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!

Select From A List Of Tables And Columns

Nov 26, 2014

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?

List Attached Databases?

Mar 12, 2007

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.

Getting List Of Databases From Server

Sep 25, 2006



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.

List Of All Table Sizes In A Databases

Mar 6, 2000

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!
Joyce

Display List Of Databases In App_Data Folder

May 16, 2007

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
