Have an XML file that i load in to a Dataset. works fine, it builds its own scheme perfectly.
I loop through that data to load a check list which also works wonderfully.
two questions based on that.
1) can i add a column after the fact? I want to basically update the the info in the dataset to store if the record was checked in the check list. if not, i can manipulate one of the already defined columns, but i would rather not.
2) what is the best way to update data with in the dataset? Never really done anything but pull data from one. how do i locate the correct row to update ("select name from tbl where name = " + checklist.items[index].tostring(); update row)
sorry for the fairly basic question. i appreciate the help.

I was given a script that was supposed to take a name field that was separated by commas and normalize it into last, first and middle name. My data looks like below in one fieldname called longname
crab,mike,Allen
Lota Weilly,Eric,M
My script to do this looks like
update ailoca
set last_name = substring (longname, 1, patindex( '%,%' , longname) -1 ),
first_name = substring (longname, patindex( '%,%' , longname) + 1, patindex( '% %', longname)-patindex( '%,%' , longname)),
middle_name = substring (longname, patindex( '% %', longname) + 1, len(longname)-patindex( '%,%' , longname))
My problem is that some people actually have 2 last names, not hyphenated, but 2. Whenever I have 2 names I get the following error
Server: Msg 536, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function.
The statement has been terminated.
It seems to be related to the first name, I can comment out that update and it works
Thanks
Thanks

Hi, is there a way i can replace multiple white spaces & tabs into one , on a TEXT column ?
I am using replace function and trying to store the result into a varchar variable and the TEXT being truncated after 255 charecters.

I have two tables TableA and TableB as shown in the example below. I will have to Update TableA based on the data in TableB.
If a member in TableB has an EmployerId different from the one in TableA where the EffectiveDate in TableB between the EffectiveDate and ExpirationDate in TableA, then it should void the row in TableA and create rows as shown in the example below (Please refer to the 1st record and the last three records).
I would like to get some suggestions on how to do this efficiently. I am not looking for queries, but I need some ideas...
Thanks in advance.
TableA
MemberId EmployerId EffectiveDate ExpirationDate VoidIn
12345 111 1/1/2006 10/31/2006 0
12345 222 11/1/2006 5/31/2007 0
12345 333 6/1/2007 12/31/9999 0
TableB
MemberId EmployerId EffectiveDate
12345 444 4/1/2006
TargetTable (TableA Updated)
MemberId EmployerId EffectiveDate ExpirationDate VoidIn
12345 111 1/1/2006 10/31/2006 1
12345 222 11/1/2006 5/31/2007 0
12345 333 6/1/2007 12/31/9999 0
12345 111 1/1/2006 3/31/2006 0

Hello,
I have to perform some data manipulation based on ID1, ID2 with respect to Effective dates (below represented as effdt)
Source Code:
create table #source (id1 int, id2 int, effdt datetime)
insert into #source values (111, 123, '1/1/2007')
insert into #source values (111, 123, '3/1/2007')
insert into #source values (111, 123, '4/1/2007')
insert into #source values (111, 124, '5/1/2007')
insert into #source values (111, 125, '6/1/2007')
insert into #source values (111, 123, '7/1/2007')
Source Code Data:
ID1 ID2 Effdt
111 123 1/1/2007
111 123 3/1/2007
111 123 4/1/2007
111 124 5/1/2007
111 125 6/1/2007
111 123 7/1/2007
Target Data should look like:
ID1 ID2 Effdt Expdt
111 123 1/1/2007 4/30/2007
111 124 5/1/2007 5/31/2007
111 125 6/1/2007 6/30/2007
111 123 7/1/2007 7/31/2007
The logic is like the min(effdt) as effdt, min(effdt) - 1 as expdt of the next id2 from the source. Nut the problem comes when the same ID2 comes later after a different id2, so just a group by on id1, id2 does not suffice.
If it is the last record then the expdt is that month's end date.
Can someone throw me some light on what kind of logic I should be using to accomplish this.
Thanks in advance.

I need to to get the result of the function GETDATE and converted to a simpler "mm/dd/yyyy" format in order to compare the results to another date in a table. In ACCESS the function DATE returns the format of 'mm/dd/yyyy' since I need to work with date ranges without a need for this application 'HH:MM:SS'
I have try 'TRANSFORM(GETDATE,'mm/dd/yyyy') but I keep getting errors.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong? Any help is appreciated since I need to work in SQL Server 2000.

I have a web page called homepage.aspx created in Visual Studio 2005 using VB. It contains some hyperlinks on the left side. I have a database created in SQL Server 2005. I need to add, delete, edit, update data in the database directly from this same page. How can I achieve this?. i.e is it possible to, say, have a form on a section of this same web page that would allow me to directly manipulate/modify and update the database? (If you may give code, you may use abstract names for the database, tables and column and/or field names-I will understand). Many thanks in advance.

Given any date, how can I change that date to be one of the next 3 year cycle dates.
These are the fixed cycle dates (always on Sep 1 on those set years)
9/1/1997
9/1/2000
9/1/2003
etc.
For example,
if the supplied date was January 4, 1998, it would convert to September 1, 2000
October 31, 2000 -> September 1, 2000
Decemb 12, 2005 -> September 1, 2006
January 1, 1995 -> September 1, 1997
Thanx,

Does anyone know the best way to handle this type of situation?
A file coming into a directory based on the date filename042707
I use the fileexist stored procedure to check for the existence.
I use xp_cmdshell(sp)... stored procedure to rename the file so that
it just has filename instead of the date.... I can not use
variables within the xp_cmdshell to replace the date...
everyday the filename would change to filename042807,filename042907 etc....
Basically I know how to copy the file to another directory if it exists...
then I want to strip the right 8 characters off... rename just to that
but with the rename i have to know what the file will be named for that day ...
excuse the grammar just somewhat tired...
any suggestions... please thanks time for sleep

Hi everyone!
I recently found out that using ADO to connect to the SQL server without mentionning the data source; then, by sending a query with the following syntax: dbname.owner.tablename.columnname... an implicit connection to the data source (database) is performed automatically. This way of connecting allowed me to manipulate accross two or more databases thing that is necessary in my project.
My question is:
1- Do anyone have any bad experience and/or negative consequence to such connectivity (memory consumption, unexpected disconnection, ...)? Please consider a very high frequency of manipulation since we are dealing here with a 24/24 hour operational site.
2- Are there any alternative solutions for cross database manipulation (select, insert, update, delete)?
Thanks

I have the following data in a table;
Create Table #Table (Column1 Varchar(1000))
INSERT INTO #Table
Select 'Execute Procedure @param1 = 100, @param2 = 1000, @param3 = ''longtext'' '
UNION ALL
Select 'Execute Procedure @param1 = 10, @param2 = 1000, @param3 = ''longtext'' '
UNION ALL
Select 'Execute Procedure @param1 = 100000, @param2 = 1000, @param3 = ''longtext'' '
Select * from #Table
I want to get rid of @Param1 in every row of the table so my final results look like this.
Create Table #FinalTable (Column1 Varchar(1000))
INSERT INTO #FinalTable
Select 'Execute Procedure @param2 = 1000, @param3 = ''longtext'' '
UNION ALL
Select 'Execute Procedure @param2 = 1000, @param3 = ''longtext'' '
UNION ALL
Select 'Execute Procedure @param2 = 1000, @param3 = ''longtext'' '
Select * from #FinalTable
The tricky part is that the @param1 value length varies so a straight forward substring or replace function won't work.
