SQL Server 2012 :: Parameter Datatypes Linked To Underlying Table Column Datatype
Jun 5, 2014In Oracle when i create any procedure i define parameter datatype linked to under lying table.
For ex
create procedure testprocedure
(param1 customer.name%type,
param2 customer.salary%type )
Here i have defined param1 and param2 with datatype of name and salary of customer table respectively.
This way i do not need to worry about modifying param1 and param2 datatypes when datatypes of name & salary of customer table changes in future.
How can i accomplish this in SQL server.
How To Sort Table In Sql2000 With Ipaddress(format X.x.x.x) As Column With Nvarchar Datatype In Ascending Order

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?

Changing The DATATYPE Of A PUBLISHED COLUMN
Oct 27, 2003Hi guys,
Is there any way or method to CHANGE the DATATYPE of a column in a published table being used for transactional replication (MSSQL 2000), WITHOUT DROPPING THE SUBSCRIPTION ????
Im stuck in this mess and do have the option to drop the subscription, alter the table, create the subscription and rerun the snapshot or to recreate it by Manual Synchronisation either.
Can anyone help? Has anyone been across this dilemma before and have troubleshooted the problem? If yes, help is much appreciated.
MY PROBLEM:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'MyTable' is currently being published and has subscriptions to it. The PRIMARY KEY column 'id' has an Identity property as well. 'id' is of datatype smallint, however because of bad planning, i now need to change that datatype to an integer to support a larger range WITHOUT DROPPING SUBSCRIPTIONS.
I CANT DROP THE COLUMN EITHER AS IT IS BEING THE PRIMARY KEY COLUMN.
IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY I CAN DO TO ARCHIEVE MY GOAL? THANKYOU.
Update Column Without Changing Datatype?
Oct 15, 2015I am trying to make the following update: All the columns are fine except for the 'name' column. datatype for 'name' column in the target table is varchar(30) and the datatype for 'name' in the sourcetable is varchar(40), I cannot change the datatype of the column 'name' to varchar(40) because I am told it may affect performance. what I want to do is just update the first 'name' column of the target table by the first 30 characters of the source table column 'name'
I am using the following query, is it possible to do it or are there any other ways I can update the column without changing the datatype?

Snapshot Agent Fails On Table With XML Datatype : Script Failed For Table 'dbo.TableName'
Sep 11, 2007SQL Server 2005 SP2 Error: Script failed for Table 'dbo.TableName'
I keep getting this error when trying to generate a snapshot for transact replication.
Here is the publishing table schema:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[viMediaPlaylist](
[MemberID] [bigint] NOT NULL,
[xmlPlaylist] [xml](CONTENT [dbo].[viMediaPlaylistCollectionSchema]) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[MemberID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, FILLFACTOR = 90) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
I tried the following:
#1)Create table schema at the subscriber manually, and change package to Keep object as is. Got the same error during snapshot.
#2Filtered replication to NOT include XML column. This worked, and no error was generated, replication was up and running.
So my question is, what is the problem with XML column being replicated?
Any ideas how i can make this work? At this point i'm not sure what the problem is with the xml column, but it seems like ti tries to run schema script, but i'm not asking it to create the schema i already did it myself. Thanks!

I want to keep the default constraint, but i get errors when I try to do the following to alter the datatype:

Retrieving Variant Column Datatype Using SQLColAttrubute
Jan 11, 2008Hi,
When i try to retirve the datatype of a variant column using SQLColAttribute, the datatype comes back as SQL_BINARY(-2) instead of a CHAR based type. To reproduce the problem, add extended property 'MS_Description' to either a column or a table. Assign a text value to the property.
Execute the following query and verify. SELECT value FROM sys.extended_properties WHERE name = 'MS_Description'
I'm using SQL Server 2005 sp 2 with Visual Studio 2005.
Here is the code i use -
Code Block
SQLHENV m_SQLEnvironment;
SQLHDBC m_SQLConnection;
SQLHSTMT m_SQLStatement;
SQLRETURN iReturn;
CString sConnectionString = _T("DRIVER={SQL Native Client};SERVER=YourServer;DATABASE=YourDatabase;Trusted_Connection=yes;");
CString sQuery = _T("SELECT value FROM sys.extended_properties WHERE name = 'MS_Description'") ;
iReturn = SQLAllocHandle( SQL_HANDLE_ENV,SQL_NULL_HANDLE,&m_SQLEnvironment);
iReturn = SQLSetEnvAttr(m_SQLEnvironment,SQL_ATTR_ODBC_VERSION,(SQLPOINTER) SQL_OV_ODBC3,0);
iReturn = SQLAllocHandle(SQL_HANDLE_DBC,m_SQLEnvironment,&m_SQLConnection);
iReturn = SQLAllocHandle(SQL_HANDLE_STMT, m_SQLConnection, &m_SQLStatement );
SQLCHAR szwOutputConnectionString[800];
SQLSMALLINT nOutputStringLength = 0;
SQLUSMALLINT nDriverCompletion = SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT;
iReturn = SQLDriverConnect( m_SQLConnection, m_hWnd, (SQLCHAR*)(LPCSTR)sConnectionString, SQL_NTS, szwOutputConnectionString, 800, &nOutputStringLength, nDriverCompletion );
iReturn = SQLAllocHandle( SQL_HANDLE_STMT,m_SQLConnection,&m_SQLStatement);
iReturn = SQLPrepare( m_SQLStatement, (SQLCHAR*)(LPCSTR)sQuery , SQL_NTS );
iReturn = SQLExecute( m_SQLStatement );
iReturn = SQLFetch( m_SQLStatement );
SQLINTEGER nType = 0;
SQLSMALLINT nDummyInt = 0;
//get the datatype of the variant
iReturn = SQLColAttribute( m_SQLStatement, (SQLUSMALLINT) 1, SQL_CA_SS_VARIANT_TYPE, NULL, NULL, &nDummyInt, &nType );
After the execution of SQLColAttribute, nType value is assigned a value of -2 (SQL_BINARY) instead of a CHAR based type. What am i doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.

Trigger To Work Depending On Datatype And Column Name
Jan 24, 2008Hi,
I have a trigger that fires on update, populating a varchar field [ExampleDate_Str] with the dd/mm/yy format of the inserted datetime field [ExampleDate]. It works, but I don't want to rewrite it for the thousands of datetime fields in hundreds of tables in my db. So I am looking for a way to do something like this in a trigger -
for each column in triggered tableset @ColName = (the column name)if datatype(@ColName) = datetimeset @ColName + "_Str" = convert(varchar(8),ExampleDate,3)next
Obviously the above doesn't work in SQL or indeed any other language yet invented - is it possible to make it so that it does, and if so, how? The main points are to read the column name into a variable, check the datatype, and modify the column named @ColName + "_Str".
Thanks...
