Hello,
I've been able to startup a transactional replication between 2 database for some tables that only have different table names. Now there are still some tables that not only have different names but also different column names, can this be done in the wizzard ??
Thx
I am researching the possible use of Peer-to-Peer Transactional Replication with SQL 2005 to improve the availability and scalability of the SQL-farm.
View 5 Replies View RelatedThe problem case for transactional replication in MS SQL 7.0 is as follows:
Server A (intended publisher)
Server B (distributor, intended subscriber)
When configuring replication, the distributor (B) can be configured easily; the publisher (A) that uses B as its distributor will not allow for a publication to be created using either the Enterprise Manager wizards or TSQL commands. The error '627: Cannot use SAVE TRANSACTION within a distributed transaction' occurs when creating the publication.
Any suggestions; I need some help ASAP.
Thanks

I am using CROSS APPLY instead of UNPIVOT to unpivot > one column. I am wondering if I can dynamically replace column names based on different tables? The example code that I have working is based on the "Allergy" table. I have thirty more specialty tables to go. I'll show the working code first, then an example of another table's columns to show differences:
select [uplift specialty], [member po],[practice unit name], [final nomination status]
,[final uplift status], [final rank], [final uplift percentage]
,practiceID=row_number() over (partition by [practice unit name] order by Metricname)
,metricname,Metricvalue, metricpercentilerank
[code]....
Rheumatology Table:The columns that vary start with "GDR" and [GDR Percentile Rank] so I'm just showing those:
GDR (nvarchar(255), null)
GDR Percentile Rank (nvarchar(255), null)
GDR PGS (nvarchar(255), null)
GDR Rank Number (nvarchar(255), null)
PMPM (nvarchar(255), null)
[Code] ....
These are imported from an Excel Workbook so that's why all the columns with spaces for now.
Hi,
I am planning to use transacational replication (instead of merge replication) on my SQL server 2000. My application is already live and is being used by real users.
How can I ensure that replicated data on different server would have exact same values of identity columns and date columns (where every I set default date to getdate())?
It is very important for me to have a mirror image of data (without using clustering servers).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi all,I encountered this small problemI have two tables A and B with two columns 1 and 2 each, I would likethe first column of each table when match the first in the second tableis to subtract the second columnso the result would look as followsColumn 1 | Columnn 2where A1=B1 | A2-B2Now this is no problem so far ..But if there was no corresponding value in column 1 in either tables ..i.e. field A1 doesnt exist in Table B column 1, IT SHALL DO A2 - 0; or0-B2 ..NOW How can that be achieved ?Thanks all for your help
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am designing a package to export staging tables into a flat file.The names of the tables will be: TableAStaging_YYYYMM and TableBStaging_YYYYMM. As you can see the names of the tables will be changing each month.

Hi
I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how we could find the table names and column names of the tables in our Sql server database at runtime/dynamically given our connection string? Please let me know.
Thanks.
Hello I have a Source database and a Target database.
I want to join one table from the source to the other table in the target.
Please can some one write a sql query for this.
i gues its something like
select tablesource.col,tabledest.col
from database..tablesource,database..tabledestination
Ok One more question is where do I execute this Query in which database.. IF at all its possible to this.
I need a querry to get all columns names.
thanks
I'm trying to do an update query that looks like this:
UPDATE
PAEMPLOYEE
SET PAEMPLOYEE.LOCAT_CODE = EMPLOYEE.PROCESS_LEVEL
FROM
PAEMPLOYEE A
JOIN EMPLOYEE B ON A.EMPLOYEE = B.EMPLOYEE
It's erroring out on the Employee prefix B.EMPLOYEE saying:
..."does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query"
Is it wrong or will it cause problems to have a field name the same as the table name?
Hey,
I'm creating registration form.
To show fields names I thought to read columns names.
It's ok if columns is named like "Name", "Age" etc.
But if the columns is named [Country, Address, PostCode] then, I think, it can course some problems. Am I right?
First problem I thought about - changing database in the future (Now MS SQL 2k to MySQL etc.)
Is this the only problem?
To solve this I think using table which store syscolumn names as user defined columns names.
My system is speed critical and using this I would get less performance.
Which way should I go?
Case saving columns names in table, how to generate safe column name from user specified name, which can have special charters.
Thanks

Hi,
I am looking for some help in MS SQL server. I want to access the columns of a table without using the names of the colulmns.
Example - SELECT table1.field[1], table1.field[2] FROM table1;
Any information to this effect is much appreciated.

I have one column name that is: description
when i write a query the world lights up with blue, I think I saw someone using [ ] around the word but I no longer remember if this is the way to handle reserve words that have been use as columns names
I've called a resultset from SQL Server
using an SQL Selection. I need to iterate over that entire result set
(200+ columns/fields) and all I need are the random numbers contained
in any of the rows/columns. I don't want to have to name each
field/column and then use an if > 0 statement.Isn't there
some way to generically loop through the column's by index or something
instead of their field name so I can just use an integer loop to walk
the dataset? I know there is I've done it about 5 years ago. The
question is how do you do it in C#?SqlConnection thisConn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["SQLQuery"].ConnectionString); SqlCommand thisCmd = new SqlCommand("Command String", thisConn); thisCmd.CommandText = "Select * from SelectionsByCountry where [" + DropDownList1.SelectedItem.ToString() + "] > '0'"; thisConn.Open(); SqlDataReader thisReader = null; thisReader = thisCmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection); while (thisReader.Read()) { DropDownList2.Items.Add(thisReader["System"].ToString().Trim());/*** There are 200+ columns left I want to walk over using a loop structure of some sort. How do I do that?*/ }- Rex

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a database with an unknown number of columns. Hence, the column names are also unknown. What's the easiest SQL to present the values in each column and the column headings?
View 1 Replies View Relatedhi,
i am sure this question must have been anwsered some where, but after a lot of searching i still have not find the anwser.
i have flat files without column headers (267 columns in total).
since i have the file's description i have created a table to house these extracts with the columns in the same order as in the flat files.
additionally, i have an excel containing a list of the column names their data types and length as well as their position on the flat files.
in the old, DTS would map the columns without headers to those columns in the destination table using their order, in which case it works like a breeze for me. but i can not find a way of doing that in SSIS.
i would very much appreciate someone's assistance on this one since i am sure that there must be a better way than manually (and tediously & error prone) to map all those columns.
thanks in advance
I am trying to do a PIVOT on a query result, but the column names created by the PIVOT function are dynamic.
For example (modified from the SQL Server 2005 Books Online documentation on the PIVOT operator) :
SELECT
Division,
[2] AS CurrentPeriod,
[1] AS PreviousPeriod
FROM
(
SELECT
Period,
Division,
Sales_Amount
FROM
Sales.SalesOrderHeader
WHERE
(
Period = @period
OR Period = @period - 1
)
) p
PIVOT
(
SUM (Sales_Amount)
FOR Period IN ( [2], [1] )
) AS pvt
Let's assume that any value 2 is selected for the @period parameter, and returns the sales by division for periods 2 and 1 (2 minus 1).
Division CurrentPeriod PreviousPeriodA 400 3000 B 400 100 C 470 300 D 800 2500 E 1000 1900
What if the value @period were to be changed, to say period 4 and it should returns the sales for periods 4 and 3 for example, is there a way I can change to code above to still perform the PIVOT while dynamically accepting the period values 4 and 3, applying it to the columns names in the first SELECT statement and the FOR ... IN clause in the PIVOT statement ?
Need a way to represent the following [2] and [1] column names dynamically depending on the value in the @period parameter.
[2] AS CurrentPeriod,
[1] AS PreviousPeriod
FOR Period IN ( [2], [1] )
I have tried to use the @period but it doesn't work.
Thanks in advance.

I have two tables table1 and table2 and having a common column "col1"
When i ran the following query
UPDATE table1, table2 SET col1=FALSE WHERE id = 1;
getting the following error
Error Code: 1052
Column 'col1' in field list is ambiguous
id column exist in both the tables and need to update both the tables to false where the id is equivalent to 1.
Hi Madhu,
my table does not have primary key so i created a seperate index on each of the table.
I used the recommended tablediff utility and it works successfully. But its only show the difference of records in each table and does not copy rows from source to destination and destination to source table. I was expecting database1.dbo.table1 contains same records as in database1.dbo.table2.
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90COM>tablediff /sourceserver kashif-pcs
qlexpress /sourcedatabase AB /sourcetable table1 /destinationserver kashif-pcsq

on kashif-pcsqlexpress have 5 differences.

The requested operation took 0.466767 seconds.
Can you write a short script for my problem, just like comparison of database1.dbo.table1 compares in database2.dbo.table2 and which ever records not present it should copy those and vice-versa.
It means Database1.dbo.table1 contains 5 records
Database2.dbo.table2 contains 5 records

I am imagining something you might pass the names of 2 stored procs (an old version and new one), and a query to produce valid parameters. It would then fire off each proc for a set number of executions, while storing off the results in temp tables, and at the end it would do a data compare, and store off performance data from dynamic management views.
Now I know how to get the parameters for a stored procedure out of the catalogue views, but is SQL Server aware at all of the schema of the results of stored procedures that return result sets, becuase I was thinking of doing something like...
INSERT INTO #datacompare(col1,col2)
EXEC mystoredprocedure
... but I can not seem to figure out how to dynamically gather the schema of the result set.
I am trying to figure out how to pivot a temporary table. I have a table which starts with a date but the number of columns and columns names will vary but will be type INT (Data, col2,col3,col4………….n)
So it could look like
Date , TS-Sales, Budget , Toms sales
01-Jan-14,100,120,300
02-Jan-14,80,150,300
03-Jan-14,100,20,180
Turned to this
01-jan-14, 02-jan-14, 03-jan-14
100,80,100
120,150,20
300,300,180
Or even just the date and a SUM
What I want is to be able to sum al the columns but without knowing the name and the amount columns to start with this is a manually processes. How could I automate this?
While looking forward to design a multi-columnar cross-tab query I am anxious to know if there could be a way to change the default names of the pivot columns? In other words for the query like the following can there be a way to apply anAS type command to reflect some other names, instead of having the four dates in heading? Something like Month_A, Month_B?
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT
X.REP_DT,
X.CUST_ID
AMOUNT_1
FROM
X) P
PIVOT (SUM(AMOUNT_1) FOR REP_DT IN ([2014-12-31], [2015-01-31], [2015-02-28], [2015-03-31])) PVT_01
So I have been trying to get mySQL query to work for a large database that I have. I have (lets say) two tables Table_One and Table_Two. Table_One has three columns: Type, Animal and TestID and Table_Two has 2 columns Test_Name and Test_ID. Example with values is below:
**TABLE_ONE**
Type Animal TestID
-----------------------------------------
Mammal Goat 1
Fish Cod 1
Bird Chicken 1
Reptile Snake 1
Bird Crow 2
Mammal Cow 2
Bird Ostrich 3
**Table_Two**
Test_name TestID
-------------------------
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_2 2
Test_2 2
Test_3 3
In Table_One all types come under one column and the values of all Types (Mammal, Fish, Bird, Reptile) come under another column (Animals). Table_One and Two can be linked by Test_ID
I am trying to create a table such as shown below:
Test_Name Bird Reptile Mammal Fish
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Test_1 Chicken Snake Goat Cod
Test_2 Crow Cow
Test_3 Ostrich
This should be my final table. The approach I am currently using is to make multiple instances of Table_One and using joins to form this final table. So the column Bird, Reptile, Mammal and Fish all come from a different copy of Table_one.
For e.g
Select
Test_Name AS 'Test_Name',
Table_Bird.Animal AS 'Birds',
Table_Mammal.Animal AS 'Mammal',
Table_Reptile.Animal AS 'Reptile,
Table_Fish.Animal AS 'Fish'
From Table_One
[Code] .....
The problem with this query is it only works when all entries for Birds, Mammals, Reptiles and Fish have some value. If one field is empty as for Test_Two or Test_Three, it doesn't return that record. I used Or instead of And in the WHERE clause but that didn't work as well.
I need to find column names if any after 2 “check” columns.
Scenario: I have a database, with approx 400-1500 tables, depending on installation of software. The software is structured so that, when it synchronizes the SQL database it will create all the columns e.g. custacc, custname etc. and then it will always put in two check columns “CheckOne” and “CheckTwo” these two columns has to be the two last ones. In 99.9 this always works fine, but sometime if the users creates a new field in the software, when it synchronizes the new field “lands” behind the two checkfields, which is not good.
So what I am after is a script, which can run through all user tables, tell me if there are columns after the two checkfields and list those tables if any.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Henrik.
