Hi
When I run this query..
SELECT COLUMN_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME='TableTest'
I get all the column names, but the result is not in the same order as when I check the design for the table, why is that?
At my work, we are upgrading a number of MS Access 2000 databases to SQL Server 2000. Many of the columns have names that do not follow the rules for Identifiers. For example there are columns with a numeric names 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. There are also columns with a hyphen in the name and columns that begin with a number and not an underscore or an alpha character. Plus there are columns with names like first, last, position, etc. (There was also columns with reserved words used as the names. I have changed those column names in the databases that I have already converted) Will leaving these names alone create a problem? The database serves as the backend to ASP pages.

Hi, all..
I want to know the query to retrieve Column information that we can see from table Design view of Enterprise manager, such as Column name, Pk or not, FK table, Data Type, Null or not, Description(Specially Descrition).
Is there any sp for this or any query for this?
Thank you all...
Table: Names
Columns: Name_RID char(10)
Name_Type smallint
Name_Last char(50)
Name_First char(25)
Name_MI char
I have search for and see how to put the columns for the last, first mi together (Name_Last + ', ' + Name_First + ' ' + Name_MI) as Name
But how can I test the value of the Name_Type field to determine how the Name column looks
if Name_Type = 1 then
Name = (Name_Last + ', ' + Name_First + ' ' + Name_MI)
else
Name = Name_Last
The Name_Type represents Individual versus an Entity

I am trying to retrieve all rows with the largest value in a particular column. The largest value could return many rows for a particular users. Here is what I have thus far.
SELECT DISTINCT
ID, NAME, FOP, ACCT, CTNUM, ENDDATE, DEBIT, CREDIT, TRANSACTION_DATE, EXPORTED, CALENDAR_YEAR, FISCAL_YEAR, PAYROLL_IDENTIFIER,
PAYROLL_NUMBER, [EARN-SEQNO], EVENT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER
FROM (SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY ID, ACCT, PAYROLL_NUMBER,EVENT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER
ORDER BY EVENT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER DESC) AS RN
FROM PAYROLLYEAREND ) s
WHERE RN = 1 AND ID = '16443' AND PAYROLL_NUMBER ='7'
In the above example, the EVENT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER is populated with values from 0 to 12. Could vary per user and PAYROLL_NUMBER. The query above returns 48 rows. However, all I want are the rows where EVENT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER is equal to the highest, which is in the above example is 12. The result would be 29 rows. The where clause is not part of overall query. Just isolating on one ID.
What would be the most efficient method of constructing a sql statement to retrieve certain record into (this gets tricky) rows of a table with 3 columns date.desc.
<table>
@foreach(var row in maytable){
<tr>
<td>@row.Most_Recent_Record1</td>
<td>@row.Most_Recent_Record2</</td>
<td>@row.Most_Recent_Record3</</td>
</tr>
}
</table>
Hello Everyone,
I'm using Nhibernate and SQL Server 2005.
I have two tables something like this :
Table : Account
AccountID
UserName
Password
Table : Address
AddressID
AccountID
Line1
Line2
State
My NHibernate mapping file looks like this :
For Table Account
<id name="ID" type="long" column="AccountID" access="property">
<generator class="identity"/>
</id>
<property name="Username" column="Username" type="String" />
<property name="Password" column="Password" type="String" />
For Table : Address
<id name="ID" type="long" column="AddressID" access="property">
<generator class="identity"/>
</id>
<many-to-one name="Account" column="AccountID" class="..., ...." fetch="select"/>
<property name="Line1" column="Line1" type="String" />
<property name="Line2" column="Line2" type="String" />
My Problem is it does entry in the Account table perfectly, but when it comes to do entry in Address Table it says AccountID can't be null, I'm wondering shouldn't it pick it up from the Account table as I'm passing in that object.
For the Workaround I was thinking maybe I can get the identity of the last entry saved and somehow save it to the other table myself.
I was hoping if someone can please help me.
I have a table with an Identity column. Is there a way to get the automatically generated primary key after I insert something to the table? If so, what is the syntax?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHello,I'm still extremely novice to SQL and I've tried googling how to produce this result but I've been encountering a lot dynamic sql commands which isn't exactly what I want. If this is an ignorant question I do apologize but heres my scenario: I have a table with columns of the day, for instance: Monday_hasData (bit)Monday_DataAnd what I want to do is essentially pass in "Monday" as a parameter and rather than doing an If statement on each row, I would like to just like to do something like assign @dayCheck + "_hasData" to a variable and then use @dayCheck as part of my query. Is this possible or am I going to have to have 7 cases? Thank you for any input,Chance

By using below query i can get no of tables having the give column name in a particular database,
SELECT COUNT(*) AS CounterFROM syscolumnsWHERE (name = 'empno')

any one please suggest me how to find table names too......
In other words i know the particular column name and right now i want to know the table names in which this column name exists.
Hi,
I have a table in which out of 20 columns, there will be data only in a few columns. So, I need to find those column names which have data in them. I was able to do it using the information_schema and using a cursor to loop through all the column names and find out which columns have data in them. But i need to know if there is a more efficient way of doing this without using the cursor. Can somebody please let me know how this can be done without using a cursor? Thank you.
Can anyone help me with a SQL statement that will list all the column names in a table please ?
I just want to list out the column name so that i can develop asp/vb more effectively than having to use SQLEM and Design table to see the field names.:confused:
thanks

Hi is possible to create dynamic column name
example
Declare
@StartDate as dateTime
Select @StartDate = '2004-06-05'
select
SUM(Case When table1_date BETWEEN dateadd(day,-6,@StartDate) and @StartDate then 1 else 0 end)AS [dateadd(day,-6,@StartDate)],
SUM(Case When table1_date BETWEEN dateadd(day,-13,@StartDate) and dateadd(day,-7,@StartDate) then 1 else 0 end)AS [dateadd(day,-13,@StartDate)]
from
table1
I would like to pass into a stored proc the column names I want it to return; how do I do this please?
So I pass in say:
@p_AccountNumber with a value of 'AccountNum'
and the SELECT that the sp fires is of the form
SELECT AccountNum from AccountTable
Any help appreciated
thanx for the help in advance,
i have a table with Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. .... Sunday
i get the weekday by
select @stat = datename(dw, getdate()) which in this case is Wednesday
but when i do something like
select top 2 * from myTable
where 'myTable.'+@stat = 1
which is as same as
select top 2 * from myTable
where myTable.wednesday = 1
i receive a syntax error. how can i dynamically select myTable.Wednesday ?
i also tried using
select top 2 * from Intercon
where '@stat' = '1'
but then this doesn't return anything where it should.
any help?
Is there a way that you could get the column names for each table in a database using 1 query?
something like:
tbl colname
t1 catID
t1 catName
t2 prodID
t2 prodDesc
t3 cartID
...
...
I know it would be long, but I would just be searching through the saved output for specific names.
Hi All,
I was wondering how would I get the column names from a table? Not the results just a listing of column names. What is the command to get this information? I am using MS Access, but I posted here because MS SQL is the closest thing on this forum and the syntax is usually similar.
Thanks a bunch.

SQL server throws an exception when I try to run the following code:
ALTER TABLE contacts ADD default ntext NULL;
The reason for that is that "default" is an SQL keyword.
The way I handle this now is I put an underscore at the front:
ALTER TABLE contacts ADD _default ntext NULL
Is there a cleaner way to handle this, i.e. to keep the column name "default" and forse sql server to create a column with this name?
Thank you!
Morning guys,
I have a project where Iam suppose to script all columns in every database/table/columns on the network.
I figured the best way to do this would be using sql-dmo (Sql Server 2000)
Does anyone have any suggestions on getting started with this project?
thanks,
Jonathan
Hello, everyone:
I used bcp to generate a txt file as:
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "SELECT * FROM Test..Orders" queryout "c:/test.txt " -U tester -P tester -c'
It works fine except without column names of table. Does any one have idea that can bring out column names from table?
Thanks
