Dynamically Changing Column Headings

Feb 5, 2008

We have a query in which we have data in fields called TS1Min, TS1Max, TS1Avg, TS2Min, TS2Max, TS2Avg etc.

We have a different table in which we define that vale of TS1, TS2, as an example TS1 might equal RED, TS2 might equal BLUE.

We have written a query that puts TS1Min, TS1Max, TS1Avg, TS2Min, TS2Max, TS2Avg in a temp table #TEMPA

and we also put the values of RED and BLUE in another temp table #TEMPB

now we want to select * from #TEMPA but rename the headings TS1Min to display RED-TS1Min, TS1Max as RED-TS1Max, TS1Avg as RED-TS1Avg etc...

any ideas on how to do this

Using Records As Column Headings

Sep 22, 2006

This may be a stupid question, but I have a table of orders that consists of various data. I want to take by date all orders that have been completed but have not had a previous order in 180 days. I have this part done. What gets returned is Date, Count, Status. What I want to get is the various status's returned as headings. So I get Data, Total Order Count, Completed Count, Abandoned Count, etc. I'm returning this data to Excel for display. My original thought was seperate queries, but some of the data will not have a count so the ordering would be off. Any ideas?

Force IS To Use Column Headings

Feb 2, 2006

Hi,
I've got an IS package which reads a lot of records from a text file and loads that into the database. The text file has column such as Firstname, Lastname, phone number etc and same as the database table.

The problem:
IS works fine if I have the text file columns in the same order as the database columns but for example if have phone number in the place of firstname (in the text file) IS puts the phone numbers as firstname in the database and moves all the columns dow the order.

Is there anyway I could force IS to use the heading names in the text file and put it in the appropriate database columns?

Thanks guys...

Scrolling Column Headings

Nov 30, 2007

Greetings,

I have generated a report that requires the user to scroll down the page since it is fairly long. I want to be able to show the column headings as the report is being scrolled. Much like excel locking the column headings as you would scroll down the spreadsheet so you know what values correspond to what heading. How do I configure this report to do this? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Looking For A Way To Turn Column Headings Into Rows

Apr 2, 2008

I am relatively new to SQL and have experience with relatively simple queries and data manipulation. I have just finished creating a fully normalized database, which, of course, is presenting me with a few problems retrieving data. I'm not sure if I'm even taking the right approach. Anyway, I am trying to create a web search with a filter. I want my filter to be based upon different columns in a view, rather than rows in one column. I have the following columns:


Emp_Title, Department_Name Company_Name Office_Location, Practice_Area_Name, Practice_Group_Name, School_Name, Emp_Zip_Code

I want to populate a drop list with these column headings. So I thought I would need a way to make a dummy column named Category or something, and then make each of these columns a row in the the Category colum. Can that be done?

Any help would be appreciated.

Is There A Feature In RS2005 For Using Different Languages In Column Headings?

Nov 16, 2007

we'd like our users to have the option of choosing the language (eg French) for column headings (maybe report heading too). I'm sure I'd have to provide the translations somehow but I'd like to know what feature, if any in RS2005 comes the closest to doing/supporting this, even if it is something like making column headings themselves dependent on a variable?

Isqlw - Suppressing Column Headings In Output Files

Jun 5, 2001

I'm using isqlw to generate delimited text files from scripts. There are several SET options available so that you can restrict the output to just the data in the script, for example SET NOCOUNT ON.

I can't find a similar SET option to suppress the column headings, although there is a tickbox that allows you to do this in Query Analyzer (Query -> Current Connection Options -> Advanced -> Print Headers)

DTS packages appear to support this, yet I can't find the setting from a dts file.

Thanks,

Paul

Cannot Copy Field Names In Column Headings From View Results

Jan 8, 2007

When I am using a SQL Query I have an ability to control whether or not I am able to Include the Column Headers when copying or saving results.

The control exists in the Options > Query Results > Results to Grid > Include column headings etc.

My question is how to get this same ability when attempting to copy the results of a VIEW vs. a Query.
The idea is that when I setup a view it€™s a drag/drop type of query building (query building for dummies if you will). Once I have a view and click the Execute icon it will return all the records selected by the View. However, when I click the upper left/top box to select all rows and column and then try to copy/paste the records into Excel all the data copies just fine but the field name/column headers are not there.
How can I get the header fieldname date to copy/paste from View result set that I'm able to copy from a Query result set?
Thank you,
Mike

Problem With MSAccess And Executing A DTS Package Via VBA - Returns Column Headings Only

Jan 31, 2007

I wonder if anyone can help with this. I have searched around and not found much on the topic which can resolve my problem.

History on the reason for using VBA and not C# or VB or VB.net etc. Whn I arrived at this company, there were no development tools so had to resort to Access and VBA. Of course, the routines I wrote are now set in production and I haven't had much time to convert them to c# and ASP.NET (which I have learnt over the past couple of years).

Anyway the problem is that I found on the SQLDTS.com site that I could in fact create and execute DTS packages within VB and followed the examples and got this working in VBA. Of course I created the DTS first and then saved it as VB, then used the resulting code with the VBA project etc etc. This worked well and we were happy.

The DTS packages I create and execute are to export data from SQL2000 tables to tabs in Excel spreadsheets.

Now I find that on my machine, when the objPkg.execute command runs, the Excel file is created but only the query column headings are populated into the excel file. No data is returned.

If I run this on a different machine it works (although having said that, the other machine is now starting to display similar behaviour on some routines).

we created a version of the Access 2000 MDB in Access 2003 some time ago and the Access 2000 still behaves correctly. The strange thing is that my machine has only started doing this incorrectly a little while ago (not sure how long now but could be as little as a couple of months). The routines are monthly processes so it's only going to show up as a problem once a month so the fact that it used to work on my machine and has only failed the last couple of times means that something must have changed on my setup. I am runningXP-Pro SP2 - fully patched, Office Pro 2003 and talking to SQL 2000 SP3a

is it possible that some windows updates or office updates are clobbering something which used to work?

If I allow the VBA to create the DTS but not execute it, I can execute the created DTS manually from SQLEM and it outputs data correctly.

No security access to the SQL databases/table has changed, nor have there been any changes to security on the file system where the files are written.

It's weird.

Any help would be gratefully accepted.

Annabel



I'm really lost and not sure whether I should look at driver versions, ODBC versions blah blah

SSIS Database Table To Flat File Destination With Column Headings

Sep 8, 2006

Hi,

I have a simple enough task to complete that I can€™t seem to find the answer to.

The task is this €“

Select table x from the database and write it to a flat file complete with that tables column headings.

Now I€™ve managed to set up an ole db datasource and selected the table and I€™ve also linked it to the flat file output.  So now I can generate a flat file from the database.  However no column headings appear in the flat file. 

I can€™t seem to find anywhere (like a checkbox) that will also output the column headings to the flat file. 

Now I can add in Headings manually in the properties of the Flat File Destination object but the columns that appear in the flat file don€™t appear to be in the order that I requested them in the SQL.

So the question is how do I automatically have the column headings appear for flat file output (ideally without me having to manually add them in).

If it can€™t be done and I have to use a vb.net script instead then would anyone have an example script of how to do it?

Thanks in advance for anyone who manages to answer this.

Matt.

Any ideas?

Dynamically Changing The Length Of A Varchar(n) Field

Dec 26, 2006

Hi Everyone,I have a question about dynamically changing the length of a varchar(n)field, in case the value I'm trying to insert is too big and will givea "truncated" error, but before the error is given! i.e. Is there somekind of a way to "test" the length of the field while Inserting thevalue into it, and to have it automatically increase its length to thelength of the value being inserted, in case the value is too big?I've been able to do this in a "primitive" way, simply by identifyingthe specific error number in case the value is being truncated, andthen increasing the length of the varchar(n) field by using the ALTERcommand, and then duplicating the insert statement, but is there astandard (shorter) way of doing this?Here is my code (I'm working in an ASP environment):<%var_txt = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz12345678789"sql = "Insert Into Table1 (text) Values ('" & var_txt & "')"On Error Resume Nextconn.Execute sqlIf err = -2147217833 ThenResponse.Write "Error Recognized Successfully!<br /><br />"sql = "ALTER TABLE Table1 ALTER COLUMN text VARCHAR(" &Len(var_txt) &") NOT NULL"On Error Resume Nextconn.Execute sqlIf err<>0 ThenResponse.Write "Error while trying to alter Column:<br/>" & err & "= " & err.description & "<br />"ElseResponse.Write "Column altered successfully to: " &Len(var_txt) &"<br />"sql = "Insert Into Table1 (text) Values ('" & var_txt &"')"On Error Resume Nextconn.Execute sqlIf err<>0 ThenResponse.Write "<br />Error number 2:<br />" &err.description &"<br />"ElseResponse.Write "Now it was added successfully!HaHa!<br />"End IfEnd IfElseResponse.Write "Success."End If%>Thanks in advance!

SSIS Changing Excel Tabs Dynamically

Mar 25, 2008



In my SSIS package I have a loop container that I am running the same code against 4 servers.
I have the package export the SQL data to an Excel spreadsheet that has multiple tabs.

Is there a way I can change the tab on the fly or do I need to create a Connection for the same spreadsheet 4 times
Each Connection pointing to a different tab?

I tried to set up a expression for the Excel Connection Manager to use the InitialCatalog for the tab and change it
based on the script in the loop however this causes the following error:


An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".
Cannot create an OLE DB accessor. Verify that the column metadata is valid.

Dynamically Changing Configuration File Path

Apr 30, 2008

Before I launch into a long description of the issue, I was wondering whether its possible to dynamically amend the file path held in a configuration string? (I'm looking at the Package Configurations Organizer)

Basically recreating the /CONF switch in the dtexec utility

So a parent package could somehow tell a child package to pull its configuration from a selection of different xml config files at run time... I couldn't see a variable in the child package to set from the former

My only idea at the moment is to replace the Execute Package Task with an Execute Process Task, and directly invoke the child using dtexec & an expression to dynamically set the /CONF switch..

thanks

Dynamically Changing SQL ConnectionString For Live/test Environments

Sep 11, 2007

Hello. What I'm trying to do should be fairly simple, but after an hour of searching and trials, I can't seem to get it working.When I run my website on my test machine, I would like it to use a certain value for my connectionString. But when it's run on the live server, it should use a different connection string. This way, when it's on the test server it'll use the test database.In my Web.Config file, I have this:<connectionStrings>        <add name="myConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=TEST_DB;Initial Catalog=tester;Integrated Security=True"            providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /></connectionStrings>I would like to be able to change the connectionString in something like the Global.asax file, when the application is loaded. I'd check for a certain environment variable, or some other condition, and change the value of the connectionString.I tried this in my Global.asax, but it told me the value was read_only: ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["myConnectionString"].ConnectionString = "Data Source=LIVE_DB;Initial Catalog=live;Integrated Security=True" Does anyone have a good way of doing this, so I don't need to juggle Web.Config files when I publish my site? Thanks.

Dynamically Changing Task Name Displayed Within ForEach Loop Container

Oct 27, 2006

Does anyone know how to change the task name displayed within a ForEach Loop Container (or of the ForEach Loop Container task itself) based on a variable. I am pretty familiar with setting variable values during task execution and using expressions to alter task properties based on variables. I have tried using an expression to alter the value of the Name property of the ForEach Loop Container but the name of the ForEach Loop Container does not change during execution. Since the color of the various tasks change during execution, I would think that the task names could be changed as well.

Reporting Services :: Saving Report With Taller Column Headings To Excel Cuts Off Taller Headers

Nov 20, 2015

we are running 2014 enterprise. A couple of column headings (even with smaller font) are a little tall, as much as 6 "lines".   All headings in the respective matrices are aligned vertically as "bottom".  When I save the report to excel, these taller headings get chopped off visually in their excel cell.   The cell contains the entire heading.  It appears that the second "line" of the heading is the one that is most visible in excel. 

How do I get these to be saved so user will see entire heading when opening excel doc? In the first matrix there is a text box directly above the matrix and only one row of column headings.  In the second there is a higher column group heading containing month name above the problem headings.

Dynamically Select Column

Sep 29, 2004

Hey all. I'm trying to create a stored proc that will update a variable column, depending on the parameter I pass it. Here's the stored proc:


CREATE PROCEDURE VoteStoredProc
(
@PlayerID int,
@VoteID int,
@BootNumber nvarchar(50)
)
AS

DECLARE @SQLStatement varchar(255)
SET @SQLStatement = 'UPDATE myTable SET '+ @BootNumber+'='+ @VoteID + ' WHERE (PlayerID = '+ @PlayerID +')'

EXEC(@SQLStatement)

GO


I get the following error:

Syntax error converting the nvarchar value 'UPDATE myTable SET Boot3=' to a column of data type int


The update statement is good, because if I use the stored proc below (hard-coded the column), it works fine.

CREATE PROCEDURE VoteStoredProc
(
@PlayerID int,
@VoteID int,
@BootNumber nvarchar(50)
)
AS

UPDATE
myTable
SET
Boot3 = @VoteID
WHERE
PlayerID = @PlayerID
GO


Is there a way to dynamically choose a column/field to select from? Or is my syntax incorrect..?
Thanks!
