Hi everybody.
I need to find all the views that depend on a table in a different database, in order to refresh them once the table is altered.
In the BOL I found the following script that is very useful, but I can't use it if the view and the table are in different database.
Where can I find the dependencies in this case?
Thank you very much.

Creating a script that updates all views that have dependencies on a changed object.USE AdventureWorks;
GO
SELECT DISTINCT 'EXEC sp_refreshview ''' + name + ''''
FROM sys.objects so INNER JOIN sys.sql_dependencies sd
ON so.object_id = sd.object_id
WHERE type = 'V'
AND sd.referenced_major_id = object_id('Person.Contact')
I'm trying to create an email report which gives a result of multiple results from multiple databases in a table format bt I'm trying to find out if there is a simple format I can use.Here is what I've done so far but I'm having troble getting into html and also with the database column:
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
@subject
= 'Job Summary',
@profile_name =
'SQL SMTP',
[code]....
Which is more efficient? One large view that joins >=10 tables, or a few smaller views that join only the tables needed for individual pages?

Hi Guys
I have 4 databases in the same space.My users use all of them and use the same username and password to log into these 4 databases.In each of these databases,i have put a control table to allow me to keep track of all users that have to reset their passwords.
The control table consists of the username and flag fields.When the flag is ON(1) the user is forced to reset thier password and if the flag is OFF(0) they are not.
When a user logs into any one of these databases and they have to reset thier password,how do i make sure that all the other tables in other databases are also updated to make sure that the user is not forced to reset their password again when they log into those other databases later since they are using the same username and password for all databases.
I am planning to use a stored procedure which i will put into all the four databases and when a user logs in and has to reset their password,that sproc is called and automatically updates all the other 3 tables in other 3 databases.
Some SQL examples will be very appreciated.
Thanks.
I have multiple databases in the server and all my databases have tables: stdVersions, stdChangeLog. The stdVersions table have field called DatabaseVersion which stored the version of the database. The stdChangeLog table have a field called ChangedOn which stored the date of any change made in the database.
I need to write a query/stored procedure/function that will return all the database names, version and the date changed on. The results should look something like this:
DatabaseName DatabaseVersion DateChangedOn
OK5_AAGLASS 5.10.1.2 2015/01/12
OK5_SHOPRITE 5.9.1.6 2015/01/10
OK5_SALDANHA 5.10.1.2 2014/12/23
The results should be ordered by DateChangedOn.
We have our replication environment with a separate SQL 2014 publisher, distributor and subscriber. We have a table named DPSP on 14 databases which is to be published via transactional replication to 1 subscription database.
The source tables are identical in name, schema and clustered index. We have created 14 tables in the subscription database with a suffix to the name (see below):
Each table in the subscription database has its own uniquely named primary key and clustered index:
Below are the settings for one of the published article:
The same process is repeated for each DPSP table created in 14 separate publications. Snapshots are generated and subscriptions created successfully. After some time, the log reader starts to show the following errors in replication monitor:
2015-08-12 21:48:24.156 7 transaction(s) with 11 command(s) were delivered.
2015-08-12 21:49:04.233 5 transaction(s) with 7 command(s) were delivered.
2015-08-12 21:50:04.355 No replicated transactions are available.
2015-08-12 21:50:09.378 13 transaction(s) with 17 command(s) were delivered.
2015-08-12 21:51:12.168 No replicated transactions are available.

Hi,I am trying to locate documentation on using views across databases.We have serveral databases broken down by application, some shareddatabases and some location specific databases supporting multiplefacilities using the applications. The DBA for our client is the onethat set up the topology of these databases but I don't understand theperformance considerations of having views in an applictation databasereferencing tables in the shared databases. Is the enitre tablecopied to tempdb when the view is referenced? How does indexing inthe containing database affect access through the view? These aresome of the questions I would like see documenation on.Thanks,Jim
View 3 Replies View RelatedDear Readers,Is it possible, like in Access, to link to tables in other SQL databases that are on the same server? I have a query that I originally had in Access that queered from multiply databases. It did this by having those other tables in the other databases linked to the database that had the query.
I have two databases on my Server - database1 and database2.
Database1 has a view on tables on database2 :
create view myview as select * from database2.dbo.tablename
(because all tables in database2 are owned by dbo)
and myview on database1 is owned by dbo.
when a user on database1 - lets say user1 tries to select rows from myview,
we get an error saying that user1 is not a valid user on database2.
it only allows user1 to select rows from myview if i make user1 a user on database2
as well, which is not what i want.
Can someone please point me in the right direction.
i would like to be able to select rows from a view which is based on tables in another database.
thanks

I have a few views i created in a database.I want them to be moved to another database with credentials like dbo.dsatabasename.tablename automatically adding up to the new views.
How can i do that

Hi,
We are migrating to SQL Server 2005 from 2000 and we have a view created in many of our databases. That view must be changed after the migration because it uses system tables and does not return the correct information in SQL Server 2005.
To do that, I want to create an SSIS-package that loops through all the databases on a particular server. If that view exists in the database, I want to run a script that change the view.
What I try to do:
Set up a For Each Loop container with Foreach SMO Enumerator
Set the connection to my server
Set the Enumerate property to "SMOEnumObj[@Name='Databases']/SMOEnumType[@Name='Names']"
On the Variable Mapping page, place Index 0 in Variable User::dbName
In the For Each Loop, place a script task to msgbox the value of User::dbName
This all works good. The problem comes when I try to nest the For Each Loop
Inside the "For Each Database Loop", place a new For Each Loop container with Foreach SMO Enumerator
I connect the Msgbox Script Task with the new For each loop
Use the same connection
Set the EnumURN property in the Expression Builder to "Database[@Name='" + @[User::dbName] +"']/SMOEnumObj[@Name='Views']/SMOEnumType[@Name='Names']"
On the Variable Mapping page, place index 0 in Variable User::tabName
In the For Each Loop, place a script task to msgbox the value of User::tabName
When I try to run the package now, it does not at all.
In my Progress tab I see that Validation has started and completed for each task, but I see now errors. Nothing has run.
Test 1: I change the DelayValidation for the Inner Loop to True
Now the package runs, but I never get to the script task in the inner loop.
Question 1: What's the problem?
Question 2: Is there another way to do this?
Regards

I am moving a fairly large app from Access 2003 to C#/SQL Server 2005.
The app has one front end mde, but it has two backend data mdbs, one is used in the US and one in the UK.
The two backend mdb's are identical in structure, but of course the data is different. There are 150 tables or so, and we plan to maintain separate databases after the upgrade.
Now, of course, all of the queries are in the front end, the backend db's contain only tables.
In the new world, I do not want to have to maintain the same views and stored procs in two different SQL Server databases.
Is there a way to have all views and stored procs in one database, but have them draw on the data in the two other databases. There must should be a way to deal with this scenario in SQL Server.
Many thanks

Hi,
I'm trying to create a database that takes specific information from a number of databases on different servers to make some reporting that we have much easier.
I'm pretty new to SQL so I'm not sure of the best way to proceed. I read an article that suggested I use the OPENROWSET command. The problem is, the version of SQL that came with one of the programmes we use is limited and will not allow you to turn on the allow "Ad Hoc distributed Queries" so the SLQ statement will not execute.
I'm confused why it won't let me to connect through ODBC as I've created a web page that selects data from this database with no problems!
Here is the SQL statement that I've written to make sure it is the correct one (on the msdn library page it said that this was the ODBC connection):
SELECT a.*
FROM OPENROWSET('MSDASQL','DRIVER=(SQL Server);SERVER=APPOLOACT7;UID=sa;PWD=***************',
'SELECT * FROM MDCTestAndDev.dbo.TBL_CONTACT') AS a
I've also created the ODBC connection using the tool on Administration Tools>Data Sources ODBC
Any help would be greatly appreciated (also any ways of selecting from one database and inserting it into another will be helpfull)
Thanks
Hi!
I have 7 source databases and one target database, all using the same structure. The structure is made of 10 tables, with foreign key constraints.
I need to merge the source databases into the target (which won't have any data before that process, but will already have the correct schema), and to keep the relationships between the records.
I know how to iterate over the source databases (with SMO foreach), but I'd like to know if someone can advise the best copy method for that context in SSIS ? (I don't want to keep the primary keys, but I need to keep the relationships...)
Any pointer most welcome!
best regards and thanks

I am trying to restore multiple .bak backup SQL database files onto a new server. However, I have found that it will not allow me to restore multiple databases at once. Is there a way to do this so that I do not have to manually upload one at a time? I tried adding all the .bak files at once to the backup device window but it only did the first one listed. It would be so much easier to restore them all at once so that I do not have to continue this manual process. I am restoring them via device.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,
I am in the progress of designing a new section of my database and was thinking of creating a hole new database instead of just creating tables inside the database. My question is can you JOIN multiple tables in an SQL Statement from multiple databases. Ie, In the Management program I have a database called 'Convention' and another one called 'Services', inside the two databases there are many tables. Can I link say tblRegister from Convention to tblUser in Services?
Thanks
Hi There,
Is it possible to make views which takes Data from Multiple Servers?
NOTE: The view is very complex because it uses FOUR Diff. statements
joined together with UNION clause.
One more Q.
If my Query Analizer Displays following on execution of query.
" Internal Query Processor Error: The query processor could not produce a query plan."
What should be my approach to rectify the problem.
Any help would really be appreciated.

I have ViewA that sums up 4 fields from one table. I then have ViewB that uses ViewA to calculate the results. Now I do this with 5 different tables and then link them all to get my final results. Each View has a date range (begin / end) that I need to pass from a Web form.
How should I go about doing this? Should I create a temporary table to hold the begin / end dates to use in the sub Views? Or something else? I am at a lost on how to go about this and need some direction and syntax?
Thanks in advance for your help!!

Hello,I am relatively new to doing non-trivial SQL queries.I have to get data out of 8 diff views based on a parameter Name.There is a view having name-ssn pairs. All other views have SSN field.For a person there MAY NOT be data in all the views.I have to populate data into diff tables in a Report from differentviews.I would like to know what is the best way to approach it.So far I was trying an Inner join from the Name-ssn vies to all otherviews based on the SSN and test for the name field with the inputparameter.I am thinking there will be problem of Cross join if I dont have datain all views about a person.Or the best way is to write query for each view and have all of them ina stored procedure ?Any help will be appreciatedThanksBofo

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi All,
My database's design is set out here. In summary, I'm trying to model a Stock Exchange for a Technical Analysis application written using Visual C++. In order to create the hierachy I'm using a Nested Set Model. I'm now trying to write code to add and delete equities (or, more generically, nodes) to the database using a form presented to the user in my application. I have example SQL code to create the necessary add and delete procedures that calculate the changes to the values in the lft and rgt columns, but these examples focus around a single table, where as my design aggregates rows from multiple tables using UNION ALL:
Code Snippet
CREATE VIEW vw_NSM_DBHierarchy -- Nested Set Model Database Hierarchy
AS
SELECT clmStockExchange, clmLeft, clmRight FROM tblStockExchange_
UNION ALL
SELECT clmMarkets, clmLeft, clmRight FROM tblMarkets_
UNION ALL
SELECT clmSectors, clmLeft, clmRight FROM tblSectors_
UNION ALL
SELECT clmEPIC, clmLeft, clmRight FROM tblEquities_
Essentially, I'm trying to create an updateable view but I receive the error "UNION ALL View is not updatable because a partitioning column was not found". I suspect that my design in wrong or lacks and this problem is highlighting the design flaws so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I would like to create a procedure which create views by taking parameters the table name and a field value (@Dist).
However I still receive the must declare the scalar variable "@Dist" error message although I use .sp_executesql for executing the particularized query.
Below code.
ALTER Procedure [dbo].[sp_ViewCreate]
/* Input Parameters */
@TableName Varchar(20),
@Dist Varchar(20)
AS
Declare @SQLQuery AS NVarchar(4000)
Declare @ParamDefinition AS NVarchar(2000)

Hey there!
I'm not sure how to explain this but here goes...
I'm a bit stuck, a new project that's come about "requires" me to query multiple databases as if they were tables.
1 Oracle database which stores information on our staff (this database is a part of some MIS software and can't be changed in any way)
1 SQL Server 2005 database which stores information on staff sickness
Basically say theres 1 table in each database
Oracle DB
People
Person_Code
Forename
Surname
SQL DB
Sickness
Person_Code
Daydate
Lets say the query I want to perform is to select all the records from sickness where person code is 22334 and also get their name from the other db, so the output may look like
22334 Dann Rees 01/01/2007
22334 Dann Rees 03/01/2007
22334 Dann Rees 10/02/2007
Now I realise I can write a quick function to pull the information but this is just a basic example. Effectivley what I "need" is to be able to query sickness while sub querying people to get the names, or some kind of pass through query?
Please remember this is just a very simple example and the "actual" queries will be far more complicated, for instance finding all the employees of a certain department who is male and was sick in January. All the data for that example is stored in people (oracle) except for the dates which is stores in sick (SQL 2005). Now these are easy enough if they were tables in 1 database....but their not, their tables in 2 databases, and theres nothing I can do to change that :(
All help appreciated as this is becoming very urgent.
Many thanks
Dann

I have the code to search a singular database right now, and I tried to make a connection to a second one, which worked, but I don't know how to send the proper sql commands to the second database or how to link them in the code. Does anyone have any pointers on creating a site which will search different tables in different databases with a known connection between databases?
