Transact SQL :: How To Find If A Column Is Used Anywhere In Database

Oct 20, 2015

I have looked around quite a bit, but mostly what I have found is looking to see if a table is used or if a column is in a stored procedure and honestly most of what I have seen does not work.

I want to reduce our nightly import by removing any columns that are not being used. We insert into our staging tables, Stage1 for example. And say Stage1 has column1 and column2. If those columns are not being used, then I want to remove them from Stage1. The only catch is that every Stage1 table has a v_Stage1. v_Stage1 should have all the columns from Stage1, but doesn't always. So I need to know what columns from Stage1 are used somewhere other than v_Stage1 and what columns from v_Stage1 are not used.

Transact SQL :: Find Unique Rows In Column That Are Associated With Another Field In Another Column?

May 1, 2015

I am having issues trying to write a query that would provide me the unique GUID numbers associated with a distinct PID if the unique GUID's > 1.  To summarize, I need a query that just shows which PID's have more than one unique GUID. A PID could have multiple GUID's that are the same, I'm looking for the PID's that have multiple GUID's that are different/unique. 

Table1

GUID PID
GUID1 PID1
GUID1 PID1
GUID1 PID1
GUID2 PID1
GUID3 PID2
GUID3 PID2
GUID3 PID2

The result of the query would only have PID1 because it has two unique GUID's. PID2 would not be listed has it has the same GUID3 in each row.

Result:

PID1

This is what I got.

'Cannot Find Column' Errors

Oct 11, 2007

Greetings!I have a project that has been in production for a couple years now. It's a v1.1 ASP.NET web farm hitting a SQL database. The last couple weeks, the website has been erroring out on  various pages for about 1-2 hours at a time twice a week. While the error messages are occurring, I cannot reproduce the errors myself.  Here are some of the error messages I recieve:Cannot find column [ColumnName][ColumnName] is neither a DataColumn nor a DataRelation for table RESULT.[ColumnName] (This is a wierd one. The error message returned is just a column name)No record foundColumn '[ColumnName]' does not belong to table RESULT.I come to a dead end when I follow the Stack Trace to find a programmatic error.  I'm able to hit the same page with all the same form fields at the error occured on and I cannot reproduce. The only consistentcy in these errors is that they come all at once and they are database related. Anyone have an issue like this before?

Find Common Value In Column For 30 Tables

Mar 21, 2006

Hi,

I am trying to query for a common value in a column called "file_auth_nbr" in 30 different tables. I was going to try something like this (see below) but wasn't sure if this was the most efficient, fastest, or correct, way to get what I'm looking for:

Select distinct a.file_auth_nbr from table1 as a
join table2 as b
on a.file_auth_nbr = b.file_auth_nbr
join table3 as c
on a.file_auth_nbr = c.file_auth_nbr
join table4 as d
on a.file_auth_nbr = d.file_auth_nbr
join table5 as e
on a.file_auth_nbr = e.file_auth_nbr
......etc., etc.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated,
Jeff

Find Out What Tables Contain A Specific Column

Jul 28, 2006

I want to write SQL that will search the tables in a database for a specific column, like this. For instance, I have a column "Unique_ID" that is in many of our tables (hundreds) but not in others and want to find out the tables it is in. It is always the first column.

I tried to find a system stored procdure to do this but couldn't and tried to create a script using the sysobjects and syscolumns tables in the Master db, but came to a roadblock because they don't seem to be related at all.

I would surely appreciate if someone else has already done this!

Need Help With Some SQL Statements, Find Most Frequent Value In Column

Mar 11, 2008



How can I make a statement that will return the 10 most frequently occuring values in a column?

I have no idea if that is even possible, if you have an idea on how I could do that I would really appreciate it.

Im trying to make a page that would show some statistics on a table I have.

Im also trying to make something that would show the count of the number of records inserted in the last 24 hours, week, month, year etc. The table has a column called "DateInserted" as SmallDate, right now i can use a Where DateInserted > '20080310' to get the count, but its not dynamic, is there anyone to merge all these results into one row with each column being a diffrent time period?

I know this a lot of questions, but I would really appreciate any pointers.

Find/Next + Excel Merge Column Issues

May 9, 2008



Two issues,
1. Even if there is no text entered in the search box of the report viewer header, the next button is clickable and returns the message "the entire report is searched'. Is this a defect in the product?

2. When report is exported to excel, the excel object tries to keep the report formatting to the closest and hence merging the columns in the excel. What is the work around to fix this issue. The end users after exporting to excel would normally do a sort by ascending/descending on required columns and this behaviour is causing an issue.
