SQL Server有哪些隐藏特性?

例如,没有文档的系统存储过程,做一些非常有用但没有足够文档的事情的技巧?


答案

感谢大家的精彩回答!

存储过程

sp_msforeachtable: Runs a command with '?' replaced with each table name (v6.5 and up) sp_msforeachdb: Runs a command with '?' replaced with each database name (v7 and up) sp_who2: just like sp_who, but with a lot more info for troubleshooting blocks (v7 and up) sp_helptext: If you want the code of a stored procedure, view & UDF sp_tables: return a list of all tables and views of database in scope. sp_stored_procedures: return a list of all stored procedures xp_sscanf: Reads data from the string into the argument locations specified by each format argument. xp_fixeddrives:: Find the fixed drive with largest free space sp_help: If you want to know the table structure, indexes and constraints of a table. Also views and UDFs. Shortcut is Alt+F1

这里有一个简单但有用的例子:

手动编辑表内容时,可以通过输入Control-0在列中插入NULL。

好吧,这是我的观点:

我懒得在这里重新写一遍,所以请查看我的帖子。这对许多人来说可能是微不足道的,但会有一些人会发现它是一颗“隐藏的宝石”。

编辑:

过了一会儿,我决定在这里添加代码,这样您就不必跳转到我的博客来查看代码了。

SELECT  T.NAME AS [TABLE NAME], C.NAME AS [COLUMN NAME], P.NAME AS [DATA TYPE], P.MAX_LENGTH AS[SIZE],   CAST(P.PRECISION AS VARCHAR) +‘/’+ CAST(P.SCALE AS VARCHAR) AS [PRECISION/SCALE]
FROM ADVENTUREWORKS.SYS.OBJECTS AS T
JOIN ADVENTUREWORKS.SYS.COLUMNS AS C
ON T.OBJECT_ID=C.OBJECT_ID
JOIN ADVENTUREWORKS.SYS.TYPES AS P
ON C.SYSTEM_TYPE_ID=P.SYSTEM_TYPE_ID
WHERE T.TYPE_DESC=‘USER_TABLE’;

或者,如果你想拉出所有的用户表,像这样使用CURSOR:

DECLARE @tablename VARCHAR(60)

DECLARE cursor_tablenames CURSOR FOR
SELECT name FROM AdventureWorks.sys.tables

OPEN cursor_tablenames
FETCH NEXT FROM cursor_tablenames INTO @tablename

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN

SELECT  t.name AS [TABLE Name], c.name AS [COLUMN Name], p.name AS [DATA Type], p.max_length AS[SIZE],   CAST(p.PRECISION AS VARCHAR) +‘/’+ CAST(p.scale AS VARCHAR) AS [PRECISION/Scale]
FROM AdventureWorks.sys.objects AS t
JOIN AdventureWorks.sys.columns AS c
ON t.OBJECT_ID=c.OBJECT_ID
JOIN AdventureWorks.sys.types AS p
ON c.system_type_id=p.system_type_id
WHERE t.name = @tablename
AND t.type_desc=‘USER_TABLE’
ORDER BY t.name ASC

FETCH NEXT FROM cursor_tablenames INTO @tablename
END

CLOSE cursor_tablenames
DEALLOCATE cursor_tablenames

许多SQL Server开发人员似乎仍然不知道DELETE、INSERT和UPDATE语句中的OUTPUT子句(SQL Server 2005及更新版本)。

知道哪些行被插入、更新或删除是非常有用的,OUTPUT子句可以很容易地做到这一点——它允许访问称为插入和删除的“虚拟”表(就像在触发器中一样):

DELETE FROM (table)
OUTPUT deleted.ID, deleted.Description
WHERE (condition)

如果你在一个有INT IDENTITY主键字段的表中插入值,使用OUTPUT子句,你可以立即获得插入的新ID:

INSERT INTO MyTable(Field1, Field2)
OUTPUT inserted.ID
VALUES (Value1, Value2)

如果你正在更新,知道发生了什么变化是非常有用的——在这种情况下,插入表示更新之后的新值,而删除则指更新之前的旧值:

UPDATE (table)
SET field1 = value1, field2 = value2
OUTPUT inserted.ID, deleted.field1, inserted.field1
WHERE (condition)

如果将返回大量信息,output的输出也可以重定向到临时表或表变量(output INTO @myInfoTable)。

非常有用——却鲜为人知!

这里有一些未记录的命令:未记录但很方便的SQL server Procs和DBCC命令

我发现sp_depends很有用。它显示依赖于给定对象的对象,例如。

exec sp_depends 'fn_myFunction' 

返回依赖于此函数的对象(注意,如果对象最初没有按照正确的顺序运行到数据库中,将会给出错误的结果。)
