DB Engine :: How To Pass Values With Comma To Comma Separated Param In SP
Apr 27, 2015I have one sp which has param name as cordinatorname varchar(max)
In where condition of my sp i passed as
coordinator=(coordinatorname in (select ltrim(rtrim(value)) from dbo.fnSPLIT(@coordinatorname,',')))
But now my promblm is for @coordinatorname i have values as 'coorcinator1', 'coordinato2,inc'
So when my ssrs report taking these values as multiselect, comma seperated coordinator2,inc also has comma already.

Comma In Value Within Comma Separated File
Apr 10, 2006I have a file which contains comma separated columns. One of columns contains names of companies. Sometimes the names of the companies have a comma as part of the name. For those, the value is surrounded by double-quotes.
But it seems that SSIS ignores the double quotes and ONLY looks for the column separator. This causes my value to be split in half.
Traditionally, I thought parsers that deal with this type of import do not automatically take the first comma following the double-quote as the column separator but instead look for the first comma following the ending quote. (i.e. Look at how Excel performs imports...)
I cannot set the column separator of the column to double-quote comma since only those values that HAVE a comma in them are qualified.
Any ideas?
Here is sample fie content to see what I mean:
342123, Jason, 12345
21, Kim,4567
32.43, John Paul, 1245
23, "Mr. T", 98764
12, "Peter, Paul, Mary", 09643
The last entry should be imported as 12 in the first column, "Peter, Paul, Mary" in the second column and 09643 in the third but instead ends up as 12 in the first, "Peter in second column and Paul, Mary", 09643 in the last.
(Oddly enough, if I remove the first column of numbers the import works like it is supposed.)

How To Deal With Null Values
Mar 1, 2008Hi I have a table in my database and one of the columns is called 'Month'. Here only one month is inserted according to what the user selects from a dro down list.
WHat i want to be able to do is find the average of the column 'ScoreOut' on a month by month basis. My code works fine if th database contains at least one row with every month of the year represented. I run into problems when one of the months is not represented. here is my code:string month = "February";
SqlConnection myConn = new SqlConnection("Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True");String selectCommand = "Select AVG(CAST(ScoreOut as float)) from tblRound where Name = '" + lblName.Text + "' AND Month = '" + month + "'";
SqlCommand myCmd = new SqlCommand(selectCommand, myConn);SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(myCmd);DataTable dt = new DataTable();
da.Fill(dt);
myConn.Open();
myCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();string info = String.Format("{0:0.00}", Convert.ToDecimal(myCmd.ExecuteScalar()));
myConn.Close();
lblHole2.Text = info;
Does anyone know how to get around this problem. If a month is not represented, i would like the label lblHole2.text to be equal to 0.

How To Deal With A Role From A Cube?
Aug 21, 2007Hello,
I have a global report which contains many countries, and I want a specific user (let's say French) to access only to a specific country (France).
So far in SSAS, I have created a role, and assigned my user to this role. When I browse the cube with the new role, I see only the information regarding the country France.
However when the user access to the report through the web interface he can see all the countries. Moreover when I browse the cube with the user (DomainUserName) which belong to the role, I can see all the countries.
So I think I have missed something about role security and the link SSAS-SSRS...
Do you have ideas about how to deal with my problem?
Any help is welcome...
Thanks,
Guillaume
How To Deal With Nvarchar Column
Jan 19, 2008Hi,
My company is starting to use nvarchar columns in our database products. We just found out that, suppose table T1 has a my_nvarchar_col column, and there is a row containing a unicode text say "some Chinese", if you want to select that row, you have to append "N" in front of the unicode constant in the "WHERE" clause. That is:
select * from T1
where my_nvarchar_col = N'some Chinese'
will return that row, while
select * from T1
where my_nvarchar_col = 'some Chinese'
will return NOTHING.
This brings us a huge problem - we have tens of thousands of such queries in our existing PowerBuilder code base. Do we have to go through all of them to add "N" to the "WHERE" clause? Is there a way we can set some attribute of SQL Server so that we do not need to do that?
Project stalled and I am under extreme pressure so please help ASAP!!

How Does SQL Server Deal With Multiple Databases (was Please Help)
Nov 9, 2004Hi please could someone give me a explination of how SQLserver deals with multiple databases, We have multiple website that are all run from the same server all from SQLserver. Now we have a couple of databases which are very busy and have a lot of people constantly accessing them and then we have quite a few with much less traffic.
How would these databases effect each other? Would the busy database, mean that the many small databases will all be slowed dramtically?
Everything is okay at the moment but we are considering putting another fairly large database on the server and am worried about it having a sever effect on the smaller databases. Cheers Ed

How To Deal With Missing_value In The Training Data?
Jul 11, 2007Hi, all experts here,
Thanks for your kind attention.
I have a question on missing_value substitution. As we know in the algorithm parametres setting, there is an option for us to select the method to deal with the missing_value: None, Previous, or Mean. My question is: to numeric data column, we can select Mean method to deal with its missing value. But how about discrete type of data column? What is the best practice to deal with this kind of data? I do think it to a great extent matters the quality of the models being trained?
Can please any of you guys here give me any advices and suggestions on this based on what best practices you have got?
I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly and thanks a lot in advance.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,

How To Deal With User!UserID In Data-Driven Subscriptions
Jul 27, 2006First a bit of background.
We use the Windows-logon to authenticate en identify the user. With this logon we check within most of our reports what a user is allowed to see.
Depending his level or geographical location he is allowed to run reports on one to all sites. He can selects the sites from a Multiple Select box. This works fine.
Now, we want to use data-driven subscriptions, I understand why we can't use this parameter, but how do you people deal with this kind of configurations.
I would prefer not to 'double' the reports in a normal and a subsciption version .....

Integration Services :: How To Deal With Commas In Data When Exporting To CSV File
Mar 9, 2011I have a table that I am exporting via a SQL server table to a csv file, via the flat file connection manager within SSIS. My issue is that one of the fields in my table contains "," (commas), so when the file is created it creates new columns in the csv file because the field is "," comma delimited on the column. Is there anyway to get round this without having to get rid of commas in my table (which I've tried and works)?

SELECT WHERE (any Value In Comma Delimited List) IN (comma Delimited List)
Jul 2, 2005I want to allow visitors to filter a list of events to show only those belonging to categories selected from a checklist.
Here is an approach I am trying:
TABLE Events(EventID int, Categories varchar(200))
EventID Catetories
--------------------------
1 ‘6,8,9’
2 ‘2,3’
PROCEDURE ListFilteredEvents
@FilterList varchar(200) -- contains ‘3,5’
AS
SELECT EventID FROM Events
WHERE (any value in Categories) IN @FilterList
Result:
EventID
----------
2
How can I select all records where any value in the Categories column
matches a value in @FilterList. In this example, record 2 would be
selected since it belongs to category 3, which is also in @FilterList.
I’ve looked at the table of numbers approach, which works when
selecting records where a column value is in the parameter list, but I
can’t see how to make this work when the column itself also contains a
comma delimited list.
Can someone suggest an approach?
Any examples would be greatly appreciated!

Case Sensitivity When A User Enters Data Into The Database. How To Deal With Case Sensitivity.
Sep 6, 2007I am working on a C#/asp.net web application. The application has a text box that allows a user to enter a name. The name is then saved to the database.
Before the name is saved to the database, I need to be able to check if the name already exists in the database.

Parameterized Queries Running Slower Than Non-parameterized Queries
Jul 20, 2005HelloWhen I use a PreparedStatement (in jdbc) with the following query:SELECT store_groups_idFROM store_groupsWHERE store_groups_id IS NOT NULLAND type = ?ORDER BY group_nameIt takes a significantly longer time to run (the time it takes forexecuteQuery() to return ) than if I useSELECT store_groups_idFROM store_groupsWHERE store_groups_id IS NOT NULLAND type = 'M'ORDER BY group_nameAfter tracing the problem down, it appears that this is not preciselya java issue, but rather has to do with the underlying cost of runningparameterized queries.When I open up MS Enterprise Manager and type the same query in - italso takes far longer for the parameterized query to run when I usethe version of the query with bind (?) parameters.This only happens when the table in question is large - I am seeingthis behaviour for a table with > 1,000,000 records. It doesn't makesense to me why a parameterized query would run SLOWER than acompletely ad-hoc query when it is supposed to be more efficient.Furthermore, if one were to say that the reason for this behaviour isthat the query is first getting compliled and then the parameters aregetting sent over - thus resulting in a longer percieved executiontime - I would respond that if this were the case then A) it shouldn'tbe any different if it were run against a large or small table B) thisperformance hit should only be experienced the first time that thequery is run C) the performance hit should only be 2x the time for thenon-parameterized query takes to run - the difference in response timeis more like 4-10 times the time it takes for the non parameterizedversion to run!!!Is this a sql-server specific problem or something that would pertainto other databases as well? I there something about the coorect use ofbind parameters that I overall don't understand?If I can provide some hints in Java then this would be great..otherwise, do I need to turn/off certain settings on the databaseitself?If nothing else works, I will have to either find or write a wrapperaround the Statement object that acts like a prepared statement but inreality sends regular Statement objects to the JDBC driver. I wouldthen put some inteligence in the database layer for deciding whetherto use this special -hack- object or a regular prepared statementdepending on the expected overhead. (Obviously this logic would onlybe written in once place.. etc.. IoC.. ) HOWEVER, I would desperatelywant to avoid doing this.Please help :)
