Jul 23, 2005Does 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.

Oct 1, 2007Greetings 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 RelatedPlain Text Rendering - Again!
Nov 29, 2007Hello 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!
Cheers

Convert Text To Int
Feb 23, 2001Hello.
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 ...

Convert Text To Time

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

HT Convert Datetime To Text On The Fly
Apr 24, 2007I 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.

How To Convert Bit Datatype To Text
Mar 24, 2008I 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.
Convert BLOB To Text

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!

Convert Text Pulled From SQL Databse To UPPER And Lower, Etc
Aug 29, 2006I'm still haven't resolved the issue with displaying information from a SQL database. The text I'm displaying is in ALL CAPS in the SQL database, and I'm trying to convert it so that when I display it in gridview, The First Letter Of Each Word Is Capitalized, as apposed to ALL CAPS. I've tried the text-transform feature of CSS, but I noticed in a SQL book there are LOWER() & UPPER() string functions. The ideal thing to do then, would be to do some select statement that converts all the incoming text to lowercase, then use the CSS text-transform: capitalize , to convert the first letter of each word to caps. Basically, I need a select statement or something that converts my sql material to lowercase. Thanks.
