Swap Column Position
Jul 20, 2005What is a good method/mechanism to swap the position of multiplecolumns?For instance, tblXZY has the followings columns and respectivepositions:tblXZY======xyzUUID 1fn 2ln 3phone 4email 5city 6state 7....Now, I need to make city as 2 and state as 3. BTW, the tblXYZ tablehas data there. Copy/select all the data into a new table withdesired column position would require constraints re-mapping etc.,which seems quite a bit hassle.Thanks.

View 1 Replies View RelatedTSQL Change The Position Of A Column?
Dec 16, 2004We have a little app to help us move applications from developent --> stage --> production. It uploads the files, runs the new stored procedures etc.
One of the things it does is create new columns in existing tables. In EM you can create a new column in any position, but ALTER TABLE seems to only add columns to the end of the table. Is there a way in TSQL to create columns in arbitrary positions in the table? Or do I have to recreate the whole table?

Transact SQL :: Select Column By Ordinal Position
Apr 16, 2012Is there any way to select columns by ordinal position rather than by name?
Something like
Select t.[1] as col1, t.[2] as col2
FROM table t
The question comes because of a very specific situation where I've got 2 databases that have exactly the same schema at a column/datatype level but the column names are different. There are a few other ways to skin the cat but I'm interested if it can be done this way - without a join to syscolumns.

Getting Data Based On Ordinal Position Of The Column In The Table
Aug 30, 2007Hi
I am having a problem in auditing the column data in tables.My requirement is i have write a trigger which is capable of auditing the columns which are going to be added in the future also with out using dynamic SQL.is there any way to do so.
I feel if i can get the column data based on ordinal position then it is possible.
Can any body suggest.
My set Up is like this
I have a base_table to be audited.
I have a Audit_spec table which contains name of the table and columns to be audited.
And Audit table which actually captures the table name,column name ,old value and new value.
I have to audit only those columns in the Audit_spec spec.
If schema changes(Like new column added) happens to base_table and I want that column to be audited.with out any changes to my trigger code i should handle the newly added column ..

alter table foo add column bar integer not null default 0 after baz
ALTER TABLE foo ADD COLUMN bar integer NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 AFTER baz

Find Out What Tables Contain A Specific Column
Jul 28, 2006I want to write SQL that will search the tables in a database for a specific column, like this. For instance, I have a column "Unique_ID" that is in many of our tables (hundreds) but not in others and want to find out the tables it is in. It is always the first column.
I tried to find a system stored procdure to do this but couldn't and tried to create a script using the sysobjects and syscolumns tables in the Master db, but came to a roadblock because they don't seem to be related at all.
I would surely appreciate if someone else has already done this!

How Can Update Specific Column In Existing Table
Feb 4, 2006I am building a data warehouse. I have many columns I want to populate in a fact table using integration services. Sample fields are: companyID, companyName, companyNumberOfAccounts, company, NumberOfUsers.
In the integration services package, I would like to keep this fact table in place and populated with data and to build integration services packages that update each of the existing row's specific columns (e.g. companyNameOfAccounts) one by one. For example, I have a source of data that has companyID and companyNumberOfAccounts data.
Is it possible to use the SQL Server Destination or OLE DB Destination Integration Services elements to import companyID and companyNumberOfAccounts data so that existing records just have their companyNumberOfAccounts column updated?
Updating Specific Columns If That Column Is Equal To A Value In One Query?
Dec 8, 2006I want to set a column to 0 if it is set to a certain number. There are several columns to check though, so I am wondering if I can do it all in one query, or if I have to do it in single queries?
here is an example:
account | contact_id_1 | contact_id_2 | contact_id_3
433 | 67 | 23 | 67
so I want to set any contact_id_N = 0 where contact_id_N is = 67
so in the end, the table will look like this:
account | contact_id_1 | contact_id_2 | contact_id_3
433 | 0 | 23 | 0
is there a way to do it in one statement?
