GROUP BY Expressions Must Refer To Column Names That Appear In The Select List.
Jan 19, 2008Hi,
Is there any way to group variables present in a select statement.
My code:
SELECT @var1=something, @var2=something_else

I wanted to group by 'something' hence I used a variable to assign it to. But I'm unable to group it.
Any thoughts?

DB Design :: Getting The List Of Database Names From Remote Server?
Nov 2, 2015In our application we are copying data between 2 sqlserver databases using linked server. Say, sqlserver1 is source and sqlserver2 is destination, then, our application will be on sqlserver2 box and will copy data from sqlserver1 to sqlserver2.
User also need to choose from which database of sqlserver1, the data need to be copied. This data is our application data.. Nothing related to sqlserver database.
We are using the following query, to get the database names of the source sqlserver..
SELECT * FROM <linked server to dest db>.master.sys.databases
My questions is : is this query generic enough that works on all sqlserver versions?
Is the master database name of sqlserver configurable or its alwasys fixed as "master"?

Get Column Names From Table
Nov 15, 2005Hi All,
I was wondering how would I get the column names from a table? Not the results just a listing of column names. What is the command to get this information? I am using MS Access, but I posted here because MS SQL is the closest thing on this forum and the syntax is usually similar.
Thanks a bunch.

View 2 Replies View RelatedPrepending Column Names By Table
Oct 4, 2006I wasn't sure whether or not to post this in the .NET or MsSQL forum, mods please move accordingly.
Say I have two tables: Store, and Area that have the following columns:
Area:
AreaID, AreaName, Description
Store:
StoreID, AreaID, StoreName, Description
When I run the following query :
SELECT * FROM Area, Store WHERE Area.AreaID = Store.AreaID, the following columns come back from the .NET SQLDataReader
AreaID, AreaName, Description, StoreID, AreaID, StoreName, Description
Even though the Description fields are different there is no differentiation between which one is which (other than an integer index)
Is there a way to form the SQL query so the columns come back
Area.AreaID, Area.AreaName, Area.Description etc...
I was hoping to do something like the following
Select Area.* as 'Area.'.* ...
but that wasn't liked by the SQL server, any ideas?
Note: The actual tables are more complex than this, and the table names aren't static. Individually aliasing columns won't work, nor will checking the alias.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow To Determine Table And Column Names In A Trigger?
May 5, 2008Hi all,
I'm new to this whole trigger 'thing', so forgive me if this question has been asked and answered a few times already.
I'm in the process of writing a trigger that will send an e-mail to an application admin when any table within a given database is altered (IE, a column is added or deleted). I can get the e-mail to fire off when that happens without any issue, but I'd like to be able to let the admin know which table was tweaked and what new column was added.
Is this a relatively easy thing to do and I'm just not finding the right built-in variable name, or does something more need to be done?
Thanks,

View 2 Replies View RelatedCompare Column Names From Two Tables In Same Database
May 17, 2008I'm not a full-time DBA, so excuse my style of expressing my question.I have a database which has 2 tables in SQL 2005. Both these tables have similar column names, EXCEPT for new extra columns in FY2007_DATA. I can visually see the difference in columns in Database Diagrams. My goal is to :- I want to compare FY2007 tbl column names to FY2006 column names and display only those columns as results that do not match.Tbl 1 :- FY2006_DATA Tbl 2:-
FY2007_DATA
With online reading and help I have managed to get this script to do exactly opposite of what i want. Below is the query
/* This query compares the column names from two tables and displays the ones that have an exact match. It does not care for case-sensitiveness */
Select a.Table_Name, a.Column_Name, (b.Table_Name), (b.column_name)
From [2006-2011].INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns AS a
Join [2006-2011].INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns AS b on a.Column_Name = b.Column_Name
Where a.TABLE_NAME = 'FY2006_DATA'
And b.TABLE_NAME = 'FY2007_DATA'
AND a.Column_Name IN
(Select Column_Name = LEFT(c.column_name, 20) FROM
[H1B_2006-2011].INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns AS c WHERE c.TABLE_NAME = 'FY2007_DATA' )
When I change "AND a.Column_Name IN.." to "AND a.Column_Name NOT IN.." so that the results will (should) display the extra columns in FY2007, in fact I do not see any results, but query executes perfect.
How can I achieve my goal.?
Thank you

SQL Question: Change Column Names Of Temp Table In SP
Apr 21, 2004Hi,
I have a SP which returns a select query on a temp table so I get to choose column names
when I create the #table.
Can I determine column names myself based on the results of another query (in the SP)
before, or (preferably) after I create the #table and populate it.
My query is used to bind to a datagrid so I could use....
dataGrid.Columns[index].HeaderText and set it to a particular output parameter, but I want
to keep the code in the SQL.
Cheers

View 1 Replies View RelatedAmbiguous Column Names In Multi-Table Join
Jun 21, 2006Hi all,A (possibly dumb) question, but I've had no luck finding a definitiveanswer to it. Suppose I have two tables, Employees and Employers, whichboth have a column named "Id":Employees-Id-FirstName-LastName-SSNetc.Employers-Id-Name-Addressetc.and now I perform the following join:SELECT Employees.*, Employers.*FROM Employees LEFT JOIN Employers ON (Employees.Id=Employers.Id)The result-set will contain two "Id" columns, so SQL Server willdisambiguate them; one column will still be called "Id", while theother will be called "Id1." My question is, how are you supposed toknow which "Id" column belongs to which table? My intuition tells me,and limited testing seems to indicate, that it depends on the order inwhich the table names show up in the query, so that in the aboveexample, "Id" would refer to Employees.Id, while "Id1" would refer toEmployers.Id. Is this order guaranteed?Also, why does SQL Server use such a IMO brain-damaged technique tohandle column name conflicts? In MS Access, it's much morestraightforward; after executing the above query, you can use"Employees.Id" and "Employers.Id" (and more generally,"TableNameOrTableAlias.ColumnName") to refer to the specific "Id"column you want, instead of "Id" and "Id1" -- the"just-tack-on-a-number" strategy is slightly annoying when dealing withcomplex queries.--Mike S
