how can i check duplicate column names exist or not in the table?
If you have an apple & I have an apple and we exchange our apples, then each of us will still have only one apple but if you have an idea & I have an idea and we exchange our ideas, then each of us will have two ideas!

in SQL 2000 syscolumns contains all column names of each table and sysobjects contains all table names
Value 'U' in the column sysobjects.xtype indicates the objects is user table
id column in both tables are common which to be used for joining the two tables.

Assuming SQL Server 2000
if exists (select 1 from syscolumns where name = 'yourcolumnname' and id = object_id('yourtablename')<br />
begin<br />
select 'It exists'<br />
end<br />
else<br />
begin<br />
select 'its new'<br />
end
this will also work with SQL Server 2005 but you should be using the sys.xxx views

Hi,
Based on what you have described. It would be better if you create index before insert the reason being is that when a query uses a nonclustered index, it can use the index efficiently to find the rows. However when it has to go back to the clustered index for any additional columns not present in the nonclustered index (that is called a "lookup").
Lookups can be expensive, especially if needs to do them for a lot of rows -- so extremely narrow nonclustered indexes tend to be limited use except when you're only working with a single column (or the indexed column and the clustered index columns -- keep in mind that nonclustered indexes include the table's clustering key at the leaf level).
Hope this will help you in moving forward in your task  .

Create the clustered index first.
Inside the stored procedure that populates the table with the inserts sort the data in the same order as the clustered index.
This is because the clustered index will have to do a lot of page splits if you just throw all that data at it in any order (depending on how many rows you have).
Clustered indexes are primarily of use for OLAP data - so don't go crazy with them if the data is for OLTP...

I have a stored procedure that returns the max. number of publication views by author. I will not pass the author name, my stored procedure will select the top 1 like here.
SELECT DISTINCT TOP 1
dbo.FnGetNoOfPublicationViewsByAuthor(C.CUSTOM2) AS 'TotalPublicationsViews',
C.CUSTOM2 AS 'Author'
FROM HDS_CUSTOM C
GROUP BY C.CUSTOM2
I want to get the value of this Author seperately to use in other select statements in the same SP. how can I get it. Is there possibility?
Thanks.

<br />
DECLARE @TotalPublicationsViews AS VarChar(100)<br />
DECLARE @Author AS VarChar(100)<br />
<br />
SELECT DISTINCT TOP 1<br />
@TotalPublicationsViews = dbo.FnGetNoOfPublicationViewsByAuthor(C.CUSTOM2),<br />
@Author = C.CUSTOM2 <br />
FROM HDS_CUSTOM C <br />
GROUP BY C.CUSTOM2<br />
<br />
SELECT @TotalPublicationsViews, @Author<br />
Declare variables as per their respective DataTypes

hi friends
How to disable password complexity check while creating a new user.here I am getting the error message " The password does not meet Windows policy requirements because it is not complex enough".I want to disable this check.I used the script "EXEC dbo.sp_grantdbaccess @loginame = N'name', @name_in_db = N'name'" for creating user.
Thanks in advance

You can't disable it. This is a policy that is enforced on either the server (the entire Windows server) or domain wide, not just SQL Server. There is no way to disable this policy just to add a user and turn it back on.

Hi, I am getting a problem with my MySQL 5 database table while inserting a row which is having a primary key of two fields (A,B).
<br />
A=INTEGER<br />
B=AUTOINCREMENT FIELD<br />
PRIMARY KEY(A,B)
B is having maximum entry of 561629 (checked by query SELECT MAX(B) FROM TABLE1.
Whenever i used to insert next entry into data table with any integer value for A.
It is showing error "DUPLICATE ENTRY '232-561630'
But this type of entry is not shown with the query
SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE B=561630
which is not already exit.
Is there a problem with my db server or anything else..?

I am not dead sure, but the problem *may* have something to do with MYSQL as well (people around here do not use a lot of MYSQL). Have you tried asking it in the MySql forums[^]?
Besides that, we have a separate site for MYSQL[^]now.

You need to increment the value of B after using it

This will not actuall give the required results. The original question wanted
india japan china USA singapore
4 2 2 1 1
This will give
india 4
japan 2
china 2
USA 1
singapore 1
You actually need to pivot the data.
This code should show you how to do it
<br />
<br />
create table #b1(cola varchar(20))<br />
<br />
insert into #b1<br />
select 'India'<br />
union all<br />
select 'USA'<br />
union all<br />
select 'India'<br />
union all<br />
select 'UK'<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
DECLARE @SQL nvarchar(4000)<br />
SET @SQL='' <br />
<br />
SELECT @SQL= @SQL +<br />
'SUM(CASE WHEN cola=''' + a.cola + ''' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS [' + a.cola + '],'<br />
FROM (select distinct cola from #b1) as a<br />
<br />
select @SQL = left(@SQL,len(@SQL)-1)<br />
<br />
SET @SQL='SELECT ' + @SQL + ' FROM #b1'<br />
EXEC(@SQL)
Hope this helps

From SQL Enterprise Manager, select your server instance and go to
Management -> SQL Server Agent -> Jobs
right click "New Job"
write your SQL query under "step"
then schedule the job

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know of an easy way or trick to switch between System.Data.OracleClient and System.Data.SqlClient (and later MySQL's .NET Connector)? I want to give the user the choice of database to use without writing the same database code twice - once for each type of database.
I appreciate all comments or ideas. Thanks!

Why not use the OleDB classes, which should work for all of those but will be optimised for none ?
