I found a few 'SearchAllTables' scripts out there to find a value in any table/column/row of any Database.
My problem is that none of these database search queries seem to look at primary key values.
The value I'm looking for is a primary key - I need to find all the other tables that have this primary key value.
how I could accomplish this?
I need to search all tables in my user database to find a value. I don't know what the column name is.
I know of one table that contains the value, but I need to look through all the tables and all there columns to see if I can find if this value exists in more than one place. It is an int value - 394789.
Hi all,How can get the primary key string from the given table name? i knowit should from system tables of "sysobjects, syscolumns, andsysconstraints", but when i execute the statement like that:select a.name from syscolumns a,sysobjects b,sysconstraints cwhere a.id = b.id and b.name ='Agreement' and a.id = c.id and a.colid= c.colid and c.status = 1i can't get the primary key out, what the trick here? bye the sql helpfile,'status' in sysconstraints table:1 = PRIMARY KEY constraint.2 = UNIQUE KEY constraint.what is exact value refers to PRIMARY KEY constraint?thanks,Robert

primary key. I need this information in order to determine whether I can setup database replication or not. I believe all tables
involved with a replication need to be indexed on the primary key. Does anyone know of a stored procedure or command file that
will provide this information for me in a timely manner? I've used the sp_pkeys stored procedure but it is very time consuming
running this against one table at a time.
since ten years perhpas the society has a database with some table (person, country, and so on)since last years , the project manager decides to create a new database with some new design because before some information was save in one table well, the problem is when we pass all application to the new model we've notice that some id are not the same !
sample :
table Language old model
-------------------------
id frenchDescription english description
----------------------------------------
3 Anglais English
.....
......
table Language new model
id frenchDescription english description
-----------------------------------------
5 Anglais English
.....
.....
Alright , you can understand that the new model must be the same id => 3
my question is how to modify id on the table ?
Example
Select *
from TableName Where Contains(ColumnToBeSearched, 'testtosearch')
QUESTION: Can the 'testtosearch' be another table field like ''' + <AnotherTBLField> + '''Is there anyway to make the population of 'testtosearch' to be based on another table field (say when you join to it)?If not what else can I do, another function maybe?

How can i find the primary field name and primary table name of a given foreign key.
For example
Table A:
IDa
Column1
Column2
Column3
Table B:
IDb
column1
column2
column3 <---- this is foreign key to table A's IDa
What i want to do is i pass input of tableB, column3 and i get name of Primary tableA and field name IDa. How is it possible to do in tsql ?
Are the XML tags searched, as well as, the contents within the tags, when an xml column is included in a full-text index? Or is it only the contents within the tags? Would I need to combine full-text search with XPath/XQuery to get at the actual tags?

I'm trying to integrate the security settings for our system into the reports and search and its a nightmare trying to fit in all the rules.
Basically I have a massive custom search query which I now have filter even further. [URL] for previous discussions on this query, which I'm currently happy with).
so we have 6 different types of transactions. each type can have different admins. the search can be done for either 1 type or all types.Transactions by default are available to everyone, But there are a few (probably less than 1% of all) that security is enabled which is simply done by added people to the security table.
each transaction can be see by
* Everyone If no record found in security table for transaction.
* If even just one transaction found, the below have permission to view it.
- Person who raised transaction
- person currently responsible for it.
- person currently working on it.
- everyone in the security table for this transaction.
- Admins for this Transaction Type.
So when someone does a search I need to fit all the above. Because I'm building the search query it does make it a little easier to accommodate the various scenarios.And I think I have them all EXCEPT someone who is trying to search for records under ALL types, but is an admin of just 1 or 2 of the types. Ie they have too be able to see all records for those they are admins for, and then have normal security imposed for the other types of records.
The section near "DECLARE @IsUserAdmin AS BIT" sets admin flags for when they are an admin of a single type if searching for a single type, or sets admin flag if they are an admin for all types.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[uspJobSearch]
@csType as nvarchar(20) = '-1',

I've a table that stores operationcode for each jobnumber. The jobnumber can have multiple operationcode. From the below DDL, I need to show all the jobs that have operation codes as 2001 and 2002. In the below DDL Jobnumber 80011 has both the operation codes 2001 and 2002 so this job will display on the report.
On the other hand Job 80021 only has operationcode 2001 and I do not want this job to show up on the report.
I need to show all the operationcodes for a job if it has operationcode 2001 and 2002.

I have a table of raw data where each column can be null. The thought was to create an identity key (1,1) and set as primary for each row. (name/ address / zip/country/joindate/spending) with surrogate key: "pkid".However other queries will not use this primary key. So for instance they may count the # of folks at a zip, select all names, addresses etc. The queries may order by join date, or select all the people that joined on a specific date.No other code would logically use the primary key (surrogate primary id key), therefore would it still have any performance benefits? at this time the table would have no clustured or nonclustured indexes or keys. I'm curious if there are millions of records.

I am using SQL Server 2008. In one of my table, one column has values like
"MFY RLHH CSQÉ"
"Aamj Gxmolwn Slf Yytrzgan Hiwd Fnlmyw"
So to fetch the data having only special characters in it, I used below query
Select * From Table Where Column Like '%[^0-9a-zA-Z]%' Escape ' '. Its returning both the records. Here I would like to fetch records for those Unicode characters only which are not within 00201 - 0070E [URL].
I have this query currently:
select updatedb.callref, updatedb.updatetxt, updatedb.udsource, opencall.suppgroup
from updatedb
left join opencall
on updatedb.callref=opencall.callref
where udindex = '0'
and suppgroup = 'SUPPORT'
and (updatetxt like '%' + @Word + '%')
And opencall.status <> '17'This means that when they search for items and they separate each word it is "and" between each one.
They would like it to be more fuzzy with "and" and "or". How can I adapt this?
Using a full search index with the following query works with just one parameter.
declare @P0 varchar(50) = '"First*"'
SELECT *
FROM TableName
where contains ((Col1, Col2), @P0)
How do I make it work if I have two parameters, while also protecting the parameters from injection attacks?
declare @P0 varchar(50) = '"First*"'
declare @P1 varchar(50) = '"Second*"'
SELECT *
FROM TableName
where contains ((Col1, Col2), @P0 AND @P1)
If there weren't parameters, you put single quotes around the '@P0 AND @P1' to get this query to work.
In addition, while "where contains((Col1,Col2),@P0) and contains((Col1,Col2),@P1)" works, it appears to increase the execution time.
I have written a query to search for a string in an expression by the number of it's appearance. Script is like this:
DECLARE @Expression VARCHAR(8000) = 'abcd_e_fgh',
@SearchString VARCHAR(10)= '_',
@OccuranceNumber SMALLINT = 1
DECLARE @SearchIndex INT = 0, @SearchIndexPrevious INT = 0, @Sno INT = 0
WHILE @Sno < @OccuranceNumber BEGIN
[Code] .....
Here i'm trying to search "_" in expression "abcd_e_fgh" where it is appearing for first time. it gives me 5 correctly. Now when i change the @OccurenceNumber to 2 or 3, it gives correct values 7 and -1 respectively. However now when i change it to 4, it gives me 5. So when it's trying to check for fifth appearance of "_", it's not actually giving 0 or -1 but repeating the value 5.

How to implement a universal search in my site And it must be give result precised up to 90%.
Scenario is like that whenever customer come to our site he/she can search for example: Car parts
My Table structure is like below:
Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4 column 5 column 6 (Keyword)
Toyota camry 2000 wheel ABC123 Toyota camry 2000 wheel abc123
Toyota camry 2000 wheel cover 123 Toyota camry 2000 wheel cover 123
Now i have created a full text search index on column 6(keyword)
so whenever someone search exactly describe in column 6 it gives result
For ex: if i search (Toyota Camry wheel) with CONTAINS Option
Select * from mytable where Contains
(Keyword,'Toyota and Camry and wheel')
It gives me rows which contains Toyota Camry wheel and other rows which having wheel cover also. So i get multiple rows. Because of we have very large table which contains data in millions its not to feasible to have that thing.
another thing is :
if i search (Toyota Camry wheels) with CONTAINS Option
Select * from mytable where Contains
(Keyword,'Toyota and Camry and wheels')
It won't give any result back to me which is embarrassment for me. Because customer can search anything so if its not giving result its bad impression.
Also i tried to use FREETEXT option but it gives result in combination of all this word which i searched. so its huge amount of data in result.
I have been given a project to complete where ... two tables "Flights" and "ScheduledFlights" have a column called "FlightNo" . In both these tables it is mentioned that "FlightNo" is primary key ?
Is this possible ? i am not talking about foreign key here....
Here is the script that i have created..
create table flights
(
FlightNo char(5) constraint FlightNo primary key clustered not null,
DepTime char(5) not null,
ArrTime char(5) not null,
AircraftTypeID char(4) references Aircraft(AircraftTypeID) not null,
SectorID Char(5) references Sector(SectorID) not null
)
create table ScheduledFlights
(
FlightNo char(5) constraint FlightNo2 primary key clustered not null,
FlightDate datetime not null,
FirstClassSeatsAvailable int not null,
BusinessClassSeatsAvailable int not null,
EconomyClassSeatsAvailable int not null
)
Now the problem is with FlightNo attribute .. ? Can two Tables have the same primary key ?
(FlightNo2 is given as a temporary solution)

I have inherited a SQL Server Database that has three tables related to one another. The DB uses a Access 2013 front end. I know access fairly well, but am not all that competent when it comes to SQL Server. I am using SQL Server Management Studio 12. I need to change the primary key in one of the tables. When I do so, I get the message illustrated below. How can I get around this?
I did find the place where there is a table option of "Prevent Saving changes that require table re-creation". However, there seems to be a lot of comments that indicate it should not be turned off. If I don't turn it off, how can I
make the changes to the table?
We have a database where many tables have a field that has to be lengthened. In some cases this is a primary key or part of a primary key. The table in question is:-
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] Script Date: 09/25/2014 14:05:09 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd](
[Code] ....
The script I am using is
DECLARE@Column varchar(100)--The name of the column to change
DECLARE@size varchar(5)--The new size of the column
DECLARE @TSQL varchar(255)--Contains the code to be executed
DECLARE @Object varchar(50)--Holds the name of the table
DECLARE @dropc varchar(255)-- Drop constraint script
[Code] ....
When I the the script I get the error message Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
Looking at the strings I build
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] DROP CONSTRAINT PK_DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] Alter Column [Patient System Number] varchar(10)
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] ADD CONSTRAINT PK_DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED ([Patient System Number] ASC,[Episode Number] ASC,[CensusDate] ASC)
WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
They all seem fine except the last one which returns the error
Msg 8111, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot define PRIMARY KEY constraint on nullable column in table 'DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd'.
Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
None of the fields I try to create the key on are nullable.

I would like to do a key word search in a small sql server db (30Mo) (search in all tables).
I opted to export the db and perform this search.
The proble is :
when we use export DTS with Excel as a source, each table is put in a tab (in the Excel document).
when we use a text file as a source. I have the chose to select only one table (to all tables).

Does anyone have a script that will roll through the tables in a database and identify tables without primary keys defined? I did not see any in the online script database.
Thanks,

I have a situation in which i have to get the last value stored in the Primary Key for all the tables. Based on this value i have to update another table which stores the Table names and the last Key value for the table. The values in this table are not correct therefore i have to update it now. I was trying to write a cursor for this but the only problem is i can't get to know how to get the column name on which the primary key is defined for all the tables, thru code.
I would appreciate if someone could help me out with this.
Can someone tell me if there's a way to export data from one database to another without losing the primary key information that has been set in the source database?
Please respond to URL. Thanks!

Hello,We imported a bunch of tables from a database and realized that theprimary keys weren't copied to the destination db. In order to re-create the keys, we need to know which tables have them. Is there acommand that I can use (on the source db) to find out which tablescontain primary keys? The db has hundreds of tables and I'd rather notgo through each one to see which has a primary key.Also, for future reference, is there a way to include the primary keyon an import?Thanks,Peps
