Multiple Sp_rename In Transact-SQL Script Won't Work
May 6, 2008
Hi,
Recently I have been trying to write a script in order to redo this entire database, it's actually only about rectifying column and table names as well as a few erroneous relations, etc. The idea is that the actual data is okay it's just the organization that is completely messed up (spaces in column and table names, etc.)
Anyway my problem is this, a part of this script is about mass-renaming columns and tables the code is as follows in the Query Analyzer:
When I barely analyze the code (Ctrl+F5) it gives me the following error:
Serveur : Msg 170, Niveau 15, État 1, Ligne 2
Ligne 2 : syntaxe incorrecte vers 'sp_rename'.
Which would roughly translate into:
Server : Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Line 2 : Incorrect syntax near 'sp_rename'
When I execute it, it gives the same error. Why does it do that when i give it the two lines while if i enter the lines one by one it works just fine. How is a SCRIPT supposed to work if I have to "baby-feed" every statement separately.
PS:
i am working on SQL Server 2000 (in Query Analyzer menu ?/About .. it says SQL Version 8.00.194
I have this sql stored procedure in SQL Server 2012:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[CreateBatchAndSaveExternalCodes] @newBatches as dbo.CreateBatchList READONLY , @productId int , @cLevelRatio int , @nLevelRatio int AS set nocount on;
Below is the stored procedure i have it works fine if i have 1 value passed to @invited_by but i want to modify but i want this code to be working for multiple inputs .Lets say if i do
exec [dbo].[sp_GetInvitationStatusTest] 'Test1 . I get the desired output but i want this procedure to work for exec [dbo].[sp_GetInvitationStatusTest] 'Test1,Test2'. USE [merck_acronyms] GO
Hi There, Why does the following statement doesn't work when i execute this in the master database? How should it be altered? EXEC sp_rename 'REPLICATIETEST.dbo.USERLOG2','REPLICATIETEST.dbo.USERLOG Kindest Regards
SQL Server 7.0I have a stored procedure that builds some tables. To minimize down time(it is the backend for a website), I build the tables into temp (not #temp)tables, drop and rename the tables with SP_Rename. On ONLY one of the tablerenames (1 of 8), I get the following Error:sp_rename error: 15248 Severity 11Error: The parameter @oldname is either ambiguous or the claimed @itemtype((null)) was wrong. It refers to Line 256.Again I get no errors doing the exact same process on the other 7 tables.Anybody have any ideas?Barry
BooksOnline indicates that sp_rename can still be used to rename constraints such as primary keys, foreign keys, defaults, etc. in SQL Server 2005. However, when I try to do so I get this:
"Either the parameter @objname is ambiguous or the claimed @objtype (object) is wrong."
After looking at the code for sp_rename, it looks like this problem might be related to another bit of apparent misbehavior on 2005's part: when I execute "select object_name()" with the Id number of a constraint, it returns the name, but when I execute "select object_id()" with the name of that same constraint, it returns null. Why is that?
I'm trying to create an email report which gives a result of multiple results from multiple databases in a table format bt I'm trying to find out if there is a simple format I can use.Here is what I've done so far but I'm having troble getting into html and also with the database column:
Hi all, I am new to transact-sql and hoped that someone here might be able to help. I have a db with a field called "part" ... part contains text in the format:
xxxxx-xx-xxxxx
(the number of x's before or after each hyphen vary) such that I could have xxx-xxxxx-xxx as the part.
Someone wrote this transact-sql to take my current "part" field and move it to three different part fields ... a,b,c
If xxxxx-xx-xxxxx was the part in the original db, then a would contain xxxxx .. b contains xx ... c contains xxxxx
Make sense? Here is the code. It doesn't work and I can't seem to figure out why! It looks like it is just trying to find the hyphens and cut out the text from that... but it fails with an error that says "invalid length parameter passed to the substring function". Note, if I take off the "-1" from each line below... then the function works but produces the wrong data.
char(45) = "-" (hyphen)
UPDATE [dbo].[parts] SET a = SUBSTRING(part,1,CHARINDEX(CHAR(45),part)-1), b = SUBSTRING(part,CHARINDEX(CHAR(45),part)+1,CHARINDEX(CHAR(45),RIGHT(part,LEN(part)-CHARINDEX(CHAR(45),part)))-1), c = SUBSTRING(part,CHARINDEX(CHAR(45),RIGHT(part,LEN(part)-CHARINDEX(CHAR(45),part)))+CHARINDEX(CHAR(45),part)+1,LEN(part)) GO
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this or is it much more difficult to do than what it seems?
how recursive CTE works...Synthesise table with non-recursive CTE
;WITH Employee (ID, Name, MgrID) AS ( SELECT 1, 'Keith', NULL UNION ALL SELECT 2, 'Josh', 1 UNION ALL SELECT 3, 'Robin', 1 UNION ALL SELECT 4, 'Raja', 2 UNION ALL
[code]....
the first part query will return one row IDNameMgrIDnLevelFamily 1KeithNULL11
then this result set using after union all query .how the level + 1 condition is working ? and how its return values .
In the following t-sql 2012 merge statement, the insert statement works but the update statement does not work. I know that is true since I looked at the results of the update statement:
Merge TST.dbo.LockCombination AS LKC1 USING (select LKC.comboID,LKC.lockID,LKC.seq,A.lockCombo2,A.schoolnumber,LKR.lockerId from [LockerPopulation] A JOIN TST.dbo.School SCH ON A.schoolnumber = SCH.type
[Code] ...
Thus can you show me some t-sql 2012 that I can use to make update statement work in the merge function?
I am wanting to create a custom workday calendar to show Monday - Friday as a workday, then go back and update a few holidays as non-workdays. This is the syntax I have to start with, but it is presenting with an error:
Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 21 Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.
What should I alter?
CREATE TABLE dbo.CreateCustomCalendar ( wk_Date INT IDENTITY NOT NULL, FullDate DATETIME NOT NULL, WeekDayName VARCHAR(9) NOT NULL, IsWorkday varchar(20) NOT NULL )
Basically, I am asking if it is possible to use SSMS (Query Analyzer window) with Informix. I am thinking linked server. If I have the ODBC driver installed on my workstation (win 7 pro VM workstation -- SSMS on same VM machine) is this doable? Do I just do the standard linked server routine or is there a special way (if it is even doable).
I created a dbo.Calendar table that stores dates and a work day flag (1=work day, 0=non-work day) so I can use it to calculate the next business date from a date using a function. I'm using a while group to count only the work days and a couple other internal variables but I'm not sure if I can even use them in a function.
Assuming Sats & Suns are all non-work days in April 2014, if my @WorkDays = 10 for 10 work days and my @DateFromValue - 4/1/2014, I would expect my return date to be 4/15/2014.

I have database with three tables Accounts, Results, and ClosedOrders. All are connected through AccountID PK/FK.
I got a wonderful select statement that gives me the latest Results for each Account.
WITH cte AS ( SELECT Accounts.AccountID, Accounts.AccountName, Results.ResultTime AS LastUpdated,
[Code] ....
I've been struggling to extend this with two more columns from the ClosedOrders table. How to add columns to the this view? Basically what I need is this:
SELECT SUM([Lots]) AS Longs FROM [DEV].[dbo].[ClosedOrders] WHERE OrderTypeID = 0;
SELECT SUM([Lots]) AS Shorts FROM [DEV].[dbo].[ClosedOrders] WHERE OrderTypeID = 1;
But it has to "join" the CTE somehow so that I get the correct answer for each Account row.
I'm working on a data analysis involving a table with a large number of records (close to 2 million). I'm using only three of the columns in the table and basically am grouping results based on different criteria. The three columns are PWSID, Installation and AccountType. I have to Provide the PWSID column with a count of the total number of installations per PWSID, also a count of AccountTypes per PWSID. I have the following query, but the numbers aren't adding up and I'm not sure why. I'm falling short in the total count by around 60k records.
I didn't find whats problem with this code. Actually I try to create a select statement with with cte select statement. In cte clause my output ok but when I try to receive that output from write another select statement then its show error.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 276 Incorrect syntax near ';'. Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 315 Incorrect syntax near ')'. Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 351 Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'as'.
I am looking for a way to get the PRODUCT of all columns and group by M_DOMA, [FROM] - Basically multiply all columns on the row that are not M_DOMA or [FROM].
I have a table where I need to concatenate all values into one field separated by a comma. If the field is null display a blank value. This is my table structure and example output
Create Table #read ( id int ,field1 varchar(100) ,field2 varchar(100) ,field3 varchar(100) ,field4 varchar(100)
I am trying to update the same row of the table multiple times. in other words, i am trying to replace the two stings on same row with two different values.
Example: if the column has a string "b" then replace with "B" and if the column has a string "d" then replace with "D" . I can write multiple updates to update it but i was just wondering if it can be done with single UPDATE statement
column before the update : bcdxyz after the update: BcDxyz
So I'm thinking if I can have multiple statements within the CASE-THEN..or do I have to CASE out each individually? Kind of like this....
CASE WHEN [AddressType] = 'M' THEN [MailingAddress].[Address1] [MailingAddress].[Address2] [MailingAddress].[City] [MailingAddress].[State] [MailingAddress].[Zipcode] WHEN [AddressType] = 'D' THEN [DefaultAddress].[Address1] [DefaultAddress].[Address2] [DefaultAddress].[City] [DefaultAddress].[State] [DefaultAddress].[Zipcode]
I want to select all of the date and weekDay values from tblWagesWeeks for a specific weekID. I also want to show all entries fromtblTimeEntry for the weekID when a record exists. If data does not exist in fromtblTimeEntry I want to display a blank entry but still need weekDay and date from tblWagesWeeks.
Select ID, FIRST(forename), FIRST(surname) from table1 GROUP BY ID;
I know First doesn't work in TSQL, I used to use it in Access and now need to run something like that in TSQL. Simply getting unique ID with first forename and surname, cause there are some dupes in a table.
There are records like:
ID forename surname -------------------------------- 1 John Kormack 1 James Dope 2 Erin Dupes 3 Will Hugh 3 Walter Heisenberg
