HTML, I'd like strip the HTML and insert the data in another Text
field within a DTS package. Is this possible?
any suggestions would be appreciated

I've got an nvarchar(max) column that I need to transform with some simple text processing: insert some markup at the very beginning, and insert some markup just before a particular regular expression is matched (or at the end, if no match is found).
Since the SSIS expression language doesn't support anything like this, is a Script Component the only way to go? Does Visual Basic .NET provide regular expression matching?
Thanks!
Hi Guys,
I have a script task that is supposed to read and parse a fixed width source file.
Basically, I want to make the FieldWidths dynamic so that I'll be able to reuse this package with different files. So Instead of hardcoding the field widths directly into my script task, I want it to be stored somewhere that the package can get when executions starts. Is there a way of doing this?
The code looks like this:
Using Reader As New TextFieldParser(mTempFilePAth)
Reader.TextFieldType = FieldType.FixedWidth
Reader.SetFieldWidths(1, 8, 8, 8, 4, 8) <-- I want to change this to handle dynamic widths.
i am unable to use the Text Qualifer in SSIS package Flat file connection manager Editor, it says, "The flat file parser does not support embedding text qualifier in data",why is that?
it was supported nicely in DTS 2000. also I have no control on Source file TXT. so I can not eliminate the Text qualifer (") from the file.
any advices.
I'm new to SQL and I'm trying to write a statement to satisfy the following:
If [Field1] contains text from [Field2] then return [Field3] as [Field4].
I had two tables where there were no matching keys. I did a cross apply and am now trying to parse out the description to build the key.
Hi,
Im a programmer for an university webportal which uses php and msssql.
When an user creates a new entry and his text is too long the entry is cut short and weird characters appear at the end of the entry.
For example:
http://www.ttz.uni-magdeburg.de/scripts/test-messedb/php/index.php?option=show_presse&funktion=presse_show_mitteilung&id=333
How can I set the text limit to unlimited?
Could it be something else?
Is there a way of splitting an entry to several text fields automatically?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me,
Chris
In SQL 2005 if i was trying to insert some data with a text qualifier inside a text qualified field, it would work, for example:
"Name","ID ","Location","","Comany",""House Name" Road",
In SQL 2012, this fails with the error message, cannot find the text qualifer for field.
To get around this, we are having to import the data into a Dirty Data column of aTEMP table, ID, Dirty Data, Clean data - perform multiple updates and change the text qualifier and ensure they are only changed in the right places so we can keep the ". In this example, we changed the text qualifier to PIPES.
After these updates, we then export the data from CLEAN data back out to CSV, then reimport it into the origional destination table with a new text qualifer.
I have a column in a table that has a type TEXT,when I pull the length of a row it returns 88222 but when I select from that column it dows not show all the text in the result set.

I'm importing an Access database to SQL Server 2000.
The issue I ran into is pretty frustrating... All Memo fields that get copied over (as Text fields) appear to be fine and visible in SQL Server Enterprise Manager... except when I display them on the web via ASP - everything is blank (no content at all).
I didn't have that problem with Access, so I ruled out the possibility that there's something wrong with the original data.
Is this some sort of an encoding problem that arose during database import?
I would appreciate any pointers.
I am trying to populate a field in a SQL table based on the valuesreturned from using substring on a text field.Example:Field Name = RecNumField Value = 024071023The 7th and 8th character of this number is the year. I am able toget those digits by saying substring(recnum,7,2) and I get '02'. Nowwhat I need to do is determine if this is >= 50 then concatenate a'19' to the front of it or if it is less that '50' concatenate a '20'.This particular example should return '2002'. Then I want to take theresult of this and populate a field called TaxYear.Any help would be greatly apprecaietd.Mark
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi all,
i've a reasonable amount of experience with MS Access and less
experience with SQL Server. I've just written an .NET application that
uses an SQL Server database. I need to collate lots of data from around
the company in the simplest way, that can then be loaded into the SQL
Server database.
I decided to collect the info in Excel because that's what most people
know best and is the quickest to use. The idea being i could just copy
and paste the records directly into the SQL Server database table (in
the same format) using the SQL Server Management Studio, for
example.
Trouble is, i have a problem with line feed characters. If an Excel
cell contains a chunk of text with line breaks (Chr(10) or Chr(13))
then the copy'n'paste doesn't work - only the text up to the first line
break is pasted into the SQL Server database cell. The rest is not
pasted for some reason.
I've tried with MS Access too, copying and pasting the contents of a
memo field into SQL Server database, but with exactly the same problem.
I've tried with 'text' or 'varchar' SQL Server database field formats.
Since i've no experience of using different types of databases
interacting together, can someone suggest the simplest way of
transferring the data without getting this problem with the line feeds?
I don't want to spend hours writing scripts/programs when it's just
this linefeed problem that is preventing the whole lot just being
cut'n'pasted in 5 seconds!
cheers

Hi,
Can anyone point me any solution how to export a MEMO field from an Access database to a TEXT field from an MS SQL Server 2000. The import export tool from SQL server doesn't import these fields if they are very large - around 9000 characters.
Thanks.
Hi,I been reading various web pages trying to figure out how I can extract some simple information from the XML below, but at present I cannot understand it.
I have a MS SQL 2005 database with which contains a field of type text (external database so field type cannot be changed to XML)The text field in the database is similar to the one below but I have simplified it by remove many of the unneeded tags in the <before> and <after> blocks. I also reformatted it to show the structure (original had no spaces or returns)
For each text field in the SQL table contain the XML I need to know the OldVal and the NewVal.
<ProductMergeAudit> <before> <table name="table1" description="Test Desc"> <product id="OldVal"> </table> </before> <after> <table name="table1" description="Test Desc"> <product id="NewVal"> </table> </after></ProductMergeAudit>
Hi,
I am very new to using SQL. Our department usually uses Brio to query the various databases under our control. However, I have recently come against a problem that prompted me to create a custom SQL query which works well as far as it goes. My problem is looking for specific conditions in billing information I receive monthly. I would like to compare on of the date fields contained in the database with a field in the form of YYYYMM (200710, for October 2007) I have created a custom column generator that forms a date from the YYYYMM. I would like, however, do the translation on the fly and make the comparison during the query. The problem is that query without the date check returns a mass of data, only about 1 percent of which is what I want.
The beginning of the SQL query looks like this:
FROM From.T_Crs_Tran_Dtl WHERE T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Crs_Bill_Yr_Mo IN ('200710', '200711', '200712') AND ((T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Crs_Cde IN ('1G', '1V') AND (T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Dptr_Dte < LastDay(ToDate(Substr ( Crs_Bill_Yr_Mo, 5, 2 )& "/1/"&Substr ( Crs_Bill_Yr_Mo, 1, 4 )))) AND (T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Prev_Stats_Cde IN (' ', 'TK', 'TL') AND T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Cur_Stats_Cde IN ('TK', 'TL') AND T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Std_Tran_Typ_Cde='B') OR (T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Prev_Stats_Cde='UN' AND T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Cur_Stats_Cde='XX' AND
It is the (T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Dptr_Dte < LastDay(ToDate(Substr ( Crs_Bill_Yr_Mo, 5, 2 )& "/1/"&Substr ( Crs_Bill_Yr_Mo, 1, 4 )))) AND? part of the query that is just plain wrong. The business part of this statement takes the YYYYMM field and turns it into a date which is the last day of YYYYMM.
I hope someone out there can help me with making this comparison.
I appreciate your help.

Hi everyone,
I'm extremely new to SQL so be nice
I am attempting to write a script to add onto the end of a text field the words " -- Disposed " (About 60 rows worth).
The field is a TEXT field, so unlike a varchar field I can't just use Update as shown below.
Code:
Update AR_Primary_asset
Set AR_Primary_asset.description = AR_Primary_asset.description + ' -- Disposed'
Where AR_Primary_Asset.ASSET_REF in ('1','2','4')
I found on the Mircosoft pages about UPDATETEXT, but this only seem to work to update one row (In the case below Asset_ref = 3, was the only row effected) .
Code:
DECLARE @Dispose binary(16)
SELECT @Dispose = TEXTPTR(DESCRIPTION)
FROM AR_PRIMARY_ASSET
WHERE AR_Primary_Asset.ASSET_REF in ('1','2','3')
UPDATETEXT AR_PRIMARY_ASSET.DESCRIPTION @ptrval null null ' -- Disposed'
So i wrapped it into a cursor, this worked on my test SQL server which runs SQL2005.
Code:
DECLARE @Dispose varbinary(16)
DECLARE cursor1 CURSOR FOR
SELECT TEXTPTR(DESCRIPTION)
FROM AR_Primary_Asset
Where AR_Primary_Asset.ASSET_REF in('1','2','3')
OPEN cursor1
FETCH NEXT FROM cursor1
INTO @Dispose
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
UPDATETEXT AR_Primary_Asset.DESCRIPTION @Dispose NULL NULL ' -- Disposed'
FETCH NEXT FROM cursor1
INTO @Dispose
END
CLOSE cursor1
DEALLOCATE cursor1
But when it was run on our SQL2000 server it gave the following error message
Quote: Msg 403, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid operator for data type. Operator equals add, type equals text.
I've never used vars, cursors, updatetext or even text fields before. So maybe I am going about it totally the wrong way.
Is anyone able to tell me a better way to write this? or how to make it compatible to SQL2000?
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[instructions](
[site_no] [int] NOT NULL,
[instructions] [text] NULL
)
Select top 3 * from instructions
Output
Site_noInstructions
20Request PIN then proceed
21Request PIN if wrong request name
22Request PIN allowed to use only numbers
All text instructions start with “Request PIN” but after that the text are different for every site_no
I need insert in all site_no rows and after the “Request PIN” the text “and codeword” keeping the current rest of text
Desired output
Site_noInstructions
20Request PIN and codeword then proceed
21Request PIN and codeword if wrong request name
22Request PIN and codeword allowed to use only numbers
I want to write a query which does something like 'get sales data in 2006 for products with names starting with "bond" '. My problem is writing mdx which can filter products names which contain certain word in a certain format and also output the matched product name.
In MDX, is it possible to filter dimension members using regex? If regex support is not available, is there sql 'like' operator in mdx.
Thanks,

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my regex plz:
Code:
Like "[A-Z][A-Z][0-9][0-9][0-9][A-Z][A-Z]" Or " [A-Z][A-Z][0-9][0-9][A-Z][A-Z]"
The Or condition seems to bust the whole thing, I tried And too but no go.
This works though:
Code:
Like "[A-Z][A-Z][0-9][0-9][0-9][A-Z][A-Z]"
Anyone find any good readings on how to do a regular expression to replace text?
Basically trying to figure out how to replace text in columns (replace quotes " with the word inches. so 12" will be 12 inches)
hello people,
I have a table with some field named 'f1', the filed contains string like this:
1:3-12/23.2:3-23/12.78:4-12/11
and so on with the same format...
I need to write some sql query that extracts all the first one or two numbers that appears before the ':' (all the red numbers in the example above). I don't mind if I get the result as a set of rows or a string that contains all the (red) numbers.
is it possible with mssql?
thanks.
I have a field in my table that in my transformation I like to replace all characters except (letters,digits,space and hyphen) with "". Is it possible to do that in SSIS package and possibly though regex?
Thanks for your time in advance.
Application is ocr'ing tiff image files and then storing the resultant text data in a text field in SQL 2005 database. This field is then used with the full text catalog.
All works fine,
However, am I using the correct field type to store the text files for efficiency and space saving?
If I use a binary field, does this reduce the size of the database by compressing the text data in the binary field? Also, is there a limit as to the size of text file that I could store in a binary field?
It would be good to get feedback on this before I go too far down the wrong road.
So, text field to store the text data or binary field to store the actual text file?
This is a long shot but I'm hoping someone from the SSIS team can help.
Do you happen to have a regular expression that checks validity of the value supplied to the /ConsoleLog option of dtexec?
I suspect the answer is no but I thought I'd ask anyway. I figure you guys must have had to solve this at some point when you originally wrote dtexec.
Thanls

While working on a recent project, I needed to import a number of old mainframe generated text reports. Since they didn't work on the one-record/one-row construct, the Flat File Source won't work.
So, I created a custom component that allows you to specify a Regular Expression pattern, and it will parse a text file and return columns. Each capture in the RegEx pattern is returned as a column, and you can also specify column names in the regex with the standard (?<colname>) syntax. The code is fairly basic really, but if you are comfortable with regular expression syntax, it can handle a huge variety of unusual text file formats. It also includes a UI editor for the RegEx pattern property that will allow you to test the pattern against a sample text file; it will highlight each row in blue and each column in green (see screenshot)
Since this might have applications for other folks, I added it to SourceForge under GPL. So if you might find that functionality useful, please check out http://sourceforge.net/projects/textregexsource/ and send me some feedback. There isn't much there yet, so check out the screenshots/news/release notes for the basics.
If there is demand, I'll create a more robust install package and documentation. Also looking for feature suggestions.
Cheers...Geof
Hi,
I have the following query I am bulding, its returning the desired results I am just really bad at control statements in TSQL.
What I want to do is dynamically pass the "and landingPage like '/products%' to the SPROC. If I pass nothing this part of the query is not added.
Also, I am wondering how difficult it would be to pass some RegEx into the "landingpage like '%asdf' " part of the query ?
I have started reading some articles but it seems pretty complicated. I am running sql2005 so I am clear on that part.
Any help is much appreicated!!
Thanks again,

I'm getting an error in a Execute SQL command task that returns XML. The error is: An invalid character was found in text content. I traced the error to this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/238833
My question is how would I go about changing the encoding scheme? I've been able to run this package successfully on our dev SSIS box, but it's failing in prod. I suspect because the encoding schemes are different. Where do I go to verify this? How would I change it?
Thanks,
