SQL Server 2012 :: Find Common Link Between Two Tables In Database Without Key Constraints?

Jul 17, 2015

CREATE TABLE [Table 1] (
Id varchar,
TableTwoId varchar,
OtherData varchar )
CREATE TABLE [Table 2] (
Id varchar,
MoreData varchar )

What is the link between these two tables?

I have databases that have zero keys defined, no foreign key constraints, no unique value constraints. I cannot assume that an Identity column is the Id. The end game is be able to output that [Table 1].[TableTwoId] = [Table 2].[Id] but cannot assume that all linkage in the database will be as simple as saying "if the field name contains a table name + Id then it is the Id in that table."

Currently have written a script that will cycle through all columns and start identifying keys in singular tables based on the distinctness of the values in each column (i.e. Column1 is 99% distinct so is the unique value). It will also combine columns if the linkage is the combination of one or more columns from Table 1 = the same number of columns in Table 2. This takes a long time, and it somewhat unreliable as IDENTITY columns may seem to relate to one another when they don't.

Find Common Value In Column For 30 Tables

Mar 21, 2006

Hi,

I am trying to query for a common value in a column called "file_auth_nbr" in 30 different tables. I was going to try something like this (see below) but wasn't sure if this was the most efficient, fastest, or correct, way to get what I'm looking for:

Select distinct a.file_auth_nbr from table1 as a
join table2 as b
on a.file_auth_nbr = b.file_auth_nbr
join table3 as c
on a.file_auth_nbr = c.file_auth_nbr
join table4 as d
on a.file_auth_nbr = d.file_auth_nbr
join table5 as e
on a.file_auth_nbr = e.file_auth_nbr
......etc., etc.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated,
Jeff

SQL Server 2012 :: Unable To Link Data After Import From XML Into Tables

Aug 13, 2015

I'm pulling data from XML into tables, but I'm unsure how to link the data after it's imported. This example has names and tasks, and I can pull the data into two tables, but I can't find any way to link the task to the appropriate person. My person and task tables populate without issue, but there's nothing I can find to link the rows together. So in this example Test 1 would go to the first two Tasks and Test 2 would go to the second two work items.

DECLARE @XML TABLE (XMLData XML);
DECLARE @Person Table (Name NVARCHAR(50), Addresss NVARCHAR(50));
DECLARE @Task Table (Name NVARCHAR(50), Details NVARCHAR(50));
INSERT INTO @XML SELECT '
<process>
<header>
<Person><Name>Test1</Name><Address>123 main street</Address></Person>

[Code] .....

Access2003 Cannot Link (but Excel2003 Can Link) To Tables In Access97 Database

Feb 20, 2008

I have created an Access2003 project (existing data) that links to external data. First I connected to a SQL Server 2000 database. Success. Then I tried to set up a Transact SQL data connection to a legacy MDW-secured Access97 database. (A third-party VB6 application goes against it, and we don't have the source code, so we cannot upgrade it.)

The Transact SQL link tests OK but I cannot select any of the tables or queries from the list presented. However, with the same credentials, I can use these same objects in Excel 2003.

When setting up the link in Access2003, I specify JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider, I enter the MDW file on the All tab, a username and a password on the Connection tab where I browse to the MDB file, and specify Shared Deny None on the Advanced tab. When I test the connection, it tests OK ("Test connection succeeded"). Yet on the "Select the Database and Table/Cube which contains the data you want" dialog, "(Default)" appears in the grayed-out dropdown. Then, beneath that dropdown, there is a grid with Name and Description columns. The grid contains query names but the grid is not enabled. The list of queries is this table is grayed out. Neither of the scrollbars works.

BUT... if I use the SAME username and password in Excel2003, and specify the same MDW, there is no problem working with these same database objects in the legacy Access97 database. WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THE WIZARD IN EXCEL THAT ALLOWS IT TO SUCCEED AND THE WIZARD IN ACCESS THAT CAUSES IT TO FAIL HERE? In Excel, the list of available providers says Microsoft Access Driver, not JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider.

Thanks

SQL Server 2012 :: Find Queries That Lock Tables Or Not Using Primary Key While Running Update

Jul 20, 2015

I need to search for such SPs in my database in which the queries for update a table contains where clause which uses non primary key while updating rows in table.

If employee table have empId as primary key and an Update query is using empName in where clause to update employee record then such SP should be listed. so there would be hundreds of tables with their primary key and thousands of SPs in a database. How can I find them where the "where" clause is using some other column than its primary key.

If there is any other hint or query to identify such queries that lock tables, I only found the above few queries that are not using primary key in where clause.

Link Tables From One Database To Another In MS SQL

Oct 18, 2006

Hello all, I have a quick question. Is it possible to create linked tables in MS SQL, similar to the was MS Access does?

I have a new application(x) that is going to be dependant on another application(y). I just want to link 5 or 6 tables from y into x for the purpose of not duplicating information. Is this possible?

I apologize if I seem a little lacking in the knowledge of MS SQL, I am new to it and trying to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan

Truncate Database Tables Based On Foreign Key Constraints

Nov 5, 2007

Guys,

I have 600 tables in my database, out of which 40 tables are look up value tables. I want generate truncate scripts which truncates all the tables in order of Parent child relationship excluding lookup tables. Is there any way to do this apart from figuring out Parent Child relationship and then writing the truncate statements for each of the table.

For example

EmployeeDetail table references Employee table
DepartmentDetail table references Department table
Department table references Employee table

My truncate script should be

TRUNCATE TABLE DEPARTMENTDETAIL
TRUNCATE TABLE EMPLOYEEDETAIL
TRUNCATE TABLE DEPARTMENT
TRUNCATE TABLE EMPLOYEE

Is there any automated way to figure out parent and child tables and generate truncate script for the same.

Thanks

SQL Server 2012 :: How To Group Near Duplicate Records Under A New Common Field

Aug 26, 2015

I've inherited a table of members that has the following structure:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[dimMember](
[dimMemberId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[dimSourceSystemId] [int] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_dimMember_dimSourceSystemId] DEFAULT ((-1)),
[MemberCode] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,
[FirstName] [nvarchar](250) NOT NULL,
[LastName] [nvarchar](250) NOT NULL,

[Code] ....

Based on the way the data loads into the table there's a possibility of some records being near duplicates of each other. For example, we can have a member that has records that have the same first name, last name, SSN, but different addresses, membercodes, subscribercode etc... This can happen in pretty much any variation thereof.

What I want to do, is add a new column and use that to group the similar records under based on comparing on several columns. By this I mean, if a member matches 4 of the 7 values below with another member, we would group these:

First Name (1st 3 characters)
Last Name
DOB
CurrentAddress1
MemberCode
SSN
SubscriberCode

I'm at a loss of how to structure the SQL to update the new column in the table.

SQL Server 2012 :: Filtering Common Table Expression Within View

Sep 1, 2015

I have a multi-tenant database where each row and each table has a 'TenantId' column. I have created a view which has joins on a CTE. The issue I'm having is that entity framework will do a SELECT * FROM MyView WHERE TenantId = 50 to limit the result set to the correct tenant. However it does not limit the CTE to the same TenantId so that result set is massive and makes my view extremely slow. In the included example you can see with the commented line what I need to filter on in the CTE but I am not sure how to get the sql plan executor to understand this or weather it's even possible.I have included a simplified view definition to demonstrate the issue...

ALTER VIEW MyView
AS
WITH ContactCTE AS(
SELECT Col1,
Col2,
TenantId

Cannot Link To SQL Tables Using ODBC Link Table In Access 2003

Feb 3, 2006

When trying to link to an SQL table in Access 2003, the software appears to be malfunctioning. 

The sequence of events is File - Get External Data - Link Tables - Files of Type: ODBC Databases().

The Problem: On two of my computers, the select data source window does not pop up, preventing me from linking to any ODBC data source. 

Observations:  This function has worked normally in the recent past and works on other computers running Access 2003.  One difference between the computers working and non-working computers is Norton Antivirus 2006 (recent upgrade).

Has anyone experienced anything like this?  What's going on?

Link MS SQL Server 2000 Tables

Mar 18, 2004

Hello All,

I am new to this forum and hope that some one can help me with this problem.

I know that in MS Access you can have a linked table in your databse such that as long a the like is not broken, it behaves similar to any other table in the database.



My problem is that I need to do the same thing for multiple databases that I have on a MS SQL Server that ALL currently have copies of the same table in common.

I wish to have a single table that they all share and have access to just link any other table that they currently have but is actually linked.

Can this be done?

And if so, then could someone please guide me in this?

My logic is that if MS Access can link tables then I could suspect that MS SQL Server should be able to also, but I could be wrong.

Thanks in advance,
Lonnie
