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

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 ?
I've just been looking at a new 2005 install and found 3 logins:SERV1SQLServer2005SQLAgentUser$SERV1$MSSQLSERVERSERV1SQLServer2005MSSQLUser$SERV1$MSSQLSERVERSERV1SQLServer2005MSFTEUser$SERV1$MSSQLSERVERAre these logins created during the install of SQLServer2005 by defaultand what are they used for ? Can they be deleted safely ? If they arerequired, can the names be set during install to something else ?TIALaurence Breeze
i am attempting to run phpbb using ms sql 2005 on the same box but get the following error during the setup
Could not connect to the database, see error message below. [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
i am not sure yet if this is an issue with sql, php or phpbb
php is installed in iis and has all the modules installed which the php msi installer supported. i can run php code but in this case when i'm running the install.php file for the phphbb setup, i fill in the values for the database and got that error
phpbb detects all the required server settings and sees that i have ms sql installed
any suggestions on what that error means or how to go about configuring odbc driver?
probably a simple issue. but i'm still new with sql stuff
I have a server with sql server 2005 installed as the default instance -- I have a piece of software that needs SQL2000 to be the default instance. Is there a way other than install new sql2005 named instance and move databases to rename my SQL2005 instance from <machinename> to <machinename>sql05 for example?
When the procedure : sp_tables is executed (master db), the table owners are either dbo or INFORMATION_SCHEMA, any detail about this last ? (to be precise, table_type is view and not table).
I need to change a column default to '' and not null for 1500 databases accross 10 servers.
if exists (select * from information_schema.columns where table_name = 'tblABC' and column_name = 'columnX' and data_type = 'VARCHAR' and is_nullable = 'No' and column_default = '('')' ) begin --do something to implement end
Here, there is a problem for and column_default = '('')' I have tried ''''+'('')' + '''' or "'('')'", neither works. Do you have any idea to deal with the ('') ?
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!
Hi I need to see all the indexes in a database. The ID has dbo rightsto the database, but not to the master. I can't see anything inINFORMATION_SCHEMA.CHECK_CONSTRAINTS orINFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGEAn sa ID for the master sees everything however.Thanks for your helpPachydermitis
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.
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?
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?
how do i return only the tables created by the user? in three of my databases i am inserting one record per 5 secs. in all the tables. how good is using triggers for 'insert instead of' for these tables?
Hi, I'm working with MSSQL2K+SP3a, Standard Edition. I defined linked server (MSDE). On the local server, I can do select * from [testDB].[INFORMATION_SCHEMA].[TABLES] -- local
select * from [testSRV].[testDB_far].[dbo].[sysobjects] -- linked
but not
select * from [testSRV].[testDB_far].[INFORMATION_SCHEMA].[TABLES]
How can I access the INFORMATION_SCHEMA on the linked server ?
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?
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?
I am unable to install 32-bit SQL Server Integration Services on the server due to something that was left behind by the 64-bit version.
I've uninstalled SQL Server 2005 64-bit and when I try to install the 32-bit version of Integration Services, I get this error: "Failed to install and configure assemblies C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90DTSTasksMicrosoft.SqlServer.MSMQTask.dll in the COM+ catalog. Error: -2146233087 Error message: Unknown error 0x80131501 Error descrition: FATAL: Could not find component 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Task.MessageQueueTask.ServCompMQTask' we just installed."
I can't seem to figure out how to resolve this problem with the COM+ and I can't remember if Integration Services is required.
I have some production boxes on Win 2000 32-bits OS and some production servers have been upgraded to Win2003 64-bit OS runing SQL Server 2005. There are also a number of Win2003 32-bit OS running SQL 2005.
The issue is that when linking the 64-bit production servers to the 32-bit boxes running SQL 2005 / Win 2003 OS, the linking seems to succeed, but I am unable to see a number of entries in sys.objects. Typically, these objects are User Stored Procedures.
Moreover, the linking seemed to have worked, but data extraction does not take place between the servers. However, there are no errors. The objects (user stored procs) exist on the 64-bit side, but linking does not actually happen.
Microsoft KB has addressed this in SQL 2000 case in this KB article, but has not suggested a solution for SQL 2005.
Hi, Does anyone have a workaround or know of a fix to this problem: Default value set to 'date pick' from date currently within field by setting value equal to that field . ie if date is 01/01/2010 date picker opens in Jan 2010 - works ok. However, once published to Sharepoint and run through browser the Date Picker ignores the default value and the date picker opens for today. ie April 2008.
when iam trying to open a table in sqlserver 2005 it is showing an error as SELECT permission denied on object 'LoginDetails', database 'LOGIN', schema 'dbo'. how to rectify the error. plz help me. Thnaks in advance.
Is it possible to say sql server 2005 to use this much number of CPU..?
For Example I have 1 CPU License of SQL 2005, but I have 2 sockets in my physical box. One socket is having 2 cores. So I want to say the SQL server (2005) to use the 2 cpu's only( i.e Any of one socket)
Please advise me to do this.
I have one more question, Is there any CPU limitation for SQL 2005 and 2008? If Yes how much cpu we can allot for the SQL 2005 and 2008
