Hi,
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?
Thanks
Dear Experts,
I'm working for an ERP company, for our product, there are around 2000 tables. in each table, we are using 10 extra columns for our future use. all these are using nvarchar(50) datatype.
almost 95% of the columns in these are not in use almost. those are having null value and in some columns, the values are like 0,1...
is this affects the performance?
please spare your valuble time
thank you very much

I apologise if this question has been asked before but I have spent ages searching these forums and the internet for an answer and I am yet to find one.
My problem is that I have a package which imports a column, lets call it 'Column A'. Column A is used to create other columns, lets say Columns B, C & D. This is done in a script using asychronous input and once completed column A is no longer used. Other tranformations occur to B, C & D including a split and then finally a merge together again, but all the time A seems to remain a valid input on all processes yet I never choose to use or output it. When I come to the merge process I am required to merge columns B, C & D but also A, surely this is inefficient. Furthermore when the package has run I get a warning telling me that Column A is not required and should be removed, but I can not seem to find anywhere to remove it from the pipe.
I am hoping that I am just missing something obvious here but I have been tearing my hair out so any help would be much appreciated!

I have a flat file data source and SQL Server destination data flow. Only a subset of columns from the source are mapped to the destination. During execution SSIS returns DTS pipline warnings for every unmapped source column. Is some kind of transformation the only way to get rid of these warnings?
Also this data flow subsequently returns an error: [SQL Server Destination [1293]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E14. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E14 Description: "Could not bulk load because SSIS file mapping object 'GlobalDTSQLIMPORT ' could not be opened. Operating system error code 2(The system cannot find the file specified.). Make sure you are accessing a local server via Windows security."
I'm researching this error, but if anyone is familiar with it your advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Dear Folks,
Can you please tell me the query to display the columns in a table?
thank you very much

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?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAccording 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 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 have the following 2 Query's - case when Table has no Identity Column and other with identity Column . I am planning to make it to single Query .
Query 1:
SELECT @ColumnNamesWhenNoIdentity = COALESCE(@ColumnNamesWhenNoIdentity + ',', '') + Name +'= SOURCE.'+Name
FROM sys.columns WITH(NOLOCK) WHERE object_id =
(
SELECT sys.objects.object_id

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

)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.
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?
Create table #tempa
(
customer_Full_Name varchar(100),
Customer_Email varchar(100),
Postcode varchar(100),
AlternateEmail varchar(max)NULL
)
insert into #tempa (customer_full_name,customer_email,postcode)

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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHere is a requirement. Need to update the columns in the tables with the latest values available in CSV.
The file is based on department so the list of tables which is under this department all the corresponding tables needs to updated.
The CSV file which is dynamic in nature the number of columns changes it has header of the columns that needs to be updated.
The destination tables are listed under department table for each department. So I have to update the columns in the tables with the values in csv.

* All SQL services runs under the same domain user account
I did some internet searches and found several others who have had this problem. However, I didn't see any solutions. There also seems to be a similar problem with SQL Express but that is not what I am using.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Hi. I'm Sara Cushman, a reporter for SearchDatabase. We're doing a story about the latest round of SQL server security warnings and patches.
How did you handle the situation? Did you drop everything else and deal with it? How did it compare with other SQL Server problems you have had? Were you able to handle it in a way that you feel left you without any vulnerabilities? If you haven't dealt with it, what are you waiting for?
We're looking for DBAs to share their stories. If you have some, reply here or email me at scushman@techtarget.com so that I can get in touch with you.
Thanks!
Hey y'all...
Anyone know how to capture SQL Warnings so I can write them to an error log? I can't seem to find any info on it in Books Online...
I can capture the errors just fine by using @@ERROR after a select, but what about warnings such as "Warning: Null value is eliminated by an aggregate or other SET operation."
Thanks!
Is there a way to disable warnings in ssis? I'm using a third part tool to call an ssis and when the ssis give a warning the tool is showing failure.
