Transact SQL :: Convert Non Fixed Rows To Non Fixed Columns Dynamically?
Oct 5, 2015I have a table with 3 columns (ID Int , Name Varchar(25), Course Varchar(20))
My source data looks like below
ID Name Course
1 A Java
1 A C++
2 B Java
2 B SQL Server
2 B .Net
2 B SAP
3 C Oracle
My Output should look like below...
ID Name Course(1) Course(2) Course(3) Course(4)
1 A Java C++
2 B Java SQL Server .Net SAP
3 C Oracle
Basically need t-sql to Convert non fixed rows to non fixed columns...
Rule: IF each ID and Name have more than 1 course then show it in new columns as course(1) course(2)..Course(n)
Create SQL:
Create table Sample (ID Int null , Name Varchar(25) null, Course Varchar(20) null)
Insert SQL:
INSERT Sample (ID, Name, Course)
VALUES (1,'A','Java'),
(1,'A','C++'),
(2,'B','Java'),
(2,'B','SQL Server'),
(2,'B','.Net'),
(2,'B','SAP'),
(3,'C','Oracle')
DTS And Fixed Widths
Dec 2, 2003Hi all.
I'm trying to export some tables in fixed width format for a client that needs it this way. The first time I did this, using Import/Export in Enterprise Manager, integer fields were 12 chars long. However, when I saved this as a DTS and ran it again later, it made integers 4 chars in the text file (which matches the lengths of the datatypes you see in enterprise manager.)
Why is this difference there? What do I need to do differently? Also, is there a list of how wide each data type is when exported as fixed delimited text?
thanks,
Craig

Possible To Have A Fixed Value As Foreign Key?
Aug 15, 2007Hi everyone,
I'm trying to make a hierarchy in which some nodes are locked, preventing children nodes from being added.
The hierarchy table points to itself (the parent entry). I want to secure this from the DB side. Initially, no nodes have parents but can attach themselves to one.
I'd like my FK contraint to be like:
CONSTRAINT FK_hierarchy FOREIGN KEY (parent_id, 1) REFERENCES nde_recursion(hierarchy_id, allow_children)
This is so the parent_id can only be set if that entry allows children.
Here's my approach. Any better ideas? I feel like I'm adding an extra field (parent_allow) when I shouldn't.
CREATE TABLE hierarchy(
hierarchy_idINTIDENTITY(1,1) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
allow_childrenBITDEFAULT 1 NOT NULL,
parent_idINT,-- NULL is for root nodes
parent_allowBITDEFAULT 1 NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT PK_hierarchy PRIMARY KEY (hierarchy_id, allow_children),
CONSTRAINT FK_hierarchy FOREIGN KEY (parent_id, parent_allow) REFERENCES nde_recursion(hierarchy_id, allow_children),
CONSTRAINT CK_hierarchy CHECK ((nde_status = 'Normal' AND parent_id IS NULL) OR (nde_status != 'Normal' AND parent_id IS NOT NULL)),
CONSTRAINT CK_hierarchy2 CHECK (parent_allow = 1)
)
Fixed Header
Mar 1, 2007Hello!
I have a report that the users reach from an url. In the url I have rc:parameters = false. That part works fine. But when I use rc:parameters = false, the property fixed header doesn't seem to work. If I run the report from the report server it works fine, but not from the url.
Any ideas?

Fixed Header
Feb 15, 2008Hi
I have a table in a report which has the FixedHeader property set to true. What happens is that when I try to look for a text using the find option, the found text gets hidden under the header row, which then I have scroll back to see that. The user may think that the text was not found. Any solution to be able to bring the found item to somewhere the user can see?
Thank you

Bigint And Int64 - When Fixed?
Nov 22, 2006I am attempting to build our first set of packages populating or DW. All of our source system primary keys are bigints (on the main tables at least). SSIS seems to have a problem dealing with bigint values, i.e. having to assign variables as doubles rather than int64, having to cast returning bigint values as float, or bigint sproc output parameters as double. It is all a bit messy (and possibly the most frustrating part of SSIS for me) - does anyone know if this problem is due to be fixed in any forthcoming release?

DTS & Fixed Length Text Files
Apr 13, 2001I created a package to import records from a fixed length 700 byte text file to a table in a SQL Database. I used the wizard to set it up and note the byte where each column ends. I need to customize the process, as the name of the text file will change each night, so I want to be able to set the file name from the VB front end app.
I have tried modifying the Datasource property of the DTS connection to the flat file, without success. I have also tried setting a global variable for the datasource property in DTS, and assigning that from VB, similarly without luck.
Do I have to create a custom package in code from VB? If so, how do indicate where each column in the text file ends? If I can customize the existing package, is there a specific reference that I need to set in my project that will let me control the value of the global?
TIA
DTS And Fixed Field File As Destination

I try to use Data Transaction Service (SQL Server 7) to copy information from an Sql Server Table to an text file (fixed field). When I run the process, no problem, the text file is created and a Ok message appears. But when I look in my text file, every time a field was NULL or empty in the source table, the following fields are not aligned !
Somebody knows what the problem ?

Exporting To A Flat Fixed File

Fixed Length File Output
Feb 5, 2008I need to write data into a fixed column length file and was wondering the best (most efficient) way to tackle this. For example, the first few pieces of the report I'm working on now would be:
PacketID - Starting position 1, Field length 9
TransactionID - Starting position 10, Field length 9
Group number - Starting position 19, field length 10
PID/SSN - Starting position 29, field length 10
For the PID/SSN, if I have a PID it'll be 10 digits and fill the field length, if I don't I use SSN which is only 9 digits and enter a space as the 10th digit. Obviously if I don't have certain pieces of information I'll just need spaces of the specified length to satisfy the file format. I'm using SQL 2005. Thanks in advance for any help provided.
Fixed Length Text File
Sep 23, 2014I have approximately 13 columns. Each Column has a start position and end position.. I created this in a table and defined the position, it's still not working for me.

StateStudID char(10), -- starting position 7, field length 10
CampusStudID char(10), -- starting position 17, field length 10
LastName char(25), -- starting position 27, field length 25
[Code] .....
I need a text output file that will define each start position.I also used: right(replicate('0',25) + cast(last_name as char(25)), 25) in my sql statement.when I add the first_name, I can't get it to start in position 52.
Insert Fixed Values And From Another Table?
May 1, 2014I have a table (tblCustomer) with three fields (customer_id, s_id, s_string)
I want to fill in this table with two fixed values ??and customer_id from another table.
Every customer that starts at P in tblMainCustomer.customer_nr should be entered in table tblCustomer.
Select customer_id from tblMainCustomer where customer_nr like 'P%'
Customer_id taken from tblMainCustomer and s_id, s_string these fixed values ??that are equal for each customer.
These fixed values ??are:
100-----Gold
101-----Steel
1002----Super Copper
Example: If I have a client who has has a customer_id 45 so it will be like this in tblCustomer:
customer_id----s_id----s_string
-------------------------------
45-------------100-----Gold
45-------------101-----Steel
45-------------102-----Super Copper
I am stuck, how do I do this the best way?
Index Corruption Not Getting Fixed By DBREINDEX
Jan 30, 2006Rob writes "We have had an on-going problem in our production database. It appears to all be index corruption. We've opened a PSS with Microsoft, but I figured I'd post here also. We're getting 604,605 errors as well as DBCC CHECKDB errors. All reports are that either REPAIR_REBUILD or REPAIR_FAST will fix the problem. Since putting the database into single_user mode is not an option at this time, we've just been rebuilding the problem indexes with DBCC DBREINDEX. This typically fixes the problem. Microsoft PSS says they believe that it's hardware problems. We're in the process of updating firmware on our storage device. (MSA 1000) This is a clustered machine. Tonight, our index rebuilds completed successfully, but a DBCC CHECKTABLE failed with 8951 and 8955 errors with the REPAIR_FAST option being supplied. I've rebuilt all the indexes on the table, but the DBCC CHECKTABLE still reports with errors. As a test, I DTS'd a copy of this table to make sure that I would at least be able to run a select * on it. That worked okay. My question is the following: Does the repair option for DBCC CHECKDB/TABLE do something that DBCC DBREINDEX doesn't? Thanks in advance! Rob P.S. This is a Siebel environment. :("

SSIS Fixed Width File
May 2, 2006I am attempting to import a fixed width file into a SS2005 table and am having problems when importing a date that has no value in it. The table will allow nulls.
The date is in dd/mm/yyyy foramt and when there is no date then there are 10 spaces. When transforming the data I TRIM the data down using a derive transform script so all there is, is an empty string. When the file attempts to load I get the following message:
[OLE DB Destination [2238]] Error: There was an error with input column "paid_date" (2306) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (2251). The column status returned was: "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
How can it potentially lose data when there is nothing to lose?
I need some way of converting the empty string into a null. Has anyone got any ideas for me?

Does anyone know if it is possible to force a fixed size of
the table and how it is done?
Thanks.

View 1 Replies View RelatedFixed Width Output Problem
Jun 6, 2006I'm sending the results of an SSIS data flow to an fixed-width flat file output, but instead of getting separate rows of data, like so:
row1data...
row2data...
row3data...
etc...
I get:
row1data...row2data...row3data...etc...
Is there some setting I'm missing in either the flat file output or the file connection to turn this on?
Fixed Length File Read
Feb 15, 2006I have a fixed-length flat file that contains about 30 columns. I have got it pretty well figured out using the flat file connection tool, but I am having trouble with the end of the line.
I know when I look at the file it is a CrLf that separates the rows, and SSIS only seems to understand this to a certain extent. It knows to go to the next line, but it also adds two rectangles to the lines, like this:
Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4 Col5
aaaaaa bbbbb ccccc ddddd eeeee
[][]aaaaa bbbbb ccccc ddddd eee
ee[][]aaaaa bbbbb ccccc ddddd e
eeee[][]aaaaa bbbbb ccccc ddddd
While this does create a cool pattern, it is a pain in the butt. The only solution I have found is adding two more spaces to the last column in the table, but the ?s just get appended there.
If anybody has any clue how to get rid of them, that would be great.
Thanks in advance
