| i have a number of tables in my database but the table names are either ended with xxx_male or xxx_female.how do i construct a select SQL statement so that i only select all the tables with name ended without "_female"?please note that this is a little bit different from the select SQL statement that retrieving all tables with name ended with "_male". this is because in future i might want to have other table name (with different format). so i need to have the SQL statement that select table names without ending with "_female".please help me. |

| I assume that you want to select the table names,SELECT '['+SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id)+'].['+name+']'AS SchemaTable FROM sys.tables where name not like '%_female'SQL Server Programmers and Consultantshttp://www.sql-programmers.com/ |
