Workbench is including a table that was already deleted - sql

For some reason workbench is including a table on the output script which i removed long time ago.
As result, when running the script it identifies the following error.
I know that removing it from the script solves my problem but i can't figure out were the hell workbench is getting that table.
Executing SQL script in server

Nothing to fetch

I know it's an old question but I ran into this problem also and maybe it could help all the other that will have this problem.
As you said you only REMOVED the table from the EER diagram and not DELETED it.
In order to fully delete this table look at the left side pane
under "catalog" you can see all of the tables you ever created including the ones you removed, The not bolded tables are the ones which you only removed.
The only way to delete them is to DRAG them back to the table sketch view section and then right click to delete.
Now when you'll output the script you won't see those old tables any more.

Copy all columns without data but with dependencies in SQL [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
In SQL Server, how do I generate a CREATE TABLE statement for a given table?
(16 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
So i'm trying to copy all data of table CarOrders into a new table, NewCarOrders. But i only want to copy columns and dependencies and not data. I don't know if it truly matters, but i'm using SQL Server Management Studio.
Here are two things that i tried, but none worked.
SELECT *
INTO NewCarOrders
FROM CarOrders
WHERE 0 = 1
The issue with above is, it is copying all the columns but it is not copying the dependencies/relationships.
I saw some posts on some of the forums regarding this, but the suggested solution was using SSMS Wizard. I want to do it using SQL (or T-SQL).
I'm new to SQL world, so i'm really sorry if it is a stupid or no brainer question. Let me know if i am missing some important information, i'll update it.
Try below query and check if this works for you
SELECT TOP 0 *
INTO NewCarOrders
FROM CarOrders
This will create NewCarOrders table with same structure as CarOrders table and no rows in NewCarOrders.
SELECT * FROM NewCarOrders -- Returns zero rows
Note : This will not copy constraints , only structure is copied.
For constraints do as below -
In SSMS right click on the table CarOrders, Script Table As > Create To > New Query Window.
Change the name in the generated script to NewCarOrders and execute.
Also change the constraints name in the generated script else it will throw error like There is already an object named 'xyz' in the database
You can use the like command:
CREATE TABLE NewCarOrders LIKE CarOrders;

SQL INSERT sp_cursor Error

I have a pair of linked SQL servers: ServerA and ServerB. I want to write a simple INSERT INTO SELECT statement which will copy a row from ServerA's database to ServerB's database. ServerB's database was copied directly from ServerA's, and so they should have the exact same basic structure (same column names, etc.)
The problem is that when I try to execute the following statement:
INSERT INTO [ServerB].[data_collection].[dbo].[table1]
SELECT * FROM [ServerA].[data_collection].[dbo].[table1]
I get the following error:
Msg 16902, Level 16, State 48, Line 1
sp_cursor: The value of the parameter 'value' is invalid.
On the other hand, if I try to execute the following statement:
INSERT INTO [ServerB].[data_collection].[dbo].[table1] (Time)
SELECT Time FROM [ServerA].[data_collection].[dbo].[table1]
The statement works just fine, and the code is executed as expected. The above statement executes just fine, regardless of which or how many tables I specify to insert.
So my question here is why would my INSERT INTO SELECT statement function properly when I explicitly specify which columns to copy, but not when I tell it to copy everything using "*"? My second question would then be: how do I fix the problem?
Googling around to follow up on my initial hunch, I found a source I consider reliable enough to cite in an answer.
The 'value' parameter specified isn't one of your columns, it is the optional argument to sp_cursor that is called implicitly via your INSERT INTO...SELECT.
From SQL Server Central...
I have an ssis package that needs to populate a sql table with data
from a pipe-delimited text file containing 992 (!) columns per record.
...Initially I'd set up the package to contain a data flow task to use
an ole db destination control where the access mode was set to Table
or view mode. For some reason though, when running the package it
would crash, with an error stating the parameter 'value' was not valid
in the sp_cursor procedure. On setting up a trace in profiler to see
what this control actually does it appears it tries to insert the
records using the sp_cursor procedure. Running the same query in SQL
Server Management Studio gives the same result. After much testing and
pulling of hair out, I've found that by replacing the sp_cursor
statement with an insert statement the record populated fine which
suggests that sp_cursor cannot cope when more than a certain number
of parameters are attempted. Not sure of the figure.
Note the common theme here between your situation and the one cited - a bazillion columns.
That same source offers a workaround as well.
I've managed to get round this problem however by setting the access
mode to be "Table or view - fast load". Viewing the trace again
confirms that SSIS attempts this via a "insert bulk" statement which
loads fine.

Syntax error on executing a script in Sybase database

I created a Sybase database emp_details using SQL Anywhere and Sybase Central. I had given emp/emp as dba username/password while creating.
The db got created and the files were generated in the given folder.
When I tried running the below script using Ineractive SQL:
use master
go
if exists (select 1 from master..sysdatabases where name='emp_details')
checkpoint emp_details
go
It threw the following exception
Could not execute statement.
Syntax error near 'checkpoint' on line 2
SQLCODE=-131, ODBC 3 State="42000"
Line 4, column 1
Haven't been able to figure out what exactly the syntax issue is and have been stuck up with this for a while.
Any ideas?
First of all, you may want to think about posting your SQL Anywhere questions to the http://sqlanywhere-forum.sap.com/ forum. It's a forum dedicated to the SQL Anywhere product line.
Is there any possibility that the two periods together might be causing your syntax issue?
Normally you're not going to get an exact area where the error is coming from. See if that helps. Also check out the other forum as well.

CONTAINS doesn't work with Oracle Text

I am having an issue executing this query.
SELECT * FROM gob_attachment
WHERE CONTAINS (gob_a_document, 'java') > 0
It's giving me
ORA-29902: error in executing ODCIIndexStart() routine
ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
29902. 00000 - "error in executing ODCIIndexStart() routine"
*Cause: The execution of ODCIIndexStart routine caused an error.
*Action: Examine the error messages produced by the indextype code and
take appropriate action.
After some googling I've disovered that problem could be in index, but when I looked at the table and index they seemed ok to me.
Create script for index is looking like this
CREATE INDEX FTSI_GOB_A_DOCUMENT
ON GOB_ATTACHMENT (GOB_A_DOCUMENT)
INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT;
Only thing which is strange to me is that when I look to Edit Table in Table properties in SQL Developer I can see that Operational Status of index is FAILED. Does anyone know what does it mean?Maybe DB rights?
Also it's working when I use
dbms_lob.instr(gob_a_document, utl_raw.cast_to_raw('java')) > 0
instead of contains
Thanks for any advice
P.S. It's related to my previous question Oracle DBMS_LOB.INSTR and CONTAINS performance
UPDATE
After recreating the index and some playing around, I've disovered that I can execute the query above, but it won't return me anything.
If I try it with CONTAINS(gob_a_document, '%'), the result is 26 rows and don't know by which key the query selected them(at least I didn't find anything obvious, I'll investigate it more). Problem could be in that we are using Oracle 10g and storing DOCX files which are supported from version 11.
"Operational Status of index is FAILED"
Okay, this means your CREATE INDEX statement failed. Did you get an error message? I guess the answer is yes but you missed it. So what you need to do is:
drop the index
re-run the CREATE INDEX statement
if it throws an error, make a note of the reason and fix it
In case it's not obvious, the other statement runs because it's not attempting to use your CONTEXT index. It's doing the search the hard way.
"The thing was that the index was already created in DB,"
No the real thing was the index failed to create properly, hence its status. You could just have rebuilt the index, but it is usually better to fix the underlying cause of failure first. That's why I advised you to drop and recreate. Obviously the original failure was due to some ambient condition which no longer applies.
"Now the query is executed, but it's not giving me any results(0 rows
returned). (and I am sure that it should return like 100 rows) "
So that sounds like you are storing documents in a binary format. What sort of documents? Are they in a supported format? That will depend upon which version of Oracle you're using. For instance, Oracle Text 10g supports up t Word 2003 (i.e. DOC only) whereas Oracle Text 11g supports Word 2007 (i.e. DOCX as well).

SQL Server reports 'Invalid column name', but the column is present and the query works through management studio

I've hit a bit of an impasse. I have a query that is generated by some C# code. The query works fine in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio when run against the same database.
However when my code tries to run the same query I get the same error about an invalid column and an exception is thrown. All queries that reference this column are failing.
The column in question was recently added to the database. It is a date column called Incident_Begin_Time_ts .
An example that fails is:
select * from PerfDiag
where Incident_Begin_Time_ts > '2010-01-01 00:00:00';
Other queries like Select MAX(Incident_Being_Time_ts); also fail when run in code because it thinks the column is missing.
Any ideas?
Just press Ctrl + Shift + R and see...
In SQL Server Management Studio, Ctrl+Shift+R refreshes the local cache.
I suspect that you have two tables with the same name. One is owned by the schema 'dbo' (dbo.PerfDiag), and the other is owned by the default schema of the account used to connect to SQL Server (something like userid.PerfDiag).
When you have an unqualified reference to a schema object (such as a table) — one not qualified by schema name — the object reference must be resolved. Name resolution occurs by searching in the following sequence for an object of the appropriate type (table) with the specified name. The name resolves to the first match:
Under the default schema of the user.
Under the schema 'dbo'.
The unqualified reference is bound to the first match in the above sequence.
As a general recommended practice, one should always qualify references to schema objects, for performance reasons:
An unqualified reference may invalidate a cached execution plan for the stored procedure or query, since the schema to which the reference was bound may change depending on the credentials executing the stored procedure or query. This results in recompilation of the query/stored procedure, a performance hit. Recompilations cause compile locks to be taken out, blocking others from accessing the needed resource(s).
Name resolution slows down query execution as two probes must be made to resolve to the likely version of the object (that owned by 'dbo'). This is the usual case. The only time a single probe will resolve the name is if the current user owns an object of the specified name and type.
[Edited to further note]
The other possibilities are (in no particular order):
You aren't connected to the database you think you are.
You aren't connected to the SQL Server instance you think you are.
Double check your connect strings and ensure that they explicitly specify the SQL Server instance name and the database name.
In my case I restart Microsoft SQL Sever Management Studio and this works well for me.
If you are running this inside a transaction and a SQL statement before this drops/alters the table you can also get this message.
I eventually shut-down and restarted Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio; and that fixed it for me. But at other times, just starting a new query window was enough.
If you are using variables with the same name as your column, it could be that you forgot the '#' variable marker. In an INSERT statement it will be detected as a column.
Just had the exact same problem. I renamed some aliased columns in a temporary table which is further used by another part of the same code. For some reason, this was not captured by SQL Server Management Studio and it complained about invalid column names.
What I simply did is create a new query, copy paste the SQL code from the old query to this new query and run it again. This seemed to refresh the environment correctly.
In my case I was trying to get the value from wrong ResultSet when querying multiple SQL statements.
In my case it seems the problem was a weird caching problem. The solutions above didn't work.
If your code was working fine and you added a column to one of your tables and it gives the 'invalid column name' error, and the solutions above doesn't work, try this: First run only the section of code for creating that modified table and then run the whole code.
Including this answer because this was the top result for "invalid column name sql" on google and I didn't see this answer here. In my case, I was getting Invalid Column Name, Id1 because I had used the wrong id in my .HasForeignKey statement in my Entity Framework C# code. Once I changed it to match the .HasOne() object's id, the error was gone.
I've gotten this error when running a scalar function using a table value, but the Select statement in my scalar function RETURN clause was missing the "FROM table" portion. :facepalms:
Also happens when you forget to change the ConnectionString and ask a table that has no idea about the changes you're making locally.
I had this problem with a View, but the exact same SQL code worked perfectly as a query. In fact SSMS actually threw up a couple of other problems with the View, that it did not have with the query. I tried refreshing, closing the connection to the server and going back in, and renaming columns - nothing worked. Instead I created the query as a stored procedure, and connected Excel to that rather than the View, and this solved the problem.
