Hi,
I'm looking for some code that will pull back a list all tables in a database that meet a certain requirement - in this case all tables that have an identity column.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Cheers

Hello 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.
we have a table in our ERP database and we copy data from this table into another "stage" table on a nightly basis. is there a way to dynamically alter the schema of the stage table when the source table's structure is changed? in other words, if a new column is added to the source table, i would like to add the column to the stage table during the nightly refresh.
View 4 Replies View RelatedBelow is my table structure. And I am inserting data from other temp table.
CREATE TABLE #revf (
[Cusip] [VARCHAR](50) NULL, [sponfID] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, GroupSeries [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [tran] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [AddDate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [SetDate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [PoolNumber] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [Aggregate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [Price] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [NetAmount] [VARCHAR](max) NULL,
[Code] ....
Now in a next step I am deleting the records from #revf table. Please see the delete code below
DELETE
FROM #revf
WHERE fi_gnmaid IN (
SELECT DISTINCT r2.fi_gnmaid
FROM #revf r1, #revf r2
[Code] ...
I don't want to create this #rev table so that i can avoid the delete statement. But data should not affect. Can i rewrite the above as below:
SELECT [Cusip], [sponfID], GroupSeries, [tran], [AddDate], [SetDate], [PoolNumber], [Aggregate], [Price], [NetAmount], [Interest],
[Coupon], [TradeDate], [ReversalDate], [Description], [ImportDate], MAX([fi_gnmaid]) AS Fi_GNMAID, accounttype, [IgnoreFlag], [IgnoreReason], IncludeReversals, DatasetID, [DeloitteTaxComments], [ReconciliationID],
[Code] ....
If my above statement is wrong . Where i can improve here? And actually i am getting 4 rows difference.
I need to count distinct postalcodes from the customer table and then next to it put the number of times that postalcode was used and the state for the zipcode.Example output:85007 / 12 / AZ90210 / 4 / CAThis is about as far as my knowledge takes me:select count(distinct postalcode) from customersAny help generating this query would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!

2) these two table have One Prinary Key column with IDENTITY feature.
Any Help Greatly appriciated.Regards.
Structure Number1
Category: CategoryId(P.K.), UniqueName, CreatedDate, ModifiedDateCategoryNative: CategoryId(F.K.), LanguageId(F.K.), NativeName, Description, Importance, IsVisible, CreatedDate, ModifiedDate
Structure Number2
Category: CategoryId(P.K.), UniqueName, CreatedDate, ModifiedDateCategoryNative: CategoryNativeId(P.K.), CategoryId(F.K.), LanguageId(F.K.), NativeName, Description, Importance, IsVisible, CreatedDate, ModifiedDate
Can anyone tell me that between above 2 structure what is better and why?
I just add CategoryNativeId(P.K.) in Number 2 structure.
Dear all,
how can I use a store procedure to get the structure of a table like data type, length, description etc.
I have used sp_columns to get the information but it can't get the description of each field.
Thanks.

This table structure does not include anything about accounts and item 4) making materials from 1 or more other materials (E.G., Concrete).
Any hints how to incorporate these outstanding items?

Hi,
I have one field "Status" with 15 different types of values. Like 1, 2, 3, 4 .. 15.
Now this Status field contains the values like this:
Id Status
1 1,2
2 3
3 1,2,3
4 13,15
What is the best way to organize this information in SQLServer table?
My idea is Create one table with the following volumns: ID, Status1, Status2, Status3, ... Status14, Status15.
Now the above data look like this:
Id Status1 Status2 Status3 ... Status13 Status14 Status15
1 1 1 0 0 0 0
2 0 0 1 0 0 0
3 1 1 1
4 0 0 0 1 0 1
So, In future If they add new column they can easily add column like status16.
And status table look like this
Status
StatusID Description
1 a
2 b
..
15
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I have the following query I am bulding, its returning the desired results I am just really bad at control statements in TSQL.
What I want to do is dynamically pass the "and landingPage like '/products%' to the SPROC. If I pass nothing this part of the query is not added.
Also, I am wondering how difficult it would be to pass some RegEx into the "landingpage like '%asdf' " part of the query ?
I have started reading some articles but it seems pretty complicated. I am running sql2005 so I am clear on that part.
Any help is much appreicated!!
Thanks again,
mike123
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[select_google_referrers_groupByQueryDate_OrderByQueryDate]
(
@numDays int,
@landingPage varchar(50) = NULL
)
AS SET NOCOUNT ON
SELECT CONVERT(varchar(10),GO.queryDate,112) as referDate,
COUNT(GO.queryID) AS TotalReferrers FROM tblgoogle_referrerDetails GO
WHERE DateDiff(dd, GO.queryDate, GetDate()) < @numDays and landingpage like '/products%'
GROUP BY CONVERT(varchar(10),GO.queryDate,112)
ORDER BY referDate DESC

I need a statement that can return a hierarchy of folders. There are a number of good articles out there describing how to do this in SQL 2005 with a Common Table Expression (CTE) that references itself under a UNION ALL. Yet every example I come across involves a self-referencing table. Unfortunately the architect of my project did not use that simple structure. Instead, we have a Folder table and Folder Properties table. Creating a child Folder involves adding a row in the Properties table that links to a parent. Here's the statement I came up with:
WITH Folders (ID, ParentID, FolderName, FolderDepth)AS ( SELECT FOLDER_ID, NULL, FOLDER_NAME, 0 FROM ZZ_FOLDER WHERE FOLDER_ID = 1 UNION ALL SELECT F.FOLDER_ID, Folders.ID, F.FOLDER_NAME, Folders.FolderDepth + 1 FROM ZZ_FOLDER F INNER JOIN ZZ_FOLDER_PROP FP ON FP.FPROP_FOLDER_ID = F.FOLDER_ID WHERE FP.FPROP_LINK_ID = Folders.ID )SELECT * FROM Folders
The initial statement brings back the top of the folder structure. The recursive statement brings back Folder rows that have an entry in their Property rows for the parent. Yet when I try to execute this, I get:
Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 1The multi-part identifier "Folders.ID" could not be bound.Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 1The multi-part identifier "Folders.ID" could not be bound.Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 1The multi-part identifier "Folders.FolderDepth" could not be bound.
It sounds like all the recursive references to the CTE are unavailable. What am I doing wrong? Would welcome any suggestions, too. I realize this isn't a T-SQL specific question, more SQL in general, but I didn't see a more relevant forum. What follows are some tables/data to run the above statement against.
-- Create Folder TablesCREATE TABLE ZZ_FOLDER ( FOLDER_ID INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, FOLDER_NAME VARCHAR(50))CREATE TABLE ZZ_FOLDER_PROP ( FPROP_ID INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, FPROP_FOLDER_ID INTEGER NOT NULL, FPROP_LINK_TYPE VARCHAR(50), FPROP_LINK_ID INTEGER NOT NULL)GO-- Populate Folder TablesINSERT INTO ZZ_FOLDER VALUES (1, 'Top Level')INSERT INTO ZZ_FOLDER VALUES (2, 'Second Level A')INSERT INTO ZZ_FOLDER VALUES (3, 'Second Level B')INSERT INTO ZZ_FOLDER VALUES (4, 'Second Level C')INSERT INTO ZZ_FOLDER VALUES (5, 'Third Level A1')INSERT INTO ZZ_FOLDER VALUES (6, 'Third Level A2')INSERT INTO ZZ_FOLDER VALUES (7, 'Third Level A3')INSERT INTO ZZ_FOLDER VALUES (8, 'Third Level B1')INSERT INTO ZZ_FOLDER VALUES (9, 'Third Level C1')INSERT INTO ZZ_FOLDER VALUES (10, 'Third Level C2')INSERT INTO ZZ_FOLDER VALUES (11, 'Fourth Level A3A')INSERT INTO ZZ_FOLDER_PROP VALUES (1, 2, 'Folder', 1)INSERT INTO ZZ_FOLDER_PROP VALUES (2, 3, 'Folder', 1)INSERT INTO ZZ_FOLDER_PROP VALUES (3, 4, 'Folder', 1)INSERT INTO ZZ_FOLDER_PROP VALUES (4, 5, 'Folder', 2)INSERT INTO ZZ_FOLDER_PROP VALUES (5, 6, 'Folder', 2)INSERT INTO ZZ_FOLDER_PROP VALUES (6, 7, 'Folder', 2)INSERT INTO ZZ_FOLDER_PROP VALUES (7, 8, 'Folder', 3)INSERT INTO ZZ_FOLDER_PROP VALUES (8, 9, 'Folder', 4)INSERT INTO ZZ_FOLDER_PROP VALUES (9, 10, 'Folder', 4)INSERT INTO ZZ_FOLDER_PROP VALUES (10, 11, 'Folder', 7)GO/*Top Level Second Level A Third Level A1 Third Level A2 Third Level A3 Fourth Level A3A Second Level B Third Level B1 Second Level C Third Level C1 Third Level C2*/

View 7 Replies View RelatedAll,On my aspx page i have 2 sets of checkboxlists, each with a number of items and i am storing that info in my db. currently i have my table set up this way: InfoID--PK autoUserID-intCheckBoxList1ID-intCheckBoxList2ID-int So a user can select more than 1 item in each checkbox, so this table will contain multiple user-ids and each id from the respective checkboxes. My question is, is there a better way to store this data? I hope this is clear, any input would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

Hi,I have a table for storing my picture albums here it is:CREATE TABLE [UserAlbum] ( [ID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL , [UserID] [int] default(0) , [AlbumName] [nvarchar] (100) NULL , [Audience] [int] default(0) , [Date_added] [smalldatetime] NULL , CONSTRAINT PK_CmmNet_userAlbum_ID PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( ID )) ON [PRIMARY]GO
it has a field called "audience" as the name defines i want to choose who will see my albumsit is integer and as follows:0 value=everyone1=friends only2=private
as i started to write a query for it i came into this problem: for exampleif i write SELECT * FROM UserAlbum where audience=1 then only friends can see the infowhat happens to everyone with value of 0?when i set it to 0, friends should also be able to see the info because it is set for everybody
i noticed i should use "in cluase" like thisSELECT * FROM UserAlbum where audience in ('0','1') > so in this way both everyone and also friends can see the info
or maybe i should add 3 different fields for private,public,friends
it seems to be simple but at the same time harddoes anyone have a suggestion?
Hi i have a student table and also an societies table, and a student can belong to as many societies as possible, for example student John Taylor belongs to the Football society, rugby societey and dance society, where as student Jim Jenkins belongs to the Football society, rugby society, arts society and graphics society.
My tables so far look like this;
STUDENTS; student_id, student_name
SOCIETIES; society_id, society_name
My question is how can i make the scenario above reflect in my table structure, would i need to create another table, if so what fields or columns should i place in this new table, thank you.
I'm a VB.net programmer working in an environment that doesn't have a true sql db administrator. We have a situation where we're thinking about adding a new database (db2) with the same Tables used in an existing database (db1). We were hoping to avoid this, but circumstances are forcing us to think about it. Are there any sql tools out there to maintain a dual-db like this? What are the main disadvantages to this?

hi
how can i copy a table structure from a database to another(without bakup)?
Hi,
In SQL Server, Is there any DDL available to copy a table structure alone and not the data,
I believe 'SELECT * into new_table from table1' will copy both structure and data as well.
Please advice,

I need some help with the following scenario. I am creating an app that allows users to take a survey with questions that change dynamically based on the answers that are given to previous questions. I currently have the tables structured as follows:
Table 1 - Questions
QuestionID (Int), Question (NvarChar)
Table 2 - Completed Survey
SurveyID (Int), Question 1(Int), Question 2 (Bit), Question 3(Text)
I don't know of a way to relate Table 2 to Table 1 as shown in the example. This leads to a lot of unneccesary coding on the other side when trying to read data back out of the tables for reporting purposes.
I know I could always switch Table 2 to the following structure:
SurveyID (Int), QuestionID (Int), Answer(???)
But given the fact that the answers can be many datatype's I'm not sure it's the best way to go. Theoretically I'd have to either do a lot of type conversion to text and back, or union multiple tables, 1 for each different datatype.
Does anybody have any suggestions that might make my life easier. Am I missing something simple here???

Hi all
I am developing a site for a client but unfortunately
I havn't much of a clue regarding db/table design.
Scenario:
The client intends to sell window blinds over the internet.
The site has been developed using Asp.Net2 and C# with Server 2005.
I need to develop a price lookup control that has access to 4 parameters:
ManufacturerID (from existing table Products.manufacturerID)
PriceBandID (from existing table Products.PriceBandID)
Width (input by the user)
Drop (input by the user)
The idea being upon button click, the correct price is returned based on those parameters.
The price structure has been given to me in the form of Excel files.
There are around 20 different manufacturers
each with a 7 band (A - G) price matrix.
My question is what would be the most efficient way to represtent
this pricing structure under the current environment?
Will I really need 20 * 7 tables?
Any help, info, advice, pointers, links or comments would be most welcome!
Thanks for your time.
