Find Literal Underscore - Not Wildcard
Mar 21, 2005In MS Sql 2000 - is it possible to find the literal underscore character (_). Something like:
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar like 'a\_%'
where the query would return "a_abc", "a_cba", and "a_lksdfjlkdsjlksjdfl", but not "abc"?
I've tried:
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar like 'a\_%'
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar like ( 'a' + CHAR(95) + '%' )
Any other suggestions?

Underscore & Sp_columns ?!!
Oct 9, 2000Hi friends,
I got troubles when I tried to pass table name to sp_columns via
@local_variable:
declare @tname as char(50)
set @tname = 'TB_MyTable'
exec sp_columns @tname
result of such script is:
TABLE_QUALIFIER ...[skipped]
-----------------------------------
(0 row(s) affected)
But if I will say:
exec sp_columns 'TB_MyTable'
result will be correct (all neccessary data about columns will be provided)
So, looks like if I pass table name which contains underscore via
@local_variable or SP parameter - result will be wrong.
If table name won't contains underscore - everything works fine and result
of script:
declare @tname as char(50)
set @tname = 'MyTable'
exec sp_columns @tname
will be absolutely correct.
Please, anybody can clarify this situation ???
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Win NT Integrated Logging: User Names Have Underscore(_)
Jan 8, 1999I want to establish logging using NT Security. The problem is that user names in NT have underscore(_). When I establish NT Scurity in SQL security manager, SQL Server tries to add blank names as login id and they will not go through. Is it manadatory to remove underscore from username?
Because of structrual hierarchy, I have different groups in NT to be mapped to SQL Server groups and each group has different permission on SQL tables. In some cases we might have same users in more than one group. I read that it is not possible if you use NT integrated security. Is there any thing that can be worked around this and is this problem still exists in SQL 7.
Thank you in advance

Anything That You Find In SQL Object Scripts, You Can Also Find Them In System Tables?
Jul 26, 2005I tried all the INFORMATION_SCHEMA on SQL 2000 andI see that the system tables hold pretty much everything I aminterested in: Objects names (columns, functions, stored procedures, ...)stored procedure statements in syscomments table.My questions are:If you script your whole database everything you end up havingin the text sql scripts, are those also located in the system tables?That means i could simply read those system tables to get any informationI would normally look in the sql script files?Can i quickly generate a SQL statement of all the indexes on my database?I read many places that Microsoftsays not to modify anything in those tables and not query them since theirstructure might change in future SQL versions.Is it safe to use and rely the system tables?I basically want to do at least fetching of information i want from thesystem tables rather than the SQL script files.I also want to know if it's pretty safe for me to make changes in thesetables.Can i rename an object name for example an Index name, a Stored Procedurename?Can i add a new column in the syscolumns table for a user table?Thank you

Sep 13, 2006To ensure I don't leave orphans floating around in tables when records get deleted (values from one record might link to values in another) how do I find and possibly replace values in tables?For example, if I have a unit of measure table and want to delete the value "inches", how do I look in other tables to find this value and give the user the option to cancel or clear it out. If I don't it will cause controls bound to that value like the dropdownlist to throw an error.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSql String Find With &&
Jun 22, 2007I have a visual studio 2005 app that has to match strings to something in a database.
It works wonderfully until a string shows up with an & in it (so "this & that")
The app wont find anything even though it should, the same query that is made in VS works just fine in enterprise manager
I tried a replace on the & with the chr(), hex, and html reference for & and none of those work.
We tried using different methods in VS to do the sql statement and commands.
The statement surrounds the string with single quotes.
If we take the & out, everything works fine.
Turned off request valadation just in case.
Any ideas?????

Duplicated Key.. How Can I Find This Key?
Jun 5, 2001Hi, All
I have a problem with one table.
This table is corrupted so I drop the table and recreate the table..(Of course I export data) After that I try to put the primary key to new table but it won't allow me to do it. Error message says " There are duplicated key existed" Therefore I open up the EM and take a look at that table. There is key in that table but not Primary key..(also from the query analyzer using sp_help)
My question to U is how can I find this duplicated key and delete that info? I think somewhere in the system table contains this info but I don't know where:-(((
Thanks in advance..

Can Not FInd "OOS_MAP"
Apr 30, 1999We have a number of databases on a server running NT 4.0(SP4) and SQL 6.5
(SP 5a). We run Enterprise Manager scheduled dumps of the databases to
disk every night The dumps are spread over the clock from about 1730 to
about 2330. The databases are stable and we regularly run various DBCC
maintenence routines on them. We have been doing these dumps for a long
time without problems. For the last two weeks we have been getting the
following message in the SQL error log:
"[date & time] kernel DPDB_MAP: unable to find the OOS_MAP for page xxxx"
This is followed by an AV and stack dump of whatever dump happens to be
running. This occurs at different times, and we can find no pattern or
abnormality in the error logs or the event logs. So far, Microsoft has not
been able to provide any information about this phenomenon. Can anyone
help? What is the "OOS_MAP" and how do we fix this ?
