I've got a sproc that we are migrating from SS2K that uses the reserved keyword 'Pivot'. Best way to replace it. I think it is renameable until the select from TempDB (which is mysterious as I can't see a table in tempDB by that name!!) as below...
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_CreateXtab]
@select varchar(8000),
@sumfunc varchar(100),
@pivot varchar(100),
@table varchar(100),
@SQLOutput varchar(8000) OUTPUT
[code]....
Hi,
We have a table with a column called 'text' Yes, text is a reserved keyword for data type. I can select it 'SELECT text FROM thistable' but when I try to use it in the order clause, 'SELECT text FROM thistable ORDER BY text', I get this error:
'The text, ntext, and image data types cannot be used in an ORDER BY clause'
I know, you're not supposed to used reserved keywords but the person who initially created this didn't know. We would prefer not to change the column name as this would require tons of changes in the code & COM object.
Is there a way to order this column?
Thanks.
The Query:
INSERT INTO Table1
VALUE('this doesn't work')
How can I Insert strings like the one above, into my database?
Does anyone know where I can get a 7.0 reserved word list?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI migrated a SQL7 database to a SQL2000 server by restoring from a backup file. Everything worked fine until we restarted the SQL Service a few days later and suddenly a table named Function caused me much grief
It seems Function is a reserved word in 2000 - but not in SQL 7.
I am guessing the restore fooled the system into thinking it was a SQL7 database until the restart? Anyone have any ideas why else it would have worked just fine for 5 days, then die on a restart of SQL service (not even a reboot!)

Hi, I have got a problem. When I try to access my database table Users, I get the following error:
SELECT permission denied on object 'Users', database 'Users', owner 'dbo'.
So
I tried to grand this select command in MS Web Data Administration, but
it doesnt work. When I try to grand db_datareader role to dbo, I get
the following error
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL
Server]Cannot use the reserved user or role name 'db_datareader'.
Does someone have an idea where could be a problem?
We want to covert all reserved words
in procedures to upper case,any suggestions ?
I have one column name that is: description

Hi there,
I'm trying to recreate a MS-SQL database in MySQL. One particular table has a column names "Precision", a reserved word in MySQL. I woudl really prefer to keep this name if possible as it will be referenced in all sorts of places. I've tried single and double quotes, that didn't work.
Is it possible to use reserveds word as column names? How?
cheers
Dear Friends,I'm running a SQL 2005 database. Lately (in the last 4 months) my database size has grown exponentially and now totals 2.5 gig (it used to be about 100mb). When I run sp_spaceused i get the following info:
Reserved Space 2522MB
Data 450MB
Indexes 215MB
Unused 1856MB
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]-->
The unused space is reserved by my two largest tables, one being 542mb (which is a log I create and the size seems fine for the amount of data) reserving 1033mb and the other being 121mb (which is another log and also seems fine) reserving most of the rest.
I have tried running DBCC SHRINKFILE and DBCC CLEANTABLE commands on a backup copy of the database and cannot seem to free the unused space.
I have also tried copying the database in an attempt to reduce the unused reserved space and have tried creating a new database and importing the tables with no luck
Any help would be greatly appreciated, noting that I'm honestly not that technical and would probably need step by step instructions, but if you only have time to point me in the right direction that would also be of great help!

Hi!
We are encountering an issue of using OLE DB destination with the field name of the table is a reserved word in the database.
The database is DB2 V8 (mainframe). "partition" is one of the reserved word in V8 (It is not in the previous version and the whole thing worked fine).
It errors out when it reaches to the OLE DB destination task to do the insert. It complaints about using the reserved word, "partition". We could use an "OLE DB command" (instead of a to do an OLE DB Destination) with the insert SQL statement explicitly by putting double quote around the field name, partition in the insert statement. It works this way. But We wondered if there is any work around of using a reserved word in OLE DB destination in that case?
Thanks!
I am attempting to define a Transactional Publication with Updateable Subscriptions.
One of the articles in the definition has a column called "insertDate" The attempt fails with"A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user-defined routine or aggregate "sp_MSmakeconflicttable_ sqlclr" System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Column names in each table must be unique. Column name insertdata in table 'conflict_ <Publication Name>_<TableName>' is specified more than onceDoes sp_MSmakeconflicttable_sqlclr attempt to create a derived table with this additional column.
Must I rename my column.Are there any other names I should watch out for (other than the standard reserved keywords).
Here we go,
I have a great question for all of you.
What is the problem in using reserved words in table columns name? Any one have a compeling reason not to use?
Here is an exemple:
/ ******** Table ********/
Entity
EntityId
Name
When you query this table you should use the [ ] like this:
SELECT EntityId,[Name] FROM Entity
Anyone have any objection to this, with actual facts?
The question why use this?
This about the programing object in C#
Entity oneEntity = new Entity();
oneEntity.Name = "Test Entity";
It could be:
oneEntity.EntityName = "Test Entity";
Any one???
I have tried both in sql server 2000 and sql server 2005 the following code:
DECLARE @DOC VARCHAR(100)
DECLARE @HDOC INT
SET @Doc='<datos><texto><![CDATA[lÃnea átona]]></texto></datos>'
EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @HDOC OUTPUT, @DOC
SELECT * FROM OPENXML(@HDOC,'datos',2) WITH (texto nvarchar(50))
I always get an error 6603 in SQL2000 and 6602+8179 in SQL2005, wich means it can't parse the 'Ã' and 'á' characters, though they are in a CDATA.
I have tried with <,>,@ characters and it works fine.
I have also tried using 'á' and 'í' without CDATA but I get the same message:
DECLARE @DOC VARCHAR(100)
DECLARE @HDOC INT
SET @Doc='<datos><texto><línea átona></texto></datos>'
EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @HDOC OUTPUT, @DOC
SELECT * FROM OPENXML(@HDOC,'datos',2) WITH (texto nvarchar(50))
Please can anyone help me - I am trying to establish whether there are any reserved symbols in SQL passwords
eg % £ " $ ( / < * etc
The SQL BOL has a list of reserved words but I cannot find a list of reserved symbols.
We have a problem where by for example if the main part of the password is "test" and my user wants to add a punctuation mark into this we get "You are attempting to use an invalid character message"
Specifically
"test$" is accepted "$test" is not accepted
None of "te+st" "+test" "test+" are accepted.
Has anyone else come across this and found a list of the logic that produces these results so I can point my users in the right direction?
Cheers
Hey guys,
I have a table which has 6 text columns (tblA).. I no longer require 1 of those text columns and want to reclaim the space that it is currently taking up..
Is the only way to BCP out all the data (except the 1 column i no longer require) drop the column and BCP the data back into the table?
Hi,
I haven't found anything that shows that "sample" is a reserved word in SQL 2000. However when I enter it in Query Analyzer, the color changes to blue, as it is a transact-sql word. However, I'm still able to create a table called sample or name the column.
Does anybody know why query analyzer recognizes it as a transact-sql/reserverd word??
Thanks in advance,
Jorge
In on of the server tempdb is not releasing the reserved space after completion of data loads,as of now 99% of free space available in data file,we tried to shrink the datafile ,and space has not been released.
View 7 Replies View RelatedHello all,
I have a database that supports two different applications.
For arguments sake I'll call them "intelligent app" and "clueless app"
The client that provided me the schema for the clueless app used reserved words as field names.
The words used are:
value, state, and time
I explained to the client that modifying them could prevent current/future issues.
The client is an "oracle" db (and in my mind should know better but .....) and responded back to me with the following:
BEGIN QUOTE
They are not currently reserved and there is no guarantee they will ever be reserved. In fact, the SQL server line eliminates as many words from the reserved list as they add with new releases. There are other words on the
possible future reserved keyword list that I do not wish to avoid either unless forced to some day, like depth, size, class, zone, level and others.
END QUOTE
Now for the assistance request, where can I find the documented ramifications of using reserved words?
I want to have my documentation (and my ducks lined up) when this clients portion of the app fails.
Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hi i have 2 cols
col1 col2
A1 21
A2 22
A3 21
A4 23
I want to create a report such that i should see all values of col1 but in col2 i want to show only value of 21 and the remaining should be zero.
So basically all the other values except 21 should be zero in the report but should not be updated in the database.
So the report should look like
col1 col2
A1 21
A2 0
A3 21
A4 0
can you please tell me how to do that

Hi,Is it possible to do from one script? We have a set of user's tables like"tbl%". We can get this list very easy using this script:SELECT name FROM sysobjects WHERE xtype = 'U' AND name LIKE 'tbl%' ORDER BYname;We need to change some column names if these names are in a special listthat we have. What can we do? Use FOR EACH ROW? Or what?So, I need to get a column list for each table and check if every columnname is equal to one of the names from the list and then if YES replace itby something or add some symbol to this name. Terrible or possible?Regards,Dmitri

Hi all,
We are trying to migrate a SQL Server 2005 database/schema onto SQL CE. The original SQL Server 2005 schema uses views. And VIEWs are not supported on SQL CE. What can we use as an alternative?
Here are the option I can think of:
Use Tables instead of views : We are currently using this approach. But the disadvantage is that data remains on the DB. We need to clean and reuse the table everytimeCan we use a DataSet or DataTable instead? Any sample code available?
Can we replace them by some in-memory data structure?

Hi,
I would like to replace all instances of a code that starts with 'GEM' with the word 'Perfect'', and all instances of the code that starts with 'GOLD' replaced with 'Imperfect'.
For example, if I have a table named STONES, and a field within the table STONES.Code contained codes such as 'GEMPART4000', 'GEMPART5000', 'GOLDSIDE2300' and 'GOLDSIDE3000', I want to return the first two codes as the words 'Perfect' for each and the last two codes with the word 'Imperfect' for each.
Similarly, how would it be written so I could select a middle part of the code to use as the trigger to replace the code with something different, e.g. if I wanted to use the 'PART' from the first two codes?
I have discovered that the REPLACE and CASE functions don't work with % (so I am looking for any code that starts with what I stipulate but can end with anything (or using it on either side of the middle part of the code)).
Any help would really be appreciated please.
Hi Guys,
I am faced with a problem that is giving me headaches. I have t1, t2 and t3. I t1 I have students that have a reference to t2 which are the schools they belong to. The problem arises when I see that there is redundancy in t2. There more records for the same schools. This was posible in giving the same school (postcode and name make it the same school) a different ID. In t3 I removed these redundant schools by using fuzzy grouping.
My problem is I want to ensure that the students are put using the schools from t3 instead of t2. So what I need to do is is to replace the redundant id from t2 with the correct id from t3.
Please help. Thans in advance
