Trying To Find Non Identity Primary Keys
Jan 26, 2006This ain't working
SELECT T.TABLE_NAME,C.COLUMN_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES T
JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS C
ON T.TABLE_NAME = C.TABLE_NAME
WHERE OBJECTPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID(T.TABLE_NAME),
'TableHasIdentity') = 0
AND T.TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
AND OBJECTPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID(C.COLUMN_NAME),'IsPrimary Key') = 1
ORDER BY T.TABLE_NAME,C.COLUMN_NAME
This is giving me bogus results...
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE OBJECTPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID(COLUMN_NAME),'IsPrimaryKe y') = 1
I have PK's all over the place. What gives? Too many cocktails with lunch?

Designating An Identity Column When You Already Have Primary Key
Jan 13, 2007Hello --
Following normal practice, I have an autoincrementing identity column designated as primary key in my table. I have two other columns that should also contain unique values per record, but the Identity option is greyed out (in Management Studio) for all columns other than the primary key.
I'm enforcing this programmatically (in my C# code) at this point, but I'd like to back that up with a constraint in the database itself.
Any help is appreciated.

Identity Column Primary Key Vs Custom Key
May 22, 2008We are developing a batabase which is meant for financial domain,so it will import data from different source system..

In contex of our system integration with other data sources ,whether is it a good idea to have a auto integer primary key a or to implement some logic to generate primary key?
Can some one guide us to some pratical data base design case studies?or some best practices.?

DB Design :: Add A New Int Identity Column As Primary Key To Already Existing Table
Sep 3, 2015We want to add a new int identity column as a primary key to an already existing table that has a primary key on Guid. Here is the DDL:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[VRes](
[VResID] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
[Mes] [varchar](max) NOT NULL,
[PID] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
[Segt] [int] NOT NULL,
[code]....
Also we currently have 3 million rows on this table. Is having an integer column as identity column and primary key better or shd I consider using BigInt?

SQL Server 2012 :: Find Queries That Lock Tables Or Not Using Primary Key While Running Update
Jul 20, 2015I need to search for such SPs in my database in which the queries for update a table contains where clause which uses non primary key while updating rows in table.
If employee table have empId as primary key and an Update query is using empName in where clause to update employee record then such SP should be listed. so there would be hundreds of tables with their primary key and thousands of SPs in a database. How can I find them where the "where" clause is using some other column than its primary key.
If there is any other hint or query to identify such queries that lock tables, I only found the above few queries that are not using primary key in where clause.

We have an application written in MS Access. The tables are linked to a SQL 2000 database.
The problem is that sometimes insert a new record in a table freezes and times out after a while without anything has happened.
When installing the application the *mdb file is copied over to the C drive and an ODBC connection is written to the registry.
The application is used by many in the company.
We have problems on tables defined with IDENTITY columns. Can this be our problem and how can we solve it?

Find Common Value In Column For 30 Tables
Mar 21, 2006Hi,
I am trying to query for a common value in a column called "file_auth_nbr" in 30 different tables. I was going to try something like this (see below) but wasn't sure if this was the most efficient, fastest, or correct, way to get what I'm looking for:
Select distinct a.file_auth_nbr from table1 as a
join table2 as b
on a.file_auth_nbr = b.file_auth_nbr
join table3 as c
on a.file_auth_nbr = c.file_auth_nbr
join table4 as d
on a.file_auth_nbr = d.file_auth_nbr
join table5 as e
on a.file_auth_nbr = e.file_auth_nbr
......etc., etc.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated,

Find Out What Tables Contain A Specific Column
Jul 28, 2006I want to write SQL that will search the tables in a database for a specific column, like this. For instance, I have a column "Unique_ID" that is in many of our tables (hundreds) but not in others and want to find out the tables it is in. It is always the first column.
I tried to find a system stored procdure to do this but couldn't and tried to create a script using the sysobjects and syscolumns tables in the Master db, but came to a roadblock because they don't seem to be related at all.
I would surely appreciate if someone else has already done this!

Replicating Tables With An Identity Column Fails Even With Custom Stored Procedure
Mar 28, 1999When replicating a table which has an identity column I get the error: "Procedure cp_insert_tblname expects parameter @C1, which was not supplied.". The stored procedure appears to be called without any parameters so my insert stored procedure does not work. I know I'm missing something basic here!! Do I have to add the field names when telling replication to use a custom stored procedure. If not, how do arguments get passed to my SP, as globals somehow?
Any info greatly appreciated!!

Need To Find Instances Of Duplicates Within A Column; Joining 2 Tables.
Aug 22, 2007My basic situation is this - I ONLY want duplicates, so the oppositeof DISTINCT:I have two tables. Ordinarily, Table1ColumnA corresponds in a one toone ratio with Table2ColumnB through a shared variable. So if I queryTableB using the shared variable, there really should only be onrecord returned. In essence, if I run this and return TWO rows, it isvery bad:select * from TableB where SharedVariable = 1234I know how to join the tables on a single record to see if this is thecase with one record, but I need to find out how many, among possiblymillions of records this affects.Every record in Table1ColumnA (and also the shared variable) will beunique. There is another column in Table1 (I'll call itTable1ColumnC) that will be duplicated if the record in Table2 is aduplicate, so I am trying to use that to filter my results in Table1.I am looking to see how many from Table1 map to DUPLICATE instances inTable2.I need to be able to say, in effect, "how many unique records inTable1ColumnA that have a duplicate in Table1ColumnC also have aduplicate in Table2ColumnB?"Thanks if anyone can help!-- aknoch
View 1 Replies View RelatedNeed To Find An Easy Way To Split A Column In Table Without Using Cursor Or Temp Tables
Sep 5, 2007Hi ,
I have two tables within a SQL database. The 1st table has an identified column and column which lists one of more email identifers for a second table,
e.g.
ID Email
-- ----------
1 AS1 AS11
2 AS2 AS3 AS4 AS5
3 AS6 AS7
The second table has a column which has an email identifier and another column which lists one email address for that particular identifier, e.g.
ID EmailAddress
--- ------------------
AS1 abcstu@emc.com
AS2 abcstu2@emc.com
AS3 abcstu3@emc.com
AS4 abcstu4@em.com
AS5 abcstu5@emc.com
AS6 abcstu6@emc.com
AS7 abcstu7@emc.com
AS11 abcstu8@emc.com
I need to create a stored procedure or function that:
1. Selects an Email from the first table, based on a valid ID,
2. Splits the Email field of the first table (using the space separator) so that there is an array of Emails and then,
3. Selects the relevant EmailAddress value from the second table, based on a valid Email stored in the array
Is there any way that this can be done directly within SQL Server using a stored procedure/function without having to use cursors?
Many Thanks,

How To Find Differences In Column Data Types Between Tables In Two Different Databases Using TSQL
Apr 21, 2008
I have Two Database that exist on Two seperate servers. The two database contain same schema and contains tables and columns of same name. Some tables have slight differences in terms of data types or Data type lenght.
For example if a Table on ServerA has a column named - CustomerSale with Varchar (100, Null) and a table on ServerB has a column named CustomerSale with Varchar (60, Null), how can i find if other columns have similar differences in all tables with the same name and columns in the two servers.
I am using SQL Server 2005. And the Two Servers are Linked Servers
What Script can i use to accomplish this task. Thanks
Transact SQL :: Find Unmatching Columns Between Two Tables While Applying A Change Column Prefix Table
Nov 16, 2015For our ETL process, we maintain a TransformationList table that has the source view and the destination table. Data is copied from the view into the table (INSERT INTO). I am trying to find column names in the Views that are not column names in the associated Table.
In the below example, want to end up with three records:
1, View1, Column4
2, View2, Column4
2, View2, Column5
I have it almost working, except that there is a table, ChangeColPrefix table, that is used by the ETL process to change some of the view's column name prefixes. Some of the source views have column names with prefixes that do not match the destination table column names. Say view SouthBase has all the column names prefixed with SB - like SBAcct, SBName. And the Destination table of Area District has ADAcct, ADName. There would be a row in the ChangeColPrefix for SouthBase, SB, AD, 1, 2 that would be used by the ETL process to create the INSERT INTO Area District From SouthBase.
I need to use this ChangeColPreifx to find my unmatching columns between my source views and destination tables. With out that table SBAcct and SBName from SouthBase will not appear to match the columns of ADAcct and ADName, but they do match.
I want to end up with these three records as non-matching:
View1, Column4
View2, Column4
View2, Column5
View1 has Salumn2 and View2 has Salumn5, and they must be changed to Column2 and Column5 as per the ChangeColPrefix table before running the Select from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS EXCEPT Select from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS looking for unmatched columns.
/***** Set Up Test Data *****/
-- Create 2 test views
IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM sys.views WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[View1]'))

CREATE VIEW View1
AS SELECT '1' AS Column1 , '2' AS Salumn2 , '4' AS Column4;
