Setting The Column Property Description With A SQL Function Call
Feb 2, 2008
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'm selectively migrating a load of data from one database to another and would like to be able to get & set a table fields Description property (as seen on the Design window under Column Properties) programmatically. I'm having a spot of bother in actually finding how to do it - anyone know?
Ta,
Rob
P.S. Just thought I'd mention - I do know about sp_addextendedproperty, and while I will use that if I have to, it would be nice to be able to use the existing column property Description so that when editing, the user can see the value.
I would like to create table by T-SQLand need to specify DescriptionBut I can't find any sample to add Description property by T-SQL Additionally, I also would like modify Description property by T-SQL. What can I do ????? Please help me ......
What is the syntax on calling a function from a column formula in an MS SQL table.
I created a table, one column's value will be coming from a function. And at the same time, I will pass parameters to the function. How do I do this? Is this correct?
SELECT dbo.FunctionName([Parameter1, Parameter2])
But i can't save the table, "Error validating the formula".
I am adding two OLE DB Source components to my pipeline and giving them different names
(via the Sourcename variable) but like they are assuming default name and description i.e. OLE DB Source which is causing the following error message on opening the package that was generated.
The package contains two objects with the duplicate name of "component "OLE DB Source" (37)" and "component "OLE DB Source" (1)"
Here is how I am doing it, in the debugger the names in both instances seem to have set correctly based on the variable but when saved they are lost. What am I doing wrong here?
Hi, How can I set the provider-specific property? Please let me know whether my code is correct.
For example, I want set provider-specific property set DBPROPSET_SQLSERVERDATASOURCE for memory based bulk copy operation. //Initialize the COM library. ...
//Obtain access to the SQL Native Client OLE DB provider. hr = CoCreateInstance(...);
hr = pIDBInitialize->QueryInterface(IID_IDBProperties, (void **)&pIDBProperties); hr = pIDBProperties->SetProperties(1, rgInitPropSet); pIDBProperties->Initialize(); // set provider-specific property DBPROPSET DbPropSetFL[1]; DBPROP DbPropFL[1]; DbPropFL[0].dwPropertyID = SSPROP_ENABLEFASTLOAD; DbPropFL[0].vValue.vt = VT_BOOL; DbPropFL[0].vValue.boolVal = VARIANT_TRUE; DbPropFL[0].dwOptions = DBPROPOPTIONS_REQUIRED; DbPropFL[0].colid = DB_NULLID; DbPropSetFL[0].guidPropertySet = DBPROPSET_SQLSERVERDATASOURCE; DbPropSetFL[0].cProperties = 1; DbPropSetFL[0].rgProperties = DbPropFL; IDBProperties* pIDBPropertiesFL = NULL; hr = pIDBInitialize->QueryInterface(IID_IDBProperties,(void **)&pIDBPropertiesFL); hr = pIDBPropertiesFL->SetProperties(1, DbPropSetFL); hr = pIDBPropertiesFL->Release();************************************************************ and,in SQL Server 2005 BOL,it mentioned (ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.ko/dataacc9/html/6e14fefc-4e0b-4847-a833-4cf0abe65d50.htm)Description: To bulk copy, SSPROP_ENABLEFASTLOAD property is set to VARIANT_TRUE. With this property set on the data source, the newly created session allows consumer access to the IRowsetFastLoad interface.If the property is set to VARIANT_FALSE, IRowsetFastLoad interface is available through IOpenRowset::OpenRowset by requesting the IID_IRowsetFastLoad interface or by setting SSPROP_IRowsetFastLoad to VARIANT_TRUE.Are there any one who provide a sample of above red-mark's not blues?
I have a query in which I'd like to use the username of the user currently logged in. The expression im using to retrieve the username is: Membership.GetUser().UserName. Currently I have the following: <asp:SqlDataSource ID="ProjectSource" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:Code %>" ProviderName="<%$ ConnectionStrings:Code.ProviderName %>" SelectCommand="Select Name, Namespace from Project where User = $Username"> <SelectParameters> <asp:Parameter DefaultValue="" Name="$Username" /> </SelectParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource> <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="ProjectSource" />I'd somehow like to set up $Username to be equivlent to Membership.GetUser().UserName.
I want to set the language property of a report programatically. I get the language locale at runtime and once I get it, I need to go to all the reports which are published or still are on the local system (in rdl format) and set the language property on each of the reports.
I have been playing with integration services for a few days and at the moment, its up there with my list of software that I find ......painful.
What I am trying to do is read different tables from my one SQL database, then populate my Access database with its data.
I have put a foreach loop which goes through a collection SQL statements that I have entered into it. It first assigns it to a string variable called tablenameVar which contain statements such as "Select * from Terminals". Then the datareader is supposed to execute it based on the connectstring which never changes, and the SQLCommand value which I passed using the variable @[User::tableName]. However when I try to run it, I'm getting this error.
I have a main package calling another package through the Execute Package task.
The main package is passing the Job Instance id as a parameter to the other package.
When i execute the Execute Package task the concerned package is not showing any execution progress.However when i set the Delay validation Property to True , I saw that the package executed instantly and the desired result was obtained.
I am not sure how the Delay Validation property worked for the cause , as in my package I had no scenario of a temp table being called or any other temporary variables being used which needed a Delay Validation.
I want to write function to call another function which name isparameter to first function. Other parameters should be passed tocalled function.If I call it function('f1',10) it should call f1(10). If I call itfunction('f2',5) it should call f2(5).So far i tried something likeCREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[func] (@f varchar(50),@m money)RETURNS varchar(50) ASBEGINreturn(select 'dbo.'+@f+'('+convert(varchar(50),@m)+')')ENDWhen I call it select dbo.formuła('f_test',1000) it returns'select f_test(1000)', but not value of f_test(1000).What's wrong?Mariusz
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?

Can someone help me to understand a stored procedure I am learning about? At line 12 below, the code is calling a function named"ttg_sfGroupsByPartyId" I ran the function manually and it returns several rows/records from the query. So I am wondering? does a call to the function return a temporary table? And if so, is the temporary table named PartyId? If so, the logic seems strange to me because earlier they are using the name PartyId as a variable name that is passed in.
1 ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetPortalSettings]2 (3 @PartyId uniqueidentifier,45 AS6 SET NOCOUNT ON7 CREATE TABLE #Groups8 (PartyId uniqueidentifier)910 /* Cache list of groups user belongs in */11 INSERT INTO #Groups (PartyId)12 SELECT PartyId FROM ttg_sfGroupsByPartyId(@PartyId)
I made an SQL function in MSSQL2000. This is a function that get's a calculated heat emission. When I run the Query in MSSQL2000 the function works. It calculates every emission for every row. When I call this SQL function in VS2005, it says it does not recognize the function. Does anyone know what this may cause? thank you. For the people who are bored, I added the SQL statement. The error is at the function
SELECT TOP 15 tbProducts.prod_code, tbProductProperties.prop_height, tbProductProperties.prop_length, tbProductProperties.prop_type, tbProductProperties.prop_default_emission, tbProductProperties.prop_weight, tbProductProperties.prop_water_volume, tbProductProperties.prop_n_value, GetHeatEmission(50,70,20,[prop_default_emission],[prop_n_value]) AS customEmission FROM tbProductClassification INNER JOIN tbProducts ON tbProductClassification.clprod_fk_prod_id = tbProducts.prod_id INNER JOIN tbProductProperties ON tbProducts.prod_id = tbProductProperties.prop_fk_prod_id WHERE (tbProductClassification.clprod_fk_class_id = 3327) AND (prop_height >= '030') AND (prop_height = '060') AND (prop_length
