I am using a Stored procedure in which I am creating a table and dropping that table at the end of execution. This SP is calling every 10 second (but no concurrent access) from my application. Is there any issue using the drop table command in the SP? will it create any memory fragmentation issue in SQL server?

pls reply.
first:
create table ##temp
(

insert into ##temp values('banti',1)
select * from ##temp
second:

I'm new to replication and would like to know how to drop an article published for replication. I believe I need to follow these steps, but I am unsure.
Step (1)
exec sp_dropsubscription @publication = N'db name',
@article = N'article name',
@subscriber = 'subscriber name',
@destination_db = N'db name'
Step (2)
exec sp_droparticle @publication = N'db name',
@article = N'article name'
Step (3)
drop the article on the publisher
Step (4)
drop the article on the subscriber
Is this the correct sequence or am I missing something.
Thanks, Dave
Hi Guys,
I am trying to DROP a table and recreate the table in a stored procedure and then I am trying to INSERT records into the newly created table in the same stored procedure.
I know I don't have to DROP the table, but I am trying to just get it to work. The process runs without error, but when I refresh the tables, the table I created isn't there. The T-SQL is as follows:
set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[ImportFilesPremier]
AS
DROP TABLE dbo.[PremierTest]
CREATE TABLE [PremierTest] (
[AYQ] nvarchar(6) null ,
[CYQ] nvarchar(6) null ,
[Description] nvarchar(50) null,
[PIP] [decimal] (17,2) ,
[BI] [decimal](17,2) Not null,
[PD] [decimal](17,2) Not null,
[COLL] [decimal](17,2) not null,
[COMP] [decimal](17,2) not null,
[DCRAT] [nvarchar](2) null ,
[Agent][nvarchar](3) null ,
) ON [PRIMARY]
begin transaction
insert into [PremierTest]
select *
from dbo.[new agt type tri 0804]
WHERE dir_ceded_ind = 'C'
commit transaction
Any information on how I can tweak my code so it works properly would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I made a constraint on a temporary table in a stored procedure but now i can't delete it.
Here's what happened:
I ran this in a stored procedure
CREATE TABLE #TeFotograferen (RowID int not null identity(1,1) Primary Key,Stamboeknummer char(11) ,Geldigheidsdatum datetime, CONSTRAINT UniqueFields UNIQUE(Stamboeknummer,Geldigheidsdatum)
next time i ran the stored procedure it gave me
There is already an object named 'UniqueFields' in the database.
but since the temporary table is out of scope i cannot delete the constraint
I tried
delete from tempdb..sysobjects where name = 'UniqueFields'
and
declare @name
set @name=(SELECT name from sysobjects where id=(Select parent_obj from sysobjects where name='UniqueFields'))
drop table @name
giving me
Ad hoc updates to system catalogs are not allowed.
or
Cannot drop the table '#TeFotograferen__________________________________ __________________________________________________ _________________000000000135', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.
Apologies if this has been answered before, but the "Search" function doesn't seem to be working on these forums the last couple of days.
I'd just like to check if a table already exists before dropping it so that I can avoid an error if it doesn't exist. Doing a web search, I've tried along the lines of
"If (object_id(sensor_stream) is not null) drop table sensor_stream"
and
"If exists (select * from sensor_stream) drop table sensor_stream"
In both of these cases I get the error: "There was an error parsing the query. [ Token line number = 1,Token line offset = 1,Token in error = if ]"
Sooooo... what is the standard way to check for existence of a table before dropping it? Someone help? This seems like it should be simple, but I can't figure it out.
Thanks in advance!

How do I go about iterating through every table in my database and empty each table so they contain no data?
I don't want to drop the tables and re-create them either.
Thanks.
Can anyone tell me how to change the datatype of a column.
Without dropping and recreating the table...
The table is empty...
THNK YOU VERY MUCH...
I have to load and unload many datatabases for testing. So I wanted to quickly remove a database, its devices and respective dat files
all at once.
Is there a way of completely dropping a database so that all trace of it is quickly gone?
In Microsoft SQL Server, I have a documents table and a table whichcategorizes the documents, which we'll call categories.I tried running UPDATE statements on the categories table previouslyand I ran into a foreign key constraint. The error given was "UPDATEstatement conflicted with COLUMN REFERENCE constraint FK..."So I got rid of the Foreign Key relationship, and tried running anUPDATE statement against the categories table again.I'm now getting the following message:'Cannot UPDATE "categories" because "documents" exists.'There must be something hanging around maintaining that relationship,but I'm not sure where it would be found.I was thinking about dropping the table and then adding it back again,but I'm not entirely sure what that would do.Any help is appreciated in advance.thanks,Geoff
View 3 Replies View RelatedFor SQL 2005 transactional replication I have 1400 articles (tables, views, functions, sp) that are all replicated.
Will SQL 2005 allow me to drop a table from from the publication and drop it from the publication database that is referenced by exising views or sps that are replicated or does it somehow check that?

Using SQL against a DB2 table the 'with' key word is used todynamically create a temporary table with an SQL statement that isretained for the duration of that SQL statement.What is the equivalent to the SQL 'with' using TSQL? If there is notone, what is the TSQL solution to creating a temporary table that isassociated with an SQL statement? Examples would be appreciated.Thank you!!

I am finding it difficult to find an example that allows for insertion of additional rows into a table, without dropping the table I'm inserting into. Or inserting specific values. Like this example..

I have 6 table I am formatting the data to conform to the final table as I'm inserting it into, but none of these examples gives me the example needed. I am using SQL 2012.
<code>
SELECT
CONVERT(VARCHAR(50),[FName]) + ' ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(50),[LName]) AS [CustName]
,CAST('ALARMCOM' as nvarchar(8)) as VendorName
,CONVERT(VARCHAR(25),[CUSTOMER_CS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER]) AS [Cust_ID]
,CONVERT(VARCHAR(40),[Charge_Description])as [ChargeType]
,CASE

I am trying to create a table that holds info about a user; with the usual columns for firstName, lastName, etc.... no problem creating the table or it's columns, but how can I "restrict" the values of my State column in the 'users' table so that it only accepts values from the 'states' table?

Is it possible to creates fields of the table dynamically?. I have this situation in my project. This is just a small sample. I have row of length 140. I don't wan't to declare all this fields manually using the create table command.
The description of table is as, in this table all the field are of type varchar only, there are like 140 columns.
create dummy emp (
field1 VARCHAR(100), field2 varchar(200), field3 VARCHAR(100).... )
Table: Dummy
================================================== ==
field1 field2 field3..........
Empid Empname empaage1 sam 23...........
2 rai 22............
.
.
.
n raj 45.............
================================================== ==
Now I want to create another table as "EMP" , with proper data type
fields too..
create table emp (
empid int, empname varchar(100), empage int....)
The table should look like as:
Table: EMP
================================================== ==
Empid Empname empaage............
1 sam 23...............
2 rai 22................
.
.
.
n raj 45.................
================================================== ==
I want to do this dynamically.....
Some how I need to extract those field from table[dummy]; the first row acts as a column header for the table[Emp] and the subsequent row acts as a record for the table[Emp]
A small rough snippet of the code will be appreciated....
Waiting for replies........

I am attempting to create a stored procedure that will launch at report runtime to summarize data in a table into a table that will reflect period data using an array type field. I know how to execute one line but I am not sure how to run the script so that it not only summarizes the data below but also creates and drops the table.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All,
I have a situation with a table that was created for a transactional
system with a 3 columns key. The table is similar to the following:
countrystatecitydescription
11221City A from country 1 and state 12
11321City A from country 1 and state 13
21422City B from country 2 and state 14
21522City B from country 2 and state 15
Now I'm trying to create a dts package that would allow me to build a
city dimension table with unique codes (keys) for each city. What kind of
transformation should I use to translate the old codes (based on the
country-state-city key) into the new ones and preserving the data
integrity?
Thanks,
Ignacio
Hi,
I m new to this forum with a Query
Create table <table name1 > as select * from <table name2>
this works for oracle. do anybody knows its alternative in sqlserver 2000
thanx. :)
I have nested lists and I want to set a global value in my custom code AFTER a specific table footer row. Does anybody know in what order the table elements are rendered? I have tried adding my piece of code into a group value, the hidden property, the color property, and sending it as a parameter to a subreport, but it still sets that variable first before rendering the table footer row that I want to display before I set that variable. I have been pulling my hair out trying to do this one! Help!

I am cleaning up a large database table that has Date keys instead of real DateTimes. To do this, I am running the following query...
UPDATE MQIC.DBO.OBSERVATION_F
SET MQIC.DBO.OBSERVATION_F.OBS_DATE = MQIC.DBO.DATE_D.ACTUAL_DATE
FROM MQIC.DBO.OBSERVATION_F INNER JOIN MQIC.DBO.DATE_D
ON MQIC.DBO.OBSERVATION_F.DATE_KEY = MQIC.DBO.DATE_D.DATE_KEY
where Actual_Date is what is being stored, and the Date_Key is to be dropped.
The particulars are this -
Date_D table - 92,000 rows - 40 MB
Observation_F - 2,000,000 rows - 3.2 GB
This is being run on a remotedly hosted rack server with an AMD processor, 1 GB RAM, 60 GB harddisk space, 20 GB used.
SQL-Server 2005 Express - SP1
If I do the same query as a SELECT Statement,
UPDATE MQIC.DBO.OBSERVATION_F
SELECT MQIC.DBO.OBSERVATION_F.DATE_KEY, MQIC.DBO.DATE_D.ACTUAL_DATE
FROM MQIC.DBO.OBSERVATION_F INNER JOIN MQIC.DBO.DATE_D
ON MQIC.DBO.OBSERVATION_F.DATE_KEY = MQIC.DBO.DATE_D.DATE_KEY
it runs to completion in about 15 min - during the entire time there is extensive used of CPU from Task Manager.
If I do the above statement, it seems to use lots of resources (50% +) for about 5 min, then falls to 5%. It just seems to sit there, for an hour + at which time I've killed the query.
This is actually the second time I tried this. The first time was on a different machine, with the P4, 3GB RAM, plenty of disk space, and using SQL-Server 2005 Standard - SP1. Exactly the same decrease in resources happened, and even though it ran several hours, no results.
Any thoughts here - not waiting long enough, memory leaks, etc.?
Thanks!
I am using SQL2005 EE with SP1. The server OS is windows 2K3 sp2
I have a table-valued function (E.g. findAllCustomer(Name varchar(100), gender varchar(1)) to join some tables and find out the result set base the the input parameters.
I have created indexes for the related joinning tables.
I would like to check the performance of a table-valued function and optimize the indexing columns by the execution plan.
I found the graphic explanation only show 1 icon to represent the function performance. I cannot find any further detail of the function. (E.g. using which index in joinning)
If I change the function to stored procedure, I can know whether the T-SQL is using index seek or table scan. I also found the stored procedure version subtree cost is much grether that the table-valued function
I would like to know any configureation in management studio can give more inform for the function performance?
Thanks
Hi
Having some issues with our apps.
We are trying to get our applications to work with sql2005.
Ive got the databases "setup", and all our apps run fine...
...except for when queries are made without the owner of the
table being specified in the query.
The connection is opened with the username that is associated with that owner.
And it fails in Manager as well. Is there something im missing, because you should
be able to do this.
eg:
select * from <table_name>
Gives the error:
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name '<table_name>'.
However if i were to query like this:
select * from <owner>.<table_name>
it works fine.
hi, i'm trying to create a new table for the following query but it seems that there always seem to be a syntax error near the keyword AS from the first line. Is this the correct way to create a table from another table?

SELECT TOP 1 login_user_id, COUNT(login_user_id) AS freq
FROM track_e_login
WHERE login_user_id != 0
GROUP BY login_user_id
ORDER BY freq DESC
Many thanks!
I'm trying to create programmatically a table in my db on sql server 2005.1. I created a string "CREATE TABLE ....." and then tried to execute it using my ADO. That didn't work, so I copied the string into a query in sql server and got the message "CREATE TABLE sql is not supported". Why's that? 2. I created a stored procedure in my db that will get the "CREATE TABLE...." string and execute it. I thought it would look something like this: parameter @createString varchar(MAX) BEGIN BEGIN EXEC @createString or @createString END END Both these options didn't work.How can I make it work properly?Thanks.
