I'm using the following syntax to extract a list of all the table names on a linked server:
EXEC sp_tables_ex
@table_server = MY_SERVER_NAME
It outputs a list of tables into 4 columns in the result window.Is there a way an can use this as a 'SELECT * FROM ... " command so that I can organize records, insert into, etc etc ?
I am using the following select statement to get the row count from SQL linked server table.
SELECT Count(*) FROM OPENQUERY (CMSPROD, 'Select * From MHDLIB.MHSERV0P')
MHDLIB is the library name in IBM DB2 database. The above query gives me only the row count of table MHSERV0P. However, I need to get the names, rowcounts, and sizes of all tables that exist in MHDLIB librray. Is it possible at all?
I was trying to figure out what the OPENQUERY Syntax is to Insert into SQL Server Table from Oracle Linked Server.

Maybe anyone have done that before?
I have table where i store SOURCE_TABLE_NAME and DESTINATION_TABLE_NAME, there is about 120+ tables.
i need make SSIS package which selects SOURCE_TABLE_NAME from source ole db, and loads it to DESTINATION_TABLE_NAME in destination ole db.
I made such SSIS package. set ole db source data access mode to table or view name variable.
set ole db destination data access mode to table or view name variable. set to variables defoult values (names of existing tables)
but when i loop table names is changed, it reports error, that can map columns, becouse in new tables is different columns.
how to solve that problem?
I know it is basics, just slipped out of my mind, How do we list or print the columns names of table in sql server 2000.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn our application we are copying data between 2 sqlserver databases using linked server. Say, sqlserver1 is source and sqlserver2 is destination, then, our application will be on sqlserver2 box and will copy data from sqlserver1 to sqlserver2.
User also need to choose from which database of sqlserver1, the data need to be copied. This data is our application data.. Nothing related to sqlserver database.
We are using the following query, to get the database names of the source sqlserver..
SELECT * FROM <linked server to dest db>.master.sys.databases
My questions is : is this query generic enough that works on all sqlserver versions?
Is the master database name of sqlserver configurable or its alwasys fixed as "master"?
If I have stored procedures that reference linked servers, is there any way to avoid changing the procedures when moving between environments (dev, qa, prod)?
Do i resort to dynamic sql? Use case statements to switch between environments?
Any experience or advice is appreciated.

I am designing a package to export staging tables into a flat file.The names of the tables will be: TableAStaging_YYYYMM and TableBStaging_YYYYMM. As you can see the names of the tables will be changing each month.
The flat files will have similar naming: C:MyPathFlatFileTableAStaging__YYYYMM and C:MyPathFlatFileTableAStaging__YYYYMM.I want to run the package as an sql job in two steps, one for each table.I need to dynamically pass the table names and file names (together with the path) to the IS package.
Hi
I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how we could find the table names and column names of the tables in our Sql server database at runtime/dynamically given our connection string? Please let me know.
Thanks.

In my TSQL code i use a derived table to extract the value of account 321 to compare if they are the same that the SUM of my line invoice cost multiply by quantity line : Sum(fi.ecusto*qtt)
This is my script:
SELECT ft.ndoc [Doctype],ft.fno [Docnr] , Sum(fi.ecusto*qtt) [totalcostof my Invoiceline], xctb.conta [accountancy account],
sum(Case when ft.tipodoc = 1 then Xctb.ecre else Xctb.edeb end) as [Value of Cost of invoice in accountancy],
[DIF] = Sum(fi.ecusto*qtt) - Sum(Case when ft.tipodoc = 1 then xctb.ecre else xctb.edeb end)
[Code] ....
My problem is if i have more than on line on my invoice, for example 2 lines, the value of column [Value of Cost of invoice in accountancy] are duplicated, for 3 line invoice the value are multiply by 3.

How to list all the dimension and fact column names with mdx or tsql query...
I am using SQL Server 2005 and trying to create a linked server on Oracle 10. I used the commands below:
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'test1',
@srvproduct = 'Oracle',
@provider = 'MSDAORA',
@datasrc = 'testsource'
exec sp_addlinkedsrvlogin
@rmtsrvname = 'test1',
@useself = 'false',
@rmtuser='sp',
@rmtpassword='sp'
When I execute
select * from test1...COUNTRY
I get the error. "The OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server "...." does not contain the table "COUNTRY". The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table."
The 'sp' user I am connecting is the owner of the table. What could be the problem ?
Thanks a lot.
Hi,
Is there any way to group variables present in a select statement.
My code:
SELECT @var1=something, @var2=something_else
FROM ...
GROUP BY @var1
I wanted to group by 'something' hence I used a variable to assign it to. But I'm unable to group it.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

I have a scenario where I need to move a series of files from within a directory of many files. The files follow no nameing convention and are more of less random. However the file names never change from week to week. I tried various different options in a 'file system task', no go.
Any ideas on how to move only a list of files?
or
can I load only specific files into a 'Foreach Loop container' from a certain directory. I tried delimiting file names in the file source, that did not work.
Either way can work,
Thanks

We're currently trying to evaluate SQLJDBC 2005 1.1 June CTP's support for database mirroring automatic failover. Unfortunately we're getting unexpected exceptions for calls that work fine w/ jtds that our blocking our ability to perform these evaluations without us making substantial changes to our codebase.
The first issue is with the name used when calling a stored procedure -- SP names that start with "dbo." give us the following error:
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Incorrect syntax near '.'. src:{call dbo.xyz(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)}
The call will work if we change the SQL statement to {call xyz(...)}. I don't understand why we would need to do this, especially given that the documentation for the driver shows call statements with the "dbo." prefix.
We're also having problems using named parameters with stored procedures (for both in and out parametes). Our code has parameter names of the form "@param" as is standard with TSQL (and is required when using jtds). However, this won't work with SQLJDBC -- it only seems to accept parameter names w/o the leading "@". Why is this so?
Finally, we were able to cause a NullPointerException within the driver due to an incorrectly built Properties object that contained an Integer for loginTimeout instead of a String:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.util.Hashtable.put(Hashtable.java:396)
at java.util.Properties.setProperty(Properties.java:128)
at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver.fixupProperties(Unknown Source)
at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver.mergeURLAndSuppliedProperties(Unknown Source)
at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver.connect(Unknown Source)
While this was due to a bug in our code I would think that such common errors would be better handled.

Strange one here - I am posting this in both SQL Server and Access forums
Access is telling me it can't append any of the records due to a key violation.
The query:
INSERT INTO dbo_Colors ( NameColorID, Application, Red, Green, Blue )
SELECT Colors_Access.NameColorID, Colors_Access.Application, Colors_Access.Red, Colors_Access.Green, Colors_Access.Blue
FROM Colors_Access;
Colors_Access is linked from another MDB and dbo_Colors is linked from SQL Server 2000.
There are no indexes or foreign contraints on the SQL table. I have no relationships on the dbo_ table in my MDB. The query works if I append to another Access table. The datatypes all match between the two tables though the dbo_ tables has two additional fields not refrenced in the query.
I can manually append the records using cut and paste with no problems.
I have tried re-linking the tables.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Brad
