Searching In Tables
Dec 8, 2004Hi All,
Just wanted to run this idea past u all before I have a go at it.
I have two tables A & B that are similar to the below
Table A
Name1 Name2 Name3
Tom Bill John
Gary Harry Eric
TableB
Name1 Name2 Name3
John Bill Tom
Tom Eric john
Leslie Philip Colin
What I wanted to do is see if the the records from tableA row 1 exist in tableB
As you can see they can appear in any order, partially or not at all.
What I propose to do is take tableA Name1 and see if it matches tableb row1 name 1 OR name 2 OR name 3 and if I find a match use a variable to assign the the value 1 (so I can then see if the match is full (score three) partial socre 1 and two or not at all (0)
Then I will need do the same for tableA row 2
Then goto row 2 of table a and start again.
Does this make sense? Are there beter ways of doing this.
I am using SQL server to do the searching....?
All comments appreciated and welcome.

Searching Tables
Jun 3, 2008This subject probably isn't correct, but I'm not sure how else to describe what I want to do.
I have two tables.
Table 1:
Act_Num.....Code
1...........33
2...........23
3...........22
4...........26
5...........20
Table 2:
Part_ID.....Act_Listings
1927..........33 14
5819..........23 26
What I need to do is identify records from Table 2 that do not have an Activity in the Act_Listing field contained in Table 1. So for Part_ID=1927, code 33 exists in Table 1, but code 14 doesn't, so that record should be selected.
Searching In Large Tables........
Mar 7, 2007Hi there,i am having some problem related to SQL server........ Actually i am having a table called ZipCodes that have around 80,000 rows... and the size of the table is around 100 MB...... and my table is now on web Server,. now my problem is that when i fire some query that needs to go through whole of the table then it estimated time to execute the query comes to be 13 seconds and the corsor threshold is set to 7 seconds (and i can't change that)....... so the SQL server cancels the query to be fired........Now i need some Methodology/Technique through which i can search Large Tables with minimum calculations in minimum Time............(Any Ideas)....

View 4 Replies View RelatedSearching Thru Stored Procs Via The Sys Tables
Sep 3, 2003Basically, I want to be able to have a stored procedure that will search through all the stored procedures looking for a given string and returning the names of all the stored procs that contain that string value.
I know I can script it off and then do a text search in Notepad or whatever, but I figured there must be a more elegant way to do it. More than likely dealing with the DB sys tables.
Is there already a tool in SQL Server that does this? Or has anybody had a chance to roll their own?
Thanks,

Searching A List Of Tables, Derived From Another Table
Sep 21, 2005Relative SQL newbie here......this is probably easy, but....Lets say I have a table (MainTable) that stores a list of input table names,a primary key (PKey), and a field called "Configured" for each one. Each ofthese input tables also contain a field called "Configured", which is set totrue or false in another process based on an OrderNumber. (So an order'sinputs are stored in several input tables, and the MainTable is a summarytable that shows which input tables have been configured for any givenOrderNumber).What I need to do is open each input table, and look for a record containinga specific OrderNumber and where Configured=true. If a record is found, Ineed to update the Configured field for that table in the MainTable, andthen move on to the next sub-table.The way I'm doing it now is with simple SQL and loops. Here is the basiccode (ASP):*****************************************OrderNumber = "562613" ' the current order that is being processed' reset all configured flagssql = "UPDATE MainTable SET Configured = 0"conn.execute sql, , &H00000080' get list of all tablenamessql = "SELECT InputTableName, PKey FROM MainTable WHERE InputTableName <>'---'"set rsTableNames = conn.execute(sql)while not rsTableNames.eof' test each input table for configured flagsql = "SELECT Configured FROM " & rsTableNames("InputTableName")& _" WHERE Configured = 1 AND OrderNumber = '" & OrderNumber &"'"set rs = conn.execute(sql)If Not rs.EOF Then' update the main tablesql = "UPDATE MainTable SET Configured = 1 WHERE PKey='" &rsTableNames("PrimaryKey") & "'"conn.execute sql, , &H00000080end ifset rs = nothingrsTableNames.movenextwend*****************************************There has to be a faster way.. I think.... maybe something that could bewritten as a stored procedure? I use a similar technique in a couple ofother places and it's a bit of a performance hit, especially as the numberof input tables grows.TIA!Calan

Searching A Database...
Jul 26, 2006Hi,
This is the first database I have ever created, so please bear with me.
I've created a simple database with 1 column and about 80,000 rows. In each row is a word (basically a dictionary without definitions).
I have written a query which works, and is, as follows (you'll notice that i'm not the most original of people)
SELECT
word
FROM dbo.words
WHERE word= 'hello'
This finds the word hello.
In excel I have a row with 25 letters and then a column with every single combination of letters from 3 to 10 lettered words. (It makes sense to me!)
This comes back with a lot of possibilities (thousands), but is great in the sense that when I change any of the 25 letters the entire column automatically updates.
What I am trying to do is then take all of these possibilities and compare them against the dictionary.
I have written a line in excel which automatically creates a cell a bit like this, for the first couple of thousand possibilities:
WHERE word= 'abc' or word= 'fgm' or word= 'klm' or word= 'pqr' or word= 'uvw' or word= 'bcd' or word= 'ghi' or word= 'lmn' or word= 'qrs' or word= 'vwx'
I then whack this into the query from above and off it goes. The only problem is that the search takes ages, and because of limitations in excel I can't put more than a thousand or so words in the cell.
I am certain there is a faster way of searching through all the possibilities, any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Searching A Database
Oct 4, 2007Im trying to do a database query based on user input from a text field. I pulled apart the string that was
entered into the search form and stored it in textArray. The problem I
am having is when I include commmon words such as the, near, view and so
on into the search field I end up with zero results. when I only search
for less common words such as rocky and argentina for example the search
works fine. at first I thought that maybe it was generating too many
results and was screwing up but when i search for rocky it works and
when i search for near rocky it doesnt.
I realize the code might not be the most efficient but here it is...
@searches_pages, @searches = paginate(:searches, :per_page => 10,
:conditions => getSearch(textArray,params[:country]))
def getSearch(textArray,selectedCountry )
result = []
string = ""
if selectedCountry != "Optional Field"
string << "country = (?) and "
end
textArray.each do |x|
if textArray[textArray.length - 1] == x
string << "match(country,caption, keywords, notes) against
(?) "
else
string << "match(country, caption, keywords, notes) against
(?) and "
end
end
result << string
if selectedCountry != "Optional Field"
result << selectedCountry
end
textArray.each do |x|
result << x
end
result
end
Im not sure if i supplied enough information but I am trying to finish
this project soon so any type of responses would help. Also, if there
is an easier way to do an sql search based off of what is entered into
the search field please let me know. The reason I did this is because I
wasn't sure how many words the user would be entering into the field.
And without knowing this I could not hard code the conditions => so I
wrote a helper method.
Searching Database Through Asp.net
Oct 12, 2007OK I have a search page and the query that is being send from the search box is
"SELECT * FROM [problems] WHERE ((problemBody LIKE '%' + @search_id + '%')OR @search_id IS NULL)"
Now say I have in the column for problemBody "Search the database" If i Type in the search field search the, or the database, or data, ot search, or even just s it will bring back records, But if I do not use exact keywords such as "search database" it will not bring back anything. How do I make it search all the keywords used?? like a normal search engine.
Thanks
Database Searching
Jan 28, 2008
I am finishing up my senior project application but I wanted to include a search function that would search all the tables of the database and look for matching text that is input by the user. I am not really looking for code or anything just some pointers in the right direction. I was thinking that I would have to create a view that is populated by a sub-query. My problem is how do I output the results of a search of every relevent table in the database when they all have very different column names and data types? Im guessing column aliases are involved somehow but I am not really sure where I should start. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Searching For Values Within A Database?
Oct 2, 2014I've been given read access to a database and I also am looking at a GUI which draws data from the database. I am trying to map the results I see from the GUI to find the columns that the data is in... So.. big database, takes a long time to search the entire thing so I try to narrow it down by the following:
Code:
select * from information_schema.columns where table_schema = 'db19' and table_catalog = 'masterdb' and
table_name in(select table_name from information_schema.tables where table_type = 'base table' and table_catalog = 'masterdb' and table_schema = 'db19' and data_type in ('text' and 'varchar'))
This essentially gives me a list of tables and columns whos data type is either text or varchar. Once I have this list... I then run the following on each:
Code:
select top 1 [col_name] from [table_name] where [col_name] like ' (here is the value I want to search) '
So this runs through each table, looking to see if a value exists and if so, prints the result.
I am then left with a much much smaller list that I can manually look through and find the one I am looking to specifically find.
Is it possible to do this running only one query... where the output gives me all the columns in with a specific data type that contain a value I enter Anything else to make this more efficient
I am aware that there are data mining programs that could probably do this however I only have read access on the database which often causes a problem. The application I am using is "Aqua Data Studio" ....

Searching An Entire Database
Dec 28, 2005Hi, this is my first post on these forums, so please excuse me if this topic has already been covered.
I'm currently working in a power station for student vacation work placement. I need to export data from a database that gets it's data from machinery and inputs out in the plant. The machines that provide this input put it into a database, and I need to find the relevant data to export.
My problem is that, in some cases, the sample data that i'm given may be under different field names, in a completely unrelated table. I was looking for a way to search the entire database (250+ tables) for a certain string, so I can find where it is in the database, and run queries on the table it originates from. For example:
My sample data shows me that I have an object with the ID Y03A3DEA_TH1. I know this ID will occur somewhere else in the database, but i'm just not sure where.
If anyone knows of any way that I can search the entire database for specific data, either using tools in MS SQL 2000, or 3rd party apps, i would greatly appreciate their help.
Thanks a lot,

Oct 29, 2007Maybe a totally newbie question - I need to find some text in SQL database, I have no idea in which table it may be. Can I do it through SQL Management Studio 2005 or do I need some other utility? What would you suggest then?

Searching A Database Field For Null Value
Feb 27, 2008Hi,
I am building a website in ASP.net C# for a university project, and would like to search a table (Member) for a field (UserName) using a session variable Session["sUserName"]. If that field is null, then I would like to insert that session variable into the field to start to create a new user. However, I am getting errors saying that I am using invalid expression terms. My code is;
//Create the Command, passing in the SQL statement and the ConnectionString queryString = "SELECT UserName FROM Member WHERE (UserName = @myUsername); ";
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(queryString, sqlConn);cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@myUsername", Convert.ToString(Session["sUserName"])));
//If UserName is null, display confirmation, else display errorif (UserName == null) ;
{UserNameCheckLabel.Text = "Username okay";
String queryString = "INSERT INTO Member (UserName) VALUES(@myUsername); ";SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(queryString, sqlConn); cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@myUsername", Convert.ToString(Session["sUserName"])));
}else;
{UserNameCheckLabel.Text = "That username is in use";
}
I have a feeling I should be checking the database for the UserName, but I'm not sure whether to put this in the SELECT statement part or as a method... I would be most grateful for any advice!
Many thanks,
Chima

View 1 Replies View RelatedSearching Problem In Myanmar Text Database
Nov 13, 2006Hi!
I found a problem while retrieving/searching/filtering Myanmar Text with a Select Statement, In a Myanmar Text table there in a column called HeadWords.
It's Sample Data
HWID,HeadWords
1,|က|
2,|ကာ|
3,|ကိ|
4,|ကီ|
5,|ကဲ|
I want to make the following search:
SELECT * FROM TableName WHERE HeadWords LIKE '%|က|%' this should give me all entries that have a "|က|" *ANY* place in the HeadWords column. Right?
However, it gives me unproper results. you may see last two records have 2 characters between pipe(|).
HWID,HeadWords
1,|က|
3,|ကိ|
5,|ကဲ|
Since the wildcard character % means no or all characters it should work. And I've tried pipe, comma, forward slash and back slash.
The problem only seems to occur when the wildcard character is used for the any part of character. Let me know alternative way to search that matters. I've tried in MSAccess. There are same problem like MSSQL.
It's any problem in searching support for National Characters (UTF8). I've tried in OpenOffice Database with those data.
It's work fine.
If you not see Myanmar characters, please download fonts from http://www.fontmm.com/font_downloads.htm
Does anybody have an explanation to this, please let me know.
Thanks in advance!

Searching For Textbook That Deals With Design Of Database Servers
Jul 20, 2005Database design is well covered in undergrad CS. But does anyone know ofa textbook that deals with the design of database servers (and probablytouches on databases themselves), and perhaps deals with interpreting SQLinquiries?The motivation for this is that I wish to write a database server for aproprietaryoperating system (it resembles POSIX, but is not completely compliant)for an embedded processor system that exchanges queries from clients alsoemploying embedded processors. Stored data is all in one place.I'm a little familiar with the MySQL source code, but I don'twish to replicate something that complex. The sort of investmentI'm talking about should involve no more than three man, er, person-monthsby an experienced C++ programmer with plenty of experience in systemsand database programming for both Microsoft and Linux platforms.

Can I Export Tables So That Existing Tables In Destination Database Will Be Modified?
Jul 20, 2005I'm working on an ASP.Net project where I want to test code on a localmachine using a local database as a back-end, and then export it tothe production machine where it uses the hosting provider's SQL Serverdatabase on the back-end. Is there a way to export tables from oneSQL Server database to another in such a way that if a table alreadyexists in the destination database, it will be updated to reflect thechanges to the local table, without existing data in the destinationtable being lost? e.g. suppose I change some tables in my localdatabase by adding new fields. Can I "export" these changes to thedestination database so that the new fields will be added to thedestination tables (and filled in with default values), without losingdata in the destination tables?If I run the DTS Import/Export Wizard that comes with SQL Server andchoose "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the source database" and choosethe tables I want to copy, there is apparently no option *not* to copythe data, and since I don't want to copy the data, that choice doesn'twork. If instead of "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the sourcedatabase", I choose "Copy objects and data between SQL Serverdatabases", then on the following options I can uncheck the "CopyData" box to prevent data being copied. But for the "CreateDestination Objects" choices, I have to uncheck "Drop destinationobjects first" since I don't want to lose the existing data. But whenI uncheck that and try to do the copy, I get collisions between theproperties of the local table and the existing destination table,e.g.:"Table 'wbuser' already has a primary key defined on it."Is there no way to do what I want using the DTS Import/Export Wizard?Can it be done some other way?-Bennett

Integration Services :: Import Varying Number Of Tables Each Time From One Database To Different Database
Sep 9, 2015I am new to SSIS. I have been struggling with this for the past one week. I have a weird task. I need to import several tables from one database to a different server with a new database name. We need to do this at the end of every year. The main problem here is that the number of tables varies every year. You may not have all the tables as last year or may have more tables. So I need to create a dynamic task that takes care of this every year without changing the package.
I have performed the following tasks **
1. Create a new dynamic database. ( I have used Execute SQL Task to do this) 2. Copy all the table structures ( I have used Execute SQL Task to do this)
3. Import Data. This is the main problem. I was trying to create a dynamic connection string with variables as suggested in several forums but I finally came to know that this cannot be done if the table structures are different as the metadata cannot be refreshed at runtime.
4. The final step to create a process to validate the data (the count from each table for both source and destination. I think this can be done with Sql task.
What is the best method to do this? My DBA does not like “Transfer SQL Objects Task” or “transfer Database Task”. I would like to create this as a dynamic process.
SQL Security :: Cannot Expand List Of Database Tables Using Contained Database Login With Server Management Studio
Jul 30, 2015In SSMS, I connect Object Explorer to a partially contained database using a contained user login with password. This user has a database role of dbdatareader. When I try to expand the Tables in the database, I get the error:
The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'extended_properties', database 'mssqlsystemresource', schema 'sys'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 229)
Is there a way to set permissions for the contained user so that this could be done?
How Do You Copy Tables From Local Database To Web Hosting Database In 2005?
Nov 1, 2006I'm using SQL Server Management Studio Express and I'm trying to figure out how to copy a table(s) from my local database to my web hosting database. I know how to do it in 2000, but it's completely different now. Is this feature not allowed on SSMSE? If so, then how do I deploy database tables to a web host?Also, how do you add local database(s) to SSMSE? I tried to use 'attach database' in SSMSE and it wouldn't allow me to navigate to My Documents folder where the database resides. Thanks...
