Is there a quick way to select all the tables in the DB that don't have certain column in the table, so for example getting a list of all tables that don't have columns: A, B or C?
I have the following script that selects tables from my database with the same column name and then I delete data that falls within a specified condition. However what I need to be able to do is just select these tables that meet the condition and then just delete the data because at the moment it's also returning tables that I don't need.
So I just want to use a cursor on a table list that meet the criteria:
1) have qid column name 2) qid >= 5000000 and qid < 1500000000 '
Example
declare @strqry varchar(1000)
declare dailyYear cursor for SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE 'qid' = COLUMN_NAME order by table_name asc open dailyYear fetch next from dailyYear into @DelTable
while @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
begin
Set @strqry = 'Delete from '+@DelTable+' where qid >= 5000000 and qid < 1500000000 '
I need to show any values where the variance is negative for 3 or more consequtive jobs. So the rows in bold above would be returned.
I've found something here http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1022586&SiteID=1 But it's not exactly the same as that returns rows where the dates are consequtive and 2 rows have negative numbers.
Anyone got any suggestions on how to achieve this please?
I am working on a project that was assigned to me that has to do with data in one of our SQL databases. I have the following query that takes information from a single table and averages test scores for each student.
--Group all scores from same student and average them together
with cte_names as ( SELECT StudentID, MAX(StudentName) AS StudentName FROM LDCScores WHERE schoolYear='2014-2015' AND term = 3 GROUP BY StudentID
[code].....
I now need to take the results from the above query and determine the percentage of students, per school that scored a 2 or greater in grade 7 for each test. For grade 8 scored a 2.5 or greater, grade 9 scored a 3 or greater, grade 10 scored a 3 or greater, grade 11 scored a 3.5 or greater, and grade 12 scored a 3.5 or greater.
I have inherited a query which currently returns multiple instances of each work order because of the joined tables. The code is here and I've detailed the criteria needed below but need the best way to accomplish this:
Each work order should only be returned once, and with the following additional criteria:
1. i.meter - this should return only the lowest number from that file.
2. sm.next_calendar_date - this should return only the most recent date out of those selected for the certificates on this piece of equipment
3. wh.meterstop as [Last Service Hours], wh.date_created as [Last Service] - this should return the number from wh.meterstop at the most recent wh.date_created for that piece of equipment.
Hi All,Sorry if the subject line is too obscure -- I couldn't think of a wayof describing this request.I have a table that contains approximately 1 million records.I want to be able to be able to select the top x records out of thistable matching variable criteria.Pseudo table records:custid, category, segment1,1,12,1,13,1,14,1,15,1,26,1,27,1,28,1,29,2,110,2,111,2,112,2,113,2,214,2,215,2,216,2,217,2,318,2,319,2,320,2,3So, what I'm trying to do is return a recordset, for example, thatcontains the top 2 of each variation of category and segment.ie:1,1,12,1,15,1,26,1,29,2,110,2,113,2,214,2,217,2,318,2,3The only way I can think to achieve this is in a while statement,performing individual selects against each combination, feeding thewhere criteria by variables that I automatically increment.I can't help thinking there's a much more graceful way of achievingthis?If anyone can give me any insight into this I'd be incrediblyappreciative!Many thanks in advance!Much warmth,Murray
I have a report with a date type parameter. Depending on the value return by this date type parameter the dataset will return either the credit, deposit or process date. How do I go about coding it so that it will dynamically select the right column in my query for my dataset?
I have two tables a and b, where I want to add columns from b to a with a criteria. The columns will be added by month criteria. There is a column in b table called stat_month which ranges from 1 (Jan) to 12 (Dec). I want to keep all the records in a, and join columns from b for each month. I do not want to loose any row from a if there is no data for that row in b.
I do not know how to have the multiple joins for 12 different months and what join I have to use. I used left join but still I am loosing not all but few rows in a, I would also like to know how in one script I can columns separately from stat_mont =’01’ to stat_month =’12’
/****** Script for SelectTopNRows command from SSMS ******/ SELECT a.[naics] ,a.[ust_code] ,a.[port] ,a.[all_qty_1_yr] ,a.[all_qty_2_yr]
[Code] ....
Output should have all columns from a and join columns from b when the months = '01' (for Jan) , '02' (for FEB), ...'12' (for Dec): Output table should be something like
* columns from a AND JAN_Cum_qty_1_mo JAN_Cum_qty_2_mo JAN_Cum_all_val_mo JAN_Cum_air_val_mo JAN_Cum_air_wgt_mo JAN_Cum_ves_val_mo FEB_Cum_qty_1_mo FEB_Cum_qty_2_mo FEB_Cum_all_val_mo FEB_Cum_air_val_mo FEB_Cum_air_wgt_mo FEB_Cum_ves_val_mo .....DEC_Cum_qty_1_mo DEC_Cum_qty_2_mo DEC_Cum_all_val_mo DEC_Cum_air_val_mo DEC_Cum_air_wgt_mo DEC_Cum_ves_val_mo (FROM TABLE b)

I have a straight-forward select query to show work orders for a particular customer as below. I want to add a field value from another table, deltickitem diwhich contains contract records. I need to include the field di.weekchg to show the weekly hire rate, but the joined query must ensure that the both the contract number matches that in the original select and that the item number matches that in the actual select. Additionally, there is the problem that the item can appear more than once in the deltickitem table against a particular contract (if item has been off-hired and then re-hired on the same contract number) - in this case the query must select the record with the highest di.counter number, which I haven't worked out how to put in my query.
This is my basic code, but I keep ending up with duplicate work order lines in my result set.
Select wh.worknumber, wh.custnum, wh.contract, wh.sitename, wh.itemcode, wh.regnum, m.name, di.weekchg, wh.date_created, wh.task_descr, wh.actual_labour_sale+wh.actual_parts_sale as [Repair Cost] From worksorderhdr wh Left Join inventory iv On iv.item = wh.itemcode inner Join models m On m.id = iv.model_id left join deltickitem di on di.dticket = wh.contract where wh.custnum = 'BARRATNE' and wh.rejected <> 1 and wh.charge_to_cust = 1 order by wh.date_created

The database has approx. 2500 temporary tables. The temp tables match a pattern such as APTMP... I tried deleting the tables in SSMS with the statement, Delete from Information_Schema.tables where substring(table_name,1,5) = 'APTMP' This returns the error message"Ad hoc updates to system catalogs are not allowed".
What is the correct way to delete a group of tables whose name match a pattern from within SSMS?
SELECT * FROM TableA A JOIN TableB B ON A.PrimaryKeyID = B.ForeignKeyID WHERE B.SomeParamColumn = @SomeParam
SELECT * FROM TableA A JOIN TableB B ON A.PrimaryKeyID = B.ForeignKeyID AND B.SomeParamColumn = @SomeParam
Both of these queries return the same result set, but the first query filters the results in the WHERE clause whereas the the second query filters the results in the JOIN criteria. Once upon a time a DBA told me that I should always use the syntax of the first query (WHERE clause). Is there any truth to this, and if so, why?
Using SQL2000. How do I format my select statement to choose one outof 24 different tables? Each table is slightly different and I washoping I could use one select statement and format it on-the-flyinstead of using 24 different ones. I had in mind using a casestatement, something like this:select * fromcase when <input parameter> = 'something1' then tblSomething1case when <input parameter> = 'something2' then tblSomething2...and so on...Thanks for any help.
How would I create a select statement to select all rows from Package (PackageID, Destination, Source) where the CleintID=1 and the PackageID exists in pending packages with a status of 0?
Can this be done using a select statement or would I have to create a view? I'm not too sure!
Plugging away at my little message board that I am working on, I have hit another SQL snag. I am trying to select a list of all posts in a thread. I have to get each post, the name of the poster (which comes from a different table - referenced by userid), as well as some profil information, from a 3rd table (also referenced by the userid).

Hi there,I'm new to sql and thus I'm having problems with a specific query which Ihope you guys can help me with.Basicly I have a few tables which I'm trying to do a query on:Table groups contains information about specific groups e.g. "Windows" or"Unix".Table users contains information about specific users e.g. "a", "b" or "c".Table users_groups contain information about group relationship (a user canbe in multiple groups) e.g. (a, Windows), (b, Unix), (a, Unix).In this case user c is ungrouped.Now I'd like to find the users which does belong to group Windows and thosewho do not:select distinct username from users_groups where groupname = "Windows" orderby username asc;This works pretty well for finding users in the specific group. In this casethe result is a.However I'd like to get the opposite result (b and c) but I'm stuck.The problem is that I'd like a list of all users excluding those which arein "Windows"Here is a partial query:select distinct users.username from users left join users_groups onusers.username = users_groups.username where users_groups.username is nullorder by users.username asc;This only gives me those users who are not grouped at all. This mean thatuser b is not in those results.Please advise.Thanks in advance.-- Henrik
Is it possible to get a list of rows from Multiple tables which have the same Column Name. I have 3 tables which comtain similar info and I want to get a list of Names the structure is
ID;Name;Address;Phone No.
I was thinking something along the lines of SELECT Name FROM TABLE1,TABLE2, TABLE3
But this does not work.
Is there a nice way of doing this with SQL or should I do code outside the SQL DB
Is there a way to select out the contents of sys.comments for an object (in this case, a procedure) so that it is nicely formatted?
The reason being, is that I want to update source control with all objects from the live environment (as it has become out of date.... long story). Currently, we have a single script for each object, split in directories for each object type. Anyway, I also want to wrap the objects in our standards (check for object existence, print out success/fail statements, etc).
Any suggestions to make the process more automated and less painfull? I don't want to have to script each object out, manually wrap it in standards and save as that would be perhaps the most tedious task in the world!!!!
Hello Tsql experts, Can you please explain to me what the differnce is between selecting into a table and creating a new tabel and inerting in to it like so:
First way: select names into #ancestors from names
and
second way
create table #names( name varchar(10) )
insert into #names (name) values(name) select names from names
is it just personal choice or performance in one method is better than the other.Can you please explain. Thanks
Hello!I have two tables:Pressreleases:| Pressrelease_ID | PressDate | FilePath | Title |PressLinks:| PressLink_ID | PressLinkDate | PressLinkUrl | PressText |I would like to select the the TOP 3 with the most recent dates from either Pressreleases or PressLinks, and present them in a DataList. How do I do that? Selecting from one table is no problem:SELECT TOP 3 Pressreleases.PressDate, Pressreleases.Filepath, PressReleases.Title FROM Pressreleases ORDER BY PressDate DESCHow do I select from both tables and rename the columns to Date, Path, Text so that I can use it in a Datalist?Thank you in advance!
I want to select columns from different tables into a single table...Not sure if a temp table is suited for this and if so how I should implement it (NOTE: this query will be executed many times by different users at the same time, so I'd rather avoid temp tables!)I have:TABLE1idfirstnamedescriptioncreatedateTABLE2idcarnamespecificationsimportdateNow, I want a resultset that has the columns (columns from other tables from which the values should be retreived are behind the desired columns):id (TABLE1.id, TABLE2.id)title (TABLE1.firstname , TABLE2.carname)description (TABLE1.description , TABLE2.sepcifications)date (TABLE1.createdate , TABLE2.importdate)Thanks!
This is feeling very hard for me, but is surely very easy for many of you. I have 2 Tables. "Events" and "Meals". Both have a columns named "EventDate" and "EventTime". I need to be able to compile a list of both and sort by event date and time. For example, a Meal @ 5:30 would place itself between a 4:00 Event, and a 6:30 Event.
I currently have two tables called Book and JournalPaper, both of which have a column called Publisher. Currently the data in the Publisher column is the Publisher name that is entered straight into either table and has been duplicated in many cases. To tidy this up I have created a new table called Publisher where each entry will have a unique ID.
I now want to remove the Publisher columns from Book and JournalPaper, replace it with an ID foreign key column and move the Publisher name data into the Publisher table. Is there a way I can do this without duplicating the data as some publishers appear several times on both tables?
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated as my limited SQL is not up to this particular challenge!!! Thanks!
I moved this from another forum because it seems more related to replication the longer I look into it! The following code often dies on a deadlock. I have also seen "Spid x blocked by Spid x", where x is the spid of this connection. The view selects from several tables and some other views as well, and many of the underlying tables are being updated by replication. I have seen cases where the replication Insert proc participated in the deadlock, and the table being inserted into is joined twice in the view, suggesting that somehow this causes the deadlock or makes a deadlock more likely?
SELECT * INTO dbo.tbl_stg_LoansMarketingFirstBorrower FROM view_loans_marketing_first_borrower OPTION (MAXDOP 1)
I do not understand how selecting from a view can cause a deadlock with a proc which does not reference tbl_stg_LoansMarketingFirstBorrower. Any suggestions on how to diagnose this? I used (1204) to identify the proc and underlying table.
I have 10 tables, table1, table2, table3, table4.......table10. all these tables have different structure. From each of these tables I want extract data and dump into flat file csv.
So i have OLEDB source and FlatFile Destination.
If i write seperate data flow task for each of the tables, then there is no issue.
But i want to use a single data flow task for all these tables. So for this, i use a variable @SQLStr . And i dynamically set the value of this variable to select * from table1, select * from table2.........selct * from table10.
So in the OLEDB source I select Data Access Mode as : SQL Command from variable. And I use @SQLStr for this varible.
For Destination, i dynamically generate the flat file for each of the table.
But this doesnt work, i get validation errors.
So, first can i use a single data flow task to dynamically change the source(different source tables) and destination. If so, what i am missing in the above process?
I am pulling info out of MSDB to report on job schedules. As we have a mixture of 2005 and 2000 servers, I am varying my select statement according to the result of [Code]
Set @Version = SubString(Convert(VarChar(10), (Select ServerProperty('ProductVersion'))),1,1)
[/Code]
I have to vary the tables for each condition. Not a problem, [Code] if @Version = 9 begin Select whatever from table1 join table2 end Else begin Select whatever from table1 join table3 end
Problem is that SQL 2005 is trying to verify the existence of the fields in the tables on compile (it knows that the table, for example, sysjobschedules exists in 2005, but the field "Name" doesn't - although it does in 2000) , even after the if statement checking if the version is 8, and SQL 2000 uses 2 tables whilst 2005 needs 3, and the fields I need are on one table in 2000, but in a different table in 2005. SQL 2000 is fine with it - it just does it. Syntax checking is fine. Just to clarify, here is my code: [Code]
Declare @Version Char(1), @CurrentDate datetime
Set @CurrentDate = GetDate()
Create Table #TempSchedDetails

)
Set @Version = SubString(Convert(VarChar(10), (Select ServerProperty('ProductVersion'))),1,1)
If @Version = '9'

Hi, I was wanting to know if it is possible to create a left join when selecting from 3 seperate tables.
Select p.Project_name, p.project_id, cp.email_display_name, te.Mon FROM tblProject p, tblCorpPerson cp, tblTimeEntry te WHERE p.Project_ID = te.Project_ID AND p.Person_ID = @PersonID AND cp.Person_ID = p.Person_ID
I need to return all rows from tblProject, and any matching project_id's from tblTimeEntry.
I want to have a linking table say for example we call this a claim. Based on the claim number you need to relate to one of say 6 different types of claims. The types of claims related to their own individual parent table. (individual because each type of claim tracks completely different information) does anyone have an idea on how to set this up?
Sample Structure
table = Claim Field 1 = ClaimTypeA_ID Field 2 = ClaimTypeB_ID Field 3 = ClaimTypeC_ID Field 4 = ClaimTypeD_ID Field 5 = ClaimTypeE_ID Field 6 = ClaimTypeF_ID
The six field relate to the 6 different tables ID.
If I do this how do I store the data? put 0's in each of the claim types that are not used???
