here a quick rundown of what i want to do:
database
database1
database hold all my good information.
database 2 is the copy for breaking.
Im too a point that i need to get my 2nd DB to by like the first.
I want to truncate all the tables in database2, and then export, or select from insert into.
I just need the data, not triggers or anything like that.
So:
How can i find the name of my tables (not views) in that database
For each (select table_name from system where database="database") copy database.table_name database1.table_name;
i hope that makes sense.
I just need to restore my devel DB back to the original so i can mess it up again,
Thanks
I need a statement or sp that will display, for a given user database, an individual table's fieldnames, datatype, and length. Any help is appreciated. Randy
I have a "case" table describing what type of social worker case and who performed work on the case. Four case workers are referenced within each case and all workers belong to the "worker" table. I am trying to present the case worker name on a detailsView rather then the much simpler task of showing the worker's index stored within the case. I can't seem to get the correlation names working.
SelectCommand="SELECT [ReportID], [RecCreated], tblVCaseType.Description AS cType, [IntakeDate], tblVCounty.Description AS County, [Abuse], [Neglect], [Dependency], [AfterHours], [Screenout], tblVScreenOutcome.Description AS Outcome, [Closed], [ClosedDate], iWorker.[Worker Name], cWorker.[Worker Name] , tblVAssessmentType.Description AS aType, tblVTimeframe.Description AS tFrame, tblVDisposition.Description AS Dispo , tblVProgramXfer.Description AS Xfer,
[Code] ...
Getting only one worker name is easy. But, I need all four. I have tried many versions without success. The error from this version is repeated 4X:
The multi-part identifier "tblVWorker.ID" could not be bound.
I am designing a package to export staging tables into a flat file.The names of the tables will be: TableAStaging_YYYYMM and TableBStaging_YYYYMM. As you can see the names of the tables will be changing each month.
The flat files will have similar naming: C:MyPathFlatFileTableAStaging__YYYYMM and C:MyPathFlatFileTableAStaging__YYYYMM.I want to run the package as an sql job in two steps, one for each table.I need to dynamically pass the table names and file names (together with the path) to the IS package.
I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how we could find the table names and column names of the tables in our Sql server database at runtime/dynamically given our connection string? Please let me know.
I've tried declaring and setting variables in my sql statement and then trying to use them instead of defining a column directly - sorry quite hard to explain, i'll do a simple example
eg
DECLARE @column DECLARE @value SET @column = 'col1' SET @value = 'bloggs'
Select * FROM table1 WHERE @column = @value
It keeps returning no results even though i've tried
Select * FROM table1 WHERE col1 = 'bloggs' -- which returns results
I realise its the column which is not being selected, but there must be a way by using a variable?
I have a quick question on SQL Server. Lets say I have table Order which has column names OrderId, CustomerName, OrderDate and NumberofItems. To select the OrderID values from the table I say Select OrderId from Order. But in the select if I want the column name to be variable how do I do it. I tried the following code through a stored procedure.
The code above gave me the string "OrderID" as many times as there were rows in the table but I could never get the actuall values in the OrderId column. Can you please send me some ideas or code where I can get values from the column names and at the same time change the column name dynamically.
I am trying to run a select query and getting the following error: Server: Msg 1013, Level 15, State 1, Line 12 Tables or functions 'PatientVisit' and 'PatientVisit' have the same exposed names. Use correlation names to distinguish them.
Not sure what I am doing wrong! Here is the query. Can anyone point me int the right direction?
SELECT Batch.Entry AS [Date Of Entry], PatientProfile.[Last] + ', ' + PatientProfile.[First] AS Name, MedLists.Description AS [Adjustment Type], PatientVisit.TicketNumber, PatientVisitProcs.Code AS [Procedure Code], TransactionDistributions.Amount AS [Adjustment Amount], PatientVisitProcs.DateOfServiceFrom, ISNULL(CONVERT(varchar(255), Transactions.Note), ' ') AS Notes, DoctorFacility.DotID, DoctorFacility.ListName as DrName, PatientVisit.DoctorID as DrID FROM PaymentMethod INNER JOIN VisitTransactions ON PaymentMethod.PaymentMethodId = VisitTransactions.PaymentMethodId INNER JOIN Transactions ON VisitTransactions.VisitTransactionsId = Transactions.VisitTransactionsId INNER JOIN TransactionDistributions ON Transactions.TransactionsId = TransactionDistributions.TransactionsId INNER JOIN Batch ON PaymentMethod.BatchId = Batch.BatchId INNER JOIN PatientVisit ON VisitTransactions.PatientVisitid = PatientVisit.PatientVisitId Inner Join PatientVisit ON DoctorFacility.DoctorFacilityID = PatientVisit.DoctorID INNER JOIN PatientProfile ON PatientVisit.PatientProfileId = PatientProfile.PatientProfileId INNER JOIN MedLists ON Transactions.ActionTypeMId = MedLists.MedListsId INNER JOIN PatientVisitProcs ON TransactionDistributions.PatientVisitProcsId = PatientVisitProcs.PatientVisitProcsId
I do a SELECT * from table command in an ASP page to build a text fileout on our server, but the export is not to allow a field name rows ofrecords.

Does anyone know a select statement that would return the column namesand keys and indexes of a table?Thanks,TGru*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
Hello, Maybe anyone have done that before? I have table where i store SOURCE_TABLE_NAME and DESTINATION_TABLE_NAME, there is about 120+ tables. i need make SSIS package which selects SOURCE_TABLE_NAME from source ole db, and loads it to DESTINATION_TABLE_NAME in destination ole db.
I made such SSIS package. set ole db source data access mode to table or view name variable. set ole db destination data access mode to table or view name variable. set to variables defoult values (names of existing tables) but when i loop table names is changed, it reports error, that can map columns, becouse in new tables is different columns.
How do I use table names stored in variables in stored procedures?
Code Snippetif (select count(*) from @tablename) = 0 or (select count(*) from @tablename) = 1000000
I receive the error 'must declare table variable '@tablename''
I've looked into table variables and they are not what I would require to accomplish what is needed. After browsing through the forums I believe I need to use dynamic sql particuarly involving sp_executesql. However, I am pretty new at sql and do not really understand how to use this and receive an output parameter from it(msdn kind of confuses me too). I am tryin got receive an integer count of the records from a certain table which can change to anything depending on what the user requires.
Code Snippet
if exists(Select * from sysobjects where name = @temptablename) drop table @temptablename
It does not like the 'drop table @temptablename' part here. This probably wouldn't be an issue if I could get temporary tables to work, however when I use temporary tables i get invalid object '#temptable'.
Heres what the stored procedure does. I duplicate a table that is going to be modified by using 'select into temptable' I add the records required using 'Insert into temptable(Columns) Select(Columns)f rom TableA' then I truncate the original table that is being modified and insert the temporary table into the original.
Heres the actual SQL query that produces the temporary table error.
Code Snippet Select * into #temptableabcd from TableA
Insert into #temptableabcd(ColumnA, ColumnB,Field_01, Field_02) SELECT ColumnA, ColumnB, Sum(ABC_01) as 'Field_01', Sum(ABC_02) as 'Field_02', FROM TableB where ColumnB = 003860 Group By ColumnA, ColumnB
TRUNCATE TABLE TableA
Insert into TableA(ColumnA, ColumnB,Field_01, Field_02) Select ColumnA, ColumnB, Sum(Field_01) as 'Field_01', Sum('Field_02) as 'Field_02', From #temptableabcd Group by ColumnA, ColumnB
The above coding produces
Msg 208, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Invalid object name '#temptableabcd'.
Why does this seem to work when I use an actual table? With an actual table the SQL runs smoothly, however that creates the table names as a variable problem from above. Is there certain limitation with temporary tables in stored procedures? How would I get the temporary table to work in this case if possible?
I have a function that returns a table from a comma-delimited string.
I want to take this a step further and create a function that will return a set of tablenames in a table based on a 'group' parameter which is a simple integer...1->9, etc.Obviously, what I am doing is not working out.
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fnReturnTablesForGroup ( @whichgroup int ) RETURNS @RETTAB TABLE ( TABLENAME VARCHAR(50)
Hello, It is possible to write stored procedures which take table names as parameters; is it also possible to do this with table valued functions?
For example, a simple stored procedure is this:
CREATE PROCEDURE SelectTop(@tableName sysname) AS BEGIN
Execute('Select top 10 * from ' + @tableName + ';')
END
I want to be able to do the analogous thing with a table valued function (so that I can query the result set, without having to create a temp table). How should I do this (i.e., pass a tablename as an argument to a table valued function)?
I hope someone can answer this, I'm not even sure where to start looking for documentation on this. The SQL query I'm referencing is included at the bottom of this post.
I have a query with 3 select statements joined together like tables. It works great, except for the fact that I need to declare a variable and make it a table within two of those 3. The example is below. You'll see that I have three select statements made into tables A, B, and C, and that table A has a variable @years, which is a table.
This works when I just run table A by itself, but when I execute the entire query, I get an error about the "declare" keyword, and then some other errors near the word "as" and the ")" character. These are some of those errors that I find pretty meaningless that just mean I've really thrown something off.
So, am I not allowed to declare a variable within these SELECT tables that I'm creating and joining?
Thanks in advance, Andy

Hi there. I haven't been able to figure out how to join a table on column on multiple table names. Here's the situation:
I have a table "tblJob" with a key of jobID. Now for every jobID, the program creates a new table that keeps track of the stock before the jobId was processed and after it was processed to give accurate stock levels and show the difference in stock levels. So, a jobID of 355 would be related to the table: "tblPreStock_335" and "tblPostStock_335". These 2 tables have all the materials in stock and the quantity. Therefore they show how much material was used. I need to figure out the difference in the material in the stock before and after the processing.
That means that I have to get a stockID, get the associated pre and post tables, and then display the difference of ALL the materials in the pre and post tables.
Could someone help me get started on the right path? Even a link to similiar problem that I haven't found would be nice.
I like to print the table names that starts with 'table'. I'm getting the same table name four times. Instead of four different table name.
create table table1(tableID int, tableName varchar (30)) insert table1 select 1, 'tableSam' union all select 2, 'tableDaniel' union all select 3, 'tableRon' union all select 4, 'tableKen' union all select 5, 'tableHonda'
create table table2(tableID int, tableName varchar (30)) insert table2 select 6, 'tableSam' union all select 7, 'tableDaniel' union all select 8, 'tableRon' union all select 9, 'tableKen' union all select 10, 'tableHonda'
create table table3(tableID int, tableName varchar (30)) insert table3 select 11, 'tableSam' union all select 12, 'tableDaniel' union all select 13, 'tableRon' union all select 14, 'tableKen' union all select 15, 'tableHonda'
create table table4 (tableID int, tableName varchar (30)) insert table4 select 16, 'tableSam' union all select 17, 'tableDaniel' union all select 18, 'tableRon' union all select 19, 'tableKen' union all select 10, 'tableHonda'
declare @string varchar(330) declare @tableName varchar(30) declare @count int set @count = 0
while (@count < 5) begin
select @tableName = table_name from information_schema.tables where table_name like 'table%'
In SQL Server Management Studio when browsing the tables they are all prefixed with dbo followed by the table name. Is there a way of turning this off.
Hi all, 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') but i want to know the table names too? 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... can someone pls tell me the sql statement to 1)Select all the tables in SQL server(only the ones created by me) 2)Select all the column names from a given table
Please help, I am inserting data into a newly created table with many rows similar to thoes below using a sp with a parameter @Extract CREATE PROCEDURE mytest @Extract int AS DECLARE @MyName varchar(25)--these keep changing for each total DECLARE @Counter varchar(2)--this will increment from 2 to 40 SELECT @MyName ='tblG3>74Ex' +convert(varchar(3), @Extract) SET @total1 =(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM @MyName WHERE (sSurgery_id ="S0" + @Counter) and (iExtract_nm = @Extract) SELECT @MyName ='tblG335-74Ex' +convert(varchar(3), @Extract) SET @total2 = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM @MyName WHERE (sSurgery_id ="S0" + @Counter)and (iExtract_nm =@Extract) insert into tblNew([35-74],[>74],etc,etc,Report4) values (@total1,@total2,ect,ect,@report4) it all works until I try to use the @MyName Please put me out of my misery Many thanks David
While setting up a BCP in a DTS package, I've found a rather annoying 'feature' in DTS. When selecting the destination table, the display does not provide enough spaces to see the full table name. It is a drop down with a set width, and the database and owner are displayed with the table name. I hadn't noticed this problem in the past, but the database I'm working with now has several tables that start with the same letters, and when the drop down displays them, they all look the same.
Does anyone know of a work around for this so that I can see the full table names? Even being able to see them after the package is created would be nice, because then I could check to see if I guessed the correct table.
