Dear friends,
is there any way to find the table names from a view?
ex: suppose i have a view named as vorganization.i need all the tables in this view. is it possible to get through a query? same case for procedures and functions also.........
or we have to use sp_helptext?
is there any better way?
thank you very much.

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
View 4 Replies View Relatedhave created a view in MS SQL2000 as followed:
Select order_NO, shiptoname, Shiptoaddress, Shiptocity,shiptostate, shiptozip,
EMAILaddress
FROM orders;
my question is: If the email @ sign exist in the EMAILaddress column then I need to have a Y show in another column called EMAILflag, if the @ sign does not exist then I would need the EMAILflag to be a N.
This what I have but the emailaddress column is not always null it just has spaces in the field.
Select order_NO, shiptoname, Shiptoaddress, Shiptocity,shiptostate, shiptozip,
EMAILaddress, CASE WHEN emailaddress IS NULL THEN 'N' ELSE 'Y' END AS emailflag
FROM orders;
Any HELP would be GREAT.
Thank You!!
Hi,
Is there a way to write a select statement in order to find out which database a certain view is in? One way is to write "select * from view" and switch between available databases until "Invalid object name 'vw_X'" does not show.
Any other ways?
How to find whether an object is used by any sp , view ?
I need a query which will result the sp , view names which uses the given object name .
I have this query:
SELECT a.*
FROM Unscheduled_Arrival a INNER JOIN (SELECT Person_ID
,[arrival date]
,[leaving date]
,[unique stay id]
,[area code]
FROM Unscheduled_Arrival
[Code] ....
And what I am trying to do is find instances where a person has arrived back at a different area within 7 days of leaving from a planned visit to any other area different from the last. so lets say we had person ID = 1 and they had had 3 planned visits to one area (not equal to area_gh) in the last 4 months but after the 2nd planned trip to the other area, and before the commencement of the 3rd planned trip to any area not equal to area_gh, they had arrived unscheduled to area_gh, and this unplanned visit was within 7 days of leaving the 2nd last planned visit to any area not equal to area_gh.
The query I have shows data from unscheduled arrivals to the area_gh for a person who has also had visits to any area other than area_gh, but each record for unscheduled visits to area_gh duplicates for the amount of times the person has had scheduled visits to any area not equal to area_gh. This is the first problem but is as a result of not having the correct SQL for the refinement of the data.
This refinement requires that I return only the data that relates to the unscheduled arrival that is within 7 days of the last scheduled arrival, not duplicate rows of area_gh visits for all the scheduled arrivals.
Because my data is showing the data I want but the count is related to the scheduled arrivals I think I need to rewrite the query or alter it.
The data is already restricted to a year's worth of data.
I just need to find any instances of unscheduled arrivals (for arrival at area_gh) within 7 days of the end of any scheduled arrival (determined using leaving date) to area equal to area_gh.
There can be any number of scheduled arrivals and any number of unscheduled arrivals for each person. The [unique stay id] is distinct for each visit so person 1 can have 3 stays, all with a different [unique stay id].
Why don't you folks (SQL SERVER Management Studio Team or SQL SERVER Database Engine Team) provide an option by using which I would be in a position to know what all the other objects are depended on a selected object and vice versa. That means:
When I select a Table within the SQL SERVER Management Studio if there is an option for understanding "Which all the objects (tables or views) it is depended on (I mean Foreign key and etc... kind of relations) and also Which all the objects (Tables, Views, Stored Procedures and etc...) are using this table", It would be of great help for all developers.

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

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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

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.
I have suddenly lost the ability to view the tables for one of my database via Enterprise Manager. It just sits at an hourglass and never returns!
Alos, if I attempt to link to the tables via MSAccess's ODBC interface, I get a timeout.
I am able to view the table list for other user databases, as well as the system databases.
I am able to view other object list (like SPs) for the database in question, via Enterprise Manager.
I am able to perform a select query against the sysobjects table for the database in question.
Any ideas on why Enterprise Manager, and ODBC links, are hanging while trying to access the tables for one particular user database?
Any help is appreciated.
All other functions appear normal. If I can't figure anything out, or no one has any other ideas, I will try rebooting the server after the users are gone for the day.

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
