Using Microsoft SQL 2000, I will like to join multiples tables (A, B, C, and D) together. I know table A always exists. However, I only know at least one of the table form (B, C, D) exists. Is there any way I could do something like this to accomplish what I am trying to do? Select * form table a If table b exists left Join table b on a.id = b.id If table c exists left Join table c on a.id = c.id If table d exists left Join table d on a.id = d.id You'll have to check the data dictionary views for that and use dynamic SQL declare @myquery varchar(1000) set @myquery = 'Select * from a ' if

I have a very simple INSERT statement being executed from a PHP script running on a Linux Apache web server. I can run the query fine from within SQL Management Studio and it normally runs fine from PHP as well. However, every once in awhile I get an error message from my PHP script that the query failed and the mssql_get_last_message() function returns 'The statement has been terminated'. What sources can cause this message to be returned from SQL Server? You have found one of the most annoying parts of SQL Server. There are situations where an error can be raised, and SQL will generated two

The OUTPUT clause is compatible with SQL Server 2005 but not SQL Server 2000. How do I convert this command to work in SQL Server 2000? CREATE TABLE sample ( ID uniqueidentifier NOT NULL DEFAULT newid(), Title varchar(30) NOT NULL ) INSERT INTO sample (Title) OUTPUT INSERTED.ID VALUES ('Test1') I need the command to retrieve the ID since the INSERT command needs to be called from a stored procedure. Thanks for any help! DECLARE @uid uniqueidentifier SET @uid = newid() INSERT INTO sample (ID, Title) VALUES (@uid,'Test1') SELECT @uid AS ID 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5863168/get-last

At work we have two servers, one is running an application a lot of people use which has an SQL Server 2000 back end. I have been free to query this for a long time but can't add anything to it such as stored procedures or extra tables. This has lead to us having a second SQL Server linked to the first one and me building up a library of stored procedures that query data from both sides using linked server. Some of these queries are taking longer than what I would like. Can someone point me to some good articles about using linked servers? I am particularly interested in finding out what data

I need to export some data using SQL Server 2000's BCP utility. Sometimes my data contains characters, such as \t and \n, that I need to use as column and row terminators. How do I get BCP to escape characters it's using as terminators as it outputs the data, so that I can actually import the data in another program? For example, one of my columns is text data, and includes tabs and newlines. BCP just exports them as-is, and the program I'm trying to import them with gets confused because the data ends in the middle of a line and/or a line contains extra columns for no apparent reason.
