Hi,
In Ms SQL server if we create a user defined stored procedure it will be stored in the SysObjects table.
simillarly the paramerter are stored in other table which is that table.
I'm in the process of converting a rather huge VSAM database into a set of SQL tables.
I am using the same data names from the mainframe (like XDB-NAME to RDB-NAME).
I load the files using Import Export Data and it makes the tables with such column names as col001, col002, col003, etc... and always sets the data types to varchr(255).
And I have to cut and paste the data names from the manframe side to the server side (and the data types to.)
So, is there an easier way to do this? Or am I doomed to cut-n-paste my days away...
Thanks for any help.
Can anyone tell me the correct syntax for passing a Table Name to a Stored Procedure that uses the Table Name to do an INSERT into that Table ?
Below is my poor effort at the SQL.
Thanks.
CREATE PROCEDURE InsertOrderLine
@OrderNo INT,
@ProductID VARCHAR(15),
@UnitCost MONEY = 0,
@Quantity FLOAT = 0,
@Discount MONEY = 0,
@Tax MONEY = 0,
@TABLENAME VARCHAR(200)
AS
DECLARE @SQL VARCHAR(1000)
SELECT @SQL='INSERT ' + @TABLENAME + ' (OrderNo,
ProductID, UnitCost, Quantity, Discount, Tax) VALUES
(@OrderNo + ',' + @ProductID + ',' + @UnitCost + ',' + @Quantity +
',' + @Discount + ',' + @Tax)'
GO
i'm trying to create a stored procedure that takes 2 input parameters (taken from a querystring): a table name, and a number that needs to be checked whether it exists within that table. yes, i have different tables, one for each forum, so they will have the same structures -- i'm figuring this approach will result in faster page-load times if the tables have less in them. if everyone here tells me that having one table for all the forums will work fine, i'll just go that route, but if not, here's my procedure:
Create Procedure VerifySubjectNum
(@forum_ID VARCHAR(10), @subject_num INT)
As
If Exists
(SELECT subject_num FROM @forum_ID WHERE subject_num = @subject_num)
Return 1
Else
Return 0
when i try to create this, i get an error saying @forum_ID must be declared... why doesn't it work within the select for the EXISTS?
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[removeContact]
@RemoveType VARCHAR (50),
@ListID INT,
@TargetField VARCHAR (50),
@TargetValue VARCHAR (150),
@RowsAffected INT OUTPUT
AS
UPDATE [tblContacts]
SET @RemoveType = 'yes'
WHERE [list_id]=@ListID
AND @TargetField = @TargetValue
SELECT @RowsAffected = @@ROWCOUNT
GO
declare @P1 int
set @P1=0
exec removeContact '[unsubscribe]', 6, '[email]', 'email@domain.com', @P1 output
select @P1
I've tried this with and without the square brackets. Either way, nothing gets updated. Am I barking up the wrong tree?
Hello all,
Im just wondering... is there any way to have dynamic table names, so that, say for instance, i have 4 stored procedures, that all do the same thing, just to four different tables. is there any way to have 1 stored procedure, and pass through the table name???
Adding the four statements into one statement is not an option, as i only need to execute one at a time..., not all four at once...
Cheers,
Justin
I need help to create a stored procedure to get the table names from a database and create a Union view. There are over 100 tables.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi all,Seems like a fundamental question to me but I dont have a definiteanswer for it, Gurus please enlighten me.I have a table 'Table1' whose structure changes dynamically based onsome configuration values from another table. This table is being usedby a program, It was initially used by this program which ran as asingle task (executing at only a specific interval) but now the programhas to be run mutiple times some coinciding with each othe - whichmeant that table structure will change as 2 programs are runningsimultaneously... and therefore I have decided to use seperate tablenames that each has a structure of its now.I use this table name 'Table1' in about 10-15 stored procedures andUDF'sto make the long story short: Since I will not know which table I willbe using in the program I want to pass the table name as an argument tothe SP and UDF's and then access this param in the'select's/updates/inserts' - but this doesn't work unless I use DynamicSQL.Is there any other way of passing table names as parameters and thenusing then in the procs?any ideas will be really helpful.adi

I have MSSQL05 beta. I know how to list all stored procedures in selected database (everything is in localhost). I need to list parameter names and types for selected stored procedure(s).
How can I do that or anything that can return parameter names and types?
It's windows application.
I would like to use variables to set the table name and some column names of a SQL Query in a stored procedure (the variable values will come from a webpage)... something like this:ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.usp_SelectWorkHours
@DayName varchar,@DayIDName varchar
AS
BEGINSELECT @DayName.InTime1, @DayName.OutTime1, @DayName.InTime2, @DayName.OutTime2 FROM @DayName
INNER JOINWorkHours ON @DayName.@DayIDName = @DayName.@DayIDName
INNER JOINEmployees ON WorkHours.WorkHoursID = Employees.WorkHoursID
END
RETURN
...is this possible?? if so how?
Thanks
I need to execute a stored procedure which selects all columns from the passed table. The table used is a variable.
Select * from @Passedtablename. This won't work. Any insights.
I am imagining something you might pass the names of 2 stored procs (an old version and new one), and a query to produce valid parameters. It would then fire off each proc for a set number of executions, while storing off the results in temp tables, and at the end it would do a data compare, and store off performance data from dynamic management views.
Now I know how to get the parameters for a stored procedure out of the catalogue views, but is SQL Server aware at all of the schema of the results of stored procedures that return result sets, becuase I was thinking of doing something like...
INSERT INTO #datacompare(col1,col2)
EXEC mystoredprocedure
... but I can not seem to figure out how to dynamically gather the schema of the result set.
I need to check whether procedure found any matches or not. If not it has to return the column name where matching value was not found. For example, if there was no record found in the table "Addresses" column "customer" with the value @username, it should return "street". If id with value @prod_id was not found in the table "Products", the "productname" must be returned as well.
CREATE PROC sp_test
@id INT,
@username VARCHAR(50),
@prod_id INT
AS
SELECT name FROM Customers WHERE id=@id
SELECT street FROM Addresses WHERE customer=@username
SELECT productname FROM Products WHERE id=@prod_id
It is kind of check, which has to find out if users have inserted all the necessary values or not.
Thanks for any advice.
Does anyone have a TSQL utility (that they can share) that recursively searchs sysobjects for a matching input parameter string(for instance column name) for stored procedure object properties that returns the stored procedure name?

i got this error ... i have tried various scenarios.. nothing works for me... can any one gimme the proper guidance...
The variable name '@CCSID' has already been declared. Variable names must be unique within a query batch or stored procedure.

just starting with sql server, thru the sql express edition, before i get to far wondering if it is ok to use the same database names, specifically the ASPNetDB.mdf in different web applications, or will this cause problems down the line,
ie will have different web site applications running on IIS and want to use the aspnet_regsl wizard,
also wondering if this has any implicaitons when publishing web application to web servers, are any of the local sql express server settings passed on to the web host provider, read about machine.config and if i understand i should put all the settings in the web.config file via the VS20005 ide.
also will it cause any problem inside the sql express magement console,
How can I store my database on the internet and then access it's data (from a Visual Basic Express Windows Application)?
Where on my server do I upload it to?
How do I keep it secure?
Can anyone reccomend any good articles, etc, please?
Thank you for your help.

Hey all,
Hope I can get some help here.
Have a view that has to reference a table in another database on the same server. This isn't the problem. I am just using Databasename..tablename in the from statement. Get the results required in testing.
The problem is that in production the table name has a space character. i.e. 'accounting info' would be the table name. I have not been able to figure out the proper syntax to capture this properly to reference in the from statement.
I have tried enclosing the name in ' ', " ", [], (), {} and just about every combination I can come up with.
Any help in this would be great, and changing the databse name isn't an option at this time.
Thanx,
Chris
I have two questions:
1. Which system table (data dictionary) I can select to get all table names in one database?
2. What sql command can I use to get a definition about a table?
Thanks
Hi,

I am designing a package to export staging tables into a flat file.The names of the tables will be: TableAStaging_YYYYMM and TableBStaging_YYYYMM. As you can see the names of the tables will be changing each month.
The flat files will have similar naming: C:MyPathFlatFileTableAStaging__YYYYMM and C:MyPathFlatFileTableAStaging__YYYYMM.I want to run the package as an sql job in two steps, one for each table.I need to dynamically pass the table names and file names (together with the path) to the IS package.
As part if a recent requirement I have to export Chinese/Singaporean names in a CSV file. The data in the tables is a NVARCHAR(256).
I am using a FlatFile Connection manager where all the present columns from the table are exported as NVARCHARs. My understanding was that the Chinese/Singaporean names would blend seamlessly with NVARCHARs in place. But, they get garbled when pushed to the CSV.
Here is the connection manager setup
There are a lot of suggestions of fixing this by copying/pasting to a notepad file and changing the formatting... But I cant do that since the file is generated using a schedules SSIS package. How can I tweak the process to fix the issue?
I have my database: "RequestTrack"
My table (with its columns): "Request"RequestKey (automatically generated)..and the Primary KeyEntryDate (datetime)Summary (nvarchar)RequestStatusCodeKey (bigint)EntryUserID (nvarchar)EntryUserEmail (nvarchar)I am wanting to create a basic web form where my user interface has 3 text boxes and a Submit button:
txtUserID.TexttxtEmailAddress.TexttxtRequestSummary.Text
**After I hit the submit button the information will then be inserted into the database. Also the RequestStatusCodeKey will be MANUALLY typed in so that will not require the user to add that. Please please please help ! I've been searching online for days and looking at various websites and still havent found anything. I've found somethings but they went into too much depth with too much information. I am just wanting to stay basic but w/o using SQLDataSource Controls. I would like to be able to store a lot of data. Thanks for your help!!!
Hello,
I have ran into a problem when i'm getting table names in c#.
I have tried the sql command:
select name from sysobjects where type='U' order by name
So it returns the names without a problem. But when I try to access to some tables using their names (to retrieve the columns) I sometimes get the error "Invalid object name" following by the name of the table.
So I realized the if the table was not under dbo user then i would get this error.
for example: "select name from ContactCreditCard"
gives me error because in database management tool it is shown like this: Sales.ContactCreditCard
How can i fix this problem? How to get that prefix of the tables?
Thank you,
Hello, { Merry xmas to all few hours early but hey !! }
I'm trynig to create an application that will connect to any database that i specify and return the colums names within any table that i specify.
I have done the code that establishes the connection but im a bit stumped on how to get the colum names from a tabel and was wondering if anybody had any sourse code for this in VB.
Thanks
Rob
ps: have a good new year !!
When connecting to an SQL Server (v7 in this case) the log file shows that old and deleted databases are still being opened as part of the process. Further, these db names are now reserved and cannot be reused, even thought I've deleted them.
Is there any way I can purge all traces of these deleted db names?
You might have guessed, I'm a newbie, which is why there are a few dozen deleted DBs.
Thanks for any help

hey everyone, need some help
I have a query return all the names of the table in my database via this code:
SELECT MSysObjects.Name
FROM MSysObjects
WHERE (((Left([Name],4))<>"MSYS"));
I need to further refine the search fitting in the critera LIKE 'qry_tbl%' I dont know how to fit this in .. i tried fitting it in to the end, but nothing comes up.. I also tried querying the results of this query with another query :-P but that didnt work either .. any ideas?
In essence i need all the table names in my DB that start with 'qry_tbl' to be in a list for me..
Thx
Doc
This gives me all the names
I create a user then I create a database and assign my newly created user as owner
When I login as this new user everything works fine BUT my newly created user can still see other database names even though he is not allowed to use them.
How can I prevent him from seeing other database names.
P.S. I use the GUI
Thank you
We have recently copied a database from one machine to another. On the old machine, when we access the tables we do not need to use the username.tablename convention to query them. On the new box we do.
For example, to query a table called Page we would nee to do this on the new box.
SELECT *
FROM webdev.page
unfortunately all the code is written, without the username prefix. Is there a way to not use the username prefix?
Thank you for your help...sorry for the newbie type question.
ho w do i get all the database names from my local machine which are present in the sql sevrer 2005
i also need how do i get the names of all the tables,views,stored procedure names
in the particular database
Hi SQL server experts,
I'm trying to restore from a backup file.
I need to restore the datafile and logfile to different names.
I modified the options page, changed the 'Restored As' file name.
I clicked on the General page and Clicked on the Options page again, the old values came back.
How do I handle this?
Thanks in advance.

Ok, i am finally giving in on this one and asking for some help! I am trying to set up a T-SQL Statement that will extract data from all the tables in the current database to a csv file including Column names!
I know that bcp can not handle the column names, so i tried to get around this with an append of the column names from a select, but unfortunatly the select gives me the names in Alpha order and not the order of the fields.
I have tried putting in an order by on the select, but this does not seem to have any effect. I have included the snippet of my script that is causing the problem here :
-- set up the echo command
select @colcommand= 'exec master..xp_cmdshell'
+ ' '''
+ 'echo ' + @names + ' >> c:cp' + TABLE_CATALOG + '.' + TABLE_SCHEMA + '.' + TABLE_NAME + '.txt'
+ ''''
from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES where TABLE_NAME=@TABLE
and just in case you are interested in the rest of the script, the full monster is included at the bottom of the post. Also if you can see any more efficient ways of doing what i am trying to do, please let me know!
Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi all,
I'm working on my first data warehouse and I'm not sure how I should name the columns in the database.
The first phase of the data warehouse is to store a bunch of data from one third party source. The source contains over 100 pieces of data and the business user doesn't even know what some of the fields are but he wants to store everything. The third party refers to the each field with a somewhat cryptic short name and a longer description. The short name isn't always cryptic.
My question is am I better off naming my columns the same as the source system's short name so that I can easily debug problems later? Should I instead try to shorten their definition into something meaningful? On a side note, I'm 100% positive that we'll never populate the tables in questions with data from an additional source.
Thanks!
