Hi, I am trying to get all the databases from MS SQL into a dropdownlist. However, I am not sure how to do that in query ... is there a way to retrieve all databases name using a query in MS SQL? Thanks.
View 1 RepliesI don't know why this is so difficult. What I want to do is take a table name as a parameter to build a query and get an integer value from the result of the query. But from all of the research I have been doing, Dynamic SQL is bad in SQL server because of SQL Injections. But my users are not going to be supplying the table names.
Things I have learned:
- SQL Functions cannot use Exec to execute query strings.
- SQL Functions can return a concatenated string that could be used by a stored procedure to Exec the query string.
So how can I write a stored procedure that will
1. take a parameter
2. Pass the parameter to a function that will return a string
3. Execute that string as SQL
4. Get a return value from that SQL statement
5. Then finally, from a View, how can I pass a parameter to the stored procedure and get the returned value from the stored procedure to be used as a field in the View?
Numbers 3, 4, and 5 are where I am really stuck. I guess I don't know the proper syntax and limitations of SQL Server.
Howdy all,I'm wishing to write a stored proc to return only the field names from a table. What I've tried gets the field names but also returns all of the data in each row. I only want the field names. Is this possible?Thanks!JP

I need to check whether procedure found any matches or not. If not it has to return the column name where matching value was not found. For example, if there was no record found in the table "Addresses" column "customer" with the value @username, it should return "street". If id with value @prod_id was not found in the table "Products", the "productname" must be returned as well.
CREATE PROC sp_test
@id INT,
@username VARCHAR(50),
@prod_id INT
AS
SELECT name FROM Customers WHERE id=@id
SELECT street FROM Addresses WHERE customer=@username
SELECT productname FROM Products WHERE id=@prod_id
It is kind of check, which has to find out if users have inserted all the necessary values or not.
Thanks for any advice.
Is there a query or sp that I can pull all databases on the server along with their logical file names and physical file names?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have multiple databases in the server and all my databases have tables: stdVersions, stdChangeLog. The stdVersions table have field called DatabaseVersion which stored the version of the database. The stdChangeLog table have a field called ChangedOn which stored the date of any change made in the database.
I need to write a query/stored procedure/function that will return all the database names, version and the date changed on. The results should look something like this:
DatabaseName DatabaseVersion DateChangedOn
OK5_AAGLASS 5.10.1.2 2015/01/12
OK5_SHOPRITE 5.9.1.6 2015/01/10
OK5_SALDANHA 5.10.1.2 2014/12/23
The results should be ordered by DateChangedOn.

I am trying to retrieve the user names of all users within a database. The problem is, that I have only created a login within SQL 7.0 for the NT group that the users belong to.
As such, when I try to query the syslogins table I only get the NT group.
Is there any way of retrieving the users that belong to this NT group.
Any help or suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Karl

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
How canI get all field names in a table using sql query? Now I am not interested in the data in this table, what I am interested in is just the schema, i.e. all field names. Thanks.
Hello All,
I have been trying to get this code work, but I could not. Every thing seems going well. However, The result of running the sql query is strange. It shows the field names twice.
Eg:) if you have a table called "newtable" that has two fields[Custnumber, Custname], you will get somthing like this [Custnumber, Custname Custnumber, Custname]. I have tried many times, but I couldn't fix it.
Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) handles Mybase.Load
if not page.Ispostback then
try
Sqlconnection = New Sqlconnection (connectionString)
querystring = "SELECT COLUMN_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNs
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'Newtable'"
SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(queryString, Sqlconnection)
SqlConnection.Open
dataReader = SqlCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
while dataReader.Read()
Tablefields_txt.text += dataReader.Getstring(0) & ", "
End while
catch ex as Exception
msgbox("An error has occured: " + ex.Message,0, "Error Message")
finally
SqlConnection.Close()
End try
End if

I have two different tables... one for all Staff, and another for all Temp Staff. I need both to output to a datagrid, and so I need to grab both tables from a SQL query to output to my datagrid, but I can't seem to get the logic right for it to work. Can someone give me some suggestions on why my results are blank when I'm running this query? I thought a simple join would allow both sets of identical column names to coexist in peace...SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT dbo.StaffDirectory.UserName, dbo.StaffDirectory.LastName, dbo.StaffDirectory.FirstName, dbo.StaffDirectory.Dept, dbo.StaffDirectory.Title, dbo.StaffDirectory.EMail, dbo.StaffDirectory.LocationFROM dbo.StaffDirectory INNER JOIN dbo.TempStaff ON dbo.StaffDirectory.Location = dbo.TempStaff.Location AND dbo.StaffDirectory.EMail = dbo.TempStaff.Email AND dbo.StaffDirectory.Title = dbo.TempStaff.Title AND dbo.StaffDirectory.Dept = dbo.TempStaff.Dept AND dbo.StaffDirectory.FirstName = dbo.TempStaff.FName AND dbo.StaffDirectory.LastName = dbo.TempStaff.LName AND dbo.StaffDirectory.UserName = dbo.TempStaff.UName AND dbo.StaffDirectory.MDNo = dbo.TempStaff.MDNoIs something wrong here? It just doesn't work =(Any suggestions would be really appreciated.Thank you

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having a bit of a trouble explaining what I'm trying to do here.
I have 3 "source" tables and a "connecting" table that I'm going to use
tblContacts - with contactID, ContactName etc
tblGroups - with GroupID, GroupName
tblSubGroups - with SubGroupID, GroupID and SubGroupName (groupID is the ID for the parent Group from tblGroups)
They are related in a table called
tblContactsGroupConnection - with ContactID, GroupID and SubGroupID
One contact can be related to many subgroups.
What I want is a list of all contacts, with their IDs, names and what groups they are related to:
ContactID, ContactName, [SubGroupName1, SubGroupName2, SubGroupName3]
ContactID, ContactName, [SubGroupName1, SubGroupName3]
ContactID, ContactName, [SubGroupName3]
I'm sure there's a simple solution to this, but I can't find it. Any help appreciated. :)
