I would very much like to create a trigger on the sysobjects table in my database. When I attempt to do so, I get a permission error. Is there some way I can change the permission setting to allow me to do this?
Once in a while, I find down there are some missing objects in production database. Because we share the sa password with couple of developers, therefore, it's hard find down who did it. So, I try to create a trigger in sysobjects table to prevent this problem, however, I keep getting the error message "error 229: create trigger permission denied on object 'sysobjects'" although I log in using sa. Can someone give me some suggestions how to prevent this from happening beside using trace profiler and also why do I get the denied message when create trigger on sysobject even with sa login.
I am not aboe to view the userdefined tables in sql 2005. not sure whether my user dont have permission to view. how to view my user permission or not ..
another one , is there any table to find system table instead sysobjects,information_schema in 2000.
HI there , i have recently upgraded my publishers to 2005.
Transactional replciation seems to be running fine.
However in SS2000 i always used to query sysobjects on replinfo to see if a table was replicaed and how it was replicated, 1 = snapshot , 3 = transactional etc.
However after upgrading replinfo on sysobjects is 0 for all my articles, whats up with this ?
Must i use sp_helparticle only now? Also how does the system know if an object is replicated now , i used to think it used the replinfo column on sysobjects, how is this different in 2005?
Hi all, I have a question about accessing a specific column from the database. I know when we use: select name from sysobjects would select all the table names and the constraints from the database. I want to select all the column names in each of the table. How can I go about doing this. Thank you
First of all, I tried to attach my *.mdf file to SQL 2000. but It was not only failed but also SQL 2005 failed to recover my *mdf file.
Now, I think my *.MDF file has system tables for SQL 2005 because when trying to attach *.mdf to SQL 2000 engine send the following message :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Msg 906, Level 22, State 2, Line 1 Could not locate row in sysobjects for system catalog 'Sysobjects' in database 'rudol.net'. This system catalog should exist in all databases. Run DBCC CHECKTABLE on sysobjects in this database. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, I tried again to attach the *.mdf to SQL 2005 but SQL 2005 doesn't really works.
Stupidly, I didn't back up the *.mdf file.
How do I attach it to SQL 2005 or recovery "sysobjects" table for SQL 2000? Please answer.
P.S. Forgive my terrible English. English is not my mother tongue.
i have deleted the 'sysobjects' table by accident. then follows the problem. 1. default value constraint not working 2. auto increment constraint not working
is that because of this sysobjects problem. help me out to fix this problem...
Hi,I'm using "select [name] from sysobjects where OBJECTPROPERTY(id,N'IsUserTable') = 1" to get all user-defined tables(about 17000tables)and found out there are tables missing in sysobjects.How can I refresh/rebuild sysobjects table?is there a better way to get a list of user-defined tables?thanks,
Is there a reference to describe the relevance of the Category column in the sysobjects table? I'm trying to track down stored procedures that are set to automatically run at startup and the only thing I can find that is consistent about those that are set to autorun is that they have a value of 16 in the Category column. Is this consistent? What else may I glean from this column?
Not sure how I did this, but I dropped a table and it still shows up in sysobjects. This breaks a job that rebuilds indexes because the table doesn't exist. I tried recreating and dropping the table, but the extra entry is still there. Would it be okay to just delete the row from sysobjects? This has happened in a 2000 and 2005 db at the same time.

I've got an 'accidental client' (sister company without a DBA at the moment) who has a problem that I've never seen before. They have a table that SQL claims to not exist in sysobjects. But it does exist in sysobjects as a User Table:

I've fully verified the correct existence of the table and how it links to the object ID by running statements like:
quote:select * from sysobjects where name = 'MyTable' and type = 'U' select object_id('MyTable') select object_name(55671246)
Odd that when selecting data from the table the error refers to the database by the table name. Running checktable on sysobjects shows no errors.
Running sp_help 'MyTable' works and shows the expected results as far as columns, indexes, and such. The table structure is fully visible in Management Studio and can be visually explored. Only when querying data is there an issue.
All tables are owned by dbo.
Ideally I need to recover these tables. If that is impossible, I'd like to remove the tables and cleanly free up all the related data pages.
Hi,I'm trying to determine with my program whether or not a given databasesupports a given feature set. To do this I'm querying for certain storedprocedures in the sysobjects table and if they are present, making theassumption the database will support the given feature. The problem is Ican't find a certain stored procedure in the sysobjects table, even though Iknow it exists and can see other similar procedures using:select * from dbo.sysobjects order by nameIts as if all of my other stored procedures are in the sysobjects tableexcept this one, the one I'm specifically querying for. Are there certainreasons why a proc won't appear in the sysobjects table? Is this somethingI need to fix?Thanks,Robin
Could anyone, please, explain to me why I have negative values inRowModCtr column in sysobjects table? I have tested that after I updatestatistics the RowModCtr column is reset to 0. But why do I havenegative values in the first place? Thx.
I've written a scalar function in C# for the MS SQL Server 2005 that has to have access to two databases in one instance of a server ("database1" and "database2"). I got information from database1, calculate the name of the database2 and got information from user's tables in the database2. But when I'm trying to get informatin from "sys.tables", "sys.columns", "sysobjects" I always get an error "System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: This statement has attempted to access data whose access is restricted by the assembly."
All databases are inside one server, I can run this quieries in SQL Server management Studio - could anybody help me what should I set/change to get metainformation from another database in the same server (in fact I need a list of fields of a curtain table).
Thanks,
Alex Gerasimov
P.S. Atrribute [SqlFunction(DataAccess = DataAccessKind.Read)] is in the applicaiton.
All my online research has told me how to get info about a table field's data using the system tables, but I can't find anything that tells how to get that table field's data specifically. Could be that it's difficult to explain so difficult to search on but I know there has to be a way to do this and it can't be that difficult.
How do I use the system tables sysobjects and syscolumns to give me the data from a specific field in a third table?
Basically I don't want to know the field type for a tables field, I want to know that field's value.
Let's say I have a table called tblCompanies and that table has 4 fields. idCompany, companyName, companyState, and companyCountry.
How can I return the value as a command parameter for any one of the 4 fields using sysobjects and syscolumns?
If I were writing dynamic SQL I would do something like this:
set @valueToReturn = exec ('select ' + @fieldNameToReturn + ' from ' + @tableToSearch + ' where ' + @fieldToMatchOn + ' = ' + @valueToMatchOn)
But I don't want to use dynamic SQL, I want to use the existing system tables to write a straightforward query. My nonfunctioning/English version of this would be:
give me the value for the field name I send in as a string (@fieldNameToReturn) from the table I send in as a string (@tblToSearch) where (sysobjects.name = @tblToSearch) and (syscolumns.name = @fieldNameToReturn) and (@tblToSearch.@fieldnameToMatchOn = @valueToMatchAgainst)
I'm using sysobjects and syscolumns because that's where I can use my variables for table name and column name to link. I just can't figure out how to get hold of my actual data table and the values in it.
Does that make any sense to anyone? I'm sure someone has had to want something like this.
Greetings:I have to do a one-off forceful change of some data in a database. Ineed to disable some FK constraints, make the data change, and thenre-enable the constraints.My process will be:ALTER TABLE TABLE1 NOCHECK CONSTRAINT FK_TABLE1_TABLE2UPDATE TABLE1 SET COLUMN1=2 WHERE COLUMN2='Problem row'ALTER TABLE TABLE1 CHECK CONSTRAINT FK_TABLE1_TABLE2I wanted to get some evidence that the constraints were back up after Idid the 'check constraint' statements, so I looked in sysobjects.There's a status column for the constraints, but I can't make muchsense of the numbers. Most of the FK constraints that I have notchanged are of status 0, but when I NOCHECK a constraint, it goes to2304. When I CHECK it again, it's 2408.Can someone explain this, and suggest a way to double-check that myconstraints are in fact enabled once I run the CHECK statement?Thanks!!
hi all,i was using the system tables namely sysindexes and sysobjects in sql server 2000. But now sql server 2005 is using instead of sql server 2000. Since am using sysindexes and sysobjects, too much time is taking for the execution in sql server 2005. So I need to change the query suitable for sql server 2005.I have read in msdn that the system tables are replaced with corresponding catalog views in sql server 2005. The catelog view for sysobjects is sys.objects. plz check the link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187997.aspxCould anyone please tell me how to replace the sysindexes and sysobjects in the query without rewriting the query too much. If I can replacesysobjects with just sys.objects, then it will be very helpful. Is it possible? And what about sysindexes. Any help anyone could give would be greatly appreciated!
I granted all the rights on the database to the user (db_owner, public, db_datawriter, etc...) However, I didn't grant the "System Administrators" role. I also specifically granted the select on those tables (sysobjects and sysindexes) for the user and checked through ‘sp_helprotect sysobjects’ command whether there are no specific revokes for for that user.
However, the user is still getting the below error while trying to expand the "Tables" view in the Enterprise Manager.
Also, the user claims that he can’t seem to do anything with the database, he can’t view any objects, and, when he goes to Query Analyzer, if he tries to run a SELECT query on a table (that he know that this table exists), he gets this error:
SELECT permission denied on object 'tblBillingTrans', database 'My_Test', owner 'dbo'.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Alla
I'm new to this whole SQL Server 2005 thing as well as database design and I've read up on various ways I can integrate business constraints into my database. I'm not sure which way applies to me, but I could use a helping hand in the right direction.
A quick explanation of the various tables I'm dealing with: WBS - the Work Breakdown Structure, for example: A - Widget 1, AA - Widget 1 Subsystem 1, and etc. Impacts - the Risk or Opportunity impacts for the weights of a part/assembly. (See Assemblies have Impacts below) Allocations - the review of the product in question, say Widget 1, in terms of various weight totals, including all parts. Example - September allocation, Initial Demo allocation, etc. Mostly used for weight history and trending Parts - There are hundreds of Parts which will eventually lead to thousands. Each part has a WBS element. [Seems redundant, but parts are managed in-house, and WBS elements are cross-company and issued by the Government] Parts have Allocations - For weight history and trending (see Allocations). Example, Nut 17 can have a September 1st allocation, a September 5th allocation, etc. Assemblies - Parts are assemblies by themselves and can belong to multiple assemblies. Now, there can be multiple parts on a product, say, an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), and so those parts can belong to a higher "assembly" [For example, there can be 3 Nut 17's (lower assembly) on Widget 1 Subsystem 2 (higher assembly) and 4 more on Widget 1 Subsystem 5, etc.]. What I'm concerned about is ensuring that the weight roll-ups are accurate for all of the assemblies. Assemblies have Impacts - There is a risk and opportunity impact setup modeled into this design to allow for a risk or opportunity to be marked on a per-assembly level. That's all this table represents.
A part is allocated a weight and then assigned to an assembly. The Assemblies table holds this hierarchical information - the lower assembly and the higher one, both of which are Parts entries in the [Parts have Allocations] table.
Therefore, to ensure proper weight roll ups in the [Parts have Allocations] table on a per part-basis, I would like to check for any inserts, updates, deletes on both the [Parts have Allocations] table as well as the [Assemblies] table and then re-calculate the weight roll up for every assembly. Now, I'm not sure if this is a huge performance hog, but I do need to keep all the information as up-to-date and as accurate as possible. As such, I'm not sure which method is even correct, although it seems an AFTER DML trigger is in order (from what I've gathered thus far). Keep in mind, this trigger needs to go through and check every WBS or Part and then go through and check all of it's associated assemblies and then ensure the weights are correct by re-summing the weights listed.
If you need the design or create script (table layout), please let me know.
Are there any limitations or gotchas to updating the same table whichfired a trigger from within the trigger?Some example code below. Hmmm.... This example seems to be workingfine so it must be something with my specific schema/code.

This Audit Trigger is Generic (i.e. non-"Table Specific") attach it to any tabel and it should work. Be sure and create the 'Audit' table first though.
The following code write audit entries to a Table called 'Audit' with columns 'ActionType' //varchar 'TableName' //varchar 'PK' //varchar 'FieldName' //varchar 'OldValue' //varchar 'NewValue' //varchar 'ChangeDateTime' //datetime 'ChangeBy' //varchar
using System; using System.Data; using System.Data.SqlClient; using Microsoft.SqlServer.Server;

The trick was getting the Table Name and the Primary Key Columns. I hope this code is found useful.
I want to be able to create a trigger that updates table 2 when a row is inserted into table 1. However I€™m not sure how to increment the ID in table 2 or to update only the row that has been inserted.
I want to be able to create a trigger so that when a row is inserted into table A by a specific user then the ID will appear in table B. Is it possible to find out the login id of the user inserting a row?
I believe the trigger should look something like this:
create trigger test_trigger on a for insert as insert into b(ID)
When a row gets modified and it invokes a trigger, we would like to beable to update the row that was modified inside the trigger. This is(basically) how we are doing it now:CREATE TRIGGER trTBL ON TBLFOR UPDATE, INSERT, DELETEasupdate TBLset fld = 'value'from inserted, TBLwhere inserted.id= TBL.id....This work fine but it seems like it could be optimized. Clearly we arehaving to scan the entire table again to update the row. But shouldn'tthe trigger already know which row invoked it. Do we have to scan thetable again for this row or is their some syntax that allows us toupdate the row that invoked the trigger. If not, why. It seems likethis would be a fairly common task. Thanks.
Salve, non riesco a disabilitare un trigger su sqlserver nè da queryanalyzer, nè da enterprise manager.In pratica tal cosa riuscivo a farla in Oracle con TOAD, mentre qui nonriesco.Mi interessa disattivarlo senza cancellarlo per poi riattivarlo al bisognosenza rilanciare lo script di creazione.Grazie a tuttiHi I need to disable a DB trigger and I'm not able to do this neither withquery analyzer, neither with enterprise manager.I remeber this job was quite simple using TOAd in Oracle.I'm interested in making it disabled not delete it, without run creationscript.Thanks a lot to everybody.
Hi, I am not sure if this is the right forum to post this question. I run an update statement like "Update mytable set status='S' " on the SQL 2005 management Studio. When I run "select * from mytable" for a few seconds all status = "S". After a few seconds all status turn to "H". This is a behaviour when you have an update trigger for the table. But I don't see any triggers under this table. What else would cause the database automatically change my update? Could there be any other place I should look for an update trigger on this table? Thanks,
