Hello,
I was wondering if there is any method that I can use to determine if a field (defined as text) has any character fields or is really a number. I want to figure out if a field is truly all numeric, and out of curiosity, was wondering if there was a way in SQL or T-SQL.
Thanks.
I have a feeling I'll be forced to use a script and a trigger for thistype of field format but I'm wondering if any of your wizards couldpoint at a simple way I could do something like this:For example, if I want to be able to keep track of new orders followingthis incrementing convention:ORD100000001ORD100000002ORD100000003.... etc ...Does MSSQL2000 have features that I can simply set for this kind offield or will I be resorting to writing up a SQL script and a trigger?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI'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.
Hi..
I m working on MS SQL Server 2000.
I am trying to pass a list of numbers to a stored procedure to be used with 'IN()' statement.
I was doing something like..
Create Procedure proc
(
@Items varchar(100) --- List of numbers
)
AS Begin
Declare @SQL varchar(8000)
Set @SQL =
'
Select Query......
Where products IN (' + @items + ') '
'
Exec (@SQL)
This stored procedure is working fine, but when i m adding more required stuff to that, the size exceeds 8000, & it gives the error "Invalid operator for data type. Operator equals add, type equals text."
Can any1 please help me out with this ASAP??

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?

I have a table with a column ID of ContentID. The ID in that column is all NULLs. I need a way to change those nulls to a number. It does not matter what type of number it is as long as they are different. Can someone point me somewhere with a piece of T-SQL that I could use to do that. There are over 24000 rows so cursor change will not be very efficient.
Thanks for any help

In my application I must store over 16000 character in a sql table field . When I split into more than 1 field it gives "unclosed quotation mark" message.
How can I store over 16000 characters to sql table field (only one field) with language specific characters?
Thanks
I have an 'ID' column. I'm up to about ID number 40000, but not all are in use, so ID 4354 might not be in any row. I want a list of all numbers which aren't in use. I want to write something like this:
select [numbers from 0 to 40000] where <number> not in (select distinct id from mytable)
but don't know how. Any clues?
I'm trying to write data to excel from an ssis component to a excel destination.
Even thought I'm writing numerics, every cell gets this error with a green tag:
Convert numbers stored as text to numbers
Excel Cells were all pre-formated to accounting 2 decimal, and if i manually type the exact data Im sending it formats just fine.
I'm hearing this a common problem -
On another project I was able to find a workaround for the web based version of excel, by writing this to the top of the file:
<style>.text { mso-number-format:@; } </style>
is there anything I can pre-set in excel (cells are already formated) or write to my file so that numerics are seen as numerics and not text.
Maybe some setting in my write drivers - using sql servers excel destination.
So close.. Thanks for any help or information.
Hi everybody,
I would like to know if there is any property in sql2000 database to separate lowercase characters from uppercase characters. I mean not to take the values €˜child€™ and €˜Child€™ as to be the same. We are transferring our ingres database into sqlserver. In ingres we have these values but we consider them as different values. Can we have it in sqlserver too?

I have been using VB6 for a long time now and had no problems using ADODB.Recordset.I had a module to which I would send my recordset (byref) and the SQL command (byval) and use the resultant recordset for adding, modifying or deleting records.How can I do the same with VS2005? This is a major problem as there are dataadapters, grids, datareaders etc.Does someone have a simple method to get the recordset so that I can modify the record using the code (eg: .Addnew/.Delete/.Update) and Close the connection?Please note that I do not need to display anything and have to run 40/50 AddModDel for every click of the program.Any help is greately appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

The concept is a stroke of genius but I'm having trouble getting it to work on one of production databases.
I successfully used the Northwind example explained at Stephen Forte's site (see the link above)...but no luck on my real world problems.
I can get the date statements to resolve to 0 correctly, but when I try to aggregate the data - the statements are turning into 1 multiplying the aggregate data for each cell...which fills in the same data across the entire row.
For example (the columns represent the time period),
GROUP T1 T2 T3 T4
group1 9 9 9 9
group2 3 3 3 3
group3 5 5 5 5
My sql code is:
SELECT dbo.tblHassBatch.ProdLine,
COUNT((dbo.tblHassUUT.UnitID)*(1-ABS(SIGN(datediff(dd,dbo.tblHassBatch.StartTime,ge tdate())-0)))) AS Today,
COUNT((dbo.tblHassUUT.UnitID)*(1-ABS(SIGN(datediff(ww,dbo.tblHassBatch.StartTime,ge tdate())-0)))) AS [This Week],
COUNT((dbo.tblHassUUT.UnitID)*(1-ABS(SIGN(datediff(mm,dbo.tblHassBatch.StartTime,ge tdate())-0)))) AS [This Month],
COUNT((dbo.tblHassUUT.UnitID)*(1-ABS(SIGN(datediff(mm,dbo.tblHassBatch.StartTime,ge tdate())-1)))) AS [Last Month]
FROM dbo.tblHassBatch INNER JOIN
dbo.tblHassUUT ON dbo.tblHassBatch.BatchID = dbo.tblHassUUT.BatchID
GROUP BY dbo.tblHassBatch.ProdLine
Am I overlooking something here? I'm pulling my hair out b/c if this works it's really going to provide a great solution for a project I'm working on...but I can't seem to figure it out.
Any help is appreciated.

I'm not really strong in SQL. My goal is to compare the beginning mileage of a vehicle record with it's previous ending mileage reading. I have something that works, but it feels clunky. I wonder if there is a better method, ie a join. Here's what I have:
SELECT A.Trolley_num, A.Date, A.Speedo_start, A.Speedo_end,
(SELECT B.Speedo_end FROM Daily_Trolley AS B
WHERE B.Trolley_num = A.Trolley_num
AND B.Date =
(SELECT Max(Date) FROM Daily_Trolley AS C WHERE C.Trolley_num = A.Trolley_num
And C.Date < '1/23/2005')) AS PrevSpeedoEnd
FROM Daily_Trolley AS A
WHERE A.Date='1/23/2005'
ps: I inherited this db; I'm aware that "Date" should not have been used as a field name.
'TOP 1' or 'DISTINCT' or 'MAX'
Any sugestions on which is better to use if I need to select a record that has the highest value - could be a INT or sometimes a DATETIME.

I've a question regarding SSRS 2005.
Is there an efficient scripting method to update the connection string for ALL reports that reside on a reporting/web server? "(automating the process, rather than having to change the data source for each individual report that resides on that server)".
All suggestions are highly appreciated .
Thanks,

View 5 Replies View RelatedGreetings SSIS friends
I want to implement the following query using SSIS Data flow Source component :
SELECT * FROM someTable WHERE someColumn = 'H'
How do I restrict the data coming from my data source? By that I mean how do I apply the WHERE clause in SSIS?! Should I use a conditional Split component?! but that would mean retrieving all records first then adding the split component (not the most efficient method surely).
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
I need to add a value to a column that I know to be DT_CY. However, there is no PipelineBuffer.SetCurrency() method or anything similar.
I checked out the docs for PipelineBuffer.SetDecimal() and it states "If the DataType of the buffer column is not DT_NUMERIC, an UnsupportedBufferDataTypeException occurs"
Similarly for PipelineBuffer.SetDouble() it says "If the DataType of the buffer column is not DT_R8, an UnsupportedBufferDataTypeException occurs"
So it seems I can't use either of those two methods. How do I push a valueto an output column of DT_CY when building an async component?
By the way, I could ask the same about
DT_DBDATE
DT_DBTIME
DT_FILETIME
DT_IMAGE
DT_TEXT
DT_NTEXT
DT_R4
DT_UI1
as well because according to the documentation there doesn't seem to be a method that supports those either. So, please could you answer the same question for those as well!
Thanks

Hi,
I want to learn what is going on Example: Production Scheduling at http://msdn.microsoft.com/sql/learning/prog/clr/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnsql90/html/sqlclrguidance.asp
First, please interview Production Scheduling example. I'm curioing about SendResultsEnd method.
foreach (Item item in items)
{
// Compute the schedule and report it
item.ComputeSchedule();
item.OutputSchedule(pipe);
}
pipe.SendResultsStart(record);
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
// Pipe each day of production. Omit zero production
// days.
if (schedule != 0)
{
record.SetDateTime(1, (DateTime)(dates));
record.SetInt32(2, schedule);
pipe.SendResultsRow(record);
}
}
pipe.SendResultsEnd();
Second code block is a part of OutputSchedule method. When pipe.SendResultsEnd method executed. First code block moves to next item. If SendResultsEnd method sends a resultset to client. This code will send many of resultset to client how many items array has in. If it is sending many resultsets. How can client can catch them? I was confused about this situation. And I don't have SQL Server 2005 in my computer. If you test it and explain what is going on I'll be appreciate to you. Please review example in the link.
Thanks. Happy coding.
