SQL Server 2008 :: Finding Tables With No Createdate?
May 4, 2015
In our Production db we have all most all tables have the column created or createdate.
I need to find out all tables without the created or createdate column
SELECT t8.name AS table_name,
SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) AS schema_name,
c.name AS column_name
FROM sys.tables AS t8
INNER JOIN sys.columns c
ON t8.OBJECT_ID = c.OBJECT_ID
I am trying to find a way where I can search for a column that is associated in all tables of the database. I have created a query but is not executing correctly.
SELECT t.name AS table_name, SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) AS schema_name, c.name AS column_name FROM sys.tables AS t8 INNER JOIN sys.columns c ON t.OBJECT_ID = c.OBJECT_ID WHERE c.name LIKE '%Status%' ORDER BY schema_name, table_name;
Below I have a query which list the relations (constraints) between tables.
I want to list all the relations which are visible in the Database Diagrams.
The list is not complete. How do I get a complete list ?
-- -- Query to show the relations (constraints) between tables. -- This does not show the complete list -- SELECT A.constraint_name, B.table_name AS Child, C.table_name AS Parent,
Is there anyway to find the permissions assigned to user. What level of access the user has in each db and the tables & is he able to see jobs. Each object and permissions
I need to find a way to identify SPIDS where queries are connected to certain databases using the 4 dot notation instead of actually being connected to the database in question.
For instance, I connect and my default database is MASTER. In MASTER, instead of typing USE MyDb ahead of my query, I just type my query as:
SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM MyDB.dbo.MyTable
The above is the simple scenario. We usually have queries connecting 3 or 4 user dbs together. So database1 might have a query pointing to database2. What I need is a way to identify the SPIDS that are connecting to database2 despite being in database1.
My backups are failing sometimes.My db size is around 400 GB and we are taking backup to the remote server. Free size available on the disk is showing 600 GB but my database full backup run more than 10 hrs and failed. The failure reason is there is not enough space on the disk.
What could be the possible failure reasons? It has more than the the database size on the backup server but why it is showed that msg on the job failures. I noticed same thing occurred couple of times in the past.
Is there any way to find how much the backup file will be generate before we run the backup job?
i.e. If we run the full backup of test1 database now, it will generate ....bak file for that test1 db
currently we are using maintenance plan and with compression (2008R2) and the database has TDE enabled
I am trying to figure out how I can find the names of people who have a double occurrence or more of characters either in their first name or last name.
select Computername from dbo.ADAssets where Computername like 'AIRLBEOF3565%'
I get both records,but if I do this
select * from dbo.ADAssets where Computername in ( 'AIRLBEOF3565 CNF:4e926e06-6f62-4864-aebd-6311543d', 'AIRLBEOF3565' )
I only get AIRLBEOF3565
So the big picture is that I need to compare 2 tables to find records that match & don't but that I get matches that shouldn't be & matches that aren't.
This question is a long shot because it requires familiarity with a specific application called ChefTec which is a program for the restaurant industry, but I'm giving it a try because I have nowhere else to go to get the information I need. I am the developer for a competitor of this program, and some ChefTec users want to switch to our product and have their data, which is in SQL Server 2005 or 2008, converted.
My plan is to create a utility that the users could run to convert the data (written in Delphi, though that doesn't really matter). The problem is that I can't determine the connection string that ChefTec uses. It doesn't seem to be stored anywhere obvious (an ini file or the registry). When ChefTec is installed it either installs SQL Server or gives the option of using an existing instance, but there's no way for me to know how it was set up on any given machine. The program must be using some internal logic to create the connection string but that's not accessible to me.
Does anyone have a good query that would return records from two tables that are found in one, but not it the other table? In my situation I have 2 tables that are duplicate tables and I need to find an additional 3000 records that were added to one of the tables. I also have a composite key so the query would have col1, col2 and col3 as the composite key. So far I have tried concatenating the 3 columns and giving the result an alias and then trying to show the ones that were not in both tables, but have been struggling. Thanks..
I am new to SQL SERVER and am running into a brick wall
Example table foo Column CreateDate, smalldatetime
I would like to have this column populated with the systemdatetime on creation but never again.
Would it be best to create a trigger and after insert store the value returned by getdate() in the column foo.createDate?
if so what would the syntax for creation of this trigger look like?
Is there another method that would be easier. Example my take on constraints would be that the createDate column would be replaced both on insert and update.
For this id: 0793319, my beginning date is 2011-09-06
108203492014-09-022015-06-30 208203492013-09-032014-09-01 308203492012-09-042013-09-02 408203492011-12-122012-07-03--not a continuous date range
For this id: 0793319, my beginning date is 2012-09-04
108203492014-09-022015-06-30
For this id: 0820349, my beginning date is 2014-09-02
To find continuous date, you look at the beginning date in row 1 and end date in row 2, then if no break in dates, row 2 beginning date to row 3 end date, if no break continue until last date There could multiple dates up to 12 which I have to check for "no break" in dates, if break, display beginning date of last continuous date.
I need to write create table statements for the er diagram that I attached. I am new to sql and I have trouble integrating foreign keys with these bigger er diagrams.
These are the tables I need to create: Create Table Author(...) Create Table Writes(...) Create Table Book(...) Create Table Copy(...) Create Table Loan(...) Create Table Customer(...)
I am new in SQL and i need do a query where I need sum values from 2 tables, when i do it the Sum values are not correct. this is my query
SELECT D.Line AS Line, D.ProductionLine AS ProductionLine, D.Shift AS Shift, SUM(CAST(D.DownTime AS INT)) AS DownTime, R.Category, SUM(Cast(R.Downtime AS INT)) AS AssignedDowntime, CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), D.DatePacked,101) AS DatePacked FROM Production.DownTimeReason R left JOIN Production.DownTimeHistory D
MS SQL 2008.I want to execute a delete query on certain tables in my database to delete some rows in the tables.The tables selected has a certain name pattern (the name ends with "Temp").
So I can do this to get a list of the table names
SELECT name FROM sys.Tables where name like '%Temp'
Now I want to check each table to see if it has a column with the name "DateStamp" and then execute a delete query as follows:
delete form TableName where DateStamp is < '2010-01-01'
In other words I need to iterate through the tables names, How to do this?
I have a query, I am trying to update a certain column in my query you can see that is hard coded. The column that I am trying to update is "O_Test" I used a select statement trying to figure out how many records that accounts for with the entire database of all the tables. I got 643 records. So I am wondering if there is a way I can update all the columns without looking up each table and updating each one. This Update statement wont work because I am accounting for all records in the DB of all tables associated of what I hard coded
SELECT t.name AS table_name, SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) AS schema_name, c.name AS column_name FROM sys.tables AS t INNER JOIN sys.columns c ON t.OBJECT_ID = c.OBJECT_ID WHERE c.name LIKE '%O_Test%' ORDER BY schema_name, table_name;
I have a table of raw data with supplier names, and i need to join it to our supplier database and pull the supplier numbers.
The issue is that the raw data does not match our database entries for these suppliers; sometimes there are extra periods, commas, or abbreviations (i.e. FedEx, FederalExpress, FedEx, inc.) etc. I'm trying to create a query that will search for entries that are similar.
I tried setting a variable to be equal to the raw data field, and then using a LIKE '%@Variable%' to try and return anything that would contain it, but it didnt return any rows.
Let's say that I have a stored proc that is assigned to a service broker queue and is constantly running while it waits for messages in said queue. When a message comes in on the queue, the stored proc creates a table variable based off of the contents of the message and performs various operations with the data. Since the stored proc is constantly running, do the contents of this table variable ever truly get emptied? Should I be deleting the contents of the table variable at the end of the operation to ensure that stale data doesn't persist?
I'm using MS SQL Server 2008 and I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to identify what tables / columns contain specific records.
In the example below information generated for the end user, so the column headers (Customer ID, Customer, Address, Phone, Email, Account Balance, Currency) are not necessarily the field names from the relevant tables, they are simply more identifiable headers for the user.
Customer ID CustomerAddress Phone Email Account Balance Currency js0001 John Smith123 Nowhere Street555-123-456 jsmith@nowhere.com-100 USD jd2345 Jane Doe 61a Down the road087-963258 jdoe@downthe road.com-2108 GBP mx9999 Mr X Whoknowsville 147-852369 mrx@whoknows.com0 EUR
In reality the column headers may be called eg (CustID, CustName, CustAdr, CustPh, CustMail, CustACBal, Currency).
As I am not the generator of this report, I would like to know whether or not it is possible to identify the field names and / or what tables they exist in, if I were to used the report info to search for it. For example, could I perhaps find out the field name and table for "jd2345" or for "mrx@whoknows.com", because the Customer ID or Email may not be what the actual fields are called.
I'm not a DB admin and I don't have rights to do a stored procedure on the server. I'm guessing what I want is not so simple to do, but is it possible to do via a query?
I'm presented with an issue where by I need to reclaim a fair bit of unused space currently sat in the primary data file for my database. I don't want to run DBCC SHRINKDATABASE as we all know this could potentially have a some serious negative effects relating to index fragmentation.
So, how do I get the free space out of the data file? - I've decided to:
1. Add new new file group 2. Add a clustered index for all tables on the new file group 3. Shrink the primary file group as much as possible (hopefully giving me the free space back) 4. Drop the newly created clustered indexes for all tables
There are no clustered indexes currently for any of the tables!, so me temporarily creating/dropping one shouldn't be an issue. Are there any other ways I can get the free space back to the OS?
I just notice that my MASTER database has some user tables and user SP ..and I am thinking to move them to 1 new user database but I am worried it will break something ..
What should I do ?
Moreover I wonder why Transaction log of MASTER can be full ( The recovery model is simple ) It should be fine , isn’t it?
I've recently started a new position and our production box. Contains a procedure that uses 30 + temp tables. I'm currently not in a position to change this as it's production and I would have to be granted a window to re-design.
However the tempDb is showing some strange activity.
If a table is created #CarrierService (CarrierServiceID,DeliveryZoneID,CollectionZoneID) for example
Once the procedure is called It will appear in the tempDB with the session info appended as expected
However once the session has ended the above table will get dropped and a new one created
#2C78E45A, I now have 7000 of these different Tables in the TempDB
When I Interrogate this using
SELECT o.name, o.create_date,o.modify_date , c.Name,C.Column_Id FROM tempdb.sys.Objects o Inner join tempdb.Sys.Columns c ON o.object_id =c.Object_ID WHERE o.type ='U'
I get the Following results
name create_date modify_date object_id name #2C78E45A26/04/2015 18:0930/04/2015 14:55746120282CarrierServiceId #2C78E45A26/04/2015 18:0930/04/2015 14:55746120282CollectionZoneId #2C78E45A26/04/2015 18:0930/04/2015 14:55746120282DeliveryZoneId
I am trying to run a test migration of our application from V8 to V9. To do this I am creating an empty database by running the Tasks -> Script database
Once that is done, I restore it to our dev server and run SQLCompare against it to generate the change scripts
The problem I am facing is that there are a few tables that have encrypted triggers on them and I cannot include them in the generate scripts. I want to take the table structure, including indexes, but I am not interested in the triggers. There are only 5 tables so I could script them by hand, but this means that I cannot automate the process.
As a result of the missing tables SQLCompare will try to generate a CREATE TABLE rather than an ALTER TABLE DDL
The live migration won't be a problem because this will be a database restore and migration - my problem is the CREATE TABLE DDLs in the script.
select * from sys.master_files - size column value here is 1024 for .mdf,size here for .ldf is 64 select * from tempdb.sys.database_files - size column value here is 3576 for .mdf,size here for .ldf is 224
Why is there a difference and not the same. size columns in the above 2 tables for temp db's do they represent different values ?
1) "Deferred compile" recompile event occurs because of deferred name resolution. In other words, an object referred to in the statement does not exist at compile time. Later, when the object does exist, it requires a recompile of the statement so that it can create an optimal execution plan. One example of when a deferred compile will occur is if a temporary table is used in a batch and does not exist when the first statements in the batch are compiled.
--Exec Database.Employees --Use Database --Go --Create PROCEDURE AEM.TempTable --AS --BEGIN --Select * into #emptemp From Database.Employees --End --Select * From #emptemp
Is something like this possible? I can get the EXEC to run the "Select * into #emptemp From Database.Employees" statement, but when I try to use the temp table it doesnt see it.
I have two queries from two different tables ex ABC and BCD. For table ABC, according to my query, I got 11 records ; for table BCD I only got 9 records.
Bottom line: I would like to see only 11 records from Table ABC including certain data from table BCD after I joined this two tables.
However, no matter what I did I always got 99 records when I joined.
