Hi All -I am updating four values. What is the proper syntax to have thefollowing 4 update statements as one statement?set objRec = objDB.Execute("Update orientform set session = '" &strSession & "' where id = '" & strid & "'")set objRec = objDB.Execute("Update orientform set fname = '" & strfname& "' where id = '" & strid & "'")set objRec = objDB.Execute("Update orientform set gender = '" &strgender & "' where id = '" & strid & "'")set objRec = objDB.Execute("Update orientform set lname = '" & strlname& "' where id = '" & strid & "'")Thanks,Joey
I addressed this situation in another thread, but since the thread had not been updated for some time I felt a new thread may have been warranted to included uptodate information and requests for further updates.
I will refresh the topic's primary issue:
When using a matrix, a developer wanted to provide column headers atop the columns to help users distinquish between multiple columns of the same relative data type(columns of digits, etc.)
The space in the upper left corner of the matrix will create a void that cannot be broken down or divided so that a column header label can be applied. It's either one label for the whole void or nothing at all.
The problem is that when the report is run and rendered the rectangle txboxes are no longer aligned at the bottom. Even though the text within the textboxes is set to the bottom. Instead the rendered version appears like this.
Thus rather than having the labels inside the rectangle textboxes aligned at the bottom so that they appear more in-line with their assigned columns, they are automatically top-justified and this makes the labels look awkward.
So does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get the rectangle textboxes to be aligned adjacent to the tops of the row columns so that their labels appear in-line with their appropriate columns?
I have the Excel Connection Manager and Source to read the contents from an Excel file. For some reason couple of numeric fields from the Excel worksheet are brought over as nulls even though they have a value of 300 and 150. I am not sure why this is happening. I looked into the format of the fields and they are set to General in Excel, I tried setting them to numeric and that did not help.
All the other content from the excel file is coming thru except for the 2 numeric fields.
I tried to bring the contents from the excel source to a text file in csv format and for some reason the 2 numeric fields came out as blank.
Any inputs on getting this addressed will be much appreciated.

We have 10 sheets in Excel File and 10 sheet contains errror data. How to load 9 sheets data in to 1 destination and error data in to other destination?
i have an SSIS package that exports to an excel file. This works fine. the problem is that it appends the data instead of overwriting the file. Is there any way to overwrite the file like you can with a flat file? I have to email the file everyweek and don't want to have to clear it out manually. Any help would be appreciated
Good Day to all, Hope you could help me w/ my project. Im creating a DTS Package. The source data will be coming from an excel file going to my SQL table. The DTS package is scheduled to execute daily, but the source data will be coming from different excel filename. Example, today the DTS will get data from Data092506.xls. Then tomorrow, the data will be coming from Data092606.xls. How can I do this? The DTS I've already done has a fixed source data file. Please help. Thank you so much. God Bless.
I would like to set up a job to send mail out to clients on a semi-regular basis. Is there a way to mail directly from MS SQL.
or some application which I can set to interface with MS SQL and send these mails out.
I'm currently using asp.net, however, doing it through the web is very time consuming, I would much rather use some application to generate the mails on the server as it currently takes close to 20 min to send through the web interface (and that's only to 900 members, we are looking at having at least 2000 members in a few weeks). What am I looking for is something I can call perhaps with transact sql so I can run it through an ms sql server job, however any solution you have would be fantastic.
If you don't have specific details, that's fine, I'm not even sure what apps etc to look into, even a name of some technology to use (or does MS SQL have a way of doing all of this itself?)
I am running SQL Server Enterprise Manager and i would like to have a query run everynite and send the results returned by the query off to an email address....
Hi everyone I have a database that I am creating for another department. He emails applications to potential vendors. And I was wanting sql to do this for him. I was reading about xtended procedures XP_Sendmail, but this is the first time I have created an extended stored procedure. I need for it to email an attachment (the report)
I have a DTS package that runs 4x a day and generates an excel spreadsheet, renames that spreadsheet with a datetime stamp and then places it into a folder on our network. I have been asked to email that spreadsheet to someone everytime the package runs.
My question is what would be the best way to handle this and how do I ensure that whatever process I define grabs the correct file? The folder that the Excel file is being placed into has multiple files in it. Is there a way to tell SQL Server which file to grab and email?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
I'm sort of new to SSIS so I apologize if this is a trivial question:
I setup a package and want it to email me if there is any errors. Right now I got it working to send me a pre-written message about the failure, but I want to load the full task failure message into variable and email it on the email body.
But so far I have not found a way to save the error messages into variables so I can email them. Anyone can help with that one?
I need to export a view into excel and mail to my manager daily morning. Is there a way i can automate this process. I know how to convert view to excel but i need a better solution to automate this process with emailing to my mgr. Please suggest a better approach of doing this.
I have a ssis package where I need to have excel destination. Â In the Excel file, I need to have few rows with some text and then populate data below the text. One the text is like this:
Data as of: Â 08/25/2015
if the report ran today, then Data as of will have Yesterday. So, if the user opens that excel file after a week, then user should see same  Data as of:  08/25/2015. not today()-day(1).
I was planing to handle on excel side with today()-day(1). but it only works the day it was run. Then the excel file is open after few days later, then it might as Data as of:  08/30/2015 which is not true. It should still stay Data as of:
 08/25/2015 on what ever date the excel file is open. The SSIS package  runs only once.Â
How do I handle this so that whenever user open the file, they will see Data as of:  08/25/2015. This is not a column in excel. It is like a description of data in excel.
its my flow in one of my packates (ETL job) Excel file contains monthly revenue details, i wanna import the excel data to my database staging table, so i've created the package. its working fine...
Problem if we change the new data for the next month and running the package its not running; the same file, same format, only we delete the contents, of the file except first row of the excel sheet, and pasting the new data; new data is coming from Oracle DataBase in the form of excel sheet ( manually they will copy the data and sending to us)
i open that package in design mode and while double clicking the excel file source it says <column name>'s Meta Data needs to be synchronized Do you want to Fix this issue automatically with the available external column's meta data
Clearly noted that its a data type issue; i have changed the corresponding data types as it is in the previous Excel sheet which is equivalant to the Table its copying to.
now the package is running with validation warnings, External Column "Invoice Amount" needs to be updated...etc. some 2 or three warning messages i can able to see in the package Execution wizard,
ok, i'm ready to accept these warnings, and i want my package running from my server;( packages had been deployed in to the Centeralized server; every time if we want to run the package, we have the asp.net webpage, that is executing the package in an On_click event)
The package is not running from the server, its due to the meta data change in the Excel file( i guess)
please suggest me some guide lines to resolve this meta data issue, i want my excel sheet meta data should not change when we have new updates in it;
otherwise suggest me some solutions that i can validate the excel sheet before running the package and testing whether the data is in correct format or not? its a kind of Data Profiling activity;
i know its some what crazy, but i need to maintain the system with permanent solution, instead of facing this meta data mismatch issue!!!
some what lenthy explanation--> its needed for my dear powerful microsoft responders. i think i 've explained my problem clearly, if i don't let me know your queries, i'll try my level best.
I am deploying programatically an Excel 2007 file to a SQL Server 2005 Reporting Server. The problem is that if a file with the same name already exists, that file isn't replaced. I would like the opposite to happen. I'm using the following code:

Whenever a certain stored procedure executes I need to email both admin and clients (different messages). I have created an error within the SP and can RAISE the error and thus notify admin staff but how can i email the client also ? I can obtain the cient email address from thye system but how can i email them ? Can i use xp_sendmail within a stored procedure ? If so, how as i can't seem to get it working ?
Hi there! Is there a way, I can setup create a script that I can schedule, which runs through my user databases and if e.g.: 1:) there is less than 20% free space it emails me. and/or 2:) there is less than 200MB free space it emails me.
I hope someone can help me with this - I started receiving this error message in the past month or so when I open a csv report and save it as an Excel file in a folder I use on my VPN and in My Documents. It does not show up when I save it to my Desk Top.
I have Microsoft Office Student and Teacher and Office XP Professional installed on my notebook. I tried to uninstall Office XP and it would not let me. Something about a "patch could not be opened......"
I am trying to use €œSQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio€? (what is the short name for this) to complete a check and then possibly email me depending on what happens.
The check is around two tables that I have. There is a chance that they will become out of sync with each other and so I want to know when a field (ACCOUNTID) has a value that is in one table and not the other. I can do the check but I would like the package to email me when there is a problem (and if possible email me the details) and do nothing when everything is OK.
Can anybody give me some hints to point me in the correct direction as I just seem to be chasing my tail at the moment,
I have many short messages in a table. I need to tigh them together in one long email message and email to the users. But xp_sendmail is limited to 7,790. How could I send longer messages? Or how could I devide the long message and send it in parts (i.e. separate consequtive emails)?
This doesn't work, it still cuts the messages off at around 7,790: E. Send messages longer than 7,990 characters
This example shows how to send a message longer than 7,990 characters. Because message is limited to the length of a varchar (less row overhead, as are all stored procedure parameters), this example writes the long message into a global temporary table consisting of a single text column. The contents of this temporary table are then sent in mail using the @query parameter. CREATE TABLE ##texttab (c1 text) INSERT ##texttab values ('Put your long message here.') DECLARE @cmd varchar(56) SET @cmd = 'SELECT c1 FROM ##texttab' EXEC master.dbo.xp_sendmail 'robertk', @query = @cmd, @no_header= 'TRUE' DROP TABLE ##texttab
I'm hoping someone here will be able to guide me in the right direction. I am trying to figure out a way of looping through table columns or a flat file in which there will be three parameters every time. With these parameters I am then wanting to run a report using two of these parameters to feed into the report and then email this out to an email address which would be my third parameter. Does anyone here have any idea how I would go about doing this?
I'm importing a multi tab spreadsheet using Import wizard, which I understand to use the same internals as SSIS. The total number of columns in the spread sheet will be over 500. The import wizard defaults everything to varchar 255. I understand there is an XML file I can manipulate to change this and they are located
I am trying to create an alert when there are more than 2500 connections to our ailing SQL Server.However, for now, I need to restart the SQL server service because users begin complaining they can't connect.
1) I created an operator - me.
2) I created a job which runs a query.
INSERT INTO Sessions_alert SELECT host_name, program_name, login_name, count(c.session_id ) num_sessions, getdate() FROM sys.dm_exec_connections c JOIN sys.dm_exec_sessions s on c.session_id = s.session_id GROUP BY host_name,program_name,login_name ORDER BY 4 DESC
3) I created an alert - included the job from above. Type performance condition alert. Object - SQL Server General Statistics. Counter - User connections.Alert if counter rises above 50. Just testing. I really want to know when it gets past 2500.
4) I've set the alert to email and delay is between responses 2 minutes.
It history tables says number of occurences is 18964. However, I don't receive an email.
Shouldn't the alert send an email? Do I need to include email code in the job?
I want to send a deployed report (report manager), through email, by calling reportingServices webservice. But the requirement is that, time is not fixed for sending this email, so I want to trigger the sending of report as a one time event, no subscription to a daily time...
