In SSIS can one create €śuser defined functions€? €śsubroutines€? and put them in the SSIS designer for other developers to use?

I am not sure if this should go here it is a bit of a mixed bag, sorry if it's in the wrong spot.
I am interested to know what ideas people might have in relation to the best way to structure/setup up an app that can connect to either an SQL Server Express DB or a Compact 3.5 DB. I have a small app that can be networked but a lot of people wont want a networkable version so I dont want them downloading an app that is 4mb but requires a 35mb SQL Express install just to get it to attach to what amounts to a local DB.
Both the System.Data.SQLClient and System.Data.sqlce namespaces include classes that share at least some (I haven't checked them all) classes that inherit from the same base class i.e. SQLConnection and SQLCeConnection both inherit DBConnection from System.Data.Common. so I am wondering if there is a tricky way that I can reduce my overall code overhead (mainly things like if statements to check which DB connection we want) by up casting both connections and managing them as DBConnections but at this stage I cant come up with one.
An in important point with this is that I intend to write SQL statements that are compatable with both SQL Express and SQL Compact, my DV structure is sufficiently simple enough that I can put up with the odd "wordy" SQL statement in favour of trying to use stored procedures and views in Express and then not being able to use them in Compact.

I have a requirement in which i have to create a custom .net class library for Ex:-I retrieve password(s) from a thrid party component. Below is what i am doing.
(1) Created a custom class library which reads a custom .xml file from a drive Ex:- "D:MyAppMYAppCofig.xml" and sets to my properties of my custom class library and inside it i created an instance of third party component's class and passed these values. Since i need to use this .net custom class library both in web and ssis/database side i am using this custom .xml file.
(2) After validating passed data (properties set in custom .net class library) the thrid party component instance object created in my custom .net class libraty returs a password to me own custom .net class libray.
(3) This password I use in my web app for connecting to database. This code is working fine.
(4) My question is how to execute a custom .net class library code through ssis and to use the my same custom .net class library and pass the password to my SSIS component / taks so that that code block also uses the returned password to connect and do any needed tasks? In other words how to use custom .net class library from SSIS.
My Environment is as follows:-
SQL Server is : 2008 R2
VS.NET 2013
I'm writing a search for our site and I'm running into a few problems.When I run the query like this, it runs just fine:Declare @Keywords varchar(2000)Select @Keywords = 'modern trial advocacy canada'Select product_id, name, count(name) hitsFROM estore_productsINNER JOIN sequenceON estore_products.name like '%' +Substring(' ' + @keywords + ' ',seq,CharIndex(' ' , ' ' + @keywords + ' ' , seq) - seq)+ '%'WHEREseq <= len(' ' + @keywords + ' ') andSubstring(' ' + @keywords + ' ', seq - 1, 1) = ' ' andCharIndex(' ' , ' ' + @keywords + ' ' , seq) - seq 0Group by estore_products.product_id, nameORDER BY Hits DESCBut when I add another column (for example a column called description)from the select statement I get this error:The text, ntext, and image data types cannot be compared or sorted,except when using IS NULL or LIKE operator.Long story short, what do I need to do to select more columns for thefinal output?Thanks,Ryan

Dear All,
Can you suggest a good book or set of websites which have advanced SQL tutorials for SQL server? Got the basics but looking to build on my knowledge.
...cause knowledge is power...
I inherited a computer from a co-worker who left. On it she installed SQL Server 2005. The help system is chock full of references to the various and sundry tutorials that come with the product, but I can't find so much as a syllable about how one actually accesses those tutorials.
When I select Start, Programs, Microsoft SQL Server 2005, Documentation and Tutorials, Tutorials, SQL Server Tutorials, it simply launches one of the help screens. That screen, and the ones it contains links to, describe the tutorials topics in great detail, but nowhere is there any explanation of how you actually launch the tutorials.
What am missing here?

Could someone point me to some good SQL 2005 Reporting Tutorials? Types of Reporting? Reporting without using .NET?

I feel stupid for asking this but I can't seem to find where to install the SSIS tutorials referenced in msdn.. specifically the "Deploying Packages Tutorial". In the SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition DVD that I have, I've chosen to install all of the samples etc. I have the AdventureWorks and AdventureWorksDW and a whole bunch of samples in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90SamplesIntegration ServicesPackage Samples" but under the directory "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90SamplesIntegration ServicesTutorial" I only have sample data for "Creating a Simple ETL Package".
I know... feels like a dumb question but I have run the install wizard on both the dev edition dvd and the msdn library dvd several times and looked at all the options and can't find anything about tutorials under the SQL server installation or the workstation component installation. Please help. Thanks.
Hi,
I'm new to SQL Server Technology and am trying to learn how to create a Mobile Device application and to sync it with a desktop application that uses Access. I have found a lot of information but some of it doesn't seem to make sense.
I found this blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlservereverywhere/archive/2006/08/29/729730.aspx which is the announcement of Access Database Synchronizer (ADS) CTP. I downloaded it and installed it with all the prerequisites. This is the part i can't understand:
"The CTP setup installs the desktop component required for synchronizing Microsoft Access database with SQL Server Everywhere Edition database on the device."
I cannot seem to find the desktop component to try out! The Readme shows you how to pull and push data but i can't see where the desktop data sync wizard is located. Should there be something installed on my desktop that i can see?
Also, there doesn't seem to be much help or examples around on this component as yet. Can anyone point me in the right direction for examples, help, or tutorials on this.
This paragraph also confuses me:
"Note: As of today only SQL Server Mobile Edition is available for devices. SQL Server Everywhere Edition whould be available for devices at time of SQL Server Everywhere Edition RTW whihc is planned for November 2006".
Does this mean SQL Everywhere won't work on mobile devices until November?
Sorry for all the questions but i'm still trying to learn this stuff so i can write my application for Windows CE. Thanks in advance.
Where can I find tutorials on Service Broker with C#?

I am trying to learn MS Sql Server and MS VB, ASP, .Net, etc., have installed SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 on an XP Pro machine. I find fairly good MSDN help with VB & ASP stuff, but not with SQL Server.

Does anyone know where we can get more in-dept tutorials for the Data Mining Add-Ins for Excel? Currently, all we have are the videos from the microsoft web site as well as some white papers.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using VB with Visual Studio Express. I am new to these tools. I have SQL Server 2005 Express installed on my machine. I think that I have the right version. I am just using Express for taking classes and teaching myself on my machine.
When I follow the examples in the book, I keep getting this error when I go to my ASP.NET configuration and click on the security tab to add myself as a user.
"There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store. The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: The database filename can not contain the following 3 characters: [ (open square brace), ] (close square brace) and ' (single quote) " -- end of erro msg.
I have an apostrophe in my last name. Could that be what is causing it? Is it creating a db based on my name or something? Or do I have the wrong version of SQL Server Express installed.
Thank you for any help. I appreciate it.

I can not seem to locate this file any where on my computer let alone in the specified directory. With out this file, it would be very difficult if not impossible to go through rest of the SSIS tutorials. Could I ftp this file from some locations so I could get started on the tutorials.
I would very much appreciate any help.
Thanks
Hi!
When I use dbrpcparam to add empty string as a parameter to a stored
prosedure, as a result I have NULL, but I need to get an empty string.
It seems to me the DB library for C does not allow to pass an empty
string as a parameter of a stored procedure. It gets converted to NULL. ??
Do you know how I can avoid the problem?
Thank you.
Anny.
I am porting the proC programs from Oracle to C on windows. Does anybody know that If I am using DB library for C, does it support the dynamic binding of the table and conditions like Oracle`s embedded sql ( 4th method?)
ex: select unknown columns from unknown tables
where unknown colum= unknown value
Thanks.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThis is not an actual question but more of a topic that I cannot find any information on and that may be because there is nothing about it.Basicly is there any SQL Database Table Libraries out there?......For instance I am creating a tedious database table right now which includes the names of all the countires (around 200 ) its simply used for a registration process where a users country information gets saved in the database...Since the worlds country names do not get changed very much is there a sql database table out there thats pre-made so I dont have to sit here and enter in all 200 or so countries by hand?....this is what I mean by database table libraries, it can basicly include all common things a website may use like a province/state dropdown list (pre-made database table), the worlds countries (again pre-made database table) and so on....If someone can come to my rescue and help me find some information on this it would be great cause well It's probably going to take a bit to enter in every country name, then the same for all the provinces/states, then bind them somewhat so when a user clicks on canada the provinces/states for canada are only avalible in the next list.Thank You All.Adam

Does anyone know if this SQL is part of MS Office or is it XP... I haven't figured that out. It says reinstall the program but doesn't say what program. I know I never intentionally installed an SQL program.
At this time I get the same message as everyone seems to be getting - SQL Dumper Library failed... reinstall ....
The problem for me started when I added Office 2007 and added the business contacts program.
Any ideas are appreciated!
when i start up my computer it displays the message sqldumper library failed initialization. your installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with. uninstall then rerun setup. what do i do?
