/*********************************************************************************************************** Procedure: sp_generate_inserts (Build 22) (Copyright © 2002 Narayana Vyas Kondreddi. All rights reserved.) Purpose: To generate INSERT statements from existing data. These INSERTS can be executed to regenerate the data at some other location. This procedure is also useful to create a database setup, where in you can script your data along with your table definitions.

NOTE: This procedure may not work with tables with too many columns. Results can be unpredictable with huge text columns or SQL Server 2000's sql_variant data types Whenever possible, Use @include_column_list parameter to ommit column list in the INSERT statement, for better results IMPORTANT: This procedure is not tested with internation data (Extended characters or Unicode). If needed you might want to convert the datatypes of character variables in this procedure to their respective unicode counterparts like nchar and nvarchar

Example 1: To generate INSERT statements for table 'titles': EXEC sp_generate_inserts 'titles'

Example 2: To ommit the column list in the INSERT statement: (Column list is included by default) IMPORTANT: If you have too many columns, you are advised to ommit column list, as shown below, to avoid erroneous results EXEC sp_generate_inserts 'titles', @include_column_list = 0

Example 3: To generate INSERT statements for 'titlesCopy' table from 'titles' table:

EXEC sp_generate_inserts 'titles', 'titlesCopy'

Example 4: To generate INSERT statements for 'titles' table for only those titles which contain the word 'Computer' in them: NOTE: Do not complicate the FROM or WHERE clause here. It's assumed that you are good with T-SQL if you are using this parameter

EXEC sp_generate_inserts 'titles', @from = "from titles where title like '%Computer%'"

Example 5: To specify that you want to include TIMESTAMP column's data as well in the INSERT statement: (By default TIMESTAMP column's data is not scripted)

EXEC sp_generate_inserts 'titles', @include_timestamp = 1

Example 6: To print the debug information: EXEC sp_generate_inserts 'titles', @debug_mode = 1

Example 7: If you are not the owner of the table, use @owner parameter to specify the owner name To use this option, you must have SELECT permissions on that table

EXEC sp_generate_inserts Nickstable, @owner = 'Nick'

Example 8: To generate INSERT statements for the rest of the columns excluding images When using this otion, DO NOT set @include_column_list parameter to 0.

EXEC sp_generate_inserts imgtable, @ommit_images = 1

Example 9: To generate INSERT statements excluding (ommiting) IDENTITY columns: (By default IDENTITY columns are included in the INSERT statement)

EXEC sp_generate_inserts mytable, @ommit_identity = 1

Example 10: To generate INSERT statements for the TOP 10 rows in the table: EXEC sp_generate_inserts mytable, @top = 10

Example 11: To generate INSERT statements with only those columns you want: EXEC sp_generate_inserts titles, @cols_to_include = "'title','title_id','au_id'"

Example 12: To generate INSERT statements by omitting certain columns: EXEC sp_generate_inserts titles, @cols_to_exclude = "'title','title_id','au_id'"

Example 13: To avoid checking the foreign key constraints while loading data with INSERT statements: EXEC sp_generate_inserts titles, @disable_constraints = 1

Example 14: To exclude computed columns from the INSERT statement: EXEC sp_generate_inserts MyTable, @ommit_computed_cols = 1 FORMATTER ERROR (Malformed List) SET NOCOUNT ON

Making sure user only uses either @cols_to_include or @cols_to_exclude IF ((@cols_to_include IS NOT NULL) AND (@cols_to_exclude IS NOT NULL)) BEGIN RAISERROR('Use either @cols_to_include or @cols_to_exclude. Do not use both the parameters at once',16,1) RETURN -1 Failure. Reason: Both @cols_to_include and @cols_to_exclude parameters are specified END

Making sure the @cols_to_include and @cols_to_exclude parameters are receiving values in proper format IF ((@cols_to_include IS NOT NULL) AND (PATINDEX(%,@cols_to_include) = 0)) BEGIN RAISERROR('Invalid use of @cols_to_include property',16,1) PRINT 'Specify column names surrounded by single quotes and separated by commas' PRINT 'Eg: EXEC sp_generate_inserts titles, @cols_to_include = "title_id,title"' RETURN -1 Failure.

Checking to see if the database name is specified along wih the table name Your database context should be local to the table for which you want to generate INSERT statements specifying the database name is not allowed IF (PARSENAME(@table_name,3)) IS NOT NULL BEGIN RAISERROR('Do not specify the database name. Be in the required database and just specify the table name.',16,1) RETURN -1 Failure. Reason: Database name is specified along with the table name, which is not allowed END

Checking for the existence of 'user table' or 'view' This procedure is not written to work on system tables To script the data in system tables, just create a view on the system tables and script the view instead

IF @owner IS NULL BEGIN IF ((OBJECT_ID(@table_name,'U') IS NULL) AND (OBJECT_ID(@table_name,'V') IS NULL)) BEGIN RAISERROR('User table or view not found.',16,1) PRINT 'You may see this error, if you are not the owner of this table or view. In that case use @owner parameter to specify the owner name.' PRINT 'Make sure you have SELECT permission on that table or view.' RETURN -1 Failure. Reason: There is no user table or view with this name END END ELSE BEGIN IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME = @table_name AND (TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE' OR TABLE_TYPE = 'VIEW') AND TABLE_SCHEMA = @owner) BEGIN RAISERROR('User table or view not found.',16,1) PRINT 'You may see this error, if you are not the owner of this table. In that case use @owner parameter to specify the owner name.' PRINT 'Make sure you have SELECT permission on that table or view.' RETURN -1 Failure. Reason: There is no user table or view with this name END END

Variable declarations DECLARE @Column_ID int, @Column_List varchar(8000), @Column_Name varchar(128), @Start_Insert varchar(786), @Data_Type varchar(128), @Actual_Values varchar(8000), This is the string that will be finally executed to generate INSERT statements @IDN varchar(128) Will contain the IDENTITY column's name in the table

To get the first column's ID

SELECT @Column_ID = MIN(ORDINAL_POSITION) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS (NOLOCK) WHERE TABLE_NAME = @table_name AND (@owner IS NULL OR TABLE_SCHEMA = @owner)

Determining the data type of the column and depending on the data type, the VALUES part of the INSERT statement is generated. Care is taken to handle columns with NULL values. Also making sure, not to lose any data from flot, real, money, smallmomey, datetime columns SET @Actual_Values = @Actual_Values + CASE WHEN @Data_Type IN ('char','varchar','nchar','nvarchar') THEN 'COALESCE( + REPLACE(RTRIM(' + @Column_Name + '),,'')+,NULL)' WHEN @Data_Type IN ('datetime','smalldatetime') THEN 'COALESCE( + RTRIM(CONVERT(char,' + @Column_Name + ',109))+,NULL)' WHEN @Data_Type IN ('uniqueidentifier') THEN 'COALESCE( + REPLACE(CONVERT(char(255),RTRIM(' + @Column_Name + ')),,)+,NULL)' WHEN @Data_Type IN ('text','ntext') THEN 'COALESCE( + REPLACE(CONVERT(char(8000),' + @Column_Name + '),,'')+'',NULL)' WHEN @Data_Type IN ('binary','varbinary') THEN 'COALESCE(RTRIM(CONVERT(char,' + 'CONVERT(int,' + @Column_Name + '))),NULL)' WHEN @Data_Type IN ('timestamp','rowversion') THEN CASE WHEN @include_timestamp = 0 THEN DEFAULT ELSE 'COALESCE(RTRIM(CONVERT(char,' + 'CONVERT(int,' + @Column_Name + '))),NULL)' END WHEN @Data_Type IN ('float','real','money','smallmoney') THEN 'COALESCE(LTRIM(RTRIM(' + 'CONVERT(char, ' + @Column_Name + ',2)' + ')),NULL)' ELSE 'COALESCE(LTRIM(RTRIM(' + 'CONVERT(char, ' + @Column_Name + ')' + ')),NULL)' END + '+' + , + ' + ' Generating the column list for the INSERT statement SET @Column_List = @Column_List + @Column_Name + ','
