I have had an unusual request and I thought to ask youreal smart folks out there for a hand.
I am working with a non microsoft application that writes links to an html file. I need to extrapolate the link and pull it into a database table on our MS-SQL 2005 server.
I believe that this woould best be done with a stored procedure.
I guess that I will get the files and save them on a given directory on the W2K3 Enterprise server and run the proceedure there.
I have created an Access2003 project (existing data) that links to external data. First I connected to a SQL Server 2000 database. Success. Then I tried to set up a Transact SQL data connection to a legacy MDW-secured Access97 database. (A third-party VB6 application goes against it, and we don't have the source code, so we cannot upgrade it.)
The Transact SQL link tests OK but I cannot select any of the tables or queries from the list presented. However, with the same credentials, I can use these same objects in Excel 2003.
When setting up the link in Access2003, I specify JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider, I enter the MDW file on the All tab, a username and a password on the Connection tab where I browse to the MDB file, and specify Shared Deny None on the Advanced tab. When I test the connection, it tests OK ("Test connection succeeded"). Yet on the "Select the Database and Table/Cube which contains the data you want" dialog, "(Default)" appears in the grayed-out dropdown. Then, beneath that dropdown, there is a grid with Name and Description columns. The grid contains query names but the grid is not enabled. The list of queries is this table is grayed out. Neither of the scrollbars works.
BUT... if I use the SAME username and password in Excel2003, and specify the same MDW, there is no problem working with these same database objects in the legacy Access97 database. WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THE WIZARD IN EXCEL THAT ALLOWS IT TO SUCCEED AND THE WIZARD IN ACCESS THAT CAUSES IT TO FAIL HERE? In Excel, the list of available providers says Microsoft Access Driver, not JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider.
When trying to link to an SQL table in Access 2003, the software appears to be malfunctioning.
The sequence of events is File - Get External Data - Link Tables - Files of Type: ODBC Databases().
The Problem: On two of my computers, the select data source window does not pop up, preventing me from linking to any ODBC data source.
Observations: This function has worked normally in the recent past and works on other computers running Access 2003. One difference between the computers working and non-working computers is Norton Antivirus 2006 (recent upgrade).
Has anyone experienced anything like this? What's going on?
Ok, to start, i have read SO many posts on this site, and othe sites, and i cannot get this to work.
What i want to do is: 1. Login 2. show an image from a SQL database, based on that login.
I have the image path stored in the database, and i can easily get it to display on the screen, but it doesnt show the correct image for the login, it shows them all. (all images based on that column).
I know i have to put a WHERE at the end of my SELECT statement, but everything i have tried doesnt work.
When i do the query builder, and i put in the value, it shows exactly what i want, based on the login's username.
Ok so every week I have to download a file containing in excess of 40000 products. I then have to change the category ids to suit my system. Is there a script or something that I could create so I just run it each week to do a search and replace and then loop until all category ids have been changed.
Table = ecommstore Column = section
I would need to change say from 84 to 1 then 86 to 2, 87 to 3 etc etc
Good Morning, I'm not quite sure this is the right place to post this, but i'll try anyway. I have a website where I allow people to create their own layouts in HTML, and in the HTML I have them placeing markers (eg. |1| ) where they would like to place something from a database. All the HTML is stored in a SQL Server DB, and when I pull it out, it's fine, except it won't allow me to Replace any of the markers with values from the DB. Here's and example line of HTML that's held in the DB:<table width='50%' border='1'><tr><td>|0|</td><td>|1|</td></tr> and when I do a strHtml.Replace("|0|", dReader["somefield"].ToString()) or even just a strHtml.Replace("|0|", "Test") it never changes it. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Deepthought

hi im making a page where i want a single line at a time to be pulled from my MS Database, basically at the moment i have a list of questions, but the page is displaying all the questions from my database, i only want it to pull out 1 and then if the user clicks the true button then it goes to another page and displays another question?
I need to pull a report that gives me the desired results as show below. I first show the data that is in the table, then below that is the desired result.
What I am trying to do is pull every employee's most recent 3 appraisal Effective Dates within the last 4 years where Rating is different than X.
Sorry I don't reall know how to explain this using code because I seem to be having a block right now. Not sure where to start really.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks again!

My current SQL:
SELECT DISTINCT TOP 3 Employee, Appr_Eff as [Appr Effective], Rating_Of_Rcd as [Rating] FROM tblAPPRAISALS WHERE Appr_Eff >= DateAdd("YYYY", -4, Date()) AND Rating_Of_Rcd <> "X" Order by 1, 2 DESC
Results from this Query:
Employee | Appraisal Effective | Rating A | 1/10/2006 | 5 A | 1/10/2005 | 4 A | 1/10/2004 | 5
Desired Results:

FROM Edina_Class class LEFT JOIN Edina_Names names ON names.claimno = class.claimno INNER JOIN Edina_Address addr ON class.claimno = addr.claimno where addr.isactive = 1
What I want is to pull back the unique names, so, if the use only had 1 name, name2-4 would be blank, if the person had 3 names name4 would be blank.
Since "name1" is in the address table, I can pull that one back easy, but what is happening, is the code is taking the first name is finds in the name table and filling in names2 - names4 with it.
I have no idea how to fix the person besides recreating the name to have all of the names per user in 1 record opposed to individual records in the names table.

I have read loads and loads of examples and looked at other sources of info for help on this but am struggleing big time.
I have multiple users working in the same database table. The problem is they often get an error message about the record has been changed and would they like to save the changes to clipboard etc etc.
I basicly want to implement pessimistic locking for my tables. So once a user has started to edit that record nobody else can get to it.
Code: SELECT P.ID, P.QTY, T_DATE FROM PARTS P INNER JOIN INVENTORY I ON P.ID = I.PART_ID WHERE P.QTY > 0 AND I.CODE = 'R' GROUP BY P.ID, P.QTY, I.T_DATE HAVING MAX(T_DATE) !> DATEADD(MONTH,-12,GETDATE())
[Code] ....
I am trying to make the sql only pull records where the highest date stored is older than a year ago.
So, based on today's date 12/21/2012:
if the highest (max) T_DATE is 3/12/2012 => don't pull that record if the highest (max) T_DATE is 11/30/2011 => pull that record into the recordset
the statement is off, it is pulling records that should not be included.

Hello, I am new here and to sql so please bare with me.
I am trying to create 2 select statements from the same field. The field is a job_description field that sometimes contains PO#'s. One select statement needs to extract the PO# if it has been written in the field and the other needs to extract all data that is not the PO#
Here is some example of the data:
New shirts for 2007 Magazine cover for may edition Way to go postcards PO# 45687 PO#879
For the first select statement I need to capture just the PO#. the result for the above examples would be:
NULL NULL 45687 879
For the second select statement I need everything but the PO#. The result would be:
New shirts for 2007 Magazine cover for may edition Way to go postcards NULL
So far I have put together a basic idea for the PO# part:
(SELECT SUBSTRING (job_description , (SELECT patindex('%PO#%', job_description)+3),10)WHERE job_description LIKE '%po#%')
If i could figure out a way to only return numeric data from the above i think it will work.
As for the second select statement i am at a loss on how to select everything but the PO#.
I am having a problem trying to pull data that has apostrophe in them. How can I do this? I get this as an error

I am the only DBA for a company of about 200 employees which makes about 100 million a year; I have 8 SQL servers some with over 70 databases on them that feed our web sites and educational web sites. I also have a few databases that are between 75 and 120 Gig that is for our circulation system. I am the Systems admin for all of the systems that run of my SQL server, so that makes our circ system, tradeshow system, accounting system, web sites there are about 90 of them or so. I also do programming for our IT department and some web site stuff as well as for our tradeshow dept. I am the answer man for our sales people and programmers, I also have the knowledge to build by own servers and run a network. So that€™s over 200 databases plus all the other *** that I do. Oh and by the way I'm supposed to help out and cover for our Tec support guys, witch there are 2 of them by the way. I can never take any more than 3 days off at a time; I have a month€™s vacation. I do all this for under $55,000 a year. I am never included in any decisions on software that runs on SQL nor am I consulted on any thing having to do with SQL. I work for a director who knows nothing about SQL server. There are 2 JR data guys and they do just data queries and deal with the day to day circ requests. These guys both have an office not to mention the tech guys have an office and guess what I am in a cube. I asked my boss for a laptop with a Verizon air card so when I€™m not at work if something happens that needs my attention I do have to drive to work or go home and remote in, here is the best part he looked at me and asked if I was high. I am on call 24/7 365. I have over 10 years experience working with SQL. I€™m I crazy for staying? I have been with this company for almost 8 years; I am the one who started them out on SQL server. I have converted every thing over to SQL 98.5% of all the company data I am in charge of. What would you do?
We are currently moving existing SSIS packages from one server to another. The former server is 32 bit and the new server is 64 bit clustered (not sure if that's relevant or not, though).
One package in particular is giving me a headache. It pulls from an access file to sql server 2005 table. We set up the security as don't save senstive and put the connection strings in a config file. We had to set the original job up to run the package step under a proxy account to get it to work.
If we right click on the package through the SSIS Store interface and execute it runs fine. However when we try to run it through the scheduled job, it fails. I very much appears to be a permissions issue on the proxy account. The person setting up the server is somewhat new to the area of SQL Servers, so they cannot provide much feedback. We're very much in a tweak until it works position, unfortunately.
Here are the errors that I am getting, one from the history of the job, one from the SQL Server logging. Does anyone have a suggestion, and if it is a permissions issue, where to look? I've been at this for days, so I've tried several different approaches. It seems like right now that I almost got it to work, but it seems like the connection to the access db is failing. But if that's the case, why does it run fine through the proxy on the original server (using same account)? I guess that very well could come down to the 64 bit problem (saw this on some other posts). I should mention that I set up the package as Run64BitRuntime = false. Do I need to rethink this as a batch file using DTExec? That was actually our original solution on the former server, but we could never get to work.

I seem to be having a problem in getting a string formatted correctly that I'm pulling from a SQL Datasource.I'm trying to format a Datalist, and more specifically, a Paypal "Add to Cart" button that's supposed to pass several values to another page. The problem I have is with passing the price amount. All the data is in a SQL Express database and the price field is in the database as "money". However it outputs the dollar amount with too many trailing zeros, for example $6.00 is formatted as 6.0000. I'm trying to pass it into the form variable with this code:<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="<%# DataBinder.eval(Container.dataitem, "Price", "{0}" %>">Unfortunately, that tends to make include the trailing zeros and mess up the ability to pass the variable. Can anyone help me with how to format this variable so there's no trailing zeros, just so that $6.00 comes out as 6.00 and not 6.0000?Thanks
Ok... Here is what I want to to: I have a number of tables, but this query concerns only two of them: Employee, Disposition, with a one to many relationship on the phone number.. Employee has personal info, and dispostion is a large table that keeps track of transactions. There is a unque_id for every transaction.
I want to pull some information. A date is assciated with each trans action on the disposition table. I want to be able to pull up all the unique employee phone numbers from a disposition table but only the latest date they made a transaction. My result should be only one phone nbr, one transaction number, and the date of the last transaction, per employee phne_nbr. But I can't seem to be able to pull this.
This query gets me the max date called per phne_nbr:
select 'Max'= max(dte_call), phne_nbr into TestTable from Disposition group by phne_nbr
The problem arises when I need to get the unique_id for that transaction, as I need it for other queries...The code below does not work...I get duplicate records and so forth.
select 'Max'= max(dte_call), phne_nbr, unique_id into TestTable from Disposition group by phne_nbr, unique_id
This shouldn't be that hard!! (((I tried a variation usin select distinct with the filed I wanted to be distinct in () otherfield, other field... but the distinct is not limited to the field in (), it gets the distinct record for the entire select ))) I must be missing something simple here. Can anyone help!!!
I got this piece of code from one of your articles:
select * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;DATABASE=c: est.xls', 'Select * from [Book1$]')
Question is, how can I use a fully qualified path for the xls file name if the file is located on the network elsewhere?is that possible with this option?
Hi friends, I am new to MSAS world. I need help related to this. I want to pull data from MSAS cube programmatically. Only way I know is thru ODBO, but that won't help me in this case, cause I might have to drill down upto all possible intersections stored in MSAS (at least all of the stored members). Doing this thru MDX could be humongous thing, at least manipulating data taken out using ODBO. I might be missing something out here. Can anybody help. It would also help if somebody can tell me if any other approach is poosible.

Ok I wrote a SSIS package that will pull down data from my AS/400 and populate a SQL Server table with the data.
1)The data is being pulled from my China configured AS/400. It is configured to handle DBCS 2)The SQL Server tables are configured to handle DBCS by using the nvarchar datatype. 3)When I run this package on my machine against the production server, it works perfectly. 4)When I run this package on my test SQL Server against the production server,it works perfectly. 5)When I run this package on my production SQL Server it brings down all the records, but does not bring down all the fields. Most of the character fields are left blank.(not all)
I do not understand why this is doing this. Can anyone shed any light on this problem? Thank you.
eventually I started using DERIVED Tables and Sub queries within them if needed. I like choking down all the queries in the selects joining them and having your result set select there to choose from all the aliases, it also resolves while doing this. So much easier IMO than using CTE's or TEMP Tables. I was big on temp tables for a while...
I'm curious though if you want to count a type of criteria in a column do you use a standard case in your inner query choking it down just for those particular counts? Then do another case on the other criteria and END AS with the alias name?
E.G.
CASE WHEN COLUMN1 = PIZZA THEN COUNT(COLUMN1) END AS PIZZACOUNT CASE WHEN COLUMN1 = ROOTBEER THEN COUNT(COLUMN!) END AS ROOTBEERCOUNT ETC...........
I am trying to pull only those records with a maximum upload date for a file upload log.
This table keeps a list of files uploaded by supplierID and will have multiple records from the same supplier but with all different upload dates. Overall there are over 1,000 records for 48 uniqur suppliers.
The field names are: SupplierID, UploadDate, FeedFileName, RecordCount, FeedFileDate, RecordCount, and FeedLoaded.
So for each distinct SupplierID I'd like to grab the line item based on the max feedfiledate for each one - in other words I am trying to get the latest uploaded file information, how many records were in the file, and when it was uploaded... I've tried multiple group by and max clauses but there is something I am missing...
I have a table, multiple columns, thousands of rows.
Six of the columns is the data that i need to work with...
col1, col2, col3, col4, col5, col6
col1 and col2 - go together - example. col1 = amount col2 = description col3 and col4 - go together col3 = amount col4 description col5 and col6 - go together col5 amount and 6 description
i need to pull search the table based on an auto number "id" and pull in the necessary two columns that correspond with a set value in the description.
example:
if col4 has "fee applied" in the description i need to pull the amount.

I am currently working in the sql server 2000 environment and I want towrite a function to pull all dates within a given date range. I havecreated several diferent ways to do this but I am unsatisfied withthem. Here is what I have so far:declare @Sdate as datetimedeclare @Edate as datetimeset @SDate = '07/01/2006'set @EDate = '12/31/2006'select dateadd(dd, count(*) - 1, @SDate)from [atable] vinner join [same table] v2 on v.id < v2.idgroup by v.idhaving count(*) < datediff(dd, @SDate, @EDate)+ 2order by count(*)this works just fine but it is dependent on the size of the table youpull from, and is really more or less a hack job. Can anyone help mewith this?thanks in advance
I have a problem trying to get a value from textbox 1 and textbox 2.If those two values match the data in the database then it has toreturn a third corresponding value to a third textbox (or label) aftera user clicks a submit button. Basically, I am trying to allow usersto enter a value of weight in pounds in textbox 1 and a zip code intextbox 2 then pulling the shipping amount from a courier's databaseand returning that dollar amount to a third textbox or label afterthey click submit. How would I write this code in vb.NET?Thanks,TG
This is day 1 of me ever using RS so forgive ignorance of the topic.
Here's the basic scenario:
Input parameter from the user is an Account name.
For that account name I want to list Addresses of locations under the account, and then for each of those, I want to list received shipments from the address.
So Ideally the result is:
Account Name
Address 1
Shipment 1 Shipment 2 Shipment 3
Address 2
Shipment 1 Shipment 2
Address 3
Shipment 1
So, I am able to list the addresses just fine, but the next step is getting the stuff from the shipments table based on the currently running address? I'm probably saying that poorly. What I need to know is how do I structure the dataset/report to accomplish this. I suppose I could combine the query for the shipments with the query for the addresses, but that seems suboptimal to me.
