What is the TSQL command to chanage a column of int type to identity type
and vice versa?
Thanks in advance!
KMYou can't add the IDENTITY property to an existing table - you need to
create a new table with the IDENTITY column. If you have existing data, you
can create it with a different name, INSERT the existing data, drop the
existing table, then rename the new table. Enterprise Manager will do this
for you if you add the property in the table designer.

Manager, you can mess up your life doing so. It will remain in a hanged

droping the original one.

No ,you CAN
create table #t
(
col1 char(1)
)
insert into #t values ('a')
insert into #t values ('b')
insert into #t values ('c')
alter table #t add col2 int identity(1,1)
select * from #t
Actually you cannot EDIT/ALTER an IDENTITY property

In the Enterprise Manager, I can create an int column with non-contiguous
(and even duplicated) values in different records, e.g., 1, 31, 1, 7 in 4
records. (Please note that the values are not in ascending order and two of
them are duplicated.) Then later, I can change the column to an identity
column without any value change. Thus I am sure that rather than dropping
and recreating the column, the Enterprise Manager is doing it in another
way. Please correct me know if I am wrong.

To your question:
You should Set identity_insert on on the new table with the identity
before you insert the data.
The Set will last for the session or until you set identity_insert off.
Example:
Create table #source (cola int, colb int)
insert into #source values (1,2)
insert into #source values (3,4)
Create table #dest (cola int identity, colb int)
set identity_insert #dest on
Insert into #dest (cola,colb)
Select cola, colb
From #source
Select *
from #dest
-- drop table #dest
-- drop table #source

Enterprise Manager create a new table, loads data from the old table and
them drops the old table to implement this change. You can verify this with
a Profiler trace or by clicking the 'save change script' button. The end
result is as if the identity property was simply added to the column but the
actual technique used is more involved.
Hope this helps.

Change UNC of DB Backup?
What is the easiest way to change the location where I backup my databases?
Can I just modify the command field of the sysjobsteps table or is there a
stored proc I can use instead? They're setup using the DB Maint plan at the
moment and I have about 20 to change on 3 servers, so I'd prefer to not do
it manually. This will be on 2 2k servers and one sql7 server.
TIA

Hari-
I've been reading about the sp_update_jobstep proc in BOL but I'm not sure
how can I take what is already there and change the command field to reflect
the new UNC. The command line for that is huge and there are 2 places that
the UNC needs to be changed in it. Can I run a select statement and exec
sp_update_jobstep on each row returned from the select using the Replace()
function?
|||One thing to note is that backing up to a UNC share has permission
implications - you may need to change the credentials of the SQL Server
and Agent services to a domain one.

Execute the sp_update_jobstep using the parameters @.Jobname,@.JobStep_id and
@.command. If you give an UNC path ensure that the SQL Server Startup account
have
rights to read and write that partcular share and directory.

Would there be any disadvantage to running something like this?
Update sysjobsteps
set command = replace(command, '\\OLDSERVER', '\\NEWSERVER')
where command like 'EXECUTE%'
In a test table that I created using a select from sysjobsteps, it worked
exactly how I wanted. I haven't tried it on the actual sysjobsteps table in
the msdb database yet though.
Can I just modify the command field of the sysjobsteps table or is there a

moment and I have about 20 to change on 3 servers, so I'd prefer to not do

Hari-
I've been reading about the sp_update_jobstep proc in BOL but I'm not sure
how can I take what is already there and change the command field to reflect
the new UNC. The command line for that is huge and there are 2 places that
the UNC needs to be changed in it. Can I run a select statement and exec
sp_update_jobstep on each row returned from the select using the Replace()
function?|||One thing to note is that backing up to a UNC share has permission
implications - you may need to change the credentials of the SQL Server
and Agent services to a domain one.

Execute the sp_update_jobstep using the parameters @.Jobname,@.JobStep_id and
@.command. If you give an UNC path ensure that the SQL Server Startup account
have
rights to read and write that partcular share and directory.
Thanks

I'm just changing it to a different one. The service that runs the job is
already a domain level account with appropriate permissions.

Would there be any disadvantage to running something like this?
Update sysjobsteps
set command = replace(command, '\\OLDSERVER', '\\NEWSERVER')
where command like 'EXECUTE%'
In a test table that I created using a select from sysjobsteps, it worked
exactly how I wanted. I haven't tried it on the actual sysjobsteps table in
the msdb database yet though.

Change the DATETIME format to DD/MM/YYYY by using CONVERT command.
I have a database table named EMP and I have a column named
DOB(datetime) .I want to retrieve just the MM/DD/YYYY part by using
the CONVERT command.And also I need to change the MM/DD/YYYY to DD/MM/
YYYY format by using the CONVERT command by SQL query.What is the
solution ?
Thank you.

Change SQL Command at runtime?
I have tried some of the fixes for the other posts but it still doesn't work.
My query looks like this:
SELECT *
FROM table1 AS t1, table1 AS t2
WHERE t1.id =t2.id + @.myParam
I want @.myParam to have a value of =" AND t1.custId=t2.custId "
How can I make this work?Use an expression as your source. Note that once you do this in the dataset
tab that you can no longer execute the query or get the field list returned
so make sure you have the appropriate field list before you change it to an
expression.
="SELECT * FROM table1 AS t1, table1 AS t2 WHERE t1.id =t2.id " &
Parameters!myParam.Value

Change SQL command at runtime using a stored procedure?
My query looks like this:
SELECT *
FROM table1 AS t1, table1 AS t2
WHERE t1.id =t2.id + @.myParam
I want @.myParam to have a value of =" AND t1.custId=t2.custId "
How can I make this work?
I did have my report working correctly with my source as an expression. But
with added complexities to the query, it will be easier to maintain in a
stored procedure.Sounds like you need to research dynamic sql

Thanks in advance

Change request: Parameter mapping
In some places in the SSIS enviroment, you can use parameters in queries, for examples in the query part of the OLE DB Command component.
You do this by specifying placeholders using question marks. The question marks result in parameters on the Column Mappings tab of the Advanced Editor named Param_0, Param_1, etc. When adding question marks to the query later on, new parameters are created named Param_<x>, where ‘x’ is the next higher index number, no matter where the question mark appears in the query. If, for example, your initial query contains two parameters and later on you add a third one that appears as the first parameter in the query, it results in a new Param_3 on the Column Mappings tab.
This is all a bit confusing and not very wanted from a maintenance point of view. I know this might be a limitation caused by using OLE DB connections; we tried to do something with ADO.NET connections, but until now, not very succesful. Therefore we think this is something to put on a wish list for a next SSIS version. It would be great to have the opportunity to give parameters a meaningful name, in stead of the question marks in the queries and the generated Param_<x> names in other places.

You should raise this request at http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/default.aspx (and let us know because I will vote for it) and also on the "SSIS Requests" thread at the top of this forum.

Change ownership
Hello I'm trying to change the ownership using this command :
sp_changeobjectowner'govern.NA_WEB_SUBS_HITS','dbo'
and then I received this following error message :
Msg 15001, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_changeobjectowner, Line 75
Object 'govern.NA_WEB_SUBS_HITS' does not exist or is not a valid object for this operation.
Can anyone help please?

You need to speicify the current owner on this object to change:
