The result could be a password like "0l$IE" and I the save this password to an SQL server. The problem is however that with the generated password five blanks are also added. Instead of "0l$IE" I get "0l$IE ". I hope you understand what I mean? Is there an easy way to correct this?
Hi, I'm working with MRS and I've got a table with a lot of entries. For each value in the table I'm trying to get the text colour to be set to 'red' when the value of the cell is less than 0. Otherwise remain black.
I can do this by setting the colour property cell by cell. But I have a lot of cells in the table. Is there a way to set the statement to apply to ALL cells in the table?
Basically I'm asking if there is a way to set the property in bulk instead of going through tediously cell by cell.
A table was created in version 6.5 that has 2 blank spaces and a slash '/' in it's name (i.e. Item Type w/Groups). This was done in error and now the table cannot be dropped or renamed and dropped.
Does anyone know how I can delete this table? Please let me know.
I have a column defined as smalldatetime. Default length (4), and "allow NULLS" is checked.In the Enterprise Manager UI, when i enter data into that table row, if i just tab past that column, all is well, and the value is represented in the UI as <NULL>.The problem comes once i ever enter a date into that column. Say i have entered a date (all is well), and now i want to remove that entry and go back to NULL (after the date value has been committed, different entry session, say).How is that done?It seems to me, once a date has ever been entered into that column, now, if i try to remove it, i get the error "The value you entered is not consistant with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit". I have tried deleting the value, entering spaces, entering the string NULL or the string <NULL>; maybe some other tries as well, but none works, i always get that error message and am not allowed to proceed past that cell until i restore a date value to it. I want to get back to <NULL>.Anybody know?Thank you.Tom
I have a report where in I want to show each record on a separate page.
So, to achieve that I took a single cell from table control, expanded it and used all the controls in that single cell. This looks nice so far.
Now, I also have to show a sub grid on each record. So I took a table control and added on the same single cell and tried to add a parent group to the table row.
When I preview, it throws this error.
"The tablix has a detail member with inner members. Detail members can only contain static inner members."
What am I doing wrong? How can I achieve table grouping inside a table cell?

A few months back i saw a sample rds file where there was a kind of line graph in a table cell that indicated how much percent a sales person had to the complete sale figure.
But i cannot find the link anymore.
I would like to have such a linge graph next to all my agents that indicates a value againts a total value.
Does anybody has any pointers where i could find that info ?
This is embarasing.I'm creating a 500 line query from XML, CSV's, etc. and I can't fingure this out. I'm building a very complex "SELECT" query and then shoving it into the [Select] column in a SQL 2005 table. I want to call a stored procedure that just "executes" that query and returns the results....Any help would rock.
I am converting a site from asp to .net and the previus writer did something I never saw.(I am somewhat new to programming all together). He put multiple values in a single cell of the database. I have always learned to use a seperate column for each value. Is this a classic asp thing and there are better ways now? Or is this something I should do myself? The columns type is text and the contents look like this:<Details Expertise="bla bla" Description="We are a three-divisional company ...," WebSite="www.blabla.com" AccountLevel="Free" AccountStatus="Active" WorkHomeZIP="22222" ContractStartDate="01/01/2003" ContractEndDate="12/31/2003"><Address Location="Work" State="Oh" ZIP="22222"/><Email Location="Work" Value=""/><Phone Location="Fax" Code="9801" Ext=""/></Details>
I'm trying to use DTS to import data from an XLS into a SQL table.It works fine in that it INSERT's the data. However, I need it toUPDATE the table, based upon a ProjectID. Can this be done?Can a DTS package be fired from a SP using parameters?Eg UPDATE tProjects SET MyField1=XLS.Sheet1.CellA1,MyField2=XLS.Sheet2.CellA1 WHERE ProjectID = @ProjectID.Also, it must handle dynamic XLS file names, eg 981-Budget.xls,513-Budget.xls, xyz-Budget.xlsIs this the best way to go? Other suggestions most welcome?Thanks everyone in advance!
Is it possible to stack two images on top of each other in a table ?
Let me clarify where i'm going to. I have a report where in one table i would like to display (in a graphical way) how much a sales person has sold towards the whole sales amount. To do so i would like to set my background of my cell to yellow and then use an image (just a green rectangle) where i adjust the padding according to the percentage. When i set my background to yellow and i insert my image in the cell, the textbox cell properties disapear and are replaced with the image properties. So also my background that was defined in my textbox is gone. Now i was thinking if i could set two images on top of each other (a yellow rectangle and a green rectangle). But when i do that, one image is replaced with another.
Am i doing something wrong or is there another way to achieve what i want to do?
I uploaded custtable under the database, the data looks fine except that the name that apprears has a lot of distance e.g
it should be :
firstname lastname however the format appears very strange:
firstname lastname
firstname lastname
fistname lastname
Same is the case with the address, I need to adjust or format the apperance that appears on the cell. Is there a way/ sql statement to format the data under the table so that the apprearence looks okay.
I will really appreciate any sort of help on this one.

Is there any way I can set the background colour for an image in a table cell (or even for a non-embedded image for that matter)? I always seem to get a white background.
What would be an equivalent expression for ISNULL(datafield, 0) for a table/matrix cell? I am using iif( Len().. to find out if there is something in the cell, and displaying zero in the cell if the length of cell item is 0, however am wondering if there is any better/elegant way of doing that?
I wrote a simple data flow with an OLE DB source and destination. I do a direct mapping of the columns ( colA - > colA) with no transformations needed. I found that colA on the destinatin does not allow NULLS (required by the program that accesses that database) while colA on the source supports and has NULLs, Is there any accomodaiton for handling NULLS (like mapping them to blanks) in the direct copy approach or do I need to read each row and test colA_ISNull?
Does having a lot of blanks in a column cause errors ?
In 2 or 3 packages where I get 95% of the data in the Error Colomn I can find nothing wrong with the data at all ? it all either seems perfect or there is no data in the column in question usually I would have maybe 800 rows where data would have been inserted but in the other 40, 000 rows the column is blank
Using the "Retain null values from the source as null values in the destination" doesnt seem to make a differance.
This is the error description
The data value cannot be converted for reasons other than sign mismatch or data overflow.
Anyone know of a solution / reason why this keeps happening
I posted this scenario earlier and ndinakar said my code worked on (I guess) his own machine but has not worked on mine! Does that not sound funny? I need to ge through with this simple but frustrating stuff in time. I've implemented more complex snippets before this but I just can't figure the problem out.
Can anyone out there tell me what I could be doing wrongly? I wrote a simple stored procedure called 'proc_insert_webuser' in a database that has been moved to a remote server called LAGOS-NTS3. I executed it from SQL Query Analyser and it worked. When, however, I executed the same stored procedure from ASP.Net it gives an impression that a new record has been inserted and even displays the newly generated ID column to me. On checking the base table I found only blank columns with only the ID column having the generated IDs!
I'm perplexed. I checked the code and can't possibly spot the error. Can anyone help. Found below are snippets used.
CREATE PROCEDURE proc_insert_webuser ( @applicantidnumeric(18) output, @firstnamevarchar(18), @midname varchar(18), @lastname varchar(50), @secretcodevarchar(18), @my_errnumeric(18) output ) AS IF (SELECT COUNT(ApplicantID) FROM tbl_webuser WHERE Firstname = @firstname AND Midname = @midname AND Lastname = @lastname) = 0 BEGIN begin transaction INSERT INTO tbl_webuser (Firstname, Midname, Lastname, SecretCode) VALUES (@Firstname, @Midname, @Lastname, @SecretCode) commit transaction SET @applicantid = @@IDENTITY END ELSE BEGIN RAISERROR('Error! Execution aborted. A matching user profile exist.', 16, 1) SELECT @my_err = @@ERROR END RETURN
Then the ASP.Net stuff:
Sub PostData()
'connection string production
Dim cstring As String = "User ID = sa; Password = ; database = E-Recruitment; Server = LAGOS-NTS3; Connect Timeout = 60"
'connection instantiation
Dim cnx As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(cstring)
Try
'open connection
cnx.Open()
'instantiates and execute a command object
Dim cmd As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand
With cmd
.Connection = cnx
.CommandText = "proc_insert_webuser"
.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
Dim param1 As New SqlClient.SqlParameter("@applicantid", 0)
param1.DbType = DbType.Single
param1.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
.Parameters.Add(param1)
Dim param2 As New SqlClient.SqlParameter("@firstname", txtFirstNM.Text)
param2.DbType = DbType.String
param2.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input
.Parameters.Add(param2)
Dim param3 As New SqlClient.SqlParameter("@midname", txtMidNM.Text)
param3.DbType = DbType.String
param3.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input
.Parameters.Add(param3)
Dim param4 As New SqlClient.SqlParameter("@lastname", txtLastNM.Text)

.Parameters.Add(param4)
Dim param5 As New SqlClient.SqlParameter("@secretcode", txtPWD.Text)

param5.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input
.Parameters.Add(param5)
Dim param6 As New SqlClient.SqlParameter("@my_err", 0)
param6.DbType = DbType.Single
param6.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
.Parameters.Add(param6)
.ExecuteNonQuery()
'pick the auto-number
Dim strAppID = .Parameters("@applicantid").Value
'notifies the user of record success

End With

Finally
cnx.Close()

I'm calling this procedure from the click event of a command button. What could be happening to the code? I have done similar things and got positive results! Any hint from anyone out there?
I'm trying to create a view from a table in which I want to concatenate to columns to a new column. The concatenation part works fine when data "supports" calculations, i.e. no nulls. The data however is "infected" in two ways I have Null-values and I have blanks alongside with some real information. I concatenate via a CASE statement but I can't figure out how to take the 3 situations into account (nulls, blanks and data) and create one meaningfull column in my view.
The result should be column1 + "-" if column2 is null or blank column1 + "-" + column2 if column2 has meaningfull data
Both the involved columns are text (varchar).
If anyone has been in this situation before could you please provide som code that handles the situation.
I have an Excel spreadsheet with a field that may contain blanks (empty). When I filter on that field to show only the blanks, I get 4000 records returned. But if I import the spreadsheet into SQL Server, the test in there for blanks ('') returns nothing. However, if I test for Nulls in that field, I get 5000 records returned. I don't know which one (Excel or SQL Server) is giving me the right answer. Can anyone help me understand what's going on?
When I enter a data in a table, SQL Server automatically completes the data with blanks up to length of column. this happens in a web form also in Management Studiıo, Whan am I doing wrong ? does Collation have anything with it ? SQL Server 2005 / Developer Edition
I want to load this data into SQL Server tables so that the data will be imported without the trailing spaces(blanks) after each data element . Thus I will like to trim the data of the extra spaces (blanks) before import.
So the query I am looking for would basically add some values to the results where they meet the right criteria.
I am running the query through a view so I dont actually want to add the values to the physical tables only to the view of the results if you understand what I mean?
