I have two tables that will not drop in a Database. I'm running SQL 6.5 on a Compaq Proliant.
Symptoms: Both tables show up in sysobjects, sysindexes, and syscolumns. Both allow SELECT, sp_rename, and truncate, but just hang ISQL or the Enterprise Manager when I try to drop them. I ran a DBCC CheckTable on them with no errors reported. Any ideas??
When I am initializing a transactional replication from SQL 2005 to Oracle 10g, SQL tries to drop tables that don't exist. The properties option for the articles specifically states "if the name is in use:". The name is not in use, yet SQL still tries to drop non-existent tables, which causes the replication to halt. Anyone seen this before, or have any ideas what to do about it?
Thanks!

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow can i delete a stored procedure if it exist
like "Drop stored procedure 'sp1' if exist"
I have a stored procedure that I am writing that is giving me trouble dropping a temp table in SQL Server 2005. I have to use the SQL in Query 1, marked below, to get the temp table. I can find the table but I get the error listed in this message's subject. If I try to run DROP TABLE #ZipLatLong I will get an error telling me that the table already exists but then I can run CREATE TABLE #ZipLatLong ( ZIP INT, Latitude DECIMAL(18,6), Longitude DECIMAL(18,6)) and that will work...
In short, SQL Server 2005 is not letting me drop temporary objects. I am getting return messages telling me that an object already exists in the database by the name I am trying to delete and then it will let me create a table with the same name...
Figure 1
USE TEMPDB
GO
SELECT *
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_CATALOG = 'tempdb'
AND TABLE_SCHEMA = USER
AND TABLE_NAME LIKE '#ZipLatLong%'
GO
DROP TABLE #ZipLatLong
GO
Hi folks.
Here i have small problem in transactions.I don't know how it is happaning.
Up to my knowldge if you start a transaction in side the transaction if you have DML statements
Those statements only will be effected by rollback or commit but in MS SQL SERVER 7.0 and 6.5
It is rolling back all the commands including DDL witch it shouldn't please let me know on that
If any one can help this please tell me ...........Please............
For Example
begin transaction t1
create table t1
drop table t2
then execute bellow statements
select * from t1
this query gives you table with out data
select * from t2
you will recieve an error that there is no object
but if you rollback
T1 willn't be there in the database
droped table t2 will come back please explain how it can happand.....................

I have a list of 35 tables that need to drop the primary key index from in my database.
My problem is as follows for these 35 tables:
1. How can I get a list of all the primary keys for this subset of tables in my database
2. How can I drop just the PK for each of these tables?
I want an easy quick way to do this without having to manually do this for each of the 35 tables in my database. I dont want to do this for all tables just the subset.
Thanks

View 12 Replies View RelatedHello all, im using visual web developer btw. Im using the excellent tutorial here at http://www.asp.net/learn/videos/view.aspx?tabid=63&id=49 Works a treat. For my catalogue/database. i have 2 tables using the drop down menu - one is a "Buyers guide" (a list of the product) and an "application list" (this one is a list of the motorbike).
So in essence they are the same tables, but of course moved around with slightly different ways. What i would like to, is to some how make a refferenced link to each - Once one of the drop down menus has been linked to a product, theres a column that tells u what bike is being used....i therefore want to have a link so the seconmdary drop down menu - but i do not know how i can do this. Any ideas guys/gals? thx.
Hi,
I want to get the results of a query between 2 tables that exist in the same server but in 2 different databases. I want this query to be executed in a stored procedure (use the reults in a cursor), or if it's possible to be used in an ado dataset or a simple dataset in Delphi. Can this be done also if the two datases (MSSQL) exist in different servers??
Can anyone show an example of how to accomplish these tasks??

I have two SPs, call them Daily and Weekly. Weekly will always callDaily, but Daily can run on its own. I currently use a global temptable because certain things I do with it won't work with a local temptable or table variable.I have been trying to get code so that if the table already exists, itjust keeps going and uses it, but creates the temp table if it doesn'texist. Unfortunately, no matter how I try to do it, it always attemptsto create it, raising an error and breaking the code.create table ##load_file_log (id int identity(1,1),contentsvarchar(1000))insert into ##load_file_log (contents) values ('test record')IF object_id('tempdb..##load_file_log') IS not NULLprint 'exists'ELSEcreate table ##load_file_log (id int identity(1,1),contentsvarchar(1000))select * from ##load_file_logdrop table ##load_file_logIf I change it to IS NULL, the same error occurs (Server: Msg 2714,Level 16, State 1, Line 7There is already an object named '##load_file_log' in the database.)I have found one way to do it, but it seems a bit...clunky.IF object_id('tempdb..##load_file_log') IS NULLexec ('create table ##load_file_log (id int identity(1,1),contentsvarchar(1000))')I'll use that for now, but is there something I missed?Thanks.

Hello,
I have a query that's in development that uses several temp tables. In order to test the query repeatedly while it's being written I have the following code at the beginning to discard the temp tables. This allows the query can recreate the temp tables when called in the code.
if object_id('tempdb..#temp1') is not null drop table #temp1
if object_id('tempdb..#temp2') is not null drop table #temp2
if object_id('tempdb..#temp3') is not null drop table #temp3
if object_id('tempdb..#temp4') is not null drop table #temp4
if object_id('tempdb..#temp5') is not null drop table #temp5
Even though this works, it takes multiple lines of code. One of my queries has to drop 12 temp tables, thus 12 lines of code. I have been experimenting with looping the above as follows:
declare @n as nvarchar(3), @table as nvarchar(10)
set @n = 1
while @n <= 5 begin
set @table = '#temp'+@n
if object_id('tempdb..#temp'+@n) is not null drop table @table
set @n = @n + 1
end
Unfortunately, the above does not work. It gives this error message:
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 5
Line 5: Incorrect syntax near '@table'.
I have also tried:
declare @n as nvarchar(3), @dropstmt as nvarchar(25)
set @n = 1
while @n <= 5 begin
set @dropstmt = 'drop table #temp'+@n
if object_id('tempdb..#temp'+@n) is not null @dropstmt
set @n = @n + 1
end
This does not work either. It gives this error message:
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 5
Line 5: Incorrect syntax near '@dropstmt'.
Does anyone know how to get this to work?
Thanks.

Hi everyone.
I am stuck on this for quite a while. Lets say i have 2 tables.
Table 1 with these columns:
Serial_Num
Product
Price
Table 2 with this column only:
Product
I need to create a VIEW that will show me all the the data in Table 1 but only for the column that exists in table 2. Example:
Something like this:
select (all the columns from table 2)
from table 1
I need it to be dynamic because columns could be added to both tables anytime.
Thanks.

I am thinking of creating a script that generates another script for creating/dropping tables, indeces, FK, views, stored procedures..etc in the right order in a specific database. I accept the fact this script is dangerous (like if I ran it on production server). But it sure will be very helpful when moving our SQL objects from development to qa and then to production. Is this worth it? Haev you see anything that generates such a thing?
Thanks
Just a quicky about temporarary tables. If using QA, when you create atemporary table, it gets dropped if you close the query. Otherwise youneed to state 'DROP TABLE myTable' so that you can re-run the querywithout the table being there.Sometimes, you can have quite lengthy SQL statements (in a series)with various drop table sections throughout the query. Ideally youwould put these all at the end, but sometimes you will need to dropsome part way through (for ease of reading and max temp tables etc...)However, what I was wondering is :Is there any way to quickly drop the temporary tables for the currentconnection without specifying all of the tables individually ? Whentesting/checking, you have to work your way through and run each droptable section individually. This can be time consuming, so beingnaturally lazy, is there a quick way of doing this ? When workingthrough the SQL, it's possible to do this quite a lot.ExampleSQL Statement with several parts, each uses a series of temporarytables to create a result set. At the end of a section, these worktables are no longer needed, so drop table commands are used. Thefinal result set brings back the combined results from each sectionand then drops those at the end.TIARyan

I need to get all distinct values from 10 different tables that exist in the field [favoritesport] And each table holds close to 50K records so I am looking at 500,000 records to get distinct values for. Would the fastest, less intrusive way of achieving this be to just create a UNION ALL so run
Select Distinct([favoritesport]) from table1
Union
Select Distinct([favoritesport]) from table2
Union
Select Distinct([favoritesport]) from table3
etc etc etc
Hello All,
Has any1 noticed that when they are transferring SQL tables from one server (or machine) to another that the primary keys drop from the table (or is it just me). If so, has someone figured out why? and how to rectify this (apparent) error.
Many thanks in advance for any and all help,
