SQL2005 Collation Problem Between Fn_ListExtendedProperty And Information_schema.Tables ?
Apr 25, 2008
Hi,
we've just installed SQL2005 and, as expected, are hitting problems with collation settings.
We have made sure that the collation of our new server is the same as the old (working) SQL2000 server (both are Latin1_General_CI_AS) but a function that works fine on the 2000 box just doesn't work on the 2005 box.
The problem is this...
Code Snippet
select *
from information_schema.[tables] as t
left join :: fn_ListExtendedProperty('MS_Description','user','dbo','table',null,null,null) as xp on ( xp.objname = t.table_name )
...where that string comparison on "table_name" results in...
"Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "Latin1_General_CI_AS" and "Latin1_General_CI_AI" in the equal to operation."
Now... I can't see where the "Latin1_General_CI_AI" is coming from. The two data sources are both "system" sources, so should, I would have thought, been the same. If I do...
execute sp_help "information_schema.tables"
...all the columns are Latin1_General_CI_AS. If I do...
execute sp_help fn_ListExtendedProperty
...the same collation is returned for all columns.
I've checked everything I can think of (server, master, tempdb, etc.), and everything seems to be "AS".
Where might this "AI" collation be defined ? We have only just installed 2005, so a re-install, while a pain, is not a massive problem, but what should we check/change ?
Thanks

Hi:
from SQL2005 information_schema, I don't see anything related to default constraint.
So, I still need the old way to use old stuff such as
from sysobjects sobj inner join syscolumns scolumn.
I need to check existing 3000 databases to drop any possible default for tableA.columnB's default and then add a new one.
I thought SQL2005 will stop let us to query system table to retrieve table structure info including default, but only via information_schema? :rolleyes:
thanks

Hi:
I am new to SQLSERVER, so I am trying to learn from all these database views, in Oracle it use 'desc all_tables ' to database dictionary view, can some one tell me how to view SQLserver dictionary view like INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES, or sys.tables?
IF I login as sa, but I only want to view the table list one schema at a time? how do I do that?
I tried :
select table_name from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
where table_schema='CIT'....
select table_name from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
where table_schema='CIT.DBO'.... give 0 result too.
it give me 0 result, but if I login as CIT, then
'select table_name from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES' will give 14 tables.
Plus, When I log into Query analyzer, all the tables has dbo. prefix. , why is that?
Thanks a lot

The following code example to returns table space usage in my databases, except for AdventureWorks.
When I "USE AdventureWorks", I get the following message. "Invalid object name 'INFORMATION_SCHEMA.tables'."
Why is AdventureWorks different? Thanks. Bill
USE AdventureWorks
-- Declare variables
DECLARE @AWTables TABLE (SchemaTable varchar(100))
DECLARE @TableName varchar(100)
--Insert Table names into the TABLE variable
INSERT @AWTables
(SchemaTable)
SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA + '.' + TABLE_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.tables
WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
ORDER BY TABLE_SCHEMA + '.' + TABLE_NAME
-- Report on each table using sp_spaceused
WHILE (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM @AWTables) > 0
BEGIN
SELECT TOP 1 @TableName = SchemaTable
FROM @AWTables
ORDER BY SchemaTable
EXEC sp_spaceused @TableName
DELETE @AWTables
WHERE SchemaTable = @TableName
END

Hi,
I have a "master" table that holds the names of data tables (one record in the "master" table for each "data" table).
Can I create a ForeignKey constraint that will prevent the "master" table records from being removed if the cooresponding "data" table exists? Is the way to do this to use INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES as the PrimaryKeyTable for the ForeignKey?
Thanks!

Hi there,Is it posible to set the collation of SQL server 2005 like Oracle, which isthat objects names and column names are case-insensitive, but data issensitive;e.g:In Oracle:--create lower-case table and column namecreate table t1(c1 char(10));--Mike with upper-case Jinsert into t1 values('Mike');--follwoing I'm changing case in the table name, but it works, however'Mike' has to be with uppewr case Mselect * from T1 where c1='Mike'Above test fails in SQL server. Is there a collation which can make data'literals' sensitive, but data dictionary or the object names and columnnames case insensitive?TIA,Nasir

I am setting up a template.ini for my SQL2005 installs. The documentation on the INI file is great up until the "SQLCOLLATION" section.
How do I choose the SQL Collation: "Dictionary order, case-insensitive, uppercase preference, for use with 1250 Character Set" ?
SQLCOLLATION=???????

Problem is, the database collation is "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and some fields of some tables have the collation "Latin1_General_CI_AS". You know the Problem ... ;-)
As I don't want to change the columns one by one, I want to ask how can I change collation of all column in a table by 1 Transact SQL? Or how can I change the collation of all the tables?
Thanks, ON

Hi all,
I have a query that I need to run where I join two tables that both
reside on different servers. I use an INNER JOIN statement to attempt
to join these tables, but for some reason I am getting the following
error message...
"
Cannot resolve collation conflict for equal to operation."
The query is as follows...
SELECT TABLE_NAME, LEFT(TABLE_NAME, CHARINDEX('_', TABLE_NAME + '_') - 1) AS Abbreviation
FROM mrcsmis.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
INNER JOIN DEVELCAD1.Portal.dbo.dnl_db_names_log AS imp ON (imp.dnl_table_name = TABLE_NAME)
WHERE (TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE')
Thanks

Hello,
I've restored a SQL Server 2000 database with a Latin1_General_BIN collation from a .dmp file to a SQL Server 2005 server with a default collation of SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. When I try to change the database collation I get hundreds of the following error:
The object 'CK_PM10200_GLPOSTD_00AF8CF' is dependent on database collation. So, in this case, is it even possible to change the collation if there are objects in the database that are dependent on it?
Thanks,
Bruce

Hello everyeone,
I'm very new to this reporting services and am trying to see whether this service can be utilized in our company's sales system.
I've searched quite a few documents about Reporting Service tutorials and it only shows how to make very basic reports, using simple query and one dataset.
Is there any document or manual that shows how to generate a report using a stored procedure or complex queries with temp tables.
If above is not possible, ca I join multiple datasets then?
Please help~...
Thank you in advance!!

This is killing me...and not slowly.
I have a stored procedure (a) which calls another stored procedure (b).
Stored procedure (b) is a C# stored procedure which simply writes out to a file data in XML format. Internally, it calls...select fld1, fld2, fld3, fld4, fld5from #tmptable for xml auto, elements
If I call stored procedure (a) from Query Analyser / SQL Management Studio everything works fine. Perfect.
But....we need this all to run asynchronously. So we used the Service Broker, configured the queues and messages and off we went. All worked as planned except our XML files were empty.
Further investigation showed that if we call select fld1, fld2, fld3, fld4, fld5from #tmptable
- without the 'xml' bits, we got a resultset back. But if we call it with the for xml auto, elements, the reader was empty. No errors are visible in the profiler, but the XmlReader refuses to read.
The binary / extended stored procedure is the same pysical binary that is called from Query analyser that works, but via the Service Broker refuses to do anything XML based. Outputting the data as normal text is cool, but not what we want.
----------------- UPDATE --------------
I changed the code so the CLR Stored proc was fired as a trigger on an update to a table. If I update the table in Query analyser, the trigger fires, the CLR Stored proc is called, the XML is generated.
If I update the table as part of my message handling in the Service Broker queue, the trigger is fired, the CLR Stored proc is called, the XML is generated EMPTY!!! The other TSQL statements work fine, but selecting for xml simply will not work for a procedure called, either implicitly or explicitly from the service broker.

I'm having a really hard time displaying the structure of my database using INFORMATION_SCHEMA. Can this be used with Access? I've used it before for sql databases but when I try it with this access one I get an error message telling me: Can't find file c:...INFORMATION_SCHEMA.mdb
I'm hoping maybe there's another command that works just as well or some other way to get around it.
I'm using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express
and my .aspx pages are coded using VB so any insights would be awesome!
Thanks much,

Hi,
I'd like to get information about tables defined in the SqlCe20 database. So I tried to use the following which doesn't work:
string sql = "SELECT COLUMN_NAME AS CN FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = ?"cmd = new SqlCeCommand(sql, connection);cmd.Parameters.Add(newSqlCeDataParameter("A", DbTypes.NVarChar);cmd.Prepare();//later in codecmd.Parameters[0].Value = tableName;reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();while (reader.Read())....
Here the reader.Read() returns always false indepent of the table name.
In contrast doing the following without parameter works as expected:
reader = cmd.ExecuteReader(string.Format("SELECT COLUMN_NAME AS CN FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = '{0}'", tableName));
while (reader.Read())
Because I have to execute this statemen often I have to use prepared statement with parameters.
How can I get it working?

Hiya,
I'm trying to run reports, some of which have UserEntered as a criteria. So I'm filling up a list with (SELECT * FROM SysUsers WHERE IsLogin = 1), which is also pulling up INFORMATION_SCHEMA as a login. I'm not really sure why this would be an islogin = 1 or issqluser = 1. Is this a server default login,and if yes,why, and what can I do about it?
Thanks,
Sarah

Hi Folks:I'm a little new to SQLServer, so please pardon my ignorance!I've found the INFORMATION_SCHEMA views for TABLES, COLUMNS, andTABLE_CONSTRAINTS. I'm looking for the views that will give me the list ofcolumns by constraint.For instance, if Table1 has a unique key called Table1_UK01, I can find thatunder INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS. But I also need to know thecolumns in that UK constraint. I've triedINFORMATION_SCHEMA.CONSTRAINT_COLUMN_USAGE andINFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE, but the UK I have defined for this usertable doesn't seem to show up in either of those views.Can anyone point me in the right direction? Any sample queries would betremendously appreciated. I'm going to be using this meta-data toautomatically generate quite a bundle of stored procs that do updates basedon finding rows via unique keys...TIA,Dave

Hi
I'm building a data warehouse - my end users connect using Access via ODBC Microsoft SQL Server driver (2000.85.1117.00).
However, whenever they connect using Access via ODBC they get a huge list of sys and INFORMATION_SCHEMA views, in addition to the data warehouse tables they need to access.
How can I remove these sys and INFORMATION_SCHEMA views from the list of tables/views presented to the end user?
I've tried denying access by changing permissions to deny in the public role of the master database - I have also changed permissions in the public role in the data warehouse database. When I do this, the ODBC connection fails to retrieve any objects because it doesn't have access to sys.databases (and various other unspecified objects).
I'm stuck - help!

We have a legacy app where some of our web page urls were hardcoded into the stored procs (SQL 2000 SP4 database). We have changed the system and so changed the hardcoded strings with a value stored in a config table. We used the following query to identify the hardcoded urls (say LegacyPage.asp) €“
select routine_name
from information_schema.routines
where routine_definition like '%LegacyPage.asp?%'
However, even after this we keep getting issues with LegacyPage.asp being referenced. Tracing the code, I found that there is at least one SP (say spHardCoded) which does not turn up in the query, but does have the string LegacyPage.asp? in the routine definition. When I run the following query €“
select routine_name
from information_schema.routines
where
routine_name = 'spHardCoded'
and routine_definition like '%LegacyPage.asp?%'
0 rows are returned!
Am I missing something obvious here or is INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Routines metadata not always updated? Is there any way to force the metadata to be updated, before we query it? Is there a better system catalog view which lets me do the same thing? Any help would be really appreciated.

I ran the following query in Query Analyzer for a 7 column table.SELECT c.name,c.colid FROM syscolumns c WHERE c.id=925962375 ORDER BYc.colidThe results were:I_CSD 1X_STE_XML2I_USR_LCK4T_CRT_RCD5I_USR_CRT_RCD6T_UDT_RCD7I_USR_UDT_RCD8If I use the information_schema view (SELECT column_name,ordinal_position FROM information_schema.columns WHERE table_name ='CSD_XML') I get the same results.The problem is that the colids go from 2 to 4 and the colids gothrough 8 when there are only 7 columns.At one time there was another column in the table, but it has sincebeen dropped and isn't there anymore. It seems that the colids insyscolumns did not update when the column was dropped.Is this because of the way I dropped the column? Is there anything Ican do now that it has happened?

I just upgraded my SQL 2000 server to SQL2005. I forked out all that money, and now it takes 4~5 seconds for a webpage to load. You can see for yourself. It's pathetic. When I ran SQL2000, i was getting instant results on any webpage. I can't find any tool to optimize the tables or databases. And when I used caused SQL Server to use 100% cpu and 500+MB of ram. I can't have this.Can anyone give me some tips as to why SQL 2005 is so slow?
