Dropping multiple tables having common prefix in SQL Server 2000/2005

Hi
I used the below to drop tables having common prefix like 'GPN'
DECLARE @id varchar(255) DECLARE @dropCommand varchar(255) DECLARE tableCursor CURSOR FOR SELECT name FROM sys.tables WHERE NAME LIKE 'GPN%' OPEN tableCursor FETCH next FROM tableCursor INTO @id WHILE @@fetch_status=0 BEGIN SET @dropcommand = N'drop table ' + @id EXECUTE(@dropcommand) FETCH next FROM tableCursor INTO @id END CLOSE tableCursor DEALLOCATE tableCursor
The point is this works in SQL2005 but not in SQL2000
In SQL 2000 we get errors like
Server: Msg 137, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Must declare the variable '@dropcommand'.
Server: Msg 137, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Must declare the variable '@dropcommand'.
Tried the following as well : SELECT table_name FROM Information_Schema.TABLES WHERE table_name LIKE
but ended up with the same error.
Please let me know where i am going wrong and how i can correct it

Hi.
As far as I know SQLS2000 uses syntax:
EXEC sp_executesql @dropcommand
Isn't this a problem?

Data Import from Oracle Dump to SQL Server(2000/2005)

Hi Friends,
I'm using Oracle 10g.
I've a scenario.
I've Oracle Dump file. Now i would like import in SQL Server(2000/2005).
Can any one suggest me how to do this?
Any idea,clue will be highly appreciated.

I think you will need to import the data into SQL Server from an ASCII flat file using SQL Server DTS if avialable. You can use SQL Plus to extract the data outof Oracle into comma delimited flat files and then use SQL Server DTS load into the SQL Server database.

What is the solution for this two way replication between sql server and Oracle 10g

But the tutorial is saying that i will have to install Oracle database on the server already having sql server, is it client or whole database, if it is then it will acquire lot of resource.

I could not find steps of configuration of Transoparent gateway, when i am trying to install Transparent gateway from Universal installer, it is not there. where do i find it , Do i need to purchase it too.

Inserting data into MS SQL server 2000/2005 - JEE application

Hello everyone,
Looking at the Tutorial, roster, under ejb, it uses EntityManager and persistence to insert and access data from the, what i presume the Java DB. So i tried it with my applications. I get no errors when I insert the data. Only that it is not going into the DB, which is an external database, MS SQL server. Does this mean I can only insert and access data from the database through sql statements?
Help!
Thanks
eve

Hello everyone,
I have made progress on this. And if anyone requires more details check this website:
http://www.webagesolutions.com/knowledgebase/javakb/jkb006/index.html
Also please check your firewalls when dealing with external DB. For example, the windows firewall blocks the server from access MS server DB. So in an actual of fact, my above problem was working, only that it was probably directing data to the Java DB included in the application server 9.
The progress so far, is good. The persistence xml seems to create the Tables into the database. But it does not enter data into the database. Below is the error I get:

SQL Server 2000-2005/2008 Upgrade

I was wondering if there was anyone out there who had been using SQL Server 2000, and upgraded it to SQL 2005/2008 during a tools upgrade? We are currently on tools 8.44 and performance is bogging down at times on SQL 2000. Curious to see if and what your experiences were? Also has anyone had any success data archiving with tools 8.44?
Appreciate replies

Hi,
I have successfully done an upgrade from tools 8.44 to 8.49 (also sql server 2000 to 2005 sp3) in 2009
The performance was way better in 2005, also managing the database :).. also you wont hav to face the dreadful deadlock problem in 2005
I should say that this activity was part of an application+tools upgrade

SQL Server 2000\2005 compatibility with Active Directory 2012

Hi All,
We are currently using Active Directory 2003 and will be upgrading to AD 2012. I'm trying to determine if there is any known compatibility issues when running older versions of SQL Server (2000 and 2005) when upgrading to AD 2012. I've
read forums from when others went from AD 2003 to AD 2008 and didn't experience any issues. We have the newer versions of SQL but I'm not too concerned about these. Any advice would be greatly appreciated? Has anyone been through
this process.
Thanks,

Hi CraftsmanRobert,
Based on my understanding, you used Active Directory 2003, then it would be upgraded to Active Directory 2012. You wanted to run older versions of SQL Server (2000 and 2005) with Active Directory 2012.
Firstly, there can be a compatibility problem when run older version with Active Directory 2012. SQL Server 2005 (the release version and service packs) and earlier versions of SQL Server are not supported on Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012,
Windows 8.1, or Windows 8. For more information, please refer to this article: How to use SQL Server in Windows and Windows Server environments (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2681562/en-us).
Besides, Microsoft doesn’t provide assisted support for SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 already. Please upgrade the existing instance of SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 to a new version like SQL Server 2012. You can download SQL Server 2012 Express
from this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062.

How to drop multiple tables in SQL Workshop

Hi,
I'd like to drop multiple tables in one time but
SQL command processor returnes error message: ORA-00933.
Could you please tell me how to drop multiple tables in
one time?
My trial was follows
Drop table "table1", "table2"
Result
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
Regards,
Hideki Sakamoto

Hideki,
SQL syntax permits you to specify only one table in a DROP TABLE command.
The SQL Command Processor permits you to run one statement or PL/SQL block per submission.
So there are at least two ways you can do this. You could either upload or create a SQL script in SQL Workshop which contains your multiple statements:
drop table "table1"
drop table "table2"
or you could execute a single anonymous PL/SQL block in the SQL Command Processor, as in:
begin
execute immediate 'drop table "table1"';
execute immediate 'drop table "table2"';
end;

[SQL SERVER 2000] Generic table exporter

Hello every body.
First of all sorry for my bad english but I'm french ;-)
My internship consits into making a generic table exporter (with a table list). Export into csv files.
I have tried 2 solutions :
1 - Create a DTS with a Dynamic Properties Task. The problem is I can easily change the destination file but when I change the table source I don't know how to remap the transformations between source and destination (do you see what I mean ?). Any idea ?
2 - Use the bcp command. Very simple but how to do when tables contains the separator caracter ? for example : If a table line is "toto" | "I am , very happy" --> the csv file will look like this : toto, I am , very happy --> problem to get back the data ( to much comma ).
Does someone has a solution ?
Last point is how to export the table structure ? For the moment, using the table structure, I generate an sql query which creates a table (I write this query in a file). Isn't there any "cleaner" solution ?
Thanks in advance and have a nice day all

Answers,
1. Use ActiveX script to transform. Refer
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa933459(v=sql.80).aspx
2. Replace the pipe delimiter first with comma if it is a single column and use bcp command. Refer
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa174646(v=sql.80).aspx
3. Regarding generating script refer

Shay or other knowledgeable folks,
Is there a way to utilize the wizard for "Business Tier > ADF Business Components > Business Components from Tables" for SQL Server 2000, 2005 or 2008. I can successfully execute sql via java programmatically or import a table from SQL Server with "Business Tier > ADF Business Components > Entity Object" wizard, but the Business Components from Tables simply doesn't see any tables under any schema. Without the "Business Components from Tables", i don't get the referential constraints imported into the application and to code all those from scratch is just not as elegant. So far i have only utilized the sql server jdbc driver from Microsoft (versions, 1.1, 1.2 and 2.0). Is there an alternative client that i need to use to enable selecting tables from that "Business Components from Tables" wizard. Is this a limitation of SQL Server, the jdbc driver or the wizard itself? Did anybody else experience the same issues? I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.0.1 against SQL Server 2005 (currently)
Thanks,
Andy

Dropping multiple tables in SQL Developer 1.1.25

HI all
I am trying to drop multiple tables simultaneously from tha schema but I am unable to find any such option. My host end database in Oracle 9.2.0 and client on Win XP.
Thanks!

Hi Ankur,
Currently that's not possible. It is requested on the SQL Developer Exchange though. If you go vote there, you'll be adding more weight to the feature, so it will be implemented sooner.

How to drop multiple tables in one statement

I could used to run the below syntax to drop multiple tables in MS SQL, but it doesn't work in Oracle seems like, I am using free Oracle SQL Developer. Not a big deal but wanna know if this can be done. Thanks,

I'm not so sure in 1 select statement is it possible or not but you can try to use in this manner to see what happens ->
drop table &tab;
Enter value for tab: A
Table A Successfully dropped.
Enter value for tab: B
Table B Successfully dropped.Regards.
