how do i check if a temp table of a given name already exists on the current connection?
in the application i am working on, some reports are very complicated and use temp tables generated on the fly. these tables do not get cleared up sometimes and the next table generation statement bombs. i do not want to touch that code.
Within the execution of a t-sql script how do I check for the existance of a temporary table associated with the session or a global temporary table?
My understanding is that the table name doesn't get placed in the current database sysobjects table - it goes into tempdb. But the object name is cryptic (so as to be unique) and I see no way of associating it with the current session (@@SPID).
I am trying to add columns to several tables in a singular database. I want to check to see if the column exists in a given table first before executing the alter table command so that I can skip that command if the column already exists, and avoid aborting my script prematurely. I can't seem to find a way to check for the column's existance. Any suggestions?
I have one table called product 1 and the second table is called product 2 i have DirNo, ProdNo, UpdCode and BranchOffice as fields i whant to loop trought every record in table product 1 and check in table product 2 if the record is the same and exist i f it does go to next record, if not delete the record in product 1 and move to the next record and so on. could someone please help me. iam very new at this. thanks
I periodically transfer large databases across servers and have had problems with tables on the target being empty (to rule out errant deletes by other developers). I'd like a way to do a table by table row count comparison between the two servers, similar to the way sp_compare_db (found here at Swynk) does on a single server. Even a method of referencing tables by including the server name would help.
I am curious why my stored procedures are parsing properly when you do not reference a table with its schema. The stored procs then fail when you run them.
It seems that the parser does not validate that a tables schema is missing.
This is an example stored procedure against the Person.Address table in the Adventureworks database. It will execute fine if I change the FROM clause to Person.Address.
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[Address_Load] @AddressID [int] AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE @intError int
BEGIN TRY SELECT A.[AddressID] , A.[AddressLine1] , A.[AddressLine2] , A.[City] , A.[StateProvinceID] , A.[PostalCode] FROM [Address] A WHERE A.[AddressID] = @AddressID
IF @@ROWCOUNT = 0 BEGIN RAISERROR('Record not found', 16, 1) -- Record not found. END
-- Return success RETURN 0 END TRY BEGIN CATCH SET @intError = ERROR_NUMBER();
-- Log error here
RETURN @intError; END CATCH END
The stored proc parses fine and gets saved to the database but when executing it I get the following
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedure Address_Load, Line 10
Invalid object name 'Address'.
Is there any way to change this so the parsing will generate an error and not allow this into the database?
Has anyone written or come across a routine that validates start and enddate in a slow changing dimension? (eg verifies there is no overlap in any of the records).
In my SSIS package I have flat files as a source, I have to load numbers of flat files into SQL target table. I am using For each loop container for that. I am doing it correctly. My aim is to validate the source data from all angle before writing it into target sql table. I am using below points to validate the source data , if I found any bad data I am redirecting those data to error output.
To Checking
1. To check whether data type of column. 2. To check whether buisinesskey column null.
Is there any thing which I am missing to validate source data.
I think this is a very simple question, however, I don't know the answer. What is the difference between a regular Temp table and a Global Temp table? I need to create a temp table within an sp that all users will use. I want the table recreated each time someone accesses the sp, though, because some of the same info may need to be inserted and I don't want any PK errors.
How do you determine in a (SQL table or view) calcualted field (yes/no) if a file exists.
Specifically, I have a view with a field (column) that calculates a filename (path plus file name from another field, plus extension. I want to determine if that calculated file name represents an existing file.
Also, if you could consider replying to this as well: How to determine file existance in ASP, when the file is not on the same server as the internet service (which is easy), but resides on another server, or when a URL is given for the file location.
Hi, I need to test for the existance of a stored proc on a specific database(s) on a server(s), and get the user assigned permissions/roles. Is there a built in system proc that returns such information? Thanks,
I'm trying to write a program in cold fusion to check the existance offields and data types according to requirementsI was looking at the syscolumns table for some of this information butI've discovered that in my playing (creating and deleting tables) threare multiple entries for a field that is in table that is created thendeleted then created again.Is this a problem? Is there a better way to get at the information iethe table, field, and type exist in a database?
Using SSIS, I want to check if a specific file exists on an FTP server or not. If yes, then i'll go with a flow, and if not, i'll go with another flow. Any help with that?
i am inserting something into the temp table even without creating it before. But this does not give any compilation error. Only when I want to execute the stored procedure I get the error message that there is an invalid temp table. Should this not result in a compilation error rather during the execution time.?
--create the procedure and insert into the temp table without creating it. --no compilation error. CREATE PROC testTemp AS BEGIN INSERT INTO #tmp(dt) SELECT GETDATE() END
only on calling the proc does this give an execution error
Simple example: declare @tTable(col1 int) insert into @tTable(col1) values (1) select * from @tTable
Works perfectly in SQL Server Management Studio and the database connection is OK to as I may generate PP table using complex (or simple) queries without difficulty.
But when trying to get this same result in a PP table I get an error, idem when replacing table variable by a temporary table.
Message: OLE DB or ODBC error. .... The current operation was cancelled because another operation the the transaction failed.
If on the source I have a new column, the script generated by SqlPackage.exe recreates the table on the background with moving the data into a temp storage. If the table is big, such approach can cause issues.
Example of the script is below: in the source project I added columns [MyColumn_LINE_1] and [MyColumn_LINE_5].
Is there any way I can make it generating an alter statement instead?
BEGIN TRANSACTION; SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE; SET XACT_ABORT ON; CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tmp_ms_xx_MyTable] ( [MyColumn_TYPE_CODE] CHAR (3) NOT NULL,
[Code] ....
The same script is generated regardless the table having data or not, having a clustered or nonclustered PK.
The SP UserPersist_GetByCriteria does a "SELECT * FROM tbl_User WHERE gender = @Gender AND culture = @Culture", so why am I receiving this error when both tables have the same structure?
The error is being reported as coming from UserPersist_GetByCriteria on the "SELECT * FROM tbl_User" line.
I want to insert the data from temp table to other table. Only condition is, it needs to sorted based on tool number and tool date. For example if we have ten records for tool number 1000, it should be order by tool number and then based on tool_dt. Both tables doesn't have any primary keys. Please find below my code. I removed all the unnecessary columns for simple understanding. INSERT INTO tool_summary (tool_nbr, tool_dt) select tool_nbr, tool_dt from #tool order by tool_nbr, tool_dt...But this query is not working as expected. Data is getting shuffled.
WE have a job that loads data from an Oralce DB into our SQL Server 2000 DB twice a day. The schedule has just changed so that now there is a possibility of having my west coast users impacted when it runs at 5 PM PST and my east coast users impacted when it runs at 7 AM EST. As a workaround, I have developed a DTS package that loads the data into temp tables instead of the real tables. IE. Oracle -> XTable_temp instead of Oracle -> XTable. The load sometimes takes about an hour to an hour and a half to load, so this solution works great, but I want to then lock the table, delete it and rename the temp table to table X. The pseudo code would be:
Begin Transaction
Lock Table XTable
Drop XTable
Alter Table XTable_temp rename to XTable
Release Lock XTable
End Transaction
Create XTable_temp
I see two issues with this solution. 1) I think if I can lock XTable that the lock would be released when the table is dropped and the XTable_temp was being renamed. 2) I can't find a command to rename a table.
I want to pass the 'inserted' table from a trigger into an SP, I think I need to do this by dumping inserted table into a temporary table and passing the temp table. However, I need to do this for many tables, and don't want to list all the column names for each table/trigger (maintenance nightmare).
Can I dump the 'inserted' table to a temp table WITHOUT specifying the column names?
Let me apologize in advance for what I know is a very basic question, but so far I'm not being terribly successful trying to find sample code to learn from.
I'm trying to write (my first!) .Net Script in SSIS to check for the existance of a file (since that seems to be the only way to do it).
I've created the Script Task, with the following settings:
PrecomplieScriptIntoBinaryCode = False (it complained at one point in time (possibly on validation))
