hi..
i want to know how to create table while specifying the database name..
the syntax given in the help is this
CREATE TABLE
[ database_name.[ owner ] . | owner. ] table_name
but i cant seem to do it.. it always generates an error whenever i give my database name..
I keep getting a syntax error when I try to execute the following statement from Query Analyzer:
Alter Table Table1
Alter Column Field1 Int
I am getting the following error:
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Line 2: Incorrect syntax near 'column'.
I am converting Field1 from a varchar to int, is this not allowed?
TIA,
Chris
Ok I am new to Sql and am wonder How I can (when createing a table ) have a field that is auto incremented.
Here is what I have so far
Code:
CREATE TABLE test (`id` INTEGER NOT NULL, `test` VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
I want the primary key id to be an incremented number.
I am used to mysql and I would just have the field created as an AUTO_INCREMENT.
Do I use the INCREMENT function within the first query or do I have to have another query that will alter the table and make the field an auto incremented number.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks,
Tom
Is there a way to join 2 tables from different databases on the same instance? If so, what is the syntax? For example I have an instance called TEST with 2 databases (DB1 and DB2). Each database have a table (DB1.TABLE & DB2.TABLE). Both tables have a common column called ID.
Can both tables be joined in a query?
TIA.
I have several reports where I am trying to use a single sp, and filter some of the paramater selections in reporting services.
I can get a single item to work in the filters
ie: state.value = SC
but i have not been able to get a multivalue scenario to work.
ie: State.value in SC,GA,TN
or State.value in ('SC','GA','TN')
or State.value in ("SC","GA","TN")
or State.value in 'SC','GA','TN'
or State.value in "SC","GA","TN"
I am guessing it is a simple syntax thing, but well obviously I havent found it.
Any help would be appreciated

Dear all,
I have a flatfile contain several SQL syntax calling a stored procedure (execute usp_table 'param1', 'param2' out) and have been imported into a temporer table. Inside this table I have a few column (identity column, syntax column and status column). Status column used for identify whether the execution succes.
My plan is to read this table and execute the syntax row by row, the stored procedure will return a success or failure status from param2. And I have to read this return to update the Status column inside the table.
I tried Execute SQL Task and throw the return value of stored procedure to a result set. But I didn't know how to treat the result set to update the table. So what task should I use ?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,

Im trying to write a generic data access layer that supports SQL CE and Im wondering if any type of schema qualifier can be placed in front of a table name when executing a sql statement.
I've tried soemthing like this
select * from dbo.Account
I get this error,
The table name is not valid. [ Token line number (if known) = 1,Token line offset (if known) = 19,Table name = account ]
It doesnt make really make sense to include a qualifier for sql ce but I just wanted to make sure that there wasnt some other syntax that I wasnt aware of.
Thanks.
Hello
I am trying to join 2 tables listing product names but I can’t get the syntax quite right.
I have managed to get the 2 tables to display separately.
Table #1:
Select
ProductName as [Product Name]
From
Product_CatA
Where Auto = 'yes'
Order By
ProductName ASC
Table #2
SELECT ProductName, Price, '<a href="' + url + '">' + Title + '</a>' as Link
FROM ProductNames
WHERE Extn = '0151'
And url like 'http:%'
ORDER BY ProductName ASC
I want to display all the data values taken from Table #1 as above.
Hi guys,
I need to pass some SQL to someone else who will run it on their database. I have got the SQL for SQL Server 2000 but they are running SQL Server 7. Apparently the below MSSQL 2000 script doesn't work;
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tableName](
[id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[ArticleID] [int] NULL,
[Heading] [text] COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[BodyContent] [text] COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[WrittenDate] [datetime] NULL,
CONSTRAINT [tableName] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [id] ASC )
)
What is the equivalent of the above in for SQL Server 7? I don't have access to it via SQL Server Manager so have to run the script.
Hi,
I wish to export a MS SQL table into a text file. I know that I can do this under the DTS wizard but I need the syntax so as to run in on my script. Can anyone help?
Thanks!
I finally found a way to "deploy" my local SqlServerExpress (SSE) database to the remote Sql2K server... In VisualWebDeveloper (VWD) I can create the table definition and then save the creation sql script and use that in SSE Express Manager while connected to my remote DB. I am describing this because I'm so surprised no one has had problems with this as thousands of developers, some very unexperienced (as me maybe!), are trying the same situation now that some are offering 2.0 hosting... Well I thought this was a great idea until the Sql2K server is returning error messages on the script VWD created. So please could you help since I'm not that good at complex sql scripting. It seems the error comes from the ALTER TABLE syntax:BEGIN TRANSACTIONSET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ONSET ARITHABORT ONSET NUMERIC_ROUNDABORT OFFSET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL ONSET ANSI_NULLS ONSET ANSI_PADDING ONSET ANSI_WARNINGS ONCOMMITBEGIN TRANSACTIONCREATE TABLE dbo.Table2 ( prID int NOT NULL IDENTITY (1, 1), DateInserted datetime NOT NULL, Title nvarchar(100) NOT NULL, Description nvarchar(MAX) NULL, CategoryID smallint NOT NULL, DateLastUpdated datetime NULL, Price int NOT NULL, SpecialPrice int NULL, ImgSuffix nvarchar(5) NULL, ImgCustomWidth smallint NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]GOALTER TABLE dbo.Table2 ADD CONSTRAINT PK_Table2 PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( prID ) WITH( STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]

Hi
Is there a syntax similar to the oracle in SQL Server?
Oracle statement: create table table2 as select * from table1
which will create table2 with exactly the same structure
and records as table 1

I want to script the whole database - is this possible?
I'd like to see the same scripts that I get when in management studio I right click on a table and do script table as - create to
is there anyway to get in one click all the tables or do I need to do one by one?
What would be the correct syntax, if any, that allows updating a tablevariable in a statement that uses the same table variable in a correlatedsubquery? Here's an example:DECLARE @t table (N1 int NOT NULL, N2 int NOT NULL)UPDATE @t SETN1 = (SELECT COUNT(1)FROM @t AS tWHERE t.N2 < @t.N2)This doesn't compile, complaining about "variable @t" in the WHERE clause.I'm not so interested in a way to rewrite this particular statement to makeit work, but rather in a general way to refer to table variables in thecontexts where correlation names cannot be used.Thank you.--remove a 9 to reply by email

View 1 Replies View RelatedJust started learning SQL recently.But one thing i'm still not clear on is about altering relationships betweentables after they've been created.Instead of creating a foreign key when the table is first created - i createthe table and then run a query to set the foreign key and relationship(one-to-one, one-to-many etc)Anyways, long story short is i want to create a one-to-one relationship witha table but am having problems with adding more than one constraint at atime when altering a table.Understand yet? Easiest thing to do is show you:I have 2 tables: Branch_Table and Employee_TableI want to create a one-to-one relationship between emp_id on theBranch_Table and manager_id on the Employee_Table.The SQL i've written which doesn't seem to work is:ALTER TABLE Branch_TableAdd Constraint Branch_Table_FK1 FOREIGN KEY (manager_id)Add Constraint Branch_Table_UQ1 Unique (manager_id)References Employee_Table (emp_id));Am having trouble with that second Add constraint (UQ1 unique). I know it'ssomething to do with the Add syntax above.So basically, my question is can i create a one-to-one relationship withjust the one SQL Query? And how would i do it?Many thanks in advance.

Hi all!
I'm trying to use a UDF that returns a table, but I'm not sure of the syntax to invoke it. I've found examples in BOL and on-line like the following:
SELECT * FROM dbo.fn_MyTableFunc( 123.09, 'MyID' )
But I need the input parameter to be obtained from another table. For a very simplistic example, I've got 4 tables (and yes, I know that I can get the results I want for this example without using a UDF, but humor me):
CREATE TABLE tUser (UserID int PRIMARY KEY, UserName varchar(50))
CREATE TABLE tAcctGroup (AcctGroupID int PRIMARY KEY, AcctGroupName varchar(50))
CREATE TABLE tAcct (AcctID int PRIMARY KEY, AcctGroupID int, AcctName varchar(50))
CREATE TABLE tMapUserToGroup (UserID int, AcctGroupID int)
GO
INSERT INTO tUser VALUES (111, 'Me')
INSERT INTO tAcctGroup VALUES (1, 'NY')
INSERT INTO tAcct VALUES (11, 1, 'New York City')
INSERT INTO tAcct VALUES (12, 1, 'Syracuse')
INSERT INTO tAcctGroup VALUES (2, 'GA')
INSERT INTO tAcct VALUES (21, 2, 'Atlanta')
INSERT INTO tAcct VALUES (22, 2, 'Savannah')
INSERT INTO tAcct VALUES (23, 2, 'Augusta')
INSERT INTO tAcctGroup VALUES (3, 'TX')
INSERT INTO tAcct VALUES (31, 3, 'Dallas')
INSERT INTO tAcct VALUES (32, 3, 'Houston')
INSERT INTO tAcct VALUES (33, 3, 'El Paso')
INSERT INTO tAcct VALUES (34, 3, 'San Antonio')
INSERT INTO tAcctGroup VALUES (4, 'CA')
INSERT INTO tAcct VALUES (41, 4, 'Los Angeles')
INSERT INTO tAcct VALUES (42, 4, 'San Francisco')
INSERT INTO tMapUserToGroup VALUES (111,2)
INSERT INTO tMapUserToGroup VALUES (111,4)
GO
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.ufnGetAcctList(@AcctGroupID int) RETURNS @tAcct table (AcctID int, AcctName varchar(50))
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO @tAcct
SELECT AcctID, AcctName FROM tAcct WHERE AcctGroupID = @AcctGroupID
RETURN
END
GO
I know that I can do:
SELECT * FROM TestDB.dbo.ufnGetAcctList(4)
But I want the equivalent of:
SELECT AcctID, AcctName FROM tAcct
WHERE AcctGroupID IN (SELECT AcctGroupID FROM tMapUserToGroup WHERE UserID = 111)
Which uses tMapUserToGroup to obtain the AcctGroupID to pass into the function. The results would be:
AcctID AcctName

21 Atlanta
22 Savannah
23 Augusta
41 Los Angeles
42 San Francisco
Any thoughts?

I am trying to get a SQL statement to work with both Access 2000 and SQL Server 2000.
The statement that works in SQL Server is:
---
UPDATE [myTable2]
SET
[myTable2].[FieldA] = 'Hello',
[myTable2].[FieldB] = 2,
[myTable2].[FieldC] = 'xxx',
[myTable2].[FieldD] = 0
FROM [myTable1] INNER JOIN
(myTable2 INNER JOIN [myTable3]
ON [myTable2].[FieldX]=[myTable2].[FieldY])
ON [myTable1].[FieldZ]=[myTable2].[FieldY]
WHERE ([myTable2].[FieldY]=1)
And ([myTable3].[FieldZ]='xxx');
---
(names have been changed to protect the innocent)
The statement that works in Access is:
---
UPDATE [myTable1] INNER JOIN
(myTable2 INNER JOIN [myTable3]
ON [myTable2].[FieldX]=[myTable2].[FieldY])
ON [myTable1].[FieldZ]=[myTable2].[FieldY]
SET
[myTable2].[FieldA] = 'Hello',
[myTable2].[FieldB] = 2,
[myTable2].[FieldC] = 'xxx',
[myTable2].[FieldD] = 0
WHERE ([myTable2].[FieldY]=1)
And ([myTable3].[FieldZ]='xxx');
---
It seems that neither will accept the other format. Can anyone suggest how I can rearrange the statement so that it works in both?
hai guys,
i have written a stored procedure which creates a table ex:

I'm using the following syntax to extract a list of all the table names on a linked server:

Hi,
I have set up a publisher using transactional replication. ( all seems ok). The initial snapshot has been generated.
The replication share on the distributor has all the generated DDL in it.
I add a subscriber. The tables are generated up to tblCountry then I get an incorrect syntax near ')' error
The Replication Monitor shows the following code as the cause. ( bold indicates incorrect sql)
Is this a bug in Replication (as this is an autogenerated sp)or have I configured something incorrectly?
The ddl for the table index is as follows ( from the replication folder)
