Generating Letters In SSRS
Aug 21, 2007
Hi. I'm looking for tutorials on how to use SSRS 2005 to generate letters in Word or PDF format from a database. We need to send letters with our company logo and some boilerplate text to a set of companies based on a SQL Server query. So the letter will look something like this, with the red areas repeating from the dataset,
[logo goes here]
123 Any St.
AnyCity, CA 90210
[today's date]
Dear [name from database],
Some boilerplate text goes here. Your Account [account number from database] is past due.
Sincerely,
[scanned signature goes here]

I'm working on a stored procedure that works fine. I just want to make it possible for the user to be able to have a drop down list in reporting services to display the "question codes" grouped by whatever the first two digits are. for example.
VT01
VT02
VT03
VN01
VN02
VN03
ST01
ST02
ST03
instead of listing everything, i want the viewers to see this
VT
VN
ST
or an alias for each of these like this:
Vet Tasks
Vet National
Survey Tasks
Survey National
any ideas, here's my current code, which is pullin up anything with the added substring part
Code Snippet
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[Testing_Questions]
(@Region_Key int=null,@QuestionCode char(5))
AS
BEGIN
SELECT dbo.Qry_Questions.Territory,
dbo.Qry_Questions.SalesResponsible,
dbo.Qry_Questions.Customer,
dbo.Qry_Questions.Date,
dbo.Qry_Questions.StoreName,
dbo.Qry_Questions.PostCode,
dbo.Qry_Questions.Address2,
dbo.Qry_Questions.[Question Code],
dbo.Qry_Questions.Question,
dbo.Qry_Questions.[Response Type],
dbo.Qry_Questions.response,
dbo.Qry_Questions.sales_person_code,
dbo.Qry_Sales_Group.Region_Key,
dbo.Qry_Sales_Group.Region
FROM dbo.Qry_Questions
INNER JOIN dbo.Qry_Sales_Group
ON dbo.Qry_Questions.sales_person_code COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS = dbo.Qry_Sales_Group.SalesPerson_Purchaser_Code
WHERE REGION_KEY=@Region_Key
AND SUBSTRING(dbo.Qry_Questions.[Question Code],0,3)=@QuestionCode
END

Hi
I would like to perform a procedure
which takes a string of numbers and searches for strings in a table which include all the
given numbers in any particular order. problem is i can only return strings
which include 'any' of the letters in the search string and not
'all'.
this is how i perform it so far:
@IncludeNumbers
VARCHAR(50)
AS
BEGIN
SELECT Phone AS [Telephone
Number]
FROM tbl_Person AS p
WHERE (p.Phone LIKE '%[' +
@IncludeNumbers + ']%')
END
(ive removed some unecessary bits but
this shows the basics)
As you can see currently it will return any phone numbers which contain any numbers given in the includeNumbers string, I would only like it to return phone numbers which contain all the numbers given in the includeNumbers string. is there any way to make it search for strings
which include 'all' numbers given?
thanks

I have a database with a zip code column. I want to flag all rows that have letters in that column (a-z). How could I construct the where clause?
Is there a better alternative to:
WHERE ZipCode LIKE '%a%' OR ZipCode LIKE '%b%' ...

All,
I'm writing to ask if anyone knows whether or not MS SQL server stores in any system tables the association between a database and the drive letter/directory path where its corresponding MDF/LDF files are located.
Thanks,

All,
I have a test server that needs the drive letters changed for the data, log and backup drives. Is there a way to make this change without reinstalling SQL Server?

Hi everyone,
As source on a Sql25k table I've got this (often):
XXXXX ZZZZZZZ YYYYYYYY
And, as a result I'd need this (plain file):
Xxxxx Zzzzzz Yyyyy
Ok guys, with VbScript inside a DTS it's very easy, building a loop and then playing with Ucase, Left functions stuff and so on...
How could I do this using a DTSX package?? Any specialized task?
Thanks indeed for your help,

Hi,
I have a table in an Access db that stores information about speech files. One of the fields in this table is called "Text" and it contains the phrase spoken in that particular speechfile.
These phrases often have characters such as the "#" sign at the end to indicate what tone of voice is used.
I am trying to create a Search where users can enter the phrase they are looking for, and will be returned the file (or combination of files) that contain this phrase.
My problem is, when I try to search for a string of text that includes the "#" I get 0 results everytime.
An example of what I am doing is this:
SELECT Speechfiles.Name FROM Speechfiles
WHERE Speechfiles.Text LIKE 'aero#'
It works fine for 'aero' or '*aero*' but whenever I try to add a character that is not a letter, it won't work.
If anyone has any ideas, I would REALLY appreciate it!!! I am completely at a loss.
Thanks so much....

I have a field (varchar) in a list that contains numbers and letters. I want to sort this table but I have only two functions that will work to convert the values:
Val
The Val function sorts the numbers in the string, but the letters are not sorted
CStr
The CStr function sorts the letters, but the numbers are not sorted
How can I sort the numbers and letters?

Ok here's a big one.
First I'm a big NEWBIE, so it'd be great if you can provide a little explanation as to how this should be done...
Here's what I want to do, but have no idea how to approach it.
I have a table with Quotes (table Quote) in them (for a Sale's Team). Each has a quote number (qtQN) and this number is sequencial but sometimes revised where a letter is added at the end. Like so:
qtQN__________Date
---------------------------
111q0001--------02/01/04
111q0002--------02/02/04
111q0002A------02/03/04
111q0002B -----02/04/04
222q0005--------01/15/04
etc... ------------- etc...
The first 3 digit are company codes and pretty unimportant to this problem. As you can see, 111q0002 has three versions. A, B, and no letter. The most up to date is B. So in this list I want to list only the most up to date quotes. So the resulting list would be:
111q0001
111q0002B
222q0005
Get it? Good, cuz I have no idea how to query that... any help at all is appreciated!

How to parse a string to equal length substrings in SQL
I am getting a long concatenated string from a query (CTVALUE1) and have to use the string in where clause by parsing every 6 characters..
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[PTEMP](
[ID] [char](10) NULL,
[name] [char](10) NULL,
[CTVALUE1] [char](80) NULL
)
INSERT INTO PTEMP
VALUES('11','ABC','0000010T00010L0001000T010C0001')
select * from ptemp
After parsing I have to use these values in a where clause like this
IN('000001','0T0001','0L0001','000T01','0C0001')
Now ,the values can change I mean the string may give 5 values(6 character) today and 10 tomorrow.. So the parsing should be dynamic.

As part of a migration of data to a new SAN I have hit a bit of a snag in the migration. In summary what will happen is user database data files will be moved from one LUN (say drive F:) to a new LUN (say drive G:). Once all the data is migrated, plan is to remove dependency of that drive from SQL server and remove the drive and delete the LUN. So far, so good.
However one of the LUNs (drive D:) destined to be deleted also hosts the instance default directories, i.e. everything under MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER (Data, Backups, FTData, JOBS, etc). BOL has articles on how to migrate system databases, including tempdb. But there is no guidance that I could find on how to relocate other folders. There are forums where users have listed registry changes, etc that can achieve this but these are steps I am unwilling to take on a production server.
So my plan is:
1) Add new drive to cluster (drive E:), sufficiently large enough to host instance default folders
2) Shutdown SQL server
3) Copy all default folders to new drive
4) Swap drive letters so that new drive is now D:
5) Start SQL server and if everything works, delete the original drive (which is now drive E:).

Yeah, it's pretty simple. Maybe it'll help someone out.
-- USAGE: fn_extract_chars(string_to_search, 'letters' -or- 'numbers')
CREATE FUNCTION fn_extract_chars (@x varchar(128), @y char(7))
RETURNS varchar(128)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @chars varchar(128)
DECLARE @pos int
DECLARE @action varchar(32)
SET @pos = 0
SET @chars = ''
IF @y = 'numbers' SET @action = '[0-9]'
ELSE IF @y = 'letters' SET @action = '[a-zA-Z]'
WHILE @pos < (DATALENGTH(@x) + 1)
BEGIN
IF PATINDEX(@action,SUBSTRING(@x, @pos, 1)) > 0
BEGIN
SET @chars = @chars + (SELECT SUBSTRING(@x, @pos, 1))
END
SET @pos = @pos + 1
END
RETURN(@chars)

Hello - I have a SQL 2000 server which has a D: drive that contains all of my databases (system and user). I am running out of space on this volume and need to migrate the contents of this volume to a larger one. My initial plan was to introduce a new volume to the server (say a K: drive). Backup all databases (of course), and then stop all SQL services. Copy all data from D: to K:. Once data is copied, swap drive letter names (D: to I: and then K: to D. Then restart SQL services. SQL should not know any better since everything was on the D: drive when it went down, and everythiing is still on the D: drive when it came back up, correct?
The other option mentioned is to detatch the databases, copy the data and then reattach them in their new locations. I understand this method, but it seems more involved (and riskier) than just renaming the drives. Does anyone have an opinion regarding these two migration methods? Thanks for your help.

My string is
WI14000323-0003
The value i want to keep is : 14000323-0003.
I try using this SELECT:
SELECT STUFF(Upper(z.lote), PATINDEX('%[A-Z]%', Upper(z.lote)), 2, '') from mytable
but in this case i have only 2 letters WI, but in the future i dont know if is only 2 letters, 1 letter or more, then is not what i pretend.

I am trying to find all instances of a string that contain the letters FSC. While I am able to find most of them, I am unable to find the ones wrapped in double quotes.
Query example:
Select *
from myTable
Where item like '%FSC%'
This works great with the exception of when FSC is surrounded by double quotes.
ex: MySentencecontains"FSC"
I have tried Replace with no luck.

Is it possible to write SSRS 2008 reports to run on an existing SSRS 2005 server?
If yes, what do I need to do to be able to write SSRS 2008 reports on my developer PC that will run on the SQL 2005 Server (which also has SSRS 2005 installed on it)?
I installed Visual Studio 2008 beta on the development PC and it appears that it needs SSRS installed on it too. So I installed SQL 2008 SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) and SQL 2008 Workstation Components onto the developer PC. Next I run the SQL 2008 "Reporting Services Configuration" tool. When I click on the "Web Service URL" section it hangs indefinitely and I have to force it closed.
The developer PC is Windows Vista Business.
Any suggestions on making this work, or any other information that you can think of that would allow me to use Visual Studio 2008 and the SQL 2008 "Report Designer Preview" tool to develop SSRS reports that will run on the SQL 2005 SSRS server?
Thanks!

hi,
I am developing a ASP.NET application using SQL Server as my database.
I want to create a number that is unique.
The number will have 8 digits.
first 2 digits correspond to year. ex:04 or 03
the next 6 digits start with 000001 and it should get added for each new entry of data.
i am not able to generate number in the way i said. I am relatively new to SQL. so any suggestions as how to go about solving the problem???. Are there any samples/codes available for this.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
thanks,

Hi all,
I have generated an SQL script such that when it is run, it will automatically create tables if not existing or drop the existing tables. The problem I have is that, is there any way I can also make the script create not only the tables but also transfer the data from the old database to the new database?
I would really appreciate if any of you could point me to any existing programs, scripts etc that can do that. Thanks in advance
Regards,
Celia
