I had database with "-1.#IND" (Indefinite /infinite) values in float columns.
Is there anyway I can insert -1#IND value into float column using some insert query and query analyzer? I am using SQL Server 2000.
I want to insert this value to replicate the issue..just for testing. I am also wondring how my database got these values.
Thanks in Advance!
I tried all the INFORMATION_SCHEMA on SQL 2000 andI see that the system tables hold pretty much everything I aminterested in: Objects names (columns, functions, stored procedures, ...)stored procedure statements in syscomments table.My questions are:If you script your whole database everything you end up havingin the text sql scripts, are those also located in the system tables?That means i could simply read those system tables to get any informationI would normally look in the sql script files?Can i quickly generate a SQL statement of all the indexes on my database?I read many places that Microsoftsays not to modify anything in those tables and not query them since theirstructure might change in future SQL versions.Is it safe to use and rely the system tables?I basically want to do at least fetching of information i want from thesystem tables rather than the SQL script files.I also want to know if it's pretty safe for me to make changes in thesetables.Can i rename an object name for example an Index name, a Stored Procedurename?Can i add a new column in the syscolumns table for a user table?Thank you

Hi all,
We have sql sever 2000 as our backend database system. on the front, we have vb medical application screen for users to do the data entry.
for 7th screen, it is assoicated with table Case_Custom. user enter data througth 7th screen to populate Case_Custom table.
There is one column called Case_Custom.CaseID ( a foreign key to to parent table Cases) was populated automatically instead of user input.
However, I could not find which stored procedure, views or trigger or application code to populate this field? I have queried INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES, dbo.syscomments and did not find anything updating Case_Custom.CaseID.
I have contacted our app vendor and have got any answer from them yet.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jane

I am brand new to using SQL. I created a DB with a bunch of tables there. What I would like to do is from my VB.NET application I would like to allow the user to see what tables are available in that DB.
Also I need a way to check if a table exists. I used the following:
strTemp = "IF EXISTS " & _
"(SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'simplesql') AND type in (N'U'))"
cmd.Connection = conncmd.CommandType = CommandType.Textcmdcmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
but I get an exception : Incorrect syntax near ')'
thanks for your help

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have this 2 tables:
Table1: Table2:
ID Value ID Value
--------- ---------
1 2 2 1
2 1 3 4
4 3 4 4I
need to find all differences between the 2 Tables.
A mismatch can be:
- Table1.ID exists, Table2.ID does not exist
- Table2.ID exists, Table1.ID does not exist
- Table1.ID = Table2.ID and Table1.Value <> Table2.Value
So I want to be returned:
ID Value ID Value
--------------------
1 2 NULL NULL
4 3 4 4
NULL NULL 3 4
There must be something simpler than the solution I came up with which is:select * from Table1 a full outer join Table2 b on a.Id = b.Id
WHERE a.value <> b.value or (a.value IS NULL and b.value IS NOT NULL) or (a.value IS NOT NULL and b.value IS NULL)Martin

Hi,
We have inventory table which is updated everyday.
I need to find the gap between updated table vs history (which means yesterday's data).
what i did is I just copy the inventory everyday before it is updated.
So, whenver inventory table is updated I want to know the gap between these two (history vs updated) tables.
The structure of two tables are same and here are columns:
date_key (fk)
store_key(fk)
item_key(fk)
begin_inventory_dollars
ending_inventory_dollars
begin_inventory_units
ending_inventory_units
I want to compare each row and if the value is changed I want to have a gap (updated value - history value) and if data is new then just want to add.
Here is tsql: however when I compare to gap between table from excel spreadsheet and this query, this query does not return a right value. (Some are correct but some don't)
Code Snippet
select a.date_date_key,
sum(a.Beg_Inventory_Dollars- (case when b.beg_inventory_dollars is NULL then 0 else b.Beg_Inventory_Dollars end)),
sum(a.Beg_Inventory_Units-(case when b.beg_Inventory_Units is NULL then 0 else b.beg_Inventory_Units end)) ,
sum(a.Ending_Inventory_Dollars- (case when b.Ending_Inventory_Dollars is NULL then 0 else b.Ending_Inventory_Dollars end)),
Sum(a.Ending_Inventory_Units-(case when b.Ending_Inventory_units is NULL then 0 else b.Ending_Inventory_Units end))
from UPDATED TABLE a
left outer join HISTORY TABLE b
on b.item_key = a.item_key and
b.store_key =a.store_key and
b.date_key =a.date_key
group by a.fisc_date_key
Did I miss something in here?
Any kind of advice would be grealy appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi All,
Given a table, is there a way to programmatically find out what other tables and views it can be joinned with? Essentially, given two tables, two views, or a table and a view, I want to be able to find out if they can be joinned. I was able to find related tables with sp_fkeys, but this does not work all the time, and does not work at all with views. I also played with the information_schema but got mixed up and confused quickly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
We are trying to find out the difference between tables in CUSTOMER database and CUSTOMER_coded database. The goal is to find out if there are any columns missing in each table of CUSTOMER_coded database.
We need the list of tables in CUSTOMER_coded database that misses some column compare to its peer in CUSTOMER database (list of columns being missing also).
I googled, but I get only all the columns in tables of database.
I need missing columns of all the tables when we compare these 2 databases( CUSTOMER and CUSTOMER_coded databases).
I want to write SQL that will search the tables in a database for a specific column, like this. For instance, I have a column "Unique_ID" that is in many of our tables (hundreds) but not in others and want to find out the tables it is in. It is always the first column.
I tried to find a system stored procdure to do this but couldn't and tried to create a script using the sysobjects and syscolumns tables in the Master db, but came to a roadblock because they don't seem to be related at all.
I would surely appreciate if someone else has already done this!
Thanks!
