SQL 2005 Database Design (Table Names)

Apr 14, 2006

In the past, we had table names such as:
PurchaseOrders
SalesOrders

Now with SQL 2005, you can use schema namespaces, so it could become:
Purchasing.Orders
Sales.Orders

So essentially you can use exactly the SAME table names, in different schemas.

So... would you recommend to change to the last model, or just stay with the old way?
What is best practice?



One of the reasons why I ask this question is that I looked at the AdventureWorks sample database included with SQL Server 2005, and Microsoft is using:

Sales.SalesOrderDetail
Purchasing.PurchaseOrderDetail
etc...

Why not:
Sales.OrderDetail
Purchasing.OrderDetail
etc...

????????

Jul 31, 2007



The table tA contains (here I m using storedprocedure to return the values as columns varchar(8000))

ID LocationName

1 Door

2 FrontCounter



The number of records may vary like sometimes it have 2 or 3 or 4 or more records

So I have to return row values as column name.



tAChild
POSID storeID tAID Auth

1 140 1 true

1 140 2 false





Result Should be like ( to create this I m using SP with Dynamic sql query to create temp table)

POSID storeID Door Window

1 140 true true


if more records in tA it should append in the end of result as new column...

Is this the above is right way to implement ?any other ideas about this...
Please suggest me......

DB Design :: Getting The List Of Database Names From Remote Server?

Nov 2, 2015

In 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"?

DB Mirroring: Different Server Names With Same Instance Names

Jan 31, 2008

I'm going to be setting up DB mirroring between two SQL Server 2005 boxes. Since these are on two different servers, can the instance names be the same? Is there any reason NOT to do so if the mirror server is going to be used exclusively for DB mirroring?

For example: if the my primary DB is located on SERVER1INSTANCE1, can the mirror be SERVER2INSTANCE1 or do the instance names have to be different even though they're on different boxes.

Thanks!

SQL Server 2008 :: How To Delete Tables In Database Whose Table Names Match A Criteria

Jul 22, 2015

The database has approx. 2500 temporary tables. The temp tables match a pattern such as APTMP... I tried deleting the tables in SSMS with the statement, Delete from Information_Schema.tables where substring(table_name,1,5) = 'APTMP' This returns the error message"Ad hoc updates to system catalogs are not allowed".

What is the correct way to delete a group of tables whose name match a pattern from within SSMS?

SQL Security :: Server Won't Start After Mistyped System Database Names When Moving Them To New Location

Apr 24, 2015

I'm using SQL Server 2012 and was attempting to move the msdb, model, and tempdb databases to a new location and accidentally gave their log files an mdf extension instead of ldf when providing the new pathfilename.  After the server wouldn't start I checked my script and noticed my error.  I have good backups of my system databases, so I was hoping to start the MSSQLSERVER service in single-user mode (using the -m startup parameter) and then just restore master using sqlcmd. 

Unfortunately the service was starting but I couldn't connect via sqlcmd using any of the three protocols (it said the server was not found or not accessible each time).  I also tried using the dedicated Admin connection but I got the same error.  Then I went into the Templates folder and copied the master, msdb, model, and tempdb templates into the DATA folder and tried to restart SQL Server but still no luck (now the MSSQLSERVER service won't start at all).  Is there an easy way to fix this mess without having to reinstall from the setup application?

Server Names Or Instance Names

Aug 3, 2006

Hello there. I'm trying to populate a drop down box with a list of all available instances of SQL server (express or not) available on a network. To list all instances I'm using EnumAvailableServers() in SmoApplication.

The issue is that the Instance column in the returned data table is always empty, and both the Name and the Server columns contain the same string -- the name of the computer the SQL server is installed. Locally I have SSE installed, the instance name is <computer_name>SQLEXPRESS, however, using Smo I can't seem to get to the either full instance name or just the instance name. I can't assume SQLEXPRESS, since there may be more than one installed.

Alternately I used EnumRegisteredServers() in SmoApplication.SqlServerRegistrations and that, while returning instance information (can be retrieved from the RegisteredServer in the returned collection), doesn't always return the remote SQL servers in the list.

Any idea how can this be done? Maybe I'm going at it the wrong way, maybe there's another class / method I need to use to retrieve all instances?

Thank you

Sql Server 2005 Compact Edition 3.1 RDA Synchronization Fails On Table With Index In Sql Server 2005 Database

Jan 21, 2008

We have been using Sql Server 2005 Compact Edition 3.1 RDA synchronization method successfully on Sql Server 2000 database. Recently we moved the database to Sql Server 2005, sync doesn't work anymore, it just hangs on one table. On further investigation, we found out that it's the index on that table that causes this. We removed the index, it works fine. We are wondering the root cause, removing the index is not a solution for us. Any thoughts?. Thanks.

Sql Database Names?

Feb 2, 2006

just starting with sql server, thru the sql express edition, before i get to far wondering if it is ok to use the same database names, specifically the ASPNetDB.mdf in different web applications, or will this cause problems down the line,

ie will have different web site applications running on IIS and want to use the aspnet_regsl wizard,

also wondering if this has any implicaitons when publishing web application to web servers, are any of the local sql express server settings passed on to the web host provider, read about machine.config and if i understand i should put all the settings in the web.config file via the VS20005 ide.

also will it cause any problem inside the sql express magement console,

Spaces In SQL 7 Database Names

Mar 7, 2000

Hey all,

Hope I can get some help here.

Have a view that has to reference a table in another database on the same server. This isn't the problem. I am just using Databasename..tablename in the from statement. Get the results required in testing.

The problem is that in production the table name has a space character. i.e. 'accounting info' would be the table name. I have not been able to figure out the proper syntax to capture this properly to reference in the from statement.

I have tried enclosing the name in ' ', " ", [], (), {} and just about every combination I can come up with.

Any help in this would be great, and changing the databse name isn't an option at this time.

Thanx,
Chris

Integration Services :: Chinese Names Export To CSV - Garbled Names

Aug 11, 2015

As part if a recent requirement I have to export Chinese/Singaporean names in a CSV file. The data in the tables is a NVARCHAR(256).

I am using a FlatFile Connection manager where all the present columns from the table are exported as NVARCHARs. My understanding was that the Chinese/Singaporean names would blend seamlessly with NVARCHARs in place. But, they get garbled when pushed to the CSV.

Here is the connection manager setup

There are a lot of suggestions of fixing this by copying/pasting to a notepad file and changing the formatting... But I cant do that since the file is generated using a schedules SSIS package. How can I tweak the process to fix the issue?

Exporting/Importing Database Data (Sql Server 2005 To Sql Server 2005)

Nov 5, 2007

I'm really new to the whole database deal (as well as VB.net) - specifically with the capabilities surrounding VB and SQL Server 2005. My question is open to any recommendations...

What I have is an application that a user uses to create 'new' products. They are presented a form to enter the information regarding the product they wish to create. They enter the details of the product and also locate an image that represents the product, too. Currently, this application saves the product information (including binary image data) into a SQL Server 2005 Express Edition database. This application and database reside on a client pc. What I need to do is to be able save updated and newly created product data into a file of some sort. That file will make its way to a memory stick (USB) and then be transported to a 'field' machine. Quite simply, what is the best way to do this? Are there walk-throughs on this sort of thing? The target database is also SQL Server 2005. I thought I'd post this question on here to get the best design ideas... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Getting Table Names From AdventureWorks Database

Apr 24, 2008

Hello,
I have ran into a problem when i'm getting table names in c#.
I have tried the sql command:
select name from sysobjects where type='U' order by name
So it returns the names without a problem. But when I try to access to some tables using their names (to retrieve the columns) I sometimes get the error "Invalid object name" following by the name of the table.
So I realized the if the table was not under dbo user then i would get this error.
for example: "select name from ContactCreditCard"
 gives me error because in database management tool it is shown like this: Sales.ContactCreditCard
How can i fix this problem? How to get that prefix of the tables?
 
Thank you,

Purging Deleted Database Names

Jul 1, 2002

When connecting to an SQL Server (v7 in this case) the log file shows that old and deleted databases are still being opened as part of the process. Further, these db names are now reserved and cannot be reused, even thought I've deleted them.

Is there any way I can purge all traces of these deleted db names?

You might have guessed, I'm a newbie, which is why there are a few dozen deleted DBs.

Thanks for any help

Database Tables And User Names

Jan 26, 2007

We have recently copied a database from one machine to another. On the old machine, when we access the tables we do not need to use the username.tablename convention to query them. On the new box we do.

For example, to query a table called Page we would nee to do this on the new box.

SELECT *
FROM webdev.page

unfortunately all the code is written, without the username prefix. Is there a way to not use the username prefix?

Thank you for your help...sorry for the newbie type question.
