Hi
How can I check whether an nchar column contains Arabic character set? The only allowed values that can go into this column are English and Arabic.
Thanks,
Salman Shehbaz.
Hello,
I am using the SSIS import/export wizard to import an Access table into a sql server 2005 database. The table has fields in Arabic (name, last name, etc.) and non-Arabic fields (gender, phone number, category, etc.).
The destination table has nvarchar columns.
After the import, I can see the Arabic characters in the destination table, but they appear in inverse order (from left to right). In Access (or Excel), Arabic fields appear as they should (from right to left) and non-Arabic fields are OK as well (from left to right).
If I do a simple copy-and-paste of a "correct" Arabic text into the table, the result is still wrong (inversed letters)...
Please help, I can't see what else to do.
Thank you.
When generating a check constraint to guarantee that a character column cannot be blank is it best to use comparison operators such as col1 <> '' or to use LEN(col1) > 0? Note that the column in marked as not nullable.

I am trying to create a stored procedure where.I need to loop through every row of the table and check if there exists a date in either of the column. If date exists in either of the column for every row, I need to update some other stuff.For the above table, it meets my requirement, so I need to update. However if the table is as below, it doesn't meet the requirement, so I don't need to update
deleteddate revokeddate
1/1/2001 null
null null
4/5/2004 null
I started off as below, But I am getting incorrect values.
Declare @deleterevoke bit
Declare @DelRevId int
Declare @DelRevnumrows int

I keep thinking this can be done in one query:UPDATE H
SET Phone1 = NULL
FROM Dialer.dbo.Agentless_Hold H
INNER JOIN Dialer.dbo.PhoneLookup D ON H.Phone1 = D.Phone;
UPDATE H
SET Phone2 = NULL
[Code] ....
I need to NULL any phone number in the Hold table where the number is in the Lookup table.
I have two tables table1 and table2. I want to check a value from table1 against 4 different columns in table 2. What would be the most optimized way to do this. I came up with this SQL but it runs forever.
select * from table1 a
where
(a.id in (select orig_id from table2 where exctn_dt >= '01-OCT-14')) or
(a.acct_intrl_id in (select benef_id from table2 where exctn_dt >= '01-OCT-14')) or
(a.acct_intrl_id in (select send_id from table2 where exctn_dt >= '01-OCT-14')) or
(a.acct_intrl_id in (select rcv_id from table2 where exctn_dt >= '01-OCT-14'));

I have a case where if the Id field is a specific value, I don't want to allow null in another field, but if the Id value <> a specific value, null is ok.
In the example below, inserting the first record should succeed, the second should succeed, and the 3rd should fail. Right now the 2nd two fail. I gotta be missing something easy, but I can't figure it out.

IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb.dbo.CheckConstraintTest') IS NOT NULL

I've got about 6 formats of flat files coming through data flows & heading into a relational db, then later to a data warehouse. In each file type, I've got about 60-70 columns to perform basically two levels of validations on - first is straight data type conversions, then 2nd is finer level stuff. Some of the data from each file type overlaps in other files, so for instance some lookup codes are maintained for both.
The data is pretty dirty, so I'm keeping everything as varchar coming into the staging area, just so I can get the data in the system, b/c the users demand on some form of of the data making it into the system, no matter the dirtiness.
So then I'm running my two steps - first converting data types from varchar to bit/datetime/int, etc. as applicable. And then , I'll be running finer levels of validation, doing range checks, etc. My question is - with so many columns, what's the most efficient & best way of doing all these checks in the data flow, and recording errors out of each check? Do I put one column check after another with the success constraint, do the lookup/range check/other, and then record the error if an error is encountered, then move on to the next column? Or would it be better to multicast out the stream to 60 flows and do all the needed checks, then union all the good stuff back together at the end? Anything to help save some headache - b/c this data is dirty and there's a lot of it.
Hi,
I have an SSIS Package. I am using script component to loop through input columns and their values. I am not able to do Null checking. The code is as below. In place of dashes , I want to do null checking but am not able to do. I tried vbNull, IsNull, TypeOf, System.dbNull but nothing is working. I guess am missing something here. Can anyone help me with this.
For Each column In Me.ComponentMetaData.InputCollection(0).InputColumnCollection
columnValue = rowType.GetProperty(column.Name)
If Not --------------- Then
RowData += ((FormatElement(column.Name) + ReplaceSpecialChars(columnValue.GetValue(Row, Nothing).ToString()) + FormatElement(column.Name, True)))
End If
Next
Thanks in Advance.
I'm using a stored procedure to add fields to an existing table.
These fields must have check constraints and I need to use one T-SQL batch.
In Sql2000 Ok. In Sql2005, if table exists, I get error "invalid column xxxxx" in Add Constraint statement before new column creation.
the code is
Declare @Setup bit
Set @Setup = 1
if @Setup = 1 Begin
--Alter Table MyTable Add MyField Numeric(1, 0) Not Null Default 3
Exec mySp_Add_Column 'MyTable', 'MyField', 'Numeric (1, 0) Not Null', '3'
If IsNull(ObjectProperty(Object_Id('xCK_MyTable_MyField'), 'IsConstraint'), 0) = 0
Alter Table MyTable Add Constraint xCK_MyTable_MyField Check (MyField >= 1 And MyField <= 3)
End Else Begin
-- drop column
End
GO
If MyTable does not exist and, naturally, I add it before of check constraints (using another Sp which add tables) ok.
If I add FK to new fields, ok.
Now I have to split batch in two parts as workaround...
Can anyone tell me if this is a bug or a "fix" for previous versions?
Many thanks,
Giulio
I am looking for the best way to check to see if any columns are still NULL in a record. I have a form that gets filled out by users and the values entered into TableA. There are 6 columns in the table, 5 are responses and column6 indicates if the record is complete. So I want a way to see if all of the first 5 columns are NOT NULL and, if so, mark column6 with a 1.
I am thinking this would be a good thing for a trigger on INSERT or UPDATE to check to see if the first 5 columns are filled in and then mark the record as complete.
I need to find column names if any after 2 “check” columns.
Scenario: I have a database, with approx 400-1500 tables, depending on installation of software. The software is structured so that, when it synchronizes the SQL database it will create all the columns e.g. custacc, custname etc. and then it will always put in two check columns “CheckOne” and “CheckTwo” these two columns has to be the two last ones. In 99.9 this always works fine, but sometime if the users creates a new field in the software, when it synchronizes the new field “lands” behind the two checkfields, which is not good.
So what I am after is a script, which can run through all user tables, tell me if there are columns after the two checkfields and list those tables if any.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Henrik.
I need find out the number of columns in flat file before i process that particular file.
I have file name in @filename variable and file path is @filepath variable.
But do not not that how i will check the column name in before i will process that file.
@filePath = C:DatabaseSourceFilesCAHCVSSourceFiles
And I am using for each loop container to read the file one by one and put the file name in @filename variable.
and my file name like
Product_20120607060930.txt
Product_20130708060930.txt
My file structure is:
ID,Name,City,Country,Phone
1,Riya,Pune,India,454564
2,Jiya,New Jersey,India,454564
3,Riya,St Louis,USA,454564
4,Riya,Belleville,USA,454564
5,Riya,Miami,USA,454564
Now what i have to do is i need to make sure that ID,Name,City,County,Phone is there in flat file. if it is not there then i have to send mail to client saying that file is not valid.
Let me know how i will do it.I need to also calculate the size of flat file.

Is it
possible in SQL 2005 to determine to which language symbol nchar(1) is
referred?
If
languages differ greatly, say, like Russian and English, can one write a function,
which, under the given alphabet, can determine to what language the symbol
belongs?
If the
languages have a similar alphabet, one is faced with the difficulties. For
example, it is needed to distinguish characters of American English from those
of Australian English or of English from those of any other European language
that uses almost the same alphabet. I don€™t know how to solve this problem.
What can you advise?
The final task
is to scan in Internet a great number of Web pages in various languages and to
make up a large dictionary, where each word will be entered in its language
group. It is in principle too important to select words in different languages
that use the same alphabet. Initial data for word selection will enter the
server in NTEXT format.
Yuri,
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.
What is the difference between the above data types in SQL? Which datatype should I use if I wanted both numbers and characters?

I am trying to convert a single code page MS Server database into a unicode database, using the unicode data types,NCHAR, NVARCHAR, NTEXT. The problem is that in the original database, indexes and constraints have been defined on the tables whose configurations need to be changed. As a result, the ALTER TABLE command fails. Are there any other alternative solutions?
Also, data from the old database needs to be preserved. The objective is to create a unicode database which keeps the old data intact as well as accepts the new data in unicode.
It would be great if you could help!
Thanks,
Sheetal.
Hi i've a staging table were i have datatypes of nchar.
I'd like to convert these to money datatype
Am trying to do this like this but the data return is not correct there is aslo null and blank rows so i must account for them also.

Hi,
I selected the columns which i need in the data source itself and i need 3 columns,one will direclty go to the destination without any change/transformation and about the other two i need to do few lookups.
When i try to do lookup for One column which has the datatype in the source as nchar(3) though the date in the column is a number(like 150,160,170 and so on), my lookup table(a dimension in DW) where i want to get the actual key by looking up with this number doesnt allow me to map to the dimension in the DW, as the Dimension has this column datatype as decimal (3,0)....i tried the datatype conversion to convert the nchar to decimal but it doesnt transform i dont know why...probably i am doing some mistake...Could someone suggest how to deal with this and which transformation to use..?
I'd really appreciate if someone on this forum suggest how to deal with this..?
thanks
ravi
Nothing much that i can do..!!
Hi ,
I have a column in my extract table as nchar(3) and in the destination (the same column with diff name ) it is decimal(3,0) .....i tried to use dataconversion transformation.....i even tried to use cast/convert fn's in the SQL Command (which i use in the "Source Transformation" to get the columns from the extract table).
I tried all the ways i can and still i get the same error..:
[OLE DB Source [1]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR.
An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E07. An OLE

Can we actually do it...?? any help would be appreciated.
