How would I best go about changing a published table's column from smallint to int? I could not find anything about it in BOL or MS.com. I do not think EM/Replication Properties allows the change. I suspect I have to run "Alter Table/Column" on the Publisher and each Subscriber the old-fashioned way. Is that true?
I'm pretty new to sql server and now I need to create a script that:
Compares the values of the row with the same id as the row with the update table(which has updated values in it) in which the price, description or replacement part have been changed.
If they did change they should be updated and if they haven't been changed nothing should happen...
Working on partitioning a few large tables. One of the tables included a text column and the €œTEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]€? clause which would prevent the partitioning of this table. After some research we found that the data was legacy and no longer used. We updated the column on the affected rows to NULLS and altered the column to a VARCHAR(20) When I attempted to run the ALTER TABLE SWITCH I encountered the error Msg 4947, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 ALTER TABLE SWITCH statement failed. There is no identical index in source table 'LocalDeltanet.dbo.testresultsjoe' for the index 'PKIDX_testSummary' in target table 'LocalDeltanet.dbo.testresults_part'. After a lot of grief and testing I determined that the message was bogus and the real issue is that the 'sys.tables' still has €œlob_data_space_id€? with a value of 1 for this table. I created a copy of the table with the text column altered to varchar and one with just the varchar to begin with. After copying data from the original table, I tried to run the alter switch. It failed once again for the text column altered to varchar table, but it worked for the varchar from the start.
Since it appears that this value is causing my issues, is there anyway to update the table in place. I know I can BCP the data out, but that would take too long and would defeat the advantage of using the alter switch method.
BOL States:
The allow updates option is still present in the sp_configure stored procedure, although its functionality is unavailable in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (the setting has no effect). In SQL Server 2005, direct updates to the system tables are not supported. This means we cannot update the table manually.
I have table with the following structure : ID Result1 Reusult2 NewResult1 NewResult2 FinalResult -1----10------6-----------7------------9---- -2----32------16----------32-----------16--- -3----12------2-----------1------------9---- -4----50------6-----------9------------7---- -5----90------9-----------90-----------9---- -6----18------2-----------3------------2----
My problem :
I want to compare each record in column Result1 and NewResult1,Result2 and NewResult2 Such as my above table : With ID=2 and ID=5 : I need to update column "Final Result" with value equal 1 ,otherwise any records with value equal zero. Conclusion : If ((Result1=NewResult1) and (Result2=NewResult2)) --> Final Result =1 else Other Records -->Final Result=0 How to write sql statement ? Thank you very much !
I have a table with some rows and columns what i want is i want to Show sum of particular column in the last row. This is my code.

My Requirement IS : 1<sup>st</sup>run: if the record does not exist in the table insert the record (file_name, last_modified_file_date) and create a copy in the archive folder with file_name_currentdate.csv
Daily run: retrieve the last_modified_file_date from the input file and check if the retrieved date is greater than the last_modified_file_date in the table:
If true: create a copy of the input file in the archive folder and update the last_modified_file_date in the table with the retrieved date
If false don’t do nothing because the file has been archived in one of the previous runs.I have already retrieving the modified date and File Nae iserting into Filename Table: (That table has 2 columns which are FileName and FileDate) so In script task everytime the variable getting Modified date(retrieve the last_modified_file_date from the input file). How I can Compre the existing table record and variable. I have already imported the all Filenames and Modified into table like below.

I had an issue that I ran across that I got solved but it was very monotonous. Here is my issue: I have an SQL function that takes in 2 parameters (lookup category and lookup code) and with those parameters is goes out and find the lookup code description. I have this function in about 40 computed columns. It isn€™t the best way to do things but we need it for some legacy stuff. The problem occurs when I need to make a change to that function. I can€™t because it is being reference by all of the tables. So what I have to do is go in to each of the tables and remove the function from the column formula. Then change the function and then finally add that function back to the column.
Here is what I did. I went to the syscolumn table to find all of the computer columns. I went to each of those columns and removed the formula and added it to a text document. Then I changed the function. I then wrote a stored procedure that would add the column back. ( I couldn't find a way to use the ALTER COLUMN to add the function so I had to drop and then add the column )
Here are the possible scenarios that I want to see if they are possible. 1) Somehow €œturn off€? the dependency between the function and the column. That way I can just update the function. OR 2) Programmatically grab the data from the column formula and write that some place and clear out the formula. Then update the function. Then finally take all of the data that was cleared out and write it back to the column.
I am writing a db conversion for a retail grocery chain. This chain uses pricing zones to designate what stores get a certain price
Example: Cheetos Zone A: $2.79 Zone B: $2.89
The pricing data in the tables is listed by zone. However, the new product uses pricing by store.
Zone A contains stores 1,2,4,6,7.... Zone B contains stores 10,11,12,14.....
I need to be able to duplicate the rows in a manner that I can take the row containing a price for Zone A and duplicate it for each store in the zone. I have a table of stores with corresponding zones.
So I'm looking to go from:
Zone UPC Price A 1234500000 2.79 B 1234500000 2.89

we have a table in our ERP database and we copy data from this table into another "stage"Â table on a nightly basis. is there a way to dynamically alter the schema of the stage table when the source table's structure is changed? in other words, if a new column is added to the source table, i would like to add the column to the stage table during the nightly refresh.
I am facing the problem with datatype conversions, the scenario is using derived column transformation for add additional columns and then later i am trying to impliment Slowly changing dimensions(SCM) in my job, while mapping the columns at SCM from Input to Output it gave the error like suppose if i am using the numeric(3,0) at SRC system then i converted it into single byte unsigned at derived column and it recognized at SCD but the job fail while run the package it gave the error as task can not able to conversted given data type to target system dtata type.. ifi am not given the single byte unsigned data type at dervied column at the level of SCD mapping the input to output its not accapring this mapping and return the error as can be convert from system.decimal to system.byte..

Ha all again. I have this issue: I have 2 tables: t1 (id,field1,field2,field3) and t2 (id,field_name,field_value)
is possible with trigger to insert only changed fields on t1 to t2 like
(changing field1 on t1 with id 21 cause a new row in t2 with fields id=21,field_name="field1", field_value=field1.value)
i hope you understand what i look for.
Is this trigger solution ?

I have a small question regard how to find out if a specific table has chanced. Is there any (sql)function inside MSSQL2005 that I can use to find if a spesific table has changed? I have heard of timestamp, but I don't know if that will solve my problem? Is there any thing in the sys.tables that kan help me, just do a fast query and check if a table has changed?
I'm developing a web-application with AJAX.NET, and I have UpdatePanels with datalist. When the tables in the db gets big the application is henging for a sec or two when it receiving the data, and when the timer (refresh rate) is 2 min it is not good! So my plan is to check if the table has chanced since last transfer of data, and if it has it will download the data, if not do nothing.
