I'm looking to pull a specific line from a number of table that have a field name criteria1. The problem I'm having is that when I combine the Owner and Table Name and try to call "select criteria1 from #t where linenum = 1" SQL is expecting #t to be a table. I need to know how to construct the full table name and then pass it to this query. I know I can us a programming language to access the DB but i need this to be in SQL. If someone knows of a better way of doing this that would be great too.
declare #next as varchar
declare #owner varchar
while 1=1
begin
set #next = (select top 1 o.name FROM syscolumns c inner join sysobjects o on c.id = o.id
where c.name = 'criteria1' and o.id > #next order by o.id)
if #next is null
break
else
begin
set #owner = (select top 1 u.name
FROM syscolumns c inner join
sysobjects o on c.id = o.id left join
sysusers u on o.uid=u.uid
where c.name = 'criteria1' and o.id = #next order by o.id)
declare #t as varchar
set #t = #owner+'.'+#next
select criteria1 from #t where linenum = 1
end
continue
end
You can build the entire query you want as a varchar() and then execute it with the sp_executesql stored procedure.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188001.aspx
In your case, that bit at the end becomes
declare #sql varchar(512);
set #sql = 'select criteria1 from ' + #t + ' where linenum = 1'
sp_executesql #sql
Have you considered the following construct in a stored procedure?
CASE #tablename
WHEN 'table1' THEN SELECT * FROM table1
WHEN 'table2' THEN SELECT * FROM table2
WHEN 'table3' THEN SELECT * FROM table3
WHEN 'table4' THEN SELECT * FROM table4
END
In case you're married to dynamic SQL (considered to be a bad choice for this problem space), this guide to dynamic SQL should help a lot. It helped me and I've used dynamic SQL extensively.
Thanks for all the help. This is what I ended up with.
declare cur cursor for
select u.name + '.' + o.name tname
FROM sysobject o left join
syscolumns c on c.id = o.id left join
sysusers u on o.uid=u.uid
where c.name = 'criteria1'
declare #tn as varchar(512)
open cur
fetch next from cur into #tn
create table holding_table ( val varchar(512), table_name varchar(512))
declare #sql nvarchar(1000)
while ##FETCH_STATUS = 0
begin
set #sql = 'insert into holding_table select criteria1, ''' + #tn + ''' from ' + #tn + ' where linenum = 1'
execute sp_executesql #sql
fetch next from cur into #tn
end
close cur
deallocate cur
Maybe a view can be used here?
CREATE VIEW vCriterias
AS
SELECT 'Table1' AS TableName,
linenum,
criteria1
FROM Table1
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Table2' AS TableName,
linenum,
criteria1
FROM Table2
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Table3' AS TableName,
linenum,
criteria1
FROM Table3
go
Then selection is like:
SELECT criteria1
FROM vCriterias
WHERE linenum = 3
AND TableName IN ('Table1','Table3')

I am currently asked to validate the result of a global search which to find all records containing some keywords cross whole database. To do so, I need to check all the rows in each table that have keywords. The result for this global search is ready and partially of the result looks like the one below:
table_name
column_name
keyword
cnt
Wf_Process
Name_EN
FEC
11
Wf_Process
FTABLENAME
GB
14
ICCClass
Name_EN
GB
4
What I am trying to do is using the 'like' operator to extract all the data in each table where columns containing keywords. That is, I will use query such as:
select distinct Name_EN, FTABLENAME from Wf_Process where Name_EN like '%FEC%' or FTABLENAME like '%GB%'
and
select distinct Name_EN from ICCClass where Name_EN like '%GB%'
to pull out all data I need in whole database. If I only have three records, then it is not a problem. However my result returned over thousands tables have more than 10K rows containing keywords in total. Therefore, I was trying to use a loop to do this mission but I failed.
My question therefore is, does anyone have any idea to write a loop to do the 'like' search for all the tables in one time? Or is there another way rather than loop can do this in SQL Server?
Thank you very much!
You need dynamic SQL for this. You can generate a big UNION ALL query of all the tables together.
DECLARE #sql nvarchar(max) = (
SELECT STRING_AGG(CAST('
SELECT
' + QUOTENAME(con.table_name, '''') + ' table_name,
' + QUOTENAME(con.column_name, '''') + ' column_name,
' + QUOTENAME(con.keyword, '''') + ' keyword,
COUNT(*) cnt
FROM ' + QUOTENAME(s.name) + '.' + QUOTENAME(t.name) + ' t
WHERE t.' + QUOTENAME(c.name) + ' LIKE ' + QUOTENAME('%' + con.keyword + '%', '''')
AS nvarchar(max)), '
UNION ALL')
FROM YourConditions con
JOIN sys.tables t ON t.table_name
JOIN sys.schemas s ON s.schema_id = t.schema_id
JOIN sys.columns c ON c.object_id = t.object_id
WHERE t.name = con.table_name
AND c.name = con.column_name
);
PRINT #sql; -- your friend
EXEC sp_executesql #sql;
There are more efficient ways to do this if there are many columns or keywords per table, but this should get you started.
The question looks odd, thou can be done via dynamic sql, but not as a regular solution more like a one off or POC/test.

I need to query multiple tables that contain the column name 'idClient' for a specific condition.
So far I acquire the tables that I need to query using the following query:
SELECT c.name AS 'ColumnName',
t.name AS 'TableName'
FROM sys.columns c (nolock)
JOIN sys.tables t (nolock) ON c.object_id = t.object_id
WHERE c.name LIKE '%idClient%'
ORDER BY TableName,
ColumnName;
This gives me the following result (in reality there are roughly 100 tables returned):
+------------+-----------------+
| ColumnName | TableName |
+------------+-----------------+
| idClient | tbClient |
| idClient | tbClientContact |
| idClient | tbInvoice |
+------------+-----------------+
In order for me to find all client records in each of the tables I am currently running 3 separate queries for each table name. For example:
SELECT * FROM tbClientContact (nolock)
JOIN tbClient (nolock)
ON tbClientContact.idClient = tbClient.idClient
WHERE tbClient.vcSurname = 'Smith'
Instead of running the above query 3 times for each table, is there an easier way to run the same query on all results that are returned as TableName?
GOAL: I have been tasked with - in the example above - removing any client records from a database where the client surname is 'Smith'. I am running the above SELECT query to find whether the idClient of all clients with the surname of 'Smith' will leave orphan records in tables where there is a link of 'idClient'. I am joining tbClient as the column vcSurname does not exist in any other table than tbClient.
You could try
SELECT idClient FROM tbClient WHERE vcSurname = 'Smith'
UNION ALL
SELECT idClient FROM tbClientContact WHERE vcSurname = 'Smith'
UNION ALL
SELECT idClient FROM tbInvoice WHERE vcSurname = 'Smith'
If you need more columns output, all three queries must have the same number of ouput columns and all of the same type
Edit
As others have suggested, it would be helpful to know what you are doing as the method you are attempting is never the best way of doing something. However, the cursor solution below should build a dynamic query to do what you want
DECLARE #table AS NVARCHAR(128)
DECLARE #sql AS NVARCHAR(4000)
DECLARE c CURSOR FOR
-- hey all the tables with the columns LIKE '%idClient%'
SELECT t.name AS 'TableName'
FROM sys.columns c (nolock)
JOIN sys.tables t (nolock) ON c.object_id = t.object_id
WHERE c.name LIKE '%idClient%'
ORDER BY TableName
-- loop through the results of the query line by line
OPEN c
FETCH NEXT FROM c INTO #table
WHILE ##FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
-- build the query dynamically
SET #sql =CONCAT(#sql,'SELECT idClient FROM ' + #table + ' WHERE vcSurname = ''Smith'' UNION ALL ')
FETCH NEXT FROM c INTO #table
END
-- remove last "UNION ALL" text
SET #sql = STUFF(#sql,LEN(#sql)-9,11,'')
EXEC sp_executesql #stmt = #sql
CLOSE c
DEALLOCATE c
EDIT EDIT
Just seen your edit. Does your table have foreign / primary key pairs, do the foreign keys have ON DELETE CASCADE? If so, it should just be a case of
DELETE from tbClient WHERE vcSurname = 'Smith'
For automated query:
After question Edit:
SELECT 'SELECT '+c.name+' FROM '+t.name+' T WITH(nolock)
JOIN tbClient (NOLOCK)
ON T.idClient = tbClient.idClient
WHERE vcSurname = ''Smith''
UNION ALL
'
FROM sys.columns c (nolock)
JOIN sys.tables t (nolock) ON c.object_id = t.object_id
WHERE c.name LIKE '%idClient%'
PRINT the result in text format (ctrl+T).
Copy the complete result and then remove last UNION ALL
1 Determine involved tables by querying systables (sysforeignkeys or syscolumns if you don't have FKs).
2 Manually write a comprehensive stored proc that is meant to do everything right
create proc dbo.Client_Del
#client_id int
as
begin try
if not exists(select 1 from dbo.Client c where c.id = #client_id)
raiserror("Client %d not found", 16, 1, #client_id)
begin tran
delete ct
from dbo.ClientContacts ct
where ct.client_id = #client_id
delete idt
from dbo.InvoiceDetail idt
inner join dbo.Invoice i
on i.invoice_id = idt.invoice_id
where i.client_id = #client_id
delete i
from dbo.Invoice i
where i.client_id = #client_id
delete c
from dbo.Client c
where c.client_id = #client_id
commit tran
end try
begin catch
if ##trancount > 0
rollback tran
throw
end catch
GO
3 Invoke your stored proc with an argument
declare #id int
set #id = (select c.client_id from dbo.Client c where c.LastName = 'Smith')
exec dbo.Client_Del
#client_id = #id
I am not sure on what is your need. And this post is enhanced code of #Luv. Use of this, you just run it.
declare #select nvarchar(max) = N''
set #select =
N'
declare #sql nvarchar(max) = N''''
SELECT #sql += '' UNION ALL SELECT ''+c.name+'' FROM ''+t.name+'' T WITH(nolock)
JOIN tbClient (NOLOCK)
ON T.idClient = tbClient.idClient
WHERE vcSurname = ''''Smith''''''
FROM sys.columns c (nolock)
JOIN sys.tables t (nolock) ON c.object_id = t.object_id
WHERE c.name LIKE ''%yourColumnName%''
set #sql = STUFF(#sql, 1, 10, '''')
print #sql
exec sp_executesql #sql

Using SQL Server 2008, say I have a table called testing with 80 columns and I want to find a value called foo.
I can do:
SELECT *
FROM testing
WHERE COLNAME = 'foo'
Is it possible I can query all 80 columns and return all the results where foo is contained in any of the 80 columns?
You can use in:
SELECT *
FROM testing
WHERE 'foo' in (col1, col2, col3, . . . );
First Method(Tested)
First get list of columns in string variable separated by commas and then you can search 'foo' using that variable by use of IN
Check stored procedure below which first gets columns and then searches for string:
DECLARE #TABLE_NAME VARCHAR(128)
DECLARE #SCHEMA_NAME VARCHAR(128)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Set up the name of the table here :
SET #TABLE_NAME = 'testing'
-- Set up the name of the schema here, or just leave set to 'dbo' :
SET #SCHEMA_NAME = 'dbo'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
DECLARE #vvc_ColumnName VARCHAR(128)
DECLARE #vvc_ColumnList VARCHAR(MAX)
IF #SCHEMA_NAME =''
BEGIN
PRINT 'Error : No schema defined!'
RETURN
END
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.tables T JOIN sys.schemas S
ON T.schema_id=S.schema_id
WHERE T.Name=#TABLE_NAME AND S.name=#SCHEMA_NAME)
BEGIN
PRINT 'Error : The table '''+#TABLE_NAME+''' in schema '''+
#SCHEMA_NAME+''' does not exist in this database!'
RETURN
END
DECLARE TableCursor CURSOR FAST_FORWARD FOR
SELECT CASE WHEN PATINDEX('% %',C.name) > 0
THEN '['+ C.name +']'
ELSE C.name
END
FROM sys.columns C
JOIN sys.tables T
ON C.object_id = T.object_id
JOIN sys.schemas S
ON S.schema_id = T.schema_id
WHERE T.name = #TABLE_NAME
AND S.name = #SCHEMA_NAME
ORDER BY column_id
SET #vvc_ColumnList=''
OPEN TableCursor
FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO #vvc_ColumnName
WHILE ##FETCH_STATUS=0
BEGIN
SET #vvc_ColumnList = #vvc_ColumnList + #vvc_ColumnName
-- get the details of the next column
FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO #vvc_ColumnName
-- add a comma if we are not at the end of the row
IF ##FETCH_STATUS=0
SET #vvc_ColumnList = #vvc_ColumnList + ','
END
CLOSE TableCursor
DEALLOCATE TableCursor
-- Now search for `foo`
SELECT *
FROM testing
WHERE 'foo' in (#vvc_ColumnList );
2nd Method
In sql server you can get object id of table then using that object id you can fetch columns. In that case it will be as below:
Step 1: First get Object Id of table
select * from sys.tables order by name
Step 2: Now get columns of your table and search in it:
select * from testing where 'foo' in (select name from sys.columns where object_id =1977058079)
Note: object_id is what you get fetch in first step for you relevant table
You can use in and you can get the column names dynamically and pass them to IN clause by making sql string and executing it using execute sp_executesql.
declare #sql nvarchar(2100)
declare #cols nvarchar(2000)
declare #toSearch nvarchar(200)
declare #tableName nvarchar(200)
set #tableName = 'tbltemp'
set #toSearch = '5'
set #cols =(
SELECT LEFT(column_name, LEN(column_name) - 1)
FROM (
SELECT column_name + ', '
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS where table_name = #tableName
FOR XML PATH ('')
) c (column_name )
)
set #sql = 'select * from tbltemp where '''+ #toSearch + ''' in (' + #cols + ')';
execute sp_executesql #sql
I think this is one of the best ways of doing it
SELECT * FROM sys.columns a
inner join
(
SELECT object_id
FROM sys.tables
where
type='U'--user table
and name like 'testing'
) b on a.object_id=b.object_id
WHERE a.name like '%foo%'
I took the idea from ubaid ashraf's answer, but made it actually work. Just change MyTableName here:
SELECT STUFF((
SELECT ', ' + c.name
FROM sys.columns c
JOIN sys.types AS t ON c.user_type_id=t.user_type_id
WHERE t.name != 'int' AND t.name != 'bit' AND t.name !='date' AND t.name !='datetime'
AND object_id =(SELECT object_id FROM sys.tables WHERE name='MyTableName')
FOR XML PATH('')),1,2,'')
You could tweak it to your needs and add or remove conditions from the where column (the 't.name != 'int' AND t.name != 'bit' etc. part), e.g. add 't.name != 'uniqueidentifier'' to avoid getting Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'myvalue' to data type int type of errors..
Then copy paste the result into this query (otherwise it didn't work):
SELECT * from MyTableName where 'foo' in (COPY PASTE PREVIOUS QUERY RESULT INTO HERE)
--Obtain object_id
SELECT object_id FROM sys.tables WHERE name = <your_table>
--look for desired value in specified columns using below syntax
SELECT * FROM <your_table> WHERE <VALUE_YOU_SEARCH_FOR> in
(SELECT name FROM sys.tables WHERE object_id = <your_table_object_id>
and name like '<if_you_have_multiple_columns_with_same_name_pattern>')
I've worked with BornToCode's answer and this script generates the queries to find a value in all columns of type varchar for any view (can be table) of the database:
DECLARE #id INT
declare #name nvarchar(30)
DECLARE #getid CURSOR
declare #value nvarchar(30)
set #value = 'x'
SET #getid = CURSOR FOR
SELECT object_id,name
FROM sys.views
OPEN #getid
FETCH NEXT
FROM #getid INTO #id, #name
WHILE ##FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
---------
SELECT 'SELECT * from ' + #name + ' where ''' + #value + ''' in (' +
STUFF((
SELECT ', ' + c.name
FROM sys.columns c
JOIN sys.types AS t ON c.user_type_id=t.user_type_id
WHERE t.name = 'varchar'-- AND t.name != 'bit' AND t.name !='date' AND t.name !='datetime'
AND object_id =(SELECT object_id FROM sys.views WHERE name=#name)
FOR XML PATH('')),1,2,'')
+ ')' as 'query'
------
FETCH NEXT
FROM #getid INTO #id, #name
END
CLOSE #getid
DEALLOCATE #getid
I have a select statement I want to make. I want to select
SELECT COLUMN_NAME AS FieldName FROM
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'table1'
However I want to create another column named Value which is a particular row in table1
so I have rows of the column name and the corresponding single value. Any thoughts on how to approach this?
The following query produces a value (the minimum) for each column:
SELECT '''select '+COLUMN_NAME+''' AS FieldName, (select cast(MIN('+COLUMN_NAME+') as varchar(8000)) from '+const.tablename+')'
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS c cross join
(select 'AllCurveNames' as tablename) const
WHERE c.TABLE_NAME = const.tablename
However, this produces a separate query for each row. To combine them together, you need a string aggregate concatenation. This is how you would do it in SQL Server:
declare #sql varchar(max);
SELECT #sql = (select 'select '''+COLUMN_NAME+''' AS FieldName, (select cast(MIN('+COLUMN_NAME+') as varchar(8000)) from '+const.tablename + ') union all '
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS c cross join
(select WHATEVER as tablename) const
WHERE c.TABLE_NAME = const.tablename
for xml path('')
);
select #sql = LEFT(#sql, len(#sql) - 9);
exec(#sql);
Use a cross join, which is implicit if you just select from two tables with no join (i.e., from t1, t2):
SELECT COLUMN_NAME AS FieldName,
Table1.MyField
FROM
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS, Table1
WHERE
TABLE_NAME = 'table1'
AND
MyTable.ID = 123
I actually came up with a bit of a crazy solution but it works:
declare #tbl_name as varchar(255)
declare #field as varchar(255)
declare #val as varchar(255)
declare #SQL as nvarchar(4000)
create table #tbl ( [FieldName][varchar](255), [FieldVal][varchar](255))
set #tbl_name = 'table1'
DECLARE mah_cursor CURSOR FAST_FORWARD
FOR
SELECT COLUMN_NAME FROM
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME = #tbl_name
OPEN mah_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM mah_cursor INTO #field
WHILE ##FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
set #SQL = 'set #val = (Select top 1 ' + #field + ' from ' + #tbl_name + ')'
print #SQL
exec sp_executesql #query = #SQL, #params = N'#val varchar(255) OUTPUT', #val = #val OUTPUT
insert into #tbl ([FieldName],[FieldVal] ) values (#field, #val)
FETCH NEXT FROM mah_cursor INTO #field
END
CLOSE mah_cursor
DEALLOCATE mah_cursor
select * from #tbl
drop table #tbl
It loops through each value and adds it. The Fast_Forward feature optimizes the query for high performance
I have been trying to find out total count of rows in each tables which are de-activated.
In my DB I have 20 tables with column IsActive.
I have tried below cursor,however it is getting error saying Invalid object name #Namee.
Create table #t
(
NoOfRows bigint,
)
Declare #Namee Varchar(500)
Declare #GetName Cursor
Set #Getname = Cursor for
Select table_name from information_Schema.columns
where column_name='isactive'Open #Getname
Fetch Next From #Getname into #Namee
While ##Fetch_Status=0
Begin
insert into #t Select count(*) from #Namee where isactive=0
Fetch Next From #Getname into #Namee
End
Close #GetName
Deallocate #GetName
select * from #t
Try this:
exec sp_msforeachtable '
if exists(
select * from sys.tables as t
join sys.columns as c on t.object_id = c.object_id
where t.name = ''?'' and c.name = ''IsActive'')
select count(*)
from [?]
where isactive=0'
Based on your example query, this should work. It will also be much faster than using the cursor
select
OBJECT_NAME(c.object_id) as table_name
, p.row_count
from sys.columns c
join sys.dm_db_partition_stats p
on c.object_id = p.object_id
and p.index_id < 2
where c.name = 'IsActive'
While I haven't tested them, I would go with either Mike's or Denis's answer.
However, the problem here is the line:
insert into #t Select count(*) from #Namee where isactive=0
you are using #Namee like it is a table, but it is really a string with a table name. You would have to build the SQL dynamically and then exec it:
exec 'insert into #t select count(*) from ' + #Namee + ' where isactive=0'
Replace
insert into #t Select count(*) from #Namee where isactive=0
with
exec ('insert into #t Select count(*) from ' + #Namee + ' where isactive=0')
