/* I have to store the values of these individual variables. I wish to

I am taking details from a linked server file (.XLS file). Two of the fields in this file are STARTTIME and STARTDATE.
The problem I have is that these have to be imported into a SQL table, but only into one column of type DATETIME. The column name is STARTDATE. I really have no idea on how to go about this. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I have an SSIS conversion issue. I'm pulling two tables from a DB2 database into SQL 2005. One table has a list of work orders, and the other has a list of work order comments. There is a unique identifier between the two tables so that a join can be used, however, due to size limitations, I need to be able to combine both tables.
The end result will be replicated out for SQL Mobile Edition and the file is too large when both tables exist so I am wanting to concatinate all the comments for each work order into a single text field in the work orders table.
Here is what I am wanting to accomplish:
UPDATE tblWorkOrdersSET Comments = (SELECT Comments FROM tblComments WHERE tblWorkOrders.ReqNum = tblComments.ReqNum)
I know that this statement will not work because there is a one-to-many relationship between the tables so each work order could get multiple results.
Newbie question regarding a db I have inherited. A table FullDocuments has a DocNo column with smallint data type and a SequenceNo column also with smallint data type.DocNo has numbers that represent persons. SequenceNo has numbers that represent specific documents associated with each person (DocNo).So DocNo 5 and Sequence 3 represents the 3rd document associated with person 5.My SELECT statement looks like this:SELECT ReadingNo, SequenceNoThis returns data like this: 5 3I would like to concatenate the SELECT statement to return like this: 5-3So I made Sql like this:SELECT ReadingNo + '-" + SequenceNo Which returns a alias ('No Column Named') result value of 8 which is an arithmetic result instead of a string concatination that I want.So my questions are:1. Should the original database designer have used string data types for these columns since they will never be used for math purposes?2. Do I need to cast them to string data type (like nchar(4) - since neither column will ever exceed 4 digits) to get the result I desire?3. Or can I keep them as smallint and modify my SELECT statement to allow concatination yielding a string result?

Using gridview to display the data and sql server 2000 I have a column in the database say departtime of datetime datatype that cntains the date and time resp(09/19/2007 9:00 PM). I am separating the date and time parts to display in two different textboxes say txt1(09/19/2007) contaons date and txt2(9:00 PM) contains time by using the convert in sqldatasource. Now i need to update the column in the database and i am using Updatecommand with parameters in aspx lke updatecommand = "Update table set departtime = @departtime" . How can i update my column as datetime by getting the data from 2 texboxes as now i have 2 textboxes displaying data for single column means if user edit the data in txt1 as(10/19/2007) then on click of update i need to populate the column daparttime as (10/19/2007 9:00 PM).Please let me know if you have any questions.
I currently have some SQL code that is used to build a string that is a concatination of string values across multiple rows. The subqueries in the script sometimes return NULL values so I use the following statement to change the default behavior of the concatination operator which prevents my query from returning NULL:
SET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL ON
Here's the code snippet:
select DISTINCT
(SELECT CASE WHEN (t1.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=1 THEN ' ' + t1.description ELSE '' END FROM transactiontypes t1 WHERE (t1.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=1) +
(SELECT CASE WHEN (t2.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=2 THEN ' ' + t2.description ELSE '' END FROM transactiontypes t2 WHERE (t2.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=2) +
(SELECT CASE WHEN (t3.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=4 THEN ' ' + t3.description ELSE '' END FROM transactiontypes t3 WHERE (t3.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=4) +
(SELECT CASE WHEN (t4.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=8 THEN ' ' + t4.description ELSE '' END FROM transactiontypes t4 WHERE (t4.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=8) +
(SELECT CASE WHEN (t5.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=16 THEN ' ' + t5.description ELSE '' END FROM transactiontypes t5 WHERE (t5.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=16)) as 'Transaction Type'
The problem I am having is I need to be able to use the query above in a view used for reporting. Unfortunately, you cannot use SET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL ON in a view. This causes my query to return NULL if any of the subqueries return NULL. I could create a function to do something similar and reference the function in the query but I can't help but think there must be a way to get this done in a single query.
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I am not comfortable with DTS 2000 but I need to execute a encapsulated DTS 2000 package from a SSIS package. The real problem is when I need to pass SSIS variables to DTS 2000 package. The DTS 2000 package have 3 global variables that I can identify on " Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor - Inner Variables ". I believe the SSIS variables must be mapped on " Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor - OuterVariables ". How can I associate the SSIS variables(OuterVariables ) to "Inner Variables"? How can I do it? Much Thanks.
Anyone know how to write the portion in red in a stored procedure?LEFT OUTER JOIN TITLE AS T ON (POS.TITLE_ID = T.TITLE_ID)JOIN DISTRICT_LOCATIONS AS DL ON (POS.DISTRICT_LOCATION_ID = DL.DISTRICT_LOCATION_ID)WHERE POS.PRIMARY_IND = 1 IF @DISTRICT_LOCATION_ID != 'All' BEGIN and DL.DISTRICT_LOCATION_ID = @DISTRICT_LOCATION_ID ENDIF @ATTENDANCE_STATUS_ID!= 'All' BEGIN and AST.ATTENDANCE_STATUS_ID= @ATTENDANCE_STATUS_ID ENDUNION ALLSELECT DISTINCT 5 AS TAG ,3 AS PARENT ,convert(varchar,getdate(),101) as [ACTIVITY_REPORT!1!REPORT_DATE] ,AX.ACTIVITY_CLASS_ID AS [ACTIVITY!2!ACTIVITY_CLASS_ID] ,NULL AS [ACTIVITY!2!ACTIVITY_NAME]
I am testing SQL Server 7.0. In Stored Proc I try to select a database which name is stored in the variable @databasename. I get the error that it can't open a database @databasename. Can I declare the database object in T-SQL?
/* Get Name of Server & declare variables */ declare @sname varchar(30) declare @db1 varchar(30) declare @db2 varchar(30) declare @db3 varchar(30) declare @dbf1 varchar(30) declare @dbf2 varchar(30) declare @dbf3 varchar(30)
select @sname = rtrim(substring(srvname,5,30)) from sysservers
print 'The name of this server is: ' + @sname
Set @db1 = @sname + 'database1' Set @db2 = @sname + 'database2' Set @db3 = @sname + 'database3' Set @dbf1 = @db1 + 'RL_log' Set @dbf2 = @db2 + 'RL_log' Set @dbf3 = @db3 + 'RL_log'
print @db1 print @dbf1 go
ALTER DATABASE @db1 MODIFY FILE (NAME = @dbf1, MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED) go ALTER DATABASE @db2 MODIFY FILE (NAME = @dbf2, MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED) go ALTER DATABASE @db3 MODIFY FILE (NAME = @dbf3, MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED) go .....
When I run it, I get the following errors: ..... The name of this server is: KANSASCITY KANSASCITYdatabase1 KANSASCITYdatabase1RL_log Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 2 Line 2: Incorrect syntax near '@db1'. Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1 Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '@db2'. Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1 Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '@db3'. .....
Don't let the line numbers fool you. They refer to the number of lines since the last 'go' in the script. As you can see, the @db1 and @dbf1 variables are evaluating correctly.
WHAT I AM TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH: I am attempting to change the setting of the Transaction Log to grow to fill up the entire disk. I do not wish to limit the space at this time. I have approximately 200 servers to manage and this script would be most useful in managing them, if it only worked.
Should I be using a different function to change the settings on the Transaction Log? Something other than ALTER DATABASE?
I want to change database in my SQL-script like this: DECLARE @DB_NAME varchar(30) SELECT * FROM @DB_NAME.dbo.TableName, but it is syntactically incorrect. I could use USE (@DB_NAME) but I write Stored Procedure, it is not allowed using USE statement in any Stored Procedures.
I have a MS SQL server DB which stores tables and queries and a MS Access DB which acts as an interface and stores Forms. I am a MS Access Developre and this is my first MS Sql Server DB. I would like to know how can i pass a variable which is an object in a Form (In MS Access DB) to a query in MS SQL?
In MS Access( i mean mdb file which all tables, queries and forms are in one mdb file)it is very easy, for example if you would like to pass idfld from Form of frminfo to a query you can say: Where idname like " & Forms!frminfo!idfld , but it does not work on MS SQL. Would you please tell me how can i use a variable in MS SQL query?
I'm working on a DTS package that runs against development databases. At some point I'll move it to qual for testing, and I'll have to change names of servers and credentials for some of the connections. Can I do that with global variables? BOL aren't very helpful about this.
To be more specific. I'll have one "master" package that will be kicking off other packages. I've found in help that I can use dtsrun to pass variables - so I'm assuming that DBAs moving packages from one environment to another will adjust parameters passed by dtsrun to the "master" package. But how does the "worker" package reference global variable from the "master" package? And how do I reference global variable inside the "worker" package so that it's value is used for any of the properties I see when clicking on "disconnected properties" (like server name or user name)?
Is there some sort of tutorial out there that explains use of global variables?
Basically I am creating a wizard(using forms) within a database to import client files and reformat them into the format that we need.
I have a form that list all 26 column headings that I need and tied to each column headings is a combo box that that lists the column headings from the imported client file.
I need to create a query that either appends it to an already formatted file or creates a new table with the column headings.
The problem is the field headings from the imported file change. This is the sql that I used that doesn't work:
INSERT INTO Formatted_Data ( Field X ) SELECT Imported_Data.Forms![Import Data-3]![Combo33] FROM Imported_Data;
Because Imported_Data.Forms![Import Data-3]![Combo33] is not recognized. I think if I could create a variable to replace the Forms! part then it would work but I do not know how to do this,
I have a simple task flow which takes data from an external table and puts it into a SQL server table. In the SQL server table I have a column which flags the data source. I have set up a variable in the variable window to hold a constant which was the appropriate value for the column. I cannot see how to map the variable I have created to the column in my output table.
Not sure if variables do what I think they do, can anyone give me a simple overview, and point me in the right direction to add my constant into the output table.
Is the only way to get a SSIS variable to change values via a configuration file or table? I thought that at one point in developing some SSIS packages that if I changed the value of a variable in a script that value was then retained.
bla...well, i don't know if my syntax is right but what im trying todo is...
set a varialbe for my timestamps so i cant change them when needed...thus my sp can run automatically...
DECLARE @startTime AS varchar(100)
SET @startTime = '2007-07-09 00:00:00.000'
From Memberaccountdetails M1 where M1.Participantid = AL4.ParticipantID) AND
AL6.WorkDate={ts '2007-07-17 00:00:00.000'} AND AL1.IntendedSettlementDate BETWEEN {ts @startTime} AND {ts '2007-07-16 00:00:00.000'} AND AL1.TransactionType='DEL')
the highlighted red timestamp is what i need to achieve from a variable...
When i add this variable to the query i get the following message
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Syntax error or access violation
I want to return the results of a select statement and tie the results to a variable, is it possible?
DECLARE @variable datatype SELECT @variable = 'SELECT * FROM TABLE'
SELECT @variable
If I execute this statements i would get the "select * from table" since thats what my variable is set to but I want to return the results of the select statement as the value of the variable.
I got an SSIS package with an OLE DB connection (Access) and SQL server connection. I'm trying to copy some tables in the OLE DB connection to the SQL server without creating individual data flow tasks. I was able to create blank tables with the same table names as the Access database using a ForEach container loop.
Now I tried executing a similar method to copy the data from the Access database to their corresponding table in the SQL server database. It gave me an error saying the SQL statement is incomplete. I tried executing a very simple SQL statement connected to the OLE DB connection: select * from @curtableName where @curtableName is the current table the ForEach container loop is looking at. Again same error occurs.
My question is, is there a way for me to execute this SQL statement? Or will I have to create a data flow task for each individual table?
I am trying to set this up with variables instead of the file path and table name, so if they change I do not have to change them everywhere. But when I change it from the string 'c:file.csv' to "' + @fileName + "' it errors. Is it possible to do this or am I just missing something?
Code Snippet
DECLARE @doesExist INT
DECLARE @fileName VARCHAR(200)
DECLARE @myTableName VARCHAR(20)
SET @fileName = 'c:file.csv' --variable
SET @myTableName = 'my_table_name_here' --variable
Is it possible to see either user variables or system variables from VSA? I€™ve been looking for any option but I don€™t see nothing similar. In fact, I am really thinking regarding old dts 2000 when you had a VbScript Task and you could see perfectly all the global variables defined in your package.
