SQL Server 2014 :: Find Common Link Between Two Tables In Database Without Key Constraints
Jul 16, 2015
Any tool, script, procedure, or otherwise that will solve this problem?
CREATE TABLE [Table 1] (
Id varchar,
TableTwoId varchar,
OtherData varchar )
CREATE TABLE [Table 2] (
Id varchar,
MoreData varchar )
What is the link between these two tables?
I have databases that have zero keys defined, no foreign key constraints, no unique value constraints. I cannot assume that an Identity column is the Id. The end game is be able to output that [Table 1].[TableTwoId] = [Table 2].[Id] but cannot assume that all linkage in the database will be as simple as saying "if the field name contains a table name + Id then it is the Id in that table."
Currently have written a script that will cycle through all columns and start identifying keys in singular tables based on the distinctness of the values in each column (i.e. Column1 is 99% distinct so is the unique value). It will also combine columns if the linkage is the combination of one or more columns from Table 1 = the same number of columns in Table 2. This takes a long time, and it somewhat unreliable as IDENTITY columns may seem to relate to one another when they don't.

Hi,
I am trying to query for a common value in a column called "file_auth_nbr" in 30 different tables. I was going to try something like this (see below) but wasn't sure if this was the most efficient, fastest, or correct, way to get what I'm looking for:
Select distinct a.file_auth_nbr from table1 as a
join table2 as b
on a.file_auth_nbr = b.file_auth_nbr
join table3 as c
on a.file_auth_nbr = c.file_auth_nbr
join table4 as d
on a.file_auth_nbr = d.file_auth_nbr
join table5 as e
on a.file_auth_nbr = e.file_auth_nbr
......etc., etc.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated,
Jeff

I have created an Access2003 project (existing data) that links to external data. First I connected to a SQL Server 2000 database. Success. Then I tried to set up a Transact SQL data connection to a legacy MDW-secured Access97 database. (A third-party VB6 application goes against it, and we don't have the source code, so we cannot upgrade it.)
The Transact SQL link tests OK but I cannot select any of the tables or queries from the list presented. However, with the same credentials, I can use these same objects in Excel 2003.
When setting up the link in Access2003, I specify JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider, I enter the MDW file on the All tab, a username and a password on the Connection tab where I browse to the MDB file, and specify Shared Deny None on the Advanced tab. When I test the connection, it tests OK ("Test connection succeeded"). Yet on the "Select the Database and Table/Cube which contains the data you want" dialog, "(Default)" appears in the grayed-out dropdown. Then, beneath that dropdown, there is a grid with Name and Description columns. The grid contains query names but the grid is not enabled. The list of queries is this table is grayed out. Neither of the scrollbars works.
BUT... if I use the SAME username and password in Excel2003, and specify the same MDW, there is no problem working with these same database objects in the legacy Access97 database. WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THE WIZARD IN EXCEL THAT ALLOWS IT TO SUCCEED AND THE WIZARD IN ACCESS THAT CAUSES IT TO FAIL HERE? In Excel, the list of available providers says Microsoft Access Driver, not JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider.
Thanks

Hello all, I have a quick question. Is it possible to create linked tables in MS SQL, similar to the was MS Access does?
I have a new application(x) that is going to be dependant on another application(y). I just want to link 5 or 6 tables from y into x for the purpose of not duplicating information. Is this possible?
I apologize if I seem a little lacking in the knowledge of MS SQL, I am new to it and trying to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

Guys,
I have 600 tables in my database, out of which 40 tables are look up value tables. I want generate truncate scripts which truncates all the tables in order of Parent child relationship excluding lookup tables. Is there any way to do this apart from figuring out Parent Child relationship and then writing the truncate statements for each of the table.
For example
EmployeeDetail table references Employee table
DepartmentDetail table references Department table
Department table references Employee table
My truncate script should be
TRUNCATE TABLE DEPARTMENTDETAIL
TRUNCATE TABLE EMPLOYEEDETAIL
TRUNCATE TABLE DEPARTMENT
TRUNCATE TABLE EMPLOYEE
Is there any automated way to figure out parent and child tables and generate truncate script for the same.
Thanks

When trying to link to an SQL table in Access 2003, the software appears to be malfunctioning.
The sequence of events is File - Get External Data - Link Tables - Files of Type: ODBC Databases().
The Problem: On two of my computers, the select data source window does not pop up, preventing me from linking to any ODBC data source.
Observations: This function has worked normally in the recent past and works on other computers running Access 2003. One difference between the computers working and non-working computers is Norton Antivirus 2006 (recent upgrade).
Has anyone experienced anything like this? What's going on?

I have SQL Server 2012 SP2 x64 Express Advanced Services installed on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit.
I cannot find the Report Builder download link for SQL Server 2012 SP2 x64 Express Advanced Services on Windows 10 Pro.
Shouldn't the Report Builder link be for SQL Server 2012 SP2 and x64 bit in order to work with SQL Server 2012 SP2 x64 Express Advanced Services on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit?The only Report Builder 3.0 links I have found have been x86 (32 bit) and SP1.

Hello All,
I am new to this forum and hope that some one can help me with this problem.
I know that in MS Access you can have a linked table in your databse such that as long a the like is not broken, it behaves similar to any other table in the database.
My problem is that I need to do the same thing for multiple databases that I have on a MS SQL Server that ALL currently have copies of the same table in common.
I wish to have a single table that they all share and have access to just link any other table that they currently have but is actually linked.
Can this be done?
And if so, then could someone please guide me in this?
My logic is that if MS Access can link tables then I could suspect that MS SQL Server should be able to also, but I could be wrong.
Thanks in advance,
Lonnie

I am trying to find books which have the same title and publisher name as at least two other books and need to also show the book ref (ISBN number). I have the below script so far:
SELECT isbn, title, publishername
FROM book
WHERE title in (SELECT title
FROM book
GROUP BY title
HAVING count(title)>2 or count(publishername)>2)
order by title;
This is a snap shot of the output:
ISBN Title Publishername
0-1311804-3-6 C Prentice Hall
* 0-0788132-1-2 C OSBORNE MCGRAW-HILL
* 0-0788153-8-X C OSBORNE MCGRAW-HILL
* 0-9435183-3-4 C Database Development MIS
* 1-5582806-2-6 C Database Development MIS
[Code] ....
What I should be seeing is only the ones I have put an * next to. What am I missing from the scrip?

I have a query question.
Consider a table with the following structure:
RecordID (PK - int) - RecordDate (DateTime)
I need to find all records that fall within a 7 day period slot based on the first RecordDate of a specific slot.
Example, consider the following records:
RecordID - RecordDate
1 - 2015-04-01 14:00
2 - 2015-04-03 15:00
3 - 2015-04-03 16:05
4 - 2015-04-03 19:23
5 - 2015-04-06 09:15
6 - 2015-04-06 11:30
7 - 2015-04-07 12:00
8 - 2015-04-09 15:15
The result of the query I'd like should look something like this
1
2
5
7
8
So basically I'd like to leave record 3 and 4 out because they fall within 24 hours of record 2 and I'd like to leave record 6 out because it falls within 24 hours of record 5.I'd tried working with a CTE and set a dateadd(d, 1, recorddate), join it on itself and use a between From / To filter on the join but that didn't work. I don't think NTILE will work with this?

I'm pulling data from XML into tables, but I'm unsure how to link the data after it's imported. This example has names and tasks, and I can pull the data into two tables, but I can't find any way to link the task to the appropriate person. My person and task tables populate without issue, but there's nothing I can find to link the rows together. So in this example Test 1 would go to the first two Tasks and Test 2 would go to the second two work items.
DECLARE @XML TABLE (XMLData XML);
DECLARE @Person Table (Name NVARCHAR(50), Addresss NVARCHAR(50));
DECLARE @Task Table (Name NVARCHAR(50), Details NVARCHAR(50));
INSERT INTO @XML SELECT '
<process>
<header>
<Person><Name>Test1</Name><Address>123 main street</Address></Person>
