but i have a result with the message that my colum name distance_total is wrong, so how can i fix that?
We are thinking of using general purpose column names in our application schema. We want to give the option to the end user to customize the filed names to fit their business . We want to build the functionality on the generic names so that it will work for multiple customes.
Example: We may want to have 10 Strings, 10 numbers and 5 booleans pre defined and reports running off of the table. The customer can name first number as pressure, second one for length and map their data to the table. Other customer can use the first number for temperature and the second one for width.
Is there a way to do it in SQL server w/o having a lookup table for column name aliasing?

HI, how can i drop the identity on a column from the table. I have no access to the sql enterprise manager, i have to do it thru query analyser only. regards, varadish
i have a problem, i have a query which does a search based on a parameter, thing is i want to order them according to how relevant the results are such as 5 for beingan exact match, 0 for being no match. using a series of liek statements.
so that the most relevnat results are displayed at the top.
how do i achieve this - im a bit confused about this.
I have about 5 statements like the update below, depending on the PID different columns will be update "C2005, G2005,E2005...."
I would like to use 1 update statement in stead of 5 to update all columns below are 2 original update statements and my attempt at when then update. Note a different column is updated depending on the PID.
If when then isnt possible, any other suggestions are welcomed. Thanks UPDATE #Sec SET C2005 = Pos.USD / 1000 FROM #Sec INNER JOIN Pos ON #Sec.ID = Pos.ID WHERE (Pos.PID = 'B')
UPDATE #Sec SET G2005 = Pos.USD / 1000 FROM #Sec INNER JOIN Pos ON #Sec.ID = Pos.ID WHERE (Pos.PID = 'G')
UPDATE #Sec WHEN (Pos.PID = 'C') THEN SET C2005 = Pos.USD / 1000 end WHEN (Pos.PID = 'G') THEN SET G2005 = Pos.USD / 1000 end WHEN (Pos.PID = 'E') THEN SET E2005 = Pos.USD / 1000 end FROM #Sec INNER JOIN Pos ON #Sec.ID = Pos.ID

In SQL7, if you add a column to a table, is it necessary to recompile all stored procs that reference that table? Under 6.5, this caused problems at our site unless the Procs were 'refreshed'. Is this only necessary where select * is used? Thanks

THe unique Id column is set to identity seed. Yet when transfering 1500 records it fails to stuff them all becuase it says there is a NULL in unique id column. "Cannot insert the value NULL into column UID column does not allow" Yet in the transformation screen I am setting the UID column to <ignore> meaning I do not have that value in my source and I am wanting the destination table to do it's thing and incrememnt by 1 the identity seed. Is this common? THe source and destination tables are in the same databes.
Hi all,We're selecting data from our database, FirstName, LastName, MobileNumber etc.We're using the detaials view function to return it in a table upon selection. However all of the variables are returned as they are in the database, ie: without spaces. We tried putting in spaces by selecting "AS what ever", but MSSQL does not seem to like spaces.Any ideas?Thanks

I have a complex view in my sql 2005 database. The view returns a column that could be null (as the result of a left outer join). The coulmn that is returned is an integer. Everything works fine if I run the view from SQL 2005 Management Studio. My column value is always null if I use ADO.NET's SqlAdapter to return a DataTable. Has anybody seen this behaviour before? Any help appreciated. Regards, Paul.
I like to define my procedure parameter type to match a referenced table colum type, similar to PL/SQL "table.column%type" notation. That way, when the table column is changes, I would not have to change my stored proc. Any suggestion?

HI, We upgraded to SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition for our ASP.NET 2.0 website. We were using SQL Server Express 2005. That worked fine. Now we are unable to connect to the database. I have googled, but I just cann't figure out what is going on. Any help is appreciated. Here is the error. An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) In our firewall sqlbrowser.exe and sqlservr.exe are allowed. Thanks Matt
Ok I'm trying to connect to my easycgi.com MSSQL database.I can connect OK.My ID is in the db_owner group.I can create and edit tables and data.I can open a table and see the data.I can view the SQL statement behind the open table (select * from Table) and execute it successfully.But if I open a new query window and type "select * from [table]" (or any other query), no matter which table it is, I get an error:Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Invalid object name '[table name]'.I've searched the web and found this error plenty of times, usually associated with security or the schema. But all my objects are under dbo and I'm in db_owner... ???
When trying to connect to a remote SQL 2005 Express Server, I get this error message: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (ParseConnectParams()).]Invalid connection. I can remotely connect to the server with the same username and password using osql in command and I can also connect to the server remotely with SQL Server Management Studio installed on this machine. Here is my connection string: Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Password=password;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=uid;Initial Catalog=EBM;Data Source=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxSQLEXPRESS;Use Encryption for Data=False The same connection string works if connecting locally, via changing the ip address to the machine name: Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Password=password;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=uid;Initial Catalog=EBM;Data Source=machinenameSQLEXPRESS;Use Encryption for Data=False

I have checked the table and the columns do exist, spelled correctly and caps are all the same. Also, this same SP in another table works just fine.
Hey everyone, hope you all can help me with this problem. We have a remotely hosted website, but we have a SQL server in our company (powers our instore portal). I have set up our router so that i can connect to remote desktop and sql server. I can connect to the remote desktop and i can connect to the sql server with query analyzer. On our local site i can set up a connection to look at sqlserver.underpargolfutah.org and it works fine, everything goes well. Now here is the problem.

Can anyone tell me why I get the above message using the following stored procedure and passing in a value of 120: CREATE Procedure qryAnalysisCountMain (@WizardGroup1Question int) As EXEC("SELECT QuestionDescription FROM Questions WHERE QuestionCode = " + @WizardGroup1Question)
120 just happens to be the asci value of 'x' and whatever number I pass in gets converted into it's character equivalent and the sp tells me it can't find that column name. QuestionCode is an int field so there is no problem there
The procedure works OK with: SELECT QuestionDescription FROM Questions WHERE QuestionCode = @WizardGroup1Question
However I need the SQL in an EXEC as the sp will eventually be dynamic so that i can pass in the name of the table to select from.
Hi I have a dynamic select statement which is showed below. declare @query varchar(100) set @query = 'select * from undergraduate where Gender =' + @Gender exec (@query)
// When I execute the @query, I get an error message like "Invalid Column Name Male". I think I need to put a single quotation around the dynamic variable, so that I have select * from undergraduate where Gender ='Male'. But I am not sure how to do that.
