Converting MS SQL Log File To SQL
Mar 3, 2004In Sybase, there is a tool called DBTRAN where you can convert the log file to series of SQL (good for tracing problems).
Is there a similar tool for Microsoft SQL Server?
Thanks.

Converting Mdb (Access File) File To A SQL Server Database
May 14, 2008
hello,
I'm not really sure my question belongs to here...
I have a database in Access (from microsoft office, of course), and I want to transfer convert it to SQL Server.
Does anyone know how I can do it? It must be very simple, but I haven't found it yet....
Thanks a lot!

Converting SQL Qry Into XML And Store As XML File
Nov 22, 2001Hi There,
My requirement is to read from a table in SQL 2000 and need to export the
data in a XML format with .XML in a flat file.
I don't want to do to use ADO or VB or any other external tools to do this. I want it to be purely done using SQL server within enviroment.
How to generate this kind of XML files from
SQL server?.
Kindest regards,

Oct 29, 2006Hi,
I have two postcode databases in .sql ready to dump into my existing database, the first sql file is 300megs and
the second one is 300k, the reason the second is so small is because it misses out the last 3 letters of the post
code, i dont need theese last 3 digits anyway.
Basically i want to convert the second file so that it is compatible for me to import it into my database and use.
the first file looks like this
INSERT INTO `ZIPCodes` VALUES ('AB101GY',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,57.1476,-2.0975);
INSERT INTO `ZIPCodes` VALUES ('AB101NP',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,57.1467,-2.1074);
INSERT INTO `ZIPCodes` VALUES ('AB101RQ',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,57.1467,-2.1107);
INSERT INTO `ZIPCodes` VALUES ('AB101TT',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,57.1431,-2.114);
INSERT INTO `ZIPCodes` VALUES ('AB101WX',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,0,0);
INSERT INTO `ZIPCodes` VALUES ('AB106AA',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,57.135,-2.1156);
INSERT INTO `ZIPCodes` VALUES ('AB106DE',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,57.1377,-2.1173);
And the second file looks like this:
insert into `hwz_postcodes` values ('postc',0,0,0,0),('AB10',392900,804900,57,-2),('AB11',394500,805300,57,-2),('AB12',393300,801100,57,-2),('AB13',385600,801900,57,-2),('AB14',383600,801100,57,-2),('AB15',390000,805300,57,-2),('AB16',390600,807800,57,-2),('AB21',387900,813200,57,-2),('AB22',392800,810700,57,-2),('AB23',394700,813500,57,-2),('AB25',393200,806900,57,-2),('AB30',370900,772900,56,-2),('AB31',368100,798300,57,-2),('AB32',380800,807200,57,-2),('AB33',355200,815100,57,-2),('AB34',350800
Is there any utility out there that can do this for me? What about the co-ordinates systems, they look incompatible,
so the converter would need to be able to convert the co-ordinates aswell. It would also need to add in all those nulls.
once the file is converted i would then import it through the sql command line.
Why am I such an SQL n00b!???

Converting A File Into Multiple Tables
Nov 15, 2006This file format has multiple levels (X12).One level could have one or more instances of thenext level contained within it. Kind of like XML,except that some sections have no end tags, and theones that do have end tags actually have a _different_tag for the end. (ISA ...IEA or GS ... GE)It's easy enough to read a line at a time, see whattype it is, and insert its parts into the appropriatetable. Keeping track of the keys of the parent levelfor relationships.But I'm wandering whether there's some (not impossiblycomplex) more efficient method with SQL and/or DTS.--Wes GroleauIf you put garbage in a computer nothing comes out but garbage.But this garbage, having passed through a very expensive machine,is somehow ennobled and none dare criticize it.
View 8 Replies View RelatedConverting Flat File To SQL2005 Table (Flat File From H***)
Feb 11, 2008First, a couple of important bits of information. Until last week, I had never touched SISS, and therefore, I know very little about it. I just never had the need to use it...until now. I was able to convert my first 3 flat files to SQL2005 tables by right clicking on "SISS Package" and choosing "SISS Import and Export Wizard". That is the extent of my knowledge! So please, please, please be patient with me and be as descriptive as possible.
I thought I could attach some sample files to this post, but it doesn't look like I can. I'll just paste the information below in two separate code boxes. The first code box is the flat file specifications and the second one is a sample single line flat file similar to what I'm dealing with (the real flat file is over 2 gigs).
My questions are below the sample files.

and the single line flat file...

As you can see, each entry could have any number of records and multiples of some of the record types, with one exception, every entry must have a "01" record and can only have one "01" record. Oh, and each record has a length of 400.
I need to get this information into a SQL 2005 database so I can create a front end for accessing the data. Originally, I wanted one line for each account and have null values listed for entries that don't have a specific record. Now that I've looked at the data again, that doesn't look like a good idea. I think a better way to do it would be to create 5 different tables, one for each record type. However, records 2 through 5 don't have anything I can make a primary key. So here are my questions...
Is it possible to make 5 tables from this one file, one table for each of the record types?
If so, can I copy the Account number in record 01, position 13-19 in each of the subsequent record types (that way I could link the tables as needed)?
Can this be done using the SISS Import and Export Wizard to create the package? If not, I'm going to need some very basic step by step instructions on how to create the package.
Is SISS the best way to do this conversion or is there another program that would be better to use?
I know this is a huge question and I appreciate the help of anyone who boldly decides to help me! Thank you in advance and I welcome anyone's suggestions!

Converting (too Big)Raw Into Hex
May 25, 2007Hi there,
Here at my work(in Germany) i have a big problem:
Once a week there is a sqlscript, which should run and store data to a txt file.
There is a tablle in which imagedata is stored in RAW format(that one with small boxes, Qmarks and dots...).
Now i want to export it to the txtfile as HEX, so i can decode it by php further.
With the thumbnail, also stores there everything is fine, the SQL looks that way:
SELECt hex(thumbnail) FROM picTable where id_pic=54985
The Data is then displayed as HEX. But the standart picture is to big. When i use the statement:
SELECt hex(bigpic) FROM picTable where id_pic=54985
i got the error message:
An error occurred while running the query.
The data type, length, or value of argument 1 of HEX is invalid.
(SQL code = -171, SQL state = 42815)
After some research i found that the maximum lenght is 16 336 bytes for the HEX-operation. The picture is nearly 30 000 bytes... :shocked:
Have anyone an idea how to fix that?
I am not able here to accsess to the database direct...
I have been working for days on it.

Converting From Dd.hh:mm:ss

Hello all,
I am subtracting two datetimes (last(fields!FaultStart.value))-(first(fields!FaultStart.value)) this works fine and returns a value in a textbox 5.23:44:23. I need to convert that number to minutes I am very new to sql programming and do not know very many commands. I am using Microsoft sql server 2005 express edition along with sql server business intelligence development studio where I placed a textbox and entered the expression above. I have also tried to use datediff command
=datediff(second, (last(fields!FaultStart.value)),(first(fields!FaultStart.value)))
but the second is underlined and tooltips says WRONG NUMBER OF ARGUMENTS I€™ve tried
=datediff(€œsecond€?, (last(fields!FaultStart.value)),(first(fields!FaultStart.value)))
and
=datediff(€œ€™second€™€?, (last(fields!FaultStart.value)),(first(fields!FaultStart.value)))
also for second I€™ve tried seconds. Any help would be most appreciated

Converting To UTC
Nov 8, 2007I haven't seen a really good solution for this in amongst the threads about UTC. What I want to do is convert a date time to UTC, taking into account whether or not it is in DST, and be able to deploy this code to any server in the world without customizing the SQL code, and have it know how to convert, as long as a I feed it the local Time Zone.
I would think this would be easy because the OS knows at any given time what time zone has what UTC offset, and exactly at what time DST starts and ends. Right now I do this, but it is limited. I have a table that, for each site (there can be more than one site in different time zones) stores the UTC offset and whether or not the site observes DST. New York would have the "Observes_DST" set to 1, Phoenix would have it set to zero. The "Hours_To_UTC" value would be 5 for New York.
This code below assumes all sites are located in Canada or the US, as Canada and the US now use the second Sunday in March and first Sunday in November as the switch over times. (although this would work fine for countries like India and China that don't observe DST).
UPDATE a
SET Time_Arrived_UTC =
CASE
WHEN b.Observes_DST = 1 THEN
CASE
WHEN Month(Time_Arrived) IN (4,5,6,7,8,9,10) THEN
DATEADD(hh,b.Hours_From_UTC - 1,Time_Arrived)
WHEN Month(Time_Arrived) = 3 AND Day(Time_Arrived)- DATEPART(dw,Time_Arrived) >= 7 AND
Day(Time_Arrived) <= 14 AND DATEPART(dw,Time_Arrived) <> 1
then DATEADD(hh,b.Hours_From_UTC - 1,Time_Arrived)
WHEN Month(Time_Arrived) = 3 AND Day(Time_Arrived) > 14
then DATEADD(hh,b.Hours_From_UTC - 1,Time_Arrived)
WHEN Month(Time_Arrived) = 3 AND Day(Time_Arrived) >= 8 AND Day(Time_Arrived) <= 14 AND
DATEPART(dw,Time_Arrived) = 1 AND DATEPART(hh,Time_Arrived) >= 2
THEN DATEADD(hh,b.Hours_From_UTC - 1,Time_Arrived)
WHEN Month(Time_Arrived) = 11 AND Day(Time_Arrived) <= 7 AND DATEPART(dw,Time_Arrived) = 1 AND
DATEPART(hh,Time_Arrived) < 2 then DATEADD(hh,b.Hours_From_UTC - 1,Time_Arrived)
WHEN Month(Time_Arrived) = 11 AND Day(Time_Arrived)- DATEPART(dw,Time_Arrived) < 0 then
DATEADD(hh,b.Hours_From_UTC - 1,Time_Arrived)
ELSE DATEADD(hh,b.Hours_From_UTC,Time_Arrived)
END
ELSE DATEADD(hh,b.Hours_From_UTC,Time_Arrived)
END FROM
Facts_Table a INNER JOIN Site_Info_Lookup_Table b
ON a.Site_Name= b.Site_Name
This works, (and is much more efficient than using a UTC lookup table) and I could probably go about hard coding various other start and end DST datetimes for other time zone DST (Australia and Europe, for example), but that wouldn't be dynamic in case one country makes a change in policy that changes when DST starts and stops, like the US just did.
SQL Server only provides current time UTC conversion--I would think it should have a function like this:
ConvertToUTC(datetimevalue,timezone)
Oracle has a function like that, but it is useless because it doesn't take into account DST, it would for instance just add 5 hours to EST for every date you entered (now that's helpuful!). It is baffling that this function doesn't exist.
I am using Integration Services so I could probably build a script task that would query the OS for DST start and stop times given a particular time zone (if available), but I'm not much of a coder--would be nice to have an easy way to do it in Transact-SQL.
Thanks,
Kayda

Converting DateTime
Oct 14, 2004Hello Everyone and thanks for your help in advance. I have an application that inserts a variety of values into a SQL Server database. Among the columns are three DateTime values. I have code working properly on my test server, but when I port the identical code to my production database, I get the following error:
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime. The statement has been terminated
When I remove any type of insert involving date, the application works. I have tried the date in various formats, for instance "09/12/2001" and "20010912", but still get the same error. Obviously, there must be differences in the SQL Servers, but I have never run into this problem before and the current server is running many applications involving dates. I haven't got a clue as to how to solve this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Converting Boolean To Bit
Mar 2, 2005I have a control with checkboxes. The checkbox.checked property returns a boolean value. If I want to insert a record into a table that has a corresponding column of type bit, how do I do it?
I triedCType(myChkBox.checked,String), which returns the strings "True" or "False". But, I get the errorThe name 'True' is not permitted in this context. Only constants, expressions, or variables allowed here. Column names are not permitted.I then tried "CAST(" & CType(myChkBox.checked,String) & ",bit)", but got the same error.
I can write a function that will return a 1 or a 0 but that seems ludicrous. Surely there must be a more elegant way to use the result of a checkbox in an SQL statement.
Thanks

Selecting * WHILE Converting
Jun 2, 2005I have a tbale with maybe 30 columns and I'm selecting all where a
record number matches a parameter I've passed. That works fine,
however is there any way to do some conversions to fields when
selecting without having to list out each column? For instance
this is what it looks like now:
SELECT *
FROM Losses
WHERE @AppRecord = AppRecord
ORDER BY Record ASC
But I want to convert say one column, is there a way to keep similar syntax instead of listing out each column?
SELECT *, CONVERT(varchar(15), [Losses]) as [Losses]
FROM Losses
WHERE @AppRecord = AppRecord
ORDER BY Record ASC
And the column I'm converting is of type 'money'. I'm converting
it to get rid of the extra zeroes at the end. If you know a
better way to do it I'd be interested in knowing.

1) how do I create a sequence and a trigger?
2) I know SqlServer probably doesnt have anything like Packages, so are
procedures local to schemas? and if so, are schema's nestable in any
way?
3) Can anyone reccomend a good book on T-SQL?
Converting 1000 Into 10.00
Oct 17, 2005I have been given a Product table whoes all column types are varchar(8000)
One of the column is Price and other is DecimalPosition. Price column includes price without any decimal place and the data in DecimlaPosition column determins where the decimal should be placed.
So for instance, if the Price column includes '1000' and DecimalPosision includes '2' >> then it means that the actual price for this product is '10.00' and NOT '1000'. Similarly, if the DecimalPosision includes '3' >> then it means that the actual price for this product is '1.000' and NOT '1000'My question is that when I am getting the price for a product from this table, how can I get the price in the correct format, e..g like '10.00' and not '1000'Should I use SQL statements to convert 1000 into 10.00 or should I use some sort of programming logic to convert 1000 into 10.00.kind regards
