TRUNCATE TABLE @table_name
Nov 26, 2007I have a cursor looping through a list of tables that I want to
truncate and then do a bulk insert into, Is this possible in SQL
Server 2000 or do script each table individually.

Insert Into Table_Name Using Table_Name As A Variable
Jul 11, 2007Hi guys,
I want to insert record to the table, the table name is a variable. I was tried like this,
declare @Table_Name as varchar(255)
declare @MM as varchar(2)
declare @YY as varchar(4)
set @MM = month(getdate())
set @YY = year(getdate())
set @Table_Name = 'tb_XXXX_' + @MM + @YY
INSERT INTO @Table_Name (column1,....) VALUES (@Column1,...)
If I print the @Table_Name variable it shows the corret Table name. But while executing the Procedure it shows a error message
'Must declare the sclar variable @Table_Name'
How do I implement this? Please anyone had a experience like this tell me a way. Thanks in advance.

Database_name.table_name In Create Table ?
Jun 8, 2004Hi,
In create table statements we use database_name.table_name.
Eg :
create table my_database.test_table(sno int .....)
What is the meaning of this ? Is that, the table is created in the specified database_name ?
Please clarify.
Thanks,
Sam

Cannot Truncate Table 'Database.dbo.Table' Because It Is Being Referenced By A FOREIGN KEY Constraint..
Aug 23, 2006 Here is my issue I am new to 2005 sql server, and am trying to take my old data which is exported to a txt file and import it to tables in sql. The older database is non relational, and I had made several exports for the way I want to build my tables. I built my packages fine and everything is working until I start building relationships. I remove my foreign key and the table with the primary key will get updated for the package again. I need to update the data daily into sql, and once in it will only be update from the package until the database is moved over.
It will run and update with a primary key until I add a foreign key to another database.
Here is my error when running the package when table 2 has a foreign key.
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "TRUNCATE TABLE [consumer].[dbo].[Client] " failed with the following error: "Cannot truncate table 'consumer.dbo.Client' because it is being referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.

AS
TRUNCATE TABLE Uploads but it says "Cannot truncate table 'Uploads' because it is being referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint." then i make NULL all foreign keys and try still cannot. then i did it manually deleting all records then can! but why can't i truncate it? isn't it the same as removing all values plus having the primary keys to start from 0?

Nov 1, 2000hi, I have two tables members table and orders table.
I have 2 records in members table and zero records in order table.
When I try to truncate members table I get an error message.
cannot truncate table members,because it is being referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint.
this what blows my head, There is no records in orders table. so why would the constraint enforced when there is no data in the order table. I created same table in access and I was able to delete a member from the members table. any comments.

Truncate Table

It's known that TRUNCATE TABLE works much faster than DELETE, but impossible to use TRUNCATE TABLE on a table referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint... Is it possible temporary disable (not delete) constraints and after complition of TRUNCATE enable them ?
TRUNCATE Table
Feb 10, 2005Hi,
(From Bol)
"You Cannot Use Truncate Table On A Table Referenced By A Foreign Key
Constraint;"

Statename Varchar(25)
2) Rivers

3) Riverinstates

Constraint Fkriverinstates
Foreign Key (Statecode) References States(Statecode),
Foreign Key (Rivercode) References Rivers(Rivercode)
after removing all rows from RiverInStates Table using TRUNCATE and the command completed successfully.
when i tried to remove all rows from Rivers table , i got the following error.
"Server: Msg 4712, Level 16, State 1, Line 76
Cannot truncate table 'rivers' because it is being referenced by a FOREIGN
KEY constraint."
i thought the error may be due to the "Fkriverinstates" FOREIGN KEY CONSTRAINT. so i DROPped the constraint with
ALTER TABLE RiverinStates DROP CONSTRAINT Fkriverinstates
even after DROPping the constraint, im getting the same error
can any one point out where the problem is?
thanks in advance

View 1 Replies View RelatedI Am Able To Rollback TRUNCATE TABLE ????
Apr 13, 2000I am doing the following-
begin transaction
truncate table Acounts
select * from Accounts
rollback
select * from Accounts
The first select is returning 0 rows as expected. But after doing the rollback I expected to yet see 0 rows as truncate is not logged so cannot be rolled back. But to my suprise I see that there are rows.
So the rollback is rolling back the truncate table statement. Can someone please explain this????
Truncate Table Permission
Mar 17, 2000I know that only the owner of a table can truncate it.
I want a user to run a procedure that truncates a table. Both the procedure and the table are owned by dbo, however the system says that the user can't truncate the tables because she doesn't have permission. The user has dataread and datawrite global permissions, and I do not want to give her dbo perimssions.
Is there a solution to this?

Is it possible to TRUNCATE a table and BCP data into the same table in one

My problem is that I want to refresh(delete and via BCP append new data) a

Truncate Table Permissions
Mar 22, 2006Does anybody know of a way to allow non-administrators to execute the truncate table statement?
I have developers that from time to time need to move data between their databases usinge the DTS wizard. Most of their tables have identity columns and in order retain the identity seed, they need to click on the option to enable identity insert. This option isn't available to non administrators.
ErrorMessage "Cannot TRUNCATE TABLE..." ???
Jul 2, 2002Error Message "Cannot TRUNCATE TABLE 'HR.dbo.Employee' ".
All of a sudden (!) I began to get this error whle attempting to run a multi-step job: This is during a very simple T-SQL statement.
Executed as user: EPRODSQLAdmin. Cannot TRUNCATE TABLE 'HR.dbo.Employee' because it is being referenced by object 'v_apps_Employee'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3729). The step failed.
Tables are being referenced by views all the time... Why would I begin to get this message?
The only thing I can think of is that I had just made my first "indexed view" ever, and it is in this database. Could that be related to the new error message?

Replication With Truncate Table
Mar 13, 2007HI,
I am trying to find a replication solution. It does not have to be real-time, but snapshot will not work since the database is too big. I was trying to configure Transactional replication. The replication itself worked good, but the Truncate table is not allowed in the transactional replication and merge replication. We have to use "Truncate table" in another processes during replication. Is there any other option or third party application I can use to do the replication with truncate table working. I tried Replication Exec, but it does not support 64bit system, which we have.

We would like to issue atruncate table statement, but with millions of rows we are a bit waryof how this will affect server performance. The alternative is todelete is stages using rowcount but of course this will generate alarge amount of logging.Can anyone confirm whether issuing a truncate table will have anyaffect on performance - i.e. does it just clear a header block ordooes it have to do more?CheersMartin

Truncate Table Function Not Available
Nov 28, 2006I have just updated to SQL server Everywhere(Compact) version from SQL Server Mobile. A desktop application was using several features of the Mobile version which no longer seem to be available in the Everywhere version. 'Truncate Table' does not work. This can be worked around with deleting the rows and then changing the Identity seed value. Also 'INSERT INTO Table1 SELECT * FROM Table2 no longer works in SQL Everywhere. Now the number of columns in the two tables must match exactly or a list of columns must be provided with the INSERT and SELECT statements. The biggest probem I have run into so far is that 'SELECT * INTO Table1 FROM Table2' no longer works. How can a new table be created without manually recreating all of the column information?
These functions worked in the SQL Mobile version, why was this functionally removed in the latest Everywhere(Compact) version.
Is there a listing of what is supported in the Everywhere(Compact) version, besides digging through the BOL documentation.
Truncate On An Indexed Table

I had a situation today where I needed to truncate a table. It has an index on it.

Thanks in advance.
