Hi all��I'm new to expressions, and am trying to write one where I can evaluate if a field is null, to handle it by inserting a default value if a null value is found. Given this table definition:
I have been looking all over for some info about other people having this problem, but haven't found anything.
I have a package that needs to download a dated file from an ftp site. I am using a couple script objects to set variables, and one of them is the filename based on the date. I use an expression to get the date:
Everything works really well when I am debugging it locally. However once it is on the server or even once I come back to it in a day or two, I am still seeing the old date. I thought it might be because my variable needed to be set to evaluateexpression = true, however once I did this it hung me and prevented me from debugging and I had to end bus dev studio. Not sure if its because it is being evaluated in two places (as a global and then in a script) but when I took it out of my script it hung again. Its strange in order to get it to work when I am debugging it locally I have to go to each process and evaluate the expressions in there, then it seems to work. thanks!
Hi, I'm creating a dynamic SQL statement in MS SQL Server that is similiar to this: EXEC('IF @' + @current_column + ' (SELECT ' + + @current_column etc... I'm basically looping through a large list of parameters that correspond to column names. However, since SQL Server treats EXEC() as its own scope when it gets to what "@' + @current_column" evaluates to it says the parameter must be declared. Is there a way to convert "@' + @current_column " into the actual value of the parameter?
We recently moved from v6.5 to v7.0. Now I have the databases and logs set to "autogrow". How can I monitor the disk space to ensure I do not run out of room (or is that preset as to how large it can grow ?). Can't find anything in the books online. Do I do this through the NT admin tool or through the SQL*Server Enterprise Manager and more importantly - how ??? Thanks so much for any help... Nancy

Our Business partners request me to read the field names from a SQL table dynamically so that my SSIS package will not get impacted if Web Service hosts make a change.
Is there a way to evaluate a string at runtime that contains a field name ?
Hello all, I currently have a pain in the butt with a subquery that needs to be evaluated, and if the result gives me a null value, I want to re-evaluate the condition and fill the column with the proper information. I'll try to explain it as best as I can:
The query retrieves information from 2 tables basically, but i do need some inner joins of diferent tables in order to follow the relations.. I got 2 conditions that need to be acomplished, the 'typeof' (intId_Tipo) has to be diferent from 6 and a keycode equals to 3.
For the "general query" i do filter this just fine, but in the subquery is where I get stucked: Since the evaluation that I do in oder to find the initial point is just by substracting 1, there are some cases where the type called intId_Tipo is actually 6 and the subquery returns me a null value. In this particular case I want to substract 2..if not I just want to substract 1. I added a SQL CASE in oder to evaluate the null value, but it is not evaluating properly, why? I'm not sure, I need your help and recomendation guys
Here's the query that I currently have: (the comments were made in order to take the next screenshot)
Code Snippet SELECT --h.dt_Lectura, --h.int_Velocidad, rp.int_VelMaxima, (SELECT intpunto FROM tblRecorrido_Puntos WHERE intPunto = case when (intPunto) is null then rp.intPunto - 2 else rp.intPunto -1 END AND rp.intId_Ruta_Ramal =intId_Ruta_Ramal AND intId_Tipo =rp.intId_Tipo) as PuntoInicial, rp.intPunto as PuntoFinal --rp.strDescripcion_Punto as DescripcionPuntoFinal, --1 as Contador --a.idRuta_Guid, a.idRamal_Guid,a.idUnidad_Guid, a.idOperador_Guid
FROM tblHistorico h INNER JOIN tblAsignaciones a ON a.id=h.intIdAsignaciones INNER JOIN tblRutaRamal_Generado rrg ON rrg.id_Ruta = a.intRuta_Asignada INNER JOIN tblRecorrido_Puntos rp ON (rp.intId_Ruta_Ramal =rrg.intId_Ruta_Ramal AND rp.intPunto=h.int_PtoDest)
WHERE ( h.int_ClaveTDE =3 and rp.intId_Tipo <> 6 )
ORDER BY rp.intPunto ASC

I want to do some error checking on the parameters found in a SQLDataSource before I run the insert. The problem is these are ControlParameters and I want to do this dynamically so I can't just call the Control.Text property and grab its value. So how can I get access to what the ControlParameter evaluates to? Secondly, is there a way to access what the update parameters evaluate to in order to check them before they're inserted - if so how do I get access to these? Here's an example of one of the data sources i'm using:<asp:SqlDataSource ID="sqlContact" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:strConn %>" SelectCommand="SELECT [ContactID], [FirstName], [LastName], , [Address], [Phone], [Grade], [Contacted], [ListServe] FROM [Contact]" UpdateCommand="UPDATE Contact SET FirstName = @FirstName, LastName = @LastName, Email = @Email, Address = @Address, Phone = @Phone, Grade = @Grade WHERE ContactID = @ContactID" DeleteCommand="DELETE FROM [Contact] WHERE ContactID = @ContactID" InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [Contact] ([FirstName],[LastName],,[Address],[Phone],[Grade],[Contacted],[ListServe]) VALUES (@FirstName,@LastName,@Email,@Address,@Phone,@Grade,0,0)"> <UpdateParameters> <asp:Parameter Name="FirstName" Type="String" /> <asp:Parameter Name="LastName" Type="String" /> <asp:Parameter Name="Email" Type="String" /> <asp:Parameter Name="Address" Type="String" /> <asp:Parameter Name="Phone" Type="String" /> <asp:Parameter Name="Grade" Type="String" /> </UpdateParameters> <InsertParameters> <asp:ControlParameter Name="FirstName" Type="String" ControlID="txtContactFirst" PropertyName="Text" /> <asp:ControlParameter Name="LastName" Type="String" ControlID="txtContactLast" PropertyName="Text" /> <asp:ControlParameter Name="Email" Type="String" ControlID="txtContactEmail" PropertyName="Text" /> <asp:ControlParameter Name="Address" Type="String" ControlID="txtContactAddress" PropertyName="Text" /> <asp:ControlParameter Name="Phone" Type="String" ControlID="txtContactPhone" PropertyName="Text" /> <asp:ControlParameter Name="Grade" Type="String" ControlID="ddlContactGrade" PropertyName="SelectedValue" /> </InsertParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource> An Event is fired when I click add on a button which looks similar to this: //Add btnAddContact_Clickprotected void btnAddContact_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { InsertRow(sqlContact); }The InsertRow() function is then what i'm using to evaluate the values... So how can get the values those controlparameters actually are in order to evaluate them before I actually insert. Or is there a better way to do it?
Hi I'm updating an old Access application to SQL Server and am currently trying to decipher one of the reports on the old application. It appears to be evaluating a derived column from one query (qryStudentSuspGroup.Suspension) in the Select statement of another. I have tried to put the query that creates the derived column in as a nested query into the other query but can't get it to work. This is all a bit beyond my rudimentary SQL skills! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The original Access SQL appears below:
SELECT [Enter the academic year (4 digits)] AS [input], ResearchStudent.Department, ResearchStudent.DateAwarded, ResearchStudent.StudentNumber, Person.Forenames AS fore, Person.Surname AS Sur, ResearchStudent.Mode, ResearchStudent.RegistrationDate, StudentExamination.Decision, IIf(([Suspension]) Is Null Or [Suspension]=0,([DateAwarded]-[RegistrationDate])/365,(([DateAwarded]-[RegistrationDate])-([Suspension]))/365) AS CompDate, ResearchStudent.EnrollmentCategory, qryStudentSuspGroup.Suspension FROM ((ResearchStudent LEFT JOIN Person ON ResearchStudent.ResearchStudentID = Person.PersonID) LEFT JOIN qryStudentSuspGroup ON ResearchStudent.ResearchStudentID = qryStudentSuspGroup.ResearchStudentID) LEFT JOIN StudentExamination ON ResearchStudent.ResearchStudentID = StudentExamination.ResearchStudentID WHERE (((Year([DateAwarded]))>=[Enter the academic year (4 digits)] And (Year([DateAwarded]))<=([Enter the academic year (4 digits)]+1)) AND ((IIf(Year([DateAwarded])=[Enter the academic year (4 digits)],Month([DateAwarded])>8,Month([DateAwarded])<9))<>False)) ORDER BY ResearchStudent.Department, ResearchStudent.Mode, ([DateAwarded]-[RegistrationDate])/365
I have two int fields in my database, CEOAnnualBonus and CEOBonus, and I want to return the value of whichever one has the larger value as CEOBonusCombined. I thought using COALESCE would do the trick like below but there are many cases where either CEOAnnualBonus or CEOBonus have a zero value instead of NULL and it doesn't work.
SELECT COALESCE(CEOAnnualBonus, CEOBonus) AS CEOBonusCombined FROM tbenchmarktemp WHERE Ticker='F'

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.
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.
well I have this code. I connect to database and submit data. now i dont know which expression to use to validate if data is submited redirect to next level else show some error. protected void Button1_Click1(object sender, EventArgs e) { SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@"somecode"); SqlCommand comm = new SqlCommand(); comm.Connection = con; comm.CommandText = "insertuser"; comm.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;some code... comm.Connection.Open(); comm.ExecuteNonQuery(); con.Close(); } i dont wanna validate the fields as i can do it using field validator i wanna check if data is inserted in database.
When I try and create this procedure, I get the error below
CREATE PROCEDURE GetUserSearchTypesCount -- OUTPUT parameter to hold the count. @UserID int, @ReturnVal int OUTPUT AS
SET @ReturnVal = (SELECT TOP 100 percent searchType, COUNT(searchtype) AS SearchCount FROM ttracksearchresults WHERE userid=@UserID GROUP BY searchtype ORDER BY searchtype)
GO
Error: Only one expression can be specified in the select list when the subquery is not introduced with EXISTS.
I need a statement like:UPDATE tblQuestions SET QuestionNumber = QuestionNumber +1 WHERE QuestionNumber >=10 AND TestID = 1 AND SectionNumber = 1 (Required output is clear from statement itself)
I tried with UPDATE tblQuestions SET QuestionNumber = EVAL(QuestionNumber +1) WHERE QuestionNumber >=10 AND TestID = 1 AND SectionNumber = 1 and UPDATE tblQuestions SET QuestionNumber = (QuestionNumber +1) WHERE QuestionNumber >=10 AND TestID = 1 AND SectionNumber = 1
I've just started working with SQL. Please suggest correct approach.
I have the following code in the expression builder for a ExecuteSQL Task in the Control Flow. "INSERT dbo.StgFileList SELECT ' " + @[User::MyFile] + " ' "

Is it possible to nest expressions within a script in a similar fashion to how they're nested within the expression editor?
I have a requirement to strip trailing digits from a string field, so that only two decimal places are left.
e.g. 1.12345 becomes 1.12 12345.6789 becomes 12345.67
I would do this in the expression editor but I need to use Script component because there are a multitude of conditions that need to be evaluated first which I will do inside a Select Case statement.
Hi, In ssis I would like to map a column from table a to a column in table b Currently this is how I am doing it using sql. I believe I have to use a derived column but not sure how to implement if statement inside it. Thanks
case
when len([Column 5]) = 0 then ''
when lower([Column 5]) = 'unknown' then ''
when isdate([Column 5]) = 1 then substring(ltrim([Column 5]), 1, 4) + substring(ltrim([Column 5]), 6, 2) + substring(ltrim([Column 5]), 9, 2)
The Value expression for the textbox ��Name�� uses an aggregate expression without a scope. A scope is required for all aggregates used outside of a data region unless the report contains exactly one data set....what does this mean...this an error that I have when i try and build my report i get this error for some reason...how do i fix this???
Hi, Is it possible to search in columns with a number datatype (I'm using an MS SQL database with bigint columns) with the ICriterion Expression.Like? Normally the Expression.Like is used for varchar columns. However, if there's a bigint column with the value 167829 I want to search for example on %678%. Cheers, koekie
Hello,In VB/VB.NET, I can use an expression as such to evaluate true/false:Dim blnValue As Boolean = (SomeObject.Property = "Some value")Can I do this in T-SQL?declare @var bitset @var = ?Thanks.
Hello, I need to create a table where a column's data should have a hypen inserted after the second character. The table will accept a large input of rows, so I think it would be better to use a SQL expression or formula on the column to provide the hyphen on insert rather than doing an update statement later. There is no way of knowing how many characters will follow the hyphen. So for example... 888888 would become 88-8888 or 5555555555555555 would become 55-55555555555555 Any help would be great!
I have a table in which one of the column name is "NAME". I have to write query in which column is not null and if there is something then check for 'trust' or 'trustee' in the string. and if found don't pull that record. skip it
HiI'm looking to return rows from a table where a column is LIKE a keyword. This is my current code:SELECT DISTINCT business_name FROM Table WHERE business_name LIKE @keyword + '%' ORDER BY business_name ASCThe problem with this is that if a business is called "The White Ship Inn", and the keyword to match is "White Ship" it will not match. If i put another wild card in front of @keyword then this finds too many matches - i need it to match against columns which either start with the keyword, or have a whitespace in front of them. Is there some kind of T-Sql i can use or will i have to go down the regex route (using this (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mcpp/xpregex.aspx)) ?cheers
Does SqlServer support Regular expression? I want to know if it's avilable or not... And if it's not available, I want to know any other efficient way to validate string.. manipulating Regular expression style validation.
