Converting Csv Files From One Format To Another Format With Differing Columns
Dec 19, 2007
Hi,
I have a set of csv files and a set of Format Specification files for each of the csv files. I need to convert the csv files into another format of csv files as specified in the Format Specification files. All the columns of the input csv files do not have a mapping with the columns of the output csv files. How can I achieve this using SSIS ? This is an urgent requirement. Please reply asap. Thanks.
I'm using SSRS to generate reports. i have many columns data to be displayed.while converting the data into Excel and PDF the data, header, and footer are not displaying proper format. what are all the properties to be set for that.
I have a column date in my database which I should send it to Oracle database. The Date format in Oracle is number. I don’t know how should I convert the date to that format? Example : SQL FormatOracle Format 02/16/05 105046
I am using SQL server 2008 R2. I have a query where I have dates in different columns pulled from my database among other things. The client is requiring that the date be formatted as mmddyyyy. The database returns the date value as varchar (8) and formatted as yyyymmdd. I have tried several things to get this to be converted but haven't had any luck. My query is as follows.
select appointments.last_name as 'patient last name', appointments.first_name as 'patient first name', appointments.address_line_1, appointments.address_line_2, appointments.city, appointments.state, appointments.zip, appointments.home_phone, appointments.appt_nbr, appointments.appt_date, person.date_of_birth, person.sex, patient.med_rec_nbr, provider_mstr.national_provider_id, provider_mstr.first_name,

Hi, I have a function that generates a range of DateTimes, which I then cast to SqlDateTime to compare with SqlDateTime values in a database. The problem is my converted DateTimes come out in this type of format "6/2/2006 12:00:00 AM" wheras my SqlDateTimes in the database are in this format "2006-01-18T00:00:00.0000000-12:00" Any ideas how I can convert the DateTime values to SqlDateTime correctly so that I can compare them? As I said I tried creating a new SqlDateTime object with the DateTime value ie DateTime dt = new DateTime(""); SqlDateTime sdt = new SqlDateTime(dt); But that doesn't work correctly, its still not in the format that is in the database.
I need help with conversion type. I'm using Visual Basic 6.0 as my frontend and SQL Server 2000 as my backend. There has been existing data in the database. I would like to know how to convert an integer to datetime format. For example:
This is the actual value from the database.
1087912290 1087912327
I'd like to know how to convert it datetime format.
I am trying to import a txt file that has a string for it's date. How do I change it over in the import wizard I've tried going to advance then changing from string to date or date time but I get an error.
I have a datetime field in my table. I call that field with a different software & it comes out in an unexpected format.
My db table stores it in unix format: 2013-08-12 09:29:00.000
But the software pulls it as: 8/12/2013 9:29:00 AM
I know it's possible, but I don't know how. How do I explicitly call it (in SQL) as a unix timestamp. Or how do I convert to a unix timestamp from the available data above?

I've got a source database that has a lot of tables with the dates in a proprietary decimal format. I need to read the tables in and place in a SQL database in a proper date format. In the past this has been done in a user defined SQL Server function that just takes in the decimal, and returns a date.
I can't see how I would run this on a column in SSIS. How would I go about it? I've tried accessing the function from straight SQL in various components, and in a named query, but none seem to work.
I have a date field stored in a character type field ( this field is a spare one in an ERP package )I am trying to validate and convert to a date format using the following;
[code="CASE WHEN isdate( arc.UserField1 )= 1 then CAST( arc.UserField1 as DateTime ) ELSE CAST( '01/01/1900' as Datetime ) END"] [/code]
The results are ;
Date Result 29/09/08 1900-01-01 00:00:00.000 09/06/15 2015-09-06 00:00:00.000 18/03/13 1900-01-01 00:00:00.000 09/10/14 2014-09-10 00:00:00.000
as you can see - the date 29/09/08 is a valid UK date format - however it fails the validation. 09/06/15 converts to 6th September 2015 ( mm/dd/yy ) format...What do I need to do to force this to identify as dd/mm/yy date format ?
When I view my reports in PDF format, I can not view the whole report on a single page. Thats fine with me. But the problem is report is appear on every other page. not on continuous pages. How can I avoid blank pages?
I am using the open source RDL generator project to create report definitions at runtime.
However, the RDL generator appears to generate code in an old rdl format.
When I copy the XML code into my report, I get the following message: "The file Report1.rdl must be converted to the current report definition format. After it has been coverted, you cannot edit this file with previous versions of Report Designer. Do you want to convert this file?"
After I convert the file, the report looks great.
The problem is that I don't want to have to copy the XML code to the report everytime and run this conversion. Is there any way to run the conversion from Visual Studio in my program? Then the XML code would be right from the get-go.

I am using bcp to execute a query and would like to use the -f option for format_file so I am going thourgh the books on line and trying to make some sense out of it,no quite clear on it at the moment.
How do I find out the version of bcp utility and would somebody have an example with this options just to see how it works.
Hi I have two tables I want to link On table1 the column is nvarchar (length 53) the value might be XXX0123 on the second table the column is varchar (length 80) and the value might be 123. The important thing for this company is that 'XXX0123' is the same as '123' But it isn't always going to be the last 3 characters because the first table might be 'XXX0012' and the second value would be '12'
I just want to say SELECT column1, column2 from table1, table2 WHERE (the two are linked)
I am working on a code that will convert the query output into a html query output. That is the output of the query will be along with html tags so that we can save it as a html file.
The stored procedure that i have used is downloaded from symantec website and is working fine. Below is the code of that stored procedure.
/****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[sp_Table2HTML] Script Date: 12/21/2011 09:04:30 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_Table2HTML] ( @TABLENAME NVARCHAR(500), @OUTPUT NVARCHAR(MAX) OUTPUT,
[Code] ....
The code works fine and i am able to get the output with html tags. The problem occurs when i insert stylesheet in the code. I tried to enforce styles using a stylesheet for the table returned in my sql code, so that it will look good. below is the stylesheet code that i inserted between <head> and </head> tags.
If I run the procedure without the style sheet code, it works fine. but when i run the procedure with style sheet code i am getting the below errors.
Msg 105, Level 15, State 1, Line 98 Unclosed quotation mark after the character string '</table></body><'. Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 98 Incorrect syntax near '</table></body><'.
[Code] .....
I checked the code and i am not able to find what is the mistake. I tried changing the quotation mark but it didn't worked.
I have created SSRS report which has many overlapping objects, the output in PDF format seems to good but in word format it is not giving the required output.
Example of the data extract file to be imported (.txt) =
AB 1 01A Surname1 Mr NameOne MiddleNameOne AddressLineOne Testing 1 AddressLineTwo Testing 2 AddressLineThree Testing 3 CD 1016 01A Surname901 Ms NameNineHundredAndOne MiddleNameNineHundredAndOne AddressLineOne Line 2 Testing 4 AddressLineTwo Line 2 Testing 5 AddressLineThree Line 2 Testing 6
I understand the first 6. Col1 has a lenght of 3, col2 has a length of 9 and so on. When I get to field order 7 (col7), I get stuck. Field order 7 should be the Surname, title, name and middlename of the customer. But the host file data length is 136. From what I understand that would mean that it would included the first part of the AddressLineOne as well isn't it? The thing is that it is working currently (not reading the address) I'm obviously not understanding how this works.
I am importing a couple SAS datasets to SQL Server 2008 for a project. The dates are in a float format, they show up as DT_R8 in SSIS. How can I convert these values to SQL server datetime? I have tried dozens of methods I found on-line with no success, I keep getting 'Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime.' errors.
I have a decimal data type column with a record in the following format 20150219 --> yyyyMMdd. And I am trying to convert the return value from SSRS date/time parameter to a decimal value.
The TMDTOP column is the decimal data type with date records in yyyyMMdd format.
I have a problem with bcp and format files.We changed our databases from varchar to nvarchar to support unicode. Noproblems so fare with that. It is working fine.But now I need a format file for the customer table and and it is notworking. It is working fine with the old DB with varchar, but withnvarchar I'm not able to copy the data. The biggest problem is, that Igot no error message. BCP starts copying to table and finished withouterror message.This is my table:CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Customer] ([ID] [int] NOT NULL ,[CreationTime] [datetime] NULL ,[ModificationTime] [datetime] NULL ,[DiscoveryTime] [datetime] NULL ,[Name_] [nvarchar] (255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI NULL ,[Class] [int] NULL ,[Subclass] [int] NULL ,[Capabilities] [int] NULL ,[SnapshotID] [int] NOT NULL ,[CompanyName] [nvarchar] (255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI NOTNULL ,[TargetRCCountry] [nvarchar] (255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AINOT NULL ,[LocationID] [int] NULL ,[MirrorID] [binary] (16) NULL ,[DeleteFlag] [bit] NULL ,[AdminStatus] [bit] NULL) ON [PRIMARY]GOand this is the format file:8.0131 SQLINT 1 12 "#~@~#" 1 ID ""2 SQLDATETIME 1 24 "#~@~#" 2 CreationTime ""3 SQLDATETIME 1 24 "#~@~#" 3 ModificationTime ""4 SQLDATETIME 1 24 "#~@~#" 4 DiscoveryTime ""5 SQLNCHAR 2 510 "#~@~#" 5 Name_SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS6 SQLINT 1 12 "#~@~#" 6 Class ""7 SQLINT 1 12 "#~@~#" 7 Subclass ""8 SQLINT 1 12 "#~@~#" 8 Capabilities ""9 SQLINT 1 12 "#~@~#" 9 SnapshotID ""10 SQLNCHAR 2 510 "#~@~#" 10 CompanyNameSQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS11 SQLNCHAR 2 510 "#~@~#" 11 TargetRCCountrySQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS12 SQLINT 1 12 "#~@~#" 12 LocationID ""13 SQLBINARY 1 33 "#~@~#
"13 MirrorID """#~@~#" is the field terminator. We have a lot of text files with allkind of charachers in it.
