How can get an object's dependencies in SQL Server. For example it I have written a procedure which accesses some tables inside it then the procedure is said to be dependent on that table. Or one procedure might call another procedure and hence dependent.
Can I know an object's dependent objects from any system table. I think Oracle has a table USER_DEPENDENCIES which provides this info (I may be wrong :-().
Can anyone help ?
I need to write a code for remove dependencies between Table1.Prikey and Table2.Idand add dependencies between Table1.Prikey and Table3.Id how to write the code? please help .. thank you very much

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way for me to gather all the dependencies information on all tables and views at one time?
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe previous post regarding dependencies reminded me of another bugger I comeup with from time to time. SQL Server allows us to rename objects via asystem stored procedure (I usually use an ADP front-end that presumably callsthe same procedure), but after the rename, I find singnificant strangeness.For instance, triggers are still connected to the tables, but the trigger textstill refers to the old table name. Views and stored procedures dependent onthe table are broken, and are not fixed by even by restarting the server,though I thought the cached plans were supposed to be dumped on shut-down,then recreated on demand later.Is there some tool or technique to rename a table and automatically detect andproperly drop/rebuild dependent triggers, views, stored procedures,relationships, and anything else I'm not thinking of?Oh yeah, and there are extended properties to deal with as well, but I guessthat's intractible unless we know what client build them (e.g. Access ADP),and what it expects to be recorded there, but I suppose it would be nice tojust dump them rather than leave them there possibly corrupted from a client'spersective.

I am currently using SQLCacheDependencies to help me manage my cache in an ASP.NET application that is hosted across a web farm. This utilises the SQL Server 2005 service broker feature.
I have implemented this and is currently working but i have a few questions i want to clear up and i hope someone can assist me in that.
1/. I am starting the broker service by using the command
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDependency.Start( <connection string> );
I currently have that piece of code running when the application starts in the global.asax file.
What i want to know is will all SQL queries that hit the database register a notification?
Is is possible to only have a selected query register a notification?
In my web application only a handful of database queries require a sqlcachedependency to be created. I dont want all queries to be registering a notification as that will place a burden on my backend server.
1/. So does all queries register a notification once the broker is started?
2/. Is there a way to only tell selected queries to register a notification?
3/. When a cache object is invalidated because of a absolute and slidingscaletimeout, does the existing sqlconnection for that service broker get disposed?
Thanks

Hello,
I have a table in my SQL2000 server and there's a field in this table being created by an object - with a GREEN PLUS sign (look like an APPEND query in MsAccess). How can I locate and edit/modify that (append query-like) object within my SQL 2000 - Enterpise Manager? Here's some more details:
Table: Customer
Field1: CustomerID
Field2: CustomerRegion_ID (contains the ID above & RegionID below)
Table: Region
Field: Region_ID
--------------------------------------------------------------
When I checked on the dependencies of the table "Customer" I saw 1 dependency and this dependency has 2 table depend on it back-to-back (Customer & Region).
I want to modify the "Field2" of the "Customer" table and I looked everywhere on my VB/stored-procedure codes but couldn't find what triggle the creation of the field. The only thing that I suspect that would be the append object with "GREEN PLUS" sign. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi
Is there any way to know as what are all the entities or objects which are dependent upon a given Table? I wanted to know if i update a particular table in a given database on a server, what are all the other tablesobjects which gets effected because of this updation, may be because of some update triggers defined on this tabl or through cascading updates etc. Any system stored procedure which can help me to know these dependencies.
Many Thanks in Advance!
Hello Everyone,
I want to run the SSIS service on a few computers. Can I "only" install this service or does this service needs an instance of the SQL server database as well?
* If it does need the database, can the database be shared between various instances of the service or does each one of them need their own database instance?
* are there any particular databases which are needed by SSIS in order to execute? like master, msdb or tempdb?
regards,
Abhishek.
Hello,
I have recently started working on a OLAP application. The database is around 35 gig, with over half of that space being taken by the indexes. What has happened is previous developers have added indexes to attempt to improve the performance of a select statement (for reporting). Some of the indexes work, but many do not.
I would like to drop the ineffective indices. What I would like is a way to find if indexes are being used, preferably by object name. Is there a third party vendor that can monitor objects and how much they are used? Is there another way to do this using SQL?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

Hi,
Can we define a non-identifying relationship between 2 tables in MS SQL? If yes, what will be the syntax based on what I have:

Some columns in transaction tables are "mandatory fields" on the dataentry screens, and as a result tend to accumulate junk entries, wherethe user puts something, anything, in the window in order to get theGUI to accept the screen. This filler isn't as elaborate as LoremIpsum, but more likely characters from adjacent keys on the second rowof the keyboard, like "lkjkljl". This non-data gets in the way ofapplications that use the data. I wonder if there is a way torecognize and ignore this stuff -- I would assume it's a well-knownproblem, but I haven't found any literature on it. Any pointerswelcome. And sorry if this is off-topic for a DB group.Thanks,Jim Geissman

Have a table showing info like:
Region_ID
Branch_ID
Customer_ID
Transaction_ID
In this regard need to create a view to reflect the info in the order
Region_ID (Ascending)
Branch_ID (Asc)
Customer_ID (Asc)
Transaction_ID (Asc)
But, at the same time, also want to include two additional columns identifying or even inserting 1's against each of the first Customer_ID considering the first two columns, and the second one on the single column itself?In other words consider the following sample, how to add 1 to the last two columns where either the Customer appears for the first time in context with the Region and Branch Fields or to be appearing on it's own for the first time:
Region
Branch
Customer
Transaction

Hey!
I am creating a kind of file browser for an application of mine. The principle is quite straight forward. It consists of folders and files. Each folder can contain other folders and files and so on. The twitch however is that i need a special root entity called site. The site is very much alike a folder but has some other properties. The site can contain folders and files.
To achieve this ive created te following tables (truncated for clearity):
#################### Sites ##################### ID [Int] ## ... ####################
#################### Folders ##################### ID [Int] ## SiteID [Int] ## FolderID [Int] ## ... ####################
#################### Files ##################### ID [Int] ## SiteID [Int] ## FolderID [Int] ## ... ####################
Both the folder table and the files table have a check constraint that ensures that either SiteID or FolderID is NULL. They WILL be part of EITHER a folder or a site. Not both!
Then i set up the foreign constraints as follows:Folders.FolderD -> Folders.IDFolders.SiteID -> Sites.IDFiles.FolderID -> Folders.IDFiles.SiteID -> Sites.ID
All constraints have cascade on delete and therefore the last of them cannot be created as it would be circular. (Wich it wont in this case, but theoreticaly its possible)
Iknow WHY this is rendering an error. But how can i work around it? Or would you suggest another design of the tables?

I know about sp_depends however many of the objects are not in the catalogue that the object is in and therefore are not shown.

As far as I know SQL Server 2005 lists only dependencies within the same database. In many cases though there are objects in one database depending on objects in a different database on the same server. I unsuccessfully looked for a tool to list those and I ended up creating a script to do the job instead. Any improvements are appreciated, e.g. the script uses syscomments which may no longer be available in the next SQL Server version - I have not found a replacement sys.XXX table yet. Please note that you need to use a connection with access to all the SQL databases on a server and that it may take a while to run the script below if you have many databases with numerous objects in there. On the other hand these are exactly the cases when you need to know which of the thousands of objects are dependent on the table or view you are looking at.
P.S. Does anybody know where the extended properties get stored (hint - not in syscomments)? I was looking for those too, since often I document in the description of a field that it links to "DatabaseABC.dbo.TableXYZ.Field1"

Anybody know if there is a system function that can be used from astored procedure that determines if a given primary key has existingdependencies? I want to make a check for this and if there are none, Iwill delete the record. If there are, I will change a field calledbitStatus from 1 to 0. Enterprise Mgr. does something like this underAll Tasks, Display Dependencies. The normal way I do it is to manuallycheck for the existance of the primary key in every dependent table.SQL 2000 server
View 3 Replies View RelatedSorry to start a new thread, actually Darren answered my first question on SSIS dependencies but I have a clarification and somehow the software of this forum doesn't allow me to post again on my previous thread. (my posts disappears after some time).
My question is that if I choose to deploy the SSIS packages in SQL Server, then SSIS would have a dependency on SQL Database.
Do we know where the deployed packages are stored in SQL. This information is needed so that I can maintain and monitor the DB where the deployed packages are stored.
Also, do you think its a best practice to deploy the packages in SQL ( I think it will be good because then I can have consistent version of a package deployed on many machines... since I store my packages on one consistent DB rather than multiple file folders on each machine).
regards,
Abhishek.
I have packages with the execute process task. I have included the exe-file from path A using add->existing item to the SSIS-project so that it lies under miscellaneous files. Deploying these packages using the deployment utility the file gets in the deployment folder that I copy to the server. Running the package installer and installing to SQL Server all files get copied to the B path (dtspackages under sql server by default). Trying to run the package however results in complaints about the file not being at location A. I thus changed the path in the execute process task to a relative one and then I get a complaint that the file "is not in path". So how do I do to make sure it finds the executable at location B where it actually is? I thought the deployment utility would handle this on it's own?

I am back with another quick question here.
I was working on a table and on my absence it was dropped by one of my collegues. I restored it from the backup. The problem is it is not showing all the stored procedures and other tables under show dependencies as the original table was.
Is it going to affect the way the stored proc. depenendant on it works..or everything will be fine?
If the answer is yes...is there a way I can add the stored procedures or link it to the new table?
Thanks for reading and any insight is more than welcome.

Hello,
I have a package, which calls a sub package to poulate a table depending on a flag in the database (using an ExecuteSQL task to return flagged table name).
The inner package populates some tables, and calculates what needs to be processed next. It sets the next flag.
However, I can't make this work in the control flow, as once the Execute package has completed, I need to start again from the top, as the flag will have changed to the next item.
I hope that I have explained this well enough.
I really need this to work, but SSIS will not let me create a circular dependency. Does anyone know a way around this, or can offer me an alternative solution??
I am getting desperate, so any suggestions will be welcome
Many thanks

We would have come across locks on rows, tables etc. How do we handle it
through code (SP)!!!
A job is executed at 12 pm midnight on a table. This table exists on an
24X7 accessed (users will be access the table anytime in the day/night)
database. We need to execute this job if this table is not locked at 12 pm.
Can we have the solution for the listed are two scenarios:
1. You have a normal user and do not have system privilege.
How would you design the database(Table)? Is it possible?
2. You have all the privileges on the system tables.
What would be the sql script to help us identify the lock? How will
it be used in your code? Or is there exception handling !!!
