Is there a way in SQL server to alias column names for a particular table and store the aliases somewhere such that you can access the aliases while querying? I have a table where I cannot change column names and I am trying to figure out if there is a way to alias them to make them more user friendly.
View 2 RepliesIn a stored procedure I dynamically create a temp table by selecting the name of Applications from a regular table. Then I add a date column and add the last 12 months. See attachment.
So far so good. Now I want to update the data in columns by querying another regular table. Normally it would be something like:
UPDATE ##TempTable
SET [columName] = (SELECT SUM(columName)
FROM RegularTable
WHERE FORMAT(RegularTable.Date,'MM/yyyy') = FORMAT(##TempMonths.x,'MM/yyyy'))
However, since I don't know what the name of the columns are at any given time, I need to do this dynamically.
how can I get the column names of a Temp table dynamically while doing an Update?
How do I add column names as Total and SubTotal for NULL values.
SELECT DISTINCT
--[Group]
[Month]
,[Market]
,[Environment]
,[type]
, COUNT(*)

Hi,
I'm trying to write a SQL event (view or storied proceedure). I have a table that is meant for reporting....the data is arranged verticle. I deal in Fiscal Years ie 2006/2007, 2007/2008, ect. The table in question has generic column lables ie FY1, FY2. I'm writing a report off the table and I want to dynamically turn FY1 into the current FiscalYear, FY2 into current FiscalYear + 1. I tried:
SELECT dbo.tblBudgetConfig.CurrentBudgetYear, dbo.tblBudgetProjectedCurrent.FY4 AS Left ([dbo.tblbudgetConfig.CurrentBudgetYear],4)+3 & "/" & Right([dbo.tblbudgetConfig.CurrentBudgetYear],4)+3
FROM dbo.tblBudgetConfig INNER JOIN
dbo.tblBudgetProjectedCurrent ON dbo.tblBudgetConfig.CurrentBudgetYear = dbo.tblBudgetProjectedCurrent.CurrentBudgetYear
But SQL squawks everytime I try this and tells me that there is something a miss near 'Left'.
Any help will be appreciated.
Is there a performance hit if I use CAPITOL LETTERS (like this) in column names for my SQL Server tables? Logically I would think that lower case letters would have better performance because they are smaller characters and easier to store.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a field in a table that contains a different formula (varchar(1000)) for each record. It's along the lines of something like this, although each formula is different: ([ColumnA] - [ColumnB])/([ColumnC] - [ColumnD]). I plug that into a dynamic SQL statement so that it can get executed in a select statement.
Due to the variations of the formulas, checking for Divide by Zero, etc, we want to move this to a .NET method. We'd like to replace "ColumnA" and "ColumnB", etc., with the actual values so that we're passing something like (5-3)/(6-2). I haven't been able to figure out a way to do this without actually executing it. We don't want to pass the solution, but the equation filled with the actual values rather than the column names.
hi all,
can any body help me on creating alias of SQL Server using script.
thanks in advance

Hi
I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how we could find the table names and column names of the tables in our Sql server database at runtime/dynamically given our connection string? Please let me know.
Thanks.

I need to ensure some naming standards to users while creating tables.
All table name should be in same pattern
(ie., ) TeamName_EmpId_tablename
I need a way to restrict user to follow the naming standard. If any user tries to create table without the above naming standard system should not allow.
how to find the names of the tables owned by the particular user in sql server and how to display the distinct object types owned by the particular user.

I am trying to replace names found in 'xml' field name as hyperlinks, by matching with the names in database_tags.I am using the following function below, however the UDF is only recognizing one name from the XML fieldname data, instead of all the names present in the XML data.
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[ReplaceTags](@XML VARCHAR(MAX))
RETURNS VARCHAR(MAX)

BEGIN

for example, if the XML input data is the following: It consists of: BANKP, BCJA, BCJAM, BFTH, BFTH, and EMPOP.But the updated function is only recognizing two of names BFTH, BFTH, as hyperlinks, from the database_tags table.Is there a way to get the function to recognize more than one names as hyperlinks.

We have a hierarchical table of some 2-3k of rows that grows slowly at only 3-5 rows a month, and is never likely to be above 5k, holding file/directory names with an IdParent int value pointing at that items immediate parent or NULL if root
Below is a sample:
Id Name IdParent
1 C: NULL
2 D: NULL
3 ProgramFiles 1
4 DataFiles 2
5 Excel.EXE 3
6 MyDataList.CSV 4
iterative code required to achieve the result I am looking for is best handled in the Application layer, but in this case the design brief is that we must get our results back as a View. Speed of execution and code clarity are secondary 'icing on the cake' issues.
I have tried recursive CTE's and XML FOR solutions but without success, and while I feel the latter is probably the best all rounder the searches I have made and the examples I have read do not seem to solve this particular issue.
Even to find the starting point of the search tree (i.e. the .EXE and the .CSV items) was difficult because the final slash is optional in some of the rows (.e. row 4)
The end result of my view on the above data should return:
Id FilePath
5 C:ProgramFilesExcel.EXE
6 D:DataFilesMyDataList.CSV (note the adding of the missing delimiter between DataFiles and MyDataList)

Hi,
I brought two databases from 65(server1) to 70(server2). Both the servers are having different sort order and character set. So i just generated a script in 65(server1) , and ran the same script in 70 at server2. SO i got all the user objects, permissions and required logins.
But i didn't see the aliases in 70(server2). I have lot of users defined as aliases in 65(server1). SO anyone suggest me how i have to get those aliases. I observer all aliases are having dbo permissions in65(server1).
So i checked all roles including db_owner role in server2(70), but no use.
pls suggest me how i have to get aliases in 70. i know there is no alias concept in 70.
Thank you.

I have a student table like this studentid, schoolID, previousschoolid, gradelevel.
I would like to load this table every day from student system.
During the year, the student could change schoolid, whenever there is a change, I would put current records schoolid to the previous schoolid column, and set the schoolid as the newschoolid from student system.
My question in my merge statement something like below
Merge into student st
using (select * from InputStudent ins)
on st.id=ins.studentid
When matched then update
set st.schoolid=ins.schoolid
, st.previouschoolid= case when (st.schoolid<>ins.schoolid) then st.schoolid
else st.previouschoolid
end
, st.grade_level=ins.grade_level
;
My question is since schoolid is et at the first line of set statement, will the second line still catch what is the previous schoolid?
URGENT HELP NEEDED ASAP!!! In 6.5, you could alias a login as dbo. How do I do this in 7.0?? When assigning ownership to a login, it creates tables with that login as owner rather than dbo as owner. In the online books, info is given about running the sp_addalias in order to do this but my login already has a login name assigned to it in the master databases. Does this have to be updated to dbo before the sp can be run??? Why can't I assign dbo as the loginname when I create the login like in 6.5???
View 4 Replies View RelatedHello all,
When I assign an alias name for a table in a select statement, how can I use it after the select statement is executed. I want to accomplish somewhat Like this:-
Declare @name as varchar(20)
Select TOP 1 * from Table1 t1 -- Making sure it returns only one record
Set @name = t1.[Name]
When I do this i get the following error :-
The column prefix 't1' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query.
Here I would like to get the result set as well as access the values in the result set. By doing this I dont have to execute the Select statement two times for better performance. Is there any way to accomplish this? or in SQL Server are we restricted to such a behavior.
Any input is highly appreciated,
TIA,

I'm going to be setting up DB mirroring between two SQL Server 2005 boxes. Since these are on two different servers, can the instance names be the same? Is there any reason NOT to do so if the mirror server is going to be used exclusively for DB mirroring?
For example: if the my primary DB is located on SERVER1INSTANCE1, can the mirror be SERVER2INSTANCE1 or do the instance names have to be different even though they're on different boxes.
Thanks!
