Reserved Words As Column Names
Nov 8, 2007Hi there,
I'm trying to recreate a MS-SQL database in MySQL. One particular table has a column names "Precision", a reserved word in MySQL. I woudl really prefer to keep this name if possible as it will be referenced in all sorts of places. I've tried single and double quotes, that didn't work.
Is it possible to use reserveds word as column names? How?
cheers
Using Reserved Words In Column Names
Jan 8, 2008
Here we go,
I have a great question for all of you.
What is the problem in using reserved words in table columns name? Any one have a compeling reason not to use?
Here is an exemple:
/ ******** Table ********/
Entity
EntityId
Name
When you query this table you should use the [ ] like this:
SELECT EntityId,[Name] FROM Entity
Anyone have any objection to this, with actual facts?
The question why use this?
This about the programing object in C#
Entity oneEntity = new Entity();
oneEntity.Name = "Test Entity";
It could be:
oneEntity.EntityName = "Test Entity";
Any one???
Clueless Client Who Wants To Create A Table Using Reserved Words
Mar 19, 2004Hello all,
I have a database that supports two different applications.
For arguments sake I'll call them "intelligent app" and "clueless app"
The client that provided me the schema for the clueless app used reserved words as field names.
The words used are:
value, state, and time
I explained to the client that modifying them could prevent current/future issues.
The client is an "oracle" db (and in my mind should know better but .....) and responded back to me with the following:
BEGIN QUOTE
They are not currently reserved and there is no guarantee they will ever be reserved. In fact, the SQL server line eliminates as many words from the reserved list as they add with new releases. There are other words on the
possible future reserved keyword list that I do not wish to avoid either unless forced to some day, like depth, size, class, zone, level and others.
END QUOTE
Now for the assistance request, where can I find the documented ramifications of using reserved words?
I want to have my documentation (and my ducks lined up) when this clients portion of the app fails.
Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.

Transact SQL :: Convert City Name To Upper / Lower
Jul 7, 2015In the database, most of our cities are stored in all upper case. For reporting purposes, I need to have them returned as upper/lower.  I used the below function, which works great for one word cities.  However I can’t figure out how to get it to capitalize the 1st letter of each word, for addresses containing multiple names such as Rancho Santa Margarita.Â
Upper(left(CR_MEMBER_ALLMEMBERDETAILS.ADDRESSCITY,1))+lower(substring(CR_MEMBER_ALLMEMBERDETAILS.ADDRESSCITY, 2, LEN(CR_MEMBER_ALLMEMBERDETAILS.ADDRESSCITY)))As ADDRESSCITY
This returns back: ‘Rancho santa margarita’; I need it to return ‘Rancho Santa Margarita’. Is this possible to do at the query level?
Convert Text Pulled From SQL Databse To UPPER And Lower, Etc
Aug 29, 2006I'm still haven't resolved the issue with displaying information from a SQL database. The text I'm displaying is in ALL CAPS in the SQL database, and I'm trying to convert it so that when I display it in gridview, The First Letter Of Each Word Is Capitalized, as apposed to ALL CAPS. I've tried the text-transform feature of CSS, but I noticed in a SQL book there are LOWER() & UPPER() string functions. The ideal thing to do then, would be to do some select statement that converts all the incoming text to lowercase, then use the CSS text-transform: capitalize , to convert the first letter of each word to caps. Basically, I need a select statement or something that converts my sql material to lowercase. Thanks.

View 2 Replies View RelatedOrder By Using Reserved Keyword?
Jan 12, 2001Hi,
We have a table with a column called 'text' Yes, text is a reserved keyword for data type. I can select it 'SELECT text FROM thistable' but when I try to use it in the order clause, 'SELECT text FROM thistable ORDER BY text', I get this error:
'The text, ntext, and image data types cannot be used in an ORDER BY clause'
I know, you're not supposed to used reserved keywords but the person who initially created this didn't know. We would prefer not to change the column name as this would require tons of changes in the code & COM object.
Is there a way to order this column?
Thanks.

View 1 Replies View RelatedReserved Word Zinger!!
Apr 29, 2002I migrated a SQL7 database to a SQL2000 server by restoring from a backup file. Everything worked fine until we restarted the SQL Service a few days later and suddenly a table named Function caused me much grief
It seems Function is a reserved word in 2000 - but not in SQL 7.
I am guessing the restore fooled the system into thinking it was a SQL7 database until the restart? Anyone have any ideas why else it would have worked just fine for 5 days, then die on a restart of SQL service (not even a reboot!)

Replacing A Reserved Keyword
Feb 11, 2014I've got a sproc that we are migrating from SS2K that uses the reserved keyword 'Pivot'. Best way to replace it. I think it is renameable until the select from TempDB (which is mysterious as I can't see a table in tempDB by that name!!) as below...
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_CreateXtab]
@select varchar(8000),
@sumfunc varchar(100),

@table varchar(100),
@SQLOutput varchar(8000) OUTPUT

Reclaiming Reserved Space For Tables
Jan 23, 2008Dear Friends,I'm running a SQL 2005 database. Lately (in the last 4 months) my database size has grown exponentially and now totals 2.5 gig (it used to be about 100mb). When I run sp_spaceused i get the following info:
Reserved Space 2522MB
Data 450MB
Indexes 215MB
Unused 1856MB
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]-->
The unused space is reserved by my two largest tables, one being 542mb (which is a log I create and the size seems fine for the amount of data) reserving 1033mb and the other being 121mb (which is another log and also seems fine) reserving most of the rest.
I have tried running DBCC SHRINKFILE and DBCC CLEANTABLE commands on a backup copy of the database and cannot seem to free the unused space.
I have also tried copying the database in an attempt to reduce the unused reserved space and have tried creating a new database and importing the tables with no luck
Any help would be greatly appreciated, noting that I'm honestly not that technical and would probably need step by step instructions, but if you only have time to point me in the right direction that would also be of great help!

Work Around Of Using A Reserved Word In OLE DB Destination?
Jul 25, 2007Hi!
We are encountering an issue of using OLE DB destination with the field name of the table is a reserved word in the database.
The database is DB2 V8 (mainframe). "partition" is one of the reserved word in V8 (It is not in the previous version and the whole thing worked fine).
It errors out when it reaches to the OLE DB destination task to do the insert. It complaints about using the reserved word, "partition". We could use an "OLE DB command" (instead of a to do an OLE DB Destination) with the insert SQL statement explicitly by putting double quote around the field name, partition in the insert statement. It works this way. But We wondered if there is any work around of using a reserved word in OLE DB destination in that case?
Thanks!

Sp_xml_preparedocument CDATA Reserved Characters
Nov 29, 2007
I have tried both in sql server 2000 and sql server 2005 the following code:
DECLARE @DOC VARCHAR(100)
DECLARE @HDOC INT
SET @Doc='<datos><texto><![CDATA[lÃnea átona]]></texto></datos>'
EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @HDOC OUTPUT, @DOC
SELECT * FROM OPENXML(@HDOC,'datos',2) WITH (texto nvarchar(50))
I always get an error 6603 in SQL2000 and 6602+8179 in SQL2005, wich means it can't parse the 'Ã' and 'á' characters, though they are in a CDATA.
I have tried with <,>,@ characters and it works fine.
I have also tried using 'á' and 'í' without CDATA but I get the same message:
DECLARE @DOC VARCHAR(100)
DECLARE @HDOC INT
SET @Doc='<datos><texto><línea átona></texto></datos>'
EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @HDOC OUTPUT, @DOC
SELECT * FROM OPENXML(@HDOC,'datos',2) WITH (texto nvarchar(50))
Reserved Symbols / Punctuation Marks In Passwords
Dec 9, 2003Please can anyone help me - I am trying to establish whether there are any reserved symbols in SQL passwords
eg % £ " $ ( / < * etc
The SQL BOL has a list of reserved words but I cannot find a list of reserved symbols.
We have a problem where by for example if the main part of the password is "test" and my user wants to add a punctuation mark into this we get "You are attempting to use an invalid character message"
Specifically
"test$" is accepted "$test" is not accepted
None of "te+st" "+test" "test+" are accepted.
Has anyone else come across this and found a list of the logic that produces these results so I can point my users in the right direction?
Cheers

Transact-SQL: Word Sample Reserved In SQL2000??
Sep 26, 2007
Hi,
I haven't found anything that shows that "sample" is a reserved word in SQL 2000. However when I enter it in Query Analyzer, the color changes to blue, as it is a transact-sql word. However, I'm still able to create a table called sample or name the column.
Does anybody know why query analyzer recognizes it as a transact-sql/reserverd word??
Thanks in advance,
Jorge

UPPER Case Constraint
Mar 27, 2001Folks,
what script must I use, as a part of CREATE TABLE, to automatically convert characters to UPPER case on insert?
I wrote <CHECK (country = UPPER (country)> in the CREATE TABLE, which was wrong,
because the values were still in the lower case.
The sample script is:
CREATE TABLE address
(street varchar(40),
city varchar(20),
state char (2),
zip varchar (10),
country varchar (20))
When a user types "Canada", I want the inserted value be "CANADA"
Any help is greatly appreciated.
