Changing Date To String Of Numbers
May 27, 2006
I basic question but can someone help.
I have a SELECT statement, the result of which populates a
datagrid. The first column has consecutive dates in it and I want
to hyperlink each date to a seperate Javascript function (the
Javascript is created on the fly and is unique for each date). I
need a different function name for each function and so tried the date
but "/" is not allowed in the Javasript function name. I think
the easiest way will be to produce a new column with the date expresses
ddmmyyyy, ddmmyy or some such unique number (but not dd/mm/yyyy).
I tried :-
"CASE " & _
"WHEN t3.date = t3.date THEN (DAY(t3.Date) + MONTH(t3.Date) + YEAR(t3.Date)) ELSE NULL END AS [javaKey]
but this adds the year to the month to the day - not a unique result as 1/2/06 and 2/1/06 are the same.
I am just getting to grips with VB.Net (as an amature) but am a distinct beginner at SQL!
Many thanks
Mike

A table I'm working with has a varchar column containing a comma-delimited string of numbers, which match up to smallint codes in another table. I gather this is someone's implementation of a many-to-many relationship. :)
Using SQL Server 2008 and wondering if there's a special trick to using a string list of numbers with IN() URL...converting the string into a temp table[/url] but I'd just like to make sure there isn't a quicker, easier approach, or if that's it.

Hi,
Say I have a string of Numbers eg. "1,2,3,4,5" and in order to split it I use split("1,2,3,4,5", ",") function, what would I get as an answer? My second question is, if I want to pass all 5 numbers in a sub report as if I am selecting from a multi-value parameter, how would I do that? I have tried several different ways of doing it and I still can't get it to work. Please help me...and feel free to email me back if somethign is not clear.
Thanks a lot,
-Rohit

OK Here is what I am trying to do... In one of my processes I need to take a field IE CREATE_DATE and change that from an EPOCH (number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970) to a human readable date... IE a 04/02/2008 08:23:36 AM and stuff... Now I do know how to use the dateadd... However all my times are coming up as GMT I need them to be EST/EDT... How can I script this to automagically subject 5 or 4 from the hour depending on if we are in daylight savings. This has been plagueing me for the longest time.
Thank you all for any help you can give.

I have a string and i want to get only the numbers from right.
For example if I have the string Like '123756zxfggr123456' then it will show me only 123456 or if i have the string like
'4vbz67xfggr123dfd' then it will show me only 123 or if i have the string like '123756zxfgg43r5' then it will show me only 5.
I got a function where it gives me all the numbers in a string but I don't need that
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.udf_GetNumeric
(@strAlphaNumeric VARCHAR(256))
RETURNS VARCHAR(256)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @intAlpha INT
[Code] ....
If I ran the select statement it gives me the result 111123456 but i want only 123456 or if i select
SELECT dbo.udf_GetNumeric('111zxfggr6587fhhfkwee') AS 'Num' it will show me 6587.

Yeah, it's pretty simple. Maybe it'll help someone out.
-- USAGE: fn_extract_chars(string_to_search, 'letters' -or- 'numbers')
CREATE FUNCTION fn_extract_chars (@x varchar(128), @y char(7))
RETURNS varchar(128)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @chars varchar(128)
DECLARE @pos int
DECLARE @action varchar(32)
SET @pos = 0
SET @chars = ''
IF @y = 'numbers' SET @action = '[0-9]'
ELSE IF @y = 'letters' SET @action = '[a-zA-Z]'
WHILE @pos < (DATALENGTH(@x) + 1)
BEGIN
IF PATINDEX(@action,SUBSTRING(@x, @pos, 1)) > 0
BEGIN
SET @chars = @chars + (SELECT SUBSTRING(@x, @pos, 1))
END
SET @pos = @pos + 1
END
RETURN(@chars)
END

Hello,
I'm having problems with a column of numeric string data coming from a tab delimited CSV file. When a number in the column is negative, it is expressed this way; 1,240.52-
The negative symbol occurs at the end of the numeric string. The destination column is in a SQL Server 2005 table. I've tried to change the data type of the table column, and three or four different data types in a data conversion task, but nothing has worked so far to bring the data over.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your help!

I'm trying to put conditional formatting on a field, that behaves as follows:
The data in the field is varchar, and sample data is either:
NULL
3.0 :0
11.7 :1 (these are ratios of a sort)
I want to evaluate the first 3 characters of the string as numbers.
Example:
Mid(fieldvalue,1,3) = "3.0" or "11."
Any data that is greater than 1.99, I want to make the background dark red, anything else including nulls, zebra formatting. I have the following expression built so far and it appears to work, except when the value is null. If the value is null, it leaves the background color white.
This is the warning: [rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The BackgroundColor expression for the text box "Asthma" contains an error: Input string was not in a correct format.
=iif(
isnothing(Fields!Asthma.Value)
,(IIf(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2 = 0,"#b8cce4","#dbe5f1"))
,(iif(mid(Fields!Asthma.Value,1,3)>1.99
,"DarkRed"
,IIf(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2 = 0,"#b8cce4","#dbe5f1"))))
My logic is, if the field is null, zebra format, if mid of the value is > 1.99, dark red, everything else zebra formatting. As I said, this seems to work except for nulls.

Hello,
I am trying to extract from some strings like the following strings the number and order them by that number:
Box 1
Box 2
Box 3
Box 20
Box 21
...(and so on)
The problem I am having is that I already extracted the number using
Substring([field],[starting position],[lenght])
but the output seems to be in a string format, so the order is not in an ascending order.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I have a report with a column which contains either a string such as "N/A" or a number such as 12. A user exports the report to Excel. In Excel the numbers are formatted as text.
I already tried to set the value as CDbl which returns error for the cells containing a string.
The requirement is to export the column to Excel with the numbers formatted as numbers and the strings such as "N/A' in the same column as string.
Any suggestions?

In a column I have some values for part names. The 6th character tellsyou where the part came from, and this is the same scheme for everysingle part in the database.If I want to do something like return the basic name of a given part,without the factory identifier character, I need to replace thatcharacter with a '_' character. (So for instance '11256CA' and'11265AA' and '11256MA' would all just get turned into '11256_A' andonly one row would be returned in the SELECT DISTINCT statement)I know how to replace an instance of a given character using replace(),but how can I alter a specific character in a string if all I know isthe index of the character within the string?TIA,-CS

I need to change a string in a .txt file using .NET, the .NET code will be executed by an SSIS package and the file needs to be changed so it can be used by another process which looks at that specific line (line 9 value: 'set ASOF=20080424'), for that specific date string.
What method in .NET can I use to perform this task? Should be very simple, correct?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Now that I have figured out how to connect to a foxpro database...
Could anyone tell me how to change the connection string on the fly?
I would like to make it possible, from the command line (using dtexec) to specify a portion of the connection string.... incorportate this portion into the connection string and then instruct the connection manager to use this connection...
For example I have a number of foxpro databases to import, they will be place in a directory structure like this:
TopLevel
TopLevelNewYork ransactions.dbf
TopLevelLondon ransactions.dbf
TopLevelSydney ransactions.dbf
I'd like the user to be able to specify which city's files to load each time the package is run..
dtexec /f MyPackage /set Package.Variables[User::THECITY].Properties[Value];"London"
And when the package starts the THECITY variable would take the value "London"
But I'm not sure how to then affect the connection string property of the connection manager... there seems to be no way to specify that it take its connection string property from an expression...
So I'm lookin for some way which would cause the Connection String property of the coneection manager to become:
Driver={Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver};sourcedb=d:TopLevelLondon;sourcetype=DBF;exclusive=No;backgroundfetch=Yes;collate=Machine;
Jsut to recap, the provider for this connection manager
is a ".Net ProvidersOdbc Data Provider" which I've been forced to use becasue the OLEDb provider for Foxpro has been rendered useless by service pack 1
Thanks in advance

Hi!
I create a SSIS Package for ETL on my own machine. During development database was also on my machine. For access to this database an OLE DB connection was defined within a package in BI Development Studio. Everything worked well both in debug mode and testing package itself.
Finally I need to load data to a database on a different machine using this package.
I used several scenaries:
1) simply copied the package-file to estination machine, open it for execution, in section "Connection Managers" I edited connection string manually - changed server name and Initial Catalog. And try to execute.
2) on the destination machine I manually created an OLE DB connection (using Microsoft Data Link) to a different database (test succeded), Changed the extention of the connection file 'udl' for ' txt ' and copied its connection string to the field connection string in section "Connection Managers" (pointed in variant 1) ).
3) use Package Configurations, copied the deployment to destination machine, installed the package the way like written here - http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365338.aspx. Changed exported properties - Server name, Initial Catalog and also the whole Connection String. Also try to execute.
In all cases I recieved the same error execution message :
"Errors in the metadata manager. Either the database with ID of " OLD_DATABASE_NAME " does not exist in the server with ID of " NEW_SERVER_NAME " or the user does not have permissions to access the object."
As for access (username/pass) settings they are the same for both of them, I have the same administrative rights on both machines. And more with the same rights the ole db connection made was made manually in variant 2 - succeded!!! So I don't think the problem is here.
As for Error message - I think somewhere the OLD name of database (Initial Catalog) is saved, though I tried to change it. Though the NEW value for the server name is substituted.
Please, help me. I don't know what else can I try. And it is not a single case for my practice. So I think - something wrong in my actions.

Scenario:
130 dtsx packages using 4 matching connections.
3 of those connections are stored in an SSIS Configuration table in an Operational database.
The last connection is in a shared data source and points to the Operational database so the packages can grab the others.
Problem:
It's time for deployment and all of those connections must change to production servers.
The 3 are no issue, just change the ConfiguredValue in the SSIS Configuration table on the production box to point to the other production servers.
However, the fourth one... I had made an assumption that when you changed a shared data source it filtered down throughout all the packages. We all know what assumptions do to you.... So. I need a way to change all 130 connections (and be able to change ALL packages quickly and simply for other projects in the future)
Solution:
It has been suggested that we use another package to run though all of the packages and change the connection with a script task. I can live with this (and more importantly so can our DBS's who have to deploy).
I have one snippet of code to ADD a connection using a variable holding the connection string, but we dont' want to add one, just change an existing one.
Has anyone else done this? Or had a similar problem and way to fix?
We are likely to have many projects in which the connections MUST change at deployment, and the idea of going into every package to make the change is sad at best... We would be more likely to move back to a competitor's product that has a connection repository, than continue with SSIS.

Using DTS package in 2000 version, I am dumping TXT file contents into SQL Table,
I have one column having date in format YYYYMMDD(20070929) and corresponding column in SQL is datetime, but it fails on data type mismatch.
I have no choice of making date column in SQL to string or Varchar etc,
is there any way to make that date column in SQL to convert the value upon transformation from format (YYYYMMDD) to M/DD/YYYY (9/29/2007).
many many thanks,

I asked this question below, but the answer was that the conversion will take place automatically, but I can't get that to happen. I have a flat file with an 8 position field that I identify as string (and I also tried date) that is yyyymmdd and it needs to go into the database field that is datetime format. IS there something I am doing wrong with the definition of it, or do I need to add some kind of conversion, and if so, what and how would that be done. I'm a dts Sql2000 expert, but the SSIS thing is driving me crazy. I have a ton of dts' to convert and the migration tool doesn't work because there are a lot of active X scripts in them. thanks for your help. Boston Rose

I’m working with a team of programmers who are in the process of upgrading an older ASP application to ASP.NET 2.0 (VB). The existing application connects to the SQL Server Database using different Logins, depending on the User logged into the ASP Application.
We are hoping to do the same using ASP.NET 2.0, although we haven’t been able to find a simple solution. The most feasible solution we have found includes programmatically trapping all the Selecting etc events and changing the SqlConnection at run time. This allow for ease during Designing of the Web Pages, but implementation requires adding code to each web page (>100 pages).
We are hoping there may be a simple solution which can be implemented once for the application where the event can be trapped at the application level, and the SqlConnection set at this point. Or possibly another type of solution such as creating a new class etc that can be used?
Does anyone have a simple solution where the username / password for the Database Connection can be set at run time?

Have a need to let the user select the year and month to use for filtering results from an MDX query that populates a report.I think all I should need is a list of years and a Month name / number.What would the filter look like if say I had a Date dimension that included the year number in a 4-digit and month in a 2-digit number? In TSQL it would be something like ... where Month = @month AND Year = @year...How do I get a distinct list of member values for the month numbers from the Date dimension?
