I have a database with a whole lot of records (over 70 mill) I am looking for a quick way to search the name fields for incorrect names and give me a count.
Example:
ttthomas
wwwagner
jonnnes
willllliams
fredrickkkk
collinssss
I mostly need it to search for 3 or more duplicate characters in a row, but through the whole name.
I am not sure if this is even possible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
I am in the process of creating a means for users to access data via views using MS Excel. The views I have created "pull" from data in two different databases into a third. I also wanted to use the data as well in some web reporting that I do. The problem I ran into in the web app is that it giving me the following error.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Invalid object name 'dbo.NVoltHSCLConsolProduction'
What did I miss in creating the views?
Thanks,

I am designing a package to export staging tables into a flat file.The names of the tables will be: TableAStaging_YYYYMM and TableBStaging_YYYYMM. As you can see the names of the tables will be changing each month.
The flat files will have similar naming: C:MyPathFlatFileTableAStaging__YYYYMM and C:MyPathFlatFileTableAStaging__YYYYMM.I want to run the package as an sql job in two steps, one for each table.I need to dynamically pass the table names and file names (together with the path) to the IS package.
As part if a recent requirement I have to export Chinese/Singaporean names in a CSV file. The data in the tables is a NVARCHAR(256).
I am using a FlatFile Connection manager where all the present columns from the table are exported as NVARCHARs. My understanding was that the Chinese/Singaporean names would blend seamlessly with NVARCHARs in place. But, they get garbled when pushed to the CSV.
Here is the connection manager setup
There are a lot of suggestions of fixing this by copying/pasting to a notepad file and changing the formatting... But I cant do that since the file is generated using a schedules SSIS package. How can I tweak the process to fix the issue?
Hi
I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how we could find the table names and column names of the tables in our Sql server database at runtime/dynamically given our connection string? Please let me know.
Thanks.
I'm going to be setting up DB mirroring between two SQL Server 2005 boxes. Since these are on two different servers, can the instance names be the same? Is there any reason NOT to do so if the mirror server is going to be used exclusively for DB mirroring?
For example: if the my primary DB is located on SERVER1INSTANCE1, can the mirror be SERVER2INSTANCE1 or do the instance names have to be different even though they're on different boxes.
Thanks!
I'm trying to do an update query that looks like this:
UPDATE
PAEMPLOYEE
SET PAEMPLOYEE.LOCAT_CODE = EMPLOYEE.PROCESS_LEVEL
FROM
PAEMPLOYEE A
JOIN EMPLOYEE B ON A.EMPLOYEE = B.EMPLOYEE
It's erroring out on the Employee prefix B.EMPLOYEE saying:
..."does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query"
Is it wrong or will it cause problems to have a field name the same as the table name?
Hello there. I'm trying to populate a drop down box with a list of all available instances of SQL server (express or not) available on a network. To list all instances I'm using EnumAvailableServers() in SmoApplication.
The issue is that the Instance column in the returned data table is always empty, and both the Name and the Server columns contain the same string -- the name of the computer the SQL server is installed. Locally I have SSE installed, the instance name is <computer_name>SQLEXPRESS, however, using Smo I can't seem to get to the either full instance name or just the instance name. I can't assume SQLEXPRESS, since there may be more than one installed.
Alternately I used EnumRegisteredServers() in SmoApplication.SqlServerRegistrations and that, while returning instance information (can be retrieved from the RegisteredServer in the returned collection), doesn't always return the remote SQL servers in the list.
Any idea how can this be done? Maybe I'm going at it the wrong way, maybe there's another class / method I need to use to retrieve all instances?
Thank you

My company is going to start a Cancel web site so customers can cancel their future orders by simply filling out a form. I was wondering what would be the best way to compare the cancel db to db that is used to store customer information and order information.
The cancel website will only hold the name, address, and Credit Card Number used. There will not be a customer/order number. The simple Credit Card to Credit Card search will be easy but I was more worried about comparing the rest of the information in case the Credit Card search fail. I was told the "standard" look up was to take the first 3 letters of the first name and the last 3 letters of the last name. If that comes up with more then one record, take that set and see if the zip code matches up and/or part of the street address matches up (counting we do not have very reliable people inputting the information into the system is not going to help this search).
Anyway, any suggestions on comparing the data would be great.
Thanks ahead of time
When I am connected to an instance of the sql server using EM, can I find out how many other instances are present on the original server?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have inherited a database which had no clustered indexes at all, only non-clustered. WHen I started experimenting with creating some I got error messages back complaining that the name already existed in sysobjects. I have come to find out they tool they use to create the indexes, names the index the same as exisiting table(isn't this a great idea). Other than my current problem, does anyone see other issues might run into. My thought is to drop all the indexes with the table names and recreate them with a better standard. Has anyone else ever run into or done this?

Is it possible for MS SQL 2k to get confused when we have two stored proces that has the same name for their transactions and both stored procs are exec at the same time?
Example:
Create Procedure SP1
as
Begin Transaction TranName1
Commit Transaction TranName1
Begin Transaction TranName2
Commit Transaction TranName2
Create Procedure SP2
as
Begin Transaction TranName2
Commit Transaction TranName2
Begin Transaction TranName3
Commit Transaction TranName3
We are seeing some very weird data corruption but luckily its been way under 1%(something like 500 bad rows out of a few million). The only thing we can think of since it is such a very low number is maybe when blocking occurs SQL has trouble handing two transactions with the same name in its queue. Beyond that we have no idea what could be causing this issue.

I need to implement support for alternate names on the database I’m working on.
When a user looks up: “Antony Bigglesworth” the query would return both: Antony Bigglesworth as well as Tony Bigglesworth, would both exist.

I need a querry to get all columns names.

Hi, i need a query to have the columns names !!
If you have another solution, let me know !!
superj !!!
Hi
When I run this query..
SELECT COLUMN_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME='TableTest'
I get all the column names, but the result is not in the same order as when I check the design for the table, why is that?
At my work, we are upgrading a number of MS Access 2000 databases to SQL Server 2000. Many of the columns have names that do not follow the rules for Identifiers. For example there are columns with a numeric names 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. There are also columns with a hyphen in the name and columns that begin with a number and not an underscore or an alpha character. Plus there are columns with names like first, last, position, etc. (There was also columns with reserved words used as the names. I have changed those column names in the databases that I have already converted) Will leaving these names alone create a problem? The database serves as the backend to ASP pages.

Anyone done this? I want to add a selection criteria to a report that would let you input an alpha range parameter for the list you want to produce.
So for example, I want to pull customer balances where the customer name starts with a letter between A and G.
I know how to add the criteria box, I am just not sure how to pick the names with my Where clause.
Basically I want a where clause like:
Where first letter of customername >= A AND
first letter of customername <= G
But I am not sure how to code that in SQL.
Do I need a function to find the first letter of the name so I can compare to the input range?
I like to print the table names that starts with 'table'.
I'm getting the same table name four times. Instead of four different table name.

hi
am new to sql...i need to write a query ..it is like two teams can play more than 1 game but on different dates..
so if i create the table like this
Create Table Games( TeamName1 char(30),
2 numGoals1 int,
3 TeamName2 char(30),
4 numGoals2 int,
5 play_date char(10),
6 primary key(TeamName1,TeamName2,play_date),
7 Check(TeamName1!=TeamName2)
8 );
this violates the constraint if i give the two teams on the same date..how to give the condition such that it checks for the violation of condition if the team names are interchanged.. for eg
if i give the values as
Insert Into Games values('chelsea',1,'arsenal',2,'17-1-2000');
and
Insert Into Games values('arsenal',1,'chelsea',2,'17-1-2000');
the above should violate the constraint ..how to do it
