Hi,
We're importing data from a progress db. Some of the columns contain arrays or delimited values which represent accounting periods.
Currently I'm passing the arrays row by row to a stored procedure which parses and inserts each value as a row for the applicable accounting period, it works but is very slow.
Any Ideas?
Thanks
Emilio
Hi,
I was migrating from Oracle to SQL Server 2005 using SSMA (SQL Server Migration Assistant) but i`ve found an issue, i can´t find how to fix it. In my stored procedure in PL/SQL exists this lines:
TYPE T_ARRAY_COL IS VARRAY (1000 ) OF VARCHAR2 (50);
A_COLUMNS T_ARRAY_COL := T_ARRAY_COL();
Somebody know how can i simulate this data type ARRAY. I was reading http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/02/TSQLinYukon/ but some things are not clear for me.... please help me, give me one hand.
Thank you

Is there any array data type in SQL Server 7.0. I am using VB 6.0 with ADO 2.1. I am populating a MSFlexGrid with values that I pass to SQL Server one at a time and insert into the database. What I would like to do is pass the entire contents of the Grid at once to a stored procedure and let SQL do the processing so my routine is not going back and forth to the client. I did not find any documentation on any array data types in SQL. What is my best approach to this problem?
Thanks,
Dan Collins
I am attempting to create a stored procedure that will launch at report runtime to summarize data in a table into a table that will reflect period data using an array type field. I know how to execute one line but I am not sure how to run the script so that it not only summarizes the data below but also creates and drops the table.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a problem using 3 tables. The first recordset is my own invention (that means a very simple one). It reads product features from a table:
Set Rsx = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet")
sSQL= "SELECT * from prodfeatures"
Rsx.Open sSQL, sDSN, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly, adCmdText
'then I read the recordset into arrays like this:
While Not Rsx.eof
i=i+1
mte(i)=Rsx("id")
' every id has a corresponding featurename
mfnavn(mte(i))=Rsx("featurename")
Rsx.movenext
Wend
'this part works very well
Now comes the difficult part that the SQLTeam figured out (this combines an order base with an itemorder base):
Set Rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet")
sSQL="select oitems.catalogid,oitems.features, sum(oitems.numitems) as SumOfItems from oitems Inner Join Orders On Orders.orderid = oitems.orderid Where Orders.oshippeddate =" & dDate & " AND Orders.orderid <> 1 group by oitems.catalogid,oitems.features"
Rs.Open sSQL, sDSN, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly, adCmdText
'Then I write the content of the products with product features - the complexity of the sql is due to a use of many other operations:
While Not Rs.eof
response.write Rs("catalogid") & "features:" & Rs("features") & "Name:" & mfnavn(rs("features"))
Rs.movenext
Wend
The query runs, and starts well, writing 3 lines:
239 features:221 Name:Standard bil max 5m lang og 1,9 m høy
240 features:270 Name:Liggestol (gratis)
240 features:271 Name:C1 Enkeltseng i delt lugar u. bildekk. Kun vask
but it is then aborted with this message:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d' Type mismatch: 'Rs(...)'
I know that the problematic part is the array
mfnavn(rs("features"))
...anyone with experience in this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi - I'm using Session variables to store information (sort of webshop).
The sessions are a mix of the usual straightforward strings, wich are no problem - but I also have a DataTable which I store in a session variable, and I also have an array, which I store in a session variable eg. session("day")(x) where x is the item in the array.
I want to give my users the ability to store the items they've selected in my database, but have no idea of what type of field I should use for the datatable and array session variable. Should I use a TEXT field, or is there another more appropriate one'?
I'm using SQL Server 2000.

Is there a special field type I should be using, instead of a NVARCHAR for storing comma separated words?
I could, construct an array from the field value... but not sure if this would be the "right" way to do it?
Any one know about it?

I have to do this for MANY rows but I don't want to use a cursor. Should I be using Dynamic SQL? If so how should I go about starting out.
Thank You
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,

Now the data in this field is not uniform it can be blank, a sentence or have a different pre fix, instead of PBP, but the date will be YYYYMMDD when it is supplied.

I have just inherited a new project consisting of data imported into sql 2005 from a multi-dimensional database. After finding the correct ODBC and importing the data I believed that I was done, but after reviewing the resulting structure I discovered why this was called a €śmulti-dimensional€? database. The resulting imported data is completely de-normalized and resembles an excel spreadsheet more than a relational database. An example of this structure is the persons table. The table has multiple columns, some of which contain the multi-dimensional fields. These fields contain multiple values which are separated with a tilde, €ś~€?. I need to parse out the data and normalize it. In the specific sample of data below I attempting to take the personid, associates, and assocattrib and insert them into a sql table, associates. This table references the persons table where the personid and the associates references the personid in the persons table.
Code Snippet
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[persons](
[namepkey] [int] PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
[nameid] [varchar](6) NOT NULL,
[lastname] [varchar](41) NULL,
[firstname] [varchar](50) NULL,
[mname] [varchar](50) NULL,
[sex] [char](1) NULL,
[race] [varchar](55) NULL,
[dob] [varchar](10) NULL,
[address] [varchar](28) NULL,
[city] [varchar](32) NULL,
[state] [varchar](25) NULL,
[zip] [varchar](127) NULL,
[hphone] [varchar](10) NULL,
[busphone] [varchar](50) NULL,
[profession] [varchar](28) NULL,
[employer] [varchar](42) NULL,
[eyecolor] [varchar](23) NULL,
[build] [varchar](14) NULL,
[complexion] [varchar](26) NULL,
[haircolor] [varchar](26) NULL,
[dlnumber] [varchar](36) NULL,
[dlstate] [varchar](27) NULL,
[jacketnumber] [varchar](130) NULL,
[height] [varchar](4) NULL,
[weight] [varchar](50) NULL,
[ethnicity] [varchar](25) NULL,
)
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[associates](
[associd] [int] NOT NULL REFERENCES persons(personid),
[namepkey] [int] NOT NULL REFERENCES persons(personid),
[assocattribute] [varchar](20) NULL
)
The purpose of normalizing this data will be to show the realationship(s) between people as it has been documented in the previous data structure, i.e. person 1 is an associate of person 336 and the attribute is WIT.
My problem lies in attempting to parse out the associates and assocattrib columns and relate them to the appropriate personid. The personid relates to each associate and assocattrib and the tilde, ~, separates the values ordinal position which, in sql, would be separate rows. For example the single row:
personid associates assocattrib
58201 252427~252427~252427 VICT/SUSP~WIT~RP
Should be:
58201 252427 VICT/SUSP
58201 252427 WIT
58201 252427 RP
The imported data can have no associates:
personid associates assocattrib
152683 NULL NULL
or up to 69 associates, I am not even going to try to paste all of that here.
There are over 400,000 rows that I am looking at parsing, so any way of doing this in t-sql or the clr would be GREAT. This data is stored in SQL 2005 standard SP2. The specific machine is our test/reporting server, so I am not necessarily concerned with the best performing solution, I am leaning more towards providing some free time for me.
Any help or suggestions, including better ideas on the table structure, would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
I can populate a dataTable with type double (C#) of say '1055.01' however when I save these to the CE3.5 database using a float(CE3.5) I lose the decimal portion. The 'offending' code is:
this.court0TableAdapter1.Update(this.mycourtsDataSet1.Court0);
this.mycourtsDataSet1.AcceptChanges();
this.court0TableAdapter1.Fill(this.mycourtsDataSet1.Court0);
This did not happen with VS2005/CE3.01.
I have tried changing all references to decimal (or money in CE3.5) without luck.
I'm beginning to think that string may be the way to go!!!!!!!
Can someone shed some light on my problem.
Thanks,
Later:
It's necessary to update the datatable adapter as the 3.01 and 3.5 CE are not compatible.
We have some columns in a table where the date is stored as 19980101 (YYYYMMDD). The data type for this column is NUMBER(8) in Oracle.
I need to copy rows from Oracle to SQL Server using SSIS. I used the Data Conversion transformation editor to change it to DT_DATE, but the rows are not being inserted to the destination.
On Error, If I fail the component, then the error is :
There was an error with input column "ORDER_DATE_CONV" (1191) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (29). The column status returned was: "Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the specified type.".

If I only want the data in between abc1 and abc2, between abc2 and abc3, etc, what would be the best way to do that?
My code so far looks like:
DECLARE
@string varchar(100) = '[abc1.Pants/abc2.Orange hat /abc3.Purple shirt /abc4./abc5./abc6./abc7./abc8.]',
@searchString1 varchar(20) = 'abc1',
@searchString2 varchar(20) = 'abc2';
SELECT newstring
FROM dbo.SubstringBetween(@string,@searchString1,@searchString2);
This returns 'Pants.'How do I continue to parse between abc2 and abc3? between abc3 and abc4?And then continue to ID2?Should I be referencing the ParseData field instead of string of data that I want to parse?
I have a third party application with a ntext field that I need to parse the data out of. The data looks like this:

I'm working on a sales commission report that will show commissions for up to 5 sales reps for each invoice. The invoice detail table contains separate columns for the commission rates payable to each rep, but for some reason the sale srep IDs are combined into one column. The salesrep column may contain null, a single sales rep id, or up to five slaes rep IDs separated by the '~' character.
So I'd like to parse the rep IDs from a single column (salesreplist) in my invoice detail table (below) to multiple columns (RepID1, RepID2, RepID3, RepID4,RepID5) in a temp table so I can more easily calculate the commission amounts for each invoice and sales rep.
Here is my table:
CREATE TABLE invcdtl(
invoicenum int,
salesreplist [text] NULL,
reprate1 int NULL,
reprate2 int NULL,
reprate3 int NULL,
reprate4 int NULL,
reprate5 int NULL,
)
Here is some sample data:
1 A 0 0 0 0 0
2 0 0 0 0 0
3 I~~~~ 15 0 0 0 0
4 A~B 5 5 0 0 0
5 I~F~T~K~G 5 5 2 2 2
6 A~B
As you can see, some records have trailing delimiters but some don't. This may be a result of the application's behavior when multiple reps are entered then removed from an invoice. One thing for sure is that when there are multiple reps, the IDs are always separated by '~'
Can anyone suggest a solution?
I have a stored procedure that has a paramter that accepts a string of values. At the user interface, I use a StringBuilder to concatenate the values (2,4,34,35,etc.) I would send these value to the stored procedure. The problem is that the stored procedure doesn't allow it to be query with the parameter because the Fieldname, "Officer_UID" is an integer data type, which can't be query against parameter string type.
What would I need to do to convert it to an Integer array?
@OfficerIDs as varchar(200)
Select Officer_UID From Officers Where Officer_UID in (@OfficerIDs)
