Change Row Value As Column Header
Dec 22, 2014I have two tables namely lu_parameter and tbl_param_values. The lu_parameter table consists of param_id and parameter column containing id numbers for the parameter names.
The tbl_param_values table consists of values corresponding to the parameters with the param_id value as the column header.
I want to join these two tables so that in the result query instead of param_id value as column heading, I need to have the parameter value as the column heading.
I have attached the screenshot of the data for reference. I am not that much aware of sql queries.

Change Column Size
Jul 1, 2006Hi
I am using one Publisher with many subscribers for Merge replication of a database.
I wanted to change size one column in a table. So I added a dummy column (through Filter column).
Copied data, dropped old column (through Filter column), added new column, copied data, and dropped dummy column.
On subscriber A, replication is OK. On subscriber B, I get the following message.
--------------------
Initializing
Connecting to Publisher 'REPLIC'
Retrieving publication information
Retrieving subscription information
A column was added to or dropped from the replicated table.
The schema script 'exec sp_repladdcolumn '[dbo].[Items]','C1',[NVARCHAR(1000) NULL], '%', 1' could not be propagated to the subscriber.
The schema script 'exec sp_repladdcolumn '[dbo].[Items]','C1',[NVARCHAR(1000) NULL], '%', 1' could not be propagated to the subscriber.
A column was added to or dropped from the replicated table.
--------------------
I made a new snapshot, reintialized subscription with upload, and tried to sychronize again.
But same message.
Question 1. Is there anyway to make replication?
Question 2. If not, can I at least upload data changes before dropping and making new publication?

View 2 Replies View RelatedChange Column Datatype $2,000 To 2000
Jul 30, 2007Hello,How do I change the datatype of a column in a CSV file. Preferably in the select statement (apparently Cast, Convert, & Replace functions don't work when selecting from a CSV). I have a page where users upload their CSV files to and then I use SQLBulkCopy to insert all the records into my sql table. The problem is with columns of money data. EX: "$2,000" >> 2000The CSV file interprets the "$2,000" as a string of text. How do I convert it to a decimal so I can insert it into my sql database?

View 3 Replies View RelatedTSQL Change The Position Of A Column?
Dec 16, 2004We have a little app to help us move applications from developent --> stage --> production. It uploads the files, runs the new stored procedures etc.
One of the things it does is create new columns in existing tables. In EM you can create a new column in any position, but ALTER TABLE seems to only add columns to the end of the table. Is there a way in TSQL to create columns in arbitrary positions in the table? Or do I have to recreate the whole table?
Change Table Column Width
Mar 14, 2000I know we could change the data type or width of a table column in SQl 7 database, but I am not certain if this column is a primary key. Can we change a primary key column width?

Sep 17, 2005I would like to change column data in all tables in a single database at once.
For instance, i have many tables in a database, and about 30% of the tables has the column "orderplace".
And all the data in orderplace (every tables in the database) are "houston". instead of going to each table and

any ideas ? thanks.
Tracking Change History, By Column...
Jun 17, 2004This one is giving me quite a bit more difficulty then I ever imagined it would...
Essentially I would like to use one table to store the change history for multiple tables. I would like to use an update trigger to check which fields have changed in each record, and write a single record for each field that changed containing the table name, field name, previous value and new value to a history table.
I can't seem to find a good way to do this.
Change Output Of A Column Into Hyperlink
Dec 22, 2014I would like to change the output of a column into a hyperlink however I am not sure that is possible without some further post-processing. I am aware I would have to do:
Code:
select
'<a href="' + URL + '" target="_blank" nav="web">' + tbl_ID.ID + '</a>'
from tbl_ID
however this obviously just exports the text
<a href="[URL]" target="_blank" nav="web">[ID]</a>
This would work fine if I was exporting it into some sort of HTML table however this doesn't work with excel for example. Is there a way to make this possible or would I have to create a macro in excel to add the url with the ID separately?
Change Results In Column To Display Different
Jan 30, 2004I have a column in the following select startement called displayvalue. Displayvalue is a varchar column.

NR doesn't come up all of the time, but I have not idea how to do this in the select statment.
Here goes..
