List Of Columns From Tables Across Databases.
Jul 23, 2005
Hey guys,
Couldn't find this anywhere in google.
I want a list of all database column names for a specific table/view
from across database.
I tried this...
-----------------------------------------------------
Select *[color=blue]
>From Information_Schema.Columns[/color]
-----------------------------------------------------
I also tried this...
-----------------------------------------------------
select syscolumns.name, sysobjects.name, * from syscolumns, sysobjects
where
sysobjects.id = syscolumns.id
and (sysobjects.xtype='U' or sysobjects.xtype='S')
-----------------------------------------------------
These queries return information about the CURRENT database.
But, if I want to do it ACROSS database or across servers.. how can I
do this?
I will express my gratitude to everyone who is kind enough to answer
this question. (I've been stuck with this problem for a while now.)
Thanks!
OhMyGaw!

I need........
Table A
Column1 Datatype
Column2 Datatype
Table B

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?

Here 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.

Dear Readers,Is it possible, like in Access, to link to tables in other SQL databases that are on the same server? I have a query that I originally had in Access that queered from multiply databases. It did this by having those other tables in the other databases linked to the database that had the query.

I need to get records from multiple databases.
In my main database, I have a list of databases related to seperate business units.
For each of those databases, I need to get a list of values from a table (the table exists in each database).
Basically
foreach database in a list
Do a Lookup
end
Possible?

Is there a stored procedure to list attached databases?
You can do this:
use Master
exec sp_helpfile
go
Which shows you the config files for the current DB.
What if you want to do a multiple sp_detach_db? If you could get a list of the attached DB's you could recursilvely or conditioinaly detach.

Is there a way I can query the database server (SQL 2000) to get a list of all the available databases? As a threshold problem I am not clear how I would connect to the server. I am using VB.Net and presently connect to one database at a time. The connection string is in an XML file, such as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Connection>workstation id=ASUS;packet size=4096;user id=sa;data source="5.15.183.222KWMSDE2"; persist security info=True;initial catalog=tsLocal;password=pass
</Connection>
Is there some special way that you connect to the server without specifying the database?
Is there a certain query I must use once I am connected? Can the information be returned in the form of a data table in a data set?
Thanks.

Hi,
Is there a query I can run to retrieve a list of all tables and their sizes in a database? I want something that is like the feature in Enterprise Manager when you click on a database and then the 'Tables & Index' link. It lists the tables and their respective size. I want to push this into a spread sheet.
The reason why I am doing this is the compare data between 2 different databases. Since I cannot find a tool that will compare the data, the closest I can get (without bcp-ing out all data and comparing) is to look at the sizes of each table.
Thanks!

Hi All,
The web site I'm working on will allow admin users to create a new database for each new client. I'm hoping to be able to keep all of the databases in the local App_Data folder, but I'm finding that I can't even find a way of generating a list of the databases in the App_Data folder.
The code I have is:Dim serverConn As New ServerConnection(".SQLEXPRESS")
serverConn.LoginSecure = True
serverConn.ConnectTimeout = 30
serverConn.Connect()
Dim sqlServer As Server = New Server(serverConn)
For Each db As Database In sqlServer.Databases
ListView1.Items.Add(db.Name)
NextThis does populate a list of databases, but not the ones in the App_Data folder - just those attached directly to the server.Any help on this will be greatly appreciated as it's starting to drive me nuts!Thanks,Paul
