I am using Derived Column Transformation Editor. I have 3 string values which I would like to combine them into one string and have a newline character inbetween the 3 strings. I cannot see a Char() function similar to TSQL to use for this purpose. I thought about creating a Variable but even to that I don't know how I can assign a newline character.
Any ideas?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have the misfortune of converting a DTS package to SSIS that loads a flat file that has a text fields that can contain embedded text delimiters ("), column delimiters (,) and even new lines (CR+LF i.e.,hex 0D 0A) in it. A sample line from the file is posted here, remember this is just one line though it shows as three lines, since the third field has embedded new line in it:
4,"Sam","EVP; MARKETING PRODUCT MANAGER ""Level I"",
Internet Sales / HELP
8005551212",100
If you open in excel it handles it perfectly showing four fields, as below, and this is what I want ( I cannot get it aligned right in the posting, just save the above line in *.csv and open to see what it should be):
4 Sam "EVP; MARKETING PRODUCT MANAGER ""Level I"", 100
Internet Sales / HELP
8005551212"
Now, SSIS errors on the embedded text delimiters and breaks into two or three lines based on which option I chose. I have tried few options based on postings in the forum:
a). Using undouble and undoubleout: Does not work when there are embedded column delimiters (,) in the text field
b). Modified undouble script posted by lvovg at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1718225&SiteID=1. Handles the embedded column delimiters (,) perfectly, but the embedded new lines (CR+LF i.e.,hex 0D 0A) are breaking it.
Since, I am using the ragged right format to read from the file then use transform script on the line by lvovg, the line is already broken by the ragged right format at the embedded new lines, hence does not work.
Right now I am stuck. Can someone please help (anyone from MS) ? I am already baffled at the amount of coding required to convert a very basic ( and working ) flat file load DTS package to SSIS. I am willing to persist bit longer to convert this to SSIS, before I give up and stick with DTS and wait for a fix / workaround.
Thanks.
Hi everyone!I'm be stuck by a simple issue about newline in C# and has relative with SQL. I wrote a SQL sentence like that: IF EXISTS(SELECT NAME FROM SYSOBJECTS WHERE NAME = 'TG1' AND TYPE = 'TR')" + " DROP TRIGGER TG1" + " GO " + " CREATE TRIGGER TG1 ON FILES FOR DELETE AS DELETE table1 FROM" + " table1 INNER JOIN DELETED ON DELETED.ID = table1.ID" + " GO " + " DELETE FROM table2 WHERE ID = 'ID00001'It's executing ok in SQL but when execute programming then " GO " have to break newline (
or System.Environment.NewLine), However seem have not mean for SQL Execute becoz will be appear
in SQL sentence. I'm not have experience about GO and TRIGGER so have any idea for this problem! Thanks so much.
Hey guys, how do I return a string from a stored proc that displays some of its text on a newline?
E.g.
"some text goes here
some more text goes here
etc etc etc"
I have a SQL 2005 stored procedure to generate an email when passed parameters such as receipient, subject etc
One of the paramteres passed to it is @body which is the body text of the message. I want to be able to add a couple of blank lines and then some footer information. This is working right now except I can't find the right way to add newlines into the string within the store procedure, so my footer information just tags right on after the bodytext.
I have tried but that literally adds the two characters and n
Can anyone advise how to generate newlien sequences in T-SQL.

Hello,
I have data in a database table that has newline data in it. It has a newline character in front of the text of the data, and for some reason, I can't figure out how I can replace it. I've tried entering in a return character between '' and I've tried trimming the text... How do I represent a newline character to remove it from the text?
Thanks.
what is the newline character in sqlserver.
My problem is ,I have to display text (say "Hi abcd hhh") where is the newline.
But when i print this in sqlserver storedproc,Its displaying as it is instead of newlines.
please help
thx
Can I use a newline character in my query? I want to dynamically generate a statement, split on several lines. Simple example:
declare @cmd varchar(100)
select @cmd = 'select user_name(), getdate()'
select @cmd
The output will be: select user_name(), getdate()
Can I use something like this:
declare @cmd varchar(100)
select @cmd = 'select user_name(), getdate()'
select @cmd
so as to get an output like this:
select user_name(),
getdate()
Thanks.

Hi,
I have dates in "mmddyy" format coming from the sources and they are older dates of mid 80s like 082580 for instance.
When I cast it this way (DT_DBTIMESTAMP) Source_Date , It says ok but throws a runtime error.
When I hardcode a date in same format, (DT_DBTIMESTAMP) "082580" , It becomes red (an indication of syntax error) . Please note that we use double quotes in expressions in Derived Column Transformation; So an anticipation that using double quotes over single ones would be the syntax problem would be wrong.
Any help in this will sincerely be appreciated.
Thanks

I exporting a table of comments. There are some line returns in the comments. Some of these data are paragraphs of data! For some reason, when I am exporting the data, it treats the line return within the comment column as a new record. I am using a -c character data type so (newline character) is the row terminator. How do I get the BCP OUT to ignore a newline character within a record?
For example:
ID~Comment
-- -------
1~This is a comment
2~Hi,how are (user hit carriage)
you (you is part of next row in bcp out)
3~Next record
Thanks!

Hi,
I am bulk inserting the data from a file into a table using the following format.
9.0
1
1 SQLCHAR 0 10 "
" 1 MSISDN SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
This works perfectly for me.
But my problem is that the firmat may not be generated in Windows and i can't user "
" as row delimeter.
It could be generated in Unix and want to use LF as the row delimeter.
Questions :
1) How do i specify this kind of new line (LF ) in formatfile?
2) Is there anyway that i can specify both the delimeters and let it use which ever is appropriate ?
Please provide some inputs on this??
Thank u so much

hey everyone, everyone here has been extremely helpful, I'm extremely appreciative. i have another question if anyone has the time.I want to pull the value of one column/row into a string, i know this value to be one int or 1 word under 10 characters. I'd like to be able to use this variable as a conditional, so my if/else statements have information to work off of. I have been using the following format in by code-behind pages to do my SQL insert/update/delete - however I cannot figure out how to SELECT and get those results into a string. I'm new obviously, so dumbed-down explanation would be greatly appreciated!This is what I've used so far for working with my DB:using System;using System.Data;using System.Configuration;using System.Collections;using System.Web;using System.Web.Security;using System.Web.UI;using System.Web.UI.WebControls;using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls; protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { SqlDataSource profilesinsert = new SqlDataSource(); profilesinsert.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ProfilesConnectionString1"].ToString(); profilesinsert.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text; profilesinsert.InsertCommand = "INSERT INTO ProfileComments (Approved) VALUES (@Approved)"; profilesinsert.InsertParameters.Add("Approved", "yes"); profilesinsert.Insert(); } The SELECT into a string I'd like to do on page_load, so that I can test that variable upon button click, and have a different value in "Approved" depending on the 1 int or small word result from my SELECT.THANK YOU very much to anyone who offers help! love you guys :)

I have a column of 5 comma-separated-value strings:
stringA, stringB, stringC, stringD, stringE
The strings are GUID's with the hyphen stripped and made all uppercase so they are completely random. I need to be able to remove any one of the strings including the comma, in a stored procedure and I am not sure how to accomplish this.
SELECT tickets
FROM users
WHERE CONTAINS (tickets, @ticket)
IF @@rowcount > 0
REMOVE STUFF HERE
SET @valid = 1
ELSE
SET @valid = 0
So if stringB gets passed in as @ticket then the new value in the column would be :
stringA, stringC, stringD, stringE
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi All,
I am trying to write a select statement which will concatenate all values of a string column and provide me with a result set containing just one row of data containing a concatenation of all values.
For eg:
column1
abc
def
hij
klm
nop
is it possible to write a select statement which would return
result
abcdefghijklmnop
as a result?
TIA

I have access to a database's web front end and a limited amount of access to the server.
I am trying to find out what column a certain string is in.
I can see some text on the front end via the web that a user enters and then submits. This information must go to the back end of the database but I dont know where it goes...
I am able to provide a unique Sequence number that it would be linked with and obviously I have the string that im looking for its column name but other then that I dont know what I can do.
I don't have write access to the database so I am unable to make procedures. I am also not really aware how the front end works or if I would be able to find the script that deals with the text after the user hits "save"...
Good Morning,
I'm trying to write a scrip to compate two columns in two different tables to each other (billing_payee to Debtor_name)
The problem i have is that the info in the billing_payee column is CLIENT RE DEBTOR INITAL SURN and the infor in Debtor_name column is [i]DEBTOR TITLE NAME SURN[i]
What i need to be able to do is select all from Billing_Payee table where the Billing payee [i]DEBTOR INIAL SURN[i] is not the same as the info in Debtor_name.
I somehow need to split out the inial - first letter of debtor name and surname.
If i can't do it this way i need some other way of comaparing the two.
I am fairly new to t-SQL however have a pretty good grasp of it.
Please let me know if there is anything else i can provide to make this any easier any help is much appreciated!!

Hi,
I am trying to replace a string column with 'Y' or 'N' in my SSRS report. I tried the following expressions, but no one works for me.
=IIf(Fields!ExpectedWords.Value Is Null, 'Y', 'N')
=IIf(Fields!ExpectedWords.Value = '', 'Y', 'N')
=IIf(IsDBNull(Fields!ExpectedWords.Value), 'Y', 'N')
Would you please tell me what's wrong? Your suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi All,
I have a column in my table like so:
'D4B00 L2A00 L3A00 L6C00 P1C00 L2A28 P4B00 '
How do I check in SQL if any pieces have the first 3 character the same. In the above case, L2A is present twice. I need to do this because I need display disctinct items, therefore L2A needs to be displayed only once.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

What do you guys think about creating a unique constraint on a string column in a database?
Currently, I'm enforcing uniqueness through the stored procedure that inserts rows into the table. E.g.
PROCEDURE addRow( name )
DECLARE r INT;
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO r FROM foo WHERE foo.foo_name = name;
IF r = 0 THEN
INSERT INTO foo (foo_name) values(name);
ELSE
// Not unique throw an error
END PROCEDURE
What do you guys think?
I'm trying to form a query that will select part of a result.I'm trying to take out the ending of results that end in '-PR'.
