I have a table of results for various measured quantites and i need to turn this into a view. Only problem is i need to seperate the measured quantities and their respective values into seperate columns.
In SQL 2005 - when I display the results of a View and Copy all rows and columns, the resulting Paste in Excel does not include the column names.
How can I set SQL 2005 so the names of the columns will come along with the content of the copy function?
Background:
When I am using a SQL Query (instead of a view) I have the ability to control whether or not I am able to Include the Column Headers when copying or saving results. The control exists in the Options > Query Results > Results to Grid > Include column headings etc.
My question is how to get this same ability when attempting to copy the results of a VIEW vs. a Query.
I have consistent column names that load into a grid view. I now need to change the names in the grid view programatically. I was originally trying to get cute with SQL to do this, but I've been told my below solution will not work and I'm better off to do this in the presentation layer. If this is true, remember I'm still wet behind the ears here...how do I do this in vs2005? Here's my post to the SQL devs to give you an idea what I'm trying to do. I have a query that grabs fields from a denormalized table. The result is column names Week1, Week2, Week3....Week26. Users want to see the actual date instead of Week#. So I have a table (lkpdatecaptions ) that contains the fields "fldfieldno" and "Fldcaption". fldfieldno Fldcaption----------- --------------11 9/07/200712 9/14/200713 9/21/2007So fieldno 11 represent week1 and so on. So my hope is to update the alias with a query like: Select fldcaption from forecast.tlkpdatecaptionswhere fldfieldno = 11That quey returns the value of 9/7/2007 and is the value I need to represent the coumn alias name.My current query looks like this:SELECT SUM(forecast.tblforecastdenormalized.fldwk01) AS WEEK1,So can I do something like the following?SELECT SUM(forecast.tblforecastdenormalized.fldwk01) AS (Select forecast.tlkpdatecaptions.fldcaption from forecast.tlkpdatecaptions where fldfieldno = 11), ...
Hi,I'm trying to create views on all my existing tables and for that I'dlike to create a script or so.I don't want to specify the '*' for the columns in the create viewstatement. I prefer to specify the column names.I have the column names int sys.columns table but Do not know how tohandle them to have a statement like that:CREATE VIEW myVIEWWITH SCHEMABINDINGASSELECT col1name, col2name, col3name, etc...from sys.columns....?????.....Anyone can help?thx,Chris

My question is how to get this same ability when attempting to copy the results of a VIEW vs. a Query. The idea is that when I setup a view it€™s a drag/drop type of query building (query building for dummies if you will). Once I have a view and click the Execute icon it will return all the records selected by the View. However, when I click the upper left/top box to select all rows and column and then try to copy/paste the records into Excel all the data copies just fine but the field name/column headers are not there. How can I get the header fieldname date to copy/paste from View result set that I'm able to copy from a Query result set? Thank you, Mike
I have a field in a table that contains a different formula (varchar(1000)) for each record. It's along the lines of something like this, although each formula is different: ([ColumnA] - [ColumnB])/([ColumnC] - [ColumnD]). I plug that into a dynamic SQL statement so that it can get executed in a select statement.
Due to the variations of the formulas, checking for Divide by Zero, etc, we want to move this to a .NET method. We'd like to replace "ColumnA" and "ColumnB", etc., with the actual values so that we're passing something like (5-3)/(6-2). I haven't been able to figure out a way to do this without actually executing it. We don't want to pass the solution, but the equation filled with the actual values rather than the column names.
I am building reports against our TFS development db. One of the reports tracks days spent (Dwell Time) in various status categories (eg: New, Assigned, In Development, Hold, etc) for a given "ticket". For a fixed list of values from {Work Item].System_State, I can send the results (days in Assigned) to the column named (Assigned) for each status for each event in the [Work Item History], and then sum them for each ticket as: Ticket ID New Assigned InDev etc 1230001 2 0 0 ... 1230001 0 1 2 ....
SUM 2 1 2 .... However, I have many different Projects, each of which use their own Status names. I don't want to duplicate the same basic report, if I can avoid it.
How can I name and generate this data for the unique Status list for each Project?
Simplest analog is: name = First(Fields!Status.Value, "TFSdb") and allows value for a column name (category) as: =IIF(Fields!Status.Value = First(Fields!Status.Value, "TFSdb"), Fields!Days.Value, 0) However this fails beause: 1. It only delivers the FIRST status value, and, 2. I cannot SUM an expression which is itself an aggregate (using First).
In my report, I need to display column names (and its values) from my dataset, which uses the stored procedure and within it use the PIVOT statement. I cannot use the matrix control in report since I need to add another static column to the right of the matrix, but since that cannot be done ni SQL SSRS 2005, I need to PIVOT it through stored procedure. The parameter passed to stored procedure is the year and it is used for pivot. The statement looks like this:
@sql = 'SELECT * FROM (SELECT YearId, SchoolId, ReportText, OutputValue_Text from AggregateTable) AS AGAM PIVOT (MIN(OutputValue_Text) FOR YearId IN ([' + @YearId + '])) PVT'
EXEC(@sql)
So, since the years passed as parameters can change, I cannot hard-code it as column in my report, so I need to programatically display column names and values from my dataset, something like dataSet.Tables[0].Columns[].ColumnName; I have tried with writing the code, but I do not have much experience with it and I have not been very successful. Can someone help me with the code?
I created a query that got the following result. But I expect to get the structure like, care_nbr, cust_nbr,legal_name, address_type=physical address, addr_line_1, addr_line_2, address_type-primary address, ddr_line_1, addr_line_2. That means I only need primary and physical address, and expect them to show in a row to each care_nbr. How to perform that?
I need to check whether procedure found any matches or not. If not it has to return the column name where matching value was not found. For example, if there was no record found in the table "Addresses" column "customer" with the value @username, it should return "street". If id with value @prod_id was not found in the table "Products", the "productname" must be returned as well.
CREATE PROC sp_test @id INT, @username VARCHAR(50), @prod_id INT AS
SELECT name FROM Customers WHERE id=@id SELECT street FROM Addresses WHERE customer=@username SELECT productname FROM Products WHERE id=@prod_id
It is kind of check, which has to find out if users have inserted all the necessary values or not. Thanks for any advice.

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.
When I run the parse command in SSMS, it merely does a syntax check. When I run through the export data wizard by right clicking on a table, it allows a query as the data source. When I click on the parse button in the window that accepts that query, it resolves object names and notifies me of invalid ones. I'd really like the same thing to happen when I parse in SSMS...
We have SharePoint list which has, say, two columns. Column A and Column B.
Column A can have three values - red, blue & green.
Column B can have four values - pen, marker, pencil & highlighter.
A typical view of list can be:
Column A - Column B red  - pen red - pencil red - highlighter blue - marker blue - pencil green - pen green - highlighter red  - pen blue - pencil blue - highlighter blue - pencil
We are looking to create a report from SharePoint List using SSRS which has following view:
          red   blue  green   pen       2    0    1   marker    0    1    0   pencil      1    3    0   highlighter  1    1    1Â
We tried Sum but not able to display in single row.
I have an SSIS package that imports data from an Excel file, replaces any value in Excel that reads "NULL" to "", then writes the data to a couple of databases.
What I have discovered today, is I have two columns of dates, an admit date and discharge date column, and what I need to do is anywhere I have a null value in the discharge date column, I have to replace it with the value in the admit date column.Â
I have searched around online and tried a few things using the Replace funtion in Derived columns but no dice so far.Â
I am looking to create a constraint on a table that allows multiplenulls but all non-nulls must be unique.I found the following scripthttp://www.windowsitpro.com/Files/0.../Listing_01.txtthat works fine, but the following lineCREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX idx1 ON v_multinulls(a)appears to use indexed views. I have run this on a version of SQLStandard edition and this line works fine. I was of the understandingthat you could only create indexed views on SQL Enterprise Edition?
I create a user then I create a database and assign my newly created user as owner
When I login as this new user everything works fine BUT my newly created user can still see other database names even though he is not allowed to use them.
How can I prevent him from seeing other database names.
Basically, I'm working on a stored procedure which will retrieve data based on study parameter passed. The datasource is 'Views'. The name of the view is same for every study except that there is corresponding study name included. For example the views names are something like this for study abc 'v_abc_form' and for study def 'v_def_form'.
Below is the select statement I'm trying to use by declaring @study variable but not able to succeed. I'm not sure how to make the table name dynamic.
I have a webpage that should display the database names from the master.sysdatabases in a dropdownlist. The code for the stored procedure works fine in Query Analyzer and returns the list of all database names under that instance of SQL-Server 2000. The code: select name from master.dbo.sysdatabases order by 1doesn't return the sysdatabase names to the ASP.NET webpage when executing the stored procedure. It returns: System.Data.DataRowViewWhy does it do this and how can I fix it?Tx

Hi(SQL Server 2000)I have an existing table (t) with a column that is NOT an identity column(t.ID), but it has manually inserted "row numbers". I want to make thiscolumn become an identity column. This column is a key field to othertables, so I want to keep the row numbers that are allready inserted.From the Query Analyzer, how do I do this?Thanks in advance!Regards,Gunnar VøyenliEDB-konsulent asNORWAY
