Search Entire Database For Keywords Inside Of Columns For Each Table

Sep 18, 2013

I'm trying to create a query that searches an entire database for keywords inside of the columns for each table within the database. For instance my tables have 2 columns one named ID and the other Permission, I'd like it be able to return all the lines that are associated with that keyword. So if I search "Schedule" it returns all the lines containing that word in it within that database.

Database Collection

Feb 27, 2004

I recently migrated a database from server A to server B. The backup jobs I am trying to build on server B are failing because of the following error:
--------------
[Microsoft SQL-DMO] Error 21776: [SQL-DMO]The name 'WinDat' was not found in the Databases collection. If the name is a qualified name, use [] to separate various parts of the name, and try again.

How do I add this database to the databases collection so it will be recognized?

Thanks in advance for your time and help.

SQL 2000 Database Response Hangs After Cluster Failover Only When Active Connections Were Present

Sep 26, 2007

I have a Microsoft Cluster running on Server 2003 Entrprise. SQL 2000 8.00.2039 (SP4). 5gb physical memory installed.

With the databases online we run a test failover from the Cluster administrator. It takes about 30-40 seconds and completes without generating any Server Event log errors nor SQL log errors. Everything looks good from an administrative stand point.

However, when we test with running a series of queries to the databases, then failover, we notice that it can take up to 3 or 4 minutes before some of the databases will respond. Connections are not refused, they just sit there.

How can we troubleshoot this or does anyone have a similiar experience with this scenario?

Integration Services :: Fetch Data From Netezza Database Based On Values Present In Excel Using SSIS

Aug 7, 2015

I have an excel sheet containing one column (ID_NO) with 400K rows. I have a database from where I have to fetch some other columns from a Netezza database. Initially I tried hardcoding all the 400K rows in the query that I wrote using filter WHERE ID IN ('1212','2334'). But after pasting all the 400K rows the query is running indefinitely.

I have imported all the ID in a SQL table (MY_LIST table). I used a DFT, and selected ODBC source, and selected my netezza server. Then in the 'Data access mode' I selected the SQL command from the dropdown.I pasted the same query that I wrote in Netezza. Is there any way to pull only for those records that I have pulled in my SQL table (MY_LIST) ?

Searching A Database...

Jul 26, 2006

Hi,

This is the first database I have ever created, so please bear with me.

I've created a simple database with 1 column and about 80,000 rows. In each row is a word (basically a dictionary without definitions).

I have written a query which works, and is, as follows (you'll notice that i'm not the most original of people)

SELECT
word
FROM dbo.words
WHERE word= 'hello'

This finds the word hello.

In excel I have a row with 25 letters and then a column with every single combination of letters from 3 to 10 lettered words. (It makes sense to me!)

This comes back with a lot of possibilities (thousands), but is great in the sense that when I change any of the 25 letters the entire column automatically updates.

What I am trying to do is then take all of these possibilities and compare them against the dictionary.

I have written a line in excel which automatically creates a cell a bit like this, for the first couple of thousand possibilities:

WHERE word= 'abc' or word= 'fgm' or word= 'klm' or word= 'pqr' or word= 'uvw' or word= 'bcd' or word= 'ghi' or word= 'lmn' or word= 'qrs' or word= 'vwx'

I then whack this into the query from above and off it goes. The only problem is that the search takes ages, and because of limitations in excel I can't put more than a thousand or so words in the cell.

I am certain there is a faster way of searching through all the possibilities, any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Searching A Database

Oct 4, 2007

Im trying to do a database query based on user input from a text field. I pulled apart the string that was
entered into the search form and stored it in textArray. The problem I
am having is when I include commmon words such as the, near, view and so
on into the search field I end up with zero results. when I only search
for less common words such as rocky and argentina for example the search
works fine. at first I thought that maybe it was generating too many
results and was screwing up but when i search for rocky it works and
when i search for near rocky it doesnt.

I realize the code might not be the most efficient but here it is...


@searches_pages, @searches = paginate(:searches, :per_page => 10,
:conditions => getSearch(textArray,params[:country]))

def getSearch(textArray,selectedCountry )
result = []
string = ""
if selectedCountry != "Optional Field"
string << "country = (?) and "
end
textArray.each do |x|
if textArray[textArray.length - 1] == x
string << "match(country,caption, keywords, notes) against
(?) "
else
string << "match(country, caption, keywords, notes) against
(?) and "
end
end
result << string
if selectedCountry != "Optional Field"
result << selectedCountry
end
textArray.each do |x|
result << x
end
result
end

Im not sure if i supplied enough information but I am trying to finish
this project soon so any type of responses would help. Also, if there
is an easier way to do an sql search based off of what is entered into
the search field please let me know. The reason I did this is because I
wasn't sure how many words the user would be entering into the field.
And without knowing this I could not hard code the conditions => so I
wrote a helper method.

Database Searching

Jan 28, 2008


I am finishing up my senior project application but I wanted to include a search function that would search all the tables of the database and look for matching text that is input by the user. I am not really looking for code or anything just some pointers in the right direction. I was thinking that I would have to create a view that is populated by a sub-query. My problem is how do I output the results of a search of every relevent table in the database when they all have very different column names and data types? Im guessing column aliases are involved somehow but I am not really sure where I should start. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Searching For Values Within A Database?

Oct 2, 2014

I've been given read access to a database and I also am looking at a GUI which draws data from the database. I am trying to map the results I see from the GUI to find the columns that the data is in... So.. big database, takes a long time to search the entire thing so I try to narrow it down by the following:

Code:
select * from information_schema.columns where table_schema = 'db19' and table_catalog = 'masterdb' and
table_name in(select table_name from information_schema.tables where table_type = 'base table' and table_catalog = 'masterdb' and table_schema = 'db19' and data_type in ('text' and 'varchar'))

This essentially gives me a list of tables and columns whos data type is either text or varchar. Once I have this list... I then run the following on each:

Code:
select top 1 [col_name] from [table_name] where [col_name] like ' (here is the value I want to search) '

So this runs through each table, looking to see if a value exists and if so, prints the result.

I am then left with a much much smaller list that I can manually look through and find the one I am looking to specifically find.

Is it possible to do this running only one query... where the output gives me all the columns in with a specific data type that contain a value I enter Anything else to make this more efficient

I am aware that there are data mining programs that could probably do this however I only have read access on the database which often causes a problem. The application I am using is "Aqua Data Studio" ....

Searching An Entire Database

Dec 28, 2005

Hi, this is my first post on these forums, so please excuse me if this topic has already been covered.

I'm currently working in a power station for student vacation work placement. I need to export data from a database that gets it's data from machinery and inputs out in the plant. The machines that provide this input put it into a database, and I need to find the relevant data to export.

My problem is that, in some cases, the sample data that i'm given may be under different field names, in a completely unrelated table. I was looking for a way to search the entire database (250+ tables) for a certain string, so I can find where it is in the database, and run queries on the table it originates from. For example:

My sample data shows me that I have an object with the ID Y03A3DEA_TH1. I know this ID will occur somewhere else in the database, but i'm just not sure where.

If anyone knows of any way that I can search the entire database for specific data, either using tools in MS SQL 2000, or 3rd party apps, i would greatly appreciate their help.

Thanks a lot,
Jack Smith

Searching A Database Field For Null Value

Feb 27, 2008

Hi,
I am building a website in ASP.net C# for a university project, and would like to search a table (Member) for a field (UserName) using a session variable Session["sUserName"]. If that field is null, then I would like to insert that session variable into the field to start to create a new user. However, I am getting errors saying that I am using invalid expression terms. My code is;
//Create the Command, passing in the SQL statement and the ConnectionString queryString = "SELECT UserName FROM Member WHERE (UserName = @myUsername); ";
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(queryString, sqlConn);cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@myUsername", Convert.ToString(Session["sUserName"])));
//If UserName is null, display confirmation, else display errorif (UserName == null) ;
{UserNameCheckLabel.Text = "Username okay";
String queryString = "INSERT INTO Member (UserName) VALUES(@myUsername); ";SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(queryString, sqlConn); cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@myUsername", Convert.ToString(Session["sUserName"])));
}else;
{UserNameCheckLabel.Text = "That username is in use";
}
I have a feeling I should be checking the database for the UserName, but I'm not sure whether to put this in the SELECT statement part or as a method... I would be most grateful for any advice!
Many thanks,
Chima

Searching Problem In Myanmar Text Database

Nov 13, 2006

Hi!

I found a problem while retrieving/searching/filtering Myanmar Text with a Select Statement, In a Myanmar Text table there in a column called HeadWords.

It's Sample Data
HWID,HeadWords
1,|က|
2,|ကာ|
3,|ကိ|
4,|ကီ|
5,|ကဲ|

I want to make the following search:
SELECT * FROM TableName WHERE HeadWords LIKE '%|က|%' this should give me all entries that have a "|က|" *ANY* place in the HeadWords column. Right?

However, it gives me unproper results. you may see last two records have 2 characters between pipe(|).
HWID,HeadWords
1,|က|
3,|ကိ|
5,|ကဲ|

Since the wildcard character % means no or all characters it should work. And I've tried pipe, comma, forward slash and back slash.

The problem only seems to occur when the wildcard character is used for the any part of character. Let me know alternative way to search that matters. I've tried in MSAccess. There are same problem like MSSQL.

It's any problem in searching support for National Characters (UTF8). I've tried in OpenOffice Database with those data.
It's work fine.

If you not see Myanmar characters, please download fonts from http://www.fontmm.com/font_downloads.htm

Does anybody have an explanation to this, please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

Searching For Textbook That Deals With Design Of Database Servers

Jul 20, 2005

Database design is well covered in undergrad CS. But does anyone know ofa textbook that deals with the design of database servers (and probablytouches on databases themselves), and perhaps deals with interpreting SQLinquiries?The motivation for this is that I wish to write a database server for aproprietaryoperating system (it resembles POSIX, but is not completely compliant)for an embedded processor system that exchanges queries from clients alsoemploying embedded processors. Stored data is all in one place.I'm a little familiar with the MySQL source code, but I don'twish to replicate something that complex. The sort of investmentI'm talking about should involve no more than three man, er, person-monthsby an experienced C++ programmer with plenty of experience in systemsand database programming for both Microsoft and Linux platforms.

Are Embedded Views (Views Within Views...) Evil And If So Why?

Apr 3, 2006

Fellow database developers,I would like to draw on your experience with views. I have a databasethat includes many views. Sometimes, views contains other views, andthose views in turn may contain views. In fact, I have some views inmy database that are a product of nested views of up to 6 levels deep!The reason we did this was.1. Object-oriented in nature. Makes it easy to work with them.2. Changing an underlying view (adding new fields, removing etc),automatically the higher up views inherit this new information. Thismake maintenance very easy.3. These nested views are only ever used for the reporting side of ourapplication, not for the day-to-day database use by the application.We use Crystal Reports and Crystal is smart enough (can't believe Ijust said that about Crystal) to only pull back the fields that arebeing accessed by the report. In other words, Crystal will issue aSelect field1, field2, field3 from ReportingView Where .... eventhough "ReportingView" contains a long list of fields.Problems I can see.1. Parent views generally use "Select * From childview". This meansthat we have to execute a "sp_refreshview" command against all viewswhenever child views are altered.2. Parent views return a lot of information that isn't necessarilyused.3. Makes it harder to track down exactly where the information iscoming from. You have to drill right through to the child view to seethe raw table joins etc.Does anyone have any comments on this database design? I would love tohear your opinions and tales from the trenches.Best regards,Rod.
