How Do I Retrieve Table Properties In MS SQL Server 2000
Nov 29, 2004
I have looked on google and haven't found a query (as of yet) to perform this function.
Essentially I am using VB.NET with Excel and have a mapping between a worksheet and a table in my database. I wrote an import function to pull the data out of excel and put it into SQL Server but I want to try catching errors before i do that.
What is the SQL query to get column sizes from a table. Meaning in a table I have column1 that is allowed a size of int(5). How do i retrieve that information from a query opposed to just looking at it in SQL Server EM??
Here's a table function that returns a table variable containing various file properties (creation date, size, etc.). The one limitation to remember is that it won't work with files on mapped drives; you have to use the full \<Server><Share><Folder1..Folder n><Filename> syntax. Still, it's a pretty useful thing to have around. :)

Hello, Im using Visual Studio 2005 to code ASP.NET How to query my MS SQL SERVER 2000 to retrieve data from my DataBase? Ive tried some tutorials, but i kept giving me errorsCan you put a simple source code to retrieve something like "select userID, Name, Age from Users" Thank you,
The project I'm currently working on involves combining data from one SQL Server 2000 databases and XML returned from a web service into a 3rd SQL Server 2000 database.
This process must be scheduled to happen once a day. If it weren't for the Web Service, I'd say that this is a no-brainer and I'd use DTS. However, I'm not sure if I can even access a Web Service with DTS. Has anyone done this or have any tips?
I have a MS SQL Server Express database wich I upsized once from MS Access. I can connect to it and get/insert data but I can't update the field properties.
I've used Access 2003, Visual Studio .Net and SQL Server Web Data Administrator, but I can't change the properties of existing tables. I cán add new tables and add their properties afterwards. Since I have a lot of tables it would be too much work too recreate them all. So how can I edit my existing tables?
we have some reference tables in in a specific database. that other applications need to have access to them. Is it possible to create a view in the application's database to retrive data from ref database while users just have access to the application Database not the view's underlying tables?
Hi guys, When I thought everything is okay with this script, I got a new problem... I have a VBA's script from Excel 2003 that builds sql script and retrieves data from SQL SERVER 2000. in order to make the sql running, I need to use a multi - batch processing, to pass and execute every command line once a time.
Up to here, I am using a test case with Account number = '123456' and getting the desire results. The code below is running okay with the test case, but when changing the account number (mark as yellow in the code) to include all the accounts (or just one other account), I am getting the following ERROR: run - time error '-2147217871 (80040e31)' - [Microsoft] [ODBC SQL Server Driver] time out expired.
Now, if I take the same code, with the condition that generates the ERROR, and try it into SQL Server, I get the results without errors. Thanks in advance, Aldo.
Below the code:

Hi, DTS now has a dynamic properties task in sql 2000 which at a first glance is pretty cool. However i do not know if it would sort out a particular issue I have.
I need to have a generic DTS package that pulls data from different locations based on the project selected by a user. The source is a btrieve database The name of the tables change with the project, so for example the F24 project would have its source table named F24TACT and the IFO source would have its source table named IFOTACT.
I need to be able to dynamically retrieve the table name from a local SQL table and assign this name to the data pump for the data extraction..
I don' t know if this is achievable in DTS. I can retrieve the value into a look up variable but how can i set it at runtime ?
Hi - Im migrating packages in dts 2000 to SSIS 2005 using package migrator wizard. It loads a CSV to a table in DB. I need to change the server and file location paths after migration. While changing this, im encountering error - "the acquireconnection method call to connectionmanager failed
Can anyone help me with displaying several table properites at once. I know I can use sp_help 'tablename' to get one at time. What is the best method to get several databases at a time?
Hello. I just started using SQL Server Management Studio Express. I am creating a new table by right-clicking the "Tables" folder and selecting "New Table". Then i hit F4 to bring up the "Properties" (because I want to associate a Schema to the table, but when the "Properties" section appears, it's blank. I can't figure out a way to get anything to appear there. Any ideas? Thanks!...
SO when i try to load from Master table to parent and child table i am using using expresssion like
select B.ID,A.* FROM FLATFILE_INVENTORY AS A JOIN DMS_INVENTORY AS B ON A.ACDealerID=B.DMSDEALERID AND A.StockNumber=B.STOCKNUMBER AND A.InventoryDate=B.INVENTORYDATE AND A.VehicleVIN=B.VEHICLEVIN WHERE convert(date,A.[FtpDate]) = convert(date,GETDATE()) and convert(date,B.Ftpdate) = convert(date,getdate()) ;
If i use this Expression i am getting the current system date data's only from Master table to parent and child tables.
My Problem is If i do this in my local sserver using the above Expression if i loaded today date and if need to load yesterday date i can change my system date to yesterday date and i can run this Expression.so that yeserday date data alone will get loaded from Master to parent and child tables.
If i run this expression to remote server i cannot change the system date in server.
while using this Expression for current date its loads perfectly but when i try to load yesterday data it takes current date date only not the yesterday date data.
What is the Expression on which ever date i am trying load in the master table same date need to loaded in Parent and child table without changing the system Date.
I'm using an ObjectDataSource in Visual Studio to retrieve records from a SQL Server 2005 database. I have a very simple dilemma. In a table I have fields FirstName, Surname, Address1, Address2, Address3 etc. None of these are mandatory fields. It is quite common for the user not to enter data in Address2, Address3, so the values are <null> in the SQL table. In Visual Studio 2005 I have an aspx form where users can pass search parameters to the ObjectDataSource and the results are returned according to the passed in parameters. The WHERE clause in my Table Adapter is:WHERE (Address1 LIKE @Address1 + '%') AND (Address2 LIKE @Address2 + '%') AND (Address3 LIKE @Address3 + '%') AND (FirstName LIKE @FirstName + '%') AND (Surname LIKE @Surname + '%') If, for example, I simply want to search WHERE FirstName LIKE ‘R’, this does not return any results if the value of Address3 is <null> My query is this: Could someone please show me the best way in Visual Studio 2005 to return records even if one of the Address fields is <null>. For reference, I have tried: Address3 LIKE @Address3 + '%' OR IS NULLThis does work, however itsimply returns every instance where Address3 is <null> (accounting for about 95% of the records in the database). Thanks in advance Simon
Query #1:select <list of fields>from Cjoin B on C.b_key = B.b_keyjoin A on B.a_key = A.a_keywhere A.o_key = <some value>Query #2:select <list of fields>from Cwhere b_key in (select b_keyfrom Bwhere a_key in (select a_keyfrom Awhere o_key = <some value>))#1 (and other things with the same general pattern) are used inliterally thousands of places in this one client's system, and ismuch nicer to write, but seems to be rather slower than #2. Isthere any way to tweak the tables to tell the system somethinglike "hey, B, whenever you're joined to A, you should seriouslyconsider waiting for A to be filtered down to a manageable levelfirst"? And similarly for C/B.MS SQL 2000, SP3, 6.5 compat mode. These are set in stone untilwe upgrade the accounting software (highly non-trivial).
I am trying to create a hard copy of all the table definitions in the database and have not found a way to do so. The report would have all the columns for a partcular table and each property assigned to the column. For instance Customers table has CustomerId, FirstName, LastName, Phone, etc. The CustomerId is PK, Identity, Auto Increment, BIGINT, NOT NULL. FirstName is NVARCHAR(30), NULL. LastName is NVARCHAR(30), NULL. Phone is NVARCHAR(20), NULL. Can anyone point me to the right system function or sp to get this info?
Another Newbie here...sorry if this is an easy question: How do I extract Table Properties (field names, type, length, PK/FK) from multiple tables and into an Excel spreadsheet?
I'm kinda new to SQL. I'm trying to get a print out of a specific table and its columns and column types. Is there a specific command or code that I can use to accomplish this?.
I am using SqlServer 2005 and I have created small sample table with culumns that have Extended properties. FirstName have [First Name] extended propery called M_Caption. Then I created a view from the table to use in an access database. My problem is, I can't get the table column extended properties to show up in the view column extended properties.
Here is the table

I store files in db in sql server 2008 by filestream. But when a column would be added to table which have filestream, properties of table would be changed. by every things change on table, retrieve files will faced to error. but store process work probably.
and filestream filegroup at following address will be empty. why?
Right click on table --> properties --> storage --> filestream filegroup
I'm wondering if there is some sql I can run to check properties on a table. This would be used to verify things like data types, allow nulls and default values have been set to avoid mistakes. This could be done manually one table and one column at a time, but it would be a lot easier to look at it in the results window.
I want to do something similar to ExecuteScalar in ADO.net but instead in T-SQL.Basically I want to do a query that will return the first value in the table queried and put it into a variable. How do I do this?Thanks in advance.
I am trying t get output for the following querry but I know am missing something. Can anyone help me out with it.
select distinct productnum, (SELECT SUM(quantity) FROM orderlineitem w WHERE w.productnum = e.productnum) as Quantity from orderlineitem e where parentOrderlineitemid is null order by Quantity desc)
In the above query am getting the productnum and quanity and it looks like this
productnum quantity abc 6 ttt 3 sss 1
What am tring to do to this query is that . From another table 'product' i want all the data to be retrieved with this productnum(the table 'product' has a column called prductnum). I don't know how to write a query for this.
my query is select * from product where productnum in ( select distinct productnum, (SELECT SUM(quantity) FROM orderlineitem w WHERE w.productnum = e.productnum) as Quantity from orderlineitem e where parentOrderlineitemid is null order by Quantity desc)
