Hello, it seems I forgot how to do it, I want to create a query to get the column description table, I mean get structure without data. I remember it was select DESC or something like that, donno if im right!!!
I am having trouble bringing "description" column in to my sp and them at the out put. in the ppatient_status_mstr there is a column called“description” which has patient status such as “discharged” “termed collection” etc... How do I use the SP to bring this description into application? I am assigning it to @mytext. I am not sure how to declare “description” in the SP? Every time I use it I get errors like:
Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Procedure CheckStatus, Line 20 The multi-part identifier "pm.alerts_ind" could not be bound. Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Procedure CheckStatus, Line 40 Invalid column name 'description'. Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Procedure CheckStatus, Line 43 Invalid column name 'description'.
I want to say if user picks a description from application . show me that description in output. But I am having trouble how to use the description? I am not sure if my “IF” statements are correct either?
Here is the procedure
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[CheckStatus] (@enc_id varchar(36) OUTPUT, @Mytext varchar(50) OUTPUT, @data_ind Char(1) OUTPUT) AS BEGIN DECLARE @alerts_ind char(1)
Okay guys heres the senario.I have written a kick butt asp application that allows me to test sqlstatements and manage/display all my databases from the web but I havea feature I want to include that I can't figure out how. In EnterpriseManager, one of the column editable properties is the ColumnDescription. I can't find it in sql server itself. only in theEnterprise Manager. I need to access it using a sql statement so thatit will display in my table definiation view that I create in the aspapp.
I have a big problem with SQL server2000. I can't get COLUMN DESCRIPTION. I will print DATADICTIONARY from a DB, I can get all elemnts (table name, columns name, datatype, precision, scale, FK, PK, default value..) I missed only DESCRIPTION. How I can get it????
I've tried looking in sys.syscolums and sys.syscomments, but I can't seem to find where the Description information is retain for a Field in the system tables -- any hints?
Hi, all.. I want to know the query to retrieve Column information that we can see from table Design view of Enterprise manager, such as Column name, Pk or not, FK table, Data Type, Null or not, Description(Specially Descrition).
I have created a table with short name as the file name but have entered the description in the column box (when creating a new table - see attached). I would like to show this description information in query analyser. Can this be done? I used sp_help <table name> but it doesn't show the description.
I am trying to get the schema of database using the getschema method. However, the schema that is being returned does not include the description. I have added in table and column descriptions for some of my tables and columns but the dataset returned does not include the description column.
Any idea on how to get the description to be output?

I am trying to figure out how to set the Description of a Column in my database table by making a SQL function call. I know that I can go into Microsoft Studio Express and type in each desciption for each column. I just have about 1000 variables and each variable's description is in an Excel spreadsheet. I want to be able to build SQL code that will set each of the 1000 variables own description.
I have a SQL Query issue you can find in SQL Fiddle
SQL FIDDLE for Demo
My query was like this
For Insert Insert into Employee values('aa', 'T', 'qqq') Insert into Employee values('aa' , 'F' , 'qqq') Insert into Employee values('bb', 'F' , 'eee') Insert into Employee values('cc' , 'T' , 'rrr') Insert into Employee values('cc' , 'pp' , 'aaa') Insert into Employee values('cc' , 'Zz' , 'bab') Insert into Employee values('cc' , 'ZZ' , 'bac') For select select col1,MAX(col2) as Col2,Max(Col3) as Col3 from Employee group by Col1
Hi I have a gridview with a sql data source and a few drop down lists where i choose values to sorth what i would like to retrive from the table. The problem im facing is that when i pass values to the database, i can sort out and retrive my items when both my listboxes have selected values. But when i want to select everything from the table where the column = clumn or cloumn = value i dont get anything back. I have 2 dropdown lists. One for category and one for location. These are populated drom the database by selecting the column and retriving destinct values. I have a function that fires when one of the dropdown lists are changed witch changes the sql datasource select value so it retrives items sorted by the selected categories and locations. Here is the function: protected void DropDownList_Change(object sender, EventArgs e) { string Category = DropDownListKategori.SelectedValue.ToString(); string Location = DropDownListEtabl.SelectedValue.ToString(); SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "SELECT ARTNR, ARTTYP, AKTIVITET, DATUM, KUND, PLATS, KOMMENTAR FROM ARTIKEL WHERE ARTTYP = @ARTTYP AND PLATS = @PLATS"; SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters.Clear(); SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters.Add(@"ARTTYP", Category); SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters.Add(@"PLATS", Location); SqlDataSource1.DataBind(); } The dropdown lists have an option to not retrive values by category or location. I have set that value to PLATS and ARTTYP thinking the query would would retrive everything if these were selected SELECT ARTNR, ARTTYP, AKTIVITET, DATUM, KUND, PLATS, KOMMENTAR FROM ARTIKEL WHERE ARTTYP = ARTTYP AND PLATS = PLATS however if both these drop down lists are set to not filter, my query gets nothing in return. And if one of the lists has this selected and ther other one has a value, say a location or something nothing is retrived either. However if both columns have something selected i do get values returned. My speculation is that the query beeing run when this happens is that it is trying to find columns having the value ARTTYP or PLATS (category or location), as a string and actually seeing it as Im trying to retrive values where column = column. Any suggestions on how i can make my query run as intended or is there another problem Im not seeing.
Hi :From a crystal report i get a list of employee firstnames as a stringinto my store procedure. Why is it comming this way ? hmmmmmm it's aquestion for me too.ex: "e1,e2,e3"here are my tablestblProjectsProjectId123tblEmployeeemployeeId FirstName1 e12 e23 e3tblProjectsToEmployeeProjectId employeeId1 11 21 32 12 23 13 23 34 14 3i need to find out the project ids all 3 of these employees worked on.so the out put i need isprojectId13How can i get it ????????????now i can use replace command to format it to a OR clause or ANDclauseSET @string= 'employeeId =' + '''' + REPLACE('e1,e2,e3',',',''' ORemployeeId = ''') + ''''some thing like this.OR clause will give me all 4 projects.in('e1','e2','e3') will give me all 4 projects.of cause AND command will not give me any.other method i tried was adding the employee table 3 times into thesame SQL string and doing some thing likeWHERE (empTable1.Firstname ='e1' AND (empTable1.Firstnamein('e2','e3'))AND (empTable2.Firstname ='e2' AND (empTable1.Firstname in('e1','e3'))AND ...and goes alone. this gives me some what i needed. but it's a verymessy way of doing it, because i get a comma seperated stringparameter i have to construct the sql string on the fly.any help or direction on this matter would greatly appreciated.thankseric
Is it possible to get a list of rows from Multiple tables which have the same Column Name. I have 3 tables which comtain similar info and I want to get a list of Names the structure is
ID;Name;Address;Phone No.

But this does not work.
Is there a nice way of doing this with SQL or should I do code outside the SQL DB

Hi, I am having two tables Products and Transaction
In products I have ProductID and Description. (10 Records) In Transaction I have ProductID, Lot, Quantity and ListID . ( 4 Million Records)
When I use the inner join between these tables as below query its taking lot of time to give output.
select ProductID, Desc, Lot, qty from Products inner join Transactions on Products.ProductID = Transactions.ProductID where ListID = '9090909'
otherwise, if I use the below query its takes very few milli seconds to give output but I am not able to get the description from the product table. select * from Transactions TR where TR.ListID= '9090909' and TR.ProductID in
(select NDC from Products where Products.ProductID = TR.ProductID)
Any from can help me to get the description too at very few times.
I have a table with one row for each test a user has taken, with columns for userid, score, and test date. I have a query that gets the highest score and the date of the latest test for each user. Easy. But how can I also get the score achieved on the latest test for each agent?
Thanks, John

Godwin writes "Hello, Heres my question.. I have 2 tables.2 paticular columns exist in both the tables. I want to be able to select those 2 columns on the 1st table and insert them on to the same 2 columns on the 2nd table.
Now,this 2nd table has another 3 columns that exist in another table.I would like to take those 3 column values from that 3rd table and insert it into the 2nd table by modifying those existing records in the 2nd table.In the 3rd table,there will be around 5 records...I want to copy the existing records 5 times in the 2nd table and insert the 3rd tables rows inside the 2nd table in that respective column for 5 rows.
I hope you understand what I mean...Im sorry for really confusing.. Please help me Thanks Godwin"
I've got an OLEDB DB2 linked server to a db2/AS400 instance and selecting from a table on the server has never caused problems before. One of the columns is a large text field. If I select all the columns but the large text field, it returns as normal, but including the large text field now, I get:
"Transport error: shared memory provider error: 0 - no process is on the other end of the pipe"
The largest entry in the text field is about 5k characters, and there don't appear to be any strange characters.
I have a report with a date type parameter. Depending on the value return by this date type parameter the dataset will return either the credit, deposit or process date. How do I go about coding it so that it will dynamically select the right column in my query for my dataset?
I have questions and answers from one table, I need to select questions as column names and answers column values as the results for the questions column.
