I have a SQL Server 2000 table with a few fields of "text" data type
that contain rich text. I have to downstream this data and the
recipient cannot handle rich text. I need to figure out a way to
convert it back to plain text. Any suggetions?
TIA
Does anyone have the logic to convert RTF formatted data in a textcolumn into plain ascii text that I can use in a varchar variable orfield?We have an app that allows formatted comments/notes to be stored in aSQL 2000 text column. Ideally, I would like a trigger that would copyany inserted comments into a seperate table, varchar field so thatthese are viewable in other apps that can not display formatted RTF.I would really like the logic to be all SQL based and not have to use aclient app to read/convert/insert the data in a batch mode.

Greetings all.
I am currently working to improve the security on a legacy application we have at my company. The app was written in vb6 years ago. We now have the app running against a sql 2005 server. One of the function/screens in the application is used to administrate users. (each user has a sql user id) and one of the functions is to reset the password. The vb code uses a call to sp_password. Here is the problem. We setup a network sniffer and found the command being in plain text. While the user logon is encrypted ( SSL Fallback) the sp_password commands issued by the app are plan text. Anyone know of a way to make this encrypted?

View 5 Replies View RelatedHello List,
sorry to raise this again here. I have seen a lot of posts on this board about plain text rendering but never really a satisfactory answer. So my question is: Has anyone succeeded in developing a custom rendering extension which is able to render a report as plain text?
I am a Technical Lead in a project to convert and migrate reporting from Unix/C to Reporting Services 2005. One requirement is, to render the reports in plain text for archiving purposes. I know that there are a million options out there to archive in PDF and whatever. Well, we need plain text. No way around it! It is a governmental requirement!
I am about to pull the plug on SSRS 2005 just because we are not able to fulfill this requirement. And we are talking about a big project converting >700 reports!
Challenges we are facing:
Reporting components are rendered as they appear in a compnent list, one after each other. If you now have two multiline components side by side, i.e. two lists, the first list component in the array gets rendered and then the other. This makes it almost impossible to render the lines in those two components side by side. In the sample below, the Report Header would be rendered, then the Address block, then the Other Data block, then the Order History Table and then the Account Statement table.
Positioning of text boxes is almost impossible. We are able to find out how many centimeters/inches/millimeters/points a control is located from the left border. But how can we translate this into i.e. how many spaces will we need to add for padding?
The column width can't be determined. SSRS adds a line break if the cell text is longer than the column width.
We have reports which look something like this:
Code Block
Code Block
REPORT NAME
MANAGER NAME
ACCOUNT
REPORT DATE
First Name: XXXXXXXXXXXX Other Data: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Last Name: XXXXXXXXXXXX More Data: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Address: XXXXXXXXXXXX More Data: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
City: XXXXXXXXXXXX
Order History Account Statement
XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX
I also got some advice that SSRS is probably the wrong tool. And I also read this in some of the "Plain Text" posts here. And I am actually surprised about this. People suggest to look for some other tool and not use i.e. email subscrptions, other rendering formats, SSRS security model, snapshot history, report models and all the other goodies only because we can't render in simple text?
If anyone has any information to share, I would very much appreciate it. We also looked at third party tools and plug ins but couldn't find any! If anyone knows of a company who would be able to help us, let me know!
I really would love to pull this project off with SSRS 2005 because I Iike the technology and SSRS provides a lot of functionality we want to leverage. I believe SSRS is the right tool for us and it covers 95% of our business requirements! But at this stage it doesn't look very rosy! Because of the Plain Text rendering!

Hello.
I'm wondering how I CONVERT or CAST a column of type TEXT to INT with T-SQL ?
Also, is there anyway to catch an error in a Stored Procedure. For example if you try to convert a CHAR column to INT when the column has an 'a' in it, can I try to convert and if it did't work I do something else ?
Or is there a way to check if a column has only numbers ?
Thanks for any help, the CONVERT Text to Int is the most urgent ...

Dear all,
I have 30 tables with the same stracture (01 to 30). One of the fields is duration but has a text data type.
Is there a way to convert the duration field into "Time" date type with format "Long Time" using one query only?
If i have to have one query for each table, can i create a new query or a procedure through a command button that runs all the queries?
Thank you

I want to merge data from two different tables that have the same column names but different datatypes.
Table one has a varchar field pubdate_full that includes a date formatted as text like this: '2005-04-15'.
Table two has a smalldatetime field called Hard_NYP and a varchar pubdate field that includes just the year (eg '2007').
I want to Select data in table two and return a pubdate_full field that has either the datepub or the Hard_due. If the Hard_due is not null or '1/1/1900 12:00:00 AM' then I want to fill pubdate_full with that value, otherwise fill it with the pubdate value.
This works in that regard:
SELECT Hard_due, datepub
CASE WHEN (Hard_due <> '1/1/1900 12:00:00 AM') AND
(Hard_due IS NOT NULL) THEN Hard_Due ELSE datepub END AS pubdate_full from inventory
The question is, how do I convert pubdate_full on the fly to be the same format and datatype as the Table one pubdate_full or vice versa in order to be able to merge the two tables?
Many thanks in advance.

I have a number of bit datatypes ( Boat types: Cruiser, Sportfisher, Megayacht, Sailboat) that I would like to place in a text box and do away with the individual selections. For instance, some marinas cater to "Cruiser", "Megayacht" and "Sailboat" while others include the "Sportfisher" also and there are many other combinations of vessels. I am stumped at how to write a query that takes the existing "True" values for each boat type and places them in a text box in the form of
" Cruisers, Megayachts, Sailboats" .
Thanks in advance for possible solutions.
I have a source DB that contains a BLOB which is really a bunch of text. I am trying to use SSIS to read this BLOB and stream the chars as text to a flat file which will later be FTP'ed to another server and reloaded as nvarchar records.
In my data flow task I have my source (SQL DB BLOB) and target (Flat File) of course...in between I am using a script component to try and convert the BLOB. Here is my code:
Dim intBlobLength As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(Row.denoteblob.Length)
Dim intFinish As Integer = intBlobLength - 1
Dim byteBlob(intFinish) As Byte
byteBlob = Row.denoteblob.GetBlobData(0, intFinish)
Row.outdenoteline. = byteBlob
Row.outdebtorrowid = Row.debtorrowid
I get a pipeline is to small error. I cant seem to adjust the size of the outdenoteline within the script componenet.
please help!

I m trying to sum up some varchar-typed field. I need to convert it to float before doing the summing up so I m using "Cast".
I do get the answer but its not the correct figure. My SQL statement is as follow:
SELECT Sum((Cast(Qty1 as float)) + (Cast(Qty2 as float))) as intAnswer FROM TableName
Please help.
I wish to return a list of selected integers as a single string. So instead of getting
24
36
48
I get 24/36/48.
My select query:
SELECT CONVERT (varchar(10), quantity) + '/' FROM flexing_stock_transactions WHERE item = 'CH' AND week = 35 GROUP BY quantity ORDER BY quantity
returns
24/
36/
48/
How can I achieve my goal please?
Hi experts;
How can I generate the result using typical SQL statement based on the following tables?
Table a - Salesman (salesId, Name) pk : salesId
Table b - Invoice(InvoiceNo, salesId, InvoiceAmt) pk : invoiceNo fk : salesId -> Table a
The result set :
salesId, Name, sum(InvoiceAmt), InvoiceNos with comma separator
For example:
Table a
SalesId Name
S001 Peter
S002 Alice
Table b
InvoiceNo SalesId InvoiceAmt
INV001 S001 $100
INV002 S001 $100
INV003 S001 $400
INV004 S002 $200
Result set
SalesId Name Sum(InvoiceAmt) InvoiceNos
S001 Peter $600 INV001, INV002, INV003
S002 Alice $200 INV004

Hello. I am really new to sql server. I have a db in the server that I use for testing. i want to export it in plain sql so as to import it in another db system. How can I do it?
thank you a lot.
Hi.
I'm quit new into SQL - have a problem - and hope someone here ca n help me.
I have a table TABLE1 with different fields. A part of it looks like this:
FIELD1 FIELD2 FIELD3
111111 121212 0
111111 121212 91
222222 232323 0
222222 232323 73
etc. etc.
I want to "copy"/write over '0' in FIELD3 with the number in FIELD3 from the line that has the same numbers (and unique for these two lines) in FIELD1 and FIELD2. The table will then look like this:
FIELD1 FIELD2 FIELD3
111111 121212 91
111111 121212 91
222222 232323 73

Why this won't work. POST_DT is nvarchar(50). I know it should be datetime but, I have no control over it. That's why I'm creating a temp table. But, I want to only insert the most recent invoice. There is code to create test data at the end.
create table #FSC589

GRP__2 char(1),
INV_NUM char(8),
MRN varchar(10),

I've got a field I'm trying to convert into a date format as it currently sits as a text field. The date setup is of the format DD/MM/YYYY. Some of the fields are NULL, however for the sake of filling in gaps I've just set the nulls to '01-01-1905'.

Hi,
I got a qry that takes 10s. This is off course too long.
As I described in my earlier posts, I'm no sql hero, but I'm on a neverending quest to improve.
Currently I need a select statement over several (7) tables and return fields from almost all of them.
Furthermore I have optional restrictions on fields spread over all those tables, based on a set of parameters.
What I initially do is inner join all my tables and then have a big where clause that adds where-rules depending on the arguments given.
Like so:
select c.clr_id, n.clr_nm, co.long_nm, p.paint_cd, a.appl_desc, m.modl_nm, y.yr_num
from CLR c
inner join paint_cd p
on c.clr_id = p.clr_id
inner join clr_use_yr y
on y.clr_id = c.clr_id
inner join co
on co.co_id = c.co_id
inner join modl m
on y.modl_id = m.modl_id
inner join clr_appl ca
on c.clr_id = ca.clr_id
inner join appl a
on ca.appl_cd = a.appl_cd
inner join clr_nm n
on c.clr_id = n.clr_id
WHERE
(CASE @regn when '' THEN '' ELSE n.regn_cd END) like (CASE @regn when '' THEN '' ELSE @regn END)
AND (CASE @co when '' THEN '' ELSE co.long_nm END) like (CASE @co when '' THEN '' ELSE @co END)
AND (CASE @clrNm when '' THEN '' ELSE n.clr_nm END) like (CASE @clrNm when '' THEN '' ELSE @clrNm END)
AND (CASE @paintCd when '' THEN '' ELSE p.paint_cd END) like (CASE @paintCd when '' THEN '' ELSE @paintCd END)
AND (CASE @applDc when '' THEN '' ELSE a.appl_desc END) like (CASE @applDc when '' THEN '' ELSE @applDc END)
AND (CASE @useYear when '' THEN '' ELSE cast(y.yr_num as varchar(4)) end) like (CASE @useYear when '' THEN '' else @useYear END)
AND (CASE @modlNm when '' THEN '' ELSE m.modl_Nm END) like (CASE @modlNm when '' THEN '' ELSE @modlNm END)
It appeared to me that by getting those where clauses in the join, I would limit the calculations. So the joins where similar to this:
inner join paint_cd p
on c.clr_id = p.clr_id
AND (CASE @paintCd when '' THEN '' ELSE p.paint_cd END) like (CASE @paintCd when '' THEN '' ELSE @paintCd END)
The result though, was exactly the same.
So, where in my thinking am I wrong and what is the correct way to go about this?
Good Morning Kristen:
Thank You, You are the first person, that has given me a clear answer. I am going to explain in plain English What this SP is suppose to do.
I have to find any station_nbr that has more than one group_code and that the current date = (DATEADD(mm,DATEDIFF(mm,0,dateadd(mm,-0-datepart(day,0),getdate())),0) The current date starts with the first day of the previous month.
Example today is October 10, 2007 I need September 01, 2007 for this query.
To insert the record it needs to be active meaning that the current date is in between Beg_eff_date and end_eff_date, and the end_eff_date is = ‘12/31/3000’
I need to write SP(cursor) that reads line by line this table and that insert the answer: INSERT INTO #TP_TIES_OVerlaping_Dates.
Example:
Current_date: 09/01/2007
Group_Code Station_nbr beg_eff_date end_eff_date
0000003 00371101 03/12/2006 12/31/3000
0000016 00371101 07/08/2007 12/31/3000
The above explanation is for the first type of Error.
The second Type of Error:
If the Group Code ends with "W" and the End_effective_date = '12/31/3000' and the W_Beg_date is Part of the Temp Table(I to create the W_Beg_Date Column) -- is GREATER than the End_eff_date. I want to Insert this Record into the Table. I need to set sometype of Record Control to make the different between one error to another one.
I thank you so much for your help.....I hope this is clear to understand for everybody.

Hello All,
We are trying to figure out how to make a stored procedure call and pass some inputs using C# and plain ADO. We are able to call an empty stored procedure but cannot pass parameters into a stored procedure.
Does anyone have sample code in C# whereby we can open a connection and pass inputs into a stored procedure? The following is a sample code we are using:
ADODB.Parameter param = new ADODB.Parameter();
param=cmd.CreateParameter("@StoreID", ADODB.DataTypeEnum.adInteger, ADODB.ParameterDirectionEnum.adParamInput,sizeof(int) , 9);
cmd.Parameters.Append(param);
ADODB.Recordset rsInv = cmd.Execute(out objAffected, ref objAffected,-1 );
In the above example, we create a parameter of type integer and try to add it to the ADO Command object. It is supposed to return a recordset. It returns a recordset with record count -1.
Sincerely,
Dwight Kulkarni
