How To Get Table And Column Information
Aug 18, 2000
Okay, I'll admit it: I am not a Guru. Far from it. So here is one of the zillion tasks I cannot do - unfortunately it is one that I need to have done... :
I need a recordset containing the Name, Datatype, Size, Precision, and Name_of_parent_table of all columns in all non-system tables in a given database.
Most likely this can be accomplished with one or two SPs, but which ones? And how?
Is there any Kind Soul out there, perhaps?

Hi,
Is it possible to retrieve column information alone in the sp_columns command? I saw that it has an additional option "@column_name". But when I include it in my sql, it doesn't work the way I had expected it to..
I had tried sp_columns @table_name='mytable', @column_name='COLUMN_NAME'
I expect just the column names alone in the resultset. What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks and Regards,
Celia.

Hi,
I need to provide a report that lists the databases in each instance, then the tablenames and the number of rows in each table.
Is there any easy way to do this in SQL 2005?
Cheers

Hello
I'm trying to get data from as400 server to sql server, trough a job.
The job executes a stored procedure that retrieves data from a view in an other database on the same server. That view gets the data from as400.
Now, when i run the mentioned stored procedure in the query analyzer, everything works fine, but when the stored procedure is executed from the scheduled job, it fails each time giving the error
"Could not get the column information from the OLE DB provider 'IBMDA400'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7350). The step failed."
on random points during that process (by that i mean the lenght of time it runs)
does anyone know what the diffrence is between executing an sp in query analyzer or using a job, keeping in mind retrieving data from as400?
thanks

I want to make a query, stored procedure, or whatever which will only display the primary key where there does no exist a foreign key in linked table.For example. If I had two tables with a one to many relationship.A [Computer] has one or more [Hard Drives]. I want to select only those computers which do not have a Hard Drive(s) associated with them. That is, show all computers where the Computer_ID field in the [Hard Drives] table does not exist. This seems simple but I'm drawing a blank here.

I can preview the SQL command in the OLE DB Source Editor and bring back all columns and results just fine but when I click on the Columns I get
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio
------------------------------
The component reported the following warnings:
Error at Data Flow Task [OLE DB Source [1]]: No column information was returned by the SQL command.
The columns are there in the preview - why can't SSIS get the column information?

Hi All,
I am in process of transfering data from Sybase to Sql Server using SSIS 2005
have taken a Data Flow Task in Control Flow tab
In Data flow tab, I have taken one Ole DB Source and One OLe DB Destination
For the source, I am using Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere Provider 8.0
For Destination, I am using Sql Server 2005 database
In Ole Db Source Editor ,
For OLe Db Connection Manager, I choose Sybase Connection
For Data access mode, I choose Table or View
For Name of the table or the view, I choose a table by name Table1( it lists all the tables from Sybase database)
When i click on preview button or Columns link, I get the following Error
Error at Data Flow Task [OLE DB Source [1]]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.
Error at Data Flow Task [OLE DB Source [1]]: Unable to retrieve column information from the data source. Make sure your target table in the database is available.

Hi,
I am trying to set up a data flow task. The source is "SQL Command" which is
a stored procedure. The proc has a few temp tables that it outputs the final
resultset from. When I hit preview in the ole db source editor, I see the
right output. When I select the "Columns" tab on the right, the "Available
External Column List" is empty. Why don't the column names appear? What is
the work around to get the column mappings to work b/w source and
destination in this scenario.
In DTS previously, you could "fool" the package by first compiling the
stored procedure with hardcoded column names and dummy values, creating and
saving the package and finally changing the procedure back to the actual
output. As long as the columns remained the same, all would work.
Thats not working for me in SSIS.
Thanks in advance.
Asim.

Hello, I am getting very frustrated! I have got a Foreach loop container which I am processing files within a folder. I have a flatfile connection manager which I have set up using a test file and have updated the expressions attribute to be the package variable I set up in the collection for the loop container however everytime I run it I get the error: 0xC0202094 cannot retrieve the column information from the flatfile connection manager. I can only guess that it is either the variable being passed to the connection manager or the way I set up the connection manager. When I msgbox the variable in a script component before the dataflow step, the variable for the file seems fine. Any suggestions are REALLY appreciated.
Yours

In oracle there is a describe command:
describe table_name
This command will tell you the columns names, datatypes, and length of the columns for that particular table. Does anyone know if there is a simliar command in SQL server that would do that? The only way that I have found so far is to do a join of the syscolumns with sysobject by table name.

and i want to only print out the results for "Heading 4" under the "Heading" column, and only have the results print out once, using php.. how would i do this?
The Headings are inputed by the user through a web interface i created where the user may either select an exisiting heading or type in a completely new one that has nothing to do with any of the others.

Hi,
I have two tables - a stock table and a transaction table. The stock table is called stock and the transaction table is called trans. The table make a point of sale database. Both table have a joining field called prod_no.
I want to extract the stock line by querying stock.prod_no that are not present in the trans table for a period of time specified.
Basically, I want to find dead stock lines that have not been sold and, therefore, are not in the transaction table but that have a stock figure. I have to enter in a start and end date paramater using the ddate field in the trans table. I have looked at left, right and outer joins but with no luck and don't even know if this is the correct query type to use.
any help would be much appreciated,

Hi
I have a problem I am trying to ascertain the quality of the data in the table of a system we are migrating from one database to another.
We have already taken the step of converting it into SQL server to make sense of it now I wnat to query the data itself
To do this I set up a query that went through sysobjects and syclumns and listed the tables and their columns
What I want to do now is use this information to query the data elements themselves to determine where we should concentrate our data mapping on.
I started out with a cursor doing this
declare @table varchar(50)
declare @col varchar(50)
declare @result int
declare count_cursor cursor scroll
for select tname,cname from infotemp
open count_cursor
fetch from count_cursor
into @table,@col
while @@fetch_status=0
BEGIN
exec ('select count('+@col+') from '+@table)
Fetch next from count_cursor into @table,@col
END
close count_cursor
deallocate count_cursor
But I am having problems getting the counted value into the result value from the exec statement
Anybody got any ideas
Thanks

I am working on moving information from one of our databases into a newer one the company has recently setup. I am working in MS SQL Server 2012 and am trying to Inset/Update (depending on the information) a part table. I will list the two tables I am working on as Old (where I am getting the information) and New (where it is to be inserted into).
The old table has about 250 columns of information, most of which is not needed. The needed information is as follows: Name, ID, Component1, Component1_PIN,Component1_SN, Component1_Description, Component2, Component2_PIN, Component2_SN. The component section repeats up to Component12.
The new table has columns setup as such: Name, ID, Case, CasePIN, CaseSN, Case_Desc, Processor, ProcessorPIN, ProcessorSN, Processor_Description, Memory, MemoryPIN, MemorySN, Memory_Description, etc.
The issue I am having is that in the old table each component can have Case, Processor, Memory, etc in that one column. I need to insert Case, Memory, etc into the correct column in the new table while keeping intact the rest of the information.Â
Example:
Old Table
Name | ID | Component1 | Component1_PIN | Component1_SN | Component1_Description | Component2 | Component2_PIN | Component2_SN | Component2_Description
Nest8 | 5682 | Case | 901834 | 237848117 | Black, rectangular | Memory | 9081234 | 5398798134 | NULL
Nest8 | 5978 | Case | 901463 | 237848138 | Black, rectangular | Processor | 2394875 | 2903857809 | Bad
Reds3 | 5683 | Memory | 2405 | 89752342 | Crucial | HardDrive | 92387595 | 457982234 | NULL
Bass | 5644 | HardDrive | 79872346 | 5321675789 | NULL | Case | 10984528 | 3498769872 | NULL
I am not sure how to loop through and grab each part and place it in the column it needs to be while keeping it with the ID.Â

Hi all,
Im not really sure if this is a PHP or and SQL problem but here goes.
Im using MSSQL and have developed a webpage that enables users to run various PACKAGES manually, however I need to display if the package has been successfully run.
Is there a system table that logs package information or is there a PHP function that I can use.
Thanks
P.s I know there are some system tables with the information for jobs but I do not want to create a job for each package.
