Is There A Way To Drop All The Columns Called Some_name In All The Tables At The Same Time
May 15, 2008
Hi,
In my DB, many of my tables have a column named upsize_ts I have already been told that it is not linked in any way with the data in the DB. The data type of these columns is timestamp and every record in those colum is this : "<Binary>"
Now maybe it's because the whole DB comes from an export from an Access DB, or maybe not. I just had a few questions:
1/ Does anyone know why that column got generated and what it means? (optional)
2/Now the real question: is there any statement allowing me to "mass-drop" all those columns named "upsize_ts" in every table of my DB at the same time? Or at least any way not to do it one drop table at a time?
Thanks.

I have a temperature table with a column that shows the how many hours old a newborn was when his/her temperature was taken.
Example lets say once per hour.
I want to join to a table called Weight that records the newborns weight at any given time.
Example lets say 3x during the day.
1 @ 8:45am
2 @ 11:15am
3 @ 4:30pm
I want to figure out which weight recording is the closest to a given temperature recording and return that one row.

Hi folks.
Here i have small problem in transactions.I don't know how it is happaning.
Up to my knowldge if you start a transaction in side the transaction if you have DML statements
Those statements only will be effected by rollback or commit but in MS SQL SERVER 7.0 and 6.5
It is rolling back all the commands including DDL witch it shouldn't please let me know on that
If any one can help this please tell me ...........Please............
For Example
begin transaction t1
create table t1
drop table t2
then execute bellow statements
select * from t1
this query gives you table with out data
select * from t2
you will recieve an error that there is no object
but if you rollback
T1 willn't be there in the database
droped table t2 will come back please explain how it can happand.....................

I am dropping 60 out of 133 columns on a user table, but am finding that the spaceused by the table ( as shown by sysindexes.dpages ) is not being freed up.
I have dropped and recreated all indexes on the table, with no effect on the dpages value, as well as running dbcc updateusage for the table.
Is it not possible to free up the space used by using this method ?
Is recreating and repopulating the table with only the required columns the correct / only way to do this ?
thanks,
manoj

I have a VIEW which is dynamically generated through complex dynamic SQL. Unfortunately the dynamic SQL uses "Select * from table" to select the columns because the programmer did that to reduce the amount of code in the dynamic SQL string as the code can't be debugged if it's too long.
Therefore, I have a VIEW with columns in it I don't need, and want to remove them from the view - I need to remove all columns with column names matching the syntax '%1%_2' .
The view is called TEMP_EXPORT_1
I can either use the code below to return a list of columns that I want removed:
select column_name from information_schema.columns
where table_name='TEMP_EXPORT_1' and column_name like '%1%_2'
Or I can use the code below to return the list of columns that I want to keep:
select column_name from information_schema.columns
where table_name='TEMP_EXPORT_1' and column_name not like '%1%_2'
Now how would I go about altering TEMP_EXPORT_1 view so that it no longer has these columns? I know views don't have a drop statement...
Therefore I tried the following but I'm not sure of the syntax:
ALTER VIEW dbo.TEMP_EXPORT_1
AS
SELECT (select column_name from information_schema.columns
where table_name='TEMP_EXPORT_1' and column_name not like '%1%_2')
FROM dbo.TEMP_EXPORT_1
Am I on the right track? how can I ALTER this view to remove these columns? ... I want to keep this separate from the code that generated the view as I want it as an optional procedure that can be run if needed.

Hi all,
I have created several global temp tables to cache some intermediate results ...
However, it seems that after a while those tables will be dropped by SQL Server 2005 automatically (I have not restarted the server and no drop table statement ever executed against those tables). Is this a feature by design? How to make those global temp tables persistence to next service restart?
Thanks,
Ning

I have a list of 35 tables that need to drop the primary key index from in my database.
My problem is as follows for these 35 tables:
1. How can I get a list of all the primary keys for this subset of tables in my database
2. How can I drop just the PK for each of these tables?
I want an easy quick way to do this without having to manually do this for each of the 35 tables in my database. I dont want to do this for all tables just the subset.
Thanks

Hello all, im using visual web developer btw. Im using the excellent tutorial here at http://www.asp.net/learn/videos/view.aspx?tabid=63&id=49 Works a treat. For my catalogue/database. i have 2 tables using the drop down menu - one is a "Buyers guide" (a list of the product) and an "application list" (this one is a list of the motorbike).
So in essence they are the same tables, but of course moved around with slightly different ways. What i would like to, is to some how make a refferenced link to each - Once one of the drop down menus has been linked to a product, theres a column that tells u what bike is being used....i therefore want to have a link so the seconmdary drop down menu - but i do not know how i can do this. Any ideas guys/gals? thx.

When I am initializing a transactional replication from SQL 2005 to Oracle 10g, SQL tries to drop tables that don't exist. The properties option for the articles specifically states "if the name is in use:". The name is not in use, yet SQL still tries to drop non-existent tables, which causes the replication to halt. Anyone seen this before, or have any ideas what to do about it?
Thanks!

I have two tables that will not drop in a Database. I'm running SQL 6.5 on a Compaq Proliant.
Symptoms: Both tables show up in sysobjects, sysindexes, and syscolumns. Both allow SELECT, sp_rename, and truncate, but just hang ISQL or the Enterprise Manager when I try to drop them. I ran a DBCC CheckTable on them with no errors reported. Any ideas??

Hello,
I have a query that's in development that uses several temp tables. In order to test the query repeatedly while it's being written I have the following code at the beginning to discard the temp tables. This allows the query can recreate the temp tables when called in the code.
if object_id('tempdb..#temp1') is not null drop table #temp1
if object_id('tempdb..#temp2') is not null drop table #temp2
if object_id('tempdb..#temp3') is not null drop table #temp3
if object_id('tempdb..#temp4') is not null drop table #temp4
if object_id('tempdb..#temp5') is not null drop table #temp5
Even though this works, it takes multiple lines of code. One of my queries has to drop 12 temp tables, thus 12 lines of code. I have been experimenting with looping the above as follows:
declare @n as nvarchar(3), @table as nvarchar(10)
set @n = 1
while @n <= 5 begin
set @table = '#temp'+@n
if object_id('tempdb..#temp'+@n) is not null drop table @table
set @n = @n + 1
end
Unfortunately, the above does not work. It gives this error message:
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 5
Line 5: Incorrect syntax near '@table'.
I have also tried:
declare @n as nvarchar(3), @dropstmt as nvarchar(25)
set @n = 1
while @n <= 5 begin
set @dropstmt = 'drop table #temp'+@n
if object_id('tempdb..#temp'+@n) is not null @dropstmt
set @n = @n + 1
end
This does not work either. It gives this error message:
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 5
Line 5: Incorrect syntax near '@dropstmt'.
Does anyone know how to get this to work?
Thanks.
