Question: I can get the SQL Server database language by querying:
SELECT ##language
And I can get further info via
EXEC sp_helplanguage
How can I query for a column of sp_helplanguage where name= ##language
I do SELECT * FROM sp_helplanguage WHERE name='DEUTSCH'
but that obviously doesn't work.
What's the correct way to query it ?
You need to query the underlying system catalog table directlry:
SELECT * FROM sys.syslanguages WHERE name='DEUTSCH'

I have a SQL Server in Spain and one in the US and there is a domain trust between the two with linked servers on each for access to the other.
I would like to be able to run the below query on the US SQL Server without having to maintain a stored proc on the US Server in order to run it. Is there a way to create a passthrough query from the SQL Server in Spain? I've already tried using OPENQUERY and OPENROWSET and it's just not working as they only seem to work with select statements that return results:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS [Global].[dbo].[WW_Customer_Receivables]
SELECT *
INTO [global].[dbo].[ww_customer_receivables]
FROM
[LinkedServerObject-Spain].[global].dbo.ww_customer_receivables
If you want to execute DDL statement on your linked server with openquery you can with the following trick:
SELECT *
FROM OPENQUERY(linkedserver, '
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS [Global].[dbo].[WW_Customer_Receivables]
SELECT ##RowCount')
The SELECT ##RowCount returns a result set. So OPENQUERY works.
This trick works for all DDL operations like create, alter, drop. Or if you want to perform inserts/updates/deletes that don't return a result set.
Same trick is applied here Where they have a dummy select foobar.
If you want to execute the into statement from the openquery you can do it like this:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS [Global].[dbo].[WW_Customer_Receivables]
SELECT *
INTO [global].[dbo].[ww_customer_receivables]
FROM OPENQUERY([LinkerServerObject-US], '
SELECT *
FROM [global].dbo.ww_customer_receivables')
I am writing a performance/system monitoring tool to augment load testing for my team's product and I am trying to store database system information with the results bundle but do not know how to write the query to capture this in Oracle (I'm a developer not a DBA).
I have this all working the way I want for SQL Server, but I need to do the same for Oracle. Below is a query I found online for this is SQL Server:
SELECT CONVERT(varchar(128),SERVERPROPERTY('ComputerNamePhysicalNetBIOS')) AS 'computerNamePhysicalNetBIOS',
CONVERT(varchar(128),SERVERPROPERTY('MachineName')) AS 'machineName',
CONVERT(varchar(128),SERVERPROPERTY('Edition')) AS 'edition',
CONVERT(varchar(128),SERVERPROPERTY('ProductLevel')) AS 'productLevel',
CONVERT(varchar(128),SERVERPROPERTY('ProductVersion')) AS 'productVersion',
CONVERT(varchar(128),SERVERPROPERTY('BuildClrVersion')) AS 'buildClrVersion',
CONVERT(INT,SERVERPROPERTY('ProcessID')) AS 'processID',
CONVERT(INT,SERVERPROPERTY('EngineEdition')) AS 'engineEdition',
CONVERT(INT,SERVERPROPERTY('HadrManagerStatus')) AS 'hadrManagerStatus',
CONVERT(INT,SERVERPROPERTY('IsHadrEnabled')) AS 'hadrEnabled',
CONVERT(INT,SERVERPROPERTY('IsAdvancedAnalyticsInstalled')) AS 'advancedAnalyticsInstalled',
CONVERT(INT,SERVERPROPERTY('IsClustered')) AS 'clustered',
CONVERT(INT,SERVERPROPERTY('IsPolybaseInstalled')) AS 'polybaseInstalled',
CONVERT(INT,SERVERPROPERTY('IsXTPSupported')) AS 'xtpSupported',
CONVERT(INT,SERVERPROPERTY('LCID')) AS 'lcid',
CONVERT(varchar(128),SERVERPROPERTY('ResourceVersion')) AS 'resourceVersion',
CONVERT(varchar(128),SERVERPROPERTY('ServerName')) AS 'serverName',
CONVERT(varchar(128),APP_NAME() )AS 'appName',
CONVERT(INT,DB_ID()) AS 'dbId',
CONVERT(varchar(128),DB_NAME()) AS 'dbName'
I don't really expect a one-to-one column match between the above query and Oracle's version, but in general, how can I get very similar information from Oracle?

Most of that stuff, if it exists at all in the Oracle database, will be accessible through V$ views in the Oracle database. To get you started, here are some that are going to be most relevant to answering your question:
select * from v$instance;
select * from v$version;
select * from v$sql_feature;
select * from v$license;
select * from v$option;
If you want to get a complete list of V$ views to look around better,
select * from dict where table_name like 'V$%';
Some of those things are specific to MSSQL and have no meaning in Oracle. But you can get many of them with sys_context() using the userenv namespace.
For instance, to get the database name:
select sys_context('userenv', 'DB_NAME') as db_name
from dual;
Many times a day I have to write similar queries to get single record:
select t.*
from some_table t
where t.Id = 123456
maybe there is some shortcuts for retrieving single record? Like entering id, table and SQL server generates rest code automatically
In Sql Server Go to
Tools-> Options-> Environments->Keyboard
You will get shortcuts, there you can define your own as well as get the standards.
you can set a short cut for a fully executable query like
select * from table where id =20
but not like below
select * from
How can I find a table in SQL Server 2016?
I could use this to find the table in the current database:
SELECT *
FROM sys.Tables
WHERE name LIKE '%App_Current_Seq_Num%'
The problem is, I have several databases on the server.
Please try with the below sql query.
select * from [YourDatabaseName].INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES where TABLE_NAME LIKE '%App_Current_Seq_Num%'
sp_tables , sys.tables , information_schema.tables will only give you the list of tables from current selected database. Use the below undocumented stored procedure to run this code for each database, with each resultset showing the list of tables belonging to it.
sp_MSforeachdb 'SELECT "?" AS DB, * FROM [?].sys.tables WHERE name like ''%App_Current_Seq_Num%'''
Another option is to use dynamic SQL .
You can either do
use your_database_name
SELECT *
FROM sys.Tables
WHERE name LIKE '%App_Current_Seq_Num%'
or
SELECT *
FROM your_database_name.sys.Tables
WHERE name LIKE '%App_Current_Seq_Num%'
or if you want to search multiple databases at once use a union all clause.
Something like this:
SELECT * FROM database1.sys.Tables
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM database2.sys.Tables
I used this and it worked perfectly:
USE Master
GO
EXEC sp_MSforeachdb
#command1='use ?; SELECT *
FROM sys.tables
WHERE name LIKE ''%App_Current_Seq_Num%'''
you can use SQL Search
it is a simple search control that you can use in sql server
to find tables/views/stored procedures and etc...

I have a server called GreatPlains and I would like to create a new table (not already defined) using the INSERT INTO clause onto my local server's reporting database. We have a linked server set up for the GreatPlains server and our main production server.
Simplified version of current query:
SELECT *
INTO [local].[Reporting].[dbo].[NewTable]
FROM [linked].[Main].[dbo].[Orders]
I'm also getting the error:
The object name 'local.Reporting.dbo.NewTable' contains more than the
maximum number of prefixes. The maximum is 2.
There are two mistakes in your query
1.INTO clause support maximum of 2 prefixes. You cannot include SERVER NAME
DATABASE_NAME.SCHEMA_NAME.TABLE_NAME
2.Unwanted INSERT ketword
So your query should be
SELECT *
INTO [Reporting].[dbo].[NewTable]
FROM [linked].[Main].[dbo].[Orders];
I think you have an extra insert:
SELECT *
INTO [local].[Reporting].[dbo].[NewTable]
FROM [linked].[Main].[dbo].[Orders];
If the table is already defined and has the same columns in the same order, then you can do:
INSERT INTO [local].[Reporting].[dbo].[NewTable]
SELECT *
FROM [linked].[Main].[dbo].[Orders];
If you are running the script in your local server and table already exists in the database,Use the below script.
USE [Reporting]
GO
INSERT INTO [dbo].[NewTable]
SELECT *
FROM [linked].[Main].[dbo].[Orders]
If you don't have the table in your database,use the below script.
USE [Reporting]
GO
SELECT *
INTO dbo.[NewTable]
FROM [linked].[Main].[dbo].[Orders]
