I have embedded tabs in a text field that I want to import to a destination table.
I was thinking I need to replace the tabs with spaces. REPLACE(character_expression,searchstring,replacementstring) Anybody know how to specify ascii in the character expression.If there is a better way I am open to suggestions, however I do not way to remove this in the raw data but handle at transformation time.

I have a table that contains file paths as
ServernamefolderAfilenameA
ServernameFolderBFilenameB
and I need a query to return
ServernamefolderA
ServernameFolderB
I tried
SELECT DISTINCT left(Source, charindex('', Source)- 0) AS String
FROM Table
But that removes everything after the first and I need it to return all data before the last
I have the following scenario, The contents of main file are like :
ServerCentral|||||forum|||||||||||||||is||||||the||best
so||||||be|||||on||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||it
And I need the output in the following form:
ServerCentral=forum=is=the=best
so=be=on=it
The logic being that multiple and consecutive occurrences of the special character, here - pipe , should be replaced by a single special character.
I have data in a column that starts with 1-4 characters followed by a dash then followed by an number of characters (ex: EU-Surgery).
How do I select everything to the right of the dash when the number of characters to the left of the dash varies?
I'd like to return the left-most character from an 8 character string & the third from the left character too.
Like this ABC00123 returns AC
$query = "SELECT LEFT(uninum,3), RIGHT(uninum,5), clmarea, Date FROM tblunimov";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
echo "<div class='tblstyle1'>";
echo "<table class='tblstyle1'>";
echo "<tr><th>ini</th><th>item</th><th>area</th><th>date</th></tr>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){

Hi!
I have a table like this below and it doesn't only contain English Names but it also contain Chinese Name.
CREATE TABLE Names
(FirstName NVARCHAR (50),
LastName NVARCHAR (50));
I tried to view the column using SQL Query Analyzer, It didn't display Chinese Character.
I know that SQL Server 2005 is using UCS-2 Encoding and Chinese Character uses Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) Encoding.
I want to read the FirstName and LastName columns and display in Window Form Data Grid and ASP.NET Grid View.
I tried to use this code below and it didn't work. It convert some of the English Name to Chinese Character and it display the chinese character and some still in the original unreadable characters.
Does anybody know how to read those character from SQL Table and display the correct Chinese Character without converting the English Name into Chinese also?
Thanks
int codePage = 950;
StringBuilder message = new StringBuilder();
Encoding targetEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(codePage);
byte[] encodedChars= targetEncoding.GetBytes(str);
.
message.AppendLine("Byte representation of '" + str + "' in Code Page '" + codePage + "':");
for (int i = 0; i < encodedChars.Length; i++)
{
message.Append("Byte " + i + ": " + encodedChars);
}
message.AppendLine(" RESULT : " + System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(encodedChars));
Console.Writeline(message.ToString());
I have a DTS package that transfers some columns defined as varchar(8000).
Sometimes, the values in the columns defined this way have embedded CR/LF in them. When they do, DTS does not always transfer the values to the target.
Any idea why? Workarounds? TIA.
Why is using an embedded SELECT statement faster than using an embedded UDF that has the same exact SQL code within?
Example (not syntax corrected)
Ex1:
SELECT myValue1, myValue2 FROM myTable WHERE aValue = (SELECT Value FROM someTable WHERE myIndex = 800)
is much faster than something like
Ex2:
SELECT myValue1, myValue2 FROM myTable WHERE aValue = (dbo.FN_myUDF(@vmyIndex))
Given that dbo.FN_myUDF has the same code as the embedded select in the first example.
TIA,

I'm looking into a problem a friend is having, and I'll say right offthe bat that I work with with php and MySQL, and not MS SQL.What he is attempting to do (in MS SQL) is take two database fieldsfrom a table (string fields), multiply them together, and put them intoa third field. This third column in the table has not yet been createdthe time of running the query.If it needs to be multiple queries, that is fine. My first thought isto use a simple ALTER query to add the column to the table, then tocall a UPDATE function which uses a select statement inside of it. I'mnot sure if something like this can even be done.// ------------ Suggested queryUPDATE chrisslu SET 'discquantity' = '(SELECTchrisslu.quantity*chrisslu.nr_of_discFROM chrissluWHERE (str(period,6)>=? AND str(period,6)<=?))' WHERE(str(period,6)>=?Andstr(period,6)<=?)// ------------ End Suggested queryIt starts with an UPDATE, but replaces the value to be set with aSELECT statement. I honestly don't even think this query issyntactically correct, I'm just trying to get the general concept down:).So, question the first: Is this type of query possible? The reasonI'm doing this is because I was told MS SQL has no way of storingtemporary variables... otherwise I would just call a SELECT statement,store the variable, and UPDATE the new field from the variable afterthe ALTER statement.Second question: If it is possible, am I on the right track, or doesit need to be entered in completely different than what I have?Third: Regarding the 'type'. Do I need to do any kind of typecastingor conversion of the fields? Both chrisslu.quantity andchrisslu.nr_of_disc are string fields (that is what I was told, theymay be varchar of some kind). In order to use them in a mathstatement, do they have to be floats, or doubles, or something similar?I appreciate any response, I know this was a long winded question.Chris

Hi there!
I've an embedded image (logo) in my report, and in the preview it looks wonderful, but after deploy the logo doesnt appear in the report (report server).
The url of the dead-link-image is http://hamsql1/Reports$BI/Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd?.
I thought that an embedded image is stored "in" the report, but it seems to be an other place. Is it nessecary to deploy an embedded image too? Is it a problem of permissions (i read it in another threat)? How to set these image-see-permission? Or is there an other problem?
Every idea is very welcome!
Thanks,

Hi,
I am trying to find something like a light version of SQL Server 2k to store data for an application that will be distributed through a cd.
Since we also have a web front end for this application when the user is online, we prefer that we can reuse the code for connection on both the cd and the web.
Any idea what will work?
I have come accross MSDE 2k but was not able to find any documentation on the pros and cons for this product regarding its capacity, the type of data it can handle, security, ...
Please give me some pointer.
Thanks very much.

DTS 2000 had no problem with this- it correctly parsed the files. The 2005 SSIS file connection manager correctly parses this in preview mode. But when the task is executed the task fails with the message "The column delimiter for column X was not found".
What is the recommended approach for this - we have alot of files in this format.

Hi,
I have a report with background embedded image. I have placed few textboxes on top of them to display data. Every time I set the location of the textbox, it is behaving strangely by rendering at one location one time and changing location next time when it is rendered. I am viewing it in PDF format.
How can I fix the location of textboxes that renders at one location all the time ?

Hi,
documentation states, that Windows XP Embedded (XPe) is not supported by any SQL Server 2005 Edition (as I intend to use the Epress Edition on that platform, I post to this forum).
So, why is that? Is it just not tested or are there technical reasons for it? What are these reasons? What works and what doesn't on XPe? May XPe be supported in any later version?
thanks,

I am building a mobil application using Windows XP embedded. I need a database that will run on xp embedded as follows:
Client mode: Sometimes connected to server(local) sometimes disconnected.
Server Mode: Ready access to database from client and system running server.
Client must be able to switch to server mode in event of failure.
Does SQL Mobile support running Windows XP embedded on the Server?
Does SQL Mobile support running Windows XP embedded on the Client?
Does SQL Mobile support running Windows XP embedded in a failover mode?
If it does not support this type of operation then what mobile database will support XP Embedded in all modes stated above?

Hello,
Im doing research for my company for a project we are about to start, but the more I find, the more Im confusing myself. Maybe someone would be so nice to help me a little.
We need a database solution, either licensing (ISV) or i think maybe an embedded database. if its licensing, its not a problem, but after research, im thinking licensing would be a waste of time or too much and theire not enough information to go by just that.
Problem: Need to develop software for a client where there will be around 300 users using the system (not all at once neccisarrily). We are creating this software for them and they want to re-sell it after completion, but they do not want to make their customers purchase a database for the purchase of their software. (because of all types of licensing). We need the database RUNTIME to run on the customers machine to make the software work.
Is there a RUNTIME license for Independant-Software-Vendor(IVS) for redistribution? or would it make sense to embed a database ( for example, the free edition of sql server;embeeded feature :), or maybe firebird embedded database?) We are developing in Visual Studio 2005.
This might sound confusing, thats where im at. For those of you with more experience, hopefully you understand what im talking about.
Thank you. I have 2 days to find a solution. Ill continue looking and post in thread if i find anything new or clearify my problem.
I need to check the value of a column being pulled from an embedded select in the WHERE clause of a script but can't figure out how to do it. The script looks like this:
SELECT
LIST_ID,
NAME,
ADDRESS
(SELECT ANSWER FROM VALID_ANSWER WHERE VALID_ANSWER.LIST_ID = VIEW_LIST.LIST_ID) AS ANSWER
FROM VIEW_LIST
WHERE ANSWER = 'No'
The syntax above works in Oracle but in SQL Server I receive the following error: "Invalid column name 'OHIP'."
This is part of a query I have. I want to display the diagnosis code attached to a patient. Sometimes there are more than one which is why I have tried distinct. I am getting the message 'subquery returned more than 1 value...'
If I use MIN or MAX, its giving me the min possible diagnosis code alphabetically or the max, not the one actually assigned to the patient which is what I want.
(SELECT DISTINCT (Diagnosis.DiagnosisCode) FROM Diagnosis
LEFT OUTER JOIN CourseDiagnosis ON CourseDiagnosis.DiagnosisSer = Diagnosis.DiagnosisSer
LEFT JOIN Course ON Course.CourseSer = CourseDiagnosis.CourseSer
JOIN Patient ON Patient.PatientSer = Course.PatientSer
WHERE Diagnosis.ObjectStatus = 'Active' AND
Diagnosis.Description not like 'ERROR%' AND
Diagnosis.DiagnosisTableName not in ('RTDS Dates')),
I want to distinguish between static SQL, dynamic SQL, and embeddedSQL, but couldn't find too much useful resources in the web.For example, if we put SQL statements (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, etc...)inside an application (e.g. Java application, VB application, etc...),do we consider those SQL statements as static SQL? or embedded SQL?How about dynamic SQL? any practical examples?Please advise. thanks!!
View 4 Replies View RelatedI inherited an existing database application about 6 months ago. I'vefinished converting it to use SQL Server 2000 as the backend (MS Access2002 frontend w/ Userforms+VBA code pointing to the backend).In its current state the application makes use of a ton of embedded SQLstatements and I'm thinking about the best way to clean this up. Itseems like the best way would probably to encapsulate each of the SQLstatements into its own stored proc and then have the MS Accessapplication call the sp. However, this would result in a very largenumber of stored procedures.Anyone have any links or suggestions regarding best practices onremoving embedded SQL scattered throughout a DB app? Thanks.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy warehouse app employs a distributed architecture. Extractions from disparate (wildly so) systems, and transformations and loads into a standardized schema are performed at various locations close to the source systems (both physically and "logically" speaking). There are security and other reasons for this. However this causes some related design and implementation challenges for the ETL processing.
For one, the ETL processes must be successfully operated by non-technical medical administrators, who actually have little interest in the application and sometimes even the analytics produced by the system, who have other more pressing day to day work they want to be doing, in organizations where turnover is high,training is spotty, and LANs are fragile and often congested.
So, real-time feedback to the operator during processing is pretty dern important. I have built a fairly sophisticated GUI (using .Net forms inside a script component) for the operational interface-input boxes just wouldn't cut it).
But that interface is lacking real time feedback as to processing progress at runtime.
Anyone got that T-shirt yet? I'm thinking I need progress bars and real-time task and component progress reports. Also. is there a way to capture the built in logging output in real-time?
I have a report which has an embedded image in the heading and an image control that loads images from the database (Image control Data section configured as MIMEType=image/jpg, Source=Database, Value=Fields!Img_Data.Value).
In both cases I can see the embedded heading image and the database images in design mode (VS2005) and through the report manager web pages. When I try to render the report through the ReportViewer web control in my web application, the images do not display (standard missing image red "X" appears).
I have a button on my web form which re-runs the report and exports it to PDF, and when pressed the report is displayed correctly in PDF with all images.
What do I need to do to the ReportViewer web control for it to show embedded and database images? I am using the ReportViewer for 2005.
Please advise of give me some place to look.
