I have a column called study in a table which has the number of studies such as 10000 or 9934. I wish to display the result 10,000 or 9,934. I wish to put a comma in the numbers. How can I achieve this using a select statement.

View 3 Replies View RelatedOur application running on SQL server 2008 since its storing confidential data we would like to mask the sensitive data in non prod environments.Currently I would like to mask data for one table and their 4 columns data. Basically I would like to know how to do this and how it’s being consumed by downstream systems?Are downstream needs to undo the mask data on their end?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI find that dynamic masking does not work on joining tables in SQL Server 2016 CTP2.1.
For examples, I create the following table:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[HRM_StaffAppointment](
[StaffID] [nvarchar](11) NOT NULL,
[ApptSeqNo] [smallint] NOT NULL,
[ReportingDept] [nvarchar](10) NULL,
[Code] ...
Then I apply mask on StaffID and RankDesc.
alter [dbo].[HRM_StaffAppointment] alter column [StaffID] add masked with (function='default()')
alter [dbo].[HRM_StaffAppointment] alter column [RankDesc]
add masked with (function='default()')
When User A logged in and query on HRM_StaffAppointment, StaffID and RankDesc are perfectly masked. But User A can remove the masking using another table:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[staffID](
[staffID] [nvarchar](255)Â
) ON [PRIMARY]
select a.*
from dbo.HRM_StaffAppointment as a
left join dbo.staffID as b
on a.StaffID = b.StaffID
It looks like a security hole to me, or I'm doing anything wrong?
when prod db is restored in test server, i have to hide/replace sensitive fields (name, phone etc)Is it doable in SQL 2008 and SQL 2012?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to implement data masking based on user login and not sure why this is not working. I have the dimensions DimBrand, DimProduct and DimUser. I should mask the BrandCode with 'XXXX' nothing but in the report all the BrandCode should appear but few of the code will be masked if the user is not belongs to that group. I have a fact table FactProduct in this. In the cube I created all these 3 dimensions and the fact table. I created a new dimension DimBrandMask and I separated the code over there with a relationship with the actual DimBrand dimension. In the cube a reference relationship is set up with the measure group. Created a role with read access.
In the dimension data tab of role I put the below MDX to allowed set.
NonEmpty([DimBrandMask].[Brand Code].Members, (StrToMember("[DimUser].[Login Name].[Login Name].[" + UserName() + "]") ,[Measures].[Dim User Count]))
And in Denied Member set i put the below MDX
IIF( (StrToMember("[DimUser].[Login Name].[Login Name].[" + UserName() + "]"), [DimUser].[Access Right].&[False]), NONEMPTY( [DimBrandMask].[Brand Code].Members,(StrToMember("[DimUser].[Login Name].[Login Name].["
+ UserName() + "]"), [DimUser].[Access Right].&[False], [Measures].[Dim User Count])),{})
Note I created one measure group from the DimUser table and the measure [Dim User Count] is used in the above query.
I am expecting some result like below
Brand     BrandCode          Count
Brand1Â Â Â Â Â b1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 6
Brand2 Â Â Â XXXXX Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 5

Hello,
how can I mask an char such as: ' or " in an sql-statement.
Thanks a lot, Chris
We are in the process of doing a database redesign. Our system architect is planning to a bit masked integer field vs. lookup tables. I personally have never used bit masking at the db level. I was wondering if this is a good design choice.
I should also note that our application will be db agnostic so it will need to work on SQL, Oracle, MySQL, etc.

is there any option by which i can mask my parameter for password.
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 4 Replies View RelatedI have a dataset which contains sensitive person information that can be sliced by various demographic groups.
When I use PowerPivot to query it if I use more than say 5 groups the resulting value within a cell may fall below an acceptable value of say 10 and render the group of people identifiable.
What I would like is some way to generate the lowest group such that any combination < 10 returns 10 and any hierarchy/group above the detail uses this new value for its summary.
Here is an example of how it would look now (I have used only 3 groups Gender followed by Age group and Age to keep it simple):
Gender  Age group  Age Count
 Male            32Â
     20-25        30
           21    9
           24   10
           25   11
     26-30        2
           30    2
This is how I would like it to look:
Gender  Age group  Age Count
 Male            <41Â
     20-25        <31
           21   <10
           24   10
           25   11
     26-30        <10
           30   <10
I have actually tried to do it myself but the DAX expression is beyond me. I use ISFILTERED(<column name>) or HASONEVALUE to get the lowest level group (Age) to work but of course I can't get the levels above it in the hierarchy to calculate based upon the interim result...Â
IF(HASONEVALUE(Measure[Age]),if([Count]>5,[Count],if(ISBLANK([Count]),0,5)),BLANK())

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there an elegant way to fill the empty space leading a textbox in a table with periods, similar to a table of contents effect?
When I do not allow the textbox to grow and just append a long string of periods it looks fine in my report preview, but after I deploy everything appended after the primary field in that text box is missing?
My report has a lot of data to the right but it is collapsible so the fields to the left are a good distance away. This is why I am trying to include light visual aids that assist lining up data values. I am not stuck on the leading period idea but it seems the least cluttered.

I have a business requirement to build a tabular data model, where I need to mask information of other Agents from a given Agent but I still need to show the overall sales of the given product.Â
For eg: IF an Agent is in APAC region he should see APAC region sales and also should be able see the sales of the same product in other region without knowing region specific break down.
For Agent  "Tom" in APAC region, the numbers will look like this
APAC_Sales = 100,000
Other_Sales = 500,000
And if "John" is in NA region, then the number will look like this for him
NA_Sales    = 200,000
Other_Sales = 400,000
I wanted to create "Roles" based on the Region, so all the agents belong to "APAC" region will have same view as Tom and "NA" region agents will have John's view.
Hi, all here,
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I am wondering if it is possible to use SSIS to sample data set to training set and test set directly to my data mining models without saving them somewhere as occupying too much space? Really need guidance for that.
Thank you very much in advance for any help.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
After testing out the application i write on the local pc. I deploy it to the webserver to test it out. I get this error.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The conversion of a char data type to a
datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
Notes: all pages that have this error either has a repeater or datagrid which load data when page loading.
At first I thought the problem is with the date, but then I can see
that some other pages that has datagrid ( that has a date field) work
just fine.
anyone having this problem before?? hopefully you guys can help.
Thanks,
I have used both data readers and data adapters(with datasets) in the projects that I have worked on. I am trying to get some clarification on when I should be using which one. I think I am doing this correctly but I want to be sure I am developing good habits.
As the name might suggest, it seems like a datareader is for only reading data. I have read that the data adapter and dataset are for a disconnected architecture. Or, that they can be used for this type of set up. I have been using the data adapter and datasets when writing to a database and the datareader when reading from a database.
Is this how these should be used? Is the data reader the best choice for reading data? Am I doing this the optimal way from a performance stand point?

I setup this package to import data from a Sharepoint list to a SQL Server data table.

So when importing data into my table via SSIS, my package always error-out when there it comes across duplicate values. how you others have managed data integrity when importing from a Sharepoint list with the Title column being mapped to the primary key of a table.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHello,
I am wondering what conversion rules apply, when a string, which contains a number, is saved to a SQL Server 2005 into a column of type decimal.
This is the code I€™m using (C++):
CString cValue = "0.75"
_variant_t vtFieldValue;
vtFieldValue = _variant_t(cValue)
pRecordSet->Fields->Item["MyColumn"]->Value = vtFieldValue;
"pRecordSet" is an ADO recordset. The database column "MyColumn" is of type "decimal(19,10)".
The most important question for me is, if the regional settings of the database server or the regional settings of the client PC are considered during the conversion from the string to the decimal value. For example in standard French regional settings the "." would not be recognized as decimal separator.
I am also wondering if the language of the database instance, in which this data is saved, is considered during this conversion or any other settings of this database instance.
So my general question is: Does anybody know exactly what rules apply during the above mentioned conversion?
Thank you for your help.

Volker
I've question about how to handle structural datamodel changes in a datasource of PowerPivot. Suppose I'm developing a starmodel in SQL Server and sometimes a datatype changes or a name of a field changes in a table. It seems to me that PowerPivot handle this not gracefully as Analysis MD does (mostly). I received an error because of a wrong fieldname or even no error when a dattype changes in PowerPivot. Is this common or do I something wrong here. Does this mean that every time the datamodel changes the PowerPivot should be recreated? Or am I missing the clue here?
