Hi all,
I made a migration operation and when I am looking inside database I can see the <BR> tags.
The question is how to write a query that replace all of this occurances of <BR> inside the colum table, with CLRF which is a new line code.
Thanks in advance.
HI
This probably sounds like a dumb question, but here goes!
I have a field in a database where I store a list of parameters for a report. These are seperated by hard crlf. IN SQL Server 2000 I could recall the paramters and in the results pane I could use CTRL and Enter go go onto the next line and add a new parameter. I recently upgraded to SQL 2005. Now in the management studion, when I recall the parameters, they all display on one line, seperated by a rectangle symbol. I need to add a new parameter, but using CTRL and enter does not work. Is there any way to do this through the results pane, or do I need to add parameters using a script?
Any help gratefully received
Thanks

I am exporting data via the "for xml auto,elements" clause.
The data is bcp:ed out to textfiles.
The recipients are now complaining that there are no line breaks between the tags.
i.e. they want it more "nicely formatted".
So my question is basically, is it possible to handle this request nicely from the server side?
I basically just do:
bcp "select blah,blah from tbl for xml auto,elements" queryout "D:..." -w -T -t -r
Any way to get line breaks???

I have a column in a data flow task which contains carriage return/line breaks. Is it possible to remove them with a derived column - or is there a better way to do this?
thanks in advance
I am building an expression and have poked all around on how to do a CRLF?
It is probably so easy that I am just missing something obvious.

Hi all,
I'm having a strange behavior here, or maybe I'm doing something wrong, I'm not sure.
Anyway, I have a csv file, the Flat File Connection Manager is configured like this:
Row delimiter: {CR}{LF}
Column delimiter: {;}
For some rows in my file the last two columns are empty and the there is no semicolon for these empty rows but these rows are still ended by a CRLF but SSIS does not consider the CRLF as the end of the row, it consider the first 2 columns of the next row as the last 2 columns of the current row.
Sample:
CSV file:
Col 1;Col 2;Col 3;Col 4;Col 5
AAAA;BBB;CCC;;
AAA1;BBB1;CCC1;;
AAA2;BBB2;CCC2
AAA3;BBB3;CCC3
Imported rows in SSIS:
Col 1 Col 2 Col 3 Col 4 Col 5
AAAA BBB CCC
AAA1 BBB1 CCC1
AAA2 BBB2 CCC2 AAA3 BBB3;CCC3
Any idea ?

I'm using DTS to import a text file (fixed field). In my sample data, I have 21 rows of data.
DTS only brings in 15 or so, because it fails to recognize the CRLF on some of the rows, and just treats it and the subsequent row as part of the previous row.
The text file is being produced via FTP from an IBM Iseries. It imports just fine into Notepad and Excel.
Anyone have any ideas why DTS would have trouble with this ?
Thanks

A SqlServer 2005 db has a table with an nvarchar(max) column containing text with paragraph format. When displayed in a Windows form textbox each paragraph exhibits CRLF. When the table is opened in Management Studio the paragraph text is separated with two boxes at each CRLF.
I would like to insert an additional CRLF (or whatever is required) so that when viewed in a textbox each paragraph has a blank line separating it from the next paragraph. Much easier to read!!!
Can this be done? If so, how? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Dear all,
I have to import data from flat file and I need to filter the data because there is always a Carriage Return Line Feed at end of the file. Currently I'm using Conditional Split task but I didn't know how to validate the CRLF character so I can separate it from valid data.
How to detect those CRLF using Conditional Split or do I have to use another task ?
Thanks in advance,

Hi everyone,
I have wriiten a query that works great in sql server but MS Access does not support EXCEPT. I have to rewrite this query using 'IN' or 'NOT IN' but can not figure it out because it must be compared on all fields. I'm sure this will require multiple subqueries because 'IN' must return only one field but I can not rap my brain around it. Could someone please help with this? Here is the 'EXCEPT' query I know works.

To ensure I don't leave orphans floating around in tables when records get deleted (values from one record might link to values in another) how do I find and possibly replace values in tables?For example, if I have a unit of measure table and want to delete the value "inches", how do I look in other tables to find this value and give the user the option to cancel or clear it out. If I don't it will cause controls bound to that value like the dropdownlist to throw an error.

Hi,
I have a table with a field called productname, and it has about 5000 rows, and within that about 1000 have a productname that has 'NIB' in the name, ie "My Product NIB DVD" and I have been asked to replace 'NIB' with 'New' ie "My Product New DVD" Can I do this in SQL using an Update statement? Or do I have build something in maybe asp.net to use a replace function to change the name.

Does anybody know how to search through all stored procedures (in SQL Server 2000) and find and replace text without having to open each one individually in Query Analyzer and doing so one at a time?
That would be so time consuming. I want to be able to change my table names, but I have so many stored procedures allready using the old names. To go and find each name and replacing them is a task I don't want to even try and do.
Thank you to whomever can help.

I am using MSDE. In this I have a field that contains a desciption. Prior to saving to the db, I replace all vbcrlf's to <br />'s. That works fine when displaying in HTML, but when I display it in a datagrid, I want to replace the <br />'s with vbcrlf's.
I thought I might be able to do it with a replace function in my SQL query, something like "Select ID, replace(Description, '<br />', vbcrlf) as Description". This produces an error that vbcrlf is not a fieldname. So I tried "select replace(Description, '<br />', 'xxx') as Description", and while this did not create an error, neither was the text replaced.
Am I not using the replace function correctly? Is there another way in which I might accomplish the task?
Dim ConnectionString As String = "server='(local)'; trusted_connection=true; database=dbname"

'Command text is greatly abreviated for this discussion.
