Convert SQL Table Data To XML Format
Oct 31, 2006
Hello,
I need to convert a SQL table or SQL table data to XML format. I tried using the Import Export Wizard in SQL 2005 (used SQLXMLOLEDB and SQLXMLOLEDB 4.0 as the source). However, it didn't work. Any way you know how I can convert and obtain data in XML format?
Thanks all in advance,
Saurav

Using SQL Server 2005, I have set up a database for a school to provide timetables for students, teachers etc. The data is currently displayed in this form:
DAY LESSON YR SUBJ GRP STAFF ROOM
Mon 1 7 PE T Da Gym
Mon 2 7 PE T Da Gym
Mon 3 7 Ma A Pr 5
Mon 4 7 Ma A Pr 5
Mon 5 7 Ma A Pr 5
Mon 6 7 Dr T Fn 36
Mon 7 7 Dr T Fn 36
Mon 8 7 En T Bn 21
Mon 9 7 En T Bn 21
Tue 1 7 De T Df 27
Tue 2 7 De T Df 27
etc.
I would like to display this as timetable with DAYS as row headings and LESSON numbers as column headings, with the remaining column info. in the above table combined into one value:
1 2 3 4 etc
MON (7 PE T Da Gym) (7 PE T Da Gym) (7 Ma A Pr 5) (7 Ma A Pr 5)
TUE (7 De T Df 27) (7 De T Df 27) etc.
WED
THU
FRI
Should I be doing this with PIVOT (scares the life out of me ...) or is there some other solution? Many thanks.

i have 12 different sql server tables. all are binded to one gridview. i have kept one admin user to view the details of the 12 tables in a gridview (pagesize=5). now the admin wants to generate 12 CSV files from the 12 tables (that is, he has to choose the table name from a dropdown and then has to click "Generate" button. CSV file name should be like this "<table_name>_<date>" ). also want to put links(dynamically [after generation of those csv files]) in a separate page to download those csv files. how to do this in asp.net (C#)? its urgent.

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'.
I've tried to use CAST to change the data into a readable format for SQL Server however I tend to get one of two messages:
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.
-Or-
error converting data type varchar to date

Hi All,
I am stuck at one place, where I have to convert CSV format file data into SAP IDOC format file. In SSIS we don't have any such SAP adapter (though we have .NET Data Provider for mySAP suite [SSIS SAP Adapter] but this is still not fully supported by Microsoft, plus it doesn't have feature to convert data into IDOC format) that can do this. Can someone here please provide me some pointers on any third party adapters available in market to do this job or if anyone has already developed some custom approach to achieve this task?
Your quick response on this is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Kuldeep Chauhan

Using DTS package in 2000 version, I am dumping TXT file contents into SQL Table,
I have one column having date in format YYYYMMDD(20070929) and corresponding column in SQL is datetime, but it fails on data type mismatch.
I have no choice of making date column in SQL to string or Varchar etc,
is there any way to make that date column in SQL to convert the value upon transformation from format (YYYYMMDD) to M/DD/YYYY (9/29/2007).
many many thanks,

Hi everyone,I have some data in a CSV file, and I have to import it into a table. For some reason, I am supposed to import this data into a temp table and then move it to the original table and I have to convert it to the right data types while I do this. Is there a better way to do this and how can I give custom error messages saying, for e.g., the data type cannot be converted, the right number of records are not present etc.
Thanks for the help.

Hello All,
I uploaded custtable under the database, the data looks fine except that the name that apprears has a lot of distance e.g
it should be :
firstname lastname however the format appears very strange:
firstname lastname
firstname lastname
fistname lastname
Same is the case with the address, I need to adjust or format the apperance that appears on the cell. Is there a way/ sql statement to format the data under the table so that the apprearence looks okay.
I will really appreciate any sort of help on this one.
Thanks,
Rashi

Aloha !
I am posting this information simply as an FYI. This is in reference to the MS-SQL command "CONVERT"
I spent over 2 hours :rolleyes: screwing around trying to find out different ways of formatting dates from MS-SQL into something that makes sense for what I needed. I googled everything I could think of and found multiple references that said the info is available on MSDN.. but I could not find it. What I did find were thousands of relatively useless references to "format codes" for converting dates, but with no references to what the different format codes would ultimately yield, or what format codes were available to use.
What I ended up doing was writing a small script to generate a list of all of the variations I could find.
Below is the script, and the output that it yielded.
Now, before I get bombarded with "there is a better way" I know there probably is. But this is the way that I needed to do it this particular time. If there are technical errors in my explanation, anyone is welcome to correct them. But after 2 hours of messing with this for what should have been a super simple single .0009 second command, I am just irritated beyond belief that it had to be this complicated to find any useful information on the subject. That is why I am creating this. Hopefully it helps someone else.
The format for the MS SQL CONVERT command is :
CONVERT( length_of_output, date, format_code )
length_of_output : is exactly that . the number of characters that you want returned as your result. If you use a length of 6 you will only see the first 6 characters that are returned. I found the longest valid length to be 28 characters, but I went as high as 128 just for giggles and to see if it revealed any secrets.
date : is a valid date, I used directly the getdate() function
format_code : well.. that's the tricky part. See below.
What I did was ran a script that originally went from 1 to 20,000. It crashed at 15. Apparently the format codes are not totally sequential. So I put in an on error resume next.
What I found is that :
1) the codes are not uninterrupted sequential numbers.
2) the code output repeats every 255
3) negative numbers can be used, but its pointless.
4) useful valid codes are in the ranges of : 0-14, 20-25, 100-114, 120, 121, 126, 130 and 131
5) 0-25 typically represent "short dates" with the year being only 2 digits, but there are exceptions
6) 100 and above always returned a 4 digit year. the exception was 130 and 131, I don't know what it was trying to do.
Here is the script i ran
<%
on error resume next
for iintCounter = 0 to 256
SQL = "SELECT CONVERT(CHAR(128), getdate(), " & iintCounter & " ) as TheDate"
Set rsTheDateFormat = TheDatabase.Execute(SQL)
response.write SQL & " = " & rsTheDateFormat("TheDate") & "<br>"
set rsTheDateFormat = nothing
next
%>
and here is the output
SELECT CONVERT(CHAR(128), getdate(), 0 ) as TheDate = Aug 28 2007 6:46AM
SELECT CONVERT(CHAR(128), getdate(), 1 ) as TheDate = 08/28/07

I have these valuesÂ
100
900
1300
in int format , now i want to convert them to hh:mm:ss tt format in sql. How can this be done ? I have used this query
declare @nvsDateTime int;set @nvsDateTime = 100;
select convert(datetime, convert(varchar(10),CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,120) Â + ' ' + stuff(ltrim(@nvsDateTime),3,0,':') ) AS Answer
But it is only converting 100 and 1300 but not 900 and giving me this error :
Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 2
The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.
