How can I replace more than 1, different character, in the same value / cell?
e.g. ångermüller should become angermueller (å to a, and ü to ue)
Multiple combinations of special characters are possible in 1 word: é and á, or ö and à etc etc
Is there a way to do this?
Hello,
Im currently working with a DTS-package used for importing a Excelsheet into SQL-server.
I have a "Microsoft Excel 97-2000" as source and a "Microsoft OLE DB" as destination.
A "Transformation Data Task" is used to shuffle the data.
The package works ok as long as the path for the Excelsheet doesn't exceed 128 characters! Then it gets truncated at 128 characters and of course the data task can't find the file......
I can browse to my excelsheet, and when I look at the path it's ok. But when I close the package and then opens it again the path is truncated at 128 characters. Grrrr.
Is this a set limit in SQL Server or is it something I can mail the databaseadministrator about tomorrow?
How could I go about doing the following:
I have a column with lets say
AHA1
AHA2
AHA3
AHE1
AHE2
ARL1
ARL2
How could I make a column next to it that is basically the same but cuts off anything after the third letter? So this new column would look like:
AHA
AHA
AHA
AHE
AHE
ARL
ARL
Thanks!

Hi, all:I'd heard that the upper row limit in SQL of 6080 bytes may have beenincreased with SP3.Can anyone confirm/deny this? Is this still a 'carved-in-stone' uppercap?Thanks,DW.

I am not sure about the architecture of the Issue Tracker and hence not sure if it applies here. But I will post in any case and wait for users on this forums comments as well.
===========Earlier post==================
This question is regarding the architecture of TimeEntry.
In some programs it builds an arrayList for Master-detail type of relationship and when user is ready to save it by clicking 'submit' it build a variable with pipe delimited fields.
This is then passed to a sql query.
This to me does not seem to be an efficient manner. Because the max character is 1500 chars as parameter to SQL query.
I was wondering if instead I could store it as an XML and then use the XML to import in to SQL.
Any ideas is greatly appreciated, I am running in to problems where my variable construct does increase to more than 1500 chars. Any thoughts are much appreciated in this regards.

Hi!
What I'd like to do is:
UPDATE table1
SET
A_TEXT_COLUMN = (SELECT another_text_column
FROM table2
WHERE table2_id = @precomputed_id_1)
WHERE table1_ID = @precomputed_id_2
Since the cells are text, this does not work. Since the cell to be updated is in an already exitant row, it's not possible to simply use insert.
I'd like to do something like (PSEUDOcode):
WRITETEXT(table1.A_TEXT_COLUMN, READTEXT(@textptr_initialised_to_point_at_target_c ell))
But the *actual* synatx of WRITETEXT and READTEXT seem totally inappropriate for any such trick...
Any hints or pointers HUGELY appreciated... THANX
Hi,
I'm working with MRS and I've got a table with a lot of entries. For each value in the table I'm trying to get the text colour to be set to 'red' when the value of the cell is less than 0. Otherwise remain black.
I can do this by setting the colour property cell by cell. But I have a lot of cells in the table. Is there a way to set the statement to apply to ALL cells in the table?
Basically I'm asking if there is a way to set the property in bulk instead of going through tediously cell by cell.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi everybody,
I would like to know if there is any property in sql2000 database to separate lowercase characters from uppercase characters. I mean not to take the values €˜child€™ and €˜Child€™ as to be the same. We are transferring our ingres database into sqlserver. In ingres we have these values but we consider them as different values. Can we have it in sqlserver too?

Hello All, i am trying to create a normal ASP.NET application using VS2005. Yesterday i was adding tables.. entering data from within "View Table Data" tab, but today i am unable to do any data insertion or updating except by entering the insert or update statement by hand. When updating data of existing record or trying to add new data, it reports that "Cell is readonly!". I did not modify any settings or configuration and actually did nothing to set it to readonly! I am quite confused to be honest and writing sql statements by hand is kinda time consuming for me if i want to update a single field. What can i do to re-enable data modifications from VS2005 without reporting readonly? Thanks,Rakan
View 1 Replies View RelatedSECURITY USING CELL-SECURITY:
From what i've read cell security s enforced on the client. If someone is able to gain access to a machine running the client (for example an application server or a web server) he is able to get cell values independently of the fact that those values will be defined as #N/A in the secured cell value property. The real value is travelling between theAnalysis Server and the application server. Is this true ? How can we effectively garantee true security ?
Hi,
I updated my db system from access to sql 2005.
But, i can not add new recors to database.
I'm receiving this error:
"""Invalid value for cell (row 3914, column 2).
The changed value in this cell was not recognized as valid.
.Net Framework Data Type: Int32
Error Message: Input str?ng was not in a correct format.
Type a value appropriate for the data type or press ESC to cancel the change."""
It can not open new id number. DataType was Auto Number in Access. Which can I select in SQL 2005?
Thank you.

Hi,
In SQL 2000 I used to be able to open a table in Enterprise Manager and make changes or Update with Query Analyser. Now when I attempt this in SQL 2005 I am told that the Cell is Read Only.
How do I update this column as I cannot find a read-only or allow updates property anywhere?
Please help,
A very frustrated user
HI All,
I changed the join type and did some modifications to the query in the query designer. Then I executed the query. Resutls are shown in query designer. But it says Cell is read only. Therefore when I change the tap from data to preview , I can not view the report.
This happens only when I use generic query builder.
Does anybody know how to change the read only option ?
Thanks

Hi!
Anyone knows how to select
only certain data from one data field?
Lets say i have this field which captures

I need to select only "John Doe".
Any help is deeply appreciated.
Thank you!!

Declare @num1 char(5)
Set @num1 = (SELECT ltrim(Substring(ltrim(number2), 8, CHARINDEX(' ', ltrim(number2)))) FROM Num2played)
SELECT @num1 FROM Num2played

Is there a way to mask the contents of a cell or column? I have a table that stores passwords and I would like to mask the password much like Access does with asterisks. I know I can restrict the column based on user but that creates other problems on the frontend.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created a report that uses a fairly complex IIF statement to sum the data. That part works just fine. Now I need to format the font color so negative values show in red. Is there a way to reference the individual cell (by its textbox name maybe?) in the Expression Editor?
For example, if tb_Orders was the name of the textbox that sums the data, I'd like to write something like:
=switch(tb_Orders < 0, "Red")
I could just copy the IIF statement but I'd rather keep things simple. This way, if I need to change the formulas, I don't have to change all of the conditional formatting as well.
Is this possible?
