I wanted to know how to insert line breaks while updating the database. Even if I have a number of paragraphs......everything is displayed as one single paragraph. How do i display text in paragraphs ?
Hope someone can help me out. Thanks in advance.
I hope I'm posting this in the correct forum (forgive me if I'm not) since I'm not sure if this is an issue with inserting an item into a db or the processing of what I get out of it. I wrote a basic commenting system in which someone my post a comment about something written on the site. I wanted to keep it very simple, but I at least want the ability for a user to have newlines in their comment without having to hardcode a <br /> or something like that. Is there a way for me to detect a newline if someone, for example, is going to their next paragraph?
Let me know if you need a better explanation.
Thanks in advance!
I am fairly new to SQL Server. I work for an Internet sofware company building web sites for our customers.
I am trying to insert JavaScript ad tags into a text field in my db. It seems that when the calling web page is rendered the line breaks are removed from the js code and it does not function properly. I've doubled up all of the single quotes and the line breaks appear in the insert statement but do not make it to the front side of my web site.
I have a field in a db table which is like a chat history.I need to update the field with a user's input (put into a multiline text box) and append that to the beginning of the field.The problem is that I want to maintain line breaks when I retrieve the field into a multiline textbox (aka textarea) and can't figure it out.I've searched around and have seen lots of solutions for converting line breaks into <br> tags, but those people are trying to output to a label.I'm using an update command in my SqlDataSource like this: UpdateCommand="UPDATE [account] SET [history] = @history + history WHERE [id] = 1"With a parameter declaration like this: <UpdateParameters> <asp:ControlParameter Name="history" ControlID="TextBox1" PropertyName="Text" /> </UpdateParameters>If I try to concatenate in a or CHR(10), the characters are literally inserted. Like this for example (this is the last variation I tried).... UpdateCommand="UPDATE [account] SET [history] = @history + CHR(10) + history WHERE [id] = 1"How do I store a CrLf programatically?

I have e-mails saved in a SQL database with all HTML formatting information.
To remove all HTML formatting I craeted a function on the RS report:
Public Shared Function removeHtmlChar(ss)
try
Dim l as integer
Dim i as integer
Dim ch as string
Dim x as integer
Dim t as string
t = ""
l=len(ss)
for i=1 to l
ch=mid(ss,i,1)
x=i
if(ch="<") then
x=i
do while(mid(ss,x,1)<>">")
x=x+1
loop
else
t=t & ch
end if
i=x
next
t = t.Replace("nbsp;"," ")
removeHtmlChar = t
catch
removeHtmlChar = ""
end try
End Function
When I look at the report on the screen the report is showed correct.
If I print or export the report it add a lot of line breaks in the e-mail text.
Why does it not print it as it looks at the screen?
Hello,
I have a series of fixed width files, all with the same schema. I need to import the data into a SQL Server table. Each record in the flat file begins with 'D1'. The length of each record (string) is 380. There are cases where the record ends after position 193, and a new record appears in the current string beginning at position 194. So at position 194 'D' appears, and '1' appears at position 195.
In the flat file, I need to insert a line break after position 193 if position 194 = 'D' and if position 195 = '1'. I'm guessing I would do this with a Script Component Transformation. Once the file is edited, then I can bring the data into the table.
What might the script look like? If you have any suggestions, samples, or know of examples on the web you can point me to, please share.
Thank you for your help!

Is there something I can do in layout mode to cause line breaks to only occur when data changes? I am creating a list of students and their degrees, but some students have multiple degrees and some only have one. If I place the information in a table with a blank row for a break, it breaks after every degree, but without the break there are no breaks at all.
Here's what I want:
Student
degree
degree
Student
degree
Student
degree
degree
degree
But what I have is:
Student
degree
degree
Student
degree
Student
degree
degree
degree
Is there any way to fix this, perhaps with an expression of some kind?
Hello,
Since SQL 2005 Express doesn't appear to let you paste multiple lines of data into a cell -- a task as "basic" as the Commodore 64 -- I'm forced to enter the data for 2 records directly. I'm trying to insert line breaks, which SQL 2000 allowed you to do by simply pressing the Enter key. However, 2005 just moves you to another record. How do I do this extremely simple task?
Many thanks for a speedy reply!
I can't figure out how to get my line chart to break when there isn't a value. For example, I have a trend line over 4 time periods. The 3rd time period is missing a value. Instead of the line ending at the 2nd period and picking up again at the 4th time period, it's connecting the line 2nd to the 4th period. I'd like it to break and for there to be no line appearing in the 3rd period. I bet that's as clear as mud, but let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

Is it possible to change any line breaks or newlines for a string ...
In a select statement in a store procedure, in this way I can reproduce text in a label on a webpage complete with line breaks ....
I am storing formatted data (including spaces and line breaks) in a single field in a table.
When I run a report on that field, the preview of the report is automatically removing all the extra spaces and line breaks, making the report unreadable.
When exporting the report to PDF or printing it, it shows the line breaks and spaces as expected.
Does anyone know how to make the report preview show the spaces and line breaks?
Hi All,
I have a simple SSIS package that runs a query on the db and outputs a fixed width flat file. I have all my column widths defined and in the connection manager i can preview the output. Everything looks great. All the fields fall where they should and each record is on it's own line.
When i run the SSIS program and then go open my text file with a text editor the ouput is all on the same line. I have tried changing my file format from fixed width to ragging right and adding a row delimiter but that doesn't work either. I feel like i'm missing something small here. It could even be an issue w/ my text editor (although i've tried to open the text file in multiple editors). In the flat file connection manager I have my file defined to be 187 characters long, So figure every 187 characters it should output a new line (it should add the carraige return right?).
Has anyone encountered an issue like this?
Any help would be much appreciated.
I have several nested sub-total groups that are all coded to "page break at end". I don't know how to tell RS to suppress the page break if one sub-total immediately follows another. The initial HTML output seems to be smart enough to do this suppression on its own, but when I export to PDF, all the page breaks appear. This causes several pages at the end of the report with one line per page. Perhaps, if I could explicitly suppress these page breaks, the PDF would render properly. How can I do this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
for some AP issue, the file I upload must be without the line feed/carriage return in the last line.
for example:
original fixed-length file (exported from SSIS)
line NO DATA
1 AA123456 50 60
2 BB123456 30 40
3 CC123456 80 90
4 <-- with line feed/carriage return in the last line
The file format that AP request. The file only has 3 records, so it should end in the third line.
line NO DATA
1 AA123456 50 60
2 BB123456 30 40
3 CC123456 80 90
Should I use script component to do it ? I am new for VB . Anyone would help me ?
Thank you all.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have a line graph which plots the actual data points (x,y), everything is working fine with this graph. Now we need to add a trend line to this existing graph after going thro. the articles we came to know that there is no direct option in SSRS to draw a trend line. So we need to calculate the trend values ourselves which we need to plot as atrend line. This trend line is similar to the trend line which comes in Excel chart, do anyone know how to calculate the trend values from the actual data points. We got through several formulas, but were not clear, have anyone tried out exactly the same, if so please help us out by providing an example to calculate the trend values.

Hi,
When creating a line chart, I would like to be able to show Markers for the data points, but no line between these points (as you can do in excel).
I have set the line setting to none (for the lines of interest), however the lines still show.
Is this a bug, or am i missing something obvious settings-wise?
Cheers,

Hi
Anyone have any idea how to make a line style dashed or dotted in a line chart please?
If I change the series style to dashed or dotted it still appears as a solid line, yet the legend displays a dashed or dotted line....
Thanks
My question is about coding style for specifying constraints when creating tables.
Two styles for defining constraints:
In-line:
CREATE TABLE Fruit
(
FruitID INT IDENTITY(1,1)
CONSTRAINT PK_fruit PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED,
FruitName NVARCHAR(50),
FruitTypeID INT
CONSTRAINT FK_fruit_fruit_types FOREIGN KEY
REFERENCES FruitTypes (FruitTypeID) ON UPDATE CASCADE,
DateCreated DATETIME DEFAULT GETDATE()
)
Out-of-line:
CREATE TABLE Fruit
(
FruitID INT,
FruitName NVARCHAR(50),
FruitTypeID INT,
DateCreated DATETIME
)
ALTER TABLE Fruit ALTER COLUMN FruitID INT NOT NULL
ALTER TABLE Fruit ADD
CONSTRAINT PK_fruit PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (FruitID),
CONSTRAINT FK_fruit_fruit_types FOREIGN KEY (FruitTypeID)
REFERENCES FruitTypes (FruitTypeID),
CONSTRAINT DF_fruit_date_created DEFAULT
GETDATE() FOR DateCreated
Which style do you prefer and why?
Is there any way to force a matrix or table to display on only one page regardless of how much data there is?
I've tried checking fit this matrix on one page if possible, but apparently it isn't possible for some reason.
Hi,
I want to get this straight, and so far it's not really working the way I want. So, here it is.
I got a table with multiple groups (3 grouping, Manager, Sale Type and Product Type). I want the Manager name being shown on every new page (which I enabled using the "Repeat on new page" property). This works fine so far. Then, I want that every time I have a new "Sale Type", it's on a new page.
This is where it gets hard. I can't get it to work the way I want.
If I set the group 2 with a "Page Break At Start", the first page of my report is blank (which is kind of logical looking at the property name). Same thing goes with "Page Break At End", but the last page is blank.
Is there any way to just have a table grouped without any blank page? Can I dynamicaly disable page breaks if it is the last page / first page of the report?
Here's what I want:
Manager: Some guy
Sale Type - Normal
Product - Mitsubishi Lancer
[some report detail goes here ...]
Page 1/2
** PAGE BREAK **
Manager: Some guy
Sale Type - Rent
Product - Honda Civic
[some report detail goes here ...]
Page 2/2
I have a report with multiple data regions. Each region has its own dataset potentially. I want each region to appear on its own page. Sometime I get a page break where I want it and in other instances within the same report, the breaks are ignored and 2 regions will appear on the same page. I tried imbedding the data regions in rectangles and setting the page break on the rectangle but this doesn't seem to help. There doesn't seem to be any predictable pattern. Any ideas?

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
We have an internal mail system, but when the user writes something into the textbox (textarea), he often uses enter to get the message over several lines, our problem is that when the message is saved to the database and retrieved, all the breaks are gone and its all on a single line. In the database its stored inside a field called "message nvarchar(MAX)". How can i preserve the linebreaks?
example, user writes:
Hello,Nice day,to go fishing.
output, after it has been saved and retrieved:
Hello, Nice day, to go fishing.

Hello all,
When I changed the SQL sa account password (it was blank) and then tried to connect to SMS remotely via SMS Administrator Console, I get Connection Failed. It seemed to work for a about 20 minutes and then I get "Connection Failed" when I try to run the console remotely. I used the SQL Enterprise Manager to change the sa password and then I used the SMS Administrator Console to set its SQL Server account to sa with the new password under Site Properties. When I switched it to a blank password in SQL and SMS, it started working again.
From the Application Event Log I seem to be getting a lot of these messages (even now - and it's working):
"The description for Event ID ( 1001 ) in Source ( SQLCTR70 ) could not be found. It contains the following insertion string(s): SQL Server not running."
I have also gotten: "The Open Procedure for service "NM" in DLL "nmperf.dll" failed. Performance data for this service will not be available. Status code returned is DWORD 0. "
I don't see any messages from SMS in Event Viewer.
What am I doing wrong?
TIA for you assistance.
I'm trying to figure out how to this do with TSQL and preferablythrough joins rather than by using cursors or temp tables.

I'm having a bit of an issue with a report that I've been working on for the last several days. The report is set up to use a table to print out information grouped by customer, with each customer's information showing up on a new page. This is all fine and well, but it seems that the table is generating page breaks after each row; in other words, since the table has twelve rows (10 group header rows, one details row, and one group footer row), twelve pages get printed, with the data from each row showing up at the top of the page, and nothing else.
The odd thing seems to be this: when I turn off page breaks (initally set to occur at the end of each group), it continues to
insert these breaks, as long as the details row forces the group footer onto another page. This doesn't happen every time the report is generated. Short of getting into the XML that makes up the report definition, I've tried every trick I can think of to get this to stop.
Any suggestions?
Edit: I should also mention that the report previews just fine, but only spits out the 12+ pages when printed or exported.
We have run into a really bizzare problem after upgrading to SQL Server 2005 SP2. We have a bunch of matrix reports that have interactive sort in the upper left hand corner, the sort based on Numeric and Text fields. For Example
=Fields!City.Value
=Sum(Fields!Pax.Value)
Now for whatever reason after upgrading to SP2 and making NO CHANGES to the reports or under data sources, interactive sorts that use the =Sum(....) no longer work but interactive sorts on text values still work.
Any ideas???
I have a sales report which is grouped by customer with a total for each customer and then a new page afterwards for the next customer - this works great however I am trying to put a grand total on (all customers) - this is appearing on a seperate page!!! - on crystal I used to put this field in the summary section, so it would appear on the bottom of the last page, has anyone got any ideas??????
