Trying to write the below in an expression box, I still have not figured out an equivalent to IN? in SQL syntax, so far Ive had to use OR? to get it to work. Anyone know the right way? Im trying to avoid writing this in the stored proc
Example:
Iif (Fields!INVESTOR_NBR.Value in (0, 265, 465), "DIRECT", "PARTICIPATIONS")
...For Oracles DECODE function?
I am trying to get a conditional output RETURNed to the Grid output and have not found it in SQL Help. Help!!!
Here is Oracles example:
Select Distinct City,
DECODE (City, 'Cincinnati', 'Queen City', 'New York', 'Big Apple', 'Chicago',
'City of Broad Shoulders', City) AS Nickname
From Cities;
Is it possible to use the REPLACE function in SQL Server 2000 so thatit returns a string containing only alpha-numeric characters (muchlike using regular expressions)?Thank you in advance for any suggestion.Darren.

I'd like to perform an update on a database only when certain conditions are met. Hence, one of those conditions would be a positive answer from the user running the query. Basically, I'd like to display a message with a yes/no option for the user to choose from. If and only if the user user selects the YES option should we perform the update.
Inside a transact SQL "IF ... THEN", how can I achieve this?

what is the equivalent of val() function in SQL server?
and cstr() function
Hi,
I have successfully created a CLR function (C#) in SQL 2005 and call it from a stored procedure. I need to be able to provide the same functionality for SQL 2000 servers. Is this at all possible? I have read loads of conflicting information on the web about using COM to access the dll can it be done or not? The function accepts serveral input parameters and internally access the data store using a context connection and a datareader.
Thanks.
Hi All,
Once again I find myself smacking my head into a wall (and it will probably be for naught). I'm trying to find a specific character in a string within a specific record. I've tried substring, but it's not quite getting me where I want to be. I even tried "nesting" the substring and got nowhere (but I could have had the syntax wrong when I nested it).
Here is a sample
Select substring(productimagefile, 20, 5)
from my table
What I need is something like this:
Select substring(findoneof(productimagefile, _r, 1), 1, 5)
from my table
Actually, on the start of the substring, I need it to be where it finds the _r, just not sure how to tell it that.
The replace function is the closest I've seen to what I need, but I don't want to replace it with anything, I just need to find it in the string.
So, if anyone has any ideas, I'd be grateful (and my head would stop hurting....)

I want to know the equivalent of the Oracle translate function in SQL Server.
eg : select translate('entertain', 'et', 'ab') from dual.
I tried the SQL Server Replace function , but it replaces only one character or a sequence of character and not each occurrence of each of the specified characters given in the second argument i.e 'et'.
Please let me know if there is some other equivalent function in SQL Server
thanks.

I have an internal Project Management and Scheduling app that I wrote internally for my company. It was written to use MySQL running on a Debian server, but I am going to move it to SQL Server 2000 and integrate it with our Accounting software. The part I am having trouble with is the user login portion. I previously used this:
PHP Code:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = "$username" AND user_password = password("$password")";
Apparently the password() function is not available when accessing SQL Server via ODBC. Is there an equivalent function I could use isntead so the passwords arent plaintext in the database? I only have 15 people using the system so a blank pwd reset wouldn't be too much trouble.
When creating expressions we have access to a list of functions. It is my understanding that while these functions seem to have the same names and parameters as SQL functions, they are not so. They are implemented in the package libraries themselves. It is also my understanding that this function library cannot be extended to add new ones.
Am I correct? If so... why not?
Leaving alone the fact that they follow the same screwy names as SQL (instead of .NET on which SSIS is built on) and what seems to be a limited library (i.e. You have YEAR(), MONTH(), DAY() functions but no HOUR(), MINUTE(), or SEC() functions -- instead you have to use DATEPART())
I mean honestly... a common expression for most people is using date and times for folder and filenames... So instead of a simple .NET type expression of DateTime.ToString("yyyyMMdd") or Format(DateTime.Now, "yyyyMMdd_hhmmss") I end up with the very complex:
(DT_STR, 4, 1252) YEAR( GETDATE() ) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) MONTH( GETDATE() ), 2) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) DAY( GETDATE() ), 2) + "_" + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) DATEPART("hour", GetDate()), 2) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) DATEPART("minute", GetDate()), 2) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) DATEPART("second", GetDate()), 2)
Personally I find myself using Script Tasks and Variables to "build" my expressions and just use Expressions to set the property to the variable. (Which I think may defeat the full purpose of expressions.)
Any thoughts?
How do I add comments to expressions I create in Reporting Services?

Hello all,
I have come across a road block once again and it is probably something fairly easy to do. I have 3 queries that give counts with different criteria. They are:
SELECT building, COUNT(asmt_number) AS Cnt FROM dbo.mr_gb_asmt WHERE (school_year = 2008) AND (due_date <= CONVERT (DATETIME, '2007-10-26 00:00:00', 102)) AND (publish_scores = 'N') GROUP BY building ORDER BY building SELECT building, COUNT(asmt_number) AS Cnt FROM dbo.mr_gb_asmt WHERE (school_year = 2008) AND (due_date <= CONVERT (DATETIME, '2007-10-26 00:00:00', 102)) GROUP BY building ORDER BY building SELECT building, COUNT(asmt_number) AS Cnt FROM dbo.mr_gb_asmt WHERE (school_year = 2008) AND (due_date <= CONVERT (DATETIME, '2007-10-26 00:00:00', 102)) AND (publish_asmt = 'N') GROUP BY building ORDER BY building
My question is how can I combine these three queries into one so that I only get one record set?
Thanks for all the help!
Hi, the Microsoft SQL Server version is 2000
Basically I want use a basic regular expression but can't seem to get the syntax right.
i want to compare ID_short = ID_Long
ID_short is a truncated version of ID_Long, and I want to search on the beginning only (hence I can't use the 'LIKE' comparative on it's own).
What is the syntax to use Reg Expressions (or if anyone knows a non RegExp way of searching the beginning please let me know).
Thanks
I'm building SSIS packages through code and I would like to set the properties of some custom tasks (not data flow tasks) to expressions. I've done some searches but turned up nothing. This is the only thing I'm hitting a brick wall on at the moment; Books Online has been excellent in detailing how to create packages via code up to this point.
For the sake of argument, let's say I want to set the SqlStatementSource property of an Execute SQL task to this value:
"INSERT INTO [SomeTable] VALUES (NEWID(), '" + @[User:omeStringVariable] + "')"
What would the code look like?
Hey everyone,
I know that you can make an expression that will make it one color if a certain condition is met and a different one if it is not but is there anyway to make it so that if a number is less than another it's one color, if it's greater it's a different color and if they're equal it's a third color? Thanks for the help.

Good Morning all.
Is it possible to put multiple expressions in one cell.
Here is an example of the expressions I'm using. I'm currently having to put them horizontally in a seperate cell.
=Count(IIf (Trim(Fields!NOB_Pickup_L_D_T.Value) = "Y", 1, Nothing))
=Count(IIf (Trim(Fields!NOB_Pickup_L_D_T.Value) = "N", 1, Nothing))
=Count(IIf (Trim(Fields!NOB_Pickup_L_D_T.Value) = "NA", 1, Nothing))
Desired output will look sim to this in one cell
Y = 5
N = 3
NA = 0
Thanks,

Is there any way to write C# code in SQL Server Reporting Services?

I am attempting to implement the following case statement BEFORE getting the data in to my destination table but I don't know how to create an expression for it.
In the mapping section of my OLE DB destination component I can only do mapping but I can't actually manipulate the data before it gets to the destination table.
What do I have to do to implement :
case
when SOPD.PRICE_TOP_NUMBER is NULL then -8
else SOPD.PRICE_TOP_NUMBER
end AS price_top_number,
before it goes to the destination column?!

Hello,
When i select jan month i should display december and previous year using expressions. plz advice me.
I have a unusual problem, well it is unusual becaue i cannot understand it.
I am retrieving the following data, Revenue, Sales, Commission, and calculating Commission Rate in the report itself.
I got warnings that a textbox that was attempting to calculate the Commission Rate was trying to divide by zero.
When I analysed the data, I realised that indeed there were instances when Revenue was 0.00 and therefore when calculating the commission rate, commission/revenue it returned an error.
I then thought I'd do the following in the expression field
=iif((Fields!RevenueGbp.Value = 0.00), "Zero", (Fields!Commission.ValueGbp/Fields!RevenueGbp.Value))
However this does not work. However if i tried the following Boolean query
=iif((Fields!RevenueGbp.Value = 0.00), "Zero", Fields!CommissionGbp.Value)
it does work. In fact if I use any other identifier or use two field thats add, subtract or multiplied with each other it will work. The problem only arises is when I decide to divide two fields together.
Strangely if the condition is satisfied - [Fields!RevenueGbp.Value = 0.00] - it will still try to work out the division even though it should just return Zero!
Anyone help?

I need to create a While Loop with the FOR LOOP task.
According to my SSIS book, "to set up a While Loop in the For Loop, simply create an expression that tests a variable that can be modified by some workflow either inside or outside the For Loop"
What I want to do is, put an FTP task (whose job it is to receive a file) inside the For Loop.
I want the control flow to go like:
FOR LOOP --> FTP task --> file received? --> NO --> set variable 0 --> FOR LOOP --> check for variable --> is variable 1? --> NO --> FOR LOOP --> FTP task
and so on, until the variable is set to 1, indicating the successful transfer of the file
According to my book, this can be done simply with the use of expressions.
My question is, how do I write the expressions, both for the FTP task (which will set the variable to 0 or 1), and then the expression for the For Loop, which will evaluate the variable in its expression?
So, seems like I need to write 2 expressions, but not sure how.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

I was thinking that if I return the results a single expression (concantenate?) then I could bind that to the dropdown. I'm not sure as how to go about this. Also, the month returned is numeric and I would rather have the name of the month returned (like "July" instead of "7"). Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm in the process of building a site and converting views/tables/queries from an Access database to SQL. I've done this quite a few times, and never had any significant issues I couldn't figure out on my own.
In Enterprise Manager, I've created a view and in the query, I need to create an alias that is similar to below:
SELECT ((monthmult) + ((b2avg*15)-(av2*10)) + (lp1+lp2) + ((b1avg*30)-(av1*20))) as PIndexValue
which is how the formula reads in the Access view.
However, when I got to run the query, SQL strips out all of the parentheses and calculates the value in left to right order:
(monthmult + b2avg*15-av2*10 + lp1+lp2 + b1avg*30-av1*20) as PIndexValue
Which gives me an incorrect value.
Does anyone know why this is happening, or am I just unaware of the right way of doing it?
Thank you,
