Hi,
Is there any way to group variables present in a select statement.
My code:
SELECT @var1=something, @var2=something_else
FROM ...
GROUP BY @var1
I wanted to group by 'something' hence I used a variable to assign it to. But I'm unable to group it.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Thanks.
I want to get the names of the databases of the server using OleDbConnection in c# which i have to add in to a combobox.....the same task i achieved using SqlConnection where in there is a Class SqlClientCollectionNames...the code is as followsusing (SqlConnection connection =new SqlConnection("Data Source=server;User ID=username;Password=passwd")) { connection.Open(); DataTable myData = connection.GetSchema(SqlClientMetaDataCollectionNames.Databases); foreach (DataRow row in myData.Rows) comboBox1.Items.Add(row[0]); connection.Close();} but the same i did for OleDbConnection it is not working using (OleDbConnection connection =new OleDbConnection("Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=server;User ID=username;Password=passwd"))
{
connection.Open();
DataTable myData = connection.GetSchema(SqlClientMetaDataCollectionNames.Databases);//no such method Databases present in OleDb namespace

In 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"?
I'm using the following syntax to extract a list of all the table names on a linked server:
EXEC sp_tables_ex
@table_server = MY_SERVER_NAME
It outputs a list of tables into 4 columns in the result window.Is there a way an can use this as a 'SELECT * FROM ... " command so that I can organize records, insert into, etc etc ?
I have a scenario where I need to move a series of files from within a directory of many files. The files follow no nameing convention and are more of less random. However the file names never change from week to week. I tried various different options in a 'file system task', no go.
Any ideas on how to move only a list of files?
or
can I load only specific files into a 'Foreach Loop container' from a certain directory. I tried delimiting file names in the file source, that did not work.
Either way can work,
Thanks

Hello,
Maybe anyone have done that before?
I have table where i store SOURCE_TABLE_NAME and DESTINATION_TABLE_NAME, there is about 120+ tables.
i need make SSIS package which selects SOURCE_TABLE_NAME from source ole db, and loads it to DESTINATION_TABLE_NAME in destination ole db.
I made such SSIS package. set ole db source data access mode to table or view name variable.
set ole db destination data access mode to table or view name variable. set to variables defoult values (names of existing tables)
but when i loop table names is changed, it reports error, that can map columns, becouse in new tables is different columns.
how to solve that problem?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi, i need a query to have the columns names !!
If you have another solution, let me know !!

Hi
When I run this query..
SELECT COLUMN_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME='TableTest'
I get all the column names, but the result is not in the same order as when I check the design for the table, why is that?
At my work, we are upgrading a number of MS Access 2000 databases to SQL Server 2000. Many of the columns have names that do not follow the rules for Identifiers. For example there are columns with a numeric names 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. There are also columns with a hyphen in the name and columns that begin with a number and not an underscore or an alpha character. Plus there are columns with names like first, last, position, etc. (There was also columns with reserved words used as the names. I have changed those column names in the databases that I have already converted) Will leaving these names alone create a problem? The database serves as the backend to ASP pages.

Hello,I'm still extremely novice to SQL and I've tried googling how to produce this result but I've been encountering a lot dynamic sql commands which isn't exactly what I want. If this is an ignorant question I do apologize but heres my scenario: I have a table with columns of the day, for instance: Monday_hasData (bit)Monday_DataAnd what I want to do is essentially pass in "Monday" as a parameter and rather than doing an If statement on each row, I would like to just like to do something like assign @dayCheck + "_hasData" to a variable and then use @dayCheck as part of my query. Is this possible or am I going to have to have 7 cases? Thank you for any input,Chance

Hi,
I have a table in which out of 20 columns, there will be data only in a few columns. So, I need to find those column names which have data in them. I was able to do it using the information_schema and using a cursor to loop through all the column names and find out which columns have data in them. But i need to know if there is a more efficient way of doing this without using the cursor. Can somebody please let me know how this can be done without using a cursor? Thank you.
Hi is possible to create dynamic column name
example
Declare
@StartDate as dateTime
Select @StartDate = '2004-06-05'
select
SUM(Case When table1_date BETWEEN dateadd(day,-6,@StartDate) and @StartDate then 1 else 0 end)AS [dateadd(day,-6,@StartDate)],
SUM(Case When table1_date BETWEEN dateadd(day,-13,@StartDate) and dateadd(day,-7,@StartDate) then 1 else 0 end)AS [dateadd(day,-13,@StartDate)]

i have a table with Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. .... Sunday
i get the weekday by
select @stat = datename(dw, getdate()) which in this case is Wednesday
but when i do something like
select top 2 * from myTable
where 'myTable.'+@stat = 1
which is as same as
select top 2 * from myTable
where myTable.wednesday = 1
i receive a syntax error. how can i dynamically select myTable.Wednesday ?
i also tried using
select top 2 * from Intercon
where '@stat' = '1'
but then this doesn't return anything where it should.
any help?
Is there a way that you could get the column names for each table in a database using 1 query?
something like:
tbl colname
t1 catID
t1 catName
t2 prodID
t2 prodDesc
t3 cartID
...
...
I know it would be long, but I would just be searching through the saved output for specific names.
Hi 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.

SQL server throws an exception when I try to run the following code:
ALTER TABLE contacts ADD default ntext NULL;
The reason for that is that "default" is an SQL keyword.
The way I handle this now is I put an underscore at the front:
ALTER TABLE contacts ADD _default ntext NULL
Is there a cleaner way to handle this, i.e. to keep the column name "default" and forse sql server to create a column with this name?
Thank you!
Morning guys,
I have a project where Iam suppose to script all columns in every database/table/columns on the network.
I figured the best way to do this would be using sql-dmo (Sql Server 2000)
Does anyone have any suggestions on getting started with this project?
thanks,
Jonathan
