I am working on what should be a super simple query for SQL Server 2014. All I want to do is check that our systems can interface with SQL Server after updates, etc. So I need to just verify that it makes the connection correctly and finds a table within the Server.
Attempt 1:
SELECT TOP (1) *
From [X].[dbo].[Y]
WITH (NOLOCK);
But apparently 'top' is not a supported option with SQL Server 2014.
To add some more, here is the exact error I get when trying to run that: Syntax error. The token 'Top' is invalid. Please check the case of your operators (eg 'or' versus 'OR') and check that your functions use brackets after the function name eg Now(), eg Len("abc").
Attempt 2:
SELECT *
From [X].[dbo].[Y]
WITH (NOLOCK)
LIMIT (1);
That one tells me that I need to put data items between [], text between "", and functions as FunctionName(). However...I don't see where I missed any of those.
Can anybody possibly shed some light on why my query isn't going through? Any help would be appreciated.
The first attempt should work just fine:
SELECT TOP (1) *
From [dbo].[Y]
WITH (NOLOCK);
See example
If it doesn't work, you should include the error message.

I’ve inherited a big application which is running on CF 9.01.
I’m in the process to port it to Lucee 5.3.3.62, but have some problems with and
I know that I should replace it with , but this application has ~1000 source files (!!), and replacing all those tags is currently not obvious for timing reasons.
Lucee is throwing errors like:
“An object or column name is missing or empty. For SELECT INTO
statements, verify each column has a name. For other statements, look
for empty alias names. Aliases defined as “” or are not allowed.
Change the alias to a valid name.”
At first, I thought there were problems with date field, because Lucee is handling them differently than CF 9.01, but this is not the case.
So, I created a test table (on MS-SQL Server 2008R2):
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[LuceeTest01](
[Field1] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[Field2] [nvarchar](50) NULL ) ON [PRIMARY]
In Lucee, I’m using as datasource: Microsoft SQL Server (Vendor Microsoft), called “one”
This is my test application:
<cfset Form.Field1 = "Field1">
<cfset Form.Field2 = "Field2">
<cfoutput>
<cfinsert datasource="one"
tablename="LuceeTest01"
formfields="Field1, Field2">
</cfoutput>
When I run this, I get the same error. Any idea why?
Full trace here: https://justpaste.it/6k0hw
Thanks!
EDIT1:
Curious. I tried using “jTDS Type 4 JDBC Driver for MS SQL Server and Sybase” as datasource driver, and now the error is:
The database name component of the object qualifier must be the name
of the current database.
This traces back to this statement:
{call []..sp_columns 'LuceeTest01', '', '', 'null', 3}
When I try this in the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, I get the same error.
However, when I specify the database name (‘one’ as third argument), no error in MS SQL SMS.
EXEC sp_columns 'LuceeTest01', '', 'one', 'null', 3
Shouldn’t Lucee take this argument from the datasource configuration or something?
EDIT2:
As suggested by #Redtopia, when "tableowner" and "tablequalifier" are specified, it works for the jTDS driver. Will use this as workaround.
Updated sample code:
<cfset Form.Field1 = "Field1">
<cfset Form.Field2 = "Field2">
<cfinsert datasource="onecfc"
tableowner="dbo"
tablename="LuceeTest01"
tablequalifier="one"
formfields="Field1,Field2">
EDIT3:
Bug filed here: https://luceeserver.atlassian.net/browse/LDEV-2566
I personally would refactor CFINSERT into queryExecute and write a plain InsertInto SQL statement. I wish we would completely remove support for cfinsert.
Consider using
<cfscript>
Form.Field1 = "Field1";
Form.Field2 = "Field2";
// Don't forget to setup datasource in application.cfc
QueryExecute("
INSERT INTO LuceeTest01 (Field1, Field2)
VALUES (?, ?)
",
[form.field1, form.field2]
);
</cfscript>
I am 99% confident that this is a Lucee / JDK / JDBC Driver bug and not a fault in your config.
Source:
I initially suspected some low-hanging fruit such as your leading whitespace in ' Field2'. Then I saw your comment showing that you had tried with that trimmed and your Edit1 with the different error when using a different DB Driver. So I set to work trying to reproduce your issue.
On Lucee 5.2.4.37 and MS SQL Server 2016, armed with your sample code and two new datasources - one each for jTDS (MSQL and Sybase) driver and Microsoft SQL Server (JDBC4 - Vendor Microsoft) on SQL, I was unable to reproduce either issue on either driver. Even when selectively taking away various DB permissions and changing default DB for the SQL user, I was still only able to force different (expected) errors, not your error.
As soon as I hit the admin update to Lucee 5.3.3.62 and re-ran the tests, boom I hit both of your errors with the respective datasources, with no other change in DB permissions, datasource config or sample code.
Good luck convincing the Lucee guys that this anecdotal evidence is proof of a bug, but give me a shout if you need an extra voice. Whilst I don't use cfinsert/cfupdate in my own code, I have in the recent past been in the position of supporting a legacy CF application of similar sounding size and nature and empathise with the logistical challenges surrounding refactoring or modernising it!
Edit:
I tried the tablequalifier suggestion from #Redtopia in a comment above. Adding just the tablequalifier attribute did not work for me with either DB driver.
Using both tablequalifier="dbname" and tableowner="dbo" still didn't work for me with the MS SQL Server driver, but does seem to work for the jTDS driver, so it's a possible workaround meaning changing every occurrence of the tag, so ideally the Lucee guys will be able to fix the bug from their end or identify which Java update broke it if Lucee itself didn't.
I use UPDATE a SET GR_P = REPLACE(GR_P,'','') FROM mytable a to replace things.
But replace function is not working for below charter:
In Query analyzer it works but when I used SSIS Execute SQL task or OLEDB Source then it is giving me error:
No Connection manager is specified.
In Toad against Oracle (since that's one of your tags), I issued this (pressing ALT-12 to get the female symbol) and got 191 as a result. note selecting it back using CHR(191) shows an upside-down question mark though.
select ascii('♀') from dual;
Given that, this worked but it's Oracle syntax, your mileage may vary.
UPDATE mytable SET GR_P = REPLACE(GR_P, CHR(191));
Note if it does not work, that symbol could be for another control character. You may need to use a regular expression to eliminate all characters not in a-zA-Z0-9, etc. I suspect you'll need to update your tags to get a more accurate answer.
Maybe this info will help anyway. Please post back what you find out.
I am currently working on a project where is need to send existing tables with all their fields to an sql database (backend).
what i have so far is to generate an make-table query and then execute it, but i allways get the error....
"SELECT statement includes a reserved word or an argument name that is
misspelled or missing, or the punctuation is incorrect."
the generated string is SELECT * INTO (Provider=SQLOLEDB;SERVER=stserver;DATABASE=stdatabase;UID=userid;PWD=userpass).AAAANewTable FROM AAAANewTable WITH OWNERACCESS OPTION;
of cause the stdatabase and userid ect, are string variables :-)
Can anyone help me with the correct syntax? or give an example of what the correct syntax should look like?
Any help would be greately appreciated.
This sql statement:
SELECT DAY('2007-04-30T01:01:01.1234567 -07:00');
is copied from the SQL Server 2012 documentation and tested in my SQL Server 2012 express edition environment. But there was an error saying
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.
I understand that the character type argument passed in DAY() is unable to be converted to a datetime type value, meaning it has the wrong format (incompatible with some current settings related to SET DATEFORMAT or any settings I don't know). So that's what I would like to know about. Could you explain why that sample statement (not of mine) does not work in my environment. My SQL Server instance was installed with default settings, I've not changed anything after installing it.
By modifying the input string a little, it works:
SELECT DAY('2007-04-30T01:01:01.123'); -- Works!
But these don't (saying the same error I posted at first):
SELECT DAY('2007-04-30T01:01:01.1234'); -- just add 4
SELECT DAY('2007-04-30T01:01:01.123 -07:00'); -- just add -07:00
Looks like there is some settings related to this problem, please tell me what it might be and how to fix this issue (I don't want to change the input string as I tried to make it work).
Thanks for your time solving my problem!
UPDATE:
Also done as some suggestions, like this:
SELECT DAY('2007-04-30T01:01:01.1234567-07:00');
SELECT DAY('2007-04-30T01:01:01.123-07:00');
but it still does not work.
Well, I found the problem. In fact the statement itself (as some ones suggested) should work, but that's just one side of the problem. The other side is the compatibility level of the current datatbase. In my case it's just 90 (which is SQL Server 2005), so explicit casting is required. By changing the compatibility level to 110 (SQL Server 2012) or explicitly casting, it works expectedly.
In Management Studio, you can right click on the tables group to create a filter for the table list. Has anyone figured out a way to include multiple tables in the filter? For example, I'd like all tables with "br_*" and "tbl_*" to show up.
Anyone know how to do this?
No, you can't do this. When we first got Management Studio I've tried every possible combination of everything you could think of: _, %, *, ", ', &&, &, and, or, |, ||, etc...
You might be able to roll your own addon to SMSS that would allow you to do what you are looking for:
The Black Art of Writing a SQL Server Management Studio 2005 Add-In
Extend Functionality in SQL Server 2005 Management Studio with Add-ins
The first one is specifically for searching and displaying all schema objects with a given name so you might be able to expand upon that for what you are looking for.
I'm using SQL Server Management Studio v17.1 and it has a SQL injection bug in it's filter construction, so you can actually escape default
tbl.name like '%xxx%'
and write your own query (with some limitations). For example to filter tables that are ending with "_arch", "_hist", "_purge" I used following filter value
_arch') and RIGHT(tbl.name, 5) != N'purge' and RIGHT(tbl.name, 4) != N'hist' and not(tbl.name like N'bbb
You can use SQL Server Profiler to see the constructed query and adjust it as needed.
Not sure if this same bug is available in previous SQL Management Studio versions or when it will be fixed, but for now I'm happy with the result.
I've used Toad for SQL Server (freeware version) which has very nice filtering options.
At first it looks like it could use a CONTAINS query (e.g. "br_*" OR "tbl_*"), but it doesn't seem to. It seems to only support a value that is then passed into a LIKE clause (e.g. 'app' becomes '%app%').
The "sql injection" method still works (v17.5), but with a twist:
zzzz' or charindex('pattern1', name) > 0 or charindex('pattern2', name) > 0 or name like 'zzzz
(I used the 'zzzz' to bypass the '%')
It doesn´t work if '_' or '%' is used in the patterns (or anywhere on your code), because it will automatically be replaced by '[_]' or '[%]' before evaluation.
As others have said, you cannot do this in SQL Server Management Studio (up and including 2014).
The following query will give you a filtered list of tables, if this is all you need:
SELECT
CONCAT(TABLE_SCHEMA, '.', TABLE_NAME) AS TABLE_SCHEMA_AND_NAME,
TABLE_SCHEMA,
TABLE_NAME
FROM
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE
TABLE_SCHEMA IN ('X', 'Y', 'Z') -- schemas go here
ORDER BY
TABLE_SCHEMA,
TABLE_NAME;
The SQL injection method still works (somewhat) as of SSMS 2017 v17.8.1, although it puts brackets around the % symbol, so it will interpret those literally.
If you're using the Name->Contains filter, Profiler shows:
... AND dtb.name LIKE N'%MyDatabase1%')
So, in the Name->Contains field: MyDatabase1') OR (dtb.name LIKE 'MyDatabase2 should do it for simple cases.
This is old I know, but it's good to know that it can works if you input just entering the "filter" text. Skip * or % or any other standard search characters, just enter br_ or tbl_ or whatever you want to filter on.
Your in luck, I just conquered that feat, although my success is small because you can filter by schema which would allow you see more than 1 table but you have to type the filter text in each time you want to change it.
