I have a field called "assescode9" in a table called "Assessment" which has the length of "6" and I want to change this length to 7 or 8 in SQL. I tried right click on the field and modify but when I want to save it says you can not save the changes because it requires a Drop table and recreate or you do not have an option enabled to recreate the table, how do I do this?
I have never done dropping a table and recreate it?
I have about 200 records with a field (fileName) that have an ampersand(&) somewhere in them. I need to update the fileNames and remove all occurances of "&" and replace it with "-"; without modifying any other part of the file name.
Is there a SQL command I can use to update only part of a field?
I want to create a procedure where each time I add a new record to a table I want to set the field “Display” ( BIT ) to “false” in a position that is two rows before the last one. How to do that ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello friends,
I am new to the SQL Server 2005 development.
From last 1 week or so, i have been facing very strange problem with my sql server 2005s database
which is configured and set on the hosting web server. Right now for managing my sql server 2005 database,
i am using an web based Control Panel developed by my hosting company.
Problem i am facing is that, whenever i try to modify (i.e. add new columns) tables in the database,
it gives me error saying that,
"There is already an object named 'PK_xxx_Temp' in the database. Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider".
where xxx is the table name.
I have done quite a bit research on the problem and have also searched on the net for solution but still
the problem persist.
Thanks in advance. Any help will be appreciated.
I have some rather large TSQL scripts I'd like to schedule as jobs. Unfortunately, the SysJobSteps table in the MSDB Database is limited to 3200 characters while I need it to be 5000. Does anyone know if it's possible to increase the size of this to allow for larger TSQL scripts?
Thanks!
I have two tables, a data table (MainTable) that contains a user initials and other empty rows and then i have a user table.
I also have an inner join view with the initials from both tables as the joining field.
I want the users to be able to modify the data table (MainTable) but also display the users name field.
here is the sql of the view:
SELECT dbo.MainTable.DateCreated, dbo.InitialsListing.Initials, dbo.MainTable.CustomerNumber, dbo.InitialsListing.AdvocateName,
dbo.MainTable.Supervisor, dbo.MainTable.Complete, dbo.MainTable.FirstNotify, dbo.MainTable.SecondNotify, dbo.MainTable.ThirdNotify,
dbo.MainTable.AdvocateInitials
FROM dbo.InitialsListing INNER JOIN
dbo.MainTable ON dbo.InitialsListing.Initials = dbo.MainTable.AdvocateInitials
Hi There,
I am trying to add a new field to a table using enterprise manager by right clicking on the table, choosing design table and adding the new field/column. But when I choose save changes, I receive an error message:
------------------------------------------------------------
Errors were encountered during the save process. Some of the database objects were not saved.
'Comments' Table
-Unable to modify table
ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL SERVER] ...
... Cannot drop the table 'dbo.Comments' because it is being used for replication
-----------------------------------------------------------
If it helps I am trying to add a binary (bit) field and a text field of 50 characters. I think the replication it refers to is a merge replication (not sure though is there a way i can find out in EM?)
I have read some articles which refer to this problem and suggest using stored procedures but I really dont know how to do that, having never used them before. I need an idiots guide please!
Let me know if I need to provide more info. Thanks.

By default, I constructed my database using the dbo Schema. I have since created new Schemas, and want to change some of the tables from dbo.
Is there a way to change the existing schema of a table without disrupting the data that is inside the table?
For example:
Current: dbo.Products
Desired Change: NewSchemaName.Products
Thanks.
Hi there,
Completely new to the world of databases. I'm a designer who works primarily in Flash. In any case, I'm trying to manage an application that uses MS SQL and learn about the wonderful world of databases.
Ok, I modified a table (e.g. I added a column called "Rate") that had associated views (created by another developer). Noticed that my application went a little wonky as some of my variables within my app took on the value of the data in the "Rate" column. I checked one of the views and noticed that a column within the view (e.g. TutorID) was assuming the values in the "Rate" column. Note: The column TutorID had been blank before the change to the table. I'm completely lost as to why this is happening. Do I need to rebuild the view? Can I just reset the original view?
Thanks.
Oh yeah, I'm using SQL4X Manager J from Mac Guru (if that helps).
When I try to modify a table that I just created I get the following error message: - Unable to modify table ODBC error:[Mircrosoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver] Invalid cursor state.
SP3 has been applied to SQL Server 2000.
Can anyone help explain what is causing this error? There is sufficient space for the database and transaction log.

Hi,
I have one table (PermProportionalCosting) that contains employeecode, costcentre and proportionpercentage. An employee may have two or more records in this table, indicating that their salary has been split across multiple costcentres.
Another table (Employee) contains a default costcentre for each employee.
Another table (TransActualHistoricalMaster) contains the hours paid to each employee for each pay period.
My query so far selects all employees and the total hours worked from the TransMaster table, and then selects the costcentre and proportionpercentage from the PermProportionalCosting table. Multiple lines are created for all employees in the PermProportionalCosting table, with each line indicating the proportionpercentage and associated costcentre.
This is my query so far:
SELECT TransActualHistoricalMaster.EmployeeCode, Employee.PreferredName, Employee.LastName, CostCentre.Description, PermanentProportionalCosting.CostCentreCode,PermanentProportionalCosting.PercentageSplit,
TransActualHistoricalMaster.OrdHours
FROM TransActualHistoricalMaster
INNER JOIN Employee ON TransActualHistoricalMaster.EmployeeCode = Employee.EmployeeCode
INNER JOIN CostCentre ON Employee.CostCentreCode = CostCentre.CostCentreCode
FULL OUTER JOIN PermanentProportionalCosting ON TransActualHistoricalMaster.EmployeeCode = PermanentProportionalCosting.EmployeeCode
GROUP BY TransActualHistoricalMaster.EmployeeCode, Employee.PreferredName, Employee.LastName, CostCentre.Description, PermanentProportionalCosting.CostCentreCode, PermanentProportionalCosting.PercentageSplit, TransActualHistoricalMaster.OrdHours
This next bit is what I am unsure of.
I would like the CostCentre field from the Employee table to go into the PermanentProportionalCosting.CostCentreCode column where the employee doesn't have a record in the PermanentProportionalCosting table. In the above query, there is a null value for each employee that doesn't have a record in the PermanentProportionalCosting table, so I would like my query to replace the null value with the costcentre from the Employee table.
Any assistance would really be appreciated.
Thanks.
I need create a field to store tax rate. I need only 2 decimal points. I defined the field as decimal, precision=5 and scale=2. Does it mean that it can hold value from 0.00 to 999.99?
View 12 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a concern about adding a new field to a table with image field - which is huge.
Will there be a problem with some databases, where they have a hard time locating data correctly after such a large field?
Previously this happened to me, and what was advised to put all the big fields at the end of the table.
Thanks.
does anyone know if there is a way, or perhaps a custom toolbox control that is already developed that allows you to drag an entire dataset into a table, instead of pulling everything in field by field...?
was just curious.

I'm using SQL Server 2005 Express.
(Below are the three tables along with their fields)
1) tblEmailAddress Table
a) EmailAddress
b) Emailid (each EmailAddress has this corresponding Emailid)
2) tblEmailGroupLink Table
a) Emailid
b) Unsubscribed
3) Remove_List Table
a) EmailAddress
What I'd like to accomplish is...
A) To compare the EmailAddress field of all the records in the Remove_list Table to the EmailAddress field of all the records in the tblEmailAddress Table and if there is a match, get the Emailid field value.
B) Go to the tblEmailGroupLink Table and lookup the Emailid and change the value of the Unsubscribed field to 'True' for that record.
I'd appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks,
Bill

Hi all,
Hopefully I am posting this question in the correct forum. I am still learning about SQL 2005. Here is my issue. I have an access db that I archive weekly into and SQL server table. I have used the dst wizard to create an import job and initally that worked fine. field I have as the primary key in the access db cannot be the primary key in the sql table since I archive weekly and that primary key field will be imported several time over. I overcame this initally by not having a primary key in the sql table. This table is strictly for reference. However, now I need to setup a unique field for each of the records in the sql table. What I have done so far is create a recordID field in the sql table that is an int and set as yes to Identify (auotnumber). That worked great and created unique id for all existing records. The problem now is on the import. When I try to import the access table i am getting an error because of the extra field in the sql table, and the error is saying cannot import null value into this field. So... my final question is how can I import the access table into the sql table with one extra field which is the autonumber unique field? Thanks a bunch for any asistance.

I would like to create a procedure which create views by taking parameters the table name and a field value (@Dist).
However I still receive the must declare the scalar variable "@Dist" error message although I use .sp_executesql for executing the particularized query.
Below code.
ALTER Procedure [dbo].[sp_ViewCreate]
/* Input Parameters */
@TableName Varchar(20),
@Dist Varchar(20)
AS
Declare @SQLQuery AS NVarchar(4000)
Declare @ParamDefinition AS NVarchar(2000)
[code]....
I have the following query in sql 2005:
PROCEDURE [dbo].[uspInsert_Blob] (
@fName varchar(60),
@fType char(5),
@fID numeric(18, 0),
@bID char(3),
@fPath nvarchar(60)
)
as
DECLARE @QUERY VARCHAR(2000)
SET @QUERY = "INSERT INTO tblDocTable(FileName, FileType, ImportExportID, BuildingID, Document)
SELECT '"+@fName+"' AS FileName, '"+@fType+"' AS FileType, " + cast(@fID as nvarchar(18)) + " as ImportExportID, '"+@bID+"' AS BuildingID, * FROM OPENROWSET( BULK '" +@fPath+"' ,SINGLE_BLOB)
AS Document"
EXEC (@QUERY)
This puts some values including a pdf or .doc file into a table, tblDocTable.
Is it possible to change this so that I can get the values from a table rather than as parameters. The Query would be in the form of: insert into tblDocTable (a, b, c, d) select a,b,c,d from tblimportExport.
tblImportExport has the path for the document (DocPath) so I would subsitute that field, ie. DocPath, for the @fPath variable.
Otherwise I can see only doing a Fetch next from tblIportExport where I would put every field into a variable and then run this exec query on these. Thus looping thru every row in tblImportExport.
Any ideas how to do this?
