How To Change Column Names In The Grid View Programatically?

Aug 31, 2007

I have consistent column names that load into a grid view. I now need to change the names in the grid view programatically. I was originally trying to get cute with SQL to do this, but I've been told my below solution will not work and I'm better off to do this in the presentation layer.  If this is true, remember I'm still wet behind the ears here...how do I do this in vs2005?
Here's my post to the SQL devs to give you an idea what I'm trying to do.
I have a query that grabs fields from a denormalized table. The result is column names Week1, Week2, Week3....Week26.  Users want to see the actual date instead of Week#. So I have a table (lkpdatecaptions ) that contains the fields "fldfieldno" and "Fldcaption". fldfieldno    Fldcaption-----------  --------------11             9/07/200712             9/14/200713            9/21/2007So fieldno 11 represent week1 and so on. So my hope is to update the alias with a query like: Select fldcaption from forecast.tlkpdatecaptionswhere fldfieldno = 11That quey returns the value of 9/7/2007 and is the value I need to represent the coumn alias name.My current query looks like this:SELECT  SUM(forecast.tblforecastdenormalized.fldwk01) AS WEEK1,So can I do something like the following?SELECT  SUM(forecast.tblforecastdenormalized.fldwk01) AS (Select forecast.tlkpdatecaptions.fldcaption from forecast.tlkpdatecaptions where fldfieldno = 11), ...

SQL Question: Change Column Names Of Temp Table In SP

Apr 21, 2004

Hi,
I have a SP which returns a select query on a temp table so I get to choose column names
when I create the #table.

Can I determine column names myself based on the results of another query (in the SP)
before, or (preferably) after I create the #table and populate it.

My query is used to bind to a datagrid so I could use....

dataGrid.Columns[index].HeaderText and set it to a particular output parameter, but I want
to keep the code in the SQL.

Cheers

Change Result Names Besides CASE?

Aug 13, 2012

Example:

Select StoreId from tblStores
S1
S2
S3
S4

I want to display a more friendly name. I have been using a case statement:

select case
WHEN storeId = 'S1' THEN 'NY Store'
WHEN storeId = 'S2' THEN 'CA Store'
...
end AS StoreName

If I am doing a simple 1:1 mapping like that, is there a better way than using a case statement (without creating/modifying tables)?

Analysis :: How To Change The Member Names Of Time Dimension

Oct 19, 2015

<SQL Server 2008 R2>

I created a Time table using BIS. I found that the default naming of time members is too long and redundant.

For example, the wizard generated "Fiscal Calendar 2015", "Fiscal Quarter 1, 2015", etc. However, shorter expression like "FY2015", "FQ1 2015", etc would be enough for me. 

Is it possible to change the default naming rule, or does SSAS works correctly if I update the Time table values using SQL?

Column Names

Dec 27, 2005

At my work, we are upgrading a number of MS Access 2000 databases to SQL Server 2000. Many of the columns have names that do not follow the rules for Identifiers. For example there are columns with a numeric names 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. There are also columns with a hyphen in the name and columns that begin with a number and not an underscore or an alpha character. Plus there are columns with names like first, last, position, etc. (There was also columns with reserved words used as the names. I have changed those column names in the databases that I have already converted) Will leaving these names alone create a problem? The database serves as the backend to ASP pages.

Dynamic Column Names In A SP

Jan 1, 2008

Hello,I'm still extremely novice to SQL and I've tried googling how to produce this result but I've been encountering a lot dynamic sql commands which isn't exactly what I want. If this is an ignorant question I do apologize but heres my scenario: I have a table with columns of the day, for instance: Monday_hasData (bit)Monday_DataAnd what I want to do is essentially pass in "Monday" as a parameter and rather than doing an If statement on each row, I would like to just like to do something like assign @dayCheck + "_hasData" to a variable and then use @dayCheck as part of my query.  Is this possible or am I going to have to have 7 cases? Thank you for any input,Chance

How To Get Column Names Which Are Not Null

Jul 12, 2002

Hi,
I have a table in which out of 20 columns, there will be data only in a few columns. So, I need to find those column names which have data in them. I was able to do it using the information_schema and using a cursor to loop through all the column names and find out which columns have data in them. But i need to know if there is a more efficient way of doing this without using the cursor. Can somebody please let me know how this can be done without using a cursor? Thank you.

Get Column Names From All Tables In A Db

Mar 7, 2005

Is there a way that you could get the column names for each table in a database using 1 query?
something like:
tbl colname
t1 catID
t1 catName
t2 prodID
t2 prodDesc
t3 cartID
...
...

I know it would be long, but I would just be searching through the saved output for specific names.

Get Column Names From Table

Nov 15, 2005

Hi All,

I was wondering how would I get the column names from a table? Not the results just a listing of column names. What is the command to get this information? I am using MS Access, but I posted here because MS SQL is the closest thing on this forum and the syntax is usually similar.

Thanks a bunch.

SQL Keywords As Column Names

Oct 13, 2005

SQL server throws an exception when I try to run the following code:

ALTER TABLE contacts ADD default ntext NULL;

The reason for that is that "default" is an SQL keyword.

The way I handle this now is I put an underscore at the front:

ALTER TABLE contacts ADD _default ntext NULL


Is there a cleaner way to handle this, i.e. to keep the column name "default" and forse sql server to create a column with this name?

Thank you!

Variable Column Names

Mar 15, 2004

I am writing a stored procedure in which I have a query that selects the Headings of Columns from another table...
I want to then create a loop that will contain a variable with the value of the column heading and then set the column to a value of NULL...

Is there any way to accomplish this???

I thought about placing these values into a temp table...

This is what I have so far...

Declare @QueryX nvarchar(500)
Declare @FieldName varchar(20)

Create Table #UpdateRejDoc
(
Abbreviation varchar(20)
)
Insert into #UpdateRejDoc
Select Abbreviation
From tbl_Titles
left JOIN tbl_TitleRouting on tbl_Titles.Title_ID = tbl_TitleRouting.Title_ID
Where tbl_TitleRouting.Application_ID = @Application_ID
While Exists (Select Abbreviation from #UpdateRejDoc)
Begin

Set @QueryX = 'Update DBLandfillUser.tbl_ObjectApprovals' +
'@AppName + Set @FieldName = null Where object_id =' + Cast(@object_id as VarChar(20))
End

Caching Column Names

Apr 22, 2008

Hi All,
Heres my problem...
If I create a table T1 with a couple of columns; MyPKCol, ColA
I then create a view V1 as "Select * From T1"
At this stage, if I run "Select * From V1" the result will, as expected, include following columns:
MyPKCol,ColA

If I now add another column, ColB, to T1 and then again run "Select * From V1", I still get the result with only 2 columns;
MyPKCol,ColA

In order for V1 to return MyPKCol,ColA,ColB I have to drop V1 and then recreate it again.

Can someone explain why this is and how I can clear this type of cache?
I've tried the following commands, but it didn't work:
DBCC FREEPROCCACHE;
DBCC FREEsystemCACHE( 'ALL' );
DBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERS;

There has to be an easier way than having to recreate SPs, Function and Views just because you make a change to a table.

I hope I made sence
Thank you in advance for any help.

Replacing Some Names In Column But Not All

Dec 2, 2013

I have a SQL table with 5000 rows in it. Some of the other SQL columns have different values but if I wanted to swap say 500 of the rows would it be something like

UPDATE Coupins
SET Name='test1,test2,test3'
WHERE Name='test4,test5,test6';

I need basically to swap the Name value of these without affecting any other values.
