So I want to get the columns info of the table and based on that I want to dynamically add the columns to the table. So how to get the info of the table first. Is there any query where i can get the table info
Hello:
I have an app that needs to retrieve the list of tables in an SQL database. I see that there is a way to do this with the OLEdb provider (GetOleDbSchemaTable() ), but I can't find a sibling method in SQL. IS there one/ Any Ideas?

In oracle there is a describe command:
describe table_name
This command will tell you the columns names, datatypes, and length of the columns for that particular table. Does anyone know if there is a simliar command in SQL server that would do that? The only way that I have found so far is to do a join of the syscolumns with sysobject by table name.
Okay, I'll admit it: I am not a Guru. Far from it. So here is one of the zillion tasks I cannot do - unfortunately it is one that I need to have done... :
I need a recordset containing the Name, Datatype, Size, Precision, and Name_of_parent_table of all columns in all non-system tables in a given database.
Most likely this can be accomplished with one or two SPs, but which ones? And how?
Is there any Kind Soul out there, perhaps?

i need help printing only certain rows from within a table.. for instance, if my table looks like this :
+-------------------+----------------+----------------------+
| Description | Heading | Link |
+-------------------+----------------+----------------------+
| Google | Heading 4 | www.google.com |
| Toms Hardware | Heading 3 | www.tomshardware.com |
| Anandtech | Heading 2 | www.anandtech.com |
| check this out | Heading 1 | www.henryadams.com |
| another heading 4 | Heading 4 | www.heading4.com |
| test | Heading 3 | www.test3.com |
| heading 4 agagin | Heading 4 | laksjdf;alkf |
| new heading test | newHeadingTest | www.newheadingtest |
+-------------------+----------------+----------------------+
and i want to only print out the results for "Heading 4" under the "Heading" column, and only have the results print out once, using php.. how would i do this?
The Headings are inputed by the user through a web interface i created where the user may either select an exisiting heading or type in a completely new one that has nothing to do with any of the others.
thanks for any and all of your help..
Hi,
Is it possible to retrieve column information alone in the sp_columns command? I saw that it has an additional option "@column_name". But when I include it in my sql, it doesn't work the way I had expected it to..
I had tried sp_columns @table_name='mytable', @column_name='COLUMN_NAME'
I expect just the column names alone in the resultset. What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks and Regards,
Celia.
Hi,
I have two tables - a stock table and a transaction table. The stock table is called stock and the transaction table is called trans. The table make a point of sale database. Both table have a joining field called prod_no.
I want to extract the stock line by querying stock.prod_no that are not present in the trans table for a period of time specified.
Basically, I want to find dead stock lines that have not been sold and, therefore, are not in the transaction table but that have a stock figure. I have to enter in a start and end date paramater using the ddate field in the trans table. I have looked at left, right and outer joins but with no luck and don't even know if this is the correct query type to use.
any help would be much appreciated,
Hi
I have a problem I am trying to ascertain the quality of the data in the table of a system we are migrating from one database to another.
We have already taken the step of converting it into SQL server to make sense of it now I wnat to query the data itself
To do this I set up a query that went through sysobjects and syclumns and listed the tables and their columns
What I want to do now is use this information to query the data elements themselves to determine where we should concentrate our data mapping on.
I started out with a cursor doing this
declare @table varchar(50)
declare @col varchar(50)
declare @result int
declare count_cursor cursor scroll
for select tname,cname from infotemp
open count_cursor
fetch from count_cursor
into @table,@col
while @@fetch_status=0
BEGIN
exec ('select count('+@col+') from '+@table)
Fetch next from count_cursor into @table,@col
END
close count_cursor
deallocate count_cursor
But I am having problems getting the counted value into the result value from the exec statement
Anybody got any ideas
Thanks
I would like to know how to (if it is at all possible) in SQL (or even ADO) to retrieve all the data concerning database X's
a) Tables
b) Tables column names
c) Tables column's data types
I don't want to use the doa.tabledefs object.. .i would prefer to do it in SQL, but using ADO objects (since I am developing stuff in VB) would be ok too.
Please Help.. i have been going crazy trying to find anything useful.. email me back please!

Hi,
I need to provide a report that lists the databases in each instance, then the tablenames and the number of rows in each table.
Is there any easy way to do this in SQL 2005?

I remember once using a command in Query Analyser that gave me all theinformation about a table. It showed details about the columns,constraints, keys, indexes etc.I can't remember how I did this? Can anyone help me?It could of been a stored proc that I called or a query on the systemtables.I do know that it was very simple to do and it was executed in QueryAnalyser.Can anyone help me?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am working on moving information from one of our databases into a newer one the company has recently setup. I am working in MS SQL Server 2012 and am trying to Inset/Update (depending on the information) a part table. I will list the two tables I am working on as Old (where I am getting the information) and New (where it is to be inserted into).
The old table has about 250 columns of information, most of which is not needed. The needed information is as follows: Name, ID, Component1, Component1_PIN,Component1_SN, Component1_Description, Component2, Component2_PIN, Component2_SN. The component section repeats up to Component12.
The new table has columns setup as such: Name, ID, Case, CasePIN, CaseSN, Case_Desc, Processor, ProcessorPIN, ProcessorSN, Processor_Description, Memory, MemoryPIN, MemorySN, Memory_Description, etc.
The issue I am having is that in the old table each component can have Case, Processor, Memory, etc in that one column. I need to insert Case, Memory, etc into the correct column in the new table while keeping intact the rest of the information.
Example:
Old Table
Name | ID | Component1 | Component1_PIN | Component1_SN | Component1_Description | Component2 | Component2_PIN | Component2_SN | Component2_Description
Nest8 | 5682 | Case | 901834 | 237848117 | Black, rectangular | Memory | 9081234 | 5398798134 | NULL

I am not sure how to loop through and grab each part and place it in the column it needs to be while keeping it with the ID.
Hi all,
Im not really sure if this is a PHP or and SQL problem but here goes.
Im using MSSQL and have developed a webpage that enables users to run various PACKAGES manually, however I need to display if the package has been successfully run.
Is there a system table that logs package information or is there a PHP function that I can use.

Hi, I'm getting this error
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Could not retrieve replication information for table 735393739. Verify that the table has a primary key, and then rerun the Log Reader Agent.Please help me!
Is it possible to design a Cube with a Dimension "DimEmployee" (SCD Type2) and Query the following: What "title" had the person "xyz" at time "2015-01-01"? - See Example data on Images.
I have also a DimTime with Day granularity. The DimEmployee is not at day granularity.
In my database I want to archive some rows based on the time stamp. I read that horizontal partitioning will do that. This partitioning will insert the rows from the table into some other Database - Tablename. In retrivng those rows back I need to issue separate queries and UNION the result set. Is this way is correct or there any better ways to do this? If it is I have another question. If I add a new column to the table I partitioned, what will happen to the table that I stored in other Database. Is that going to add this new column too?
If possible please give me a sample code or queries to partition the database.
Thank you.
Hi,
These are my tables
auth:
id, level, base
info:
aid, name
store:
aid, itemID
aid is the ID that comes from the auth table.
The final output that I plan to get is
Name Number of Items
where name comes from the info table, and number of items comes from the store table.
Query something like:
show the total number of items for all those users (in the fashion Name, Number of items)from the store table, for all those whose level=something and base=something in the auth table.
For example,
if there are 10 users whom match level=something and base=something in the auth table,
What I want displayed is:
------------------------
Name Number of Items
------------------------
user1 10
user2 15
user3 20
....
user10 30
-----------------------
which if broken up is:
select name from info where aid=X
select count(*) from store where aid=X ..
for all those whose base=something and level=something from auth.
Thanks,

Hi all,
While cleaning up some code, I ran across the following statement in a stored proc - the purpose of which is to determine if a table exists in the local database: SELECT * FROM dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[XML_PRINTDATE]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1of course I removed it from the IF just for testing purposes, but my quandry is this...
Why chose that select (converting table name to object ID) rather than just doing THIS:SELECT * FROM dbo.sysobjects where name = N'XML_PRINTDATE' and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1
I first thought it was to gain access to the "id" column value (and that may yet be the purpose of it), but the second code seems to work just peachy (I assume because the id column is present in the sysobjects table itself).
A follow-on question is this:
When I try to do the same check from another server (i.e.SELECT * FROM APRECEIVE1.DailyProd.dbo.sysobjects where name = N'XML_PRINTDATE' and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1) it of course fails because OBJECTPROPERTY only looks for the id on the local database.
So, do I CARE if it is a user table? (I am reasonably sure it is, of course) and if so, is there a way to check on the remote server for the object type?
Bottom line is I Think I can just simplify things and check for the object name on the remote server, but just don't want to take away any "warm fuzzy feeling" generated by the original stored proc, if such a warm fuzzy is of any benefit (though don't get me started on the relativity of warm fuzzies, I wrote my Thesis on that ;) )
Hi everyone,
I have a big table which contains approx. 31,524,044 rows. The structure of the table look like this:
date ID A B C D
1/1/65 X Null Null Null Null
1/4/65 X 1 2 3 4
...
2/25/05 X 2 3 4 5
1/1/65 Y Null Null Null Null
1/4/65 Y Null Null Null Null
...
2/25/05 Y 2 3 4 5
...
The number of distinct(ID) is approx 3200 and each one has daily historical A, B, C, and D back for 40 years. For going forward I need to update daily information for 3200 ids. Currently, I am runing query against to this table is ok. I am thinking by the time pass by the table will be hudge since "stored historical information". It probably takes "long long long" time to run the query against this table. Any suggestion or comments... what is the best/better solution? Or it is not problem at all?
Thank you everyone for the help.

I am using MADC 2.8 to connect to Sql Sever 2000.
The Connection string uses a File DSN.
I get few records into a Record set using Select Command. Then I update one Col in the Recordset and Updates the database table. I open the recordset in
I am getting "Insufficient base table information for updating or refreshing" Error some times. This Code executes in a Multi user Environment.
I tried to recreate this error condition on my local system by Deleteing/Updating the Reocrds from the table and even locking the table.
I get this error "Row cannot be located for updating. Some values may have been changed since it was last read."
Are both of these errors connected? or is there any way i can get rid of this error
The Code is somethng like this
Set objRs = New ADODB.Recordset
objRs.CursorLocation = adUseClient
objRs.Open strSql, SQLCON, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
If (Not objRs.BOF) And (Not objRs.EOF) Then
objRs.Fields("FLAG") = 1
objRs.Update
VAR1 = objRs.Fields("0")
Else
MsgBox ("No Reocrds exist")
End If
Thanks in Advance for any help

I'm using Sql Server 2012 Enterprise and have a database with over 400 tables. I am looking at one diagram which contains about 20 (or so) tables and their relationships. When I right-click on a relationship line I only see information about which tables are connected on that line but not on which fields. Can I get that information from the Diagram or can I only get that from the sys tables?
