Mind Boggling / How Can You Query Self Referencing Tables? (self Referencing Foreign Keys)
Jun 15, 2006For example, the table below, has a foreign key (ManagerId) that points to EmployeeId (primary key) of the same table.
-------Employees table--------
EmployeeID . . . . . . . . . . int
Name . . . . . . . . . . . nvarchar(50)
ManagerID . . . . . . . . . . . int
If someone gave you an ID of a manager, and asked you to get him all employee names who directly or indirectly report to this manager.
How can that be achieved?

Renaming Tables In MSDE
Jun 2, 2005Hi! I'm trying to rename tables in a msde database, without succeeding. Simple question, I guess, but I can't find out how to do this. I know this doesn't work though:--- Dim connectionString As String = "server='(local)'; trusted_connection=true; database='GustafTest1'"Dim cn As System.Data.IDbConnection = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionString)Dim dbCommand As System.Data.IDbCommand = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
cn.Open()
Dim queryString As String = "RENAME TABLE table1 TO table2" '"ALTER TABLE [table1] RENAME TO [table2]"
dbCommand.CommandText = queryString dbCommand.Connection = cndbCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()---The reason to why I want to do this is that I'm updating the information of my system, and store the new data in a temporary table during update, in case something goes wrong. If the storing goes alright, the newly loaded the old table is renamed to backup_table and the temporary table is renamed from updating_table to active_table.That is a good solution, right?Thanx,Jon Engström, Sweden
Problem Renaming Tables With SQL
May 10, 1999Hello,
I have a situation where I'm coding a database upgrade utility for my current project in Java. I have to rename the current version of each table to tablename_orig and then create the new version of the table from a text file which contains a create table statement. Once the new table is created, I compare the table definitions and do a bunch of other stuff. The problem is that I don't seem to be able to find a way to rename the table through SQL. I know that in Oracle I can use a Create Synonym statement, but how can I rename tables for SQL Server? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Renaming Membership Provider Tables
Nov 15, 2007Hi, this might be a newbie question as I don't know too much about databases.My web host only lets me have 1 database, so I am trying to rename all the tables with a prefix, then import them to the server. I'm using MsSql-2005, VWD, Management Studio Express.My error when I run the .sql script is:Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedure vw_aspnet_MembershipUsers, Line 3Invalid object name 'dbo.aspnet_Membership'.Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedure vw_aspnet_Users, Line 3Invalid object name 'dbo.aspnet_Users'.Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedure vw_aspnet_Profiles, Line 3Invalid object name 'dbo.aspnet_Profile'....I suspect that it is because I renamed the "aspnet_Membership" table to "Company1_aspnet_Membership" (I made a database diagram, then renamed the aspnet tables in Properties). Has anyone run into this before? Does anyone know how to fix it?
View 5 Replies View RelatedProblem With Delete Cascade For Self-referencing Tables
Jul 20, 2001Hi,
I have a self-referencing table, something like Emlplyee-Manager. I want to implement the cascading delete in this table. So when I delete a manager than all the employees should be deleted at ANY level below the manager.
I do not have DRI for the Foreignkey (manager)!!!
My problem is that the trigger fires only one time (for the "sons") and not for the "grandsons" and below.
I've used the following flags:
- nested triggers (in "SQL Server Properies", "Server settings" tabsheet)
- recursive triggers (database "Properties", "Options" tabsheet)
I've combined this 2 flags:
1. nested flag reset and recursive flag reset
2. nested flag reset and recursive flag set or
3. nested flag set and recursive flag reset
4. nested flag set and recursive flag set
The results are the following:
-for case 1, 2 and 3 the same results: the trigger fires just for the first level (the sons are deleted but the grandsons remains there orphan)
-for case 4 I have the following error message:
"Maximum stored procedure nesting level exceeded (limit 32)"
so I can't delete anything at all.
Any idea why the trigger doesn't fire for "grandsons" and below?
Could be that this above mentioned flags doesn't works for self-referencing tables ?
Thanks in advance
Stored Procedure Referencing Moved Tables
Mar 12, 2001Hi everyone
I am totally confused, please help me. I am new to this
I am trying to split one DB (A) into two databases original (A) and new-Blank(B) by moving some tables from DB (A) to the new DB (B) however some of the tables has FK and Stored procedures referencing other tables that need to stay in DB (B), The questions are
1. after scritping these tables while they are in DB (A), and runing the script in DB (B) to re-create them, do I delete these table from DB (A), and the FK that references them.
2. What shall I do with the stored procedures. Turn them into trigers or else if turn them into trigers, in which DB should the triggers run (DB A of DB B),if these are becoming triggers do I delete the stored procedures from DB (A)
Any reply is appreciated
Referencing Tables In Nested Select Statements
Mar 3, 2008I'm just wodnering if you have two select statements, one nested inside another, can you reference tables from the outer loop?
for example, say I would like to find all employees who have at least two clients and employees and clients have a one to many relationship.
select *
from Employee e
where
(
select count(*)
from Clients c
where c.EmployeeId = e.EmployeeId
) >= 2
This obviously doesn't work - but how would i go about doing something like this?
View Referencing Multiple Tables Not Updatable ?
Jun 7, 2006Hi
This is for Sql Server 2000.
I get the following error :
View or function 'PS_EMPLOYMENT' is not updatable because the modification affects multiple base tables.
Sql is as follows:
INSERT INTO PS_EMPLOYMENT(EMPLID,EMPL_RCD,PER_ORG,BENEFIT_RCD_NBR,HOME_HOST_CLASS,OWN_5PERCENT_CO,
SECURITY_CLEARANCE,NEE_PROVIDER_ID,POSITION_PHONE,BUSINESS_TITLE,REPORTS_TO,
SUPERVISOR_ID)
VALUES('000004', 0, ' ', 0, 'M', 'N', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ')
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Searching the KB i only found links to SP1 and SP3, the server is already at SP3.
BOL says the following:
SQL Server 6.x :
Updatable views were restricted to modifications that affected only one table
SQL Server 2000:
Updatable views can modify more than one table involved in the view. The DELETE, INSERT, and UPDATE statements can reference a view as long as SQL Server can translate the user's update request unambiguously to updates in the base tables referenced in the view's definition.
So why can this view not be updated in SS2000 SP3 ?
Here is a copy of the view defintion:
ALTER VIEW PS_EMPLOYMENT
(EMPLID, EMPL_RCD, PER_ORG, BENEFIT_RCD_NBR, HOME_HOST_CLASS, LAST_DATE_WORKED, HIRE_DT, REHIRE_DT,

Disable Automatic Renaming Of Source Tables By View Editor?

selects the DB row with an ID that equals a querystring value.... So I
know I am only selecting one row..Now I want to create a little

value of it to a textbox on my page or a variable if I need to... Any
idea how I actually reference the fields via the SQLDataSource in a

Referencing Sql In IF THEN ELSE Statement
Mar 13, 2007The Background:
From page 1 a search is created and this value is converted to a querystring and given the name "id=" and passed to page 2. Page 2 then does a lookup in the sql 2000 db useing this querystring.
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ListingDBConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT [ID], [CompName], [Package] FROM [CDetails] WHERE ([ID] = @ID)">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:QueryStringParameter Name="ID" QueryStringField="id" Type="Int32" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
The Problem:
What I then need to do is an IF THEN ELSE statement.
IF [Package in SQL1] = 4 Then
Package 4
IF [Package in SQL1] = 3 Then
Package 3
Only how do I reference the sql value in the if statement.
I have tried
<%IF Eval("Package") = 4 Then %> and with Bind - No good
Image Referencing
May 4, 2008Hi all, How do I return pictures along with my search results? For example, I have a shoe database and for the results I would like one column to hold a picture of the shoe (the other columns hold Brand, Name, Price, etc) The way I am looking at implementing this is by referencing the image and retrieving it from the server. I'm a bit lost on how to do this though. Any help? Thanks in advance,Nick
View 4 Replies View RelatedSelf-referencing Table
Sep 1, 2007Hi,
I'm using MS SQL 2005 Express.
CREATE TABLE Folder (
iD int NOT NULL IDENTITY (1, 1) PRIMARY KEY,
folderName varchar(50) NOT NULL,
parentFolderID int NULL
FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES Folder (iD)
)
GO
if I add an ON DELETE CASCADE to the foreign key, then i get an error... which is annoying. If a folder is deleted, then all its sub-folders should also be automatically deleted.
The error is: 'Introducing FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK__Folder__parentFo__7D78A4E7' on table 'Folder' may cause cycles or multiple cascade paths. Specify ON DELETE NO ACTION or ON UPDATE NO ACTION, or modify other FOREIGN KEY constraints.'
Anyone got any advice?

Trigger Referencing
Nov 28, 2007
I'm setting up a trigger that will fire off an email explaining that this entry has been updated, however I need a reference to the updated row so I only send that bit of information off.
Heres my code thus far:
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[completeCreation2]
ON [Database_Test].[dbo].[Projects]
AFTER UPDATE
AS
-- SEND EMAIL
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
@profile_name = 'Administration',
@recipients = 'email@email.com',
@body = 'A new project has been created view details of the project below:',
@subject = 'Project Created',
@body_format = 'TEXT',
@importance = 'High',
@query = 'Select * FROM updated';
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
END
I thought the select From updated would work but it doesn't I need a reference for that line, select * FROM _____.
Thanks

Referencing Result Set
Nov 20, 2007Hi
This is probably a noob question. In reference to my previous post about OLE DB and variables, I need to copy the whole result set to a table. i tried
Code Block
exec('insert into '+@tableName+' ('+@ColumnNames+') '+@curTableResult)
where @tableName is the table name, @ColumnNames are the column names and @curTableResult is the Result set produced by the Execute SQL statement before. Obviously didnt work.
How do I copy the Result set to a table?
Thanks

Referencing Variables By Name
Nov 8, 2007Hi there everyone,
A quick question. How do I reference variables (system and user) in SSIS by name instead of by just using a "?". The reason why I'm asking is because I'm trying to log what happens in a package to SQL, and if I cannot reference a variable by name it tries to insert variable values into incorrect fields?
An example of the code I'm trying to use can be found below:
Code Block
UPDATE dbo.History_Control_Table
SET
End_Date = GetDate()
, Result = 'Success'
, Status = NULL
, No_Of_Records_Processed = ? --This is where I want to tell it which variable to use
, Package_Name = ?
, No_Of_Records_Rejected = ?
--etc etc etc
WHERE
Package_Name = ?
AND Task_Name = 'Deals_Fact_Stg'
AND Status = 'Running'
Thanks in advance.

Foreign Key NOT Referencing PK
Sep 18, 2006This book 'MS SQL Server 2000 Bible' says the following:
'The foreign key can reference primary keys, unique constraints, or unique indexes of any table'
I've never heard of this before, I thought that the FK always established referential integrity by referencing the PK in the parent table. Does anyone have a further explanation of this?
thx,
