I'm kinda new to SQL. I'm trying to get a print out of a specific table and its columns and column types. Is there a specific command or code that I can use to accomplish this?.
thx,
Newbie.
I have deployed a report that is configured for landscape printing. It does print in landscape, however, only the first seven columns appear on the first page and the other five columns appear on the next page. Is there a method, like in print preview setup in MS Excel, where we can scale down the print (like to 80%) so all columns appear on each page?
Thanks!
In SQL 2k5 every db object say table , table fields etc have extension properties . I plan to populate these extension properties with meta data related information like field description , string length , case conversion , field alignment , enum options etc .
I wish to know if anybody has done, anything like this . Can this properties be easily avaialble in .Net development , reporting services , BIDS etc . Can there be significant advantages wrt this .
I would like to get user experiences .
I want to be able to see when records have been added to a table. The issue is we have a DTS job scheduled to run every night. The developer who wrote it password protected it and doesn't work here anymore. I want to add a step to this series of DTS jobs and want to run it just prior to his job. Is there a way to see when the records are being added or when this job is being run? Thanks again, you guys are the best.

I have a report with two columns. It works fine in SQL Reporting Services, but when I push it to the Report Server it only prints one column instead of the two that it's set up to print.
What am I missing?

Sorry, but I am returning to Firefox browser and the squished fields. While running under VS-TFS and developing a web application, I view my report with Cassini back-end server (debug/F5). I cut and paste the URL line into Firefox. The report views just fine. I deploy the report to the web site and now the same report viewing with Firefox exhibits the famous squished columns (wow). If I understand this correctly, this would indicate that the problem is not Firefox but IIS rendering. What are your feelings?

I know that I think as sql2k programmer-dba yet but I can€™t avoid.
I€™ve got Flat File Connection Manager Editor dragged with a text file as €˜ragged right€™ format and CRLF as header row limiter. When from properties page and Columns option I€™m going to alter just a few colums I am not be able.
It seems that you must erase all of them in order to define one or two. And in the case you€™d have 50????
When I ran sql2k DTS designer did that without problems, alter columns again and again.
As far as I know it€™s a lose of flexibility, or not? Or is there any way for do that without deleting nothing else?
So I have been asked by our sustainability person to create report from our printing data that actually shows the number of pieces of paper used. This is easy enough for single-sided printing, but when printing in duplex the software does not take into account that 3 printing pages actually equates to 2 pieces of paper. I know this sounds simple, but say I have a print job record that looks like this:
Submitted printed total_pages duplex
8/10/2015 8/10/2015 42 1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
This is a print jobs that if done correctly is actually 21 pages( duplex printing). If the job is say total_pages =5 I cant just divide by 2 because its actually using 3 pieces of paper ( yes they are wanting this data don't ask why). How can I adjust some sql to accurately depict 5 pages, front and back, as 3 pieces of paper?
So I have been trying to get mySQL query to work for a large database that I have. I have (lets say) two tables Table_One and Table_Two. Table_One has three columns: Type, Animal and TestID and Table_Two has 2 columns Test_Name and Test_ID. Example with values is below:
**TABLE_ONE**
Type Animal TestID
-----------------------------------------
Mammal Goat 1
Fish Cod 1
Bird Chicken 1
Reptile Snake 1
Bird Crow 2
Mammal Cow 2
Bird Ostrich 3
**Table_Two**
Test_name TestID
-------------------------
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_2 2
Test_2 2
Test_3 3
In Table_One all types come under one column and the values of all Types (Mammal, Fish, Bird, Reptile) come under another column (Animals). Table_One and Two can be linked by Test_ID
I am trying to create a table such as shown below:
Test_Name Bird Reptile Mammal Fish
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Test_1 Chicken Snake Goat Cod
Test_2 Crow Cow
Test_3 Ostrich
This should be my final table. The approach I am currently using is to make multiple instances of Table_One and using joins to form this final table. So the column Bird, Reptile, Mammal and Fish all come from a different copy of Table_one.
For e.g
Select
Test_Name AS 'Test_Name',
Table_Bird.Animal AS 'Birds',
Table_Mammal.Animal AS 'Mammal',
Table_Reptile.Animal AS 'Reptile,
Table_Fish.Animal AS 'Fish'
From Table_One
[Code] .....
The problem with this query is it only works when all entries for Birds, Mammals, Reptiles and Fish have some value. If one field is empty as for Test_Two or Test_Three, it doesn't return that record. I used Or instead of And in the WHERE clause but that didn't work as well.
I have a SQL 7 database with about 30 tables in. For documentation purposes I need to print out the structures of each table. I have tried using the diagram tools but no joy.
I have access to Access, Crystal Reports, if these are any use?

i need help printing only certain rows from within a table.. for instance, if my table looks like this :
+-------------------+----------------+----------------------+
| Description | Heading | Link |
+-------------------+----------------+----------------------+
| Google | Heading 4 | www.google.com |
| Toms Hardware | Heading 3 | www.tomshardware.com |
| Anandtech | Heading 2 | www.anandtech.com |
| check this out | Heading 1 | www.henryadams.com |
| another heading 4 | Heading 4 | www.heading4.com |
| test | Heading 3 | www.test3.com |
| heading 4 agagin | Heading 4 | laksjdf;alkf |
| new heading test | newHeadingTest | www.newheadingtest |
+-------------------+----------------+----------------------+
and i want to only print out the results for "Heading 4" under the "Heading" column, and only have the results print out once, using php.. how would i do this?
The Headings are inputed by the user through a web interface i created where the user may either select an exisiting heading or type in a completely new one that has nothing to do with any of the others.
thanks for any and all of your help..
I have one table that has unique id's associated with each row of information. I want to delete rows of information in one table that have a unique ID that references information in another table.
Here is a basic breakdown of what I am trying to do:
Table1 (the table where the rows need to be deleted from)
Column_x (Holds the id that is unique to the various rows of data - User ID)
Table2 (Holds the user information & has the associated ID)
Column_z (holds the User ID)
I tried this on a test set of tables and could not get it to work. What I am trying to do is skip all rows of Table1 that have ID's present in Table2, and delete the rows of ID's that are not present in Table2.
Code:
SELECT Column_z
FROM dbo.Table2
DELETE FROM dbo.Table1
WHERE Column_z <> Column_x
This did not seem to do what I needed, it did not delete any rows at all.
I wanted it to delete all rows in Table1 that did not have a reference to a user ID that matched any ID's in Column_z of Table2
Then I tried another scenerio that I also needed to do:
Code:
SELECT Column_z, Column_a
FROM dbo.Table2
DELETE FROM dbo.Table1
WHERE Column_z = Column_x AND Column_a='0'
'0' being the user id is inactive so I wanted to delete rows in Table1 and remove all references to users that were in an inactive status in Table2.
Neither one of the Queries wanted to work for me in the Query Analyzer when I ran them. It just said (0) rows affected.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong here?

I have an ODBC connection string that is working fine with the following properties:
Database="XXXXXXX",Network="YYYYYY"; strangely no server is specified in the string, but it is specified in the ODBC Connection file.
I am trying to do a new server registration in SSMS for this database.However, I don't understand where the network spec is placed.
Under Registered server name I've tried:
YYYYYYXXXXX
When I browse the server for the database instance list, I receive "network path was not found".
I even tried:"XXXXXXX",Network="YYYYYY" for the registered server name.Same error message.
What am I doing wrong ?
I'm not sure what is going on but I created a table in the body of a report. I have set the RepeatOnNewPage property to be true. When I preview it the header is on all pages. Perfect! However when I print preview it or export to PDF the header is on Page 1 thru 6 it skips 7 and 8 and then prints on 9. This is happening on a few of my reports.
Any suggestions?

I have report with a table, that generates rows to more than 1 page. When the user prints the report, each page should show the table header.
Presently or by default , the table header is shown(printed) only on the first page.
Please let me know, how can I achieve this.

I am having problems with my store procedure displaying my last column name which is "DISPLAY_CATEGORY_DESC". I am trying to display the description from another table. But in order to get to the description I have to go through 2 tables. The tables look like something like this.
First TableTABLE_CATEGORY
PRIMARY_KEY = DIR_CATEGORY_ID = 5000
Column Name
DIR_CATEGORY_LVL_ID1 = 100
DIR_CATEGORY_LVL_ID2 = 200
DIR_CATEGORY_LVL_ID3 = 300
Second TableTABLE_CATEGORY_DESCRIPTION
PRIMARY KEY DIR_CATEGORY_LVL_ID1 = 100
Column Name
DESCRIPTION = "Car Model Company"
This is my DISPLAY_CATEGORY_DESC
Not sure how to get to this description. Thanks for your help.
select cwebs.SESSION_ID, webs.ENTERED_DATE, cwebs.DIR_CATEGORY_ID, DISPLAY_CATEGORY_DESC
FROM di_webclickstats cwebs
left join di_websessions webs on cwebs.session_id = webs.session_id
where cwebs.DIR_CATEGORY_ID <> 0 and webs.ENTERED_DATE between @startDate and @endDate+1
Can anyone help me with displaying several table properites at once. I know I can use sp_help 'tablename' to get one at time. What is the best method to get several databases at a time?

I have an RDL report that has tables which are hidden based on expression. When I chose Run, they are appropriately hidden or visible. However, when I chose print, all tables are printed, even if they are invisible in the run version.Â

Hi
Can someone write a query for me that would return names of tables that would slelect all tables of particular database and show if table has set primary key and if it has then if key has Identity Specification set to true?
something like:
SELECT
TABLE_NAME
,HAS_PRIMARY_KEY
,KEY_HAS_IDENTITY_SPECIFICATION
FROM
...this is where you come in
ORDER BY
TABLE_NAME
I'm beating my head up against a wall here. I have one very LARGE table called op_hist.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[op_hist] (
[op_trnbr] [int] NOT NULL ,
[op_type] [varchar] (80) ,
[op_date] [smalldatetime] NULL ,
[op_act_setup] [decimal](38, 10) NULL ,
[op_act_run] [decimal](38, 10) NULL ,
[op_qty_comp] [decimal](38, 10) NULL ,
[op_wkctr] [varchar] (80) ,
[op_part] [varchar] (30)
)
I need to be able to sum items grouped by op_wkctr and op_part and op_date. Here's my latest version which of course does not work.
SELECT op_wkctr, pcs, hrs.b
FROM
dbo.op_hist
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT op_part, SUM(op_qty_comp) as pcs
FROM dbo.op_hist
where op_type='BACKFLSH'
group by op_hist.op_part
UNION ALL
SELECT op_part, SUM(op_act_setup + op_act_run) as b
FROM dbo.op_hist
where op_type='LABOR'
group by op_hist.op_part
) AS hrs
ON op_hist.op_part = hrs.op_part
where (op_wkctr = 'P-P36' or op_wkctr = 'P-P38' or op_wkctr='P39') and op_date ='10/22/07'
Help me oby one - you're my only hope.

Hello All.
I just made some huge changes to a database on the development computer. However, I want to transfer all of the information from the Employees table in the old DB to the new DB (no changes made on that table).
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I have run into a challenge that I'm not sure how to best solve. I'dappreciate any opinions or input.I am working with a third party database. They are storing some datathat I need to use in a binary field. I've got the code to parse thebinary and reconstruct what I need. Unfortunately, there might bemultiple "entries" stored in a single binary field. a certain byte,let's just say the first, will always be the count of "entries" inthis particular SQL entry.An example:then entry might be:0x01000012341234where 12341234 is the data entry that I will parse.Another possible entry is:0x03000012341234567856789ABC9ABCThe first byte indicates that there are three data values I want toparse out:12341234567856789ABC9ABCThe portions of the binary I need are always the same length and theremay be from 1 to ~100 of them. (usually 1 if it matters.)The big question:How could a SQL query return an entry for each of the "entries" in thebinary field? For the second example I would want three entries in myresults, each row returning a different section of the binary data.For the first, only one row. I'll be querying the set and expecting toget back more results than the number of entries in the set.I haven't really tried much with this yet, (other than some mentalcalisthenics were I fell down onto the mat pretty hard), so just somedirection on where to begin would be helpful.(Yes, I understand that the difficulty is that this data shouldn't bestored this way, but there is not much I can do about that.)Thanks...James FraserJoin Bytes!

I am trying to troubleshoot deadlock issues.
The dead lock is with a RID.
Now from various links i have established that you have to use DBCC PAGE() with relevant info to get more information, i get back a object and index id, m_objid.
However i dont know how to get the tablename form here, msdn simply says that it is an allocation id not and actual table id, so how can i from here get to table information?
All i am trying to figure out is which table is affected fromt he RID dealock, but that does not seem to be a simple process.
Thanx
Does TSQL (2005) offer a way to retrieve a given table's total size (data size vs index size)? Would like to be able to get at this info using TSQL (not management studio).

I've noticed that sometimes the # of rows specified in table properties tab is different from the # shown by select count(*) from tableA.
Why is this ?
(SQL 2k, sp2, indexed table)
Query #1:select <list of fields>from Cjoin B on C.b_key = B.b_keyjoin A on B.a_key = A.a_keywhere A.o_key = <some value>Query #2:select <list of fields>from Cwhere b_key in (select b_keyfrom Bwhere a_key in (select a_keyfrom Awhere o_key = <some value>))#1 (and other things with the same general pattern) are used inliterally thousands of places in this one client's system, and ismuch nicer to write, but seems to be rather slower than #2. Isthere any way to tweak the tables to tell the system somethinglike "hey, B, whenever you're joined to A, you should seriouslyconsider waiting for A to be filtered down to a manageable levelfirst"? And similarly for C/B.MS SQL 2000, SP3, 6.5 compat mode. These are set in stone untilwe upgrade the accounting software (highly non-trivial).
