Hi All.
I'm an Oracle DBA who's currently being asked to look at a SqlServer Database. I need a list of columns per table, but am having trouble.
I'll admit I might be being lazy here, but I'm in a hurry and using the valueable resources available to me!! Would really appreciate the sql i need to copy into the query window. Much obliged!!
I need........
Table A
Column1 Datatype
Column2 Datatype
Table B
Column1 Datatype
Column2 Datatype
etc....
Many thanks.
The following returns all base tables within the database of type "varchar":
Code: SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME FROM mydb.information_schema.columns WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'master' AND TABLE_CATALOG = 'mydb' AND DATA_TYPE IN('varchar')" AND TABLE_NAME IN( SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM mydb.information_schema.tables WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE' AND TABLE_CATALOG = 'mydb' AND TABLE_SCHEMA = 'master')
What I then want to do is... For each of these results:
Code: select [COLUMN_NAME] from [TABLE_SCHEMA].[TABLE_NAME] WHERE ID = 'test'
Is it possible to do this in one SQL command? Or do I manually have to do it for each in the list from my first query?
Hey guys,Couldn't find this anywhere in google.I want a list of all database column names for a specific table/viewfrom across database.I tried this...-----------------------------------------------------Select *[color=blue]>From Information_Schema.Columns[/color]-----------------------------------------------------I also tried this...-----------------------------------------------------select syscolumns.name, sysobjects.name, * from syscolumns, sysobjectswheresysobjects.id = syscolumns.idand (sysobjects.xtype='U' or sysobjects.xtype='S')-----------------------------------------------------These queries return information about the CURRENT database.But, if I want to do it ACROSS database or across servers.. how can Ido this?I will express my gratitude to everyone who is kind enough to answerthis question.

Is there a way using MS SQL Server and Enterprise Manager to get a textdocument (or perhaps even a Word document) listing all table names,column names, etc of a database?--Sugapablo------------------------------------http://www.sugapablo.com <--musichttp://www.sugapablo.net <--personal

Hi, I know sys.tables and sys.columns gives me a list of tables andcolumns in a SQL 2005 database.How can I list Columns in a specific Table please?Thanks in advance,Ronny
According to BOL, columns in an ORDER BY clause do not have to be in the SELECTcolumn list unless the SELECT includes DISTINCT, or the UNION operator.Is this a SQL Server thing, or SQL standard behavior? That is, if I were to writeabsolutely pure SQL-92, must columns in the ORDER BY clause be present in the SELECTlist?
I would like to get a list of all the unused columns, I have tons of files and fields in the package probably in the hundreds and I need to know which fields I am not using to see which fields are important not to miss out, so is there any way I can get them in a text file or any other format?
Supposing there are three Columns: Countries, Provinces and States.Then when the user enters “USA” for country, it will bring up a list of states, if they enter “Canada” for country, it will bring up a list of provinces, if they enter another country, it will not bring up any list?
I am using a script component to transform data. In the script component I created a bunch of fields for the output. Is there any way to loop through that list of columns? Is there code I can use in the script component to access the names, data types, data etc?
I saw a lot of informaiton on the OutputColumnCollection as part of some IDTSOuput90 thing (greek to me). As best I can guess this is for creating your own new columns, but can I see what columns are already defined via the script interface?
i want to write a stored procedure where i pass column names a parameters and i want to get result based on that For ex:- if i pass the parameters as col3 and col5 where id =1 then i should the result as
id col3 col4 col5 1 3 4 5
and if i pass input as col2and col6 where id =3, the result should be id col2 col3 col4 col5 col6 3 4 8 2 6 9
I have 3 different companies that share the same ticket_types(CRMS System). I need to display the Ticket Types and the 3 company's Ticket Count:
Ticket Type | Company A Count | Company B Count | Company C Count
I can get the information individually for each company, but if a company doesn't have a ticket in one of the ticket_types, then it isn't displayed in a row. So, I tried to write the following, which isn't pulling back any data.
DECLARE @startdate date = '20150306' DECLARE @enddate date = '20151031' DECLARE @AcctGrp varchar(20) = '111' ;WITH TType AS ( SELECT ctp.description as TicketType
[Code] .....
If I run each SELECT individually from above (excluding the last SELECT), it works and I get the following:
TicketType AR Request Credit Availability/Rush Cancel Order Credit Card Payment Expedite Order Freight Quote
[Code] ...
How to get the query results? Am I even close to getting it right?
I am trying to convert all columns to rows in sql, but giving an error.
SELECT Employee, Orders FROM (SELECT CisId, [Z_Id], [ModuleType] FROM CIS) p UNPIVOT (Orders FOR Employee IN (CisId, [Z_Id], [ModuleType]) )AS unpvt;
Error: The type of column "Z_Id" conflicts with the type of other columns specified in the UNPIVOT list.If I remove "Z_Id" from selection then giving same error for ModuleType also.
Does any one know what command(s) I can use from a SQL prompt to tell me what tables are cruuently residing in a particular database. I'm looking for something along the lines of "select list_of_all_tables from tempdb", which can be applied to any valid db on the system.
Hi, I got a request from a devloper asking, how can he find out what tables his stored procedure his using, so he can remove unwanted SP which are using old tables in the database.
Usually it is better to include the columns in the index that are in where clause, select list and join.I am thinking that the columns in the selected list is better to keep as index columns and the columns that are in the where clause is better to keep in key columns.Where do we use join column is it better to create as main key column or included column.
I am trying to find a way to add into a table a flattened (comma seperated list) of email addresses based on the multiple columns of nformation in another table (joined by customer_full_name and postcode.
This is to highlight duplicate email addresses for people under the same customer_full_name and Postcode.
I have done this using a loop which loops through concatenating the email addresses but it takes 1minute to do 1000. The table is 19,000 so this isn't really acceptable. I have tried temp tables, table variables and none of this seems to make any difference. I think that it is becuase i am joining on text columns?
I frequently have the problem where I have a list of items to delete ina temp table, such asProjectId Description------------- ----------------1 test12 test43 test34 test2And I want to delete all those items from another table.. What is thebest way to do that? If I use two IN clauses it will do it where itmatches anything in both, not the exact combination of the two. I can'tdo joins in a delete clause like an update, so how is this typicallyhandled?The only way I can see so far to get around it is to concatenate thecolumns like CAST(ProjectId as varchar) + '-' + Description and do anIN clause on that which is pretty nasty.Any better way?
Hello Everyone and thanks for your help in advance. I am working on an application that connects to SQL Server. I need to find out if there is any way (I know there is, not sure how) to retrieve a list of tables within a database and also, a way to retrieve a list of databases within a server. I am using VB.Net in a web application. Any help on this owuld be greatly appreciated.
