Column information in SQL

Dear Friends,
I want to know at runtime what is the total number of columns selected in a SELECT query as well as their names?
Please let me know if there is any method at all to accomplish this.
Thanks!
Yours truly,
Pankaj Dwivedi.

Is there an Oracle version involved in this question?
Why do you care? What are you going to do with this information if you have it?
The question generates more questions than answers without knowing more about what you are trying to do.

Error at Data Flow Task [OLE DB Source [1]]: No column information was returned by the SQL command." error

I have an .XLSX File that I am trying to Upload into SQL Server. I use the Source as OLEDB Connection manager and pick OLDEB PROVIDER as MS OFFICE 12.0 ACCESS DATABASE ENGINE. In that I put this query but it gives the foll
error when I run the SSIS Package.
[OLE DB Source [1]] Error: No column information was returned by the SQL command.
Query I use in DATA FLOW TASK , IS SQL COMMAND:
Select top 1 [Investor #],[Investor Name], CONVERT (VARCHAR(1000),Delegation)AS DELEGATION ,[Date Added],[Date Revised] from [EXCELSHEET1$]
Any suggestion to fix this error? i have to do a convert since the excel datayype is DT_TEXT AND SQL TABLE DATATYPE is VARCHAR(1000) SO Have to do this Convert.

If the target table's column is not a BLOB/CLOB (e.g. NVARCHAR(MAX)) and you have text longer than the max value it will not fit into the target, if you are allowed you need to trim it and convert, otherwise sure you get the error as the target datatype
is smaller.

Error: unable to retrieve column information from the data source

Hi,
I am trying to set up a data flow task. The source is "SQL Command" which is
a stored procedure. The proc has a few temp tables that it outputs the final
resultset from. When I hit preview in the ole db source editor, I see the
right output. When I select the "Columns" tab on the right, the "Available
External Column List" is empty. Why don't the column names appear? What is
the work around to get the column mappings to work b/w source and
destination in this scenario.
In DTS previously, you could "fool" the package by first compiling the
stored procedure with hardcoded column names and dummy values, creating and
saving the package and finally changing the procedure back to the actual
output. As long as the columns remained the same, all would work.
Thats not working for me in SSIS.
Thanks in advance.
Asim.

I had a similar problem retrieving column information when calling a stored procedure which returned a table declared as a variable within the procedure. I used "Command SQL" as data access within the OLE DB Source Editor, and "exec <sproc_name> <param_list>" as text for the SQL command.
After a few trials and errors, I noticed when I removed the IF statement that validated the parameter passed to the sproc it worked, i.e. SSIS could retrieve the column information, otherwise it wouldn't. Is it because of the IF, the BEGIN/END, or the RETURN? I do not know as I did not test further, but by removing the entire instruction block pasted below, it worked. Hope that it helps.
    if @Reel_Ou_Budgete not in ('B', 'R')
    begin
        print 'Le paramètre de cette procédure stockée doit être B ou R.'
        return -1
    end

HELP! Is there a way to change column information in iTunes such as name of artist, genre etc, other than deleting them one at a time? Such as the way you delete an entire group of songs by holding down control keys or selecting the Select All command.

HELP! Is there a way to change column information in iTunes such as name of artist, genre etc, other than deleting them one at a time? Such as the way you delete an entire group of songs by holding down control keys or selecting the Select All command. Thanks.

If you select all the songs you want to change, Be it one song or an akbum, or an Artist, Or Genre, or playlist. Then Right mouse click and Get Info. You then get a slightly different from normal Get Info box as this is the One for Multiple items.
In there have a look at the tags and see if the one you want to changes is in there. There are a few tabs so if for example you wanted to change the Media Type from Home Movie to Movie go to the Options tab and select Movie and OK and it will change the whole selection.

Hi,
“All but one database are upgradable. However, one database gives:
Invalid object name 'Webs'.”
Did the sentence you mean only one database not upgrade to SharePoint 2013 and given the error?
One or more of the following might be the cause:
Insufficient SQL Server database permissions
SQL Server database is full
Incorrect MDAC version
SQL Server database not found
Incorrect version of SQL Server
SQL Server collation is not supported
Database is read-only
To resolve the issue, you can refer to the following article which contains the causes and resolutions.

How to show information from sql to flash cs6 in textbox

I am having trouble with the showing of result of the information from sql to flash cs6 textbox which is dynamic text.
I am using php to transfer the data to flash.
I will like to show me the information in order like
Name      score
Tom        20
Jack       10
I already try reqVar.name + " " + reqVar.score and it does not work.
And there is also 6 data in the sql to be formated like the top.
function loginFunction(evt:MouseEvent):void
var variables:URLVariables;
var req:URLRequest;
var loader:URLLoader;
if (usertxt.text == "")
resTxt.text = "Please enter your username.";
return;
if (passtxt.text == "")
resTxt.text = "Please enter your password.";
return;
variables = new URLVariables();
variables.username = usertxt.text;
variables.password = MD5.hash(passtxt.text);
req = new URLRequest("http://localhost:8088/classP/checkLogin.php");
req.data = variables;
req.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
            loader = new URLLoader();
     loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,handleRes);
loader.load(req);
function handleRes(evt:Event):void
var loader:URLLoader;
var reqVar:URLVariables;
loader = URLLoader(evt.target);
reqVar = new URLVariables(loader.data);
if (reqVar.result == "PASS")
gotoAndStop(10);
var req:URLRequest;
req = new URLRequest("http://localhost:8088/classP/getScores.php");
req.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
            loader = new URLLoader();
     loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,handleRes3);
loader.load(req);
else
{resTxt.text = "Login Failed";}
function handleRes3(evt:Event):void //to show the output message when it is correct in user and pass
var loader:URLLoader;
var reqVar:URLVariables;
loader = URLLoader(evt.target);
reqVar = new URLVariables(loader.data);
displaytxt.text = reqVar.name + " " + reqVar.score;

1.ckeck your syntax: the last two closing brackets are coming out of nowhere.
2.use trace commands in your eventhandlers to show if you get any results and if not use them as a hint where the error lies.
for example:
reqVar = new URLVariables(loader.data);
trace("reqVar:"+reqVar);

Apex 4.0 display image item :BLOB column returned by SQL statement

Hello
I'm creating an display image item in apex 4.0. The source is a BLOB column returned by SQL statement.
When I'm issuing an sql statement like this:
   select lado.blob_content
   from   large_documents      lado
   ,        large_doc_headers    ladh
   where lado.ladh_nr = ladh.nr
   more criteriait works fine.
When I create a function inside a package with the same query (in a cursor)
function get_image(some parameters in) return blob
Following in apex by:
select get_image(some parameters) from dualI get a
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too smallAnybody any idea why this does not work?
Regards Erik

Hi Eric,
the environment assumes varchar2-output by default, which will be limited to 32767 characters and may have problems with binary formats. You could define a blob-variable to select the value into.
DECLARE
l_blob BLOB;
BEGIN
SELECT get_image(some parameters)
    INTO l_blob
    FROM dual;
END;
/If you expect the BLOB-Content to be text (you should consider CLOB then), you may use UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2 to convert the content. If your object is larger than the maximum varchar2 size, or you want to convert BLOB to CLOB, you might be interested in some converter like described here: {message:id=559749}
Hope this is what you were searching for.

Hi,
if it was executing fine earlier then check the below
1. user permissions level at the database..whether it has access to the required SP or not..
2. Check if there was any change in the SP..which has not been communicated...

What is LAST_ACTIVE_TIME column in v$sql view

Hi,
I am using Oracle 10.2.0.3 version.
I have a doubt in v$sql view.
What is the meaning of LAST_ACTIVE_TIME column in v$sql view?
I presume it is the latest time when this SQL was executed in the database. M I right?
As per Oracle docs it's definition is as below.
LASTACTIVE_TIME - Time at which the query plan was last active ._
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
oratest

Dear oratest,
Please see the following link;
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/dynviews_2113.htm#REFRN30246
+"+
+LAST_ACTIVE_TIME+
+DATE+
+Time at which the query plan was last active+
+"+
That is the time that the "query plan" active period. I think this could be as what you have said.
Regards.

SQL database login for 'SharePoint_Config_2010' on instance 'DB server' failed. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below.

we formatted Database server and restored all the databases from the backup. but the sharepoint site is giving below error when i access the home page.
we have 3 application servers in that two are working fine, but only one server getting the below error.
SQL database login for 'SharePoint_Config_2010' on instance 'db server' failed. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below.
Login failed for user 'domain\user'.
could you help what is the issue?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to access sharepoint site with one application server.
It was due to the MOM/SCOM Agent that has a SharePoint management pack installed, the agents Windows Service runs as ‘Local System’ and thus causes this.
The workaround is to either kill the SCOM agent service, or set it to run as a dedicated service account.
In addtion, I recommend to add the logon account of the SharePoint Timer service as a user of the SharePoint_Config database. Give role membership to the account db_owner.
You also need to add the SharePoint accounts back into sql server.
There are some similar articles for you to take a look at:
