Find Available Tables In A DB

Mar 20, 2008

I am brand new to using SQL. I created a DB with a bunch of tables there. What I would like to do is from my VB.NET application I would like to allow the user to see what tables are available in that DB.



Also I need a way to check if a table exists. I used the following:

strTemp = "IF EXISTS " & _
"(SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'simplesql') AND type in (N'U'))"
cmd.Connection = conncmd.CommandType = CommandType.Textcmdcmd.ExecuteNonQuery()

but I get an exception : Incorrect syntax near ')'

thanks for your help

Anything That You Find In SQL Object Scripts, You Can Also Find Them In System Tables?

Jul 26, 2005

I tried all the INFORMATION_SCHEMA on SQL 2000 andI see that the system tables hold pretty much everything I aminterested in: Objects names (columns, functions, stored procedures, ...)stored procedure statements in syscomments table.My questions are:If you script your whole database everything you end up havingin the text sql scripts, are those also located in the system tables?That means i could simply read those system tables to get any informationI would normally look in the sql script files?Can i quickly generate a SQL statement of all the indexes on my database?I read many places that Microsoftsays not to modify anything in those tables and not query them since theirstructure might change in future SQL versions.Is it safe to use and rely the system tables?I basically want to do at least fetching of information i want from thesystem tables rather than the SQL script files.I also want to know if it's pretty safe for me to make changes in thesetables.Can i rename an object name for example an Index name, a Stored Procedurename?Can i add a new column in the syscolumns table for a user table?Thank you

Find Tables With No PK

Jan 27, 2004

I modified my origianl script (used a cursor) to use a looping method I saw in a different thread http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=30286 by Nigel Rivett. Since I used code on this board I though I would post back for the greater SQL Team script toolbox. Feel free to use it to catch those deliquent sql programmers who forget to create a PK. Enjoy.



declare @database varchar(128) ,
@maxdatabase varchar(128) ,
@cmd nvarchar(1000)

create table #pk (databasename sysname, tablename sysname)

select @database = '', @maxdatabase = max(name) from master.dbo.sysdatabases where dbid > 5
while @database < @maxdatabase
begin
select @database = min(name) from master.dbo.sysdatabases where dbid > 5 and name > @database

set @cmd = 'select ''' + @database + ''', o.name from ' + @database + '.dbo.sysobjects o join ' + @database + '.dbo.sysindexes i on o.id=i.id
where o.xtype=''U'' and i.indid = 0'

insert into #pk exec sp_executesql @cmd
end

select * from #pk

drop table #pk

Find All Differences Between 2 Tables

Mar 5, 2015

I have this 2 tables:

Table1: Table2:

ID Value ID Value
--------- ---------
1 2 2 1
2 1 3 4
4 3 4 4I

need to find all differences between the 2 Tables.

A mismatch can be:

- Table1.ID exists, Table2.ID does not exist
- Table2.ID exists, Table1.ID does not exist
- Table1.ID = Table2.ID and Table1.Value <> Table2.Value

So I want to be returned:

ID Value ID Value
--------------------
1 2 NULL NULL
4 3 4 4
NULL NULL 3 4

There must be something simpler than the solution I came up with which is:select * from Table1 a full outer join Table2 b on a.Id = b.Id

WHERE a.value <> b.value or (a.value IS NULL and b.value IS NOT NULL) or (a.value IS NOT NULL and b.value IS NULL)Martin

How To Compare Two Tables And Find The Gap?

Mar 18, 2008



Hi,

We have inventory table which is updated everyday.
I need to find the gap between updated table vs history (which means yesterday's data).
what i did is I just copy the inventory everyday before it is updated.
So, whenver inventory table is updated I want to know the gap between these two (history vs updated) tables.

The structure of two tables are same and here are columns:
date_key (fk)
store_key(fk)
item_key(fk)
begin_inventory_dollars
ending_inventory_dollars
begin_inventory_units
ending_inventory_units

I want to compare each row and if the value is changed I want to have a gap (updated value - history value) and if data is new then just want to add.

Here is tsql: however when I compare to gap between table from excel spreadsheet and this query, this query does not return a right value. (Some are correct but some don't)




Code Snippet
select a.date_date_key,
sum(a.Beg_Inventory_Dollars- (case when b.beg_inventory_dollars is NULL then 0 else b.Beg_Inventory_Dollars end)),

sum(a.Beg_Inventory_Units-(case when b.beg_Inventory_Units is NULL then 0 else b.beg_Inventory_Units end)) ,

sum(a.Ending_Inventory_Dollars- (case when b.Ending_Inventory_Dollars is NULL then 0 else b.Ending_Inventory_Dollars end)),

Sum(a.Ending_Inventory_Units-(case when b.Ending_Inventory_units is NULL then 0 else b.Ending_Inventory_Units end))

from UPDATED TABLE a

left outer join HISTORY TABLE b

on b.item_key = a.item_key and

b.store_key =a.store_key and

b.date_key =a.date_key

group by a.fisc_date_key







Did I miss something in here?
Any kind of advice would be grealy appreciated.
Thanks.

Find Common Value In Column For 30 Tables

Mar 21, 2006

Hi,

I am trying to query for a common value in a column called "file_auth_nbr" in 30 different tables. I was going to try something like this (see below) but wasn't sure if this was the most efficient, fastest, or correct, way to get what I'm looking for:

Select distinct a.file_auth_nbr from table1 as a
join table2 as b
on a.file_auth_nbr = b.file_auth_nbr
join table3 as c
on a.file_auth_nbr = c.file_auth_nbr
join table4 as d
on a.file_auth_nbr = d.file_auth_nbr
join table5 as e
on a.file_auth_nbr = e.file_auth_nbr
......etc., etc.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated,
Jeff

How Can One Find Out If Two Tables Can Be Joinned Dynamically

Jul 25, 2006

Hi All,

Given a table, is there a way to programmatically find out what other tables and views it can be joinned with? Essentially, given two tables, two views, or a table and a view, I want to be able to find out if they can be joinned. I was able to find related tables with sp_fkeys, but this does not work all the time, and does not work at all with views. I also played with the information_schema but got mixed up and confused quickly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How To Find Out Missing Columns Between Tables

We are trying to find out the difference between tables in CUSTOMER database and CUSTOMER_coded database. The goal is to find out if there are any columns missing in each table of CUSTOMER_coded database.

We need the list of tables in CUSTOMER_coded database that misses some column compare to its peer in CUSTOMER database (list of columns being missing also).

I googled, but I get only all the columns in tables of database.

I need missing columns of all the tables when we compare these 2 databases( CUSTOMER and CUSTOMER_coded  databases).

Find Out What Tables Contain A Specific Column

Jul 28, 2006

I want to write SQL that will search the tables in a database for a specific column, like this. For instance, I have a column "Unique_ID" that is in many of our tables (hundreds) but not in others and want to find out the tables it is in. It is always the first column.

I tried to find a system stored procdure to do this but couldn't and tried to create a script using the sysobjects and syscolumns tables in the Master db, but came to a roadblock because they don't seem to be related at all.

I would surely appreciate if someone else has already done this!

Thanks!
