I have a database in SQL Server with 100 tables inside it.
I need to write a query that parses all the rows in all the columns in all 100 tables and returns the rows that have the special characters %,#.
How do I write a query that parses all the rows in all the tables?
Maybe not so subtle solution, but is functional:
USE TSQL2012
GO
DECLARE #ColumnName VARCHAR (50)
DECLARE #TableName VARCHAR (50)
DECLARE #SchemaName VARCHAR (50)
DECLARE #SQLQuery NVARCHAR (200)
DECLARE findSpecialCharacters CURSOR
FOR
SELECT c.name, o.name, s.name from sys.columns c
INNER JOIN sys.objects o ON c.object_id = o.object_id
INNER JOIN sys.schemas s ON o.schema_id = s.schema_id
WHERE o.type = 'U'
OPEN findSpecialCharacters
FETCH NEXT FROM findSpecialCharacters
INTO #ColumnName, #TableName, #SchemaName
WHILE ##FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SET #SQLQuery =
'SELECT ' + #ColumnName + ', * FROM ' +
#SchemaName + '.' + #TableName +
' WHERE (' + #ColumnName + ' LIKE ' +
CHAR(39) + CHAR(37) + '[,]' + CHAR(37) + CHAR(39) + ') OR (' +
#ColumnName + ' LIKE ' +
CHAR(39) + CHAR(37) + '[#]' + CHAR(37) + CHAR(39) + ') OR (' +
#ColumnName + ' LIKE ' +
CHAR(39) + CHAR(37) + '[%]' + CHAR(37) + CHAR(39) + ')'
PRINT 'Table: ' + #TableName + '; Column: ' + #ColumnName
PRINT #SQLQuery
EXEC sp_executesql #SQLQuery
FETCH NEXT FROM findSpecialCharacters
INTO #ColumnName, #TableName, #SchemaName
END
CLOSE findSpecialCharacters
DEALLOCATE findSpecialCharacters
First, I was searching for all columns in all tables, and that result set put in FOR SELECT cursor statement. If table has five columns, then my cursor will create five different result set, depending on which column is WHERE filter.
But, for distinction on which column is searching, I simple put that column as first in select list.

I am currently trying to get details of maximum and minimum data length (using DATALENGTH / LEN) for all columns on all tables on my SQL Server database.
Currently what I can do is I can show the details of the actual length of a column when setting up the table, maximum and minimum data length but only for one table.
I have about 50 tables that I want to check, so instead of checking each table one by one, could anyone assist in getting the result for all tables within one single query?
This is the query that I currently use (I found the query from an online source):
DECLARE #TSQL VARCHAR(MAX) = ''
DECLARE #TableName sysname = 'MyTable'
SELECT #TSQL = #TSQL + 'SELECT ' + QUOTENAME(sc.name, '''') + ' AS ColumnName,
' + QUOTENAME(t.name, '''') + ' AS DataType, ' +
QUOTENAME(sc.max_length, '''') + ' AS ActualLength,
MIN(DATALENGTH(' + QUOTENAME(sc.name) + ')) AS MinUsedLength,
MAX(DATALENGTH(' + QUOTENAME(sc.name) + ')) AS MaxUsedLength FROM '+#TableName+ char(10) +' UNION '
FROM sys.columns sc
JOIN sys.types t on t.system_type_id = sc.system_type_id and t.name != 'sysname'
WHERE sc.OBJECT_ID = OBJECT_ID(#TableName)
SET #TSQL = LEFT(#TSQL, LEN(#TSQL)-6)
EXEC(#TSQL)
DECLARE #SQL NVARCHAR(max) = N'';
SELECT #SQL = #SQL + N'SELECT '''
+ C.TABLE_SCHEMA + N''' AS TABLE_SCHEMA, '''
+ C.TABLE_NAME + N''' AS TABLE_NAME, '''
+ C.COLUMN_NAME + N''' AS COLUMN_NAME, '
+ N'MIN(DATALENGTH([' + C.COLUMN_NAME + N'])) AS MIN_LENGTH, '
+ N'MAX(DATALENGTH([' + C.COLUMN_NAME + N'])) AS MAX_LENGTH '
+ N'FROM [' + + C.TABLE_SCHEMA + N'].[' + C.TABLE_NAME
+N'] UNION ALL '
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES AS T
JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS AS C
ON T.TABLE_SCHEMA = C.TABLE_SCHEMA AND
T.TABLE_NAME = C.TABLE_NAME
WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE';
SET #SQL = LEFT(#SQL, LEN(#SQL) - 10);
EXEC (#SQL);
i have searched this one out for a while, but just don't know if there is a "silver bullet" solution to what I'm looking to do. I have a table in my DB (for the sake of this discussion the actual columns are irrelevant). I want to be able to look at 2 rows from the same table and get a list of columns that are different between the 2.
I know I could write a whole bunch of TSQL to make this happen for a specific table, but I was hoping there was a built in function in SQL Server (I'm running 2008 R2) that could do this.
I know there are simple functions like CHECKSUM that will tell me if 2 rows are different, but I need the specifics of which columns are different.
Preferably I would like to make it into a UDF and pass the table name, and primary keys of the 2 rows I want compared.
Any Thoughts or Suggestions?
--EDIT-- Here is the solution I came up with:
Well, It is certainly not the most elegant solution...but it will work in a pinch.
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_Compare_Table_Rows
(
#TablePK varchar(1000), -- The Name of the Primary Key in that Table
#TableName varchar(1000), -- The Name of the Table
#PK1 int, -- The ID of the 1st table
#PK2 int -- The ID of the 2nd table
)
AS
DECLARE #Holder table
(
Column_Name varchar(250),
Different bit
)
INSERT INTO #Holder(Column_Name,Different)
select
COLUMN_NAME,0
from
LPS_DEV.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE
TABLE_NAME = #TableName
and ORDINAL_POSITION >1
DECLARE #LoopedColumnName varchar(250)
DECLARE #DynamicQuery nvarchar(max)
DECLARE #ORD1 int
DECLARE #ORD2 int
SET #DynamicQuery = ''
SET #LoopedColumnName = ''
SET #ORD1 = 0
SET #ORD2 = 0
DECLARE MYCUR CURSOR FOR SELECT Column_Name FROM #Holder
OPEN MYCUR
FETCH NEXT FROM MYCUR INTO #LoopedColumnName
WHILE ##FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SET #DynamicQuery = 'SELECT #Outer= CHECKSUM(' + #LoopedColumnName + ') FROM ' + #TableName + ' WHERE ' + #TablePK + ' = ' + CONVERT(varchar(100),#PK1)
exec sp_executesql #DynamicQuery, N'#Outer int output',#ORD1 out
SET #DynamicQuery = 'SELECT #Outer= CHECKSUM(' + #LoopedColumnName + ') FROM ' + #TableName + ' WHERE ' + #TablePK + ' = ' + CONVERT(varchar(100),#PK2)
exec sp_executesql #DynamicQuery, N'#Outer int output',#ORD2 out
IF #ORD1 <> #ORD2
BEGIN
UPDATE #Holder SET Different = 1 WHERE Column_Name = #LoopedColumnName
END
FETCH NEXT FROM MYCUR INTO #LoopedColumnName
END
CLOSE MYCUR
DEALLOCATE MYCUR
select * from #Holder
John, you can use something like this. This will display the column names -
Set the #tablename and #whereclause.
declare #tablename varchar(1000),
#cols varchar(max),
#sqlstmt nvarchar(max),
#whereclause nvarchar(max);
set #tablename = 'sometable';
set #whereclause = ' where
a.col1 = ''SOMEOTHERVALUE'' and a.datecol2 = ''19910101'' and
b.col2 = ''SOMEVALUE'' and b.datecol2 = ''19910101''
'
select #cols = stuff((
select ', case when a.' + c.name + ' = b.' + c.name
+ ' then '''' else ''' + c.name + ''' end'
from sys.columns c
inner join sys.tables t on c.object_id = t.object_id
where t.name = #tablename
for xml path ('')), 1, 1, '')
set #sqlstmt = 'select ' + #cols + ' from ' + #tablename
+ ' a, ' + #tablename + ' b ' + #whereclause
exec sp_executesql #sqlstmt
I did some enhancements on Sriram answer, here is the new script:
declare #tablename nvarchar(MAX),
#cols varchar(max) = '',
#sqlstmt nvarchar(max) = 'DECLARE #T AS TABLE (ColumnName NVARCHAR(MAX), Value NVARCHAR(MAX), Value2 NVARCHAR(MAX))',
#whereclause nvarchar(max) = '';
set #tablename = 'TABLE_NAME';
set #whereclause = ' where a.FIRST_ROW_ID = ''NUMBER'' and b.SECOND_ROW_ID = ''NUMBER'''
select #cols = (
select ' INSERT INTO #T SELECT ''' + c.name + ''', cast(a.' + c.name + ' as nvarchar(max)), cast(b.' + c.name + ' as nvarchar(max)) from ' + #tablename + ' a, ' + #tablename + ' b ' + #whereclause + ' AND cast(a.' + c.name + ' as nvarchar(max)) != cast(b.' + c.name + ' as nvarchar(max))'
from sys.columns c
inner join sys.tables t on c.object_id = t.object_id
where t.name = #tablename
for xml path (''))
set #sqlstmt += #cols + ' SELECT * FROM #T'
exec sp_executesql #sqlstmt
You need to replace 'TABLE_NAME' with your table and change the where clause variable.
The result will be like this:
ColumnName | Value | Value2
----------------------------
Id | 1 | 2
Name | Name 1 | Name 2
I have done further enhancement to Sriram Chitturi and Mohamed Noor's answer and also handled datetime comparison

Is there any way to search a whole SQL Server database for a text string?
By the whole database I mean tables, views, stored procedures, etc.
If by database you really mean absolutely everything including procedure source code, the easiest will likely be to generate a DB dump and to search for the string within the resulting file. This will be simpler than running all sorts of queries on the information schema.
Here is the code to search certain texts in stored proc
SELECT Distinct SO.Name
FROM sysobjects SO (NOLOCK)
INNER JOIN syscomments SC (NOLOCK) on SO.Id = SC.ID
AND SO.Type = 'P'
AND SC.Text LIKE '%test%'
ORDER BY SO.Name
I got the solution to display / search all tables, columns and SPs with a stored procedure:
CREATE PROC SearchAllTables

#SearchStr nvarchar(100)

SET #SearchStr2 = QUOTENAME('%' + #SearchStr + '%','''')
/* debug */

WHILE (#TableName IS NOT NULL) AND (#ColumnName IS NOT NULL)
BEGIN
SET #ColumnName =
(
SELECT MIN(QUOTENAME(COLUMN_NAME))
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = PARSENAME(#TableName, 2)
AND TABLE_NAME = PARSENAME(#TableName, 1)
AND QUOTENAME(COLUMN_NAME) > #ColumnName
)
IF #ColumnName IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
-- debug
print 'Searching the field: ' + #TableName + '.' + #ColumnName

END
END
END

I'm new to SQLServer scripting (normally being a C++ developer), and would really appreciate a bit of assistance.
I am attempting to perform a "find and replace" update on all tables in a SQLServer database that contain a 'PROJID' column. I am really struggling to find a way to do this that doesn't report to me:
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Invalid column name 'PROJID'.
The statement I am executing is:
EXEC
(
'IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM sys.columns WHERE name = N''PROJID'' AND Object_ID = Object_ID(N''' + #TableName + '''))' +
' BEGIN' +
' UPDATE ' + #TableName +
' SET ' + #ColumnName + ' = REPLACE(' + #ColumnName + ',''' + #ReplaceIDStr + ''',''' + #FindIDStr + ''')' +
' WHERE ' + #ColumnName + ' LIKE ''' + #ReplaceIDStr + '''' + ' AND PROJID = ''1000''' +
' END'
)
I have also tried using:
'IF COL_LENGTH(''' + #TableName + ''',''PROJID'') IS NOT NULL' +
instead of the column-exist check above. This also still gives me the "Invalid Column Name" messages.
I would be happy to take the column-exist check outside of the 'Exec' statement, but I'm not sure how to go about doing this either.
You just need to do it in a different scope.
IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM sys.columns ...)
BEGIN
DECLARE #sql NVARCHAR(MAX);
SET #sql = N'UPDATE ...';
EXEC sp_executesql #sql;
END
Output the results of this query to text. Don't forget to change the values of the variables! Take the result of this and run it.
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE #ColumnName VARCHAR(200) = 'ReplaceColumn'
, #ReplaceIdStr VARCHAR(200) = 'ExampleReplaceIdStr'
, #FindIdStr VARCHAR(200) = 'ExampleFindIdStr'
PRINT 'BEGIN TRAN'
PRINT 'SET XACT_ABORT ON'
SELECT
'UPDATE ' + C.TABLE_NAME + CHAR(13)
+ 'SET ' + #ColumnName + ' = REPLACE(' + #ColumnName + ', ''' + #ReplaceIdStr + ''', ''' + #FindIdStr + ''')' + CHAR(13)
+ 'WHERE ' + #ColumnName + ' LIKE ''%' + #ReplaceIdStr + '%'' AND PROJID = ''1000''' + CHAR(13)
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS C
WHERE C.COLUMN_NAME = 'PROJID'
PRINT 'COMMIT TRAN'
SET NOCOUNT OFF
EDIT: Also, some reasoning: You said you want update all tables where they contain a column called PROJID. Your first query just says that if the table #TableName has a PROJID column, then update #ColumnName on it. But it doesn't guarantee that it has #ColumnName on it. The query I gave doesn't check that either, because I'm assuming that all tables that have PROJID also have #ColumnName. If that isn't the case, let me know and I can update the answer to check that. That you're getting an Invalid Column Name error points to #ColumnName not existing.
Your query would have updated one table (#TableName) at most, whereas the one I gave you will update every table that has PROJID. I hope that's what your going for.
EDIT 2: Here is a version that would run it all at once:
DECLARE #ColumnName VARCHAR(200) = 'Value'
, #ReplaceIdStr VARCHAR(200) = 'ExampleReplaceIdStr'
, #FindIdStr VARCHAR(200) = 'ExampleFindIdStr'
DECLARE #Sql NVARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE UpdateCursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT
'UPDATE ' + C.TABLE_NAME
+ ' SET ' + #ColumnName + ' = REPLACE(' + #ColumnName + ', ''' + #ReplaceIdStr + ''', ''' + #FindIdStr + ''')'
+ ' WHERE ' + #ColumnName + ' LIKE ''%' + #ReplaceIdStr + '%'' AND PROJID = ''1000'''
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS C
WHERE C.COLUMN_NAME = 'PROJID'
OPEN UpdateCursor
FETCH NEXT FROM UpdateCursor

Somebody must have already written a script to delete all lines from all tables of a database.
Using DELETE command is not an option since it can takes ages on large tables.
Of course there are many examples on stackoverflow and elsewhere, but they don't work with tables using foreign keys.
Basically, the script should do this :
Store all foreign keys definition in a temporary table
delete all foreign keys
truncate all tables
restore foreign keys
I think i have it :
