Changing Table Format

Mar 11, 2004

Hi there,

Its probably easier to draw this problem than describe it, so here goes:

I have a sales forecast table (A,B,C are products [PRODUCT], the dates refer to the month for which the forecast is [FORECAST_DATE], and the integer is the forecast sales qty [FORECAST_QTY])

A 01/03/2004 30
B 01/03/2004 28
C 01/03/2004 24
A 01/04/2004 11
B 01/04/2004 09
C 01/04/2004 41

I need to convert the table into a more sensible format, like this:

(NB ...Dots are just there to help with formatting - basically I'm talking about a field for FORECAST_03_2004, FORECAST_04_2004 etc etc)


........ 01/03/2004....01/04/2004
A..........30..................11
B..........28..................09
C..........24..................41


I'm really no t-SQL guru, and I can't seem to get any joy out of BOL. It must only be a tiny bit of code. Can anyone help?

Thanks very much

Sam

Date Format Changing In SQL SMS

Nov 27, 2007

Howdy,

I live in Australia and use the date format of - dd/mm/yyy, but when i do a query in SQL Management it seems to want its inputs in US format mm/dd/yyy.

For example it errors when i do a search and one of the dates is 27/11/2007, ie there is no 27th "US" Month.

I have checked my local settings (regional and language in control panel), and it all points to Australian formats, it just seems the SMS wants the dates in US.

Any Ideas?

Changing Format Of Data In Gridview Using VB

Mar 24, 2008

Hello all,
I am trying to modify the output of a SELECT statement in a VB asp.net page that pulls data from a SQL DB. I only need to modify one column in the gridview, but I'm having some issues.
Here is the situation:SELECT     TOP 24 ID, RecID, Timestamp, Answered, Holds, Dropped, Waits, Voicemail, Busied, LiveWaitsFROM         mTrafficORDER BY Timestamp DESC
The Timestamp column returns a number value (i.e. 564566).In terms of a date, 564566 doesn't mean anything to the user, so I need to convert this number into a recognizable and accurate date.
The formula I need to implement is Timestamp/1440 - 1
The following SELECT statement returns the number as a date, but makes all records the same date:
SELECT     TOP 24 ID, RecID, Convert(datetime, Timestamp/1440 + 1) as Timestamp, Answered, Holds, Dropped, Waits, Voicemail, Busied, LiveWaitsFROM         mTrafficORDER BY Timestamp DESC
What do I need to do to implement this function dynamically into my gridview?
Thanks in advance!
 
Chris

Changing SQL Server Date Format

Jul 19, 2002

SQL 2k w2k server sp2

When I first installed the SQL server on my server, the default date
format was mm/dd/yy. Now I need to change that to dd/mm/yy in
regional settings, but its still not reflected in the DB's in SQL (its
still mm/dd/yy).


Is it possible to change it in SQL without a complete reinstallation
of the server?

DTS To Excel Export - Changing Format

Oct 26, 2004

Hi,

I have a dts package which is reading from a sql table and writing it to an excel file, its working fine except that I have a decimal field in the sql table but in excel file its writing it as string field.

The way I create this package is that I create a template file and I format that column to a "Number" format. Then I take this template file, rename it, export all the data to this file.

But when I open this file that decimal field is displayed as a string column and its left aligned.

Is there any way to fix this problem?

Thanks,

Changing The Format For A SQL Server Query

Apr 3, 2006

Hi,

I have to generate a daily report of survey answers by users? My question is there a way to reformat the query so it generates a table or report with it showing the rows as columns instead.

Here is my initial query.

SELECT

dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.DateCreated AS DateCreated

,dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.questionid AS QuestionID

,dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.surveyid AS SurveyID

,dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.ordernumber AS OrderNumber

,dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.userid AS UserID

,dbo.Reporting_User.LastName1 AS LastName

,dbo.Reporting_User.FirstName AS FirstName

,dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.QuestionText AS QuestionText

,dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.QuestionAnswer AS QuestionAnswer


FROM

dbo.Reporting_Surveys

INNER JOIN dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions

ON dbo.Reporting_Surveys.surveyid = dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.surveyid

INNER JOIN dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers

ON dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.QuestionID = dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.QuestionID

INNER JOIN dbo.uvwReporting_User

ON dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.userid = dbo.uvReporting_User.userid

WHERE

dbo.uvReporting_SurveyAnswers.surveyid = 1125

Order by dbo.Reporting_SurveyAnswers.DateCreated

,dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.ordernumber

Select

dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.ordernumber AS OrderNumber

, dbo dbo.Reporting_SurveyQuestions.QuestionText AS QuestionText

To complicate matters, some of the users did not answer some of the questions and some of the questions are duplicated in the rows because the database assigned them one answer each.

Example. Question 18 says "Name all the industries you have worked in. Check all that apply.

What happens is lets say the user checks 4 different boxes. In the query results, it will show 4 rows with question 18 with each answer they checked off.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Changing Identity Column Format

Mar 19, 2007

Hi,

Is it possible to change the format of the identity column? i.e. I have and integer value that will be the ID for the records to follow in the database. Instead of the values being 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 etc I want them still to be in sequence but I want the format to be 001,002,003,004,005,006,007,008,009 etc.

Is it possible to do that in SQL when you're creating the table?

Changing Data Format On Select

Jul 20, 2005

Hey all,I have a basic table that looks something like this.CREATE TABLE MyTable(ID INT IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,Company_ID INT NOT NULL,Round VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,Details VARCHAR(250) NOT NULL)It has a few rows of data that look like this:Identity Company_ID Round Details--------------------------------------------1 5 A Blah, blah.2 5 B Generic data, blah blah.3 5 WERT More generic blah blah.Now what i'm trying to do during my select statement is select all the rowsthat belong to company_id 5 but if any of the rows round value contains thetext "WERT" convert that text into just a "--" for presentation purposes,but still select that row. I can't seem to figure out how i would transformthe text in the select statement? My immediate thought was substring /replace but i would need to combine it with an if else statement which i'veno idea how to make work in a select (sub-query maybe?) statement. Is thispossible? Perhaps i'm stuck iterating through the returned data within theclient application before presenting?Any help, as always, would be greatly appreciated.Muhd

Jul 20, 2005

Hi- apologies for asking a stupid newbie question, but I'm really stuck atthe moment. I need to change table ownership.I've got an asp script which is looking for a table owned by the dbo role,however the table was created under a different ownership. I understand theproblem, and almost understand the solution, but I can't seem to get all theway.THE PROBLEM (using [server].[database].[owner].[table])[mgbsvr1].[dnn].[dnnadmin].[aspsearch]needs to be[mgbsvr1].[dnn].[dbo].[aspsearch]I looked up the books online and found this syntax:sp_changeobjectowner [ @objname = ] 'object' , [ @newowner = ] 'owner'But I can't see how to use it, nor more importantly, where I should use it.It won't work in the query tool in Enterprise Manager. If I need to create ascript (which I've never done before), how do I execute the script?All help deeply appreciatedManning, Sydney

Changing Datatype In A Table Used For Replication ?

Feb 28, 2002

Changing datatype in a table used for merge replication ?

I'm trying to change the data type on a column in a table that is used for a merge-replication with another (identical) DB.

I get this error:
Cannot alter the table '[Tablename]' because it is being published for replication.

I've tried to remove that specific table from the publication (Publication properties -> Articles tab) so I can change the data type and then put the table back into the publication, but I can't (probably because it's a MERGE rep.)

Any ideas ?

Changing Table Column Size

Mar 2, 2004

I'm new to mssql.

I need to change the size of a column of a table from char(255) to char(500). I used the line:

alter table table_name alter column column_name char(500)

When I run that command, I get a message that it was sucessful. However, when I try to enter data into the changed column, the number of characters I can enter is still 255. I check the information schema for the column and the 'character_maximum_length' field is 500.

What is the problem here? Is the maximum allowable length for char 255? How can I get a column to have 500 characters?

Changing Column Order In A Table

This subject has been posted several times, but I haven't seen a goodanswer.Problem:I want to change the order of the columns in a table using T-SQL only.Explanation:After running your code, I want to see the following table...CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TableName] ([First_Column] [int] NULL ,[Second_Column] [varchar] (20) NULL) ON [PRIMARY]look like this...CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TableName] ([Second_Column] [varchar] (20) NULL ,[First_Column] [int] NULL) ON [PRIMARY]Limitations:Don't post if your post would fall in the following categories:1. If you don't think it can be done2. If you think Enterprise Manager is the only way to do this3. If you think I should just change the order of my Selectstatements4. If you want to state that order column doesn't matter in arelational database5. If you want to ask me why I want to do thisWish:Hopefully the answer WON'T involve creating a brand new table, movingthe data from old to new, dropping the old table, then renaming thenew table to the old name. Yes, I can do that. The table I'm workingwith is extremely huge -- I don't want to do the data juggling.Thanks in advance!

Having Trouble Changing Destination Table Name

Mar 17, 2008

I created a package using the Import Data wizard and everything works fine when I re-execute it. I needed to change the name of the destination table so I went into SQL Server and renamed the table. I then went in and edited the DTSX file via a text editor and changed the OpenRowset setting from [CMBS].[dbo].[raw_Note] -> [CMBS].[dbo].[T_Raw_Note]

<property id="104" name="OpenRowset" dataType="System.String" state="default" isArray="false" description="Specifies the name of the database object used to open a rowset." typeConverter="" UITypeEditor="" containsID="false" expressionType="None">[CMBS].[dbo].[T_Raw_Note]</property>

There are no other references to the table in the DTSX, i saved the file and then re-ran.

When I run, I get invalid object name dbo.raw_Note (old table name). Is there some data being cached somewhere or hidden elsewhere that it would reference the old table? When I go back into the DTSX file, the correct name is in there so I don't know where it is getting the old name from? Any help would be appreciated.

Changing Config Table Location On The Fly

Aug 30, 2007

Hi everyone,


I am trying to create a proof of concept to show that we can have packages deployed on 3 different servers and all we need to do is tell the package, upon execution/scheduled task, where to go fetch it's configurations from.

The configurations are using SQL Server as the package configuration. This makes it easier for DBA's to maintain since DBA's are responsible for package executions and job scheduling.

For example, the configuration database and all package configurations would be found on server1, server2 and server3 The difference in values is that on Server1, the configuration for the source data and the destination data point to Server1DatabaseSource and Server1DatabaseDestination and on server2, the configs point the source to Server2DatabaseSource and Server2DatabaseDestination and for server 3, the same thing but pointing to server3.

There is also a connection for the SSIS_Config database we're getting the configurations from. In theory, if we specify a different server where this SSIS_Config database is found, it should override the settings in the package. No?

When I schedule OR execute the package, it's always getting it's configs from the config specified in the package independent of wether I specify it in the Connection Managers of the Execute Package Utility when I manually execute it OR in the data sources tab when I configure the package to be run as a job in SQL Server 2005.

Am I missing something here?


Thanks,

Rob
