SQL

First I set the column of REC to a datatype of bigint . Then i run this query to do a count of records:

DECLARE @count bigint
SET @count = 0
UPDATE (table name) SET @count = rec = @count + 1

This should fill the whole row starting at 1 and counting up by 1 each record.

-------------

Then I went into the Design Table routine from Enterprise Manager and changed the REC column to a datatype of CHAR(15).

Closed Enterprise manager and went back into Query Analyzer and entered this query:

update (table name) set rec = REPLACE(STR(rec,15), SPACE(1), '0')

We will eventually turn this into a tutorial, but here it is for those who will just copy/paste.

create database MYDATABASE
on (name=MYDATABASE,
filename='c:\CCTB111\MYDATABASE.mdf',
size=1mb,
maxsize=2mb)
log on (name=MYDATABASE_log,
filename='c:\CCTB111\MYDATABASE.ldf',
size=1mb,
maxsize=2mb)

--create the tables according to your blueprints

use MyClassExamples
create table Student --always start with your parent table
(StudentID char(10) NOT NULL primary key,
FName varchar(50) not null,
Address varchar(50) null,
Postal_code varchar(7),
sex char(1),

Search column names for keywords using "like"

SELECT name FROM sysobjects
WHERE id IN (
SELECT id FROM syscolumns WHERE name like '%KEYWORD%' )

Microsoft SQL query to return all tables, row counts, column counts, and size of tables.

INSERT #temp
