I was wondering if someone could help me with creating a while loop to iterate through several databases to obtain data from one table from two columns. this is was I have done
This doesn't use a loop. Hope this helps!
Note that "TABLE_OWNER" is that same as "SCHEMA Owner" and "TABLE_TYPE" will identify if the item is a table OR view.
--This will return all tables, table owners and table types for all database(s) that are NOT 'Offline'
--Offline database information will not appear
Declare @temp_table table(
DB_NAME varchar(max),
TABLE_OWNER varchar(max),
TABLE_NAME varchar(max),
TABLE_TYPE varchar(max),
REMARKS varchar(max)
)
INSERT INTO @temp_table (DB_NAME, TABLE_OWNER, TABLE_NAME, TABLE_TYPE,REMARKS)
EXECUTE master.sys.sp_MSforeachdb 'USE [?]; EXEC sp_tables'
SELECT DB_NAME, TABLE_OWNER, TABLE_NAME, TABLE_TYPE
FROM @temp_table
--Uncomment below if you are seaching for 1 database
--WHERE DB_NAME = '<Enter specific DB Name>'
--For all databases other than 'System Databases'
WHERE DB_NAME not in ('master','model','msdn','tempdb')
order by 1,2,3
