Using the scripting wizard in SQL Server 2005 database engine, I have been able to script all my DDL out to a flat file which is great; however, when I scripts for instance all views I would like to have the script in alphabetical order by view name, is there a value I can set to accomplish this?
Thanks
In SQL 2000, when you generated an SQL script for a database, it was logical and the tables in the script were in alphabetical order. In SQL 2005 they are all mixed up. Am I missing something?
Thanks

Hello
I know how I can display a list of names in alphebetical order on my website:
Select L as [Last Name]
From Name_CatEWhere Education = 'yes'Order ByLName ASC
However, to make things a little more orginised I would like to view my database table column in alphabetical order also, but ithie code does not work within my database.
What do I need to change in the following code, to view my database table column in a-z order?
SELECT LName FROM Name_CatEORDER BY LName ASC
Thanks

Hi All,
Can any tell me how to generate the Script file in SQL 2005.

Is it possible to have a DateTime field in a row automatically generated when a row is created?
ie:
INSERT INTO [TableName] ([DateTimeStamp], [UserId], [Title], [Explanation]) VALUES (DateTime.Now(), @UserId, @Title, @Explanation)
or something like that?
Anyone know an easy way to generate the SQL Scripts to gererate the
tables/sp's/triggers/indexes/fk's, ect? I know Sql Server 2000 lets you
generate the db script, but I don't know how to do this with 2005
I need to split NUMERIC & ALPHABETICAL values from string.
for eg :-
1234heaven56-guy

123456 heaven-guy
Hi there,
I have setup merge replication which successfully synchronizes with a group of desktop users using SQL Compact Edition.
However now I have setup Article Filters and when I attempt to regenerate the snapshot I get the following error:
Invalid column name 'rowguid'.
Failed to generate merge replication stored procedures for article 'AssignedCriteria'.
When I look at publication properties at the Articles page.. All my tables have the rowguid uniqueidentifier successfully added to tables and selected as a compulsory published column, apart from the table above "AssignedCriteria".. Even when I attempt to select this column in the article properties page and press ok, when I come back it is deselected again. ( The Rowguid column is however physically added to the table)
I have scripted the publication SQL and then totally reinstalled from scratch, including the database but for some reason it doesn't like this table. I remove the article filters, but still this "rowguid" is never "selected" in article properties.
We are using Uniqueidentifiers in other columns as well for historical reasons, but this doesn't appear to be a problem in other tables..
DDL For this problematic table is as follows
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AssignedCriteria](
[AssignedCriteria] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
[CriteriaName] [varchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[TargetScore] [numeric](5, 0) NULL,
[HRPlan] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[ActualScore] [numeric](18, 0) NULL,
[Criteria] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[Employee] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[IsActive] [bit] NULL,
[addDate] [datetime] NULL,
[totalscore] [numeric](5, 0) NULL,
[isCalc] [bit] NULL,
[Weight] [decimal](18, 2) NULL,
[ProfileDetail] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[rowguid] [uniqueidentifier] ROWGUIDCOL NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [MSmerge_df_rowguid_7FF25DF903B6415FBFF24AC954BC88E4] DEFAULT (newsequentialid()),
CONSTRAINT [PK_AssignedCriteria] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED

)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]

Iam usng sql server 2005 database
I had this table
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Companies](
[CompanyID] [smallint] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Company] [nvarchar](40) NOT NULL,
I entered Arabic Names
so I write this query
select * from companies order by company asc
--and this one
select * from companies order by company
and I try to order desc
but the row didnt appear out ordered
and the big prtoblem happened when I try to update a company Its go to the last row when it appears
please help me
thanks
Title is probably poorly worded
Say I have a table setup like this:
Code:
AccountID | GeneratedDesc | Col1 | Col2 | Col3 | Order
-------------------------------------------
1|| Data1 | Data2 | Data3 | 1,2,3
2|| Data1 | Data2 | Data3 | 1,3,2
3|| Data1 | Data2 | Data3 | 2,3,1
1|| Data1 | Data2 | Data3 | 1,2,3
Basically, I want to set GeneratedDesc = Data1 + ' ' + Data2 + ' ' + Data3 where an account sets the order 1,2,3
GeneratedDesc = Data2 + ' ' + Data3 + ' ' + Data1 where an account sets the order 2,3,1
Basically, The Generated Description is set in an order that is chosen by the Account.
I am not sure how to go about doing this, outside of dynamically generating the query and looping throughout all the rows in the table, which, i think for large amounts of data, can get expensive. I don't think creating a query for each combination would be good either (in this case, 6 combinations, but for larger order sets, such as 6, can get quite alot of queries).
any ideas? (not sure if this makes sense to anyone)
I am using Access 2003 as a front-end to a SQL Server 2005 database.I make design changes using SQL Server Management Studio. I have atable that includes a datetime column. I create a view and sort bythe datetime field. When I initially look at the result it is sortedcorrectly. Then I save the view and re-open it and it is not sorted.I've simplified the view so it only contains the date field and itstill does not sort. Here is the view:SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT Period_DateFROM dbo.Period_SummaryORDER BY Period_Date DESCThe date seems to be a random order.I don't have this problem in the SQL Server 2000 version of thedatabase.Help please!Thanks,Jerry
View 4 Replies View RelatedI currently have three SQL Server instances installed on my notebook. One is v8, which I believe is used by an accounting application. The other two are as follows:-
SQL Server MSSMLBIZ
SQL Server SQLEXPRESS
The second one (SQLEXPRESS) fails to start generating the following error:-
The SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) service terminated with service-specific error 17058 (0x42A2).
Other services listed in SQL Server Configuration Manager are:-
SQL Server Integration Services - which runs apparently normally.
SQL Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER)
SQL Server Reporting Services (MSSQLSERVER)
SQL Server Browser
The last thre of these are run under LocalSystem.
I have been trying to install the SQLServer SP2 to the SQLEXPRESS instance for some number of days now, but each time it runs, it fails to install.
I am beginning to wonder if there is a sequence of installation for each of the above instances that should be followed. Can anyone give me any suggestions, or answers to the above problems?

I need to pass data from a SQL Server data base to an Access data base. To do this I use the OPENROWSET as followed:
FR
INSERT INTO OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'C:Aux.mdb'; 'Admin'; '',Test) (Id, Name, TypeId) SELECT Id,Name,TypeId
FROM Test
ORDER BY TypeId
FR
On SQL Server 2000 or MSDE the data is transfered as expected, respecting the specified order. But when I run the same clause on a SQL 2005 EE the data is transfered, but the order is not respected.
So my question is if I have to activate an option for the order to be respected or if this is a bug.

Hi, I'm looking for a way to take an XML feed and basically do what this article describes: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/03/05/MetaDataServices/
(In short, take in XML, generate a database generation script, creating that database, then load the XML data into said database.)
But, the above article involves user interaction and I would like this all automated, ie: in .NET 2.0/C#
Does anyone know how to do this?
Cheers,

Hi,
is there a way in SQL Server 7, to use some sql to extract the entire database schema?
I know that with the Enterprise manager there is All Tasks- Generate SQL Scripts.
But I need to connect to the database and use some sql to do this.
Any suggestions?
Thankyou

there is another way to get the alphabetical value for a number other than using a case statement?
example:
Count = 1 That's = A
Count = 5 That's = E
Count = 8 That's = H
and so on I know a case could do this but wondering if there is a nice function or simple statement that would do this on the fly?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I require to compare two database structures.This is what I went for:
I generated scripts (right click on the database --> All Tasks--> Generate Scripts) for all tables in the two given databases and compared them.
The problem is that the order of the tables in the generated scripts are different. Can I control this order by any possible means?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, I have a table whose Identifying column is not an integer but rather a manually entered id. (i.e. 106F, 106-09, G11 etc.) When sorted ascending, a G11 will come before a G2 in the list, 106-11 before 106-2, etc.I would like to insert a new column in the database or use some kind of function when sorting the database to ensure that the list in returned in the proper order. Any ideas?Much appreciated...
View 16 Replies View RelatedI have been discussing with some coworkers whether or not it makes sense to invest the time to alphabetize the column names in our tables (aside from the PK and possibly FK's that could be listed first). My reasoning for doing so would make it much easier to scan the list of columns in a table that I was not familiar with to see if it contained a particular column (i.e. meeting_id). I was just wondering if this is common at all in our industry for new DB design (I realize why legacy systems would not be ordered in this way). I remember seeing MSFT designed their tables this way when Site Server first came out.
An argument was made that when you add a new column you would insert it into the appropriate location and in order to make this happen, EP needs to create a temp table, move the data and consequently lock the table until the data has been transferred. While this is correct, I do not see this negative as outweighing the positive experience achieved by scanning a list of fields in a table in a more orderly fashion.
Thoughts?
Apologies if this has been done before, but I couldn't find a completed example. If anyone has time, I'd love to see some improvements...

/*
function:
numeric_order
arguments:
@numeric_string - a string of mixed alpha and numeric values
@max_digits- the maximum length of digits to compare
description:
Function numeric_order creates an orderable string based on the "numeric" value of @numeric_string
which can be ordered alphabetically.
Ideally the strings should really be broken up into constituent parts and ordered properly,
but occasionally you come across data where it's just not worth the while.
eg
select title from regulations order by title
returns:
Regulation 1(a) section 3
Regulation 11 section 100(b)
Regulation 11 section 2(c)(iii)
Regulation 2 section 1
Regulation 21 section 3 (b)
whereas
select title from regulations order by dbo.numeric_order(title,10)
returns:
Regulation 1(a) section 3
Regulation 2 section 1
Regulation 11 section 2(c)(iii)
Regulation 11 section 100(b)
Regulation 21 section 3 (b)
which is the order most users would expect.
NOTE: because the original strings are mixed, the user may include alphas between digits which are to be
sorted alphabetically, which means the string must keep all alpha parts of the original string as is.
expected output:
select dbo.numeric_order('Part 1(b) subsection 1',4)
returns
Part 0001(b) subsection 0001
test data:
use test
--go
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[regulations]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[regulations]
--go

insert into regulations (title) select 'Regulation 21 section 3 (b)'

Hello,
I am creating a windows application that is not going to be used in a controlled environment like a LAN or some other network, so I want to include a local database in the install of this app. Ideally, I would like to use SQL 2005 Express like you would MSDE or Access, but I am not sure if the user must have SQL Server installed on their machine in order for this to work and I don't have a machine without it to test on.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

i am working on a small project, that I have found that someone is storing a float as a varchar(). But there are also some actual words in the same column.
I am trying to determine how I can select only the rows with alphabetical characters in that column.
Some of the data is:
1.5008e+015
1.54453e+015
1.51922e+015
1.51922e+015
1.52243e+015
but there is a mix of alphabetical characters in there as well.
1.51922e+015
1.53122e+015
FMCIT
ABCNP
FMCPNG
1.62073e+015
1.6127e+015
I want to be able to select the rows with only the alphabetical characters. There is a huge mix, and I am assuming that every first letter is one of the 26 alphabetical character used. How can I write a query to use a REGEX to select any and all rows that cannot be CAST as a Float? I have nill to no experience using REGEX.
