I am trying to modify data in a tble using the Stored Procedure below. It doesnt work properly. I seem to only be getting one character. I think it has something to do with me using "nchar" with the variables. The value I am changing is actually a string.
Alter Procedure usp_UpdateJobName
@JobNameOld nchar, @JobNameNew nchar
As
UPDATE
JobName
SET
JobName=@JobNameNew
FROM
tblRMADATA
WHERE
tblRMADATA.JobName=@JobNameOld
I'm in the process of converting a rather huge VSAM database into a set of SQL tables.
I am using the same data names from the mainframe (like XDB-NAME to RDB-NAME).
I load the files using Import Export Data and it makes the tables with such column names as col001, col002, col003, etc... and always sets the data types to varchr(255).
And I have to cut and paste the data names from the manframe side to the server side (and the data types to.)
So, is there an easier way to do this? Or am I doomed to cut-n-paste my days away...
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
I was asking how can I make updating and deleting for data through database views in Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Best Regards,
I have a project where I need the ability to update data in a SQL table (SQL 2008) from a tool like Access or Excel. My SQL table has 3 records: Employee number, Employee Name, and a yes / no value (1 or 0). I want to be able to display the table data (in Access or Excel), and be able to have the user modify the yes / no value, but not the Employee number or Employee name. How to handle this in SQL. Should I connect Access directly to the SQL table?Â

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all,
Having some fun with an excel import.
I have a excel sheet that has data that needs to be UpSert'ed into 2
different tables. In addition, I need to use a value in the spreadsheet
to determine the PK from a reference data table, for one of the UpSert
oprations.
That is all working now.
The thing I'm struggling with is something I am sure is quite simple -
but I'm not seeing a solution from attempts, googling or BOL.
2 of the columns I receive have either nothing, or X in them. The columns they go into are defined as BIT, NOT NULL.
So, in SQL it would be something relatively simple like:
CASE
When IsAvailable = 'X' then 1
When IsAvailable is null then 1
ELSE 0
end
But I don't know how to do this to data that was in a spreadsheet, and
now is a resultset being handed from a task to another task.
to outline my current solution:
---- table 1 = this all works -------------
Excel Source --> MultiCast (For Table 1)-->Data conversion for
table1-->:Sort for Table1--> Merge Join for table 1 (left Outer
join) as 'left' leg
Table1 Source --> Sort Table1 --> Merge Join for table 1 (left Outer join) as 'right' leg
Merge Join for table 1 --> Conditional Lplit for table1
Conditional Split for table1 (table1 source PK is null) -->Insert Into Table1 Destination
Conditional Split for table1 (table1 source PK is not null) -->Update Table1 OLE DB Command
---- table 2 = this needs to be able to convert X/NULL to BIT -------------
MultiCast (For Table 2)-->Copy Column for Table2 -->Data
Conversion for Table 2-->table3 lookup to get FK-->Sort for
Table2 merge-->Merge Join for table 2 (left outer join) as 'left' leg
Table2 Source --> Sort Table2 --> Merge Join for table 2 (left outer join) as 'right' leg
Merge Join for table 2 --> Conditional split for table 2
Conditional split for table 2(table2 source PK in null) -->insert into table 2
Conditional split for table 2(table2 source PK in not null) -->update table 2 ole db command
-----------------------------------------
Now, if I correct the spreadsheet to have 0's and 1's in the two
column, then the process above works. But I cannot (yet) force business
to do that.
If tried to use SQL Command for the excel source, but there is limited
functionality on the command - I cannot do SQL coalese, isnull or case
statements, which would allow me to resolve that data at source.
I've tried to use derived columns to alter the columns. I think that
the REPLACE (IsAvailable, VariableContainingX,VariableContaining1)
might work to change X's to 1, but that doesn't resolve the NULL issue.
I've tried to use a script component to handle the conversion - which
REALLY feels like a bad way to do this - the .Net script is wrote was:
-------------.net script code-------------
Imports System

Imports System.Math

End If

(Row.IsStoreCollectionEnabled_IsNull) Or
(Row.IsStoreCollectionEnabled.Contains("X")) Then
Row.IsStoreCollectionEnabled = "1"
End If
Row.NextRow()
End If
End Sub
End Class
------------------------------------------
I also tried it like this:

End If
If
(Row.IsStoreCollectionEnabled_IsNull) Or
(Row.IsStoreCollectionEnabled.Contains("X")) Then
Row.IsStoreCollectionEnabled = "1"
End If
End Sub
End Class
-------------------------------------------------
Those both threw the following error;

We have enabled Change Data Capture for auditing our table changes in SQL Server 2008. There is a request to NULL out a few columns (for all rows) in a couple CDC tables, due to compliance with a certification. Is there a compelling reason not to modify these tables and to leave the audit trail as-is?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn my SSIS package, I have a data flow task
I am loading a CSV file into a SQL table (OLE DB destination)
I have a couple of CSV files to be loaded
Instead of creating a separate task for each file , can I combine them together into a single task
I was thinking about using a ForEach container
This approach works if the number of columns in all the CSV files is same
But in my case it is not
So what I want is a script task that dynamically modifies the mappings
Can I do this?
I was browsing the net and I found certain code which uses IDTSExternalMetadataColumn90, MapOutputColumn etc.
But the code was creating a new package for each mapping
I couldn't understand the code
So can you please help me with this?
My script task should modify the mappings in my data flow task
For e.g.
If I have 3 columns in my CSV and 3 columns in DB, they should be mapped in the same order
P.S. I do not want to use configurations
Please help figure out what is wrong with my code. The script is supposed to load a package (from file). The loaded package already has everything set up to run a query against a local server and output the results to an Excel file. The reason for the outer script is because I need to change the query based on a global variable. When the query changes, though, I think the existing dataflow Path is no longer valid, so I should remove it and re-create another one with the new input mappings. Here is my code, which runs and throws an exception at the AcquireConnections call.
The error is
Error: 0x2 at Script Task: The script threw an exception: Exception from HRESULT: 0xC020801B
I pieced together this code from the examples in the online books, but I am not sure what to do.

Hi all,
I have several reports using single shared datasource. I want to change at a runtime database that is used by that datasource. Can this be achieved? If not what are the other solutions €“ I guess that using not shared datasource for each report may be the solution (is it?) but it is not the best solution for me. My goal is to allow users to run the same set of reports, viewed in ReportViewer control, but using different databases (connection string dependant).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
Hi there,
Completely new to the world of databases. I'm a designer who works primarily in Flash. In any case, I'm trying to manage an application that uses MS SQL and learn about the wonderful world of databases.
Ok, I modified a table (e.g. I added a column called "Rate") that had associated views (created by another developer). Noticed that my application went a little wonky as some of my variables within my app took on the value of the data in the "Rate" column. I checked one of the views and noticed that a column within the view (e.g. TutorID) was assuming the values in the "Rate" column. Note: The column TutorID had been blank before the change to the table. I'm completely lost as to why this is happening. Do I need to rebuild the view? Can I just reset the original view?
Thanks.
Oh yeah, I'm using SQL4X Manager J from Mac Guru (if that helps).
If data is modified (by an insert, update, or delete) while the backup is running, will the backup contain those changes or will it be added to the database afterwards?

I probably know that I don't want to do this, but I have an odd case.
I have a database with a bunch of stored procedures and functions. 128 of them reference a different database than the one they're in. For testing puposes, I need to temporarily re-point these functions and procedures to a different database.
I suspect the answer will be a resounding 'No', but I was wondering if it was possible to somehow run a query against syscomments where I could update all of those objects with the temporary database name rather than edit each and every one of them. Conceptually, it would just be an UPDATE using REPLACE. Pretty comfortable with that, but I'm always very reluctant to mess with stuff like that.
I'll probably still just do it through QA, but I was wondering if it's possible to do something like that and thought it might be an interesting topic for discussion.

Hello ,
I want to drop a table from a publication , so that i can copy some data from another server . After the copy , i want to add the article or the table back again to the publication without making any changes to the subscribers configuration .
Is it really possible on SQL 7.0 ? Right now it does not allow me to copy the data to the published table or even drop the article (table) and it says that the article is published for replication and cannot be dropped or modified .
The table is configured for transactional replication .
I will have to drop the entire publication and create all the subcribers again .
Any help in this regard please .
