This procedure will work if @Tablename is replaced by a literal.
It all works except the last line when the variable @TableName is passed
How can I pass a variable @Tablename and get the last line to work?
CREATE PROCEDURE spDropTable
@TableName char(50)
as
if exists( select * from sysobjects where id = object_id(@TableName))
select "Table Exists "= @TableName
drop table @TableName
I am writing a procedure to drop a specific user's schema only. I select all his/her table name and foreign key in a temp table first and then use a cursor to get the table name and foreign key, and begin drop foreign keys and drop table. However, sql think it is wrong with the syntax like "alter @table_name". Does anyone have a clue, what is wrong with my syntax. Or someone know how to drop one specific user's schema only (Other user may have same table in the database, and you don't want to drop that.

I am trying to debug a t-SQL function. I am supposed to have both Enterprise Manager for SQL 2000, and Management Studio for SQL 2005, on my computer. In the books-online for SQL 2000 there is a reference to a T-SQL debugger which does all the things that you'd expect: checkpoints, ablility to stop and examine data, etc. I don't seem to have books-online for SQL 2005 - I merely get "help on Help" which is rather useless.Anyway, how do I get this debugger to work? I can't find anything in either Enterprise Manager or Management Studip.Thanks, Robert Barnes

View 2 Replies View Related Hi,
I am not comfortable with DTS 2000 but I need to execute a encapsulated DTS 2000 package from a SSIS package. The real problem is when I need to pass SSIS variables to DTS 2000 package. The DTS 2000 package have 3 global variables that I can identify on " Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor - Inner Variables ". I believe the SSIS variables must be mapped on " Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor - OuterVariables ". How can I associate the SSIS variables(OuterVariables ) to "Inner Variables"? How can I do it? Much Thanks.

Hi,
I would like to design a SSIS package, which have couple of variables. It loads a xls file specified in a variable [varExcelFileFullPath] .
I will run it by commands: exec xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /SQL ....' (pls see an example below).
It seems it does not get the values passed in for those variables. I deployed the package to a sql server.
are there any grammar errors here? I copied it from dtexecui. It worked inside Dtexecui not in dos command.
exec xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /SQL "LoadExcelDB" /SERVER test /USER *** /PASSWORD ****
/MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING EW
/LOGGER "{6AA833A1-E4B2-4431-831B-DE695049DC61}";"Test.SuperBowl"
/Set Package.Variables[User::varExcelFileName].Properties[Value];"TestAdHocLayer"
/Set Package.Variables[User::varExcelWorkbookName].Value;"Sheet1$"
/Set Package.Variables[User::varExcelFileFullPath].Value;"D: estshareTestAdHocLayer.xls"
/Set Package.Variables[User::varDestinationTableName].Value;"FeaturesTmp"

Hi folks.
Here i have small problem in transactions.I don't know how it is happaning.
Up to my knowldge if you start a transaction in side the transaction if you have DML statements
Those statements only will be effected by rollback or commit but in MS SQL SERVER 7.0 and 6.5
It is rolling back all the commands including DDL witch it shouldn't please let me know on that
If any one can help this please tell me ...........Please............
For Example
begin transaction t1
create table t1
drop table t2
then execute bellow statements
select * from t1
this query gives you table with out data
select * from t2
you will recieve an error that there is no object
but if you rollback
T1 willn't be there in the database
droped table t2 will come back please explain how it can happand.....................

Hi,
I have an sql script, which updates some values by using BIT operations..
ex:
UPDATE table1
SET myValue = myValue & ~mask | (availability - mask)...
Problem is, this returns a value, when written to binary, it's one bit too long!
ex:
0
1
1
1
1
1
(= 62)
which should be:
0
1
1
1
1
0
(=31)
How can I "drop" this last BIT?
(Keep in mind that I store these values as LONGINT's)...
Been fighting with this one all day..
Hi folks,
Wonder if I'm onto something....everything I've read says that to drop foreign key constraints, you have to drop/recreate the table.
I've been able to dynamically create the ALTER TABLE statements for all FK constraints in a database. The way I did was a little convoluted (Access 97 linked tables and pass-through queries, cut/paste from the debug window to SQL7 QA), but it does work. More importantly, it saves the hassle of dropping/recreating tables....Someone with more expertise than I in using nested cursors could probably convert it to pure T-SQL pretty easily.
Just curious...opinions? Be glad to post the code here if that's appropriate.

I am managing 120 gb SQL7 database. The 120 GB is in a RAID5 (Hardware RAID). At begining, I think I should create a user defined filegroup besides Primary filegroup, as BOL suggested.
After I read some discussions here, It appears I cannot gain any performance by adding second filegroups. Now I want to drop the filegroup I created. The Question is How?. If I do alter database, move all files from userdefined filegroup, does this mean my userdefined filegroup has gone?
Someone can help me on this!
Thanks a lot.
I am trying to drop the database through the application designed using vb.net. Through login form i am logging into the database from the application. There is an option for the user to take the backup and restore the database using the application. I am able to take the backup of the database. To restore the database, i am dropping the existing database. I am unable to drop the database as an error message is being displayed saying that "Cannot drop the database, as it is currently in use". I tried to drop the database even by changing the database names in the connection string.
But i am unable to drop the database. If any one finds the solution for this please help me. Its very urgent.

Hello, I have hit the wall here...can't make sense of this one.
I have a script that creates a PRIMARY KEY constraint called PK_tblDRG
CODE:
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[tblDRG]
ALTER COLUMN [record_id] Uniqueidentifier NOT NULL
Go
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[tblDRG]
WITH NOCHECK ADD PK_tblDRG PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[record_id]
) WITH FILLFACTOR = 90 ON [PRIMARY]
All is fine with that. I run this to verify:
EXEC sp_pkeys @table_name = 'tblDRG'
,@table_owner = 'dbo' ,@table_qualifier = 'Relational_05Q3'
which returns this:
TABLE_QUALIFIERTABLE_OWNERTABLE_NAMECOLUMN_NAMEKEY_SEQPK_NAME
Relational_05Q3dbotblDRGrecord_id1PK_tblDRG
Now I want to drop the constriant if it exists:
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[PK__tblDRG]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsPrimaryKey') = 1)
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[tblDRG] DROP CONSTRAINT PK__tblDRG
AND I get this in return:
The command(s) completed successfully.
So, lets double check:
EXEC sp_pkeys @table_name = 'tblDRG'
,@table_owner = 'dbo' ,@table_qualifier = 'Relational_05Q3'
AND I STILL GET THIS:
TABLE_QUALIFIERTABLE_OWNERTABLE_NAMECOLUMN_NAMEKEY_SEQPK_NAME
Relational_05Q3dbotblDRGrecord_id1PK_tblDRG
Hmmmmm. Looks like the IF statement didn't do it's job. Ok fine. I'll just kill it myself:
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[tblDRG] DROP CONSTRAINT PK__tblDRG
AND I GET THIS?!?!?!?!
Server: Msg 3728, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
'PK__tblDRG' is not a constraint.
What am I not getting here? Is it me...I can take If I am a bone head here.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
I am using SQL Server 2005, trying to drag and drop a sql-query but it is not possible. This was possible before, what might be the cause?
Now, I have to open file, browse to the query and then it works but that is very time consuming. Would appreciate any suggestion.
Here is my code,
1. create table t1 (id int )
2. create unique index u on t1(id)
3. create table t2 (id int constraint f foreign key references t1(id))
4. ALTER TABLE t2 NOCHECK CONSTRAINT ALL
5. ALTER TABLE t1 NOCHECK CONSTRAINT ALL
6. drop index t1.u
I get a FK voilation exception. on line 6.
I was not expecting this, because I am doing 4 & 5
Is dropping the FK is only option?
Actually I am trying to move the unique index to a different file group.

I need to use T-SQL to drop all instances of a particular object, no matter who the owner is. For example I might have two instances of a view named "test_view". One is owned by "dbo" and one is owned by "randomly_named_user". I do not know what the name of the owner of the second instance of the view, nor do I know how man instances of the view may exist. I need to drop all the views with the name "test_view".
Is there a way with T-SQL to drop all the instances of an object no matter who owns it? I understand I will need proper permissions to drop an object owned by someone else.
