Tempoary Table Question - How To Create One With The Same Schema As An Existing Table?
Jul 28, 2006
Hello,
I'd like to create a temporary table with the same schema as an exiting table. How can I do this without hard coding the column definitions into the temporary table definition?
I'd like to do something like:
CREATE TABLE #tempTable LIKE anotherTable
..instead of...
CREATE TABLE #tempTable (id INT PRIMARY KEY, created DATETIME NULL etc...
I’ve got a situation where the columns in a table we’re grabbing from a source database keep changing as we need more information from that database. As new columns are added to the source table, I would like to dynamically look for those new columns and add them to our local database’s schema if new ones exist. We’re dropping and creating our target db table each time right now based on a pre-defined known schema, but what we really want is to drop and recreate it based on a dynamic schema, and then import all of the records from the source table to ours.It looks like a starting point might be EXEC sp_columns_rowset 'tablename' and then creating some kind of dynamic SQL statement based on that. However, I'm hoping someone might have a resource that already handles this that they might be able to steer me towards.Sincerely, Bryan Ax
Hi all, please help. I m trying to create an "empty" table from existing table for the audit trigger purpose. For now, i am trying to create an empty audit table for every table in a database named "pubs", and it's seem won't work. Please advise.. Thanks in advance.
SELECT @TABLE_NAME= MIN(TABLE_NAME) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_TYPE= 'BASE TABLE' AND TABLE_NAME NOT LIKE 'audit%' AND TABLE_NAME!= 'sysdiagrams' AND TABLE_NAME!= 'Audit' AND TABLE_NAME = 'sales'
WHILE @TABLE_NAME IS NOT NULL BEGIN
SELECT @TABLE_NAME= MIN(TABLE_NAME) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Tables WHERE TABLE_NAME> @TABLE_NAME AND TABLE_NAME = 'sales'
SELECT @TABLE_NAME= MIN(TABLE_NAME) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Tables WHERE TABLE_NAME> @TABLE_NAME AND TABLE_TYPE= 'BASE TABLE' AND TABLE_NAME!= 'sysdiagrams' AND TABLE_NAME!= 'Audit' AND TABLE_NAME NOT LIKE 'audit%'
Hi I'm trying to Create a new Table from existing table in Q/Analyzer. I figured it would be something like this: CREATE TABLE newTable AS(SELECT * FROM OldTable); but i keep getting Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 1Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'AS'. also.. is there another method of doing this, something like INSERT INTO newTable(SELECT * FROM OldTable); and it creates the table ( newTable ) for u if it doenst already exist?? Cheers!!! im using sql2000
Hi All I want to create new table which is going to be a copy of one existing table. I need to copy the existing data into the new table too. How do I do that?
Player, Position, [From], [To], Fee, Type, ID, League, Window
I want to create a new table, EnglandFinal with all the data from the three tables although I'm guessing it would not be a good idea to copy the primary keys (ID column) as they would clash.
I have played around with CREATE and INSERT into and UNION but I get various errors. I'm sure I've done this before!
If I want to make a trigger: - For Insert - With name: NewEmployeeInserted - On table dbo.Employees
I add the following attribute above the desired .net method logic: [SqlTrigger(Event = "For Insert", Name = "NewEmployeeInserted", Target = "Employees")]
How to make a trigger on for example: Production.Employees table? where Production is the schema where this table resides.
I have the same database(3GB) in 2 physical locations in usa and europe
I need to create a publisher and subscriber between these 2 database without sending any snapshot because i have the same data in the 2 sides, is it possible ?
Can anyone help me with this? The objective is to allow an application user (with db_datareader & db_datawriter database roles assigned) to be able to create tables in the assigned schema (dbo) via a new role.
-- Create User
use master
go
create login DBA with password='xx', CHECK_EXPIRATION=ON, CHECK_POLICY=ON
use AdventureWorks
go
create user dba from login DBA alter user dba with DEFAULT_SCHEMA=dbo
go
-- Create Role
use AdventureWorks
go
create role sp_ddl_role AUTHORIZATION dbo
grant CREATE TABLE to sp_ddl_role
-- assign user to Role
use AdventureWorks
go
exec sp_addrolemember sp_ddl_role, dba
go
-- Create Table statement then run with following error Error:
Msg 2760, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The specified schema name "dbo" either does not exist or you do not have permission to use it.
Remedy: Grant ALTER on schema::dbo to sp_ddl_role
My problem is that I want to restrict user permissions via this role to just the CREATE TABLE and granting ALTER on a SCHEMA will open up a whole lot more permissions from a security standpoint.
Question: How do I restirct this role to just the CREATE TABLE within a SCHEMA?
I am working with a table in SQL server. I have a column that I want to designateas an identity column. I am not able to do this, because the field for "Identity Specification" is not editiable. What I did was I went to sql server, right clicked and selected "Modify".The column properties dialog box/edit grid is then displayed with attributesthat I can modify. There are two major nodes in this dialog box. One is named "General" and the otheris named "Table Designer". I expand the "Table Designer" node and then go to the node labeled "Identity Specification" It is here where I would like to edit thevalues. The values that are listed for edit are listed below. BUT, the problem is thatI can place my cursor in those fields, but I am not able to change/edit them.Can anyone tell me what the problem is here? and how I can fix it? +Identity Specification (Is Identity) Identity Increment Identity Seed
Can we create the Partition on Existing Table?e.g Create table t ( col1 number(10,0), Col2 Varchar(10)) ;After the table Creation can we alter the table to partition the table.

we have a table in our ERP database and we copy data from this table into another "stage" table on a nightly basis. is there a way to dynamically alter the schema of the stage table when the source table's structure is changed? in other words, if a new column is added to the source table, i would like to add the column to the stage table during the nightly refresh.
i have 2 tables (both containing the same column names/datatypes), say table1 and table2.. table1 is the most recent, but some rows were deleted on accident.. table2 was a backup that has all the data we need, but some of it is old, so what i want to do is overwrrite the rows in table 2 that also exist in table 1 with the table 1 rows, but the rows in table 2 that do not exist in table one, leave those as is.. both tables have a primary key, user_id.
For reasons that are not relevant (though I explain them below *), Iwant, for all my users whatever privelige level, an SP which createsand inserts into a temporary table and then another SP which reads anddrops the same temporary table.My users are not able to create dbo tables (eg dbo.tblTest), but arepermitted to create tables under their own user (eg MyUser.tblTest). Ihave found that I can achieve my aim by using code like this . . .SET @SQL = 'CREATE TABLE ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstIDDATETIME)'EXEC (@SQL)SET @SQL = 'INSERT INTO ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())'EXEC (@SQL)This becomes exceptionally cumbersome for the complex INSERT & SELECTcode. I'm looking for a simpler way.Simplified down, I am looking for something like this . . .CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestInsert ASCREATE TABLE tblTest(tstID DATETIME)INSERT INTO tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())GOCREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestSelect ASSELECT * FROM tblTestDROP TABLE tblTestIn the above example, if the SPs are owned by dbo (as above), CREATETABLE & DROP TABLE use MyUser.tblTest while INSERT & SELECT usedbo.tblTest.If the SPs are owned by the user (eg MyUser.TestInsert), it workscorrectly (MyUser.tblTest is used throughout) but I would have to havea pair of SPs for each user.* I have MS Access ADP front end linked to a SQL Server database. Forreports with complex datasets, it times out. Therefore it suit mypurposes to create a temporary table first and then to open the reportbased on that temporary table.
i would like to have my data rearranged to look like the following:
timestamp :var1 value :var2 value :var3 value ________________________________________________ 11:00 x y z 12:00 a b c ....
i am working with my database in a c sharp application. so if anyone does come up with a solution for this maybe keep that in mind so that i can discuss how to impliment it in the code.
I have a text file which needs to be created into a table (let's call it DataFile table). For now I'm just doing the manual DTS to import the txt into SQL server to create the table, which works. But here's my problem....
I need to extract data from DataFile table, here's my query:
select * from dbo.DataFile where DF_SC_Case_Nbr not like '0000%';
Then I need to create a new table for the extracted data, let's call it ExtractedDataFile. But I don't know how to create a new table and insert the data I selected above into the new one.
Also, can the extraction and the creation of new table be done in just one stored procedure? or is there any other way of doing all this (including the importation of the text file)?
i am inserting something into the temp table even without creating it before. But this does not give any compilation error. Only when I want to execute the stored procedure I get the error message that there is an invalid temp table. Should this not result in a compilation error rather during the execution time.?
--create the procedure and insert into the temp table without creating it. --no compilation error. CREATE PROC testTemp AS BEGIN INSERT INTO #tmp(dt) SELECT GETDATE() END
only on calling the proc does this give an execution error
I have SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMS Express) and SQL Server 2005 Express (SS Express) installed in my Windows XP Pro PC that is on Microsoft Windows NT 4 LAN System. My Computer Administrator grants me the Administror Privilege to use my PC. I tried to use SQLQuery.sql (see the code below) to create a table "LabResults" and insert 20 data (values) into the table. I got Error Messages 102 and 156 when I did "Parse" or "Execute". This is my first time to apply the data type 'decimal' and the "VALUES" into the table. I do not know what is wrong with the 'decimal' and how to add the "VALUES": (1) Do I put the precision and scale of the decimal wrong? (2) Do I have to use "GO" after each "VALUES"? Please help and advise.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

I am trying to create a new mining structure with case table and nested table, the case table (fact table) has alread defined the relationships with the nested table(dimension table), and I can see their relationship from the data source view. But why the wizard for creating the new mining structure showed that message? Why is that? And what could I try to fix it?
Hope it is clear for your help.
Thanks a lot for your kind advices and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.
