I want to parse transaction log file.
Actually, i need to trace out changes in my database.[either by insertion/updation/deletion of data or adding/modifiying object.] within my application.
I study SQL Profile. But it is limited for its run and also resource hunger or extra burden on server in case of large size database and busy server.
So please guide me. Also suggest be its appropriate solution.
Thanks.
Hi All
I'm getting this when executing the code below. Going from W2K/SQL2k SP4 to XP/SQL2k SP4 over a dial-up link.
If I take away the begin tran and commit it works, but of course, if one statement fails I want a rollback. I'm executing this from a Delphi app, but I get the same from Qry Analyser.
I've tried both with and without the Set XACT . . ., and also tried with Set Implicit_Transactions off.
set XACT_ABORT ON

for reading the data i have write the Dynamic TSQL based on some condition and based on that it is using 25 different function to populate the data into different 25 column. Tsql returning correct data and is working fine in Enterprise manager. But in my SSIS package it show me time out ERROR.
I have increase and decrease the time to catch the error but it is still there i have tried to set 0 for commandout Properties.
if i'm using the 0 for commandtime out then i'm getting the Distributed transaction completed. Either enlist this session in a new transaction or the NULL transaction.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am fairly new to SQL and am trying to write a function to parse the ip address into 4 sections. I have been searching through the forums to see if anyone has a posted example of parsing an ip address but could not find one.

Hi All!
I have a table, tblstudents that has the fields strfirstname and strlastname. The table was imported from MS Acess where they were storing the first name and the lastname in the same field. Sucks doesn't it? Anyway, I need to write a script to extract the first name from the lastname and insert it into the first name field which is blank. So far I figure I can use select into, but need to find a way to tell sql server to take the fart of the field after the comma (the first name) and to delete the comma becuase I won't need it anymore.
Help!
Select '%,' into tblclients as strfirstname from tblclients
I know this won't work, but I want to show you all I'm at least trying!
This script parses the @@VERSION global variable into individual columns.
I developed it because I wanted to be able gather standard info on all versions.
I know there are functions for a lot of this, but only starting with SQL 2000.
It seems to work with all versions of SQL Server from 7.0 through 2005.
I haven't tested with 6.5 and before or 2008, because I don't have either available.
Please report any problems you see.

i am executing an sql statement in sql server 2005 express edition. It says it is unable to parse the query then automatically re-arranges the sql text and then it is able to parse it and return me the result. my query is this: What am I doing wrong?

I create a Execute SQL Task and Load a stored procedure into the "SQL Statement" box. This stored procedure has many 'go' words and many commented lines either with '--' mark or '/*' or '*/' mark.
When Parse Query, get Package Error "Deferred prepare could not be completed. Statements could not be prepared".
But I could run the same proc under the isql/w with no problem.
How could I deal with this error? Though it looks the execution of the package still run successful. The Parsing just create uncertainty.

Has anyone tried to parse a column containing sql syntax to obtain the actual column names used in the syntax field. So if the field had acctno =1001 then it would return acctno.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using MSSQL v8 (if that matters)
The data looks like the following
---------------------------
| PBP 20070420 2:26pm |
---------------------------
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 need to find all the dates that are within the last 10 months. How do I perform this task?
I am getting a pain in the butt error in DTS.
If I use and Execute SQL Task like this ...
------------------------------------
DECLARE @VAR
SET @VAR = ?
EXEC sp_Test @VAR
------------------------------------
and then click parse query I get an error "Syntax error or Access violation"
However; if I use it this way
------------------------------------
EXEC sp_Test ?
------------------------------------
it works.
Now here is the odd thing. If I put in a DECLARE statement and a global parameter "?" I get the syntax error.
But .... If I use a disconnected edit and use DECLARE and "?" then task will run properly. So the problem seems to be with the query parser.
The problem is I don't have the time to edit everything in a disconnected manner. Is there a way or update that will allow me to use DECLARE and "?". I have tried many hotfixes but none have worked.
This package will do very simple thing. It will parse the file and load it into table.
The format the file will be with fixed position:
From position 1 to 18, I need trim all the ending space and map it to a field of base table.
1. This is what I have done in the sql 2000 DTS package. How do I do the twist of data mapping on the SSIS?
I was using Active-x script in the 2000 DTS package.
EmployeeNumber = Trim(DTSSource(1))
EmployeeNumber = Left(EmployeeNumber, Len(EmployeeNumber) - 1)
2. At the Contrl Flow tab, I only have "Data Flow Task". I don't see the place I can do expression.
Thanks.

In MS Access 2000 if I have a String such as:Column1Delta CC: 123Charley CC: 234Foxtrot CC: 890and I wanted to extact just the numbers in to a field called CCI could use this formula in a calculated field:CC: Mid([Column1],Instr(1,[Column1],"CC")+3,50)resulting in:CC123234890Any idea on what the code should be within a view in SQL Server?also -- what is a good reference that can help with these types ofproblems.Any help appreciated!RBollinger

This package will do very simple thing. It will parse the file and load it into table.
The format the file will be with fixed position:
From position 1 to 18, I need trim all the ending space and map it to a field of base table.
1. This is what I have done in the sql 2000 DTS package. I was using Active-x script:
EmployeeNumber = Trim(DTSSource(1))
EmployeeNumber = Left(EmployeeNumber, Len(EmployeeNumber) - 1)
2. At the Contrl Flow tab, I only have "Data Flow Task". I don't see the place I can do expression.
Thanks.
Hope someone can help... I need a function to parse a string using a beginning character parameter and an ending character parameter and extract what is between them. For example.....
Here is the sample string: MFD-2fdr4.zip
CREATE FUNCTION Parse(String, '-' , '.')
.....
....
.....
END
and it shoud return 2fdr4
Hi,
I've the following query. I'm using the yellow highlighted to join 2 tables, as these tables dont have a relationship between them.
The format of the name field is 'AAAA-BBBBBB-123'
here A will be only 4 chars, followed by '-' B can be any number of chars again followed by '-' and the last is the id which I'm using to do a join. This query will fail if the id is just 1 digit as its taking the last 3 chars as the id.
I dont know how to get the id from the right using charindex. Charindex would search for the first occurence of '-' from the right and get the chars after hypen i.e 123. How can this be achieved?
SELECT id AS 'ID',
name AS 'name',
sequence AS 'num'
FROM
FirstTable A
INNER JOIN SecondTable q
ON (CONVERT(INT,RIGHT(name,3))= a.id)
INNER JOIN ThridTable t
ON(t.id = q.id)
INNER JOIN FourthTable s
ON (q.name = s.name )
WHERE A.id = @ID
AND t.name=LEFT(s.name,((CHARINDEX('-',s.name))-1))
ORDER BY 'ID','num'
One more question on this is: Is this a good way of joining tables? If I dont use this I've a very large query containing unions. Which one should be bug-free and more efficient?
Thanks,

I am learning how to parse XML data into SQL table. Below partial XML data contains multiple sections. I used OPENXML to parse one section but need to parse the remaining sections into a table. For example, below openxml code can only retrieve elements under "NewHires/Newhire/EmployeeInfo/PersonName" section. I also need to parse elements under "NewHires/Newhire/EmployeeInfo/ContactMethod" sections. Notice that there are three subsections underneath the ContactMethod section ("/Telephone", "/InternatEmailAddress", and "/PostalAddress") sections. Not to mention there are EmergencyContact section follow behind.Â
OpenXML can only extract one section at a time. Does it mean I have to write multiple OpenXML, store them into multiple temp tables then merge them into a single table? If that is the case, how to save all these data into a single table?Â
parse all the elements in lieu of OpenXML?
Here is the partial XML data:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
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 €œmulti-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, €œ~€?. 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.
