Transact SQL :: Possible To Get Table Relationships Information From Database Diagram?
May 5, 2015
I'm using Sql Server 2012 Enterprise and have a database with over 400 tables. I am looking at one diagram which contains about 20 (or so) tables and their relationships. When I right-click on a relationship line I only see information about which tables are connected on that line but not on which fields. Can I get that information from the Diagram or can I only get that from the sys tables?

I am working on moving information from one of our databases into a newer one the company has recently setup. I am working in MS SQL Server 2012 and am trying to Inset/Update (depending on the information) a part table. I will list the two tables I am working on as Old (where I am getting the information) and New (where it is to be inserted into).
The old table has about 250 columns of information, most of which is not needed. The needed information is as follows: Name, ID, Component1, Component1_PIN,Component1_SN, Component1_Description, Component2, Component2_PIN, Component2_SN. The component section repeats up to Component12.
The new table has columns setup as such: Name, ID, Case, CasePIN, CaseSN, Case_Desc, Processor, ProcessorPIN, ProcessorSN, Processor_Description, Memory, MemoryPIN, MemorySN, Memory_Description, etc.
The issue I am having is that in the old table each component can have Case, Processor, Memory, etc in that one column. I need to insert Case, Memory, etc into the correct column in the new table while keeping intact the rest of the information.
Example:
Old Table
Name | ID | Component1 | Component1_PIN | Component1_SN | Component1_Description | Component2 | Component2_PIN | Component2_SN | Component2_Description
Nest8 | 5682 | Case | 901834 | 237848117 | Black, rectangular | Memory | 9081234 | 5398798134 | NULL
Nest8 | 5978 | Case | 901463 | 237848138 | Black, rectangular | Processor | 2394875 | 2903857809 | Bad
Reds3 | 5683 | Memory | 2405 | 89752342 | Crucial | HardDrive | 92387595 | 457982234 | NULL
Bass | 5644 | HardDrive | 79872346 | 5321675789 | NULL | Case | 10984528 | 3498769872 | NULL
I am not sure how to loop through and grab each part and place it in the column it needs to be while keeping it with the ID.

I would like to know how to (if it is at all possible) in SQL (or even ADO) to retrieve all the data concerning database X's
a) Tables
b) Tables column names
c) Tables column's data types
I don't want to use the doa.tabledefs object.. .i would prefer to do it in SQL, but using ADO objects (since I am developing stuff in VB) would be ok too.
Please Help.. i have been going crazy trying to find anything useful.. email me back please!
Thanks,
Matt

Hi,
I need to provide a report that lists the databases in each instance, then the tablenames and the number of rows in each table.
Is there any easy way to do this in SQL 2005?

Hi all,
While cleaning up some code, I ran across the following statement in a stored proc - the purpose of which is to determine if a table exists in the local database: SELECT * FROM dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[XML_PRINTDATE]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1of course I removed it from the IF just for testing purposes, but my quandry is this...
Why chose that select (converting table name to object ID) rather than just doing THIS:SELECT * FROM dbo.sysobjects where name = N'XML_PRINTDATE' and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1
I first thought it was to gain access to the "id" column value (and that may yet be the purpose of it), but the second code seems to work just peachy (I assume because the id column is present in the sysobjects table itself).
A follow-on question is this:
When I try to do the same check from another server (i.e.SELECT * FROM APRECEIVE1.DailyProd.dbo.sysobjects where name = N'XML_PRINTDATE' and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1) it of course fails because OBJECTPROPERTY only looks for the id on the local database.
So, do I CARE if it is a user table? (I am reasonably sure it is, of course) and if so, is there a way to check on the remote server for the object type?
Bottom line is I Think I can just simplify things and check for the object name on the remote server, but just don't want to take away any "warm fuzzy feeling" generated by the original stored proc, if such a warm fuzzy is of any benefit (though don't get me started on the relativity of warm fuzzies, I wrote my Thesis on that ;) )

I have created a database with several tables. I want to create a database diagram to show the relationshipbetween the tables. Below are the steps from the SQL Server 2005 documentation on how to create a database diagram. The problem is that when I right click on the Database Diagrams folder I am only given two options. They are:"Working with SQL Server diagrams" and "Refresh"There is no menu choice to create a new database diagram. Can anyone tell me what the problem here is?
To create a new database diagramIn Object Explorer, right-click the Database Diagrams folder or any diagram in that folder.
Choose New Database Diagram on the shortcut menu.
The Add Table dialog box appears.
Select the required tables in the Tables list and click Add.
The tables are displayed graphically in the new database diagram.

I am looking for a Sql query to verify the inserted values from one table(in CSV file) with another table(in sql database)
For example: I have below Values column that is present in once CSV file, after my data migration the values get stored in Results table under Message column.
I need to very whether values(1X,1Y) are inserted in Message record "successfully inserted value 1X"
Values (CSV)
1X
1Y
Results Table(SQL)
CreatedDate Message
2015-08-04 08:45:29.203 successfully inserted value 1X
2015-08-04 08:44:29.103 TEst pass
2015-08-04 08:43:29.103 successfully inserted value 1X
2015-08-04 08:42:29.203 test point
2015-08-04 08:35:29.203 successfully inserted value 1Y
2015-08-04 08:30:29.203 Test Pass
2015-08-04 08:28:29.203 successfully inserted value 1Y
If all values are inserted:
Output:
All values from values table are inserted successfully
Total count of values inserted: 2
If only few values are inserted, example only 1X from Values table is inserted in Message
Example:
Results Table CreatedDate Message
2015-08-04 08:45:29.203 successfully inserted value 1X
2015-08-04 08:44:29.103 TEst pass
2015-08-04 08:43:29.103 successfully inserted value 1X
2015-08-04 08:42:29.203 test point
Output:
All values from values are not inserted successfully in result table.
Total count of values inserted: 1
Missing Values not inserted in results table are: 1Y

Hi,
I'm working on a database for which I require to have a lot of relations from my Persons table to other tables. I will need my primary key in those other tables: about 10 to 15 tables, to be able to relate to my persons data.
I believe this means I have 10 to 15 clustered indexes on this table.
Is this the right way of working? I know too many of this relations to other tables will have impact on performance concerning insert and updates.
But I noticed in the adventureworks example it works just this way for the products table.
What is the max limit of this kind of relations? (for reasonably good performance)
Should I use triggers instead? - for those with the least user interaction?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

I am working through a book about setting up a database, though i'm doing it slightly differently, using a sql server database on a remote server rather than the local sql server express database shipped with visual studio.
everything has been going fine until i've reached a part where they want to add a database diagram to the existing database. they talk about right clicking the database diagram node, and selecting add, but for some reason there is no database diagram node, so i can't do it this way. the book also says using the data>add new>diagram from the menu, but when i do this i either have no diagram option (when i have no table opened) or else the diagram option is greyed out and unselectable (when i have a table opened).
any ideas on how i can add a database diagram?

i am trying to create a database diagram but this error appears. what does this mean and what should i do? tnx
This database does not have a valid dbo user or you do not have permissions
to impersonate the dbo user, so database diagramming is not available.
Ensure the dbo account is valid and ensure that you have impersonate
permission on the dbo account.

Hello,
I am looking to print the table structure of a Microsoft SQL Server 7 database through the Enterprise Manager Utility. I would like to print it to a plotter but the print options in the Enterprise Manager are inadequate. I believe I will need to use another program to manipulate the object prior to plot due to its size. I have the following tools available:
VB6
Autocad
(Do not have Adobe Writer)
Is there a way to get this print object to Autocad or even as a bitmap?
Thanks is advance,

I have spend days researching this and found others with the exact same
problem but there are no useful replies as people don't seem to
understand our problem. Please read this carefully...
What is the best way to create relationships between new SQL tables? For example, say I want to create a new database with tables for Customer, Orders and Details, how to I relate these tables?
- Edit via the Dataset designer in Visual Studio 2005?
- Use the Server Explorer's Table designer in Visual Studio? (not sure how to use the 'relationship' icon)
- Use SQL Server Managment Studio Express (SSMSE) Database Diagram
- Something else?
I am using Visual Studio 2005 Standard and SQL Server 2005 Express (SP1).
I created a new database in Visual Studio's Server Explorer and then used the Table Designer to create two new Tables (Customers and Orders). I then assigned primary keys but I don't know the best way to relate the tables.
If I create and edit a new dataset, I can graphically drag a relationship between the tables. HOWEVER, this relationship isn't recognized by SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE). I found this out when I tried to create a database diagram, none of the relationships appear in SQL?! This would cause problems when I want to deploy the database to my client.
If however, I START in SSMSE and create the tables there, then open a Database Diagram in SSMSE and graphically link the tables, then Visual Studio will see all the relationships.
I thought it was supposed to be a seamless integration between Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005. Am I missing something?

Packagename
Table2 (JunctionTable)
PackageID
JobID
Table3
JobID
JobName
And I want to create a new package and new Job Name at the same time I would need to make multiple insert statements
First take care of the new Package
INSERT INTO Table1 (PackageName) Value (@PackageName)
Then Take Care of the JobName
INSERT INTO Table3 (JobName) Value (@JobName)
Finally marry the two together
but how?

What is the advantages/disadvantages of using Database Diagram and link all the tables in MS SQL Server Management Studio versus letting the application check and link the different tables at run time? Currently, I do not have all my tables linked in a Database Diagram. I do everything at run time in my application code behind. What are the best practices? Which is easier or perhaps more secure?

All --
Please help.
I am having trouble printing a database diagram.
When I do, I get junk artifacts on the page on each table, shaded areas that obscure part of the picture.
I get these results when I print with Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and when I print to my HP4200N laser printer.
Is there a required driver or something?
Please advise.
(I apologize but this is the only good place I could find for this post-- if you have any hints for other locations then please post links.)
Thank you.
