I am trying to add a column to a temp table and then immeditaely query
against that new column. If I do this in Query Analyzer it works fine
as long as there is a go in between, but I can't use a go inside a
stored proc.. How do i get SQL to finish processing the alter table
command so I can use the new column?
alter table #TempPaging add TIId int not null identity
--go --fixes the problem in QA, but not in proc
Select * From #TempPaging Where TIId > 0 AND TIId < 11
Hi! I have several problems of my coding, please give me some advice.
1. How to let result data place at temptable temperary for other mapping? should i create temptable first ?
2. When I got the duplicated record result, I require to map with the main tables (tblROrder & tblSOrder)to find out the record reference no. Please advice how to handle this issue with reference no. at the outcome.
Many thanks, New Learner
***Coding as following
SELECT code, SMSNo, holderNo, count(*) From tblROrder
WHERE Day = @Day
GROUP BY code, SMSNo, SholderNo
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1<=====result will be found, but since i didn't get the RefNo at the listing, please advise how to let the outcome with RefNo
INTO #tmpOne (code, SMSNo, holderNo) <====error found
SELECT code, SMSNo, holderNo, GrossAmt, count(*) From tblSOrder
WHERE Day = @prmDay between D1 AND D14
GROUP BY code, SMSNo, holderNo, GrossAmt
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1<=====result will be found, but since i didn't get the RefNo at the listing, please advise how to let the outcome with RefNo
INTO #tmpTwo (code, SMSNo, holderNo) <====error found

Hi guys, If I have a temporary table called #CTE With the columns [Account] [Name] [RowID Table Level] [RowID Data Level] and I need to change the column type for the columns: [RowID Table Level] [RowID Data Level] to integer, and set the column [RowID Table Level] as Identity (index) starting from 1, incrementing 1 each time. What will be the right syntax using SQL SERVER 2000?
I am trying to solve the question in the link below: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2093921&SiteID=1
Thanks in advance, Aldo.
I have tried the code below, but getting syntax error...
ALTER TABLE #CTE ALTER COLUMN [RowID Table Level] INT IDENTITY(1,1), [RowID Data Level] INT;
I have also tried:
ALTER TABLE #CTE MODIFY [RowID Table Level] INT IDENTITY(1,1), [RowID Data Level] INT;
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.
I have contract table which has built in foreign key constrains. How can I alter this table for delete/ update cascade without recreating the table so whenever studentId/ contactId is modified, the change is effected to the contract table.
Thanks
************************************************** ****** Contract table DDL is
create table contract( contractNum int identity(1,1) primary key, contractDate smalldatetime not null, tuition money not null, studentId char(4) not null foreign key references student (studentId), contactId int not null foreign key references contact (contactId) );
For the length of Column ID is not enough, So I want to alter its length.The alter statement is:
ALTER TABLE student ALTER COLUMN ID CHAR(20)
For the table student is referenced by table score, the alter statement can not alter the column of the table student, and the SQL Server DBMS give the errors.
But, I can manually alter the length of the column ID in SQL SERVER Management Studio. How to alter column length of the master table(student) along with the slave table(score)?
Hello!I have an MS SQL-server with an database, that runs replication. In thisdatabase there is an table with an columni want to extend; varchar(50)->varchar(60).But I get this error (using design window of Enterprise Manager): Cannotdrop the table 'MytableName' because it is being used for replication.Thanks for helpBjoern
A customer wants to implement table partitioning on a replicated table.
They want to hold 13 months of data in the table and roll off the earliest/oldest month to an identical archive table. The table has a date field and partitioning by month makes sense all around.
So SWITCH PARTITION is the obvious solution to this, except for the fact that the table is replicated (transactional w/no subscriber updates).
What are his architectural or practical solutions to using table partitioning and replication?
Is there a way in T-SQL to check to see if a #tempTable exists? I want to write a proc the uses a temp table, but I first need to see if the table already exists. if it does I want to drop it, otherwise skip
A stored procedure mySlowProc performs a complicate SELECT. It creates 10 temporary tables either by SELECT ... INTO #Table1 or by doing CREATE TABLE #Table2 and then INSERT #Table2. Beside the fact this SP is known to be slow and could be better written. However, for educational purpose, can you please shed some lights:
Question 1: Could the use of many #TempTable(s) lead directly or indirectly to a blocking situation where another user cannot perform a write (UPD, DEL, INS) on the table (or tables) which are SELECTed by the mySlowProc SP?
Question 2: What are the consequences of abusing #TempTable if mySlowProc is called concurrently by 100 different users? In particular, is there any locking mechanism that would prevent the mySlowProc SP from being executed concurrently.
I have a stored procedure which creates 3 temporary tables. Every table is about ten rows and 25 columns. The inserts in the tables goes fast (< 30 ms). The selects from them is also that fast. BUT the first select takes about 3200 ms one each of the temptables. (I first do insert, then select from them.) So the SP executes at about 13 seconds instead of 3.
Obviously, in a select statement, I can select * into #temptable. But can I do the equivalent from a stored procedure? I do not want to edit the stored procedure, just take the records it returns and put them into the temporary table. I do not know what records are returned by the stroped procedure until it is executed. Is there a way I can do this? Thanks J
exec('select RIGHT(00000 + CAST(dh.zipcode AS varchar(5)), 5) as zip, '+@fieldname +' as distance into #distance from sumplicity.dbo.t_distancetohospital dh')
This runs normally and returns the number of rows created. Yet when I do a 'select * from #distance' query, I get a message that #distance doesn't exist.
Where is it storing all of this and how do I access it?
I don't know what I should try next, all of my tries have been without results in this case. I just wanted to create a temporary table, then insert one row into it and then use this row to compare if this row exists in another table or not. This is my script: ------------------------ CREATE PROCEDURE imp_Tippimport (@TGName char(33)) AS
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE #tTippgeber ( TGName2 char(33) )
INSERT INTO #tTippgeber (TGName2) VALUES (@TGName) *** see below ***
IF NOT exists (select TGName FROM Tippgeber WHERE TGName = @TGName)
INSERT INTO Tippgeber SELECT TGName2 FROM #tTippgeber /* SELECT * INTO Tippgeber FROM #tTippgeber */
ELSE
UPDATE Tippgeber SET TGName = t.TGName2 FROM #tTippgeber AS t, Tippgeber WHERE TGName = t.TGName2
END GO
I also created a cursor and used a fetch in to a veriable in the line with the stars to see the value of TGName2 but it was NULL.

I have a table tblABC which exists in 800 databases. I want to run a cursor to turn off the pk field ID indentity permannetly and then to "insert tblABC select * from tblXYZ".
I have tried the "set indentity_insert tblABC on" statement and failed on insert tblABC select * from tblXYZ.
Is there any alter table related t-sql could permannetly turn off the identity?
Hi, is it possible to override the system when adjusting columns. i.e. a system override setting.
For instance if I've got a column that is indexed and I want to adjust it from varchar(50) to varchar(51) it lets me. But if I then try and adjust the column to varchar (49) I get the error below:
Server: Msg 5074, Level 16, State 8, Line 1 The index 'LastName' is dependent on column 'lastname'. Server: Msg 4922, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN lastname failed because one or more objects access this column.
I asked this question on another Forum and was told I had to drop the index first. Just thought I'd ask for a second opinion.
Hi to all! I have a silly problem, but I'm not able to solve it! I know how to add a field in a table via Enterprise manager and I know also via ALTER TABLE command. ...But the problem is: I want to add a field NOT in the last position, but on the middle (for istance) So, this is possible via Enterprise Manager but with the ALTER TABLE command? How can I add a field without put it in the last position? ...Thanks a lot! Sergio
p.s.: Sorry for my poor english..I hope you understand my question!
hello, i am trying to add a column to every table in a database, if it (doesn't already exist), with the following code:
declare @name varchar(50) declare c cursor for select name from sys.tables open c fetch next from c into @name while @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 begin if( (select count(*) from sys.columns WHERE object_id IN (SELECT object_id FROM sys.tables WHERE name = @name ) and name='ins_id') = 0 ) begin alter table @name add ins_id int end
fetch next from c into @name end close c deallocate c
and when i run the script i get the error message Incorrect syntax near '@name'. reffering to the alter table statement So, my question is, how can i actually perform the alter table in this case? thank you
