I need to find out if a Transaction ID exists in Table A that does not exist in Table B. If that is the case, then I need to insert into Table B all of the Transaction IDs and Descriptions that are not already in. Seems to me this would involve If Not Exists and then an insert into Table B. This would work easily if there were only one row. What is the best way to handle it if there are a bunch of rows? Should there be some type of looping?
In oracle there is a describe command: describe table_name This command will tell you the columns names, datatypes, and length of the columns for that particular table. Does anyone know if there is a simliar command in SQL server that would do that? The only way that I have found so far is to do a join of the syscolumns with sysobject by table name.
I'm using SQL 2005. I want to add a description for each table on my database. How do I do that? I know I can add a description to each field, but how do I add a description to each TABLE? I tried going to Properties but don't see anything.

The Description field in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services just defaults to "Send e-mail to email@domain.com" (obviously a dummy e-mail address) when you create an e-mail subscription. You cannot edit the Description when you select "Edit" beside a subscription.
The Description may be edited directly in the Subscriptions table under the ReportServer database but this is not end-user friendly.
I thought of using an add/update trigger to set the Description to the "Subject" out of the Extension Settings field. The Extension Settings field is XML so you would have to parse the Subject out of there first. The "Subject" is the e-mail Subject for the e-mail that is sent to the subscriber and it much more adequately describes the report.
My boss understood what I wanted to do but wanted to make sure in the industry literature that the product was not that lacking. Hard to believe that you cannot directly edit the Subscription Description through the web browser interface - would love for someone to prove me wrong.
Any SQL/T-SQL command inside MsSQL Server 2000 can show the description of {all table columns or specified table columns} of specified table inside specified database?
Assume that if i have a product called Jacket that has the following descriptions, which written in bullet form
• 600 Denier Carbolex® coated 1000mm Polyurethane • Anatomically fitted for the riding position • Ballistic nylon in protective areas • FS Rainguard® 100% waterproof/breathable jet-liner • Polyester mesh non-allergenic liner • Removable CE armour equipped in the hips and knees • Padding at knees, shin, hips and kidney area • Removable zip-out satin quilted liner • Reflective Phoslite® • Stretch in the knees • Gusseted with Velcro front zip closure • Velcro adjustable waist • 2 front pockets • Storm flap system
How am i going to store in the Products table ? But not all products have these descriptions, other products may have no description at all.... If I store them in a text/memo DESCRIPTION field, then , I do not know how to format them into bullet form...
I would appreciate anyone knows the solution for me... Thanks in advance !
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 have a question regarding saving hashtags in another table. I have two tables with these columns:
Table1 ItemId, Name, Description (it may contains several hashtags like this example "hey I am an #example of this #question")
Table2 HashtagId, ItemId, Hashtag
So I want to detect #example and #question and put them in Table2. I'd like to create a trigger for table1 that if there was a hashtag, it added a record in table 2.
CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[tr_Events_ForInsert_Hashtag] ON Table1 FOR INSERT AS BEGIN DECLARE @ItemId bigint SELECT @ItemId = ItemId FROM inserted
I want to implement error handling my SSIS package. for this I am putting an execute SQL task for a container(which contains different interlinked tasks) in event handler.
Say my first task fails in this container.Immedaitely my sql task which inserts the error code and description should exceute in the event handler and populate my error table in OLAP database.
Table 1: AddressBook Fields --> User Name, Address, CountryCode
Table 2: Country Fields --> Country Code, Country Name
Step 1 : I have created a Cube with these two tables using SSAS.
Step 2 : I have created a report in SSRS showing Address list.
The Column in the report are User Name, Address, Country Name
But I have no idea, how to convert this Country Code to Country name.
I am generating the report using the Layout tab. ( Data | Layout | Preview ) Report1.rdl [Design]
Anyone help me to solve this issue. Because, in our project most of the transaction tables have Code and Code description in master table. I need to convert all code into corresponding description in all my reports.

ATC_tot.ATCkod = ATC.ATCkod. I have tried Inner join without success. Any good suggestions ...?

Hi all, I need to get the error description from the SQL Server in a SP. For ex:
I have one insert statement which is inserting some values in a tabUserMaster table. If user tries to insert any duplicated row then following error is retruned [in Query analyzer].
Server: Msg 2601, Level 14, State 3, Procedure csp_ProvisionUser, Line 70 Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'CoreUser' with unique index 'IDX_CoreUser_UserName'. The statement has been terminated.
I want to trap this whole message in a variable. How to do this..... :(
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)
I have hundreds of tables in my database. Is there a way to get a list of them with a description of their content (the procedure and the transaction they are related to, the way columns are created)?
how do you use columns description on QA? I want to type it in some description for my columns. I see this option on EM. Need to know how to do it on QA
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.
This is a request to the Microsoft SSIS staff. I did a search for the keywords in the description and can already see a lot of people frustrated about this.
A lot of well designed integration packages will route error messages to an error table or file. SSIS appends a couple of extra error columns called ErrorCode and ErrorColumn. At runtime, an extra column is visible in the DataViewer called ErrorCode - Description.
The description is hardcoded into the dtsmsg.h file in the SDK folder of Sql Server. This file is very hard to parse.
Can some from SSIS please post an XML or CSV file with all the error codes and descriptions for us to download please. This will be such a big help in debugging.

If you browse to Amazon and drill down through categories until a paged listing appears, you will see in each item of the listing that the description rendered as Book Description, is a cutdown version of the full description, with a ... and "Read More" hyperlink. How is this achieved programatically? I dont know if thre is an efficient way in SQL Server to do this, or whether it would be easier to have a ShortHand field and a Description field, both of which are teh full description when shown in the Details page, but the ShortHand is the field rendered in listings. This seems like a simplistic solution and I am thinking there may be programmatic means of doing the same - has anybody got any experience in this area?
