Trying to find the best way to vaildate email formats when importing records to result tables etc... the first seems to run faster, but it seems too easy, like something is getting missed.
Does anyone know if using:
WHERE email LIKE '%@%.%'
instead of using:
WHERE
( CHARINDEX(' ',LTRIM(RTRIM([email]))) = 0
AND LEFT(LTRIM([email]),1) <> '@'
AND RIGHT(RTRIM([email]),1) <> '.'
AND CHARINDEX('.',[email],CHARINDEX('@',[email])) - CHARINDEX('@',[email]) > 1
AND LEN(LTRIM(RTRIM([email]))) - LEN(REPLACE(LTRIM(RTRIM([email])),'@','')) = 1
AND CHARINDEX('.',REVERSE(LTRIM(RTRIM([email])))) >= 3
AND (CHARINDEX('.@',[email]) = 0 AND CHARINDEX('..',[email]) = 0) )
is any better, or are they both pretty much bring back the same result sets?
I'm sorry to repost this, but I didn't get an answer yet for this seemingly simple issue. I need to make sure that an email address has the @ symbol before I insert it from one table to another. Does anyone know the syntax? What I have that isn't working is -
select * from table where email charindex ('@',email) > 0
I have a DTS package that I'm moving over to SSIS. In place of migrating this package, I've choosen to recreate it. This package moves data from an Informix database to a SQL database.
In the old package the first task was to make a simple connection to the Informix database and if the task failed, it would send an email and stop the package.
The biggest reason for this is because the Unix server that I'm getting the Informix data from forces the user passwords to be reset ever 90 days. So in my old package, if I forgot to change the password and the connection started to fail it would send me an email.
In my new package, SSIS performs a validation before starting. There are a number of task that uses the connection to the Informix database. Under testing, if I put in a bad password, the validation process generates a validation error. I've tried catching this validation error using the Error Handling events but I've had no luck. I can send out errors PreValidation and PostValidation but OnError appears not to fire under a validation error.
Might anyone have any suggestions on a proper way to validate and be able to send out email notification if a connection fails? Any assistance would be appreciated.
I have a flat file which the first row contains the certain info. about this file. I want to read the first line from this file to determine if continue to next step. what's the task/transformation can be used to do this?
Hi, this question is related to Reporting Services on SQL Server 2000. When creating a report and setting it to send via email as an attached excel spreadsheet, the email is in the format HTML. Does anyone know if it possible to default this format to something else like Rich Text. I have a feeling that this might involve a change to the RSEmailDPConfiguration within the RSReportServer.config file but am not sure which tag needs changing or adding.
I created a report subscription windows form to talk to SSRS 2000 web services API. Everything is fine except the email subject '@ReportName was executed at @ExecutionTime' is always in American Date format.
Is there a way to customize the date format on the variable @ExecutionTime on the email subject?
how can i dynamically specify the name of a report before sending in an email (example @reportName@datetime@parameter1@ServerName)
I have read most of the related articles and i am still curious about this topic - the technology is there so why wouldn't microsoft just add a REPORTNAME field to the email data driven subscription?
I'm trying to create an email report which gives a result of multiple results from multiple databases in a table format bt I'm trying to find out if there is a simple format I can use.Here is what I've done so far but I'm having troble getting into html and also with the database column:
I have a report that gets sends out through a subscription and sometimes the report has multiple pages and all those pages appear within one email.Is it possible to set the subscription in such a way that an email is sent per page when the subscription executes.
Under IIS SMTP I can set bounced email redirect etc. how to do that with dbmail, the idea is I can get the list of bounced emails somewhere so I can create a report.
what I want to achieve is to load a text file that has email addreses from disk and using the email addresses in the text file look it up against the email addresses in the database table then once matched delete all the users in the table whose email address were in the text file.
I also want to update some users using a different text file.
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.
I have date coming to one page as a string in the following format"May 4 2005 12:00AM" I need to query one of my tables using this date in combination of other nondate values. How can I convert this date into valid sql server datetime format before I query a database tables Please help

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 am stuck at one place, where I have to convert CSV format file data into SAP IDOC format file. In SSIS we don't have any such SAP adapter (though we have .NET Data Provider for mySAP suite [SSIS SAP Adapter] but this is still not fully supported by Microsoft, plus it doesn't have feature to convert data into IDOC format) that can do this. Can someone here please provide me some pointers on any third party adapters available in market to do this job or if anyone has already developed some custom approach to achieve this task?
Your quick response on this is highly appreciated.
I am working on a query application, and I want to do syntax validation before I submit the dynamically sql to the database. The expression will include ANDs, ORs, IN, (,),>,<,etc. Anyone done this already? any code snippets?

Now to test errors comming back on the aueue i sed to make the xml tags wrong, then the target would send a error back on the queue with xml validation failed (both queues have validation well_formed_xml). However now in testing i cannot even send the message i get an invalid xml error straight away, i am not sure why this is , i know the xml is not valid but the send used to work and i would get an erro rback, as the xml is validated by the ttarget, but this no longer works it ails strainght away, with no thing in any queue. What could be causing this ?
I think I have read online a recommendation about not using XML VALIDATION in a production environment, due to performance reasons. Is it recommended using other that NONE validation in production, and is there available documentation for a scale that grades performance hits for various types of validations?
Afternoon all,I want my SQL SP to do some validation on a form submit to do the following before committing to the table.If email address (txt.Email.Text) doesn't exist in the table, commit values.if email address (txt.Email.Text) does exist and option (radOptions.SelectedValue) equals 1, print message to say 'you're already subscribed'if email address (txt.Email.Text) does exist and option (radOptions.SelectedValue) equals 0, print message to say 'you're not subscribed'if email address (txt.Email.Text) does exist and option (radOptions.SelectedValue) equals 1 or 0, update row to 0 or 1 (depending on subscribe or unsubscribe - 1 = subscribed, 0 = unsubscribed) The simple SP is currently:ALTER procedure [dbo].[sp_customerSignups]@name varchar(50),@email varchar (50),@subscribed intasBEGININSERT INTO tblCustomerSignups(Name, EmailAddress, Subscribed)VALUES(@name, @email, @subscribed)END Does anyone have the correct syntax for this?Thanks,Brett
When I create and query the XML file using LINQ, everything works just fine. I also get no compilation errors. But when I try to add the XML file to a database-field of type xml(CONTENT dbo.Common7), I get following error: XML Validation: Declaration not found for element 'http://www.mycompany.com/xsd/PageTemplate:template'. Location: /*:template[1] Any ideas? Thanks,Thomas
I have a table of contact details containing the usual name, adresss etc fields.
I want to validate the fields Country and telephone together so that fopr example if country = 'UNITED KINGDOM' the telephone has to begin with +44 if it doesnt i want it to add the +44!
I can do this through writing a little program but just wanted to explore the possibility of doing this with SQL or functions already available with MSSQL Server
I need to make sure that a string contains at least one number, at least one letter and has no repeating chars. Anyone done something similar? What's the best way to do it? Thanks.
Can anybody help me to write a procedure to validate a given string like 09461020(Y2K compliant date), I need to check wether this is a valida date or not?? 0946 = should convert to 1946 10 = month 20 is the date.
If it is 20461020.....then year = 2046, month = 10 and day = 20..and it is valid.
procedure should return validate date or not ...return TRUE OR FALSE.
Is there a way in TSQL to validate a string to ensure it has only numbers or letters (no special characters like @,%, etc)?
I want to write a function that validates a number that should only contain letters and numbers. The function should return 1 if valid 0 if not. If it contains anything other than 0-9 or A-Z or a-z then it should return 0.
Any ideas on how to do this in TSQL? I could do this in C# easily with regular expressions, but I don't want to use SQLCLR or any other external resource like that...just straight TSQL.
