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?

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

Vardecimal存储格式

SQL Server 2005为数字和十进制数据类型添加了一种新的存储格式,称为vardecimal。Vardecimal是十进制类型的一种变长表示,可以在行的每个实例中保存未使用的字节。如果十进制定义很大(如decimal(38,6)),但存储的值很小(如0.0),或者有大量重复值,或者数据填充稀疏,则可以节省最多的时间。

其他回答

如果你想要存储过程的代码,你可以:

sp_helptext 'ProcedureName'

(不确定是否是隐藏功能,但我一直在使用它)

您可以用子查询创建一个逗号分隔的列表,并且后面没有最后一个逗号。据说这比之前使用的函数更有效。我想是2005年之后。

SELECT 
    Project.ProjectName,
    (SELECT
        SUBSTRING(
            (SELECT ', ' + Site.SiteName
            FROM Site
            WHERE Site.ProjectKey = Project.ProjectKey
            ORDER BY Project.ProjectName
    FOR XML PATH('')),2,200000)) AS CSV 
FROM Project

您还可以使用带有嵌套查询的FOR XML PATH来选择XML,我发现这很有用。

在SQL Server 2005/2008中显示SELECT查询结果中的行号:

SELECT ( ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY OrderId) ) AS RowNumber,
        GrandTotal, CustomerId, PurchaseDate
FROM Orders

ORDER BY是一个强制性条款。OVER()子句告诉SQL引擎对指定列(在本例中为OrderId)上的数据进行排序,并根据排序结果分配数字。

Use

从information_schema中选择*

列出所有的数据库,基本表,sps,视图等在SQL server。

存储过程的一个技巧是可以从INSERT语句调用它们。当我在SQL Server数据库上工作时,我发现这非常有用。

CREATE TABLE #toto (v1 int, v2 int, v3 char(4), status char(6))
INSERT #toto (v1, v2, v3, status) EXEC dbo.sp_fulubulu(sp_param1)
SELECT * FROM #toto
DROP TABLE #toto
