I would love to see an automatic trimming transformation. We currently have 14 different ERP systems throughout our company and almost everything we do, when it comes to strings, requires trimming. Although doing it through the derived column task is somewhat easier, it is very time consuming and error proned, if you overlook a column or two.
If you have two synchronous transformation components and the input of the second is connected to the output of the first, does the first transformation process (loop through) all rows in the buffer before outputting these rows to the second transformation? Or does the first transformation output each individual row to the second transormation as soon as it has finished processing it?
I have a field in my SQL table that is defined Decimal(10,8), which provides me with the ability to have up to 8 digits after the decimal place, however, if I store a value such as 3.14, it is stored as 3.14000000. This is fine in the database, but it is the same when it's returned. I have tried using Convert.ToDecimal on my returned row but it doesn't work. The value at runtime appears as 3.14D in the locals window but displays with all the insignifcant digits.
Any ideas what's happening or if there is an easy way to trim the trailing zeros?

I have an SQL 2000 database with several tables that are populated using various forms. One or more of the forms is causing the several fields to fill in with data input plus empty spaces to the right for the full character length assigned. Is there a routine or database feature in Visual Studio that can trim off all trailing spaces in all fields in a database table? Is there a compacting routine that might be called? Thank you
greetings!! the below trigger works fine in SQL 2000 and doesn't takeup much resources, it's a very simple solution to trim text fields atinput in SQL. I know a lot of folks will say to create input masks atthe UI level and that SQL is a restricted back-end DB, but to be quitehonest I don't trust those UI guys and as a DBA I will have to cleanthe mess when they forget to validate. Hope it can be usefull to anyof you too. ;)----------------------------------------------------------------------CREATE TRIGGER [TRIMMER_TGR] ON [dbo].[MyTable]AFTER INSERT, UPDATEASIF UPDATE (MyStringField)DECLARE @TRIMMEDFIELD NVARCHAR(50)DECLARE @MYID INTSELECT @TRIMMEDFIELD = MyStringField from InsertedSELECT @MYID = ID from InsertedBEGINUPDATE tblDocket SET MyStringField = RTRIM(LTRIM(@TRIMMEDFIELD))WHERE ID = @MYIDEND

Hi, We are working on creating an automatic backup tool for our web application. Our goal is to run a script that "zips" the virtual host/application directory. We have the script to zip the application directory, but is there a way to run a SQL Backup and then zip the output easily? This is where we are struggling. Any Suggestions are appreciated Brent
I am getting an automatic rollback in a transaction that fails to insert a row, via a trigger, due to a duplicate key. The transaction is automatically rolled back and unless the error correctly handled a 'partial update' occurs. Why in the example below is the transaction automatically rolled back (statements 1 to 3) and is there any way of knowing what errors generate an auto rollback. For example if the duplicate key error occurs on the insert into table B below, and not the triggered update, then no auto rollback occurs.
Begin Tran -- 1 insert into A values ('A1') -- 2 updates OK insert into B values ('B1') -- 3 updates OK -- triggers insert into B_Hist -- 4 Fails with Duplicate Key error insert into C values ('C1') -- 5 updates OK Commit Tran -- 6 3902 error No corresponding Begin

I don't know very much about Sql Server and need help. I have two primary keys called AirlineCode e ID in the same table. This id is an automatic number. So I don't need to input this value, since it's created automatic. What I need is this ID be created automatic but for each new AirlineCode the ID starts as 1 again. For example : If I put AirlineCode = 220 then ID starts as 1. In another row AirlineCode is also 220, then ID is 2. But in another row AirlineCode = 500, then this automatic number come back to 1. then the rows can be like this :

I have two sql 2000 server tables one is active and one is terminated (I inherited this db) and I was thinking of having the active table automatically update the terminated table when an employee is terminated. Access is at the front end and in the form of the active table theres a drop down text box that has the employement status(active, terminated, on leave...etc) so when the status turns into terminated i want the acitve table to send those records to the terminated table, ( the data in both tables are not exactly the same). looking into a trigger or stored procedure. This is the first time I've done this so I'm doing some reasearch on how to handle it. Any suggestions
well as I get further into this project of automatic updates I'm fining more and more barriers. The combo list box which indicates whether the employee is terminated or active might be a problem with sql since you cant create a Row source and a Row source type in a sql table. that combo box exsist in the properties of the form. The Row Source Type is a Value List. Shoot :(
I'm a SQL Server 7/2000 DBA and manages about 40 servers in different networks. Every morning I check through the Enterprise Manager if all Jobs (backup, maintenance, etc.) have run successfully. This check costs me 1 hour per day.
Because of a reorganization I've got some new college's and lost some college's. My new college's think this is to much work, so it should be automated. They only want the failed jobs to report an error on a website or something like that, and don't want to check 40 servers. I don't agree in this, because I'm affraid I'm going to miss some errors.
Hi there, I am testing the db mirroring, making sure it will auto failover. I've stopped the SQL services on my principal and then I looked at the mirror db is says it's restoring. It stayed like that for 10 min before I enabled the mirroring again. Anyone knows why it's not failing over??????
Here's my setup: SQL 2005 Standard, Server 1 Principal, Server 2 Mirror & Witness.
I have initiated database backup plan in 2005,occuring every 2 days.backup plan worked for the first 2 schedules,later backup plans is not working.I have checked the time and date setups,its all fine.how to solve.
CONSTRAINT [PK_tblProve] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([ID] ASC) WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY] ) ON [PRIMARY] GO
I have a table "dbo.tblProve" that have a Primery Key ID of type varchar(10) and this primary key have a Default value or Binding like this: ([dbo].[fnc_ProveNewID]())
This function "dbo.fnc_ProveNewID()" finds the max(ID) in the same table and creates the next ID.
When I insert a record into the table dbo.tblProve the function creates the new ID automatically (this is the format of the ID '0000000001' or '000000010' etc. ). But when I insert a lot of records from a Select Query it displays this message below:
Msg 2627, Level 14, State 1, Line 2 Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_tblProve'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.tblProve'. The statement has been terminated.
Is there any way to create a new ID into a table automatically without to be inserted by the user or client?.
