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.

Table Names And Field Names

Jan 21, 2004

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?

Table Names In Stored Procedures As String Variables And Temporary Table Question

Apr 10, 2008

How do I use table names stored in variables in stored procedures?




Code Snippetif (select count(*) from @tablename) = 0 or (select count(*) from @tablename) = 1000000





I receive the error 'must declare table variable '@tablename''

I've looked into table variables and they are not what I would require to accomplish what is needed.
After browsing through the forums I believe I need to use dynamic sql particuarly involving sp_executesql. However, I am pretty new at sql and do not really understand how to use this and receive an output parameter from it(msdn kind of confuses me too). I am tryin got receive an integer count of the records from a certain table which can change to anything depending on what the user requires.




Code Snippet

if exists(Select * from sysobjects where name = @temptablename)
drop table @temptablename




It does not like the 'drop table @temptablename' part here. This probably wouldn't be an issue if I could get temporary tables to work, however when I use temporary tables i get invalid object '#temptable'.

Heres what the stored procedure does.
I duplicate a table that is going to be modified by using 'select into temptable'
I add the records required using 'Insert into temptable(Columns) Select(Columns)f rom TableA'
then I truncate the original table that is being modified and insert the temporary table into the original.

Heres the actual SQL query that produces the temporary table error.




Code Snippet
Select * into #temptableabcd from TableA

Insert into #temptableabcd(ColumnA, ColumnB,Field_01, Field_02)
SELECT ColumnA, ColumnB, Sum(ABC_01) as 'Field_01', Sum(ABC_02) as 'Field_02',
FROM TableB
where ColumnB = 003860
Group By ColumnA, ColumnB

TRUNCATE TABLE TableA

Insert into TableA(ColumnA, ColumnB,Field_01, Field_02)
Select ColumnA, ColumnB, Sum(Field_01) as 'Field_01', Sum('Field_02) as 'Field_02',
From #temptableabcd
Group by ColumnA, ColumnB




The above coding produces

Msg 208, Level 16, State 0, Line 1

Invalid object name '#temptableabcd'.

Why does this seem to work when I use an actual table? With an actual table the SQL runs smoothly, however that creates the table names as a variable problem from above. Is there certain limitation with temporary tables in stored procedures? How would I get the temporary table to work in this case if possible?

Thanks for the help.

Passing Table Names To Table Valued Functions

May 25, 2008

Hello,
It is possible to write stored procedures which take table names as parameters; is it also possible to do this with table valued functions?

For example, a simple stored procedure is this:

CREATE PROCEDURE SelectTop(@tableName sysname)
AS
BEGIN

Execute('Select top 10 * from ' + @tableName + ';')

END

I want to be able to do the analogous thing with a table valued function (so that I can query the result set, without having to create a temp table). How should I do this (i.e., pass a tablename as an argument to a table valued function)?

Join Table Key To Multiple Table Names

Nov 5, 2004

Hi there. I haven't been able to figure out how to join a table on column on multiple table names. Here's the situation:

I have a table "tblJob" with a key of jobID. Now for every jobID, the program creates a new table that keeps track of the stock before the jobId was processed and after it was processed to give accurate stock levels and show the difference in stock levels. So, a jobID of 355 would be related to the table: "tblPreStock_335" and "tblPostStock_335". These 2 tables have all the materials in stock and the quantity. Therefore they show how much material was used. I need to figure out the difference in the material in the stock before and after the processing.

That means that I have to get a stockID, get the associated pre and post tables, and then display the difference of ALL the materials in the pre and post tables.

Could someone help me get started on the right path? Even a link to similiar problem that I haven't found would be nice.

Thx

Unable To See Table Names In DTS

Apr 17, 2000

While setting up a BCP in a DTS package, I've found a rather annoying 'feature' in DTS. When selecting the destination table, the display does not provide enough spaces to see the full table name. It is a drop down with a set width, and the database and owner are displayed with the table name. I hadn't noticed this problem in the past, but the database I'm working with now has several tables that start with the same letters, and when the drop down displays them, they all look the same.

Does anyone know of a work around for this so that I can see the full table names? Even being able to see them after the package is created would be nice, because then I could check to see if I guessed the correct table.

Thanks

Get Column Names From Table

Hi All,

I was wondering how would I get the column names from a table? Not the results just a listing of column names. What is the command to get this information? I am using MS Access, but I posted here because MS SQL is the closest thing on this forum and the syntax is usually similar.

Thanks a bunch.

database 2 is the copy for breaking.
Im too a point that i need to get my 2nd DB to by like the first.
I want to truncate all the tables in database2, and then export, or select from insert into.

For each (select table_name from system where database="database") copy database.table_name database1.table_name;

i hope that makes sense.
I just need to restore my devel DB back to the original so i can mess it up again,

Table Names And Variables

Nov 14, 2005

I have a cursor which populates a variable with the name of each user table within my DB.
I'm trying to copy the tables one at a time by using a command like this:
SELECT * INTO @NewTable FROM @OrigTable
Query analyzer tells me that there's incorrect syntax near the keyword 'INTO'.
This seems fair enough to me as I assume it's trying to put the data into the variable rather than the table name which is held within the variable. Does any know how I can get around this?
Are there any alternative ways of copying the table structure (preferable without the data)?

BTW both variables are of type char(100)

Dynamic SQL And Table Names

Jun 5, 2008

Hi all,

I have been attempting to construct some dynamic SQL using a table name as a parameter, and call it using sp_executesql, in SQL Server 2005.

According to all of the searches and articles I have read today, the following should work:

DECLARE @rownumINT
DECLARE @tabNamNVARCHAR(100)
DECLARE @SQLStringNVARCHAR(500)
DECLARE @ParmDefinition NVARCHAR(500)

SET @rownum = 35
SET @tabNam = 'AdminScriptHistory'

SELECT @SQLString = N'SELECT * FROM @table where executionorder=@row'
SET @ParmDefinition = N'@table VARCHAR(100), @row INT'

EXEC sp_executesql @SQLString, @ParmDefinition, @tabNam,@rownum

However, it fails with:

Msg 1087, Level 15, State 2, Line 1
Must declare the table variable "@table".

Anybody know why?

Cheers

Table Names As Keys?

Jul 20, 2005

Hello all,I got a chance to peak into a database system. Part of its design israther unfamiliar to me. When I look at the diagram generated by SQLServer, there are many floating tables. Eventually it turns out thatthese many floating tables are actually not floating. Their tablenames relate to fields (as TableID) in other tables. In this case,you can get a handle to one of such tables by search TableID columnsin other tables.To be more specific, the database is a microarray database implementedin SQL Server 2000. They have a table called MICROARRAYS. In thistable, there is a column called table_id. These table_ids are in facttable names of a bunch of other tables.My questions are1) Is this good relational design?2) How well is this kind of design supported in SQL Server?3) Are there better alternatives?Any other comment or link to helpful resources will also beappreciated.Thanks,Eric Wu
