Automating A Query And The Saving Saving Of Subsequent Results
Dec 13, 2007
Hi Guys,
I am trying to automate a basic task using SQL Server 2005 Express.
Currently I have a query script that I run and then save the results as a CSV file. I need to do this on a daily basis and so I am looking to find out how best to go about this. There are a multitude of third party tools that claim to be able to do this - can anyone recommend this or enlighten me of the best way to set up this automation.
All ideas gratefully received!

I'm trying to do something which I hope can be accomplished relatively simply.
I have a report similar to bank statements let's say. When run, it currently prints out each person's statement into one file, with page breaks sepearating each person's statement. What I need to do, is when the report is run, save each person's report into a seperate file for the purpose of emailing to them later.
I could easily modify my report to just output for one particular person, but I'm not sure if there's a way to "bulk render" all the reports and have them saved to sepearate files.
I should also add that I'm using an MS Access Data Project (ADP) as the front end to my app - connected to a SQL Server 2005 DB. I currently display the reports by embedding a web browser object into an Access form and rendering the report via HTML.
Thanks in advance,
H

so i wrote this script and its pretty sweet (tara helped me before on this one) but now, for some STRANGE reason and its been reported by users the following:
the script for example dumps "first name, last name"
when we save the results as a CSV it looks good in notepad...
"first name, last name"
but we kept getting some kind of stange issues when we tried to dump that CSV data into another program to use... so i opened the CSV file in command prompt to see what it really looks like and it is actually "f i r s t n a m e , l a s t n a m e" with all these unnecessary spaces! why is it saving the CSV with spaces in it when my script is nothing of the sort? it was working fine last week, no changes were made to the script but now the CSV's are rendering those weird spaces.

I've built a very strong form engine for one of our web apps. It's more featuristic that the TFS Work ITem Tracking.. and more complicated. In order to get the complexity It requires over 50 tables to support the 20+ fields I've created for the users.
The problem I have now is doing REports and Filtering on these tables.
Like TFS, it has querying... but I have a problem with storing the query. I have two columns right now:
ItemQuery
TaskQuery.
The TaskQuery unions the task query and the ItemQuery and I can do sorting etc. on that. Without any constraints on the filter (say they jsut want to select column headers) the query can exceed 10,000 characters.
If someone wanted to have a constraint:
I want to check if the CascadingDropDown "Strategic Plan" was ever "Maximize Potential" (or some other management term like that).
That constraint sub-query is 500 characters.
Meaning, if someone put 20 constraints on a filter like that, I already have 10,000 characters.
Average Query without constraints:
-I have my ItemQuery which contains the "columns" Query: 6,000 characters.
-I have my TaskQuery which contains the "Columns" Query: 6,000 characters.
Which turns into:
SET @ItemQuery = (SELECT ...)
SET @TaskQuery = (SELECT ...)
EXEC(@ItemQuery + ' ' + @TaskQuery)
But now that I add constraints to those, I'm hooped.
I can create another column: ItemConstraint and TaskConstraint... but what if users create massive constraints and the query exceeds 8,000 characters, the Max a VARCHAR can hold...
I can't use TEXT as you can't create local variables of type TEXT in a stored procedure (DECLARE @Sample TEXT)... so I'm forced to use VARCHAR(8000).
Any thoughts? We use SQL 2005.

I would like to save a query plan (estimated or actual)created in Query Analyzer -- paste it into a document,or simply print. It doesn't seem to be possible toselect and copy the Execution Plan window, and printingit creates microscopic gibberish which is a waste ofpaper. Is it possible to do this?Set showplan_text is of limited help for the SP I'mlooking at -- while analyzing the SP, it reads aheadand complains that a temp table created inside the SPdoesn't exist (yet) and exits. Using Ctrl-K to capturethe query plan allows the SP to complete, but saving theplan is the problem.Thanks,Jim Geissman

Hi Gurus,
Can u help me out in the following two scenario/problems.
1. I want to save the query results (which is generated within execute sql task) to file (which does not exists & should be created at run time). is it possible?
2. Can I define the file name, in Flat File connection Manager, dynamically (by using some variable)?
Your support and help will be appreciated...

Anas

I want to save every query executed from a given software, let's say Multi Script for example, and save in a table query text, execution time and rows count among other possible useful information. Right now I've created a sp and a job that runs every 1 milliseconds but I can't figure out how to get execution time and rows count. Another problem with this is that if the query takes too long I end up with several rows in my table.

Hi
I have a UDF
---------------------
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[UDF_AlphaNumeric]') and xtype in (N'FN', N'IF', N'TF'))
drop function [dbo].[UDF_AlphaNumeric]
GO
CREATE function UDF_AlphaNumeric (@string nvarchar(max)) returns nvarchar(max)
AS
-- select dbo.UDF_AlphaNumeric('a[]#b`c,;"1$%^2"£!3')
begin
while @@rowcount > 0
select @string = replace(@string, substring(@string, patindex('%[^0-9a-zA-Z]%', @string), 1), '')
where patindex('%[^0-9a-zA-Z]%', @string) <> 0
if @string = ''
select @string = null
return @string
end
---------------------
After creating the function I open a new query window, put in the below two calls to the function, and run them
select dbo.ADE_AlphaNumeric('a432[]#b`c,;gfd23$%^789')
select dbo.ADE_AlphaNumeric('a432[]#b`c,;gfd23$%^789')
The results then look like this:
a432[]#b`c,;gfd23$%^789
a432bcgfd23789
The first time it runs, it's not having the desired effect. Any subsequent calls to the function perform as expected.
I am using SQL Server 2005 SP2. Is this a known issue? Or is there some setting I am missing?
Cheers
Neil

I am currently migrating my application from Access to SQL. It looks like it's working good but one thing I cannot understand is why when I have created a varchar(40) field and after I insert a field that is less then 40 characters long, the rest of the string is filled with the leading spaces. I have also create an nchar(40) that did not solve it ether. For example: the text is "Hello World". The text is 11 characters long but the data saved to the table is: "Hello Wolrd" + 29 spaces. Am I doing something wrong?Thanks for your help in advance.

When I open a DTS package, save it as a bas file, make changes, close the package and save it when prompted, where are my changes saved?
The answer appears to be nowhere. When I reopen the package it's back to it's original setup. When I check the bas file it's as it was when I originally saved it.
Any ideas? Like where my mornings work is gone?

Hi, all.This might be a silly question... but I am very new to programming inSQL so please bear with me :)So. I'm using MS SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express. I have atable that was created via an existing .sql file. Included were abunch of stored procedures. I went in to re-format these procedures.(They were written in haste by another programmer. It is my task to goback and improve their readabilities.) However, I am having difficultyfiguring out how to save the changes to these stored procedures. Thusfar, I have been individually saving each stored procedure in itsown .sql file. This is obviously not the way to go... but it's atemporary solution (so as not to lose the changes I have made todozens of procedures).Can someone please explain to me how I commit these changes to thedatabase?Thanks,Allie

Good day
Using vb 2005 express I have my grid veiw on the form and a icon to click to save my work.
But is there a passage of code I can write to pop up a message box to remind me to save my work when I close my form. Similar to ms office forms when you close they ask you if you want to save any changes.
Thanks

Is it better to have users that upload pictures have them saved to SQL server or to a folder? I have a site where users enter things that they own (and each item has a unique id) and now I would like to add the functionality to add a picture. I am sure I should use the fileUpload control, but should this save to a folder created for each user or to the SQL record itself? Or possibly a separate SQL table just for pictures?Thanks for the help.

Hello Im having a little problem getting some values from a database.....
What I need is to get the value of the keyfield of the last entry introduced, I know how to to do the SQL statement for this, the problem is that i dont know how to save this value in a variable. I need to save this value in a variable in the session object or in a hidden field, and then use this variable in another different page. That's way i need to save this ID value, later in the other page I introduce data in a different table and one of the fields has to be this ID value which I have as a foreign key in the table so I need to use the same value in all the rows i introduce(Id value).
If you know how to accomplish this let me know, many thanks, Sergio

My install of SQL Server 2005 runs like a dog. The SQL Management Studio splash screen lasts for 10 minutes, then when the Studio window appears it takes another 5 minutes to initialize.
I have SQL server installed on a Germane Server running Windows Server 2K, SP4. It has quad Xeon 2.8 GHz processors with 2GB RAM. 4 300GB drives in a RAID 5 configuration.
I have created 2 databases which I would like to save, uninstall SQL, then reinstall it. (I didn't install it the first time.)
Then load the 2 databases into the new install.
How do I do this?

SAVING PROBLEM
Now i know that my database is really saving
but it is being saved on the copy database in bin folder of the
project folder. But i want it to be saved on databse of the project
folder. Everytime I execute the program, the database on the project
folder copies itself to the bin folder which overwrites the updated
database.
I agree with
Antoine (Software Design Engineer, Visual Studio Data
Design-time) that SSE database has 2 copies
(http://blogs.msdn.com/smartclientdata/archive/2005/08/26/456886.aspx).
He or she suggested to set the property of the databse to "Copy
Never", on my SSE it's "Do not
copy". i cant find "Copy Never", i supposed its
the equivalent. When i executed the program i got an error
"An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file
C:[app_path]addressbook.mdf failed. A database with the same name
exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC
share".
I
tried her/his 2nd suggestion, leave the data file outside the project
and create a connection to it in Database Explorer, but I got the
same error message.
Someone
from other website suggested to delete the SQLExpress folder in
"c:Documents
and Settings[user name]Local SettingsApplication
DataMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server DataSQLEXPRESS"
but this didnt solve the issue.
PLS
HELP. Thanks

Ok. So I have this ASP.NET page and I've programmatically taken a report from the report server and rendered it in PDF. Now I would like to take this a step further and save the report as a pdf document on the local machine.
So at this point I have a byte array representing the document, now how would I save this as a pdf on the local machine? I'm unaware of an ASP Response method to allow this and I'm unaware of a SSRS ReportingService method, but as I said I'm unaware...
Any ideas, thoughts, resources are all welcome.
