    Hello Sql!

    I am tring to utilize the analyzer more often now days so that i may become better at writing procedures. I have noticed that the Analyer does not have a wizzard, (The enterprise manager does, (For querrys only))I am really wanting to learn to work with the templates in The Analyzer,, just looks like a much more powerful aproach..

    Below is a simple Basic template (as it says ~) and this is where i am confornted with all of this new syntax.

    I do know from my question the other day that the N' is for unicharters,, but the u' is a new one,,, and the way the structure of the querry is unique.. Like every where i look there is a reference to SysName..... What is up with that word every where... And can someone that works with this alot give me any pointers on what is what with this template below,,,, (as in what may be useful and what is not)

    Thanks,

    Erik..

    -- =============================================

    -- Create table basic template

    -- =============================================

    IF EXISTS(SELECT name

       FROM   sysobjects

       WHERE  name = N'<table_name, sysname, test_table>'

       AND   type = 'U')

        DROP TABLE <table_name, sysname, test_table>

    GO

    CREATE TABLE <table_name, sysname, test_table> (

    <column_1, sysname, c1> <datatype_for_column_1, , int> NULL,

    <column_2, sysname, c2> <datatype_for_column_2, , int> NOT NULL)

    GO

     

    Dam again!

    The format for the replaceable parameters in the templates is,

    < parameter name , datatype , example data or default value >

    The 'sysname' that is referred to in the templates is system-supplied user-defined data type for nvarchar(128).

    Templates like these are extremely helpful when your creating a whole pile of stored procedures, or you want to standardise the way the stored procedures are layed out. I use this one pretty regularly,

    IF EXISTS (SELECT name FROM sysobjects 
            WHERE name = N'<procedure_name, sysname, usp_procname>' 
                AND type = 'P')
    DROP PROCEDURE <procedure_name, sysname, usp_procname>
GO
    CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.<procedure_name, sysname, usp_procname>
/*************************************************************************
FILENAME: 
    <procedure_source, sysname, full pathname to source code>
SQL SERVER OBJECT NAME: 
    dbo.<procedure_name, sysname, usp_procname>

    <@param2, sysname, @p2> <datatype_for_param2, , int> = <default_value_for_param2, , 0>
AS
BEGIN
    SET NOCOUNT ON
    SET DATEFORMAT dmy
    END
GO

    If you type CRTL-SHIFT-M or select Edit - Replace Template Paramters on the menu, Query Analyzer will pop up a window for you to enter a replacement value for each parameter.  You can use the same notation to put replacable elements in your own scripts, or create your own templates.
