Does anyone know if it is possible to find out if a table name already exists using SQL?
Yes.

and if yes what is the code?
IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM sysobjects WHERE xtype='U' AND [name]=@name_of_table)

Hi,
Im new to Stored Procedures and was wondering if there was answer to my question. I have created about 5 stored procedures in SQL Enterprise Manager under "Stored Procedure". One of the parameters is sp_name. Is there a way I can populate a list of the stored procedure names in a table without manually doing so. The idea being is that if the stored_procedures are updated - the table will reflect the changes without having to be manually corrected. Thanking you in advance.

I think it's safer to use the (documented) INFORMATION_SCHEMA views:
SELECT ROUTINE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES
Grim (aka Toby) MCDBA, MCSD, MCP+SB
SELECT * FROM user WHERE clue IS NOT NULL
GO
(0 row(s) affected)

Or the equally documented sysobjects. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/tsqlref/ts_sys-o_4zll.asp[^]
And quite frankly, after using the INFORMATION_SCHEMA views earlier this year... Or should I say attempt to use them. I threw them out and refuse to use them until Microsoft come up with something that is actually useful. Have you actually looked at the source for the views - What a load of complete rubbish!
For example, this is part of the SELECT clause from the ROUTINES view:
SPECIFIC_CATALOG = db_name(),
SPECIFIC_SCHEMA = user_name(o.uid),
SPECIFIC_NAME = o.name,
ROUTINE_CATALOG = db_name(),
ROUTINE_SCHEMA = user_name(o.uid),
ROUTINE_NAME = o.name,
Why have SPECIFIC_CATALOG and ROUTINE_CATALOG? They are the same thing.
Why have SPECIFIC_SCHEMA and ROUTINE_SCHEMA? They are also the same thing.
Why have SPECIFIC_NAME and ROUTINE_NAME? It is just wasting bandwidth and processing time repeating the same data again and again.

Because they may not be the same thing in, say, SQL Server 2005 (don't know, haven't bothered to fool with it yet), or the first service pack for SQL2k5.
When I tried to go to your documentation link, I got:
Page Cannot Be Found
We apologize for the inconvenience, but the page you are seeking cannot be found in this location.
My original point being that the system tables are subject to completely change their function, schema, usage, etc from one service pack to the next. The schema views aren't.

SELECT * FROM user WHERE clue IS NOT NULL

Don't worry, you can find it in the SQL Server books online that come with SQL Server. In the index type sysobjects.

That's fine if you can put up with the limitations of the views. But I found them to be very restrictive and they do not return full information.

"Try:
select name from dbo.sysobjects where OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsProcedure') = 1 "

Hello every buddy,
How can I add for example some minutes to a datetime type value and get result again as a datetime?
Thank you so much,
- Den

This example takes the current time and adds 5 minutes to it:
DATEADD(minute, 5, getdate())
The first arg is the date part (minute, hour, year, month, etc.)
The second arg is the amount you want to add (or for negative values, subtract)
The third argument is the source datetime.
Do you want to know more?

All I can do to appreciate now is to say thanks

Hello all!
I have created a trigger insert in a table. But I need to insert a row at a time. So every time the trigger fires, it only affects the next row, 1, 2, 3, ect. I know i can specify a a row, with a key id. But I need to make it so it goes to the next row automaticly. Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks
Rudy

Please clarify.
Are you saying that you need to support multirow inserts?? If so you can use @@rowcount to determine the number of rows being inserted and then use a cursor to process each row individualy.

Almost every example I have seen describe how to access Access database located on the local machine (C:/...)
But how do I work with Access database located on a hosted server. I would be grateful, if some can show how to connect to hosted Access databases using VS.net 2003.
Also, The follwoing command works fine with sqlCommand, but VS.net complaints when I try to use it with oleDbCommand. Any idea why?? CanI use stored procedures with Access?
INSERT INTO QR_Suppliers (SupplierName, QuestionID, Response, Comments) VALUES (@name, @question, @response, @comments)
regards

This may seem like a dumb question, but did you reboot the SQL server after you installed SP3a? And, are you installing the Reporting Services as an administrator of the SQL Server?

After installation I also reboot my machine and reboot SQL server service (at the system tray). But when I install, it still not working. But during the installation of sql sp3a I found the splash screen display sql 2000 service pack 3 not servic pack 3a. I don't know why, but I still continue because the file that I download get from the link of Microsoft Website.
Note: I used to install sql 2000 service pack 3 in the last 2 month, before I install the sp3a that i download from the internet yesterday.

The user account that I use is the member of Administrators group. I think it is enough for me to install any application.
Any solution???

hi all,
i have a dts that copies table contents from remote server to local server.
remote table:
ItemID|name
1 |name1
2 |name22
3 |name33
local table:
ItemID|name
1 |name1
2 |name2
i want that the dts will only copy the new rows( aka. row with ItemID = 3) and leave the other rows as they are.
can any one help me create such a dts.

You don't really want DTS. You want replication.
using System.Beer;

dts and replication.. not the same?
how should i do this using replication?
please post some guide/tutorial/example.. thank you!

I am setting up and MSDE Instance by using the Setup.Exe method (versus the MSI method).
The setup progresses just fine until it tries to run the SQLREDIS.EXE files.
Here is an exerpt from the verbose MSDE log file...
Starting custom action InstallSqlRedis<br />
Executing "F:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\sqlredis.exe /q:a"<br />
MSI (c) (BC:74): Font created. Charset: Req=0, Ret=0, Font: Req=MS Shell Dlg, Ret=MS Shell Dlg<br />
<br />
Installation of the Microsoft Data Access Components package failed.<br />
MSI (s) (3C!64): Product: Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine -- Installation of the Microsoft Data Access Components package failed.
I have manually preinstalled MDAC 2.8 and used Component Checker to verify everything is okay. Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong?
The "F:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server" folder does not exist prior to nor after the setup is done/failed.
