Is there any short cut to write “Select * from” in SQL 2005 or 2008. If such a short cut exists please let me know.

thanks and regards,
Arvind Dhiman

it is so close to ctrl+r , ctrl+d etc.. accidentally pressing it when working on a query could be disastrous..

You can query the table name in sys.Tables. For more details see my article: http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2008/08/06/sql-server-query-to-find-column-from-all-tables-of-database/

There are many way to see columns of a table as you can see columns in SSMS or by sp_help .

If this is not what you are looking for then please describe your question in detail.

Kind Regards,

Thanks

Also, is there a CTRL-? shortcut for entering the current date and time into a datetime field similar to the CTRL-0 shortcut for the NULL value?

but is not working to load the sp but the mssms it does open

any sugestion?

USE AdventureWorks;
GO
IF OBJECT_ID (N’dbo.AWBuildVersion’, N’U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE dbo.AWBuildVersion;
GO

Recently I installed SQL Server 2005 “Developer” and can not find DTS.

Any suggestions? Thanks

Can you recheck whether the database existed with same (the db name which you want restore). if not found in Enterprise Manager, Enter the command as Use DBNAME in Query Analyzer.

If found in Enterprise Manager, check query analyzer opened with the that Data base. close the query analyzer and delete the exist data base.

If still also not able to delete, clear the connections in detach window and delete the .mdf & log files in the specified path.

Hope it will solve.

Thanks

in Your table 10th column which is job_title is defined to take not more than 20 characters, but in your insert statement you are trying to insert 24 characters which is “Web Developer & Designer”. That is why insert statement is failing.

Solution for this problem is either change the max size of the job_title column to 50 or make the value of that column small example : “Web Devp & Designer.”

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Imran.
