Good day,
I hope someone can help me.
Question 1:
Is it possible to create a text file from a sql server trigger?
Question 2:
Is it possible to ftp a file from a sql server trigger?
Please if anyone can help I would appeciate it.
Thanks
We are using an old version of Numara TrackIT for our helpdesk software, and it doesn't have much in the way of configurable options. There is no way to set validation or formatting on the text fields in the program.
There is a field, WO_TEXT1, Which I would like to be formatted as 6 characters, 3 integers + a period + 2 integers. The first the integers would be padded with zeros on the left, and the last 2 integers would be padded with zeros on the right.
IE, if someone enters 2, it would actually end up being 002.00
If someone enters 3.5 it would end up being 003.50
If someone enters 12.1 it would end up being 012.10
If someone enters 172.80 it would end up being 172.80
I was hoping to achieve this via an update trigger.
Below is the guts of the trigger I created, mostly as a proof of concept.
-- This update properly formats the Estimated Hours field
Update t SET WO_TEXT1 = (SELECT RIGHT('000000' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(6), WO_TEXT1), 6) FROM inserted)
FROM dbo.TASKS as t
Where (EXISTS (SELECT * FROM inserted WHERE WOID = 24773));
I expected that this update trigger would only affect the Work Order with a WOID of 24773. Unfortunately, it updated all 21000 work orders in our system, wiping out all of the actual estimated hours that had been inserted by technicians!
Luckily I had a report that I could quick dump the 300 or so active work order's estimated hours back into the DB from (all the other Work orders are closed, and no one really cares about their estimated hours).
My question is three fold,
1) Why did my trigger update every record in the tasks table instead of just WO 24773?
2) Is using a trigger the best way of accomplishing what I'm trying to do?
3) if a trigger is the best way of accomplishing this, what should my trigger look like?
Hi,
I want to create a text file and write to text it by calling its assembly from Stored Procedure. Full Detail is given below
I write a code in class to create a text file and write text in it.
1) I creat a class in Visual Basic.Net 2005, whose code is given below:
Imports System
Imports System.IO
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System.Diagnostics
Public Class WLog
Public Shared Sub LogToTextFile(ByVal LogName As String, ByVal newMessage As String)
Dim w As StreamWriter = File.AppendText(LogName)
LogIt(newMessage, w)
w.Close()
End Sub
Public Shared Sub LogIt(ByVal logMessage As String, ByVal wr As StreamWriter)
wr.Write(ControlChars.CrLf & "Log Entry:")
wr.WriteLine("(0) {1}", DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString(), DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString())
wr.WriteLine(" :")
wr.WriteLine(" :{0}", logMessage)
wr.WriteLine("---------------------------")
wr.Flush()
End Sub
Public Shared Sub LotToEventLog(ByVal errorMessage As String)
Dim log As System.Diagnostics.EventLog = New System.Diagnostics.EventLog
log.Source = "My Application"
log.WriteEntry(errorMessage)
End Sub
End Class
2) Make & register its assembly, in SQL Server 2005.
3)Create Stored Procedure as given below:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.SP_LogTextFile
(
@LogName nvarchar(255), @NewMessage nvarchar(255)
)
AS EXTERNAL NAME
[asmLog].[WriteLog.WLog].[LogToTextFile]
4) When i execute this stored procedure as
Execute SP_LogTextFile 'C:Test.txt','Message1'
5) Then i got the following error
Msg 6522, Level 16, State 1, Procedure SP_LogTextFile, Line 0
A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user defined routine or aggregate 'SP_LogTextFile':
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:Test.txt' is denied.

Is there a way to create a text file (such as a Windows Notepad file)by using a trigger on a table? What I want to do is to send a row ofinformation to a table where the table: tblFileData has only onecolumn: txtOutputI want to use the DB front end (MS Access) to send the text string tothe SQL backend, then have the SQL Server create a file to a path,such as F:/myfiledate.txt that holds the text in txtOutput, then thetrigger deletes the row in tblFileData.Can this be done easily?Any help is appreciated
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am situation, where we have a table named as Project, columns for the table as follows:
Code:
------------------------------------------
ID | ClientCode | ProjectName
------------------------------------------
1 | AAA | Dubai Airport Phase I
2 | AAA | Dubai Airport Phase II
3 | ARC | Salala
4 | MIZ | UMBC Building
------------------------------------------
Now my task was, whenever a project name and other details being created, then a Folder will be created in a server itself in the path E:ProjectFolder in following way:
E:ProjectFolderAAAAAA1
E:ProjectFolderAAAAAA2
E:ProjectFolderARCARC3
E:ProjectFolderMIZMIZ4
You can see here Folder and sub-folder is being created with that following project - client code & ID
I used following trigger to do the same:
Code:
CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[CreateFolderName]
ON [dbo].[Project]
after INSERT
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
BEGIN
declare @chkdirectory as nvarchar(4000), @folderName varchar(100), @mainfolderName varchar(100)
declare @folder_exists as int
SET @mainfolderName = (SELECT ClientCode AS Project FROM INSERTED)
SET @folderName = (SELECT (ClientCode + cast(ID as varchar(10))) AS Project FROM INSERTED)
set @chkdirectory = 'E:ProjectFolder' + @mainfolderName + '' + @folderName
[code].....
This worked like a charm, now my next task is using same trigger, I have to create a BAT file inside that SubFolder - T-SQL for creation of BAT File as follows:
Code:
DECLARE @FileName varchar(50),
@bcpCommand varchar(2000)
SET @FileName = REPLACE('E:ProjectFolder[red](select ClientCode from INSERTED)[/red][red](select ClientCode + cast(ID as varchar(10)) from INSERTED)[/red]xcopy_'+ (SELECT cast(ID as varchar(10)) FROM INSERTED) +'.bat','/','-')
SET @bcpCommand = 'bcp "[red]SELECT 'xcopy "E:ProjectFolder' + clientCode + '" "10.0.0.35ProjectFolder" /T /E /I' FROM INSERTED[/red]" queryout "'
SET @bcpCommand = @bcpCommand + @FileName + '" -U SQLServerUsername -P SQLServerPassword -c'
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @bcpCommand
Here I am not understanding how to insert the above T-SQL in the Trigger as well as the above T-SQL is not right, what's wrong in this?
Last query that will be included in the trigger is to execute the newly created bat file.
Is there a way in a stored procedure to create a text file with the results from a query?
If not, is there a way to execute a DTS package from a stored procedure?
Thanks,

I'm looking for a simple way to create a text file inside a stored procedure. I want to set it up so the end user would just execute the SPROC that would run the required queries and dump the result into a custom formated text file.
I tried BCP but could not lauch it inside the SPROC without using OSQL. I am running SQL Server 2003 64bit. Any ideas?
Hi!
I'm trying to create a txt file using the information of my PO lines tables, is there any way to do this using a SP.
I created stored procedure to create trigger file in a particular directory using xp_cmdshell.
I am calling the procedure from windows batch script as follows
@@set osq200=osql /a 4096 /b /E /e /d %dbn% /m-1 /r 0 /S %dbs% /Q "exec SP_Create_TriggerFile %2,%1 "
@%osq200% >>%3rec.txt 2>%3rec_err.txt
@set dberr=%errorlevel%
@if %dberr% GTR 0 goto createDATriggerFileErr >>%3rec.txt
If the directory doesn't exist, its throwing error "The system cannot find the path specified" , but the %errorlevel% still showing as 0..
Is there a way to use BCP or something else within a stored procedure to extract data from a select statement out to a text file?

Is it possible to create a stored procedure which will create a text file (containing information from some tables) and send it via e-mail to a list of user.
I know that I will have to configure the SQL Mail.
If it is possible, can someone give me sample code.
Thanks you.
Hey guys,
I have a dilemma and hope someone can help.
I don't know of any utilities or commands in SQL that do this but I hope someone does.
What I need to do is something like a bcp import a text file in. I can do that with DTS as well. But what I wanted to do is create a table on the import. So lets say, I am importing a tab-delimited file with column names as the first row that is called ax.txt. On import, it would create the table ax with the column names in the file and then import the data into that table.
I hope I explained it clearly. Please let me know if there is anything I can use to do this without writing lots of code.
I have an idea how to do it the long way but hope there is a utility that already does it.
Thanks in advance.
I am trying to create a text file from an SQL query on a SQL table. I would like the SSIS package to prompt for the file name and path. The text file is tab delimited and the text qualifier is a double quote.
Thanks,

I have created a trigger to call a program that is written by our program. The program is basically read the record in the table and write to a text file, then delete the record from the table.
The trigger is a after insert trigger. After we added the trigger, we insert a record to the table. The result is that the record still and did not get deleted. Also, the text file didn't get created either. It seems that it take a long time for the record to be written to the table.
But if we just run the program (a exe file), it can write a text file in the folder and delete the record. the trigger is basically:
USE [Zinter]
GO
/****** Object: Trigger [dbo].[ZinterProcess] Script Date: 04/29/2014 18:34:56 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
[Code] ....
Hello all
I have a sql file that I want execute by using the cmdsql command line. But when I create a text file I receive two Informational Messages:
1. "Changed database context to 'DataBaseName'."
2. (2 row(s) affected)
How can I ignore these messages in my text file? there is a parametter or something elese to configure to avoir these Informational Messages?
I have a select Script as follows:
SELECT c.ABC AS 'ABC'
, a.Qty AS 'Quantity_Recived'
, b.PC AS 'PC'
, b.PC AS 'PC'
, 'I' AS 'Flag'
FROM TNRInventory.dbo.tInventoryAlloc AS a
LEFT OUTER JOIN vwInventoryAllocMapping AS vwMap ON a.TNRAllocTypeID = vwMap.TNRInventoryAllocID
LEFT OUTER JOIN ABC.dbo.ZREFRESHTAB AS b ON a.DispenserID = b.Asset
LEFT OUTER JOIN ABC.dbo.TableJoinKey AS c ON a.TitleID = c.TITLE_ID
WHERE (vwMap.DataSourceID = 3) and vwMap.[DataSourceAllocName] = 'I'
group by c.SKU_NO , vwMap.[DataSourceAllocName],a.Qty , b.Profit_Center
order by c.SKU_NO,vwMap.[DataSourceAllocName]
GO
i have to send the result of aforesaid script in batch of 300 records per file (tab delimited text file)
now the file name must be dynamically created as each file will contain 300 records.
I have found some document related to same issue on this url
http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1238184&SiteID=17
but still there is a catch.
Can any one guide/suggest me better way to do the aforesaid.
Thanks
Is there a better way to do this?
We've all seen this, where it uses an individual .write statement for each column.
Code Snippet
Public Overrides Sub AWCCogent_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As AWCCogentBuffer)
With textWriter
Dim item As Object
If Not Row.AddressID_IsNull Then
.Write(Row.AddressID)
End If
.Write(columnDelimiter)
If Not Row.City_IsNull Then
.Write(Row.City)
End If
.WriteLine()
End With
End Sub
But hard coding this seems not the smartest way. Especially since in my text file, there needs to be close to 100 columns. This could be a nightmare to update down the road. But I can't seem to find the object collection to loop through, like row.items which would seem to be logical.
There's gotta be a better way, right Microsoft?
Hello all,
Please help....
I have a text file which needs to be created into a table (let's call it DataFile table). For now I'm just doing the manual DTS to import the txt into SQL server to create the table, which works. But here's my problem....
I need to extract data from DataFile table, here's my query:
select * from dbo.DataFile
where DF_SC_Case_Nbr not like '0000%';
Then I need to create a new table for the extracted data, let's call it ExtractedDataFile. But I don't know how to create a new table and insert the data I selected above into the new one.
Also, can the extraction and the creation of new table be done in just one stored procedure? or is there any other way of doing all this (including the importation of the text file)?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have written a trigger that emails a specified person.
I am trying to include a body of the email which comprises of the stock level and a warning. Pulling out my hair...Help
Code so far in the trigger is :
CREATE TRIGGER Warnings ON [dbo].[tbl_sql_cartridges_kh]
for update
AS
declare @SL as int
declare @SS as int
declare @Msg as nvarchar(100)
set @SL= (select stock_level from inserted)
set @SS =(select cartridge_key from inserted)
set @Msg = 'Print Cartridges Level Warning'
if @SL < 3
begin
exec sp_send_cdontsmail 'Print-Cartridges','XXX@XXXX.co.uk','Print Cartridges Level Warning',@Msg
end
I would like the @Msg to say something like Cartridge XXX stock level is YYY, where XXX and YYY are taken from the table after update. I can get the values, but cant put them in the MSG string..
Like @msg & @SL (SL being Stock Level)
Many Thanks

recently I wrote a TRIGGER , but I found the text is not allowed to be used.
such as:
in the trigger:
declare @content text
Is it illegal??? And why?
thank you!
I have a table that has a number of data fields,I need to be able to capture datatime when the date field was entered or entered value changed.I was told I need to create a trigger on that table that contains all the fields.
I have seen the syntax for creating triggers, and read some documentation but I am still in the dark as how to create what I need to.
I was hoping to see if somebody had a similar example or an advice, anything is more than what I have at the moment.
CREATE TRIGGER NotifyDateFieldUpdates

This is what I was able to come up with so far,but when i check the syntax it gives me an error "Ambiguous column name "RelocateID" and "Ambiguous column name "RemovalistNumber" I don't know what is it trying to tell me here and couldn't find much help.

6004 0 cables NULL ENVD 14
6005 0 processor NULL ENVD 14
Now i want TO CREATE TRIGGER such that every updation in Product TABLE will UPDATE the appropriate record IN Product_Mst
FOR example IF i fire below query IN ABC Database
UPDATE Product
SET PRODUCT_DESC = 'Available' WHERE Product_Code = 6001
Then the OUTPUT OF the Product_Mst shoub be..
Product_Mst OUTPUT
PROD_CODE Prod_Ver PROD_TYPE PROD_DESC PROD_ID PROD_GRP_CODE
6001 0 computer NULL ENVD 14
6001 1 computer NULL ENVD 14
6002 0 keyboard NULL ENVD 14
6003 0 mouse NULL ENVD 14
6004 0 cables NULL ENVD 14
6005 0 processor NULL ENVD 14
Means i want to increment the version by 1 and Insert that records into Product_Mst Table at every updation.
I hope i am clear with my question.

We have Tables like parent and Child Table.Like we have Child Table as Name AcademyContacts,In that we have Columns like
Guid(PK)Not Null,
AcademyId(FK), Not Null,
Name,Null
WorkPhone,Null
CellPhone,Null
Email Id,Null
Other.Null
Since we have given Null to ''Workphone'',''Cellphone '', ''Email ID''.when inserting the data into these table.if the particular columns are empty while inserting also the data will get populate into the table.And.I need is if these columns are ''Workphone'',''Cellphone'' , ''Email ID'' they cant insert the data into table.
Like it must trigger like ''Please enter atleast one of these ''Workphone'',''Cellphone'' , ''Email ID'' columns.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi folks,
I have created a trigger that I can enter and works great from the sqlcmd terminal. When I try to submit the same query in a .NET project I get an error that "Create Trigger must be the first statement in a batch". The Create trigger is submitted by itself through the sqlcommand.executenonquery() method.
I am trying to create a database for a project but the only thing that I can't seem to get working is submitting this trigger.
Appreciate any help.

Hi,
I am using following query to get insereted records from a table, which is containing a column, having text datatype.
'SELECT * INTO #TEMP FROM INSERTED'
Then obviously it gives error.
Wat if i want to get all the columns from inserted table excluding the text datatype column, without giving the column names.
Thanks & Regards.

Dealing with 3rd party app that is somehow deleting records. Was going to put a delete trigger on the table so we can at least be notified of the delete and save the record. Great idea until I found out the table has a text data type for one of the fields which are'nt allowed on the delete or update portion of the trigger. Unfortunately the text data contains what we really need to retain. Tried doing a convert varchar and that would not work.
