I am executing this query against SqlCE in Sql Server 2005 Management Studio.
What is the way to rename a column in a table along with its datatype.
Thanks
I am using the compact edition on a desktop using VS2005 as well as SQL Server Management Studio. None of those tools allow me to rename a column or rename a table. Can someone point me a tool the runs on the desktop (as opposed to running on a CE device) that allows me to do the renaming?
Thanks
Is there a way to bulk remove spaces from column names from all tables in a db?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI tried to run this(below) the table is replicated(transactional).
EXECUTE
sp_rename N'dbo.Tablename.Columnname, N'New_Columnname', 'COLUMN'But getting this error message:
Msg 15051, Level 11, State 1, Procedure sp_rename, Line 227
Cannot rename the table because it is published for replication.
I want to alter my all tables to change the name of all columns.
I need this because all column names were created with space and I want to remove the space for future work .
For example – In Table Customer there is a column name [Cust_Id ] and I want to change it with [Cust_Id]
Example, suppose you have these 2 tables(NOTE: My example is totally different, but I'm simply trying to setupthe a simpler version, so excuse the bad design; not the point here)CarsSold {CarsSoldID int (primary key)MonthID intDealershipID intNumberCarsSold int}Dealership {DealershipID int, (primary key)SalesTax decimal}so you may have many delearships selling cars the same month, and youwanted a report to sum up totals of all dealerships per month.select cs.MonthID,sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) as 'TotalCarsSoldInMonth',sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) * d.SalesTax as 'TotalRevenue'from CarsSold csjoin Dealership d on d.DealershipID = cs.DealershipIDgroup by cs.MonthIDMy question is, is there a way to achieve something like this:select cs.MonthID,sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) as 'TotalCarsSoldInMonth',TotalCarsSoldInMonth * d.SalesTax as 'TotalRevenue'from CarsSold csjoin Dealership d on d.DealershipID = cs.DealershipIDgroup by cs.MonthIDNotice the only difference is the 3rd column in the select. Myparticular query is performing some crazy math and the only way I knowof how to get it to work is to copy and past the logic which isgetting out way out of hand...Thanks,Dave

I want to know how to select a Column without selecting a column name
View 6 Replies View RelatedFor example,I have a table "authors" with a column "author_name",and it has three value "Anne Ringer,Ann Dull,Johnson White".Here I want to create a new table by using a select sentence,its columns come from the values of the column "author_name".
can you tell me how can I complete this with the SQL?
Not sure if this is possible, but maybe. I have a table that contains a bunch of logs.
I'm doing something like SELECT * FROM LOGS. The primary key in this table is LogID.
I have another table that contains error messages. Each LogID could have multiple error messages associated with it. To get the error messages.
When I perform my first select query listed above, I would like one of the columns to be populated with ALL the error messages for that particular LogID (SELECT * FROM ERRORS WHERE LogID = MyLogID).
Any thoughts as to how I could accomplish such a daring feat?
Is there a way to select a column number without knowing its name? For example I want to select column 3 of a file without knowing it is:
Select [column 3] FROM OPENROWSET ('MSDASQL', 'Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)};
DefaultDir=D:ReportsTest;','select * from Report.txt ')
How do I get all the entries in a column, but make it so that there is only one occurance of each unique item.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHere is the code.
SELECT info1.categoria FROM (
SELECT DC2.categoria,count(DC2.ref) as quantidade
FROM Disco_Categoria as DC2
GROUP BY DC2.categoria
) as info1
WHERE info1.quantidade > 2 AND info1.categoria != ALL (
SELECT DC2.categoria FROM Encomenda_Disco as ED2 INNER JOIN Disco_Categoria as DC2
ON ED2.ref=DC2.ref
WHERE ED2.cod = 1 --ED.cod
)
What I'm trying to do is to check if a category doesn't exist for a specific delivery (Encomenda). After reading about the predicated ALL, I decided that it was to be used, but it isn't returning the expected result.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong (since probably I am ;)) but what I'm asking in the code is to compare info1.categoria with all results of DC2.Categoria to check if there is any match, returning true if there isn't any match at all.
It is just not doing it. Can someone please point me at the problem so I can solve this?
Thanks in advance.

I have a table with 100 column i want to select 99 column except one without writting name of all the 99 columns in the select statement.
Hi,
I have the following tables.
Code Block
CREATE TABLE [Liga] (
[cod_cliente] [varchar] (50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL ,
[tronco] [int] NULL ,
[nrtelefone] [varchar] (50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
1111 10 89543964
1111 9 32659841
1111 8 32569874
1111 7 25469874
CREATE TABLE [Lista] (
[cod_cliente] [varchar] (50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL ,
[troncos] [varchar] (50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
'1111' '8,10'
For this data what I need to do is return all rows from "Liga" that the value of the column Tronco is in troncos from the table Lista
So for example if I query this data the return would be
1111 8 32569874
1111 10 89543964
And so on...
How can I do that ?

View 1 Replies View Relatedhey everyone, everyone here has been extremely helpful, I'm extremely appreciative. i have another question if anyone has the time.I want to pull the value of one column/row into a string, i know this value to be one int or 1 word under 10 characters. I'd like to be able to use this variable as a conditional, so my if/else statements have information to work off of. I have been using the following format in by code-behind pages to do my SQL insert/update/delete - however I cannot figure out how to SELECT and get those results into a string. I'm new obviously, so dumbed-down explanation would be greatly appreciated!This is what I've used so far for working with my DB:using System;using System.Data;using System.Configuration;using System.Collections;using System.Web;using System.Web.Security;using System.Web.UI;using System.Web.UI.WebControls;using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls; protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { SqlDataSource profilesinsert = new SqlDataSource(); profilesinsert.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ProfilesConnectionString1"].ToString(); profilesinsert.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text; profilesinsert.InsertCommand = "INSERT INTO ProfileComments (Approved) VALUES (@Approved)"; profilesinsert.InsertParameters.Add("Approved", "yes"); profilesinsert.Insert(); } The SELECT into a string I'd like to do on page_load, so that I can test that variable upon button click, and have a different value in "Approved" depending on the 1 int or small word result from my SELECT.THANK YOU very much to anyone who offers help! love you guys :)
View 19 Replies View RelatedI'm building a textbox with search functionality towards SQL 2000.
The textbox is to include various search phrases, like "phrase1 phrase2 phrase3". Sort of like search engines where all words are considered. Do keep in mind that it's SQL2000 and not 2005. I've got all the strings I want to perform the search against in one column but various values in this column.
The only thing I've come up with is to create "WHERE columnName LIKE @phrase1 OR columnName LIKE @phrase2" where I inject % as apropiate and chop up the string, but I'm hoping this is not the solution because it doesn't seem really clean (with 10 search words) and today I'm not having a 'bad-hack' day so I want it better.
Whats is the best way of doing this?
Cheers!
