I have a SQL Server 2005 DB in which a design change requires me to drop a column.Is there a way of identifying all references in the DB including functions & stored procs's that reference this column? I understand there are 3rd party products that can do this but was wondering if there was something baked into SQL Server itself.
View 8 RepliesWhen my Backup Exec runs a Consistency check on tempdb I keep getting this error:

What does this mean exactly, and what do I need to do?
Thanks if you can help.

Trying to clean up after installing several SQL servers on a server. Started by installing SQL2000 enterprise as a named instance. Then added a instalation of SQL2005 enterprise again as a named instance. Then renamed OS level Server / Computer name. Now want to rename the SQL Servers or drop and then re add.
Anyway a long story short I have searched many boards and tired a bunch of things but still I come back to How can I remove things that show up in the list when you use the osql /L command from a command prompt.
Here are several things I have either tried or checked with many different varaitions:
SELECT @@SERVERNAME
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY ('MachineName'), SERVERPROPERTY ('InstanceName')
sp_helpserver
go
sp_dropserver 'MachineNameInstanceName'
GO
sp_addserver 'MachineNameInstanceName', local
GO
DECLARE @srv sysname
SET @srv = CAST(SERVERPROPERTY('ServerName') AS sysname)
UPDATE sysjobs SET originating_server = @srv
If this is a target server (you have jobs sent from a master server), you have to exclude them, so you don't convert those jobs into local jobs:
WHERE originating_server = '<old_name>'
Hi I’m trying to alter a table and delete a column I get the following error. The object 'DF__Morningst__LastU__19EB91BA' is dependent on column 'LastUpdated'.
ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN LastUpdated failed because one or more objects access this column. I tried deleting the concerned constraint. But the next time I get the same error with a different constraint name. I want to find out if I can dynamically check the constraint name and delete it and then drop the column. Can anyone help.IF EXISTS(SELECT 1FROM sysobjects,syscolumnsWHERE sysobjects.id = syscolumns.idAND sysobjects.name = TablenameAND syscolumns.name = column name)BEGIN EXECUTE ('ALTER TABLE tablename DROP CONSTRAINT DF__SecurityM__DsegL__08C105B8')EXECUTE ('ALTER TABLE tablenameDrop column columnname)ENDGO
I have this script which generates droptable tablename.
select top 10000 'drop table '+name, * from sys.tables (nolock) where name like '%4[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]' order by create_date
I would like to generate 'GO' after each drop statement.
I am trying to generate a script to drop 15 tables which have dependencies across the database. Is there a script that could generate the drop stataments based on the child table first , parent table last strategy?

I am using Visual Web Developer Express 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005.
I have set up a trigger that fires when an update has been performed on a specific table. The trigger checks to see if specific columns have been updated. If they have, then the trigger code is executed. This part works fine.
I am now trying to find a way to check if null values exist in either one of two field from the same table. If either field contains a null value, then I don't want the trigger code to be executed.
How can I check for null values and skip a block of code within my Transact Sql trigger.
Thanks.....
I have a webpage where users can connect with other users by sending them a request. Sending the request just puts a row in a connect table that contains the users id, the targetusers id, a requesteddate, an accepted date and a disconnectdate (for the original requester to end the connection and a reject bit the the target can reject the request. Hoever I need to check to assure that the connect does nt already exist either as pending (requestdate is not null and accept date is null) or both dates are not null (connection already complete.).
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[requestConnect]
-- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
@requestor int,
@requested int

I have included in the attached SQL:
Declare @table1 table
(
cnsmr_id int,
complainid int,
complaintstat varchar(10)
)
Insert into @table1

The query should return only cnsmr_id=2 since all the complaints is closed (blank/NULL) i have achieved this using having but is there is more performance way of doing this?
How can I check the overlapping in a simple table like:
Create table forum (cid int, bfrom date, tfrom date, fval int)
Insert into forum values (1, '2014-01-01', '2014-01-31',10),(2, '2014-01-01', '2014-01-31',12),(1, '2014-02-01', '2014-02-28',8),(2, '2014-02-01', '2014-02-28',6),(1, '2014-03-01', '2014-03-31',11),(2, '2014-03-01', '2014-03-31',5),(1, '2014-04-01',
'2014-04-30',14), (2, '2014-03-01', '2014-04-30',12)
In the example above there is an overlapping for the cid 2 in March. How can I check, which select should I apply?

I have a question, Every month I get a request from cutomer service to go into a SQL VIEW and DELETE a column to reflect the past Month. How to write a query to create a SQL job to performed this task automatically. For example today I deleted the column [2015/03] which represents the month of March. The columns left are [2015/04] representing the current month, [2015/05], [2015/06],[2015/07]....[2016/08].Next month I will have to delete column [2015/04]and the current month will be [2015/05]....etc.
So I'm thinking I will have to Drop the column and also Maybe using a date funtion to look at the current date and format it to reflect [YYYY/MM] and IF the Column Month is less than current date month then drop the column.

Basically, I have a membership table that lists each member with an effective period, Eff_Period, that indicates a month when a member was active. So, if a member is active from Jan to Mar, there will be three rows with Eff_Periods of 201501, 201502 and 201503.
All well and good.But, a member may not necessarily have continuous months for active membership. They might have only been active for Jan, Feb and Jun. That would still give them three rows, but with noncontinuous Eff_Periods; they'd be 201501, 201502 and 201506.There is also a table that logs member activity. It has an Activity_Date that holds the date of the activity - betcha didn't see that comin'. What I'm trying to do is determine if an activity took place during a period when the member was active.
My original thought was to count how many rows a member has in the Membership table and compare that number to the number of months between the MIN(Eff_Period) and the MAX(Eff_Period). If the numbers didn't matchup, then I knew that the member had a disconnect somewhere; he became inactive, then active again. But, then I thought of the scenario I detailed above and realized that the counts could match, but still have a discontinuity.So, is there a nifty little SQL shortcut that could determine if a target month is contained within a continuous or discontinuous list of months?
I am using aloha POS and they have the date for every check in separate fields and now I want to calculate the total time for the checks but unable to get the how of it..
The date is DOB and it's datetime but I just need to extra the getdate() from it.The open time is OPENHOUR and OPENMINThe close time is CLOSEHOUR and CLOSEMIN
so basically the open time for the check will be the DATE FROM DOB + OPENHOUR + OPENMIN
And the close time will be DATE FROM DOB + CLOSEHOUR + CLOSEMIN
How can I get the total minutes for the check?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a table that keeps track of all changes that were performed in an application. There is a column called "old value" and column called "new value". There are some values in the application that don't require data therefore the "old value" or "new value" values can be empty. These columns are an nvarchar data type because the value can be text or numbers or dates. An example is "ReceivedDate". There is a report that is generated based on this table.
What is happening is the query in the report dataset is adding dates when it should be displaying empty. They query is using "CASE/WHEN/THEN". What I need is "When the column is "RecievedDate" and it is not null then convert it to a date". This is for formatting purposes.
This is an example of the table:
UpdateColumn
Old Value
New Value
ReceivedDate
7/8/2015 5:00:00 AM
ReceivedDate
7/8/2015 12:00:00 AM
7/9/2015 5:00:00 AM
ReceivedDate
7/9/2015 12:00:00 AM
So, the first time it was updated there was no value but it was replaced with July 8, 2015 and so on.This is what the report is displaying
This is the query:
CASE UpdateColumn
... WHEN 'ReceivedDate' THEN (replace(convert(varchar(11),CONVERT ( date, oldvalue ), 106), ' ', '-') )
...
I tried adding
CASE UpdateColumn
...
WHEN 'ReceivedDate' IS NOT NULL
THEN (replace(convert(varchar(11),CONVERT ( date, oldvalue ), 106), ' ', '-') )
...
But it did not like the "IS NOT NULL".
I checked column from xsd file which created from DataBase.
And before installing my application I will check any column in destination base whether have complete column or not.
And if there is any column which is not wanted column(not same as xsd structure)
I will delete it by creating sql command as follow "ALTER TABLE tableName DROP COLUMN column1, column2, ......"
and Execute it by program initialization.
So
I need delete it by run-time
However some column may be Primary Key with any reason
That's why I can't delete them by simple command
I expect to delete them by specific column instead of specific constraint name which is not sure name.
Please advise me....
Hi all,
how can I drop a column in a table.
I did this...
ALTER TABLE tm_spn_equip_def ADD Customer_No int NOT NULL DEFAULT dbo.f_spn_GetCustomerNo() WITH VALUES
Now when I attempt to do this...
ALTER TABLE tm_spn_equip_def DROP COLUMN Customer_No
I get an error:
Msg 5074, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The object 'DF__tm_spn_eq__Custo__019E3B86' is dependent on column 'Customer_No'.
Msg 4922, Level 16, State 9, Line 1
ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN Customer_No failed because one or more objects access this column.
How can I get around this?

I have a database that I have made using sql server 2005 express edition. I want to run a query to drop one of the columns from one of the tables. I have tried the following but had no luck.
USE database
DROP column FROM table
This is the error that I got when I tried this.
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'FROM'.
Of course, my query had the real database, table and column names. I have generic ones that I have provided here.
Do I have to alter the table instead of dropping the column that I don't want?
Do I have to remake the table without the column that I don't want?
Hello !

COMMIT
If i dont commit the drop constraint, it wont let me drop the column
Solutions?
