I would like to evaluate expressions from within my execute function in a custom task. I saw this post from about 8 months ago detailing how it would be possible:

Is there an updated response (or more detailed example) to the question? Am I really risking a lot by using this undocumented feature?

Hi,
I have a table which has expression as a column and the data looks similar to the following .
ID (int) Expression (nvarchar data type)
1 8*(1/2)-6
2 278*(1/4)-2
3 81*(3/5) +4
I now have the expression as an nvarchar. (Ex: 8*(1/2)-6)
Now I need to evaluate this expression and output the result (which is -2 in above Ex) .Can someone give me idea on how do I evaluate the expression which is available as a string. I need to write a procedure for this.
I am unable to cast/convert nvarchar to float/int
Any sample code would be greatly appreciated.
This a very urgent requirement for me.Please get back
Thanks

Is there a way to evaluate an expression (like the derived column component) in a custom component? If so where should I look first? Is there an example?
An extremely simple sample is to put in an expression and evaluate one column and then add that to another column to create a new column. i.e. newcolumn = column1 + column2.
I realize that the derived column allows me to do this but I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to do this in a custom component without having to build my own expression evaluator.
Thanks!

Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone's accomplished this before - I've been unable to find a whiff of info on how to do this so far.
I'm creating a custom component that I'd like to give a "Derived Column" type of ability to. By that, I mean I'd like to populate a property of my component with an expression (including references to input columns, package variables and functions) and be able to evaluate it at runtime - per row processed by the component.
I would also appreciate any information as to how to provide the interface to allow the user to build such an expression as well - is there a UI function in SSIS I can call to pop up the "expression builder"?
Thanks!
Hello friends'
I am new to integration services,first time I'm using XML Task Control in SSIS,
I am stuck with problem saying....
"[XML Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Expression must evaluate to a node-set.".
I am trying to perform XPath operation type and accumulating values in a variable.
I have no clule about error if u can help to come around the problem.
Hi!
On a Reporting Services 2005 report, I have a table with a single group row and a single detail row (and about 5 columns). The details are set up to toggle visibility based on a textbox in the group header called "txt_Order_Number". The order line item details are set with their initial visibility set as hidden. So, when you click on the Plus sign next to the Order Number, the detail rows display below.
However, what I'd like to do is change the background color of the toggled group header row when it is toggled and the details are displayed. Here's what's going on . . .
The row with the Order header information has every textbox set in bold. That's good. It makes a subtle distinction between the order detail rows and the order header row, so when you're looking at the dollar amounts on each line item and trying to add them up in your head to see whether they correctly add up to the dollar amount in the order header row, you can at least more easily see the total amount. However, it makes the whole overall report look funny because all of the order header information is in bold. What I really want to do is change the background color of the order header row to light gray or some other subtle color and change the font to Bold when the details are toggled to visible in order to distinguish that row as the header row.
In order to do this, I think I somehow need to get to a certain element of the Reporting Services object model called "Textbox.ToggleState". If I can get to that piece of the puzzle in an expression or even in code within the report, that should tell me the state of the textbox's toggle switch and I should be able to use that information to conditionally set the color of the textbox.(or every textbox in the row probably.) Here's all I could find out about this on TechNet
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.reportingservices.reportrendering.textbox.togglestate.aspx
I just can't figure out how to get to that piece of information in a Reporting Services expression or in the report's code block.
Any suggestions? I'd appreciate a response even if it's "You can't do that." Actually, the best response someone might be able to provide might be a link to a sample showing how to get to any of the textbox properties like that.
Thanks!

I'm trying to put conditional formatting on a field, that behaves as follows:
The data in the field is varchar, and sample data is either:
NULL
3.0 :0
11.7 :1 (these are ratios of a sort)
I want to evaluate the first 3 characters of the string as numbers.
Example:
Mid(fieldvalue,1,3) = "3.0" or "11."
Any data that is greater than 1.99, I want to make the background dark red, anything else including nulls, zebra formatting. I have the following expression built so far and it appears to work, except when the value is null. If the value is null, it leaves the background color white.
This is the warning: [rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The BackgroundColor expression for the text box "Asthma" contains an error: Input string was not in a correct format.
=iif(
isnothing(Fields!Asthma.Value)
,(IIf(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2 = 0,"#b8cce4","#dbe5f1"))
,(iif(mid(Fields!Asthma.Value,1,3)>1.99
,"DarkRed"
,IIf(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2 = 0,"#b8cce4","#dbe5f1"))))
My logic is, if the field is null, zebra format, if mid of the value is > 1.99, dark red, everything else zebra formatting. As I said, this seems to work except for nulls.
I am trying to add a filter and sorting to a matrix, within the matrix I have a column which works out the percentage and is as follows
=(Sum(Fields!Sum_Distinct_JobBilledExVAT.Value) + Lookup(Fields!ClientId.Value, Fields!JobClientId.Value, Fields!Sum_JobBilledExVAT.Value, "ProfJobClientsFees") + Lookup(Fields!ClientId.Value, Fields!ClientId.Value, Fields!Sum_JobBilledExVAT.Value, "ProfClientsFeesID")) / (Lookup(Fields!ClientId.Value, Fields!ClientId.Value, Fields!Sum_MatchedToOtherPost.Value, "ProfClientsMatch") + Lookup(Fields!ClientId.Value, Fields!ClientId.Value, Fields!Sum_JobBilledExVAT.Value, "ProfClientsCC") + Lookup(Fields!ClientId.Value, Fields!ClientId.Value,
[Code] ....
I tried enclosing the query in Abs( ), which I have done in the past, although in the past I wasn't using Lookup functions so I don't know if that is the reason it won't work.
Hi,
I am trying to programmatically execute a package that contains an Execute SQL Task component bound to a variable for its "SqlStatementSource" property (via an expression). The variable is of type String and contains a simple value of "SELECT 1". The Execute SQL Task contains an expression that sets the SqlStatementSource property to the value of this variable.
The package runs fine when I execute it via dtexec or BIDS, but when I attempt to run it via the object model, I receive the following error message:
The result of the expression ""@[User::Sql]"" on property "SqlStatementSource" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the property.
I did a search on this forum and noticed quite a few threads about this same issue, but no explanation/solution. We have quite a few packages that have dynamically constructed SQL statements for Execute SQL Tasks, and they are all failing to run via the object model. Is there something that I am missing?
Thanks,

I have created 1 report with 2 datasets. This report is attached to the 1st dataset.For example,1st one is "Smallappliances", 2nd is "Largeappliances".
I created a tablix and, the 1st column extracts Total sales per Sales person between 2 dates from 1st dataset (Small appliances). I used running values expression and it works fine.
Now, I would like to add another column that extracts Total sales per sales person between 2 dates from 2nd dataset (Large appliances). I am aware that I need to use Lookup expression and it is giving me the single sales value rather than the total sales values. So, I wanted to use RunningValue expression within lookup table to get total sales for large appliances.
This is the lookup expression that I added for the 2nd column.
=Lookup(Fields!salesperson.Value,Fields!sales_person.Value,RunningValue(Fields!sales_amount.Value,
sum, " sales_person"),
"Largeappliances").
I get this error when I preview the report.An error occurred during local report processing.The definition of the report is invalid.An unexpected error occurred in report processing.

We want to start a job remotely on another SQL7 server.
innocently we thought that should be no problem with sp_start_job.
We used the command listed below:
use msdb
go
EXEC sp_start_job @job_name='MyJobName', @server_name='blablabla'
The strange thing is, that sp_start_job ignores the @server_name at all.
Even if we enter complete nonsense for @server_name the job gets started as long it is present on the local sqlserver instance.
sp_start_job seems to search locally for the given job_name, only.
Consequently if we enter the remote server's name the job fails as the
jobname is not present on the local sqlserver.
Any ideas what's going wrong here.

I am trying to evaluate dates within my sub queries for A,B,C,D. If there is a count > 0 in the 'A' category, I need to evaluate if the servicedates in B,C,D are within 30 days of 'A'. How would I code this within my current code?
select
customernumber,
SUM(CASE WHEN category = 'A' then 1 else 0 end) 'A',
SUM(CASE WHEN category = 'B' then 1 else 0 end) 'B',
SUM(CASE WHEN category = 'C' then 1 else 0 end) 'C',
SUM(CASE WHEN category = 'D' then 1 else 0 end) 'D'
[Code] ....
My BEFORE the case statement:
Customernumber A B C D SERVICEDATE
123456789 1 0 0 0 2012-02-07
123456789 0 0 1 0 2012-02-28
123456789 0 0 1 0 2012-03-06
123456789 0 1 0 0 2012-12-17
My output after case statement:
Customernumber A B C D
123456789 1 1 2 0
What I need my output to look like after case statement:
Customernumber A B C D Service w/in 3 mnths
123456789 1 1 2 0 2
In 'MyTable' I have the following columns...
TotalNumber (numeric)
Weighting (numreric)
Hours (numeric)
Minutes (numeric)
Formula (nvarchar)
'Formula' column stores a literal string of the formula that may include some, none or all of the previous columns or be NULL.
Here are some examples of the actual strings it stores...
Weighting*Hours
Weighting+(TotalNumber*Hours)
Weighting*Hours)+(TotalNumber*2)
etc etc
All I want to do is create a UDF that will evaluate these strings as math formula and return the value depending on the values of the other columns in the row.
Bear in mind that there may not be a string formula at all for some rows, in which case the value of teh Hours column alone should be the result.
I can do this in vb using the 'Replace' function but am having difficulty in translating it over to T-SQL.
Here is the vb version i use in Ms Access...
getFormula(strDutyType As String, dblTotalNumber As Double, dblWeightingAs Double, dblHours As Double, dblMinutes As String, strFormula As Variant)
If IsNull(strFormula) Or strFormula = "" Then
getFormula = dblHours
Exit Function
End If
'Create the expression string with literal values
strExpression = Replace(strFormula, "TotalNumber", _
CStr(dblTotalNumber), , , vbTextCompare) _
strExpression = Replace(strExpression, "Weighting", _
CStr(dblPF), , ,vbTextCompare)
strExpression = Replace(strExpression, "Hours", _
CStr(dblHours), , , vbTextCompare)
strExpression = Replace(strExpression, "Minutes", _
CStr(dblMinutes), , , vbTextCompare)
'Evaluate the math of the literal expression
getFormula = Eval(strExpression)

I've been tasked with taking over the support for a client's SQL Serverdatabase. I'm not a DBA by profession, I'm a software developer whouses SQL Server as a database designer.The clients have reported that the server is running out of disk spaceand examination shows that the log files for several of the databasesare at 5Gb or more.After reading around the subject I suggested the following sequence ofoperations:-- Select the name of the database you want to shrinkUSE MyDB-- Dump unwanted transactionsdump tran MyDB with truncate_only-- Get the name of the logfileSELECT * from sysfiles-- Having examined the rows returned by this use the log file....-- Shrink the file to required size (in MB)DBCC SHRINKFILE('MyDB_log', 10)Is this a reasonable approach? Please bear in mind that I'm pretty newto this, and I have many other tasks to do besides manage the server.A previous DBA has set up good maintenance plans etc. so everything isbeing properly backed up (well, I think it is)If this IS a good approach, would it be reasonable to do this on, say,a monthly basis as a scheduled job? Obviously the stepSELECT * from sysfileswhich gives us the physical name of the log file would be removed andthe job would operate explicitly on each log file for each database inturn.Many thanks for reading.William Balmer.

I have seen it happen frequently that I type in a perfectly valid SSIS expression (this is easy for me since I am an old hand at C++/C/C#) in a row in a Derived Column transformation, and it turns red. Or sometimes, I will have an invalid expression that I correct, but it stays red. Finally I have also seen it happen that I make some change in the data flow pipeline and suddenly a Derived Column transform develops an error. I then go into the Derived Column transform and find that the expression has turned red. So, I literally have to go into the expression in these cases, and make a trivial change to them to get the red error to go away. Alternatively, I can cut the derived column expression text, and then paste it back in and it works (this is most telling.)
So, it seems to me the Derived Column is somehow holding onto some meta data about the Derived Column that is getting out of date (rather than re-evaluating the correctness of the Expression.) One thing I usually can do to repro this at times is to remove a column (that the Derived Column depends upon) from the pipeline and then re-add it. When I go into the Derived Column it will be red, and then like I said I have to tweak the expression to force SSIS to re-evaluate the expression.
Anyway, I'm curious if anyone else has seen this?
Thanks.
I have a script component which loads a file which is in a custom format. The script component is inside a For Each Loop Container and it uses a flat file connection manager. The loop sets the connection string for the connection manager.
The problem I'm having is that the connection string needs to be set to something every time that I start the package but I don't know ahead of time what file there will be, so I get a System.IO.FileNotFoundException error on the script component. If I manually set the variable for the connection string and point it to a file that exists, then the package runs fine but at the end of the package the connection string is set to the last file loaded and this file will no longer exist the next time the package runs.
I hope this makes sense...
I have an ssrs (report builder) with 2 dataset. the first dataset is a summary if records which the report has a column name qty and i put also a total qty summary in the last rows. the second dataset is a raw data and have a column name qty, also i put a total qty summary in the last row. The requirements is to be able to evaluate or check the total qty under dataset1 from total qty of dataset2 if equal else if not equal i have to make the font as red so that the user will inform that the total qty has a discrepancy. the users will validate from raw data which are the one items that have a missing qty. How to work on this or is this appilcable in report builder.

I am working on a company sign out sheet for our Intranet. The application accesses a sql database. I tried using a datareader as well as a dataset to access a small piece of information regarding the group that each employee belongs to in the company. My last attempt was to assign the value to the text property of a text box and evaluate the text from the text box with the Select Case but that did not work either.The application is supposed to generate an email to our receptionist as well as to the group technical assistant responsible for each group according to the value that is passed into the Select Case statement. With the datareader as well as the dataset and even now with creating a text box and accessing the text property, I was able to assign the group value to a variable (I can see the value in the subject of the email), but when the variable is supposed to be evaluated by the select case statement it skips right through all of the cases to case else and uses only the receptionist's address in the email as if it doesn't even see the value of the variable. I have searched for a possible answer to the problem I am but so far have had no luck. Any ideas?

View 1 Replies View Relatedhave a SQL2K/VB.NET05 -based website that uses a complex search query, whose results will contain additional logic to be evaluated. There are thousands of records and growing, so it is not feasible to code this within the program...it must be evaluated inline or after the query, and it is also not feasible to set up additional fields and tables to handle the logic.
For a very general example: In the .NET code, the following variables are recognized:
sex="M"
Paid=4350.00
Outstanding=28000.50
One of the query result fields will contain the additional logic to evaluate and another will tell the type of expression..
EVAL EXPR
BOOL Sex='F' and Paid/Outstanding < 27.50
BOOL Sex='M' and Paid/Outstanding < 38 or Sex='F'
INT Paid*52.33
In other words..the thousands of records being returned have their own additional logic to evaluate. Is there a way this can be done by importing the variable into SQL server and testing it during the query?
If not, is there a way that I can run the code in the middle of .NET? I know I could run scripted code while in ASP, but ASP.NET is compiled, so I dont know if it can be done there....
This is for SQL Server 2000. The purpose of the procedure is to return a subset of a filtered and sorted result set. The subset, filter criteria, and sort column and sort direction can be set dynamically. It uses the rowcount technique for paging.
This would be used to drive an ASP.NET gridview which supports filtering of the data, paging, and sorting. Please let me know what improvements I can make or if you have an idea for a better solution.

I want to evaluate a math formula inside of a function, so I can't use dynamic SQL.
I found that the query on an XML-variable with a literal works well.
DECLARE @sParsedFormula varchar(200);
DECLARE @xFormula xml;
SET @xFormula = '';
SET @sParsedFormula = '1+2';
SELECT @xFormula.query('3+3') , @xFormula.query('sql:variable("@sParsedFormula")')Output (1st value is correctly evaluated, 2nd not):
"6", "1+2"
I can't directly pass @sParsedFormula to the query otherwise I get "The argument 1 of the XML data type method "query" must be a string literal". What is the correct XQuery-syntax to evaluate the SQL:variable?
Hello all,
I am new to SSIS, so I am hoping there is an easier way to do this...
I need to evaluate a date in a field and determine if it is between the beginning and end of whatever the current month is... In Access, this was written as something like:
IIF(datevalue >= CDate(Format(Now(),"mm/01/yy")) AND datevalue < CDate(Format(DateAdd("m",1,Now()), "mm/01/yy)), value1, value2)
Trying to recreate this in SSIS using expressions during a derived transformation has been extremely difficult. Here is what I came up with:
(DUE_DATE >= (DT_DATE)( (DT_WSTR,2)MONTH(GETDATE())+"/01/"+ (DT_WSTR,2)YEAR(GETDATE()))) && (DUE_DATE<(DT_DATE)( (DT_WSTR,2)MONTH( DATEADD("m",1,GETDATE()) )+"/01/"+(DT_WSTR,2)YEAR( DATEADD("m",1,GETDATE() )))) ? value1 : value2
Any help you all could give would be appreciated.

I am having trouble limiting a sum function to only evaluate the data in the slicer. I need a sum of data calculated per employee and when there is a slicer of one employee my measure still evaluates all employee. For example:
WITH
MEMBER [Measures].[TotalEmpHours] AS
SUM([Employee].[Employee].members, [Measures].[Actual Ovt Hours])
select
{
[Measures].[TotalEmpHours],
[Code] ....
The above reports the overtime for one employee in [Measures].[Actual Ovt Hours], I expected [Measures].
[TotalEmpHours] to be the same as there is only one employee in the slicer select. The real measure is the minimum of two values for each employee.
This is a simplified example but I think it should work.Is there another construct to iterate the employee set? I have no control over the query as it is from a pivot grid. If the filter (employee) is leftmost in the row area, then it works because the employee ends up in the row part of the query.
Trying to setup a derived column to use an expression stored in a package variable. But it seems that variables are always evaluated as text...I need it to evaluate as a Columname sometimes.
Example:
On an ETL of Products I want a new derived column that uses two other columns.
I can hardcode an expression of ProductID + " - " + ProductName and that results in dynamic output. But now I want to use that as an expression stored in a variable so I can change it when needed.
So I make that expression = @[User::Variable]
and stuff into @variable ( a string param) : ProductID + " - " + ProductName
My output is the literal "ProductID + " - " + ProductName", and not the actual ID's and Names
I've tried with/without brackets, quotes and braces but no change.
Any way I can get the pieces in that variable expression to evaluate as column names?
I am trying to use SSIS to update an AS400 DB2 database by calling a stored procedure on the AS400 using an OLE DB command object. I have a select statement running against the SQL Server 2005 that brings back 20 values, all of which are character strings, and the output of this select is piped into the OLE DB command object. The call from SSIS works just fine to pass parameters into the AS400 as long as the stored procedure being called does not have an output parameter defined in its signature. There is no way that I can find to tell the OLE DB command object that one of the parameters is an output (or even an input / output) parameter. As soon as one of the parameters is changed to an output type, I get an error like this:

I really need to know if the call to the AS400 stored procedure succeeded or not, so I need a way to obtain and evaluate the output parameter. Is there a better way to accomplish what I am trying to do? Any help is appreciated.
Hi,
I am getting an error when i am trying to insert some value to the sql ce database
"QP is missing and it is required to evaluate default expressions. Ensure that sqlceqp30.dll is in the same directory as the storage engine (sqlcese30.dll)"
Please help

I need to programmatically backup a database in SQL Server Express. I actually also need to programmatically restore it from a backup file. How can I do this programmatically? I know how to do simple ADO commands for simple db operations, but backup and restore sound like "meta" commands to me, and I don't know where to begin from.
