In exporting from a OLEDB connection to a flat file.
In the originating table the field for DOB is in a varchar(10) format ex. 01/17/2007. The flat file connection destination is setup as a DT_STR. When you look at the OLEDB connection table preview you see it as 01/17/2007. When it is export to the delimited <CR><LF> <|> pipe delimited the format looks like this 01/17/2007 00:00:00. The issue would be resolved with a right ragged fixed width file. But this is not the requirement for the project format fot the file. I have tried delete and recreating the connections, and even tried doing a data conversation from the OLEDB connection to a char(10). Also, thourgh the transformation services with out any luck. On the flat file data connection I am using expressions to map to a declared variable path and variable name and I listed the expression language below also:
If you can give some help in getting the file to export to a delimited "|" file in the format of "01/17/2007" this would be greatly aprreciated. I also forgot to mention that I have also tried putting a text qualifier in like" on the flat file destination column layout and get the other format still.
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?
I'm trying, through the SQL 2005 Mgt Studio, to export a simple table in a delimited format. I'm selecting a double quote as the text qualifier. My expectations were that only text type fields would be exported with the double quotes an numerical fields would not have any quotes around them. SQL 2000 does this just fine, but 2005 is exporting all my text type and numeric fields with double quotes. Is this a change to SQL 2005 or am I doing something wrong.
I am new with SSIS and I have a problem that I don€™t know solving it. I have a simple package with a delimited flat file source which is loaded into a table in a SQL Server database. Below is the import format: - Row delimiter: carriage return and line feed {CR/LF} - Column delimiter: Comma {,} - Text qualifier: €œ
In the source file, the data looks like this: €œstring1 €?, 34, €œ€?, , ,€? string2 €œtext1€? string2€? , €œ €œ,
This package with DTS works, but now with SSIS does not, when I see the €œprevious rows€? in the Flat File Connection Manager Editor, the last column has incorrect information and when I create a new file without spaces and without twice €œ€? in the same string, it works. I don€™t know what I am missing with SSIS.
I'm currently having problems exporting formatted dates from reporting services 2005 to excel.
Basically what I require is a way to format a date in reporting services so that it only shows the date without the time (preferably british format) and when it is exported to excel it is still formatted as a date.
This is so the user can sort the data file via date, I appreciate it is easy to select the column and format the cells but i would prefer to have a 'cleaner' solution to this problem which avoids the need for users to be formatting exported reports.
Originally I was formatting the dates as convert(varchar,@date,103) in the SP which converts it to a character string and excel picks this up as a character as would be expected. So I changed this to a date and set about trying to format the date in Reporting Services, so far i've been unsuccesfull using cdate (brings back the time) and format as it again converts it to a character string.
I am using the following useful article regarding exporting a multi-record file: http://vsteamsystemcentral.com/cs21/blogs/steve_fibich/archive/2007/09/25/multi-record-formated-flat-file-with-ssis.aspx
I have created the 2 datasources, ordering each on a field commmon to both.
I have created the two derived columns headers and am now moving on to the merge.
It is failing with the following error: "the input is not sorted"
And whilst I definitely have an order by on the query, when I look at the metadata between the datasource and the derived column, the Sort Key Position items displays "0" for all my fields, I was expecting the sort field to have a "1" in this column. What am I missing?
I am trying to setup ssis data flow package to export a smalldatetime field to just date only. I have changed the dattype to datbase date [DT_DBDATE] AND ALSO [DT_DATE] but it still exports datetime format. What is the best and easiest way to setup flat file connection manager to only export date and not the time. Do I have to add another setup to convert to date only?
Sometimes when I export files from SQL Server Management Studio in delimited text format, some of the fields end up being fixed width rather than trimmed (trailing spaces removed). Is this a bug? Other than specifically trimming every variable in my select, is there anything I can do about it? Also, how do I report a bug?
When exporting a report to another format, say excel,PDF; the file name is always set to the report name. Our client has a requirement where whenever a user exports a report to pdf, the timestamp of when the data of the report was made should be appended in the filename. Is there a way to do this in Reporting Services ?
example : Report name : Testreport
Exported file should be : Testingreport-November-22-2007.pdf
Has any one managed to get Report Manager to have the option to export to pipe delimited? There are documents out there how to do it on SSRS; I need it on Report Manager. Any Suggestions?

I have created SSRS report which has many overlapping objects, the output in PDF format seems to good but in word format it is not giving the required output.
Our customer wants to display the exporting date only in the exported file when exports a report to PDF/Excel (we are using ReportViewer Control in ASP.NET). Can anybody tell me how to achieve this?
E.g, i have a store procedure. The start date is long date (4/15/2007 3:00pm). i want to select the start date with a particular date (short date format 4/15/2006). Thanks in advance.
We are using an ADO.NET provider in SSIS to read data from a SQL Server 2000 table that contains DateTime columns to write to a Flat File Destination. When the date values are written to the file they are formatted in TimeStamp to the 10th decimal position; e.g.€œ2006-04-24 12:00:00.123000000€?. Since SQL Server supports values to Timestamp(3), we need to truncate the last seven zeros to put the data in this format €œ2006-04-24 12:00:00.123€? to keep the file as small as possible.
Since we have several hundred DateTime columns in scope for our requirements we are looking for the least logic/effort to accomplish this task. We can do this via Data Conversion and Derived Column transformations to cast the dates and strings but it is very labor intensive. It would be something like singing 99 bottles of beer on the wall eight times in a row with each verse taking 3 minutes each. Yikes.
We have tried casting the DateTime columns to varchar in the SELECT statement but receive this format €œApr 24 2006 12:22PM€?.
Is there a configuration we've missed that forces timestamp(10) with non significant digits?
I've a text file which having a datetime column value like YYYY-MM-DD-HH.MM.SS.XXXXXX. I cannot convert this is to datetime format from text file using BCP utility.Â
Presence of hypen "-" between DD and HH, the SQL server does not accept this is as Datetime.
Is there any option to covert the date value in format file in BCP.
I am trying get my VB6 application to insert a record into a table (SQL Express) which has a datetime column but it would not process if the data format is differ to *American Date format*.
The date() function in VB returns 15/11/2006 which is in Australian Date format (DD/MM/YYYY) according to my setting in "Reginal and Lanuage Option-> Locale 0> English (Australia)" setting.
I get the following error:
Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Server KITSQLEXPRESS, Line 1 The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value. The statement has been terminated.
My computer's locale is set to English (Australia) and I expect the datetime format would follow what is set in system locale
I've read an article somewhere on the net about how SQL 2005 eliminate the confusion of date conversion when read/write datetime records into a table...but it seems to me that it is still as in-flexible as MS Access
Is there a setting in the database that takes care of it?
I have a report, I can export it to Excel, XML and other format ..but I can not export it to .CSV format ...only thing I see in CSV file is some garbage character in first row,first column.
I have RS 2005.
How can I make this thing work ?? How can I export report to CSV format ?
I have a column date in my database which I should send it to Oracle database. The Date format in Oracle is number. I don’t know how should I convert the date to that format? Example : SQL FormatOracle Format 02/16/05 105046
Hi I am trying to export data from SQL which is ok and I can do that part. However from the result of the query I need to add the values of certain columns. Because I'm a newbie to SQL I'll explain and try and show images as best as I can as we go.... So far I have written a query select Stockitem.code, Warehouseitem.ConfirmedQtyInStock, Warehouseitem.UnConfirmedQtyInStock, Warehouseitem.QuantityAllocatedStock, Warehouseitem.QuantityAllocatedBOM, Warehouseitem.QuantityAllocatedSOP, WarehouseItem.WarehouseIDfrom WarehouseItem INNER JOIN StockItem ONWarehouseItem.ItemID = Stockitem.itemidINNER JOIN BinItem ONBinitem.itemid = stockitem.itemidwhere WarehouseItem.WarehouseID = '3403' AND BinItem.BinName LIKE 'S%' AND BinItem.BinName <> 'S' OR BinItem.BinName LIKE 'T%' AND BinItem.BinName <> 'T'order by stockitem.code This returns the following results.... Code ConfirmedQtyInStock UnConfirmedQtyInStock QuantityAllocatedStock QuantityAllocatedBOM QuantityAllocatedSOP WarehouseID 12345 96.00000 .00000 .00000 3.00000 13.00000 3403 Now I am trying to find out the amount of freestock available for everything with the WarehouseID 3403. Therefore in the example above to be able to workout how many '12345' (Code) we have in stock, the equation used to find out the free stock available is as follows.... Free Stock = (ConfirmedQtyInStock + UnConfirmedQtyInStock) – (QuantityAllocatedStock+ QuantityAllocatedBOM + QuantityAllocatedSOP) Therefore if I manually use the equation above the amount of freestock available = Free Stock = (96+0) - (0+3+13) = 80 (free stock). Then once I have the equation to be able to output the 'freestock' quantity, I need to export the results into an excel spreadsheet with the following layout... ColumnA Code,FreeStock 12345,80 Hope I've explained this in a good manner, any help would be gratefully received. Simba
i am using enterprise manager to create a csv file from sql table. when i do this the date 11/11/2007 gets changed to 11/11/2007 00:00 is there a way of stoping it adding the time bit
Hi I am trying to export an table data to csv format. The problem here is the table columns are dynamic. The DTS exports only the columns available during the DTS design time and it ignores if any new columns are added after the design. I need solution for this asap. Thanks SqlJerin
I have a problem with the number format when i export my reports to excel with Reporting Services. I set numbers as currency with the command FormatCurrency() in visual studio, but when i export the report to excel, the numbers are considered as text.
I need to generate a  report in XML format . Expected XML format isÂ
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>   <ns:SPO xmlns:ns="urn:abc:SparePartOrder">   <SPOrecset> <SPOK> <ZCODE>O</ZCODE> <KNDNR>00009999</KNDNR>
[Code] ....
I have tried two methods to get the above XML format.
1. Modified  XML Nodes - Created a stored procedure which returns the required informations from database. To get the XML format I have modified  XML Nodes using  DataElementName property from SSRS. I have added the following code in rsreportserver.
      <Extension Name="Custom XML"  Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.XmlDataReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering">       <OverrideNames>               <Name Language="en-US">Custom XML</Name>
[Code] ...
When I run the report and export it to XML , I got the XML as given below.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>     <Report Name="POExportToGermany">      <SPOrecset>          <SPOK_Collection>
[code] ...
Here the format is not in the expected format.
 2. Using Stored Procedure:- Using Stored procedure I am able to  create the expected XML format.Â
When i click on this link I can see the data in expected XML format. But the problem is I am not able to show this data in report. Dataset is showing the above .XML as given below. How can I generate report using  SSRS  with expected XML format?  What are the procedures to get the above XML format.

I am using SSRS 2008 R2 and have a report set up on a subscription to be exported to a .TXT file and placed in a network drive folder. The report generates as it should and is placed in the network folder as it should and the file format is .TXT. However, when the text file is uploaded to an ftp site, the results of the very first record within the system the file is uploaded to, has 3 weird leading characters.
But the rest of the records are imported perfectly, as they should be. The system that the file is being uploaded into is not our system, it is a system at a USA Today Newspaper office and is an IBM iSeries server with the programming language of LANSA (Never heard of it).
I have edited the report server configuration file to give the ability to export the report to a .TXT file format and I have included the code snippet on here. Maybe I have missed something, not sure. I have also included the screenshot of the file upload results that were sent to me by USA Today. Is there anything I can do to get those 3 characters to not show up in the first record?
