Is there a way to select out the contents of sys.comments for an object (in this case, a procedure) so that it is nicely formatted?
The reason being, is that I want to update source control with all objects from the live environment (as it has become out of date.... long story). Currently, we have a single script for each object, split in directories for each object type. Anyway, I also want to wrap the objects in our standards (check for object existence, print out success/fail statements, etc).
Any suggestions to make the process more automated and less painfull? I don't want to have to script each object out, manually wrap it in standards and save as that would be perhaps the most tedious task in the world!!!!
Any help here is appreciated, I work in a large software company that has many small teams. I am faced with the issue of some of the other teams are changing the structure of tables and views and even SPs and functions without letting the rest know of these changes.
My question is, is there a way of tracking these changes through a job to alert everyone else in case this situation happens.
I need to get the replacement records between the 2 tables. I have table A and table B with same structure. I have 5 fields. Table A has 50,000 records and table B has 20,000 records. I have fields id , name, address,meter_flag,end_Date.
Some of the records in Table B are just replacement records of table A. I mean for example I have records like this in Table A
id name address meter_flag end_date
23 john 1201 salt lake dr no 2011-12-28
24 tom 1222 gibson ln yes 2011-12-16
25 alex 1334 qayak dr no 2011-12-17
In Table B
23 john 1344 mc kinney st yes 2011-12-18

So here in Table B i have an update for john with id 23 in table A in address field and meter_flag has changed to yes. There is new record with id 25 in table b but that is not in table A. so I need to find all these difference records by querying these 2 table
I have created two table with same data structure. I need realtime effects (i.e. data) on both tables - Table1 & Table2.
Following Points to Consider.
1. Both tables are in the same database.
2. Table1 is using for data entry & I wants the same data in the Table2.
3. If any row insert, update & delete occers on Table1, the same effect should be done on Table2.
4. I need real time data insert, update & delete on Table2.
I knew that using triggers it could be possible, I have successfully created a trigger for inserting new rows (using logical table "Inserted") in Table2 but not succeed for update & delete yet.
I want to understand how can I impletement this successfully without any ambiguity.
I have attached data structure for tables. Thanx...
Using SQL2000. How do I format my select statement to choose one outof 24 different tables? Each table is slightly different and I washoping I could use one select statement and format it on-the-flyinstead of using 24 different ones. I had in mind using a casestatement, something like this:select * fromcase when <input parameter> = 'something1' then tblSomething1case when <input parameter> = 'something2' then tblSomething2...and so on...Thanks for any help.
How would I create a select statement to select all rows from Package (PackageID, Destination, Source) where the CleintID=1 and the PackageID exists in pending packages with a status of 0?
Can this be done using a select statement or would I have to create a view? I'm not too sure!
I'm currently struggeling in creating some SQL script to create stored procedures. I found the following example on MSDN:
Code SnippetUSE pubs IF EXISTS (SELECT name FROM sysobjects WHERE name = 'au_info2' AND type = 'P') DROP PROCEDURE au_info2 GO USE pubs GO CREATE PROCEDURE au_info2 @lastname varchar(30) = 'D%', @firstname varchar(18) = '%' AS SELECT au_lname, au_fname, title, pub_name FROM authors a INNER JOIN titleauthor ta ON a.au_id = ta.au_id INNER JOIN titles t ON t.title_id = ta.title_id INNER JOIN publishers p ON t.pub_id = p.pub_id WHERE au_fname LIKE @firstname AND au_lname LIKE @lastname GO
The thing is, I want to change and use it like this:
Code SnippetUSE pubsIF NOT EXISTS (SELECT name FROM sysobjects CREATE PROCEDURE ...USE pubsGOALTER PROCEDURE au_info2 ... But that does not seem to work.. I get the following error: Code SnippetIncorrect syntax near the keyword 'PROCEDURE' Any idea's? Any help is appreciated! Kind regards, Frederik
Plugging away at my little message board that I am working on, I have hit another SQL snag. I am trying to select a list of all posts in a thread. I have to get each post, the name of the poster (which comes from a different table - referenced by userid), as well as some profil information, from a 3rd table (also referenced by the userid).
Hi all, I have a query similar to this: select "bcp databasename.."+name+" from sysobjects where type = 'U' order by name

I'm trying to select from multiple table in one select statement but i'm having problems. Here is the code i'm trying:

Hi there,I'm new to sql and thus I'm having problems with a specific query which Ihope you guys can help me with.Basicly I have a few tables which I'm trying to do a query on:Table groups contains information about specific groups e.g. "Windows" or"Unix".Table users contains information about specific users e.g. "a", "b" or "c".Table users_groups contain information about group relationship (a user canbe in multiple groups) e.g. (a, Windows), (b, Unix), (a, Unix).In this case user c is ungrouped.Now I'd like to find the users which does belong to group Windows and thosewho do not:select distinct username from users_groups where groupname = "Windows" orderby username asc;This works pretty well for finding users in the specific group. In this casethe result is a.However I'd like to get the opposite result (b and c) but I'm stuck.The problem is that I'd like a list of all users excluding those which arein "Windows"Here is a partial query:select distinct users.username from users left join users_groups onusers.username = users_groups.username where users_groups.username is nullorder by users.username asc;This only gives me those users who are not grouped at all. This mean thatuser b is not in those results.Please advise.Thanks in advance.-- Henrik
Our ERP vendor is helping us migrate from one version of their product to another. In the new version, they have added some columns and changed a few data types in several existing tables.
They sent us a list of the modifications that were necessary, which we did (painstakingly) by hand. But, for other reasons the update failed and we have to start anew.
This got me thinking: is there any way to do this kind of update via a script/stored procedure? I don't have their exact changes handy, but it was stuff like the table "inmast" needs a column of varchar(50) called "lotc" added to it, and the "intime" table needs the datatype of columns "Mon" "Tue" "Wed" changed from text to varchar(50), stuff like that.
I have nearly 1000 table. I need all the table structure in word document. Is it possible to take table structure using Stored Procedure. If it is How to do that.
A newbie question. I am tearing my hair out trying to work out how in Sql Server 2005 to get a printout (or even better a file I can save that i could incroporate in a wrod document), or both, which shows the structure of all the tables in my database.
I want to list all tables (or selected tables perhaps) , and all columns in those tables, with the attributes of each column (nvarchar(2) etc or decimal(18,5) etc). Just a simple listing of all tables and their columns and the attributes of those columns.
Surely this must be possible with a simple one click operation in Sql Server 2005. I have created a database diagram which gives me part of what I want, but that just shows the tables, relationships, and column names, not the attributes of each column which is what I need as well.
I don't want to have to start installing third party products to do this, and I have no great script writing capabilities. Surely such a basic function is easily acheivable with one or two clicks in Sql Server 2005 from a menu somewhere in sql server mangaement studio?
I have the following script that selects tables from my database with the same column name and then I delete data that falls within a specified condition. However what I need to be able to do is just select these tables that meet the condition and then just delete the data because at the moment it's also returning tables that I don't need.
So I just want to use a cursor on a table list that meet the criteria:
1) have qid column name 2) qid >= 5000000 and qid < 1500000000 '
Example
declare @strqry varchar(1000)
declare dailyYear cursor for SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE 'qid' = COLUMN_NAME order by table_name asc open dailyYear fetch next from dailyYear into @DelTable
while @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
begin
Set @strqry = 'Delete from '+@DelTable+' where qid >= 5000000 and qid < 1500000000 '
Is there a quick way to select all the tables in the DB that don't have certain column in the table, so for example getting a list of all tables that don't have columns: A, B or C?
Is it possible to get a list of rows from Multiple tables which have the same Column Name. I have 3 tables which comtain similar info and I want to get a list of Names the structure is
ID;Name;Address;Phone No.
I was thinking something along the lines of SELECT Name FROM TABLE1,TABLE2, TABLE3
But this does not work.
Is there a nice way of doing this with SQL or should I do code outside the SQL DB
Hello Tsql experts, Can you please explain to me what the differnce is between selecting into a table and creating a new tabel and inerting in to it like so:
First way: select names into #ancestors from names
and
second way
create table #names( name varchar(10) )
insert into #names (name) values(name) select names from names
is it just personal choice or performance in one method is better than the other.Can you please explain. Thanks
To get the results of a stored proc into a table you always had to know the structure of the output and create the table upfront.
CREATE TABLE #Tmp ( Key INT NOT NULL, Data Varchar );
INSERT INTO #Tmp EXEC dbo.MyProc
Has SQL 2012 (or SQL 2014) got any features / new tricks to let me discover the table structure of a stored procedure output, - i.e treat it as a table
EXEC dbo.MyProc INTO #NewTmp or SELECT * INTO #NewTmp FROM ( EXEC dbo.MyProc )
Dear Techies,I making one stored procedure, which does some operation based on aninterface hash (#) table ---- name #mydata.This stored has two section of code (seperated by parameter value 0and 1)But hash table #mydata (same name) number/name of columns changes asper call 0 or 1.e.g.when call for 0, ----> Pass 2 columns as company_cd and section_cd ininterface hash (#) table ---- name #mydata.when call for 1, ----> Pass 3 columns as Section_cd, line_cd andsubline_cd in interface hash (#) table ---- name #mydata.As a result, none of the case (0 or 1) is running properly, It givesproblem.When I execute procedure for 0 by passing #mydata with two columns---> it gives problem in 1 section codeAnd When I execute procedure for 1 by passing #mydata with threecolumns ---> it gives problem in 0 section codePlease suggest !!! If anybody have faced the same problem or have anyidea about this case.(I think passing hash table with 3 column as col1,col2,col3 can servethe purpose, but this may cause rework in my case, so looking foralternate solution)Thanks in Advance,T.S.Negi
Hello!I have two tables:Pressreleases:| Pressrelease_ID | PressDate | FilePath | Title |PressLinks:| PressLink_ID | PressLinkDate | PressLinkUrl | PressText |I would like to select the the TOP 3 with the most recent dates from either Pressreleases or PressLinks, and present them in a DataList. How do I do that? Selecting from one table is no problem:SELECT TOP 3 Pressreleases.PressDate, Pressreleases.Filepath, PressReleases.Title FROM Pressreleases ORDER BY PressDate DESCHow do I select from both tables and rename the columns to Date, Path, Text so that I can use it in a Datalist?Thank you in advance!
I want to select columns from different tables into a single table...Not sure if a temp table is suited for this and if so how I should implement it (NOTE: this query will be executed many times by different users at the same time, so I'd rather avoid temp tables!)I have:TABLE1idfirstnamedescriptioncreatedateTABLE2idcarnamespecificationsimportdateNow, I want a resultset that has the columns (columns from other tables from which the values should be retreived are behind the desired columns):id (TABLE1.id, TABLE2.id)title (TABLE1.firstname , TABLE2.carname)description (TABLE1.description , TABLE2.sepcifications)date (TABLE1.createdate , TABLE2.importdate)Thanks!
This is feeling very hard for me, but is surely very easy for many of you. I have 2 Tables. "Events" and "Meals". Both have a columns named "EventDate" and "EventTime". I need to be able to compile a list of both and sort by event date and time. For example, a Meal @ 5:30 would place itself between a 4:00 Event, and a 6:30 Event.
I currently have two tables called Book and JournalPaper, both of which have a column called Publisher. Currently the data in the Publisher column is the Publisher name that is entered straight into either table and has been duplicated in many cases. To tidy this up I have created a new table called Publisher where each entry will have a unique ID.
I now want to remove the Publisher columns from Book and JournalPaper, replace it with an ID foreign key column and move the Publisher name data into the Publisher table. Is there a way I can do this without duplicating the data as some publishers appear several times on both tables?
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated as my limited SQL is not up to this particular challenge!!! Thanks!
I moved this from another forum because it seems more related to replication the longer I look into it! The following code often dies on a deadlock. I have also seen "Spid x blocked by Spid x", where x is the spid of this connection. The view selects from several tables and some other views as well, and many of the underlying tables are being updated by replication. I have seen cases where the replication Insert proc participated in the deadlock, and the table being inserted into is joined twice in the view, suggesting that somehow this causes the deadlock or makes a deadlock more likely?
SELECT * INTO dbo.tbl_stg_LoansMarketingFirstBorrower FROM view_loans_marketing_first_borrower OPTION (MAXDOP 1)
I do not understand how selecting from a view can cause a deadlock with a proc which does not reference tbl_stg_LoansMarketingFirstBorrower. Any suggestions on how to diagnose this? I used (1204) to identify the proc and underlying table.
I have 10 tables, table1, table2, table3, table4.......table10. all these tables have different structure. From each of these tables I want extract data and dump into flat file csv.
So i have OLEDB source and FlatFile Destination.
If i write seperate data flow task for each of the tables, then there is no issue.
But i want to use a single data flow task for all these tables. So for this, i use a variable @SQLStr . And i dynamically set the value of this variable to select * from table1, select * from table2.........selct * from table10.
So in the OLEDB source I select Data Access Mode as : SQL Command from variable. And I use @SQLStr for this varible.
For Destination, i dynamically generate the flat file for each of the table.
But this doesnt work, i get validation errors.
So, first can i use a single data flow task to dynamically change the source(different source tables) and destination. If so, what i am missing in the above process?
I am pulling info out of MSDB to report on job schedules. As we have a mixture of 2005 and 2000 servers, I am varying my select statement according to the result of [Code]
Set @Version = SubString(Convert(VarChar(10), (Select ServerProperty('ProductVersion'))),1,1)
[/Code]
I have to vary the tables for each condition. Not a problem, [Code] if @Version = 9 begin Select whatever from table1 join table2 end Else begin Select whatever from table1 join table3 end
Problem is that SQL 2005 is trying to verify the existence of the fields in the tables on compile (it knows that the table, for example, sysjobschedules exists in 2005, but the field "Name" doesn't - although it does in 2000) , even after the if statement checking if the version is 8, and SQL 2000 uses 2 tables whilst 2005 needs 3, and the fields I need are on one table in 2000, but in a different table in 2005. SQL 2000 is fine with it - it just does it. Syntax checking is fine. Just to clarify, here is my code: [Code]
Declare @Version Char(1), @CurrentDate datetime
Set @CurrentDate = GetDate()
Create Table #TempSchedDetails

)

Hi, I was wanting to know if it is possible to create a left join when selecting from 3 seperate tables.
Select p.Project_name, p.project_id, cp.email_display_name, te.Mon FROM tblProject p, tblCorpPerson cp, tblTimeEntry te WHERE p.Project_ID = te.Project_ID AND p.Person_ID = @PersonID AND cp.Person_ID = p.Person_ID
I need to return all rows from tblProject, and any matching project_id's from tblTimeEntry.
