DTS: Re-Naming Package
Jan 2, 2001I am using SQL Server 7 w/ SP2. This may seem silly, but I'm trying to re-name a DTS local package -- so far without success. Surely there's a way to do this. Also, where is DTS info stored? That is, how does SQL Server store package names and other details? Thanks!

Sep 28, 2007Hello, I have 2 tables: Articles and Users. These 2 tables are related by AuthorId (FK) in Articles and UserId (PK) in Users. My question is: should the use the same name for the 2 keys, i.e., UserId? Or it is normal to use AuthorId in Articles table and UserId in Users table. This makes more sense. Just a naming question. Thanks, Miguel

Jun 18, 2006What does everyone think of this method?I have a ton of tables like User, Project etc. I use the SAME column names for each table. For an example, ID, Name, Status etc instead of UserID etc.Only for relationship naming will I use UserID.The reason I do this is from a OOP perspective.My dad often said that a table was a entitiy of an object and each record in the table was a instance of that object.

May 3, 2005I have a function which is named like this:
CREATE FUNCTION [GEEKASPNET.Split]
How can I use it in my stored procedure:
UPDATE Tasks SET Status = 0
WHERE TaskID IN (SELECT CONVERT(int, Value) FROM [GEEKASPNET].Split(@Tasks,","))
This does not work and gives me that "unreconized function GeekASPNET.Split

Naming Convention
May 8, 2006Would like to know what naming convention you folks use.
What I need specifically is column naming conventions.
For instance, I have a table called 'lst_as400_srvr'. We could go with the vigorous:
CREATE TABLE lst_as400_srvr
(
as400_srvr_idintNOT NULLIDENTITY,
as400_srvr_namevarchar(128)NOT NULL,
as400_srvr_is_activebitNOT NULLDEFAULT 1
)
Or, I could loosen the rules a bit and go with:
CREATE TABLE lst_as400_srvr
(
idintNOT NULLIDENTITY,
namevarchar(128)NOT NULL,
is_activebitNOT NULLDEFAULT 1
)
I would lean towards the vigorous because it would be very obvious what data is being referenced by the name. In the loosened version, I could very easily have many tables with a 'id' column or a 'is_active' column.
Inversely, I would lean towards the loosened version because the names are a lot shorter and, thus, easier / faster to type.
I figure, if I'm going to learn a new standard, now's a good time to do so.
So, thoughts? Appreciate the help folks. :)
SQL Database Naming
Jul 18, 2007I'm creating a new database for an application that I wish to sell in the future. When we sell it the client will have the option to host is or have us host it. I want to create a name for the database that doesn't describe what the product is. I also want to be able to create new databases if we host it and those names be of a similar convention or subject. I was thinking each would be a Greek god, galaxy names or something along those lines. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,

May 3, 2007I'm coming from a MS Access background and so I'm very used to andcomfortable with the hungarian (Leszynski et al) naming conventions.However, I'm getting started into my first SQL Server Database andreally want to use the appropriate up to date standard namingconvention (ISO compliant).I think I have the general idea from raking though countlessconflicting sites and posts, but I'm a bit stuck on what to doregarding pk / fk namingFor example, in my MS Access world I would have two tables:tblOrders=======strOrderIDintCustomerIDdtOrderDate....tblCustomers==========intCustomerIDstrCustomerName....So what would the appropriate and most up-to-date and standard namingbe for SQL Server? My Guess:Orders=====Ord_Order_ID_PkOrd_Customer_ID_FkOrd_Order_Date....Customers========Cus_Customer_ID_PkCus_Customer_Name....How close (or far) am I from "Celko Proof" naming here?All help gratefully accepted!

Oct 4, 2007When I schedule a DTS package as a Job and then look in the job step detail I am presented with the following line.
DTSRun /~Z0x3A2210EB05CE1F9968C82E............etc
This number means nothing to me and I presume it might be encoded or encrypted.
If I wanted to be sure that this code actually relates to the correct DTS package how can I check.
Is there a specific table that will hold that code that will relate it to the DTS package??

I am trying to name a new SQL table, but I keep receiving a message that a table with this name already exists in the database.

Any clues would be appreciated, thanks !
Dynamic Table Naming From Sp
Sep 22, 2000Does anyone know if it is possible to create dynamically named tables from within a stored procedure? The goal is to append a unique identifier on the end of an otherwise static table name to allow for multiple incarnations of the table to exist concurrently while not interfering with each other. For example, we would like to create and use a temp table that is suffixed with a login name to or a timestamp to make it unique.
Is this possible?
Naming Standards For SQL Objects

View 1 Replies View RelatedCluster: Instance Naming
Sep 3, 2007Hi all
SQL Server 2005 cluster. Active-Active. We want to create two instances. The two nodes are named:
mike-940-01
mike-940-02
I read somewhere that there can only be ONE default instance in a 2005 cluster. So I interpret that as meaning that I can only have one instance named after a virtual server (example: mike-940-03) and the other instance has to be a slashed instance (example: mike-940-03/instance1). But what if I create another virtual server (example: mike-940-04). Can I install a default instance in that server? Can someone help me clarify this?
Also, if I'm using all slashed instance names, then what does it choose as the base name before the slash? In other words, what decides which virtual server name is used? Is it the management node? Is it one of the nodes?
My objective is to keep consistency in the naming on the cluster. If I have to use slashed instances, then I want all sql server instances to have a slash.
Sorry about the confusing explanation, but that's probably a symptom of MY confusion.
Thanks!

Feb 14, 2008Is there a good way to name tables that are used as lookup tables? If you have a table for movies and you think that a movie can be in more than one genre. Then you will have tables like the following.
a table for movies, table 1
id name ...
1 Scarface
a table for the movie genres, table 2
id name ...
1 action
2 mafia
a table that links the genres to the movies, table 3
id table 1 id table 2 id
1 1 1
2 1 2
Table 1 is no problem. I name it movie.
Table 2 is the genres. I name it movie_genres.
Table 3 specifies the genres for a specific movie so I name it movie_genres. Duh, already taken.
This is just an example and perhaps not the best. What should I call my to genre tables?

Jun 16, 2006When I try to Add New Item - Database in VS C# Express, I get "An error has occurred while establishing a conncection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 25 - Connection string is not valid)"
When I open the management studio, I can connect to a database named Dev, and when I try to "Browse for more" from the server selector combobox, it is the only one found. I believe "Dev" was my old MSDE name, although this is also what my "Computer Name" is set to. Unfortunetly the setup of SQL Express didn't ask me what to name my instance.
I thought maybe the SQL Server 2005 Express Toolkit installation didn't actually contain the server software, and only installed the tools, as during the installation the section where I select components only listed things like client tools and what not, with not mention of the server software.
So I thought maybe it didn't install the server, so I downloaded the server installation that is by itself, and installed it, this time I saw the check for hide advanced options, so I went through the advanced options this time. I've have been through this same setup before at work, and both times it has confused me. It seems very different from installing previous versions of SQL server.
Where I choose to create a new instance or upgrade, I choose to upgade, and it is not clear what I'm upgrading, the selector does not display instance names.
At another point it asks me about configuring it to use the Local service, local system, or network account. The documentation of how these differ is vauge. For example, the network account is described basically as "don't use this" without saying what it is.
I was accustomed to just a local account, and network account settings from previous versions, and network was always the logical choice for me to use intergrated security. I don't understand what the new catagories represent and what will be functionally different in the way I connect.
So I'm really confused, and getting back to the instance names. In the surface area configuration as well as the VS Express, it only sees the name as MSSQLSERVER
For example if I "add new connection" from database explorer and click advanced, the datasource drop down lists only ".MSSQLSERVER"
So I'm thoroughly confused at this point and not sure what to do.
Variables In The Four Naming Conventions
Apr 27, 2006Hi
I am running SQL Server 2000 and have two different databases with different names on two different machines.
The servers (machines) are linked and I want to use a single set of stored procedures on both databases.
I want to know if and how I can use variables in the four naming conventions in a stored procedure. This way I do not have to write an if statement and rewrite the code for each database.
Example:
Select * from SERVER_A.DATABASE_1.dbo.CENSUS
Eventually, I want SERVER_A and DATABASE_1 to become the variables that will change depending on which database that is being requested.
Any help would be appreciated.
