I wish to extract the data from an SQL database table to a txt file. There are certain integer fields that I want to output as 7 chars long with leading zeroes. So for example if the column January_total contains the value 123 I would want that ouptut as 0000123. Can anyone advise me as to what the best way to go about doing this is - I've looked at how CAST and CONVERT work but they dont seem to to offer the functionality I require.

I have an SQL database with a number of fields, one of which is for storing the date (datetime).When I insert data into the table, I only supply the date because I don't want or need the time to be listed. However, when I execute a query, the data that shows up in my gridview is (e.g) 13/10/2007 12:00:00 AM. What I want ti know is, how can I format the datetime when I run the query so that it only shows 13/10/2007?This is how I'm retrieving the data at the moment: SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM tblMail", sqlConn);conn.Open()SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader();dataGrid.DataSource = reader;dataGrid.DataBind();conn.close() In my dataGrid, I have a number of fields that are bound to the data source, such as Date, Name, Address etc etcAnyway, any ideas on how I can format the SQL DateTime so it only shows the date in my datagrid?
Hi I am trying to export data from SQL which is ok and I can do that part. However from the result of the query I need to add the values of certain columns. Because I'm a newbie to SQL I'll explain and try and show images as best as I can as we go.... So far I have written a query select Stockitem.code, Warehouseitem.ConfirmedQtyInStock, Warehouseitem.UnConfirmedQtyInStock, Warehouseitem.QuantityAllocatedStock, Warehouseitem.QuantityAllocatedBOM, Warehouseitem.QuantityAllocatedSOP, WarehouseItem.WarehouseIDfrom WarehouseItem INNER JOIN StockItem ONWarehouseItem.ItemID = Stockitem.itemidINNER JOIN BinItem ONBinitem.itemid = stockitem.itemidwhere WarehouseItem.WarehouseID = '3403' AND BinItem.BinName LIKE 'S%' AND BinItem.BinName <> 'S' OR BinItem.BinName LIKE 'T%' AND BinItem.BinName <> 'T'order by stockitem.code This returns the following results.... Code ConfirmedQtyInStock UnConfirmedQtyInStock QuantityAllocatedStock QuantityAllocatedBOM QuantityAllocatedSOP WarehouseID 12345 96.00000 .00000 .00000 3.00000 13.00000 3403 Now I am trying to find out the amount of freestock available for everything with the WarehouseID 3403. Therefore in the example above to be able to workout how many '12345' (Code) we have in stock, the equation used to find out the free stock available is as follows.... Free Stock = (ConfirmedQtyInStock + UnConfirmedQtyInStock) – (QuantityAllocatedStock+ QuantityAllocatedBOM + QuantityAllocatedSOP) Therefore if I manually use the equation above the amount of freestock available = Free Stock = (96+0) - (0+3+13) = 80 (free stock). Then once I have the equation to be able to output the 'freestock' quantity, I need to export the results into an excel spreadsheet with the following layout... ColumnA Code,FreeStock 12345,80 Hope I've explained this in a good manner, any help would be gratefully received. Simba

What's the best way to export data from SQL Server to XML format. I've taken over a VB application written to carry out this task but it seems more complicated than it needs to be. Is it possible to just miss out VB and use say a DTS program instead??
I have been given a schema(XSD) file and as far as I'm aware any xml has to be formatted according to this schema.
i realized that there is much talk where data will be stored, what are the ways to organize data, but did not see anywhere what format this data. If they are text files they are .txt? All of them? Why Linux in a text file does not necessarily need to have this extension.For example, this forum, every time a thread is created it creates a text file with the contents of the thread inside a folder that represents the board? Is that how it works?

I have a PC install the SQL Server 2005 Eng Version and have a database with table.In the table , there is a datetime format column. So, I write a SQL Insert into Table1 (startdate) values ('4-Oct-2006 10:24:29 AM'), It works, record inserted. I have another Server (Windows Server 2003 Chinese Version with SQL Server 2005 Chinese Version). Also,have a database with table and run the same sql statment Insert into Table1 (startdate) values ('4-Oct-2006 10:24:29 AM'). It does not work, since the error message is in chinese, so I try to translate in english. The error says something like, "when converting the string to datetime, it fails" And then I try to rewrite the SQL into Insert into Table1 (startdate) values ('10/4/2006 10:24:29 AM'). It works. So I want to ask and option I can set in SQL Server 2005 to make me use different kinds of date format in the SQL. Please Help, thanks stepby
Hello all, I am trying to modify the output of a SELECT statement in a VB asp.net page that pulls data from a SQL DB. I only need to modify one column in the gridview, but I'm having some issues. Here is the situation:SELECT TOP 24 ID, RecID, Timestamp, Answered, Holds, Dropped, Waits, Voicemail, Busied, LiveWaitsFROM mTrafficORDER BY Timestamp DESC The Timestamp column returns a number value (i.e. 564566).In terms of a date, 564566 doesn't mean anything to the user, so I need to convert this number into a recognizable and accurate date. The formula I need to implement is Timestamp/1440 - 1 The following SELECT statement returns the number as a date, but makes all records the same date: SELECT TOP 24 ID, RecID, Convert(datetime, Timestamp/1440 + 1) as Timestamp, Answered, Holds, Dropped, Waits, Voicemail, Busied, LiveWaitsFROM mTrafficORDER BY Timestamp DESC What do I need to do to implement this function dynamically into my gridview? Thanks in advance!
Why does SQL add 4 zeros at the end of a money data type? I have to format my strings once they are retrieved because of this. I am not sure if I did something wrong, but shouldn't it only have 2 trailing zero's?
i really need some help from all of you. I currently have some DTS package which will transfer data from text file to the SQL 7.0 This transformation is schedule using the Sql Agent.
The problem is the transfering data which have the Date datatype. the Date format is in the dd/mm/yyyy. But the default language i set in my sql server is english which suppose will use the date format mm/dd/yyyy.
therefore, the Sql server will treat my data which in dd/mm/yyyy as mm/dd/yyyy. so, the data like '08/09/2000' (in dd/mm/yyyy) become '08/09/2000' (in mm/dd/yyyy)
i already set my user'language who will login in the sql agent as 'british english'. I also the OLE connection in the DTS package that i built using 'british english'.
when i run the agent in the Sql Enterprice Manager, it use the dd/mm/yyyy format which is correct. BUt when i log out and let it run as services which mean let the agent excute the DTS. it use back the mm/dd/yyyy fromat which cause the data become wrongs.
i hope someone can give me some advice on this. Thanks for your help
Hi I am trying to export an table data to csv format. The problem here is the table columns are dynamic. The DTS exports only the columns available during the DTS design time and it ignores if any new columns are added after the design. I need solution for this asap. Thanks SqlJerin
I need to convert a SQL table or SQL table data to XML format. I tried using the Import Export Wizard in SQL 2005 (used SQLXMLOLEDB and SQLXMLOLEDB 4.0 as the source). However, it didn't work. Any way you know how I can convert and obtain data in XML format?
Dear friends, In SQLServer, it seems to make data stored in Unicode, you need to go to each column type and change it from varchar to nvarchar.
Apart from this, is there a direct way of Setting Unicode for the whole database at once, which would set all coulns to the unicode equivalent. It seems there is such an option in Oracle
I have a table that stores the period and year as two seperate fields the problem that i have is that when the data is entered in the data base the period is sometime entered as 6 or 06, hence i have a table thaat looks like as follows:
Period Year ====== ==== 6 2006 06 2005 12 2006 3 2005 2 2005 4 2005 04 2005 03 2005
when i currently query the information using the period i use the LIKE command in SQL which gives me the results but the problem is when the like is done with 2 as the period value it also retrieves the 12, 02, and 2, in that case the period 12 was not that was requested.
I was wondering is there a way to reformat the data so that all the data is in a consistent format?
Or is there a better way of quering the information in the current format?
Hey all,I have a basic table that looks something like this.CREATE TABLE MyTable(ID INT IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,Company_ID INT NOT NULL,Round VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,Details VARCHAR(250) NOT NULL)It has a few rows of data that look like this:Identity Company_ID Round Details--------------------------------------------1 5 A Blah, blah.2 5 B Generic data, blah blah.3 5 WERT More generic blah blah.Now what i'm trying to do during my select statement is select all the rowsthat belong to company_id 5 but if any of the rows round value contains thetext "WERT" convert that text into just a "--" for presentation purposes,but still select that row. I can't seem to figure out how i would transformthe text in the select statement? My immediate thought was substring /replace but i would need to combine it with an if else statement which i'veno idea how to make work in a select (sub-query maybe?) statement. Is thispossible? Perhaps i'm stuck iterating through the returned data within theclient application before presenting?Any help, as always, would be greatly appreciated.Muhd
