Hi! I'm trying to rename tables in a msde database, without succeeding. Simple question, I guess, but I can't find out how to do this. I know this doesn't work though:--- Dim connectionString As String = "server='(local)'; trusted_connection=true; database='GustafTest1'"Dim cn As System.Data.IDbConnection = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionString)Dim dbCommand As System.Data.IDbCommand = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
cn.Open()
Dim queryString As String = "RENAME TABLE table1 TO table2" '"ALTER TABLE [table1] RENAME TO [table2]"
dbCommand.CommandText = queryString dbCommand.Connection = cndbCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()---The reason to why I want to do this is that I'm updating the information of my system, and store the new data in a temporary table during update, in case something goes wrong. If the storing goes alright, the newly loaded the old table is renamed to backup_table and the temporary table is renamed from updating_table to active_table.That is a good solution, right?Thanx,Jon Engström, Sweden
We currently have the problem, that all our machines are produced with the same name and afterwards the name is changed. So we have the problem that the checksum key for the MSDE isn't valid anymore. As MSDE can only be installed from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem. Does anyone know a solution for this problem ?? A program recalculating the cheksum ??
Does any one know a utility / script that could be used to connect to remote SQL server DB and rename/delete some tables... DOn't have Enterprise Manager right now and need this urgently .....
Hello, I have a situation where I'm coding a database upgrade utility for my current project in Java. I have to rename the current version of each table to tablename_orig and then create the new version of the table from a text file which contains a create table statement. Once the new table is created, I compare the table definitions and do a bunch of other stuff. The problem is that I don't seem to be able to find a way to rename the table through SQL. I know that in Oracle I can use a Create Synonym statement, but how can I rename tables for SQL Server? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, this might be a newbie question as I don't know too much about databases.My web host only lets me have 1 database, so I am trying to rename all the tables with a prefix, then import them to the server. I'm using MsSql-2005, VWD, Management Studio Express.My error when I run the .sql script is:Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedure vw_aspnet_MembershipUsers, Line 3Invalid object name 'dbo.aspnet_Membership'.Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedure vw_aspnet_Users, Line 3Invalid object name 'dbo.aspnet_Users'.Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedure vw_aspnet_Profiles, Line 3Invalid object name 'dbo.aspnet_Profile'....I suspect that it is because I renamed the "aspnet_Membership" table to "Company1_aspnet_Membership" (I made a database diagram, then renamed the aspnet tables in Properties). Has anyone run into this before? Does anyone know how to fix it?

Is there a way to disable to automatic renaming of source tables by the View editor? (SLQ Server 2008 R2)
I have a view that is using several sub-queries (including a "rank/partition") and even though each sub-query is contained in ( ) and given an alias, the view designer automatically adds the _1, _2 to all of the tables it thinks are duplicates, which then invalidates the and explicit field calls in CASE WHEN statements ...

I have a MSDE database and I need to delete the contents of the exitingtables and then import new data on a scheduled basis from an ODBC datasource (preferable through a system DSN). This was easy to do in SQL2000 Enterprise given the DTS tools and then just scheduling a job thruthe agent.Is there an example of how I could do this just using scripts and MSDE(like a stored proc)? It looks like I have the agent still in MSDE touse.Help appreciated.Thanks,Frank*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

Hello, I am a beginner using MSDE & Visual Basic.NET standard version (not Visual Studio.NET) . MSDE was downloaded from microsoft.com yesterday, which is sql2ksp3.exe.
I'm not sure if it's the setup I did wrong, but I can't seem to get my text datatype in my database to store more than 900 characters. I'm trying to setup a news database for my website, which will populate the information into a datagrid. To test, I manually added a news item in the database through the visual studio 2003 gui. I immediately noticed a problem as the I was getting an error after a long news item saying:
"The value you entered is not consistent with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit."
I couldn't find anthing to set the buffer limit and the datatype is "text" filled with simple text in the column. As a further test, I simply entered 12334567890123... up to 900 characters and still recevied the error.
I would appreciate someone leading me in the right direction on this one.
I am trying to change the computer name of a machine running MSDE but I get an error when SQL Server starts. With regular SQL when I change the name of a computer I re-run setup and setup fixes this problem. MSDE can only be installed from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem.
My question is "How do I change the name of a computer running MSDE with out reinstalling MSDE"
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this this question but I'll give it a shot.
The only db development that I have ever done is in MS Access. I have a project at work that is being accomplished in VB and I need a db engine to use as the back end. Visual studio came with a copy of MSDE. Is this tool worth using or should I invest in mySQL? Are there any advantages to using MSDE over mySQL?
I need to rename my 2000 Server running an instance of SQL 2000. My question is this, will I have to reinstall SQL after the rename or will it come back up detecting the new server name. I am in a domain as a stand alone server.
I searched, but couldn't find anything to match what I am looking for...
Basically, is there any way to tell DTS to create a new table each time that the backup is run? I am scheduling the backup for 1 hour intervals for 5 days, but need the databases that are backed up to be unique, so i would end up wiht 120 of them total.
Is there any way to do this through DTS? Or am I hosed?
hi, I had a table and it has certain dependecies(like stored proc.). I rename the table and created anew one with same name.this new table did not inherited all the dependecies which it should. To say, I had a table TAB.I renamed it to TAB_old and made a new table with name TAB.When I go to SEM and click on 'Display Dependencies' table TAB is not showing anything whereas TAB_old is stil showing all the dependecies.I even ran Update stats and sp_updatestats. any idea what is this going on..... TIA
After I renamed the server. Jobs that exsisted before I renamed the server are still associated with the original server name. It has associated those jobs with the original server and assumes that the original server is the MSX server. I do not have multiple instances running on the server and do not want it that way. Is there a way to change the originating server? Or remove the MSX server?
Example SERVER_A renamed to SERVER_B and SERVER_B renamed to SERVER_A
It is easy enough to change the NT box name. Other than using sp_DropServer and sp_AddServer, is there any other changes (updates) we need to make to SQL server or any system tables???

I am using SQL Server Management Studio with SQL Server 2005. On my development SQL server, I have developers using a database named TestData. An off-site developer has sent new versions of TestData.MDF and TestData.LDF. I want to attach this new database to the same development server for testing, without overwriting the existing database in use by the developers. How can I rename this new TestData to something like TestDataNew while attaching it? I only have the MDF and LDF files.
I need to rename the Columns of a table in SQL Server 2005. The table is consisting of nearly 200 columns and the requirement is that every column needs to be appended with a name that would be given by me.

now I need to add a code say "Appl" before every column so that after the code is run, the column names sholud be changed as
I have had a go at using a package with a script to rename and move a file and it works well by using a script task in a package with source and destination variables. See script at bottom But in my scenario the file thst comes in every day will have a slightly different name. It will be called "System_UT_INCR_BOOKINGHEADER_20080228000000.TXT" On the 28th Feb. The date part of the title changes everyday.
SO i need to adjust my "Source" variable which is currently just a string with a value of "C:DatafilesimportsSystem_UT_INCR_BOOKINGHEADER_20080228000000.TXT" So it will only ever look for that exact file name
