list table name and schema using sql



Just a hours ago, i was looking for code which will list-out all the tables in database with its schema name. I found so many way to do this , but here i found simple and easy way to implement it.

SELECT '['+SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id)+'].['+name+']'
 AS ListofTables_withSchema
FROM sys.tables

This will returns all the List of table along with the schema names.
 
 
 
 
 Happy coding...

Gridview header sorting using C#

In my previous post i explained, how to Search string pattern using sql on SQL i had explained how to Add Image in between Rows of a GridView using C#.
 
Now in this article i will explain one of the useful feature i.e Gridview Sorting.
you need to set the AllowSorting property as a True. and SortExpression Property of columns to the specific field name from the database.
Lets look at the below sample gridview code.
 
<asp:GridView ID="gvDetails" runat="server"  onsorting="gvDetails_Sorting" AllowSorting="True">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Your Name" SortExpression="FirstName">
<ItemTemplate>
<%#Eval("YourName")%>'/>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</asp:GridView>

Now for sorting you need to create one public property which store the value of direction in the viewstate and base on that select query get fired.


public GetSortDir direction
{
  get
  {
    if (ViewState["SortingDir"] == null)
        {
            ViewState["SortingDir"] = GetSortDir.Ascending;
         }
         return (GetSortDir)ViewState["SortingDir"];
   }
   set
   {
       ViewState["SortingDir"] = value;
   }
}

Now check the gridview directon and base on viewstate it will get set the new direction.

    protected void gvDetails_Sorting(object sender, GridViewSortEventArgs e)
    {
        string sortDirection = string.Empty;
        if (direction == sortDirection.Ascending)
        {
            direction = sortDirection.Descending;
            sortDirection = "Desc";
        }
        else
        {
            direction = sortDirection.Ascending;
            sortDirection = "Asc";
        }
       
        DataView sortedView = new DataView(BindGridView());
        sortedView.Sort = e.SortExpression + " " + sortDirection;
        gvDetails.DataSource = sortedView;
        gvDetails.DataBind();
    }


Here BindGridView() is the function which returns the datatable & it contain the query result.
that's it now check the gridview and click on the header and see the sorting effects get added in your gridview.

Search string pattern using sql


In my previous post i explained, how to Parsing delimited string using sql using  SQL and asp net
Now in this article i will explain how to Search the string pattern on entire string using the sql. some time we wanted to search the specific string along with the position then we can think of this way to retrieve the string.

Below i have created some sample query which will retrieve the string on specific position 


create table #TempSQL(csvtext varchar(2000) not null)
insert #
TempSQL select 'tempa,tempb,tempc,tempd,tempe,tempf,tempg' union select 'temp1,temp,temp3,temp4,temp5,temp6'

select
       dbo.fnGetCsvPart(csvtext,0,default) as pos0
       ,dbo.fnGetCsvPart(csvtext,2,default) as pos2
       ,dbo.fnGetCsvPart(csvtext,2,1) as Entire_string
from #
TempSQL
 

Here is the generated output from above query.

pos0                       pos2                          Entire_String
------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------
temp1                        temp3                   temp3,temp4,temp5,temp6
tempa                        tempc                   tempc,tempd,tempe,tempf,tempg 


Now create this function


create  function dbo.fnGetCsvPart(@csvtext varchar(2000),@indexPos tinyint, @lastPos bit = 0)
returns varchar(5000)
as

begin
   declare @ivar int; set @ivar = 0
   while 1 = 1
       begin
           if @indexPos = 0
             begin
                 if @lastPos = 1 or charindex('_',@csvtext,@ivar +1) = 0
                       return substring(@csvtext,@ivar +1,len(@csvtext)-@ivar +1)
                     else
                       return substring(@csvtext,@ivar +1,charindex('_',@csvtext,@ivar +1)-@ivar -1)
            end
          select @indexPos = @indexPos-1, @ivar = charindex('_',@csvtext,@ivar +1)
          if @ivar = 0 break
   end
 return null
end
GO


You may call that directly on your query. check below  example.

select Isnull(dbo.fnGetCsvPart(Document_Name,2,default),'') as [Request]
