There have been some posts on the difficulties of handling csv with quoted identifers.
I heard there were some custom components that aid in dealing with these as input files.
IYO, what do you consider to be the best way to deal with csv with quoted identifiers as an input to an ETL operation?
Also, if you know of any bloggers making quality (hopefully free) custom components?
Thanks!!
Are Guids good or bad? I've spoken to people who hate them in databases, but the db's I'm using right now all use them, so there must be *some* people out there who like them. I'm interested to know what other people think.
thanks!
I need to be able to verify that SSMS recognizes ONLY system generated session identifiers.
Where in the configuration of the DBMS can i see evidence of this setting, and / or change it if necessary?
This query is the first time I am using the Unpivot syntax and I am coming across a problem. When I try to unpivot my data, I get the following statement:
"Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
The multi-part identifier "Table3.DocketId" could not be bound."
What is the cause of this issue?
Select
Table3.DocketId,
UP.AssignmentType,
Up.AssignedStaff
From
(
Select distinct
Table2.DocketId,
[Code] ....
I have a two tables each having a uniqueidentifier column person_id
I am trying to a select statement where I want a list of the person_id's in one table that are not in another table.
-- insert into wch_needed those who need checked
insert into #wch_needed (person_id, rendered_by )
select distinct e.person_id, e.rendered_by
from #wch_who o, encounter e
where o.person_id not in (select distinct person_id from #wch_have )
and o.person_id = e.person_id
the where conditional
where o.person_id not in (select distinct person_id from #wch_have )
does not work.
How can I do this?
I'm posting this in the ClickOnce forums as well...
My application doesn't include the .mdf and .ldf files, rather it creates the database the first time the application is run using a script that is included in the build. I want to create the database in the ClickOnce data directory. The problem I'm having is that SQL Server complains when I execute the CREATE DATABASE command as follows:
CREATE DATABASE [C:Documents and SettingsxxxxxLocal SettingsApps2.0DataPQCK6EXN.5KGAW630RPT.VGOifie..tion_014028c05b1d6ec6_0001.0002_0e86966f19503c89DataiFieldMobile.mdf] ON PRIMARY

END
Here's the error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException "The identifier that starts with 'C:Documents and SettingsxxxxxxLocal SettingsApps2.0DataPQCK6EXN.5KGAW630RPT.VGOifie..tion_014028c05b1d6ec6_0001.00' is too long. Maximum length is 128."
During Index Rebuild, I get the following error:
"DBCC failed because the following set options have incorrect settings: 'Quoted_Identifier'"
Any ideas what might be causing this?

We have several sp's created to support a 3rd pary app that uses crystal inside the app with an odbc connection. We got sql row errors on any Citrix server where Use ANSI quoted identifiers was not checked. If we had them checked it works. Does this mean the sp's were created with the identifiers on and this is causing the issue?

If you run the following code on 7.0 server, it will send a test file in csv format.
--*********************************
create table ##temp1
(tmp varchar(15))
insert into ##temp1
select 'Erin, Brockowich'
declare @cmd varchar(255)
select @cmd = 'select * from ##temp1'
EXEC master..xp_sendmail
@recipients = '<email>', --change to your email
@query = @cmd,
@subject = 'test-test',
@attach_results = 'true',
@attachments = 'test.csv',
@width = 800
drop table ##temp1
--**********************************
When you receive an email and double click on te attachment, it will launch excel automatically and put 'Erin' and 'Brockowich' in seperate columns. which is good and that is the way I want it.
But if I run this code on sql 2000 server, it will generate a file with 'csv' extension unrecognizable by excel. If you open this 2000 attachment in notepad, you can see that the data looks like
"Erin, Brockowich" (vs Erin, Brockowich without quotes on 7.0 server ), no wonder it is unrecognizable by excel.
I have set quoted_identifier off while compiling all the user sps on 2000 server. But while sending emails from within the procedure, all the attachments still generated with quotes.
How can I get rid of the quotes? We have at least 45 routines running generating coma seperated files as a result of the query and sending emails to the clients for years. Now all of a sudden all the routines got messed up with 2000 upgrade.
Can you suggest any work around?
Thanks,

Hello,
I am trying to insert quoted strings into a database table, however, I cannot remember how to do so. For instance, I am trying to insert the following values into a SQL table:
My Friend's
"Happy Birthday"
exactly as they are listed. How can I do that in a SQL insert statement?
Thanks,
Crystal
I have a stored procedure which returns a count of products and a limited number of rows from a query.
I am using SQL Server 2005 and calling the procedure in asp.net
The procedure is as follows
Code Snippet
GO
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetProductsByCategoryId]
@Category VARCHAR(255),
@Range INT,
@PageIndex INT,
@NumRows INT,
@CategoryName nvarchar(255) OUTPUT,
@CategoryProductCount INT OUTPUT
AS
BEGIN
/*
Get product count
*/
SELECT @CategoryProductCount=(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Products LEFT JOIN tblVar on Products.ProductID = tblVar.prodidvar WHERE Products.Category=@Category AND Products.Range=@Range)
/*set row variables*/
Declare @startRowIndex INT;
set @startRowIndex =(@PageIndex * @NumRows) + 1;
/* get full list of products */
With ProductEntries as (
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Products.ProductID, tblVar.idvar ASC) as Row, field1, field2
FROM Products LEFT JOIN tblVar on Products.ProductID=tblVar.prodidvar
WHERE Range=@Range
AND Category = @Category
)
/*get only needed rows */
SELECT field1, field2
FROM ProductEntries
WHERE Row Between
@startRowIndex and @startRowIndex+@NumRows-1
END
The problem seems to be with the line
AND Category = @ Category
in the query to make the ProductEntries
If I take this query and run it in an SQL pane I need to enclose the argument for @Category in single quotes.
If I try to do this in the procedure it simply searchs for @Category as a string rather than the value of @Category.
The query returns and displays results with no problems without this line, and also if it is returning a result set that has no values in tblVar to join to.
Also if I run the query on just the Products table removing the left join it will return results with no problems.
Thanks to anyone who can help!
And I apologise if it is something simple but asp and SQL Server is not my usual coding platform.
Hi,
My replication is failing to apply the initial snapshot because of the issue with QUOTED identifier. The snapshot files for the stored procedure are being generated using the 'SET QUOTED IDENTIFIER ON' where as my store procedure code is using the double quotes for string comparision e.g if @val = "test".
It is not possible for me to change the sps code as there are 1000+ sps exists. Is there any way to generate the snapshot files with 'SET QUOTED IDENTIFIER OFF'
I am attempting to import a flat file and have come accross and issue that I do not know how to fix in SSIS. The issue is that some of the text fields use quoted identifiers. This is not an issue in itself. The problem is they also use quotes as escape character if quotes are on the field.
So I see instances of "" because inside the quoted field is a quote. How do i specify an escape character?
I inherited a system that was started in Access and moved to SQL 2000. The business has grown and we are trying to replace our older systems with ASP.NET and Server 2005. Currently, we are trying to make a new asp.net page for searching the database for records with matching dates or date ranges. There are several types of dates to search, so they are all optional. Set to default as null in the proc. For each date there is an operator field, such as equal or greater, etc. The proc only looks at the date if the operator is set to EQ" or "IN" and ignores the date if operator set to "NO"
The proc works fine when running under Management Studio, but fails coming through a SQLDataSource to a gridview. It works with integer and string filters, but fails when entering the same date ('07/20/2007') that works in the testing tool. All dates are actually stored as datetime, and they are set as DateTime Control Parameters in the SQLDataSource.
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:someConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="spTESTSearch" SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:Parameter DefaultValue="M" Name="TypeCode" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter DefaultValue="EQ" Name="FirstPubOp" Type="String" />
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="FirstPubDateTextBox" DefaultValue="" Name="FirstPubDate"
PropertyName="Text" Type="DateTime" />
<asp:Parameter DefaultValue="C" Name="UserName" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter DefaultValue="NO" Name="SearchTextOp" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter Name="SearchText" Type="String" />
</SelectParameters></asp:SqlDataSource>
The dates are selected properly in the testing tool, with code such as :
DateDiff(day, FirstPubDate, @FirstPubDate) = 0
I think my problem is based on option settings for the databases themselves. The old database was set to Ansii Nulls and Quoted Identiers to OFF, and the new ones were defaulted to them being ON. I noticed that the tool also, sets those options on when creating new stored procedures.
Would this difference be causing the dates to be quoted and viewed as objects rather than strings? What are the dangers in changing those options on the database that still gets uploads from the old SQL 2000 database and some Mac-based systems?
I welcome any suggestions on how to get my new stuff running while not breaking my old production systems.
Thanks for the assist!
Hello all,
From what I've read, SQL Server is supposed to do a phrase match when you do a full text search that contains quoted literals. So, for example, if I did a full text search on the phrase "time out" and I put it in quotes, it's supposed to search for the full phrase "time out" and not just look for rows that contain the words "time" or "out." However, this isn't working for me.
Here is the query that I'm using :
SELECT *
FROM Content_Items ci
INNER JOIN FREETEXTTABLE(Content_Items, hed, '"time out"') AS ft ON ci.contentItemId = ft.[KEY]
ORDER BY ft.RANK DESC
What's it's doing is this : it's returning a bunch of rows that have the words "time" or "out" in the column called hed. It's also returning rows that have the full phrase "time out", but it's giving those rows the same rank as rows that only contain the word "time." In this case, that rank is 180.
Is there anything else I should be doing in my query, or is there some configuration option I should have turned on?
Thanks.
I need to extract specific text elements from a varchar column. There are three keywords in any given string: "wfTask," "wfStatus" and "displayReportFromWorkflow." "wfTask" and "wfStatus" can appear multiple times, but always as a pair and will each be followed by by "==" (with or without surrounding spaces). "displayReportFromWorkflow" is always followed by "(" and there can be spaces on either side. The text elements will be between a pair of double quotes, and following one of keywords. For each row, I need to return the task, status and report name.
declare @t table (rowID int, textValue varchar(1024))
insert @t
(rowID, textValue)
values
[Code] ....
Output:
rowID, Task, Status, ReportName
----- --------- ------- ------------------------
1, Issuance, Issued, General Permit
2, Issuance, Issued, Capacity Letter Type III
2, Review, Denied, Capacity Letter Type III
I started with a string splitter using the double quote character, referencing elements "i" and "i+1" where the text like '%wfTask%' or '%wfStatus%' or '%displayReportFromWorkflow%', but the case of multiple task/status in a row has confounded me so far.
Unfortunately, CLR is not an option.
I have existing table which is having Set Quoted Identifier Off and Set Ansi Null
Now I want to change those setting so Is there any alter statement for the same?
Also Let's say At my database level If those settings are off and If I convert it to ON then It is not taking effect on existing tables SP which are already build.
