Is there a way to create tables on the sql ce db that matches the tables I'm pulling from the main sql server?
example;
if I do a pull from Customers and ID is a primary key, how can i create this table on my handheld and have the ID set to primary key as well?
I want to do this on all my tables I need to pull from and create on my sql ce db
I want to make a copy of a table and this table has several constraints and
I would like to keep all of them
How should I do it? Thank you
Trying to get all the constraints for particular Tables in my database. I try:
SELECT constraint_name, constraint_type FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS
and getting nada?
hey i was just wondering how to display the constraints from a particular table and display all the constraints and wat columns they apply to, someone told me they keyword u use but didnt tell me how to use it :P

View 3 Replies View RelatedDear Experts,When I use a single table I can easily use constraints to enforce mybusiness logic, but what do I do when I normalize a single table intomultiple tables.For example, imagine that my initial table has the columns ID, Name,Salary with the constraint that Salary is not NULL. Now imagine thatI break this into two tables, one with ID and Name and another with IDand Salary. I would like to have a constraint that prevents thecreation of a row with (ID,Name) in the first table unless acorresponding row in the second table is also created.I can enforce this logic with triggers, but it looks ugly and isfairly brittle. Is there a better way or is this the dark side ofnormalization?Thanks.

Guys,
I have 600 tables in my database, out of which 40 tables are look up value tables. I want generate truncate scripts which truncates all the tables in order of Parent child relationship excluding lookup tables. Is there any way to do this apart from figuring out Parent Child relationship and then writing the truncate statements for each of the table.
For example
EmployeeDetail table references Employee table
DepartmentDetail table references Department table
Department table references Employee table
My truncate script should be
TRUNCATE TABLE DEPARTMENTDETAIL
TRUNCATE TABLE EMPLOYEEDETAIL
TRUNCATE TABLE DEPARTMENT
TRUNCATE TABLE EMPLOYEE
Is there any automated way to figure out parent and child tables and generate truncate script for the same.
Thanks
Hey there,
Trying to build a temporary table based on a parent table such that:select * into #staging from tbl_parent where 1=0
The temp table (#staging) picks up any NOT NULL constraints from the parent (tbl_parent) table and frankly, it doesn't meet my needs.I also tried to build a view of the parent (tbl_parent) table from which to base my SELECT INTO and still, the constraints followed.
I'm thinking perhaps it possble to iterate though the temp table using syscolumns sysobjects and and set the column NULL properties on the temp table AFTER its been created but in this approach, I'm working to avoid directly referencing the columns by name.
Is this possible? A better answer perhaps?
Purpose of exercie is to populate a record in memory before it hits the table.I'll be constructing the record on the fly so that at first, I won't have all the fields to de-Null the columns.Also, I don't wish to lose the fact that some of my fields are Null - once I've fully populated my temp record, I'll insert into my 'real' table and will depend on constraints to throw the appropriate error. In this I won't have to built custom error checking in the stored procedure itself but instead depend on SQL SERVERS built capacity to the throw the error. This opens a bunch of possibilities for extensibility since if at a later date a constraint rule changes, one need only change the parent table definition rather than cracking open the stored procedure.
Thank you for reading and a big thanks to you for replying :)
Also,
Any tool, script, procedure, or otherwise that will solve this problem?
CREATE TABLE [Table 1] (
Id varchar,
TableTwoId varchar,
OtherData varchar )
CREATE TABLE [Table 2] (
Id varchar,
MoreData varchar )
What is the link between these two tables?
I have databases that have zero keys defined, no foreign key constraints, no unique value constraints. I cannot assume that an Identity column is the Id. The end game is be able to output that [Table 1].[TableTwoId] = [Table 2].[Id] but cannot assume that all linkage in the database will be as simple as saying "if the field name contains a table name + Id then it is the Id in that table."
Currently have written a script that will cycle through all columns and start identifying keys in singular tables based on the distinctness of the values in each column (i.e. Column1 is 99% distinct so is the unique value). It will also combine columns if the linkage is the combination of one or more columns from Table 1 = the same number of columns in Table 2. This takes a long time, and it somewhat unreliable as IDENTITY columns may seem to relate to one another when they don't.

I know this is probably a flick of a switch but I cannot figure out which switch. Setup is SQL Server / Stored Procedures / DAL / BLL(skipped for testing) / PL. The stored procedure queries from only one table and two columns are ignored because they are being phased out. I can run the stored procedure and preview the data in the DAL but when I create a page with an ODS linked to the DAL and a GridView I get this error. I checked every column that does not allow nulls and they all have values. I checked unique columns (ID is the only unique and is Identity=Yes in the table definition). I checked foreign-key columns for values that are not in the foreign table and there are none. Any ideas why do I get this?
Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints.
Hi,
I am getting the above error when trying to load a report into my Web Application, I have tracked the error down to one specific field in my database. Even though this field is a NVarChar field and is of size 30 it would seem that there is an issue returning the value from the field. I can write it into the database no problems but when I try to get it out of the database it returns the above error.
e.g
MOB 401.908.804 - Fails
0401.907.324 - okay
8239 9082 (pager) - fails
Anyone got an idea on how to fix this????

Peter.

I am using the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" to copy some tables from database A to database B including data.
The tables, primary key constraints, Foreign key, data and all transfers nicely except for "DEFAULT CONSTRAINTS" on the tables.
I have failed to find any option in the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" task to explicitly say "copy default constraints". So I guess logically it should happen automatically but it doesn't. I hope it is not a bug :-)
Any option anyone knows will help.
Thanks.
Hello all,
Being still a relative newcomer to SQL Server (people may say I'm trying to take on too much being somewhat inexperienced once they read about the problem I'm trying to tackle, but alas...) I'm running into the following problem: I need to create tables in my user database on the fly (using Stored Procedures) so that each table can be created many times in the database but only once for every user. The tables should be named something like "username.Table1", "username.Table2" etc. as opposed to "dbo.Table1". I then want to use the stored procedure from .NET/C# in my web application, so that i can create the complete set of usertables for each of my clients.
Now, I tackled the stored procedure part (that is, it creates all the tables I need with all the parameters I want) and am able to use it from my web application (which took some time to learn but proved quite easy to do), but I cannot seem to get it coupled to the current user (instead of the dbo). Every time I trie, the tables are created as dbo.Table1 and when I try to create a new set, it gives a warning ("table with name such and so already exists..."). I made sure to log in as an authenticated user (using forms authentication) before trying to create the tables but this gives the aforementioned result.
What am I doing wrong? I use Visual Web Developer Express, SQL Server 2005 Express and IIS version 5.1
Please help :-D

I have a table that I am basically reduplicating a couple of times for each part of this database that I want to create.Each table basically has the same data: The tables will be called motherTable, fatherTable, sonTable, daughterTable and so on.I am pretty much using the following in each column: UserID, MotherID(or FatherID or SonID, etc., etc. and so on for each unique table), FirstName, LastName, MiddleName, BirthPlace, Photo, Age.I don't see an option to copy a table and just modify the second ID part and rename that table accordingly.How can I make this an easier way of creating these similar tables without retyping all these columns over and over again?Thanks in advance.

stepdefinition has

task has
taskid

flowid and stepid for both tables match; meaning that if i found a record in task with a certain taskid, i could query stepdefinition with the same flowid and stepid to find the steptype.
well, i wanna do it the other way around. I query stepdefinition to find a list of flowids and stepids for a specific steptype.
select flowid, stepid from stepdefinition where steptype = -3
Now, I want to find all taskids in task for each flowid/stepid combination

Hi, I have a users table in my SQL Server database. Now, I am looking to create a table (or multiple tables) to allow users to post their weekly events, meetings, activities, and accomplishments to the database. Each Monday morning, each user will enter their new schedule for that week and the previous week's entry will be archived in the database. My question is: what would make more sense? Should I create one big table that would have the following columns:
- Week Number (the current week number in the year)
- User ID
- Events
- Meetings
- Activities
- Accomplishments
And each user would have one row in the database per week.
OR should I create 4 separate tables named Events, Meetings, Activities, Accomplishments. Each of these tables would have the following columns: (for instance, the Events table would contain:)
- eventID (auto incremented number)
- userID
- weekNumber
- event_description
Each time a user adds a new event to their schedule, a new row in the Events table is created. Each time a user adds a new accomplishment, a new row in the Accomplishments table is created. etc., etc.
Which approach seems to make more sense and would be easier to maintain? Also, which one would conserve database space better and result in faster querying.
Thanks, Dave
I have to create a history of tables. Therefore I must know the previous structure of the table. I have to document the changes of the structures of the tables.
Is there a solution for the version 2000?
I'm attempting to use SQL statement to create tables within a new database, and I'm somewhat lacking in experience for this. Normally I'd simply create them through the GUI, but I want to get the hang of DDL statements.
I have written what I think are scripts to create one table with a primary key, create a unique index on it, and then create another table with a primary key and constrain two columns in the second table to the non-primary unique index in the first.
Code:
Use SKUTracking
CREATE TABLE
SKUTracking.dbo.tblOraUnits
