Hi,
i just migrated an database from oracle to sql server 2005 with the migration tool from microsoft (v3). the migration tool works only with uppercase table and column names, but i need them in lower case. is there a way to modify the names of tables and columns with t-sql to lower case?
Thx

i need to develop a stored procedue, in ehich i have to use variable table name.. as Select * from @tableName but i m unable to do so..
it says u need to define @tablename
heres da code
CREATE PROCEDURE validateChildId

@childId int,
@tableName varchar(50),
@fid int output
)
AS
(
SELECT @fid=fid FROM @tableName
where @childId= childId

Does anyone know the syntax to reference a table in a stored procedure using a parameter? I'm trying to make a stored procedure that will "SELECT INTO" a table as the passed parameter. I keep getting an syntax error when I use this:
CREATE PROCEDURE make_table
@tablename varchar(20)
AS
SELECT * FROM old_table
INTO @tablename
I've tried it several ways, but I can't get it to work, and I haven't found any examples of this anywhere. Thanks in advance for any tips.
Hi,
What is the difference between
<Tablename> . . <ColumnName> and <Tablename> . <ColumnName>
this syntax we are using in Storedprocedures.
In SQL 2000, <Tablename> . . <ColumnName> is not working
Eg:
Tablename =a
Column Name = b
Difference between a..b and a.b
Can anyone let me know.
TIA,
Ravi
I know there has already been a thread on this, but I want to push some about it.
In SQL Server, there is a command "SET IDENTITY_INSERT tablename ON".
That allows you to update IDENTITY columns, or do INSERTs that include IDENTITY columns. Although a work-around was given for this in the other thread (reset the IDENTITY seed to the desired value before each INSERT), that is a major pain.
In my database, I have a table that tracks charitable donors. They have a donornum, that is an IDENTITY column, and a year. Together, the donornum and the year form the primary key. Each year end, a copy is made of all donor records in one year, to form the next year's donors. They have to keep the same donornum, but they get a new year value of course. Adding new donors uses the donornum normally, incrementing the IDENTITY donornum value.
The advantage of this is that you can match up one year's donors with the previous year's, by joining on donornum. But I need there to be separate records, so they can have separately updated addresses, annual pledge amounts, etc.
Is there any way the SET IDENTITY_INSERT feature can be added to SQL Everywhere, or some other approach can be found that is less laborious than the existing work-around? (The problem with it is that if you have hundreds of donors to copy, you have to do one ALTER TABLE to reset the identity seed for each donor insert for the new year.)
Thanks.
I use IDENTITY(1,1)
and the help says:
SET IDENTITY_INSERT tablename ON
But if the table is an variable(virtual) table how to make it work?
Like this:
DECLARE @TEMPtable table ( ID int Identity(1,1), invar nvarchar(255)
It does not work with
SET IDENTITY_INSERT @TEMPtable ON
I get this
'Incorrect syntax near '@TEMPtable '

this mean that my table name query returned table name but i cant use this name in any other query (i think because of daclaring alias "insqlhelp, insqlhelp2")
other way is
set to any other text variable to table name,
and concetanate to query,
and execute with exec
but in this way you cant set to my int variable
please help me thanks for all

I am currently using a cursor to scroll through sysobjects to extract table names and then extracting relevant column names from syscolumns.
I then need to run the following script:
declare Detail_Cursor cursor for
select @colname, max(len(@colname)) from @table
The message I receive is "must declare variable @table".
Immediately prior to this script I printed out the result of @table which works fine so the variable obviously is declared and populated.
Can anyone let me know what I'm doing wrong or how I can get the same result.
Thanks

HiCan someone please shed some light as to how this can be done. With the below sql statement as you can see I don't want to declare the table name but would rather the table name be passed in via a parameter. I've tried declaring it as a varchar parameter but it doesnt seem to like it if I don't add a valid table name. Any ideas how this can be done. Thanks.select * from @tableName where condition = condition

Hi,
I am new to SQL Server, and this may be a silly problem .. but here goes!
I need to create tables based on the date ie FEB2000 for EOM reports, I thought I may be able to do it by
1) Check if Table Exists, if so fop it
2) Recreate Table
3) Populate it with data
Unfortunately I'm still on step 1 <sad look>
--->
CREATE PROCEDURE TEST AS
DECLARE @TableName varchar(50)
SET @Tablename = 'FEB2000'
IF EXISTS(SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_NAME = @Tablename)
DROP TABLE @tablename
GO
<---
I would of course hand the table name as a variable, but for testing purposes used a set variable.
Thanks in Advance
Hi All,
I am facing a unique problem, In my DB all tables which has nvarchar datatype columns. When i see any table in EM design mode it shows length of navrchar datatype column correct.
But if i see same table through QA using sp_help tablename

when i see all my nvarchar columns in syscolumns it will display the length of my nvarchar columns just double then actual.
i dont know where exactly the problem. Because of that my tester are getting wrong table information through my data dictionary whic i created using sysobects,syscolumns,sysproperties.
can anybody tell where is the problem exaqctly ?

I have read through BOL but am still confused by the above sql. I think it rebuilds all indexes on a table. Am I correct? (If so, if would seem to be a good thing to run it nightly on all tables in all databases. Or maybe that is too extreme)

Hi everyone,
I'm using a stored procedure in SQL Server to generate multiple recordsets. The recordset are however generated conditionally. create procedure GetData

I am doing a mass update of our SQL script files by adding dbo.to all references to the tables.The code is also adding dbo. in front of existing lines of codethat are like this:SELECT CLIENT.FIRSTNAME,CLIENT.LASTNAMEFROM CLIENT....The mass update is causing this to become:SELECT dbo.CLIENT.FIRSTNAME,dbo.CLIENT.LASTNAMEFROM dbo.CLIENT....My goal is to see FROM dbo.CLIENTbut even the column names are getting the "dbo."added, so my question is if there's any performanceloss or any other side effect if I end up all my columnswith a preceeding "dbo."?Thank you

After I retrieve data from the database, I need to do a lot of computation befor I build a paper quote that is emailed to a customer. I have written a subroutine to which I pass my sql query statement and I can add a new entry and edit an existing entry. The problem is a simple query to read an existing database entry.
If I write a simple command : Cmd = SELECT PartNumber, PartName, PartsAvailable FROM Inventory WHERE PartNumber = "P7226" , the command is executed but the return data falls on the floor somewhere as I dont know how to code to put the results in an array or in fact, have any idea on how to find the returned data. Can anyone help with this simple(?) problem? My sub that handles the sql command is shown below.
