Hi,
How can I convert a text file (.txt) into SQL in ASP.net 2.0 ? The sample of the file format is like that ...
09/03/2007 08:41 "Fung, Kitty" Granted Access D1 Main 2354 111
09/03/2007 08:42 "Ng, Jaclyn" Granted Access D1 Main 21906 18

I have the following Query which gives the output in XML format.
select * from <Table_Name> For XML auto
I wanted to store this output in a .Xml file at my local machine.
I would prefer to have a proc when called generates the xml and stores it on the local m/c. Any ideas ?
Thanks,
Hi,
I have a database of over 200 tables. I want to delete data in about 100 tables. It's hard for me to delete because there are so many dependencies. I wind up tracing each table until I find the end and then deleting backwards. Is there a script I can run where I can get a textual view of which tables are related to which tables (foreign key constraints). I don't want to hit 'display dependencies' on each table. I know I can look at logical diagram but with a database of over 200 tables, it is hard to look at it.
Thanks,
Angel
I have a column of text 010208 that is suppose to be a date. How can I changeformat this column to read 01/02/2008?

We are using an old version of Numara TrackIT for our helpdesk software, and it doesn't have much in the way of configurable options. There is no way to set validation or formatting on the text fields in the program.
There is a field, WO_TEXT1, Which I would like to be formatted as 6 characters, 3 integers + a period + 2 integers. The first the integers would be padded with zeros on the left, and the last 2 integers would be padded with zeros on the right.
IE, if someone enters 2, it would actually end up being 002.00
If someone enters 3.5 it would end up being 003.50
If someone enters 12.1 it would end up being 012.10
If someone enters 172.80 it would end up being 172.80
I was hoping to achieve this via an update trigger.
Below is the guts of the trigger I created, mostly as a proof of concept.
-- This update properly formats the Estimated Hours field
Update t SET WO_TEXT1 = (SELECT RIGHT('000000' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(6), WO_TEXT1), 6) FROM inserted)
FROM dbo.TASKS as t
Where (EXISTS (SELECT * FROM inserted WHERE WOID = 24773));
I expected that this update trigger would only affect the Work Order with a WOID of 24773. Unfortunately, it updated all 21000 work orders in our system, wiping out all of the actual estimated hours that had been inserted by technicians!
Luckily I had a report that I could quick dump the 300 or so active work order's estimated hours back into the DB from (all the other Work orders are closed, and no one really cares about their estimated hours).
My question is three fold,
1) Why did my trigger update every record in the tasks table instead of just WO 24773?
2) Is using a trigger the best way of accomplishing what I'm trying to do?
3) if a trigger is the best way of accomplishing this, what should my trigger look like?
Hello. I am in the process of migrating an old app to SQL Server. The old app reads hundreds of different flat file formats. One of the more complex ones is a multi-format delimited file. For example:
01^Bob Johnson^123 Main St^Anytown^St
02^Book1^$20
02^Book2^$30
03^Gift Cert^Happy Birthday^$100
This file is delimited with the ^ character. Note that the first 2 characters identify the row type. All 01 rows have data in the format: Name, Street Address, City, State. All 02 have data in the format: Book name, price. Etc.
Any clever ideas on how to parse this? I tried setting it up as a flat file source with the ^ delimiter. It doesn't work - in this example it wraps the third row to the end of the second row and keeps adding columns to fill out the row.
The only option that I can think of is to pull the entire row into one long column, and then use a script component to manually substring each column out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,
I have a text file contains data extracted from security logs from from different servers. The format of the data looks like this
Header row
Computer,LogFile,Type,Source,EventID,EventCode,User,Date,Time,Category,CategoryString,EventType,Description
Detail row
ServerName,Security,Audit Success,Security,540,540,DomainUserName,20061231,13:36,2,Logon/Logoff,4,Successful Network Logon:
User Name: UserName
Domain: Domain
Logon ID: (0x0,0xD4118FE)
Logon Type: 3
Logon Process: Kerberos
Authentication Package: Kerberos
Workstation Name:
Logon GUID: {4bcdc9b4-4caa-ce31-b202-459f1865a477}
Caller User Name: -
Caller Domain: -
Caller Logon ID: -
Caller Process ID: -
Transited Services: -
Source Network Address: XX.XX.XXX.XX
Source Port: 0
If I tries to extract data as Delimited the columns are not containing the same data for each row as there are some wired characters in the "Description" filed.
How can I extract this data as proper csv file? If not is there a way to extract only ther first line in detail row as shown below
Success,Security,540,540,DomainUserName,20061231,13:36,2,Logon/Logoff,4,Successful Network Logon:
If I tries to extract as Fixed Width, it still not work. Kindly suggest, How I can achive this.
Hi,
Can aybody help me in the below requirement.
I have a report like below:
<<Name Of Compnay>>
<<Name Of Report>>
<<Todays Date>>
<<ReportPeriod>> From Date - To date
The above is header and then the data in the report should come as the <<Data>> and # to be used as separator for columns.
163 #GXXX #ABC Comp Ltd. #DTDC#PPPP ABC XYZ ETC #111
*End Of Report*
How can I get this exported as it is to the .txt file?
Currently I have acheived this with SSIS, where I have kept the header template, footer template in my folder. The SSIS generates the .txt file and then I use the execute process transformation to merge the files and data. I am getting the exact o/p as I want. But in this I am intorducing lot of IO in the package by every time creating a new header for the data to be replaced as todays date and the period to be replaced by the user selected Report Period.
How can this be achived using SSRS? Is any custome code required?
Thanks in advacne for your help.

I've got a field I'm trying to convert into a date format as it currently sits as a text field. The date setup is of the format DD/MM/YYYY. Some of the fields are NULL, however for the sake of filling in gaps I've just set the nulls to '01-01-1905'.
I've tried to use CAST to change the data into a readable format for SQL Server however I tend to get one of two messages:
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.
-Or-

I need to search a nvarchar field based on the format of the text. This field holds values in two formats: 000 000 000 000 and 000000. I only want to search through the records that are in the 000 000 000 000 format. Can anyone give me direction on how to go about doing this or give me some key words to search for on Google? Fixing this problem is not an option. This is a county tax DB from a poor county with almost a million records in it.
Thanks for the help!
I want the users of my site to be able to write a couple of paragraphs, save it to SQL Server and then have it read back and look the same. I don't want the users to be able to add any html to the text they submit. I just want them to be able to seperate or indent their paragraphs.
At one point, I had a textbox that saved text to the server and read it back the same way it was originally inputed. However, I can't figure our what I had done to make it work.
Any ideas?
Thanks
How to convert MM/YYYY to MM/DD/YYYY and also YYYY to 01/01/YYYY.

One purchased app stored user's multiple lines input into a varchar column in which including char(13) and char(10).
My app need to select this value and format to multiple lines text in one text box.
How to code to output it?
We are using the bcp utility (via APIs) to export data from a SQL tablein a fixed format text file. BCP is inserting spaces for a field ifthe field contains a NULL. This is fine with us except at the end ofthe line, there are no spaces for that field just the end-of-rowterminator prematurely, so it looks like that field is not present andmesses up another piece of software we pump the text file into downstream.Example -- The last row illustrates the problem.123-49-890 Mary Smith Raleigh NC
999-88-123 Henry Ax Boston MA
456-99-123 Sue Kite WA
789-88-126 Andy Yates Philadelphia
We have thought about using a SQL query to convert the NULL dataexplicitly to spaces, but were wondering is there a switch or somethingin our format file to get around this.Thanks.
How to align the text in justify format In SQL server Reporting Services? Is there any code to do so?
Hi. Im new to SQL and I need to export a SQL table as a comma delimited text file which is straight forward. However two of the fields are integers and I need these to be right justified with zero's.
In Access I would use something like format(columnname, "00000000") to get it to work, but SQL Server doesn't like this.
How can I do this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHey All,
Similar to a previous post (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=244646&SiteID=1), I am trying to import data into a SQL Table.
I am trying to program a small application that will import product data obtained through suppliers via CD-ROM. One supplier in particular uses Fixed width colums, and data looks like this:
Example of Data
0124015Apple Crate 32.12
0124016Bananna Box 12.56
0124017Mango Carton 15.98
0124018Seedless Watermelon 42.98
My Table would then have:
ProductID as int
Name as text
Cost as money
How would I go about extracting the data with an XML Format file? I am stumbling over how to tell it where to start picking up data for a specific column.
Is there any way that I could trim the Name column (i.e.: "Mango Carton " --> "Mango Carton")?
I don't know if it makes any difference, but I've been calling SQL from my code by doing this:
Code in C# Form
SqlConnection SqlConnection = new SqlConnection(global::SQLClients.Properties.Settings.Default.ClientPhonebookConnectionString);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO PhonebookTable(Name, PhoneNumber) VALUES('" + txtName.Text.ToString() + "', '" + txtPhoneNumber.Text.ToString() + "')";
cmd.Connection = SqlConnection;
SqlConnection.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
SqlConnection.Close();
RefreshData();
I am running Visual Studio C# Express 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005.

Hi,
Using RAISERROR from within a stored prcedure will result in a SQLException being thrown at the client side of a JDBC connection.
I am trying to provide a meaningfull error message to be shown to the end user. However, all exceptions thrown will inevitably start with : "[Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC][SQLServer]". The following questions then arise :
- Is there a way of configuring SQL Server not to display this header ?
alternatively,
- Is there another way of conveying error messages to the client through JDBC ?
Thank you for your answers,
Ben

Hi All,
I am stuck at one place, where I have to convert CSV format file data into SAP IDOC format file. In SSIS we don't have any such SAP adapter (though we have .NET Data Provider for mySAP suite [SSIS SAP Adapter] but this is still not fully supported by Microsoft, plus it doesn't have feature to convert data into IDOC format) that can do this. Can someone here please provide me some pointers on any third party adapters available in market to do this job or if anyone has already developed some custom approach to achieve this task?
Your quick response on this is highly appreciated.
