HI all,
I need to understand a little bit more about SQL Server built in tables. For example in Oracle if I need to check for tables names under one database. The query will be something like this:
Select table_name from user_tables;
Or to get column_name and table_names:
Select column_name, table_name from user_tab_columns;
How can I do this in sql server 7?
I know there is a table called sysobjects. The sysobject will give me all the objects in the database but how can I specify wether its a table or a column. More over can someone refer me a good book for sql server 7. Both development and administration.
Thank you in advance!!!!

Due to architectural changes in SQL Server 7.0, you cannot dump the transaction log if a database's system tables are inaccessible (due to media failure, for instance)in 7.0 and later versions. Microsoft recommends that separate devices be used for system tables and user tables to allow a final log backup to take place in the event the data device is inaccessible. The additional exposure incurred by not doing this is possible loss of data for the interval between the last transaction dump and the point of failure.
Hi,I have a few things on my databases which seem to be neither true systemobjects or user objects - notably a table called 'dtproperties' (createdby Enterprise manager as I understand, relating to relationship graphingor something) and some stored procs begining with "dt_" (some kind ofsource control stuff, possible visual studio related). These show up whenI use"exec sp_help 'databaseName'"but not in Ent. Mgr. or in Query Analyzer's object browser, and also notin a third party tool I use called AdeptSQL. I am wondering how thosetools know to differentiate between these types of quasi-system objects,and my real user data. (This is for the purpose of a customized schemagenerator I am writing). I'd prefer to determine this info with systemstored procs (ie sp_help, sp_helptex, sp_...etc) but will dip into thesystem tables if needed.Thanks,Dave
I need to calculate the Time for the different Time Zone by reading the window time zone registry entries, This is the Code using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using Microsoft.Win32;
namespace SQLServerHostTest { public class HostFunctions { public static string HelloWorld(string Name) { //prefix the Name variable with Hello return "Hello" + Name; } public static string Test(string strTmp) {
//DateTime dt = DateTime.Now; //strTmp = dt.ToShortDateString(); Registry.CurrentUser.DeleteSubKey(strTmp, false); return "This is Test Message" + strTmp; }
} }
I used the following script to create the Assembly in SQL 2005

We are facing a problem with compact framework 1.0 and SQL CE on windows mobile 5.0 smart phone (Motorola Q).
The application was build for Windows Mobile 5.0. When we use €śSystem.Data.SQLServerCE.dll€? from €śC:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8SmartDevicesSDKSQL ServerMobilev3.0€? in compact framework 2.0 it works fine.
Since Motorola Q has .Net Compact Framework 1.0 we need to port same application to compact framework 1.0. There is similar DLL in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8SmartDevicesSDKSQL ServerMobilev2.0" but it is not working, it gives runtime error missing method at very first line of code SqlCeEngine _eng = new SqlCeEngine().
Hello, SQL Server 2000 services getting stoped automatically when system get reboot. When system reboot they started and after 5 minutes they were getting stoped. I went through the event log file and found that an error is occuring in sql server with number 17148.
And I also observed that there is a file called "C : P r o g r a m F i l e s V E R I T A S B a c k u p E x e c N T b e n g i n e . e x e" is executing during the maintenance process,which is stopping the sql server services(agent and olap)
This problem is generating error in sql server with above mentioned number.
In Windows Server 2003 SP1 (x86) with Sql Server 2000 I could use the following connectionstring no problem DSN=Hello;
Now I am using Windows Server 2003 x64 and SQL 2005 and I get this error: Provider is not specified and there is no designated default provider.
If i try Provider=MSDASQL;DSN=Hello; i get Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed.
for DSNless this works fine: Provider=sqloledb;driver={sql server};server=(local);database=Hello;uid=sa;pwd=p wd;
but i am forced to use DSN as it is in a closed source application which uses set DSNs (the idea there being that you can change the connections how you like in ODBC)
This means that i need the ODBC provider name that will work in here: Provider=...;DSN=Hello;
and then to use whatever works in there as the "default provider" but i cannot find any information anywhere on how to do this!
Any time you try to run a report now it crashes trying to create or find a temp file in a wierd path... exception is below... this happens for any request to the report server at all! all we changed was we removed a drive that was no longer used on the server! This path doesnt even exist! any idea where this path is stored or how to fix it? thanks!

I want to know where I can find Object permission detailes, For example I have table1 and user "abc", I have given permission to user "abc" for table1 to "SELECT" "INSERT", "UPDATE", I want to know where this detail is stored in system table. I was looking at "SYSUSERS","SYSLOGINS", "SYSPERMISSIONS", "SYSMEMBERS", "SYSOBJECTS" I couldn't find anything, If some one can post your answers that will be great.
I have succesffuly BCP out system tables(sysdatabases, sysdevices, syslogins, and sysusages). Now I want to BCP those same tables IN to create devices, databases and so on using the BCP utility. I run the same command used to BCP out and only changes the OUT to IN but it did not work. Can somebody whose done this before tell me how to do it.
Where can I find a discussion of how to interpret the keys1 and keys2 columns of the sysindexes table? These columns are binary(255) and are supposed to contain a description of the columns to which the index applies. I also need to know how to interpret the status column of the sysconstraints column.

I'm doing an impact analysis to see what views / stored procedures etc are impacted by a change to columns in a table. I'm using the system tables to identify these changes, and it is something that I'll have to repeat across all our databases in case the tables are being accessed from elsewhere.
I'd like to make sure I'm doing it the right way so could someone point me in the direction of a good article or code for doing this.
I dont want to see these at all and cannot find where tospecify a view or modification of a view. can someone throw me abone here and tell me where to make the adjustments if I can make themat allMichael
I have created a linked server XYZ that is linked to server ABC. I am tying to view the tables via XYZ but I'm unable to do so. I can only see the system tables. When I run a select statement, I get the correct results. That means I have the access to the tables, yet why am I not able to see the tables.
I need to keep track of changes (delete/modify) in sysusers table. SQL Books Online mentionend that SQL Server 7.0 doesn't support trigger on system tables. What options do I have?
after upgrade sql from 6.5 to 7.0 , there are some new system table in system database , all are begin with sysremote_.... such as sysremote_tables, i can not find any information about them , does anyone know what these tables for and whether these tables will affect the new sql7.0 application database ?
I've recently installed MSQL Server 7.0 Standart Version and every time I create a new database, system tables are created and are visible also. That means, I instantely get 18 tables, 20 views, 18 stored procedures and so on. Can I hide them??? I mean, my tables are all mixed with the system tables. If I can hide all the system tables and views and so on please tell me! Thanks.
I'm thinking of building a trigger against a system table(sysobjects) in database(a) on server(a) that will assist me in updating a table in database(b)on server(b). What I need to know from table(b)is if a new table has been added and removed from database(a) on server(a). I want to use a store procedure to query the table(b). I was thinking of building a trigger against my sysobjects table that would update table(b) whenever any tables are added or removed from database(a). Has anyone built triggers against system tables? I am running SQL 7.
Does anyone know how to get the row count of a user table by using the system tables. There is no guarantee that these user tables will have any indexes - so I can not use the sysindexes table to count the rows in a clustered index.
I can't see the system tables when I try to pull them up in a linked table view from ACCESS or in a VIEW in SQL Server. I can't adjust my permissions to make them appear in any way that I have tried. Do you know how to do this?
