Hello everybody,
If I know the table name, is there any command to list all "Column Name" and the Columns "Description" as shown in the Design Table window.
Any feedback is welcome!
Thank you,

Hello, it seems I forgot how to do it,
I want to create a query to get the column description table, I mean get structure without data.
I remember it was select DESC or something like that, donno if im right!!!
regards
I am having trouble bringing "description" column in to my sp and them at the out put. in the ppatient_status_mstr there is a column called“description” which has patient status such as “discharged” “termed collection” etc... How do I use the SP to bring this description into application? I am assigning it to @mytext. I am not sure how to declare “description” in the SP? Every time I use it I get errors like:
Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Procedure CheckStatus, Line 20
The multi-part identifier "pm.alerts_ind" could not be bound.
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Procedure CheckStatus, Line 40
Invalid column name 'description'.
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Procedure CheckStatus, Line 43
Invalid column name 'description'.
I want to say if user picks a description from application . show me that description in output. But I am having trouble how to use the description? I am not sure if my “IF” statements are correct either?
Here is the procedure
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[CheckStatus] (@enc_id varchar(36) OUTPUT, @Mytext varchar(50) OUTPUT, @data_ind Char(1) OUTPUT)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
@alerts_ind char(1)
[code]....

How can I query/script Column or Table description (extended property MS_Description') in SQLserver 2005 db.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am migrating between SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 but hit a snag when attempting to write a query to display the column's description.
I used this code with SQL Server 2000 to get the "Description" data.
select o.name 'table' , c.name 'column' , p.value as 'description' , t.name 'datatype' , c.isnullable 'nullable?' , c.length, m.text 'default_text' from sysobjects o
join syscolumns c on o.id = c.id
join sysproperties p on o.id = p.id and p.smallid = c.colid
join systypes t on c.xtype = t.xtype
left outer join syscomments m on m.id = c.cdefault
order by 'table' , 'column'
How can I reproduce this with SQL Server 2005? I tried using the following which gives me a lot of the same data but not "Description":
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Hello All.
I have created a table with short name as the file name but have entered the description in the column box (when creating a new table - see attached). I would like to show this description information in query analyser. Can this be done? I used sp_help <table name> but it doesn't show the description.
Please advise. Thank you.
Best regards
I am trying to get the schema of database using the getschema method. However, the schema that is being returned does not include the description. I have added in table and column descriptions for some of my tables and columns but the dataset returned does not include the description column.

I am trying to figure out how to set the Description of a Column in my database table by making a SQL function call. I know that I can go into Microsoft Studio Express and type in each desciption for each column. I just have about 1000 variables and each variable's description is in an Excel spreadsheet. I want to be able to build SQL code that will set each of the 1000 variables own description.
Thanks for any help.

I have a function dbo.FIELD that extracts a part of the value from a field. I want to get two pieces and order by them.
Select failed: Warning: 169(15): A column has been specified more than once in the order by list. Columns in the order by list must be unique.
How can I do this?
SELECT WORK_ID FROM WORK ORDER BY dbo.FIELD(WORK_ID, '*', 2) ASC, dbo.FIELD(WORK_ID, '*', 1) ASC
These work:

SELECT WORK_ID FROM WORK ORDER BY dbo.FIELD(WORK_ID, '*', 2) ASC, dbo.FIELD('WORK_ID', '*', 1) ASC

Hi All,
I have never used PIVOT before but looks exactly what I want for this scenario:
I have rows of dates associated with ID of Hotels and Room avalability for each Hotel/Date..... I want to show the sum of the rooms per date as columns I am using something like this:SELECT dbHotelID ,[09/20/2007]as [Today],[09/21/2007]as [Today+1],[09/22/2007]as [Today+2] FROM vwRoomAvailable PIVOT (SUM(dbRoomNumber) FOR AvailableDate IN ([09/20/2007], [09/21/2007], [09/22/2007])) AS pAs you can see I know how may days I want in advance so know how many columsn so its not dynamic.. I just dont know what the dates are:I would like to do something like:
DECLARE @todayDate varchar(255),
DECLARE @todayPlusOne varchar(255),
DECLARE @todayPlusTwo varchar(255) SET @todayDate = CONVERT(CHAR, GETDATE(),101)SET @todayPlusOne = CONVERT(CHAR, DATEADD(d, 1, GETDATE(),101)SET @todayPlusTwo = CONVERT(CHAR, DATEADD(d, 2, GETDATE(),101) SELECT dbHotelID,@todayDate as Today,@todayPlusOne as [Today+1],@todayPlusTwo as [Today+2] FROM vwRoomAvailable PIVOT (SUM(dbHotelRoomAvailabilityNumber) FOR AvailableDate IN ([@todayDate], [@todayPlusOne], [@todayPlusTwo])) AS pBut I can’t seem to put the variable in the PIVOT value list or GETDATE() Anyone got any ideas or do I just try and do this another way and forgot PIVOT. I am using sql server 2005 express.
Thanks in advance.
