We have very big table names in our database like T_SALES_INDIA_TEST_EMPLOYEE_DETAILS .
instead of retriving the complete table name i would like to comment the table name as employye Details and use it for display purpose on user interfaces.
So that when i retrive the list of tables from information_schema.tables.I would like to retrive the comment which i have given instead of the table name.
Is it possible ?
We will be moving 2 different databases (SS2005 & SS2008) to a new SS2014 SQL Server. Currently our codes looks something like Server1DBInstance1... & Server2DBInstance2... Is it possible to move the objects from these 2 instances to Server3DBInstance3 and then use an alias to reference the objects? Or does Server3 need to have DBInstance1 & DBIstance2? Basically, is the alias just for the database or for the instance too? Can I create an alias "Server1DBInstance1' on Server3DBInstance3 and assign objects to that alias?

I have query related to using of Alias names for the Tables in SQL query, will the performance of the query affected if we use Alias name for tables in joins. considering the fact that there was no need to use alias name in those joins.
Your response is highly appreciated.

Hi,
I have a problem which i need to get the NewDate which the NewDate is Generated thru Computation of DateDiff
Here's my Statement
SELECT DISTINCT
RBUCode, DCO, Prov, District, DATEDIFF(mi, ReportedDate + ' ' + ReportedTime, CompletedDate + ' ' + CompletedTime) / 60 AS NewDate
FROM PostedFaultTable
WHERE (DCO = 'La Union')
I need to get the Less than 5 Hrs of the NewDate
I tried This but it's not working
RBUCode, DCO, Prov, District, DATEDIFF(mi, ReportedDate + ' ' + ReportedTime, CompletedDate + ' ' + CompletedTime) / 60 AS NewDate

Is table alias using in a query only for Readablity?

Hi all,I am doing the change from having worked in Oracle for a long time toMS SQL server and am frustrated with a couple of simple SQL stmt's. Orat least they have always been easy.The SQL is pretty straightforward. I am updating a field with a Maxeffective dated row criteria. (PepopleSoft app)update PS_JOB as A set BAS_GROUP_ID = ' 'where EMPL_STATUS in ('D', 'L', 'R', 'S', 'T')and EFFDT = (select max(EFFDT) from PS_JOB where EMPLID = A.EMPLID)This stmt is not working. I am getting an error on the keyword 'as'. Ihave tried:update PS_JOB A set...update PS_JOB from PS_JOB A set...Same result, error on 'A' or error on 'from'.I also tried to add the table alias to the sub query, whichtechnically worked, but with wrong data result.So my question comes down to: How do I use a table alias in an updatestatement in MS SQL server?I worked around this by creating a temp table. But that does notfulfill my curiosity, nor is it an ideal solution.Thanks a lot,-OK

Hi Guys,
I have a program that connects to SQLServer 2000 through ADO connection.
the program executes the following query:
SELECT ax.AccNo,
(SELECT Accounts.ProductCode FROM Accounts WHERE h.ID=Accounts.ID) As Product
FROM dbo.History h LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.AccXRef ax ON h.ID= ax.ID LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.States ON h.[HistoryItemsub-Type] = dbo.States.Type LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.CustXRef cx ON h.CustomerNo = cx.CustomerNo
WHERE HistoryItemDate <= getdate() ORDER BY HistoryItemDate ASC
This query works in th program and in Query Analyer on my machine.
However, On a different Machine (and different SQLServer) the query works in Query Analyser but does not work in the program, the following exception is thrown:
The column prefix 'h' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query
Any help is greatly appreciated..
thanx in-advance,

I have some stored procedures that do updates using table aliases, like this:
UPDATE TableAlias
SET ColVal = 1
FROM RealTable AS TableAlias
WHERE TableAlias.ColVal <> 1
This allows me to include joins and stuff in the update (not shown) and make it all more readable for me.
It all works fine, and the SSMS parser says it's fine. But I also have another script which looks at sys.sql_expression_dependencies and sys.objects to find stored procedures with invalid object references (see below), and it's understandably saying that all of the above type stored procedures have invalid references.
SELECT
OBJECT_NAME(DEP.referencing_id) AS referencing_name,
DEP.referenced_entity_name
FROM sys.sql_expression_dependencies AS DEP
WHERE
-- Only validate local references:
(
DEP.referenced_database_name = DB_NAME()
[Code] ....
So I have a couple questions.
1. Is the UPDATE syntax I'm using kosher?
2. Can you recommend any updates to my stored procedure validation script that will better accommodate table aliases like mine?

I have data in a table (@Outer) that I am matching to a lookup table (@Inner) which contains multiple "matches" where nulls can match any value. By sorting the inner table and grabbing the top record, I find the "best" match.

(
SELECT TOP 1 I.*

WHERE IsNull(I.MethodID, OJ.MethodID) = OJ.MethodID

AND OJ.CompID = IsNull(IJ.CompID, OJ.CompID)

The result should be OuterID 1 matched to Inner ID 3 and OuterID 2 matched to Inner ID 5.

We have an alias for dbo in various code areas, development/test/production. It was easy to tell the DBO alias
on release 6.5 but now on 7.0, the only way I can figure out if the userid is aliased to dbo is to sign on as the userid
and query 'select user_name( )' and if it returns dbo, I have the answer. Is there an easier way to do this by looking in a
system catalog or is there something else I am missing? Thanks in advance. Karen Suenram
In 6.5 you could alias someone as dbo, thus preventing an ownership chain break. In 7.0 there are roles, one of which is db_owner. I gave a user db_owner role, and they created a table. But no one else can see it? And he is listed as the owner in EM. How do I more effectivly mimic the dbo alias available in 6.5?

Hi All,
I've just installed an active/active sql cluster. Both are named instance hence if i need to connect to it, I need to use NODE1SQLINST1 and NODE2SQLINST2. Is there a way to just use NODE1 or any other single name to connect to the sql instance? I was looking at Alias but I can't get it working. Anyone has any ideas or suggestion for me? Reason why i want to do this is in an odbc connection, instead of using NODE1SQLINST1, I can use NODE1.
Thanks

Hi,
In my database one user is aliased like a guest. When i run sp_helpuser on the particular database it is giving following result.
username login name database
-------- ----------- --------
aaaa NULL XYZ
NOrmally we fill see like this for GUEST User. Now i want to drop this user 'aaaa' only. IF i use
sp_dropuser 'null'
i think guest user will also drop from XYZ database.
So can anyone pls suggest me how to drop this user. I have to add a same user with full permissions. i know in 65 we have sysalternates table gives all alias information. Is there any table gives the same information in sql7.
Pls suggest me regarding this.
thank u

I am just getting started with SQL Sever 7.0, most things are must easier and simpler.
I do have one mind set problem
With SQL 6.5 I created a logon(JAWS) , aliased the developers to the logon(JAWS)
and all the tables and other objects were owned by ((JAWS). The developers would then grant
access to the tables. And the users would open JAWS.tablename.
In the SQL 7.0 test are I take an NT group that have the devlopers in them and allow SQL SErver
logon for that group. Then I allow the group access to the database and give the group
database roles of db_owner, db_ddladmin, db_datareader and db_datawriter.
The developers can create objects but the objects are not owned by the role but are
owned by the indivudual NT accounts that are in the NT group.
Any hint of what to change to have the ownership show up as the NT group??
Can we do
Select BookNo as Catalog from Books
where Catalog = 12356
I need to find the way to use alias in "where" for very complex query

In SQLServer I can't change my SQL column name.
But I need to see another field name in query tool (Excel)
How can I do that (alias..., description ?
Thanks
Hello everyone.
I was wondering if there is a way that you can set the alias name of a column to a value that resides in another table instead of the alias being a static value that you type in.
If anyone has any ideas on ho i can accomplish this i would greatly appreciate it.
Is there any way in SQLServer (2000) to setup an alias to another SQLServer database?
What I want/need to do is this:
.i have a database for each project but many of the tables schemas/triggers/stored procedures/etc. are common so what I want to do is run one set scripts. I want to essentially set up a project structure so that all specific app databases also include some core stuff.
.for example, consider a Users table (simple example). For two applications we have exactly the same users structure, sprocs, triggers, etc. but we have physically different data. I just want to run the same ddl.
.but the users table has a log associated with it in an associated log database. The trigger (and some historical queries) refer to the explicit log database (App1Log.Users, for example).
.what i'm figuring is that if i could set up an alias to the log database and have the sql code refer to that I'd be able to reuse all the code very neatly:
set logDBAlias = 'App1Log'
insert into logDBAlias.Users etc....
.trouble is I cannot figure out how to alias the log database!
Any ideas?
Thank you.

how to add a alias to a server?
I have gone through BOL where it says it can be done thru right click agent -->> connections and configure alias.
i want to know if i configure a alias to a server from a client is it valid for other connections also?
meaning there are two database servers A and B
i add alias to server A by using client network utilities on server B,
then is this alias available if i try to connect to the server A thro some other server c?
hope this is not that confusing as it sounds. ;)
Hi all,
I have a small argument with friend here regarding use of alias names for tables will affect the performance of the query in case of a large database. Please provide your thoughts on the same.
Necessity is the mother of all inventions!
I'm trying to learn how to make and use aliases for two tables in inthis update statement:ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.UpdateStatusAS UPDATE dbo.npfieldsSET Status = N'DROPPED'FROM dbo.npfields NPF, dbo.importparsed IMPLEFT JOIN IMPON (NPF.pkey = IMP.pkey)WHERE (IMP.pkey IS NULL) AND((NPF.Status = N'ERR1') OR (NPF.Status = N'ERR2') OR (NPF.Status =N'ERR3'))I thought I could define the aliases in the FROM statement.I'm using Access as a front end to SQL server if that makes adifference in the queries.
