SQL Server 2008 :: Notification When Table Name Changes?
Jun 23, 2015
I have a situation where a person, who created our DW, likes to go in and change table name. This person had no prior SQL xp and is at a higher level then me in the company. I need to know whenever somebody changes a table name I get notified, with the old table name and the new table name. This can be either set on the server level or the DB level. I would like to use the policy management but cant find the way to do it.
I'm inserting from TempAccrual to VacationAccrual . It works nicely, however if I run this script again it will insert the same values again in VacationAccrual. How do I block that? IF there is a small change in one of the column in TempAccrual then allow insert. Here is my query
INSERT INTO vacationaccrual (empno, accrued_vacation, accrued_sick_effective_date, accrued_sick, import_date)
I created am inventory table with few columns say, Servername, version, patching details, etc
I want a tracking of the table.
Let's say people are asked to modify the base table and I want a complete capture of the details modified and the session of the user ( ) who (system_user) is actually modifying the details.
I am trying to insert bulk data into main table from staging table in sql server 2012. If any error comes, this total activity is rollbacked. I don't want that to happen. I want to know the records where ever the problem persists, and the rest has to be inserted.
I have a scenario where I have to Update a table with date when there are new records in another table
For example:
I load ODS table with the data from a file in SSIS. the file has CustomerID and other columns.
Now, when there is new record for any customerID in Ods, then Update the dbo table with the most recent record for every CustomerID(i.e. update the date column in dbo for that customerID). Also Include an Identifier that relates back to the ODS table. How do I do this?
I have two table 'Cal_date' and 'RPT_Invoice_Shipped'.Table cal_data has column month_no, start_date and end_date. And table RPT_Invoice_Shipped has columns Day_No, Date, Div_code, Total_Invoiced, Shipped_Value, Line_Shipped, Unit_Shipped, Transaction_Date.
I am using below insert statment to insert data in RPT_Invoice_Shipped table.
insert into [Global_Report_Staging].[dbo].[RPT_Invoice_Shipped] (Day_No, Date, Div_code, Total_Invoiced, Transaction_Date) select , CONVERT(DATE,Getdate()) as Date, LTRIM(RTRIM(div_Code)), sum(tot_Net_Amt) as Total_Invoiced, (dateadd(day, -1, convert(date, getdate()))) from [Global_Report_Staging].[dbo].[STG_Shipped_Invoiced] WHERE CONVERT(DATE,Created_date )=CONVERT(DATE,Getdate()) group by div_code
while inserting in column Day_No in RPT_Invoice_Shipped table, I have to use formula (Transaction_Date-start_date+1) where Transaction_Date from STG_Shipped_Invoiced and start_date from Cal_date table. I was using datepart (mm, Transaction_Date) so it gives month_no, and this month_no we can join with month_no of Cal_date table and fetch start_date from Cal_date table, so that we can use start_date for formula (Transaction_Date-start_date+1).
But I am getting difficulty to arrange this in above query. how to achieve this?
I am trying to replicated table A into table B withing the same server and the same database.
I am getting an error message when trying to configure the subscription: You have selected the Publisher as a Subscriber and entered a subscription database that is the same as the publishing database. Select another subscription database.
I am working on SQL SERVER schemas using a plug-in in SQL developer itself now my requirement is to generate DDL for a table which is part of SQL SERVER schema...
1. Is there any way to get the Table Row Count if we are not maintaining the count.
2. This is for Update statistics
a. Should we run update statistics in our database for all the tables? The database is highly transactional.
b. How should i calculate the sample size that will suite for all the tables.
There are some tables which gets reindex, this we will ignore. We have a job, which reorganise some tables. Now the decision need to be taken what table should we update statistics to:
Production and development servers are on different domains and they do not trust each other. How do I import data from the table t1 from a database db1 in production and load it into table t1 inside database db1 in development?
I have an sql server table which serves as a criteria table for my sql server query.
i wish to update the sql server table from the excel worksheet. The intention is to allow the end user to change the values in a specific column in the sql server table via excel.
The table in question has the following fields
SELECT [Cluster] ,[Max_Break_btw] ,[RefD_Max_Break] ,[DischD_Max_Break] ,[MaxReviewPeriods] FROM [databseName].[dbo].[SpellClusterAssum]
I will like to change / update the values in the "[Max_Break_btw]" column.
I have a table that contains records of transactions with ID column is primary key
I use partition follow ID column, each partition have 1 million records.
CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION [pfTBLTRANS_ID](int) AS RANGE LEFT FOR VALUES (1000000, 2000000, 3000000, 4000000, 5000000, 6000000, 7000000, 8000000, 9000000, 10000000)
CREATE PARTITION SCHEME [psTBLTRANS_ID] AS PARTITION [pfTBLTRANS_ID] TO ([GROUP01], [GROUP02], [GROUP03], [GROUP04], [GROUP05], [GROUP06], [GROUP07], [GROUP08], [GROUP09], [GROUP10], [GROUP11])
But now I have more records with IDs that are greater than 11.000.000. So how can I add more partitions to this table ?
I have a report that summarizes hospital readmissions. Some months may only have a female or male patient that is readmitted but, I want to show both months either way.
I have run into a perplexing issue with how to UPDATE some rows in my table correctly.I have a Appointment table which has Appointment Times and a Appointment Names. However the Name is only showing on the Appt start Time line. I need it to show for its duration. So for example in my DDL Morning Appt only shows on at 8:00 I need it to show one each line until the next Appt Starts and so on. In this case Morning Appt should show at 8:00,8:15, 8:30.
I have a table "t_prod_cat" which contains hierarchical data which is used in production to present data.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[t_prod_cat]( [cat_node_id] [bigint] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [advertiser_id] [bigint] NOT NULL, [cat_hid] [hierarchyid] NULL, [level] AS ([cat_hid].[GetLevel]()) PERSISTED, CONSTRAINT [PK_t_prod_cat] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [cat_node_id] ASC )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY] ) ON [PRIMARY]
In order not to impact the production website during the time an advertiser is editing (the editing might take much time and also mainly because at any time during the editing, the advertiser could cancel all the changes he did), I was thinking of transferring all the data linked to that advertiser to another table and let the advertiser apply any modifications up to the moment he will commit the changes.
Therefore, I would like to "CLONE" the hierarchy related to a certain advertiser_id to another table "t_prod_cat_work"
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[t_prod_cat_work]( [temp_cat_node_id] [bigint] NOT NULL, [temp_cat_hid] [hierarchyid] NOT NULL, [advertiser_id] [bigint] NOT NULL ) ON [PRIMARY]
What can be the easiest way to clone all the hierarchical data (multi-levels) from 't_prod_cat' to 't_prod_cat_work' for a certain advertiser_id ?
* SQL Server 2008 R2 * Database was created from a third party product. The product writes to the 3 tables that I need to make changes to 24/7 and downtime is not an option. All changes must be done live. * Database overall size is ~200 GB * The 3 tables I must update make up ~190 GB of that space. * Tables have no primary key or ID columns. Therefore, the data is highly fragmented. * Of the ~190 GB of space allocated for the tables, there is roughly 70 GB of actual data. * Rows of the table are not guaranteed to be unique. In fact, on one of the tables, tests were ran with a small sample of data and duplicates were very much evident.
What I'm trying to accomplish here is to get an ID column added to the 3 tables and set that ID field as the primary key. Doing so will force the data to become much less fragmented than it is currently and with purging and new inserts, eventually fragmentation will be nearly non-existent.
Problem: Making table changes on tables this large while data is constantly being added poses many risks and can cause data loss. This was tried on a smaller table than these three and the entire table was lost in the process. Restore from backup was needed to get back to most recent log backup point.
Original Solution: My original plan was to create a backup of each table and run the script below to migrate the majority of the data temporarily into the new table. I could then update the original table (which now would contain much less data) and then migrate the data back.
Original Solution Problem: The problem with the solution above is that it calls the DELETE function on the original table using the values from the temporary table. When there are duplicate rows, which have not all been inserted into the backup table yet, they will all be removed from the original table because there is nothing unique to separate them out. In my testing, I had 10,000 rows in the original table and ended up with 9,959 rows in the backup table.
Question 1: Is my approach to making these table changes reasonable? Question 2a: If so, how can I make sure I don't lose data as part of this temporary migration of the data to my backup tables? Question 2b: If not, what would be a better approach that isn't going to cause disruption to the application that INSERTs data 24/7 and won't have any risk of data loss?
We have a SQL Server 2008R2 system that has heavy usage to one specific table. I have tuned basically all I can as far as making sure SQL Statements are using good indexes. From time to time a group of folks will log into Mgt Studio and run SQL Statements like this, leave the query open and once in a while it will cause blocking to other SQL running our online system
The query is like this: select ID,* from tablename with (nolock) where ID like 'MSPRYy%'
The results come back within less than 1 second. However, they leave this window open which is what causes this to be a HEAD BLOCKER and blocks other SQL Statements from running.
I want find all dependent objects related to a table. I am using -
SELECT DISTINCT so.name INTO #tmp FROM dbo.sysobjects so JOIN dbo.SysComments sc ON sc.id = so.id WHERE sc.text LIKE '%tablename%'But, I want all those SP/functions/views that use the output of this query and so on...
Eg. Table -> used in usp1 -> usp1 used in usp2 ...and so on
best way to track changes for a very pesky table.We pull down a table from an Oracle database (via linked server) into our SQL Server on a daily basis. The data in this table is just truncated and reloaded daily. There is no "history" kept in the oracle database and values are not being "updated" its just dropped and repopulated.
So, I have toyed around with CDC and even creating my own custom auditing method but I can't come up with a reasonable solution that doesn't involve a massive audit table that doesn't provide much useful info.
For example, there are two date fields in the table that my customer wishes to have history tracked for. Every day, this table is truncated and reloaded - however those dates may stay the same for many many many months. If I turn on CDC, I will get tons of audit records for a delete and an insert every day but the values for the two date fields may not have even changed.
The table has tons of fields in it but I only care about the 2 date fields for history purposes.Here is a snippet of the table (I took out all the additional fields in the table and just left the two date fields that need to be tracked):
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Fake_Name]( [lin] [char](6) NOT NULL, [boip_no] [char](6) NOT NULL, [dt_tc] [varchar](25) NULL,
[Code] .....
method to track changes to this table with it being truncated every day?
I have a table Tbl1 which has 7 columns.This table will be my base table.By using our current application version ,i'll be creating record for Client1. Col1 will have value that application will generate(id).Then i'll be creating Tbl2 with same columns.Then i'll be creating same record for Client1 again ,using our new application version .Col1 will have different (id)value.I would like to compare the rest of the columns if there is any discrepancy caused by new version(columns Col2 -Col7).If there are same ,don't show me anything.
I'm having a problem creating a partitioned table with a filestream column. I'm getting error: Cannot create table 'MyTable' since a partition scheme is not specified for FILESTREAM data
I actually managed to get the table created. The table below gets created. I had to specifically indicate that the unique constraint is on [PRIMARY] (non-partitioned) and create a partition scheme in the filestram filegroup. However my problem now is with partition switching. I successfully created a non-partitioned staging table identical to the partitioned table, but the switching operation doesn't work.
parent | NAme | Checked | contactmethod|Check2 | Other 974198 | Employment | true | Face to Face | true | null 974224 | Other | true | Face to Face | true | skills 974224 | Other | true | Contact | true | skills
I'd like to pivot on "parent"
In a perfect world I'd like to see output like
974198 | Employment | true | Face to Face | true | null
974224 | Other | true | Face to Face, Collateral Contact | true | skills
If there are more than one name or contactmethod for the same parent then they would be strung along with commas
I'm trying to migrate tables from one database to another. The tables in the source database (MY_SOURCE_DB) have a schema of "dbo". I want to create the tables in the target database (MY_TARGET_DB) with a schema of "xyz". I want to migrate all of the tables with "contract" in the table name:
select table_name from information_schema.tables where table_name like '%contract%'
I want to migrate the full table definitions, table data and dependent objects. This needs to be done through a sql script as opposed to SSIS.
