Hi Guys,
I just need a script to get all Job Id and Job Descriptions from Sql Server Agent/Jobs and then save it into a text file. I'm not sure how to accomplish this using Sql Server Management Objects(SMO). Any sample scripts and/or stored procedures, etc. would be appreciated.
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
I was wonder what the arguments were for using one over the other:
DECLARE @JobID BINARY(16)
vs
DECLARE @JobID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER
Both get used the same:
EXECUTE @ReturnCode = msdb.dbo.sp_add_job
@job_id = @JobID OUTPUT, ...
I have seen these both on sample TSQL code, along with it not even being declared and just being used as shown here.
Thanks,
JJ
$(ESCAPE_NONE(JOBID))
Here is the skinny. You can use this in a script from what I have done so far. If someone gives it a try in a stored procedure let me know. From what I have seen you can pass the token as uniqueidentifier. The problem is when you try to use it in a query you need to use Convert(char255, JOBID).
Here is a simple example:
declare @JobID uniqueidentifier
declare @result varchar(1000)
SELECT @JobID = $(ESCAPE_NONE(JOBID));
PRINT 'Hi there ' + Convert(char(255), @JobID)
I searched all over the place and nowhere did I find something like the above. It seems simple but you can do a select in a table like sysjobhistory without converting the jobid first. Let me know if this helps anyone.
Thanks
How do you give a column a description in SQL.
I have a project where the table will created with SQL using the legacy database systems 6 byte field names.
the old system (DB2/400) has field(column) descriptions that I would like to move over but how?
I know I could create a view over the table and use the more descriptive field names.. but I would like for them to be in the same table..
like
emhrdt - column name (for reference to the legacy systems source code)
Employee Hire Date - column descriptions (so programmers for the new system know what it means).
Is there a way to get a list column names and their descriptions?

I am wracking my brain, trying to figure out how to return & display a column's description.
I work in Cold Fusion with SQL 2000 database.
My table name is "clients" and the column in question is "client_firstname"
The description of this column, as entered in Ent. Mgr, is "First Name"
If anyone can please help me, it would be very greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Now for the details...
I am trying this:
----------------------------------------------------------------
<cfquery name="get_ext2" datasource="#application.dsn#">
SELECT
objname As 'Column'
, value As 'Description'
FROM
::fn_listextendedproperty
('MS_Description', 'user', 'dbo', 'table','client', 'client_firstname', default)
</cfquery>
<cfoutput>
"#get_ext2.Column#"
"#get_ext2.Description#"
</cfoutput>
----------------------------------------------------------------
... and it is returning this:
"" ""
In my debug output, the query result appears as such:
----------------------------------------------------------------
get_ext2 (Records=0, Time=16ms)
SQL =
SELECT
objname As 'Column'
, value As 'Description'
FROM
::fn_listextendedproperty
('MS_Description', 'user', 'dbo', 'table','client', 'client_firstname', default)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Haaalp!

I am trying to export a table from SQL Server 2000 with the following columns:
TableName (the name of a table in the database)
FieldName (the name of a field in the table)
FieldDescription (the Description of the field)
The field descriptions are accessed in Enterprise Manager by right-clicking on a table and choosing Design Table, on the Columns tab - "Description".
Can this be done?
thanks
I want to select multiple records based on descriptions that are the same. Descriptions is my column and I really want to find duplicate records based on the description column.

Is there an easy way to add descriptions or comments to database objects? So, for instance, I might have a table that a number of analysts are using, and I'd like an easy way to save comments or descriptive data about each of the columns in the table. That way, all consumers of the DB can easily look up the meaning of each column, table, stored procedure, etc. I could maintain all of this information in a system separate from my RDBMS, but I'm wondering if there are existing ways to do this already built into SQL Server. I've seen something similar to this built into Oracle systems.
Thanks!
I have a stored proc I am running, and I would like to create a list of email addresses from a table and put that list into a variable. I did a basic while loop to work on syntax, but now I don't know how to actually get each address added on. Here's how I started it
declare @start int, @testEmail nvarchar(2000)
set @start = 1
set @testEmail = NULL
while @start <= (Select count(PADM_Email) from PADM_Emails)
Begin
--Print @start
set @testEmail = @testEmail + (Select distinct PADM_Email from PADM_Emails) + ';'
set @start = @start + 1
End
I know that the above is wrong, but I don't know how to get it right. Ideally, I want the @testEmail to look like this:
emailaddress1;emailaddress2;emailaddress3;
SELECT FriendName from Friends where RegionId = 23
I would like to create a comma delimited list of 'FriendName' column values in above query (example - Mike,John,Lisa,Emburey).
How would I do that?
I need to be able to set up a table listing users permissions, this needs to be run daily and then notify me of any changes without using the auditing or profiler software.
Any ideas?? :eek: :eek: :confused:
My SQL knowledge is limited to only trial-and-error and on-the-fly learning, sadly. However, I've had past experience with VB and some earlier, more basic programming, so I don't find it that difficult to grasp; it's just rather overwhelming without any formalized training.
I'm trying now to solve a problem that involves a sales history report. Our sales history table lists only records for product lines which a customer has purchased in the past. However, the budgeting team needs a list of each customer with all product lines, even if they've never purchased, and they'd like to include an industry code value that is from another table.
So the way the tables are looking is this:
Sales_History as the main table with the appropriate data in it
Product_Lines as a reference to fill out the main table with non-purchased lines
Accounts as another reference that gives the industry code per the customer ID in the main table''I'm seemingly on the right track with the following, which tries to create a list of all product lines and the records from sales_history which match them:
SELECT sales_history.sah_sort_id,sales_history.sah_sortkey3,sales_history.sah_sortkey2_desc,
prod_lines.pl_prodline_id,prod_lines.pl_short_desc
FROM dbo.sales_history
INNER JOIN prod_lines ON sales_history.sah_sortkey3=prod_lines.pl_prodline_id
[code]...
However, this produces a list of only 21 rows, when there should be 41.
Scenario:Table 1 (a id, b name)Table 2 (a FKid, d value)A standard join on a gives me something like:a1 b1 d1a1 b1 d2What I want is:a1 b1 d1,d2I can easily do this with a function or cursor, but is is somewhatslow, and I need to do this a lot and I don't really want to have tomaintain tons of functions or cursors.Thoughts?

Hi there,
I am trying to create a list of all the tables in one database and then list the size of each table. So for example I want to create a table with the table name and table size for one DB
E.g
Table1 1111KB
Table2 123300MB
Table3 120448KB
etc for all the tables in a particukar DB
I know there is a stored procedure to list the sizes: 'sp_spaceused' but not sure how to script all this together.
can anyone help please!!

I am struggling trying to clean some data and identify duplicate records. I used fuzzy grouping in SSIS and provided back a series of groups. The issue is some of the individual records can appear in multiple groups (so in reality the groups should be combined). This is best explained with an example:
Original Data
key1 key2
647942600014
647942285437
2324662490640
2324662285437
2324662066128
2222 2285437
2222 1111111
9999 1111111
9999 2222222
Should look like:
22222600014
22222285437
22222490640
22222066128
22221111111
22222222222
I only choose 2222 as the surviving key because it was the smallest number. I really do not care which number remains as long as it is the same across.
I tried playing with self joins between the tables but have had no success.
I am using Sql Server 2008 and the number of records could 500K to 1MM.
Hi,I'm sure this is a common problem.. to create a single field from awhole column, where each row would be separated by a comma.I can do this for a specified table, and column.. and I've created afunction using VBA to achieve a more dynamic (and very slow) solution..so I would like to implement it using a user defined function in sql server.The problems I'm facing are, that I can't use dynamic sql in afunction.. and I also can't use temporary tables which could build up a'standard' table from parameters given to then perform the function on.So, with these limitations, what other options do I have?Cheers,Chris

I need to create a date dimension where the lowest level is month. I've seen examples which use the list function such as
Source = List.Dates(#date(2000, 1, 1), Duration.Days(DateTime.Date(DateTime.FixedLocalNow())-#date(2000,1,1)), #duration(1,0,0,0)),
The above increments by 1 day which is defined in the 1st argument of the #duration. My question is how can I dynamically change the value of this 1st argument such that its the number of days in the current month hence it will increment to only return the 1st date in the Month e.g
1/1/2000
1/2/2000
1/3/2000
etc..
I prefer to use an elegant approach if possible, the alternative would be return all dates, create a custom column from these dates which returns the month date - delete the dates column - get a distinct list of the month dates.
Table1 contains a CODES column which may store multiple codes separated by commas.
The descriptions for these codes are stored individually in a column in in Table2.
I would like to return the descriptions from Table2 in the same format as the codes from Table1.
Table1 Stores multiple codes per ID in a single column.
ID CODES
-- --------------
01 Code1,Code2,Code3
Table2 Stores the definitions for the codes in Table1
CODE DESCRIPTION
----- ---------------
Code1 Description1
Code2 Description2
Code3 Description3
The tables are what the tables are. Here is what I am trying to accomplish:
ID CODES DESCRIPTIONS
-- ----------------- --------------------------------------
01 Code1,etc Description1,Description2,Description3
I've found two different queries which return each code and associated description by ID in separate rows. Perhaps the next step is to aggregate from this?

I'm working to improve performance on a database I've inherited, and there are several thousand indexes. I've got a list of ones which should definitely exist within the database, and I'm looking to strip out all the others and start fresh, though this list is still quite large (1000 or so).
Is there a way I can remove all the indexes that are not in my list without too much trouble? I.e. without having to manually go through them all individually. The list is currently in a csv file.
I'm looking to either automate the removal of indexes not in the list, or possibly to generate the Create statements for the indexes on the list and simply remove all indexes and then run these statements.
As an aside, when trying to list all indexes in the database, I've found various scripts to do this, but found they all seem to produce differing results. What is the best script to list all indexes?
So at the moment, I don't have a function by the name CONCATENATE. What I like to do is to list all those different values that go with a single CASE_ID to appear as a a comma separate list. You might have a better way of doing without even writing a function
So the output would look like :
CASE_ID VARIABLE
=====================
1 [ABC],[HDR],[GHHHHH]
2 [ABCSS],[CCHDR],[XXGHHVVVHHH],[KKKJU],[KLK]
SELECT
preop.Case_ID,
dbo.Concatenate( '[' + CAST(preop.value_text AS VARCHAR) + ']' ) as variable
FROM
dbo.TBL_Preop preop
WHERE
preop.Deleted_CD = 0
GROUP BY
preop.Case_ID
I know I can do a JOIN(parameter, "some seperator") and it will build me a list/string of all the values in the multiselect parameter.
However, I want to do the same thing with all the occurances of a field in my result set (each row being an occurance).
For example say I have a form that is being printed which will pull in all the medications a patient is currently listed as having perscriptions for. I want to return all those values (say 8) and display them on a single line (or wrap onto additional lines as needed).
Something like:
List of current perscriptions: Allegra, Allegra-D, Clariton, Nasalcort, Sudafed, Zantac
How can I accomplish this?
I was playing with the list box, but that only lets me repeat on a new line, I couldn't find any way to get it to repeate side by side (repeat left to right instead of top to bottom). I played with the orientation options, but that really just lets me adjust how multiple columns are displayed as best I can tell.
Could a custom function of some sort be written to take all the values and spit them out one by one into a comma seperated string?

Ok, I want to write a stored procedure / query that says the following:
Code:
If any of the items in list 'A' also appear in list 'B' --return false
If none of the items in list 'A' appear in list 'B' --return true
In pseudo-SQL, I want to write a clause like this
Code:
IF
(SELECT values FROM tableA) IN(SELECT values FROM tableB)
Return False
ELSE
Return True
Unfortunately, it seems I can't do that unless my subquery before the 'IN' statement returns only one value. Needless to say, it returns a number of values.
I may have to achieve this with some kind of logical loop but I don't know how to do that.
Can anyone help?
