India.
I want to find columns name associated with view. For example; can you please help me to write query? I need to write for several tables.
TableName Column View
---------- -------- -------
Employee EmpId v_EmployeeDetails
Employee Firstname v_EmployeeDetails
Employee Lastname --
Employee SSN v_PersonalD
Employee DOB --
___________________________________________________
--just example
go
create view v_EmployeeDetails
as
select EmpId,Firstname from Employee

go
create view v_PersonalD
as
select SSN from Employee
I have a task to where I need to move a column from one table toanother. I want to be sure I update any view, stored procedure,trigger, etc. that references the column. I simply want a query thatwill report the related objects and then I will update them manuallybut before I go and try and figure out how to do this by querying thesys tables is there an sp_sproc that will do this?

What might I be missing here?

Hi,I'm having trouble running the following query:select * from message where text_body like ' ----------%'ie, five spaces followed by at least ten hyphens. The query doesn'tcomplete, so eventually I cancel it. If I remove the hyphens from thequery ("... like ' %'") then it runs fine (though it doesn't findthe correct data).Am I confusing SQL Server by using a wildcard or regular expression?(I'm using SQL Server 2000 - 8.99.760).Thanks in advance for any helpRichard

Hi
I always seem to come back to dataset issues. Nonetheless, here is my problem:
I am retrieving data using a stored procedure that lists the number of bookings per hour and the revenue that generates also per hour. So, you enter a single date in the stored procedure, for example 2001-10-01 and it will bring back 24 rows corresponding to the 24 hours (obviously) and two columns, one displaying the number of bookings and one displaying how much revenue.
Pretty simple so far.
I have a report using SQL Reporting Services that allows users to enter two dates and therefore you get two tables with the relevant dates data. For example, table one has date 1's data and table 2 has as you'd expect date 2's data. Both tables use different datasets.
The reason why I am using different tables and different datasets is that the stored procedure I use only allows the use of one date at a time therefore, I use a second dataset to generate the second date's data.
The problem occurs when I want to calculate a difference between the two date's data, for example have another table that shows the differrence between table one and table two for bookings for each corresponding hour.
Anyone have any ideas as to how I could achieve this?
I have a table. In that table I have a list by student number that lists the entry dates into a particular grade. When trying to list only the first time entered, there is no unique way to identify one row from another other than the date. Is there a way to use max or min to only pull one date per student number? I have done a series of case when statements and I am able to get it down to 1 to 2 entries per student number, but I need to get it down to only 1 date per student number.
Thank you for your help

I am using Access 2007 and I have 10 columns of data.
I am trying to select all the data from all 10 columns where the first column's data returns only the Unique values and the other columns return all the data from the row that is returned from the first column.
I have used this
SELECT DISTINCT [SFR Rates All].Sorter, [SFR Rates All].SProgram, [SFR Rates All].S_Price, [SFR Rates All].Min_Loan, [SFR Rates All].Max_Loan
FROM [SFR Rates All];
But that returns all the data in the table and all values in the Sorter column with duplicates because each row has distinct data.
I am trying to return unique values from [SFR Rates All].Sorter (the first column) and all the data from the other 9 columns that are contain the row with the unique value in Sorter.
I know that I am missing something basic but well, I can't figure it out.
Thanks

I have a table that stores part numbers and manufactuers. Somehow this table has become corrupt showing different manufacturers with the same part numbers.
I know this will take a bit of manual digging to fix, but I want to find a way to pull all rows that have the same part number that have different manufacturers, or just pull up any "duplicate" part numbers and I can determine what is right or wrong as far as the manufactuers and make those changes.
I have tried this, but it does not seem to want to work.
Code:
Select * from my_table
Where partnumber = (select partnumber from my_table) and compName <> (select compName from my_table)
I have tried other variations of the same, but nothing seems to want to show me just the items that have the same part numnbers and different manufacturers. I do not care if there are duplicates of the same part number/manufacturer entries, just if the part number is duplicated where the manufacturers are not the same.
These are the rows I want to edit and group by part number. I have almost a million rows of entries and this is not something I want to go through row by row. :-P
Any ideas?
I am trying to find a way where I can search for a column that is associated in all tables of the database. I have created a query but is not executing correctly.
SELECT t.name AS table_name,
SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) AS schema_name,
c.name AS column_name
FROM sys.tables AS t8
INNER JOIN sys.columns c ON t.OBJECT_ID = c.OBJECT_ID
WHERE c.name LIKE '%Status%'
ORDER BY schema_name, table_name;
I have a split string function that will take a comma delimited string and give back a table with all the values.I have a table that has a column with a comma delimited comma delimited list of states.
I can use a where clause to find one state in the table (such as all records that have CA in the states string).But need to find out how to find all the rows that have all or any of the states from a comma delimited parameter.Here is the schema
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[split] (@list nvarchar(MAX))
RETURNS @tbl TABLE (svar nvarchar(10) NOT NULL) AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @pos int,
@nextpos int,
@valuelen int
[code]....
Could any suggest to me a good way to programmatically identify which SPsupdate a database column. I would like to create a cross reference for ourdatabase.

I'm trying to figure out how to identify the calling database within a sproc on a different database without using a parameter.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a rowset (intermediate result in a large query) that's equivalent to this table:
create table T (
K bigint,
V bigint,
W tinyint,
primary key(K,W)
)
What I want is "for each K, find the V associated with the largest W". Or,
select K,V from T t1 where W = (select max(W) from T t2 where t2.K = t1.K)
What I'd like is a solution that does not involve a self-join on the table (which the sub-query effectively is). The rowset can be sorted by (K asc, W desc), in which case I'm looking for the first (K,V) pair for each unique value of K.
In the larger query, T could have 100's of thousands of rows, and as I mentioned, T is the result of another query on my base tables. I can express T as a CTE easily enough, but the resulting query plan (using the sub-select, as above) ends up performing the query that generated T repeatedly in order to implement the self join.
I can save T into a temp table - in fact, that's what I'm doing now - but I'd rather avoid using a temp table if possible. This query needs to be of the highest possible performance, so if there's a no-temp-table, no-self-join solution, I'm all ears!
I could imagine making a CLR UDF that does the filtering that I want, but I'm not convinced that it'd be a good choice - any insights on whether that's worth trying would be appreciated as well.
Hi,

Hii all,
I want to find the database , table size in MS SQL Server.
Is there is any query /procedures to find out the database and table size.
Thanks in advance .,

Our system guy wants me to find out just exactly how much room is being taken up by the SQL Express databases (I am using two). I am not sure how to do this. Is there any way to find the size, or, lacking that, how many records overall? We will probably need to move up to SQL 2005 soon, but he needs to figure out the memory requirements, etc.
Thanks,

I need to find the name of the user that signed in to the web page. For this, I have a web page with a text box, the program should access a SQL database use, use the userID and return the name. My code (working) does the following:string mySqlQuery = "";
string strCnn = "";SqlDataReader myDataReader = null;
mySqlQuery = "SELECT c_name FROM database WHERE c_user='demo'";
//connect to the databasestrCnn = "Data Source=" + connectionServer + "; Initial Catalog=" + connectionDatabase + "; user id=" + connectionUserID + "; password=" + connectionPassword + "; Integrated Security=false";cnn = new SqlConnection(strCnn);
try
{
cnn.Open();MessageBox.Show("Success Opening the Database");
}
catch
{MessageBox.Show("Problems with the database");
}SqlCommand sqlSelectCommand = new SqlCommand(mySqlQuery, cnn);
tbName.Text = "me";
cnn.Close();
This works, I just need to retrieve the value of c_name. Any help, thanks
Hey,
Is there somewhere in MSDE (or SQL) where you can see how many transaction are made to a sertain database or by a sertain user? At this way i could figure out witch database/user uses most (or least) recources (cpu) over a period of time.
I know sysprocesses has the information, but I can't seem to find how this is done using the dmv's. sessions doesn have a db context, and requests is only active while activity is occurring.
Thanks!
I need to find a way to identify SPIDS where queries are connected to certain databases using the 4 dot notation instead of actually being connected to the database in question.
For instance, I connect and my default database is MASTER. In MASTER, instead of typing USE MyDb ahead of my query, I just type my query as:
SELECT Col1, Col2
FROM MyDB.dbo.MyTable
The above is the simple scenario. We usually have queries connecting 3 or 4 user dbs together. So database1 might have a query pointing to database2. What I need is a way to identify the SPIDS that are connecting to database2 despite being in database1.
I have a CRM database that has a lot of tables and would like to be able to extract the last 'x' records in descending order from each table based on a common a field 'modifiedon' that is in every table and is auto populated by the system.

Morning forum,
I'm having a problem to which I'm sure the answer is simple...
All I want is a list of databases on my server with their allocated size and the free space within. Something similar to the first table that sp_spaceused gives you but on a server wide scale.
As I say, I'm sure there's a simple solution out there, but alas Google has failed me.
Thanks in advance,
Dan.
Good Morning,
Am I new at this so please bear with me. I searched the site and found threads on identifying the meaning of an error code and have instituted that scripting. It is telling me that I have a 'The data value cannot be converted for reasons other than sign mismatch or data overflow.' error. It identifies the colum as 5301.
I searched the threads and found one telling me I could do an advanced editor search on the lineage id to find the column being referenced. I have traced the entire process using this information and cannot find a reference lineage id of 5301. Was that thread information accurate, and if so what do I do now? If not, can someone tell me how the heck I find column 5301? I cannot load my table from a flat file because of this.
Work so far:
I have checked for integrity between column definitions and source flat file. I applied derived column changes to make the data transform to the appropriate data type/order where necessary. This part works without error. (Or seems to, there is no error output from this piece.) It is only on the final attempt to load that the process errors with these messages.
Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me.
