Oct 15, 2007How to remove the constraints on a table in sql server 2000? I need to drop the column, so i need to drop the constraint before that.
Alter Table Table_Name NO CHECK constraints ALL.
Once I execute the above one, it says, "Successfully Executed" but when I try to drop it doesnt allow me and gives me the following error:
Server: Msg 5074, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The object 'DF_Users_Created_by' is dependent on column 'CREATED_BY'.
Server: Msg 4922, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN CREATED_BY failed because one or more objects access this column.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Temporarily Dropping Constraints
Apr 27, 2007Assuming that I have created relationships (PKs and FKs) on my tables already, does the following statement permanently remove a Foreign Key constraint, or does it mearly disable it?ALTER TABLE myTable NOCHECK CONSTRAINT FK_myForeignKeyGO Also, I can't seem to find out how to temporarily remove the Identity qualifier of a field, and then reset it back as Identity later. Any help?Finally, will a failure of ALTER TABLE affect the @@ERROR variable? Can I check @@ERROR after each ALTER TABLE table statement to see if @@ERROR <> 0?The reason for both of these issues is that I am redesigning an unnormalized database, and I need to write a large script to drop all constraints on all tables, transform the data as normalized into the new table structure, and then re-enable constraints, Identity fields, etc. Thanks.

Jul 28, 2006I have some C# code written a little while that imports data nightly
into a database. Most of the data is typically deleted from the tables
and imported again. There are some tables where data is never deleted
and references other tables. Because there are constraints between
these tables, the code processes the import in the following sequence.
get constraints from database->drop constraints->delete data->apply
constaints->import data
I was curious how I can accomplish similiar results in SSIS. I know I
can execute a process task to manage the constraints, but I was
wondering if there is any other way.
Thanks,

Dropping Default Constraints
Jun 29, 2007Hello
We've got a product which uses merge replication with anonymous pullsubscriptions.
At most custome sites it's running on SQL Server 2000, a few with SQL 2005, which is running wich replication compatibility level 80 due to .
As it happens, db schema changes. So I have to drop a column with a default constraint. First the constraint, then the column.
This works excellently on the publisher - but not on the subscriber
The schema script 'exec sp_repldropcolumn '[dbo].[role_modul_rmd]', 'rmd_modul_enabled', 1' could not be propagated to the subscriber.

Dropping FK Constraints In A Stored Procedure
Jul 23, 2005I just looked at a coworker's stored procedure and this person isdropping 4 Foreign key constraints and then re-adding them afterprocessing the required logic (updating rows in the 4 tables inquestion).Is there *ANY* good reason to do this? What are the performanceimplications of doing this - negative or otherwise?I was furious when I found this because every once in a while I wouldnotice that the constraints would be in flux....some days they werethere, othere days there were not. I mean, this is a good enough reasonto NOT do this, but I need some additional feedback. Maybe there *is* agood reason, and that the logic just needs tweaking.Thanks.

Jan 9, 2007I 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?

Jan 17, 2008Hi,
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????

How To Use Wildcards In WHERE Clause
May 5, 2004I have a SQL statement which is generated dynamically. I need to know what is the correct syntax for this
WHERE status = 'open' AND salesman = * AND dat = * AND customername = *
i.e. fetch everything WHERE status = 'open'
I know that simply WHERE status = 'open' would do the trick but I need it like the first example because of the way the statement is being generated i.e. this salesmen bit is like this.
If Salesman <> "*" Then
sql2 &= " AND salesman = '" & Salesman & "'"
Else
sql2 &= " AND salesman = *"
End If
Thanks

Wildcards In Words
Apr 28, 2005Hi I'm using the full-text indexing on a table and I'm trying to implement a search where users can search for words and use wildcards themselves. However I'm working on a method so that can enter a wildcard in the middle of a word to get records where they are unsure of the spelling etc.
For instance, a search of 'Ste*en' should return results like 'Steven' and 'Stephen' etc. So if they are searching for word 'establishment' they can search for 'estab*ment' and it should return all the records using this query:
SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE CONTAINS(myField,'"estab*ment"')
If I do a wildcard at the end e.g: SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE CONTAINS(myField,'"estab*"')
I get the results I am looking for. But the middle wildcard does not seem to work as expected even though it is the syntax used on MSDN and other SQL info sites.
Is there something I am not doing properly?

Wildcards In SQL Server
Nov 1, 1999I have a stored procdure in SQL Sever that accepts paramteres. I am trying
to return rows where parameter that is passed is somewhere in the cuustomer's
name. Without the variable the SQL would look like this:
SELECT * FROM tbl
WHERE CustomerName LIKE '%Smith%'
I can't figure out how to replace LIKE '%Smith%' with a varible. I tried
'%@CustomerName%', ('%' + @CustomerName + '%') and neither works. Any ideas?
Thanks
ps my column's type is char(50) and so is the variable so trailing spaces
don't matter.

Wildcards On Columns?
Nov 29, 2005My use of wildcards thus far has been limited to matching a givenstring anywhere in a column as follows:SELECT * FROM Table WHERE Column LIKE '%string%'However, I'm wondering if there's a way to do this in reverse. Thatis, is there a way to match the column anywhere in the string?Pseudo-coding it as:SELECT * FROM Table WHERE 'string' LIKE %Column%What I'm trying to match is network addresses. Most of the storedaddresses in this table are exact (i.e. ip-1-2-3-4.location.isp.com)but sometimes they encompass an entire group (i.e. location.isp.com).When an exact address is given in the code I'm writing, it needs tomatch any rows that contain its exact self or contain a shortenedversion of which it is part.Any ideas?-cyber0nehttp://www.cyber0ne.com

Using Wildcards Efficiently With Equals Or LIKE
Jul 6, 2006Is it possible to use wildcards with an equals statement? Such asSELECT * FROM Table WHERE City = '%' AND State='Ca'Bascially just stating where city equals anything...I know you can do it with a LIKE statement such as...SELECT * FROM Table WHERE City LIKE '%' AND State='Ca'but is that very efficient?The reason I want to do this is because I want to programmitcally set the city, so just ommiting it won't work
Also, using City LIKE '%' seems to not include NULL...is there anywayto include NULL as well as anything else?

Dec 12, 2007
I have an ASP.NET application where I am using a drop down list which is populated from another table. I have initialized the drop down with a "All" with the value of "%" field and then appended the rest of the data from the table.
I wrote a basic stored procedure which doesn't work exactly the way I want it to:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.spGetHistory
@StartDate datetime,
@EndDate datetime,
@MessageCode char(2)
AS
SELECT *
FROM table_name
WHERE (update_date between @StartDate AND @EndDate) AND (message_code LIKE @MessageCode)
If I select any item except for "All" the stored procedure brings back exactly what I want. If I select "All", no rows are returned. I have searched around the internet for a simple solution to this with no luck. Any ideas?
Multivalue Parameters And Wildcards

Greetings all
trying to get a multivalue parameter to accept either typed in data ex: 111111111,111111112 or if I want to return all id numbers type in %. Problem is when I test it by typing in 111111111,111111112 it throws an error saying " Incorrect syntax near ','.
I can enter 111111111 or % and get results, the error comes when I try to type in two or more id numbers. the parameter in the dataset looks like
where a.id_number LIKE (@id_number+ '%')
any suggesstions? Im sure there are threads out there but Im pressed to meet a deadline and wanted to see if there were any quick solutions

Wildcards In SQL Server Stored Procedures
Jul 20, 2005I thought this problem would go away over the Christmas holiday, butof course it did not. I'm trying to write a stored procedureincorporating wildcards, so I can search for variations. Example, ifname 'Smith' is submitted, sproc should retrieve all recordscontaining 'John Smith', 'Zenia Smith', 'Smithfield & Co.' You get theidea.Using SQL Query Analyzer, the queryselect * from filewhere name like '%smith%'works like a charm.But if I write a stored procedure declaring the variable @name andusing a where clause 'where name like '%@name%'', I get zero results.The query doesn't bomb. It just doesn't produce anything - even thoughI know there are records that meet the criteria.Any ideas? Or are sprocs and wildcards incompatible?

Oct 22, 2007
Hello, I have what should be a very simple problem, but I cant solve it.
I want to have a stored procedure return a table query (no problems here) but I also need to supply several parameters to the stored procedure (again, no problem!)
Here is the problem, I need to be able to supply a wildcard into the stored procedure as an argument somehow. I can do this already, but the results are incorrect!!! It seems like when local variables are used, the wildcard argument gets ignored. for example, I have included the following example:
DECLARE @Dv_id nchar(15)
SET @Drv_id = '%'
SELECT Diver.*, (ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY Dv_id)) as RowNum FROM Diver WHERE Dv_id LIKE @Dv_id
SELECT Diver.*, (ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY Dv_id)) as RowNum FROM Diver WHERE Dv_id LIKE '%'
OK, this is an example of my problem, the results I get from this are that the fist SELECT return 0 rows.
The second SELECT returns the correct number of rows (everything in the table). Why is there a difference between:
WHERE Drv_id LIKE @Drv_id
and
WHERE Drv_id LIKE '%'
?
The wildcard statement '%' is supposed match everything, correct??
It seems like the local variable SET command syntax eats up my value of '%' and turns it into a NULL.
Is there any way around this?
