I have existing table which is having Set Quoted Identifier Off and Set Ansi Null
Now I want to change those setting so Is there any alter statement for the same?
Also Let's say At my database level If those settings are off and If I convert it to ON then It is not taking effect on existing tables SP which are already build.
Hello everyone,SQL Server 2000. I have a database in which there are several objectswhich have ansi nuls and quoted identifier turned ON. Is there a way Ican generate a script which:(1) Can identify all objects within the database that have those twoproperties turned ON and(2) Change the properties for these objects and turn the ansi nulls andquoted identifier OFF for those objects.I am trying to avoid going throuh gazillions of objects and manuallydoing this.Thanks for any help.Raziq.*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

Hi,
If you run the following code on 7.0 server, it will send a test file in csv format.
--*********************************
create table ##temp1
(tmp varchar(15))
insert into ##temp1
select 'Erin, Brockowich'
declare @cmd varchar(255)
select @cmd = 'select * from ##temp1'
EXEC master..xp_sendmail
@recipients = '<email>', --change to your email
@query = @cmd,
@subject = 'test-test',
@attach_results = 'true',
@attachments = 'test.csv',
@width = 800
drop table ##temp1
--**********************************
When you receive an email and double click on te attachment, it will launch excel automatically and put 'Erin' and 'Brockowich' in seperate columns. which is good and that is the way I want it.
But if I run this code on sql 2000 server, it will generate a file with 'csv' extension unrecognizable by excel. If you open this 2000 attachment in notepad, you can see that the data looks like
"Erin, Brockowich" (vs Erin, Brockowich without quotes on 7.0 server ), no wonder it is unrecognizable by excel.
I have set quoted_identifier off while compiling all the user sps on 2000 server. But while sending emails from within the procedure, all the attachments still generated with quotes.
How can I get rid of the quotes? We have at least 45 routines running generating coma seperated files as a result of the query and sending emails to the clients for years. Now all of a sudden all the routines got messed up with 2000 upgrade.
Can you suggest any work around?
Thanks,
Shaili

Hi,
My replication is failing to apply the initial snapshot because of the issue with QUOTED identifier. The snapshot files for the stored procedure are being generated using the 'SET QUOTED IDENTIFIER ON' where as my store procedure code is using the double quotes for string comparision e.g if @val = "test".
It is not possible for me to change the sps code as there are 1000+ sps exists. Is there any way to generate the snapshot files with 'SET QUOTED IDENTIFIER OFF'
I have a stored procedure that adds constraints from a variable:
ALTER procedure [dbo].[addMyConst](@txtAuto_ourlim money OUTPUT,@txtGen_ourlim money OUTPUT)ASEXECUTE('ALTER TABLE [dbo].[tbl1] ADD CONSTRAINT DF_auto_ourlim DEFAULT ' + @txtAuto_ourlim + ' FOR Auto_ourlim')EXECUTE('ALTER TABLE [dbo].[tbl1] ADD CONSTRAINT DF_Gen_ourlim DEFAULT ' + @txtGen_ourlim + ' FOR Gen_ourlim')
This works fine unless one of the variables is null or empty. Then I get the error: "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'FOR'
Evidendly SQL Server Express sees "....DEFAULT + + FOR..." but I don't know.
I've fiddled with this a long time and haven't a clue how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Steve
how can you alter a table so that you can add a default value whenever the field is NULL? for example, whenever the table is brought up in a query, NULL is replaced with UNKNOWN
View 1 Replies View RelatedI inherited a system that was started in Access and moved to SQL 2000. The business has grown and we are trying to replace our older systems with ASP.NET and Server 2005. Currently, we are trying to make a new asp.net page for searching the database for records with matching dates or date ranges. There are several types of dates to search, so they are all optional. Set to default as null in the proc. For each date there is an operator field, such as equal or greater, etc. The proc only looks at the date if the operator is set to EQ" or "IN" and ignores the date if operator set to "NO"
The proc works fine when running under Management Studio, but fails coming through a SQLDataSource to a gridview. It works with integer and string filters, but fails when entering the same date ('07/20/2007') that works in the testing tool. All dates are actually stored as datetime, and they are set as DateTime Control Parameters in the SQLDataSource.
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:someConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="spTESTSearch" SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:Parameter DefaultValue="M" Name="TypeCode" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter DefaultValue="EQ" Name="FirstPubOp" Type="String" />
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="FirstPubDateTextBox" DefaultValue="" Name="FirstPubDate"
PropertyName="Text" Type="DateTime" />
<asp:Parameter DefaultValue="C" Name="UserName" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter DefaultValue="NO" Name="SearchTextOp" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter Name="SearchText" Type="String" />
</SelectParameters></asp:SqlDataSource>
The dates are selected properly in the testing tool, with code such as :
DateDiff(day, FirstPubDate, @FirstPubDate) = 0
I think my problem is based on option settings for the databases themselves. The old database was set to Ansii Nulls and Quoted Identiers to OFF, and the new ones were defaulted to them being ON. I noticed that the tool also, sets those options on when creating new stored procedures.
Would this difference be causing the dates to be quoted and viewed as objects rather than strings? What are the dangers in changing those options on the database that still gets uploads from the old SQL 2000 database and some Mac-based systems?
I welcome any suggestions on how to get my new stuff running while not breaking my old production systems.
Thanks for the assist!
I am trying to change a column from a decimal(18,2) to a decimal(18,3). What is the SQL command to alter this table?

we have a table in our ERP database and we copy data from this table into another "stage" table on a nightly basis. is there a way to dynamically alter the schema of the stage table when the source table's structure is changed? in other words, if a new column is added to the source table, i would like to add the column to the stage table during the nightly refresh.
View 4 Replies View RelatedThere is a table exists in a database name tbDatabaseProviders.
I want to alter this table to add a column DatabaseProvider Also I want to add a default constraint so if nothing than 1 should be added.
Remember, the table already exists so when I write the script query then I want to first check the constraint if it exists then I dont want to add the constrait otherwise I will add it.
I was having problem to first add a constraint with the constraint name so I could find the constraint before finding it if it already exists.
What should I do the above.

A question for everyone:
With the introduction of SQL 2005, we now have to use ANSI-92 T-SQL Syntax and I was wondering if anyone had written a tool to convert queries from old ANSI SQL to the new syntax.
We have some code that has to change for the outer joins, but we also have a lot of code that should change for the inner joins. It doesn't seem that difficult to write something that parses an old piece of code and at least suggests a new version. Especially if the conversion code wasn't SQL code.
Thanks, in advance,
Brian
I've been using this syntax for years on SQL Server and now comes the time to convert to SQL 2005 (90 compatibility). This syntax returns four rows. Basically it returns one row for each servername/component/context/property/value even when there does not exist a property of 'fff' since it's a left join:
Code Block
select t1.* from tblconfiguration t1
,tblconfiguration t2
where t1.component = 'AdjProcessUtility'
and t1.servername *= t2.servername
and t1.component *= t2.component
and t1.context *= t2.context
and t1.property = 'proc'
and t2.property = 'fff'
Result:
SQLEDEV1 AdjProcessUtility DuplicatesReport Proc Adjustment.dbo.prcDuplicatesReport
SQLEDEV1 AdjProcessUtility ExtractAdjFile Proc Adjustment.dbo.prcAdjExtractMFFiles
SQLEDEV1 AdjProcessUtility ValidationProcess Proc prcAdjValidations
SQLEDEV1 AdjProcessUtility ValidationReport Proc Adjustment.dbo.prcValidationReport
When the converted (using SQL enterprise Mgr) runs it returns no rows:
Code Block
SELECT t1.*
FROM dbo.tblConfiguration t1 LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.tblConfiguration t2 ON t1.ServerName = t2.ServerName AND t1.Component = t2.Component AND t1.Context = t2.Context
WHERE (t1.Component = 'AdjProcessUtility') AND (t1.Property = 'proc') AND (t2.Property = 'fff')
I don't really see how to change this query to make it work. I've searched the web and I really don't see any examples of left joins which use more than one column.
Here's the table definition:
Code Block
CREATE TABLE dbo.tblConfiguration
(
ServerName VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
Component VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
Context VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
Property VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT PK_tblConfiguration PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED( ServerName, Component, Context, Property ),
Value VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL
)
I use this table to define reports and there attribues. The rows repeat themselves except for the Property and Value columns
Here is some of the data:
SQLEDEV1 AdjProcessUtility ExtractAdjFile Proc Adjustment.dbo.prcAdjExtractMFFiles
SQLEDEV1 AdjProcessUtility ExtractAdjFile RunTime 13:25
SQLEDEV1 AdjProcessUtility ExtractAdjFile Schedule 2,3,4,5,6
SQLEDEV1 AdjProcessUtility ExtractAdjFile FixedRecLength 71
SQLEDEV1 AdjProcessUtility ExtractAdjFile WriteFileHeader Y

We're trying to use DTS from SQL Server 2005 beta 2 to query datafrom an Informix IDS server via OLEDB.Unfortunately DTS is building queries of the form:select * from "database":"owner"."tabname"and the quoted table name is being rejected by the Informix server as asyntax error.Is there a way to keep DTS from quoting the table name in queries? Or isthis happening within the OLEDB provider?Thanks.--John HardinDevelopment and Technology group (Seattle)CRS Retail Systems, Inc.

So I was looking at the code for the proc created by Ola's script and noticed a number of variable declarations happening early on (like at line 10) but these variable declarations do not have the DECLARE keyword prefacing the variable identifier.
Then, a couple lines lower, a new batch of variables are declared, but this time with the DECLARE keyword. I was under the impression that you always needed the DECLARE. Is it a scope thing? Like related to the fact the first set of variables are before the stored proc's begin statement?
USE [master]

This should be a relatively easy one... Are table variables, the data type, SQL (92 or 99) compliant?

How do you alter a table to set a column which is currently int, to int not null?
I have already set all values to either 0 or 1.
Why can't I use:
Alter table myTable alter myCol int not null default(0)
I get a syntax error on the word default. If I remove "default(0)" then the command executes ok, but my Inserts don't work because there's no default value.
I have a question relating to the ANSI_PADDING setting on some existing tables in a SQL Server 2008 R2 database I am working with. When I generated the tables originally I basically programmatically created them by building CREATE scripts within my code. Since I did not explicitly set ANSI_PADDING to ON all these tables they seem to have been created with ANSI_PADDING as OFF. Some of these tables, which I now need to add columns to, contain varchar(n) and varbinary(n) columns.
When I try to alter the tables through Management Studio, SQL Server gives me a warning: "One or more tables have ANSI_PADDING 'off' and will be recreated with ANSI_PADDING 'on'" - this seems to be generated by the ALTER statement which by default sets ANSI_PADDING to ON. Another iteration of the same warning - "Columns have different ANSI_PADDING settings. New columns will be created with ANSI_PADDING 'on'".
From what I read regarding ANSI_PADDING it seems ON is definitely the way to go. I just need to know if changing the value may result in any of the existing data in the table to be changed or may have any other unintended side effect, as this may cause problems for me.
I have a table with a TEXT column that allows nulls.
Now I need to change it, and make it NOT NULL, but I Can't
ALTER TABLE BUSINESS_UNIT_LANG
alter column VISION text not null
And I get:
Server: Msg 4928, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot alter column 'VISION' because it is 'text'.
Is it impossible to make a text column NOT NULL when it accepts NULLS ?
All rows and columns are populated, in consequence there isn't any col with null values
Any idea?
Thanks!
We have a case where in we should show date based on conditions for e.g if we had a column defined as
col varchar(10) then we would show col as 'NULL' for some condition and actual value when no condition
Normaly date values are stored here e.g under col 20150901 .
Case
when col>'20150901' then 'NULL'
else col
end as Derivedcol
Note this is an extract process and we are presenting data by pumping the data in a table .
Now there is another similar column -colz varchar(10) which stores date but doesnt have case condition so whenever date has no value its shows null which is database null.
So whats the difference between database null and string null ?
How can we show database null for the case condition instead of string "null"?
