One of our Oracle Tables changed and I am wondering if there's any way that I can query all of our Stored Procedures to try and find out if that Oracle Table Name is referenced in any of our SQL Server Stored Procedures OPENQUERY statements?

I am trying to take a value from at textbox and insert into a database. I think I need to convert the text to an integer - but I keep getting an error message saying I'm not allowed to use column names. Basically, I need to figure out how to take user input from these tet boxes and insert them into a database.

Hello guys,
I would like to delete a row in a table, but I get the following message :
The DELETE statement conflicted with the REFERENCE constraint "FK_cs_Users". The conflict occurred in database "mytable", table "dbo.cs_UserProfile", column 'UserID'.
The statement has been terminated.
(0.701 sec)
But I did this :
alter table cs_Users disable trigger ALL
delete
from cs_Users
where MembershipID = 'xxx'
Thank you very much for any help to get this work !

View 1 Replies View RelatedHello All, i have 2 files in excel which i am uploading them to a folder which is located in the root directory. then i am importing these two files into a sqldatabase. i needed some help in importing them and i got it from my previous post at http://forums.asp.net/t/1261155.aspx but now i have a problem. the import works perfectly first time but when i do it the second time i am getting an error on of the file (header). to explain clearly, what i am doing is , every time i upload a new file , i am deleting the data from the tables, so the new data can be inserted ( basically trying to achieve overwirting the existing data). now this technique works fine with the Detail table but not with the Header table. i think the reason is the header table has a primary key on OrderID and a relationship does exists between the Header and Detail. now how would i overcome this error. can some one please guide me.

Hi guys,
I need to use a SQL statement to lookup a value from a SQL server database table that relates to a column in my dataflow.
Imagine a SQL database table called 'cars' with values of
Year | Description
2005 Ferrari 355
2005 Ferrari 355 Spider
2006 Ferrari 355 F1
In my data flow I have Year and Model eg.
Year | Model
2005 355
2006 355
In my SQL statement I want to select from the 'cars' table where the years match exactly but the 'description' is like the 'Model'. eg. %355%
So essentially, how do I construct the 'like' clause in the select statement to reference the 'Model' column please?
thanks for your help,
Chris
Hi,
On my aspx Web page, I want to delete a member from database table 'tblMember', but if this MemberID is used as FK in another table, I want to display a user friendlier message like "You cannot delete this member, ....." I am using Try, Catch blocks in my Web Page.
Currently it display this message:
"DELETE statement conflicted with COLUMN REFERENCE constraint 'FK_..._....' The conflict occurred in database '...', table 'tblMembers', column 'MemberID'. The statement has been terminated. "
So how should I precisely trap this error? Does anybody know what Exception is it? or what error number in SQL server?
Thanks
I have a requirement of table partitioning. we have 10 years of data on a table which is 30 billion up rows on 2005 server we are upgrading it to 2014. we have to keep 7 years of data. there is no keys on table or date column. since its a huge amount of data and many users its slow down the process speed. we are thinking to do partition on 7 years for Quarterly based. but as i said there is no date column on table we have to use reference table to get date. is there a way i can do the partitioning with out adding date column on table? also does partition will make query faster?
I have think three ways to do it.
1. leave as it is.
2. 7 years partition on one server
3. 3 years partition on server1 and 4 years partition on server2 (for 4 years is snapshot better?)
Hello,I have a query that I need help with.there are two tables...Product- ProductId- Property1- Property2- Property3PropertyType- PropertyTypeId- PropertyTypeThere many columns in (Product) that reverence 1 lookup table (PropertyType)In the table Product, the columns Property1, Property2, Property3 all contain a numerical value that references PropertyType.PropertyTypeIdHow do I select a Product so I get all rows from Product and also the PropertyType that corresponds to the Product.Property1, Product.Property2, and Product.Property3ProductId | Property1 | Property2 | Property3 | PropertyType1 | PropertyType2 | PropertyType3 PropertyType(1) = PropertyType for Property1PropertyType(2) = PropertyType for Property2PropertyType(3) = PropertyType for Property3I hope this makes sence.Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone !
Given a UDT, is there any way to get a reference to the table where the specific instance is running ?
IE: Let's suppose we have defined a UDT named UDTPoint; now we define two tables: ATable & BTable, wich both have one column that is defined as UDTPoint.
When an insert/update/delete operation on ATable or BTable occurs, the UDTPoint class needs to verify in which context it is running (ATable or BTable) before doing operations on data.
Is there any way to achieve that ?
Thanks

The table above is my users table. It allows for a user to be at multiple sites or multiple locations within a single site or multiple sites. Would it be wise to use a auto incrementing primary key instead of the 3 column composite key? The reason I ask is because if I am referencing this SU table (which I will be a lot), a lot more data would be replicated to the tables which have the foreign key to this table, right? But if I used a single incrementing column as the primary key, only a small integer would be used as the foreign key, saving space?Does this make sense?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 2 databases in sql server. let us say database1 = db1 and database2 = db2
Now both the databases have a same table called table1 with the same fields.
IF data in db1.table1 is updated then data in db2.table2 should be updated automatically.
There are many ways we can do this. one way is to create a INSERT trigger on db1.table1.
But i would like to avoid trigger
Is there something in SQL server where I can just link table1 of db1 to db2 and delete the table1 in db2. That means db2 is using the same table that of db1.
Thanks
Hi all,
I am new to this site and I hope anyone out there can help me. I was tasked to change the constraints of my existing table. Lets call it table1. This table has an attribute that needs to take the value of another attribute of another table ( let's call it tables2) and that attribute must satisfy a certain expression ( I suppose I can isolate it by using the select statement ).
Anyone know how to get this done.
Please advice.
Thanks and appreciated.
Hello everyone,
this would be my first posting.
I would like to know if it's possible in MS SQL to redirect a table into another DB instance? I have no access into the source code and I have been wondering if it is possible to make a redirection/hard link in MS SQL side.
I would have a table in my base DB and when a query is made into this table, the MS SQL would redirect it to another DB or table. Is this possible in MS SQL ? Something along the lines of a hard-link in linux.
Thank you very much.

2. I've use this store procedure for many cross reference successfully. But this time my cross reference value (resultcode) is a varchar which cannot be convert to int or decimal in sql, Probably, you've noticed that the fourth parameter is a function. how can i modify SimpleXtab to avoid using math function but still can generate cross reference.
exec simplextab2 'Sequence','##tbltempreport',' ','sum','resultcode','Parameter' ,'dbo.resultcodetable'
Many Thanks!
I need to write a query that requires respective fields referencing from multiple tables.
For example, here are the tables:
Main Table:
InfoID Team1 Player1 Team1
Table: Player_ref
Player Team_Player_ref Player1 John doh
Table: Team_ref
Team Team_Player_ref Team1 My Team
Ideal result Table from query:
InfoID Count John Doh 1 My Team 2
Any suggestion to creat the Ideal Results table from query?
Normally, I could do it if it only referenced from 1 table, I would do an inner join, however, since there are 2 referenece table, doing inner join wouldn't work. A proposed suggestion would certainly be nice. Thanks in advance.

The script below can be used to determine the reference levels of all tables in a database in order to be able to create a script to load tables in the correct order to prevent Foreign Key violations.
This script returns 3 result sets. The first shows the tables in order by level and table name. The second shows tables and tables that reference it in order by table and referencing table. The third shows tables and tables it references in order by table and referenced table.
Tables at level 0 have no related tables, except self-references. Tables at level 1 reference no other table, but are referenced by other tables. Tables at levels 2 and above are tables which reference lower level tables and may be referenced by higher levels. Tables with a level of NULL may indicate a circular reference (example: TableA references TableB and TableB references TableA).
Tables at levels 0 and 1 can be loaded first without FK violations, and then the tables at higher levels can be loaded in order by level from lower to higher to prevent FK violations. All tables at the same level can be loaded at the same time without FK violations.
Tested on SQL 2000 only. Please post any errors found.
Edit 2006/10/10:
Fixed bug with tables that have multiple references, and moved tables that have only self-references to level 1 from level 0.
-- Start of Script - Find_Table_Reference_Levels.sql
/*
Find Table Reference Levels
This script finds table references and ranks them by level in order
to be able to load tables with FK references in the correct order.
Tables can then be loaded one level at a time from lower to higher.
This script also shows all the relationships for each table
by tables it references and by tables that reference it.
Level 0 is tables which have no FK relationships.
Level 1 is tables which reference no other tables, except
themselves, and are only referenced by higher level tables
or themselves.
Levels 2 and above are tables which reference lower levels
and may be referenced by higher levels or themselves.

Hello all,I have two tables - Projects and ProjectStructTable Projects contains master records of the projects, ProjectStructallows to define a project herarchie and contains the fieldsPrjStructId, ProjectId, PrjStructName, ..., ParentIdPrjStructParent contains a reference to the parent or to itselves ifrecord is top-level-record for a project.I try to create a trigger on table Projects (INSERT) whichautomatically creates the top-level-entry in ProjectStruct but Ididn't succed.Tried to use (several variations similar to)INSERT INTO ProjectStruct (ProjectId, PrjStructName, ParentId)SELECT prjProjectId, 'top-level',IDENT_CURRENT('ProjectStruct'))FROM INSERTEDbut this inserts a reference to the last inserted record. Why thishappens is pretty clear to me, but I found no way to get the referenceto the identity column of the record currently inserted.Is there a way to do this?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI need a table of seasonally adjusted forecasts. Each row contains 52 weekly values to been named as needed (e.g. Week01, Week02, etc.). At any point in the year, I want to be able to determine how many weeks I can cover with the product on hand.
I have not been able to envision a set based, normalized solution given there are nearly a million items to be evaluated daily. If I normalize, I'm faced with 52 million rows. It seems to me I'm better off bringing a wide row containing all 52 week buckets into memory and working with them in a stored procedure. And if that's the best solution, how do I reference these "virtual" buckets? I'm thinking of some kind of While() loop that counts the weeks until the inventory is exhaused but I need a subscript based technique to reference each week.
Any thoughts?
Hi,
I have a common requirement (when I'm processing data rows from an input file) to perform some data manipulation in script then look up a value from a reference table and perform some further data manipulation depending on whether a matching value was found in the lookup table or not.
For example, say I'm processing Customer data rows and the first "word" (/token) of the FullName column might be a title or the title could be missing and it might be a forename or initial instead. I want to check the first word of this FullName column to see if it matches any valid title values in a ReferenceTitles lookup table. If I find a match I want to set my Title column to the value from the ReferenceTitles lookup table, otherwise I want to set it to, say, an empty string. Then I want to process the rest of the FullName column tokens differently depending on whether or not a match was found.
It seems very messy to start coding a script transformation and then
have to use a lookup transformation combined with a script
transformation on the error output followed by a union and a sort
and finally a further script transformation (especially as I would like to be able to use variables from the first script in the later processing)...
So what I'm wondering is: Is there an easy/clean way to perform a database lookup (using cached values) from a script so that I can achieve all the above from within a single script component?
Thanks in advance,
Lawrie
Is it possible to do something like this in SQL:
DECLARE @TABLE table
if @GOOD = 1 BEGIN
Set @Table = Table1
END ELSE BEGIN
Set @Table = OtherTable
END
SELECT * FROM @TABLE
Hi Friends...
In general we cannot delete a table if it refers another table. But in the process of backup and restore, we need to delete all the tables, so we have return an asp.net function...
Dim Datatable As String
Dim ds As New DataSet
ds = gDatabase.ExecuteQuery(" select Table_Name from Information_schema.Tables where Table_type='TABLE'")
If ds.Tables.Count > 0 Then
If ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count > 0 Then
Dim dr As DataRow
Dim da As SqlCeDataAdapter
Dim Cmd As String
For Each dr In ds.Tables(0).Rows
Datatable = dr.Item("Table_name")
Cmd = "Delete from [" & Datatable & "]"
gDatabase.ExecuteNonQuery(Cmd)
Next
End If
End If
we got an error like
"Msg 4712, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot truncate table 'Electricalworks' because it is being referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint.
"
how to override these errors, if we have to delete all the tables. We have about 200 tables.
Several years ago, I am sure that I had a query that either read from or wrote to a text file. There was some way to:
select * into 'c:\out.txt' from SomeTable
Does anyone know if this functionality exists? If so, what is the syntax?
TIA

--If I pass activityId 3 or 2 or 4 it should return 0 as none of the activity is circular but If I pass 5, 6 or 7 it should return 1 as they have circular reference....
I need a sql qry which will require to find a circular reference in it.....
As in above sample of data ,If I pass activityId 3 or 2 or 4 to qry it should return 0 as none of the activity is circular but If I pass 5, 6 or 7 it should return 1 as they have circular reference....
I would like to create a function that will replace a string using a reference table
I have a table : reference
ID String ReplaceWith
1 ≈ &
2 < <
3 > >
If I pass a string into a function, function needs to replace a string with replace with string column in reference table
For example, if I pass a string : car $ap; fjld
The function should return car & fjld
How can i create a function like this so that i can call it in Stored procedure....
Is there anybody familiar with indexed view here?
Can I add a foriegn key on a indexed view to reference other table?
Thanks!
This function will generate all DELETE statements in correct order to perform a CASCADING delete.
For self-joined tables, it will generate the T-SQL code to "unwind" the table, also in correct order!CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fnCascadingDelete

Hi all,
In BOL it says: "The Lookup transformation performs an equi-join between values in the transformation input and values in the reference dataset. Using an equi-join means that each row in the transformation input must match at least one row from the reference dataset. If there is no matching entry in the reference dataset, no join occurs and no values are returned from the reference dataset. This is an error, and the transformation fails, unless it is configured to ignore errors or redirect error rows to the error output. "
I have a lookup transformation which is supposed to find a match on two fields in the reference dataset (a table in my case) but strangely, when I execute my package and the reference table is empty the lookup still finds match for each row of my input dataset.
Does anyone have an idea why? I could'nt find anything about that in BOL.
Sébastien.
