Table Names
Aug 1, 2000Oracle provides for a table to have an alias name.
Does SQL Server 7 support alias names for tables?
Thanks!!

Dynamically Pass Table Names And File Names To IS Package
Mar 1, 2015I 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.

Table Names And Field Names
Jan 21, 2004I'm trying to do an update query that looks like this:
UPDATE
PAEMPLOYEE
SET PAEMPLOYEE.LOCAT_CODE = EMPLOYEE.PROCESS_LEVEL
FROM
PAEMPLOYEE A
JOIN EMPLOYEE B ON A.EMPLOYEE = B.EMPLOYEE
It's erroring out on the Employee prefix B.EMPLOYEE saying:
..."does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query"
Is it wrong or will it cause problems to have a field name the same as the table name?
SSIS Loading DWH Staging Area When Table Names Is Selected From Table List
Aug 31, 2007Hello,
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 to solve that problem?
Table Names In Stored Procedures As String Variables And Temporary Table Question
Apr 10, 2008How 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?
Thanks for the help.

Passing Table Names To Table Valued Functions
May 25, 2008Hello,
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)?
Join Table Key To Multiple Table Names
Nov 5, 2004Hi 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.
Thx

Unable To See Table Names In DTS
Apr 17, 2000While 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.
Thanks

Table Names And Variables
Nov 14, 2005I have a cursor which populates a variable with the name of each user table within my DB.
I'm trying to copy the tables one at a time by using a command like this:
SELECT * INTO @NewTable FROM @OrigTable
Query analyzer tells me that there's incorrect syntax near the keyword 'INTO'.
This seems fair enough to me as I assume it's trying to put the data into the variable rather than the table name which is held within the variable. Does any know how I can get around this?
Are there any alternative ways of copying the table structure (preferable without the data)?
BTW both variables are of type char(100)

Dynamic SQL And Table Names
Jun 5, 2008Hi all,
I have been attempting to construct some dynamic SQL using a table name as a parameter, and call it using sp_executesql, in SQL Server 2005.
According to all of the searches and articles I have read today, the following should work:
DECLARE @rownumINT
DECLARE @tabNamNVARCHAR(100)
DECLARE @SQLStringNVARCHAR(500)
DECLARE @ParmDefinition NVARCHAR(500)
SET @rownum = 35
SET @tabNam = 'AdminScriptHistory'
SELECT @SQLString = N'SELECT * FROM @table where executionorder=@row'
SET @ParmDefinition = N'@table VARCHAR(100), @row INT'
EXEC sp_executesql @SQLString, @ParmDefinition, @tabNam,@rownum
However, it fails with:
Msg 1087, Level 15, State 2, Line 1
Must declare the table variable "@table".
Anybody know why?
Cheers

Numeric Table Names
Aug 10, 2007Hi all,
I'm trying to create a number of tables that relate to projects which have numberic names (e.g. 93002, 93009, 93012). However it appears that I'm unable to create a table with numeric values. When I try to create the table I get:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near '.93009'.
Am I right in presumung that I can't create numerically named tables, and can anyone suggest a naming convention that isn't NineThreeZeroZeroNine ?
TIA,

View 2 Replies View RelatedTable Names As Keys?
Jul 20, 2005Hello all,I got a chance to peak into a database system. Part of its design israther unfamiliar to me. When I look at the diagram generated by SQLServer, there are many floating tables. Eventually it turns out thatthese many floating tables are actually not floating. Their tablenames relate to fields (as TableID) in other tables. In this case,you can get a handle to one of such tables by search TableID columnsin other tables.To be more specific, the database is a microarray database implementedin SQL Server 2000. They have a table called MICROARRAYS. In thistable, there is a column called table_id. These table_ids are in facttable names of a bunch of other tables.My questions are1) Is this good relational design?2) How well is this kind of design supported in SQL Server?3) Are there better alternatives?Any other comment or link to helpful resources will also beappreciated.Thanks,Eric Wu
