I have hundreds of tables in my database.
Is there a way to get a list of them with a description
of their content (the procedure and the transaction they
are related to, the way columns are created)?
Thank you. Anna - Verona (Italy)
Can I add a description to a table or field? The way access gives you to add a description to a field.
Thanks!

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have 3 tables I'm trying to join:
Table 1: Contains ID, Name, Description
Table 2: Contains ID, Keyword
Table 3: Is lookup table for tables 1 & 2
I need a query to return a table having columns of:
Name, Description, Keyword for every record ID in Table 1
The issue is that table 2 contains multiple keywords for each key ID and my query returns an error: Subquery returned more than 1 value.
When I run this query using a specific key, it returns the correct information the way I want it:
DECLARE @ServiceID VARCHAR(10)
SET @ServiceID = '35'
DECLARE @Name VARCHAR(8000) DECLARE @Desc VARCHAR(8000) DECLARE @Keywords VARCHAR(8000)
SELECT @Name = [DefService].[Name],@Desc = [DefService].[Description],@Keywords = COALESCE(@Keywords + ', ', '') + [DefKeyword].[Name] FROM [DefService] INNER JOIN [DefKeywordServices] ON [DefService].serviceid = [DefKeywordServices].[ServiceID] INNER JOIN [DefKeyword] ON [DefKeyword].[KeywordID] = [DefKeywordServices].[KeywordID] WHERE [DefService].[ServiceID] = @ServiceID PRINT @Name + ' | ' + @Desc + ' | ' + @Keywords
SELECT @Name AS Name,@Desc AS Description,@Keywords AS Keywords
Results:
NameDescriptionKeywords
GoToMyPC - Account RequestRequest a Citrix GoToMyPC account.GTMPC, GoTo, application, software, install, Installation, applications
When I run the same query without a specific key it fails. The results only return a single row containing Name, Description and then ALL keywords for every key ID...very odd behavior.
BTW, I need to do this in a single SQL query and not a stored proc or other method.
Hi,I have a SQL that is working fine:
SELECT DISTINCT T1.ATCkod FROM ATC_tot T1 JOIN ATC_tot T2 ON T2.ATCkod = T1.ATCkod and T2.Typ_lakemedel LIKE '%' + @Kod2 + '%' JOIN ATC_tot T3 on T3.ATCkod = T1.ATCkod AND T3.Typ_lakemedel LIKE '%' + @Kod3 + '%' WHERE T1.Typ_lakemedel = @KodNow I need to have a description together with the ATCkod, tablename ATC columnname ATCdesc. ATC_tot.ATCkod = ATC.ATCkod. I have tried Inner join without success. Any good suggestions ...?

Hi all,
I need to get the error description from the SQL Server in a SP. For ex:
I have one insert statement which is inserting some values in a tabUserMaster table. If user tries to insert any duplicated row then following error is retruned [in Query analyzer].
Server: Msg 2601, Level 14, State 3, Procedure csp_ProvisionUser, Line 70
Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'CoreUser' with unique index 'IDX_CoreUser_UserName'.
The statement has been terminated.
I want to trap this whole message in a variable. How to do this..... :(
I am having trouble bringing "description" column in to my sp and them at the out put. in the ppatient_status_mstr there is a column called“description” which has patient status such as “discharged” “termed collection” etc... How do I use the SP to bring this description into application? I am assigning it to @mytext. I am not sure how to declare “description” in the SP? Every time I use it I get errors like:
Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Procedure CheckStatus, Line 20
The multi-part identifier "pm.alerts_ind" could not be bound.
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Procedure CheckStatus, Line 40
Invalid column name 'description'.
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Procedure CheckStatus, Line 43
Invalid column name 'description'.
I want to say if user picks a description from application . show me that description in output. But I am having trouble how to use the description? I am not sure if my “IF” statements are correct either?
Here is the procedure
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[CheckStatus] (@enc_id varchar(36) OUTPUT, @Mytext varchar(50) OUTPUT, @data_ind Char(1) OUTPUT)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
@alerts_ind char(1)
[code]....

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to club the ErrorDescription system variable property in OnError.
And I want to send this whole ErrorDescription variable on onTaskFailed.
Can you please suggest how to club this errordescription on OnError event
This is a request to the Microsoft SSIS staff.
I did a search for the keywords in the description and can already see a lot of people frustrated about this.
A lot of well designed integration packages will route error messages to an error table or file.
SSIS appends a couple of extra error columns called ErrorCode and ErrorColumn. At runtime, an extra
column is visible in the DataViewer called ErrorCode - Description.
The description is hardcoded into the dtsmsg.h file in the SDK folder of Sql Server.
This file is very hard to parse.
Can some from SSIS please post an XML or CSV file with all the error codes and descriptions for us to download please.
This will be such a big help in debugging.
Many Thanks.

Hi,
If you browse to Amazon and drill down through categories until a paged
listing appears, you will see in each item of the listing that the
description rendered as Book Description, is a cutdown version of the
full description, with a ... and "Read More" hyperlink. How is
this achieved programatically? I dont know if thre is an efficient way
in SQL Server to do this, or whether it would be easier to have a
ShortHand field and a Description field, both of which are teh full
description when shown in the Details page, but the ShortHand is the
field rendered in listings. This seems like a simplistic solution
and I am thinking there may be programmatic means of doing the same -
has anybody got any experience in this area?
Thanks!

HI
I have a big problem with SQL server2000. I can't get COLUMN DESCRIPTION.

View 2 Replies View RelatedOn the Design Table screen for SQL 2000 there is a Description field along with the Default, Identity, etc. options. Once I put a description in there, is there a way to retrieve it through T-SQL?
Thank you!
In oracle there is a describe command:
describe table_name
This command will tell you the columns names, datatypes, and length of the columns for that particular table. Does anyone know if there is a simliar command in SQL server that would do that? The only way that I have found so far is to do a join of the syscolumns with sysobject by table name.
I'm trying to create a Data Dictionary view from system table info like tablename, fieldname, datatype etc. I can find all that I need except for the "description" field which is displayed in Enterprise Manager/ Repository metadata pane.
How can I locate this field so I can reference it in a view? Isn't it stored in a system table? Master, model? Where is it?
Thank in advance,
Phil

Hello everybody,
If I know the table name, is there any command to list all "Column Name" and the Columns "Description" as shown in the Design Table window.
Any feedback is welcome!
Thank you,
