SQL Command Columns
Jan 31, 2006I entered an SQL Command into an OLEDB datasource and was able to preview the results but no columns were available for mapping. If anyone can tell me what I doing wrong I would much appreciate it.

No External Columns Available From SQL Command?
May 9, 2008Hello.
I have a OLE DB Data Source Component that uses an SQL command as the data access mode. On the Connection Manager "tab" of the OLE DB Source Editor I can sucessfully parse my query and produce a preview of the data.
However, when I go to the Columns tab I see no available external columns? Apart from the fact I'm using a union I can't think of any reason why I can't see any columns, it doesn't make sense.
Please Help.
Thanks
OLE DB Command Transform And Output Columns.
Jan 10, 2007Hi All,
I have an OLE DB transform with a SQL Command of:
sp_get_sponsor_parent ?,? OUTPUT
where sp_get_sponsor_parent is defined like:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_get_sponsor_parent]
@pEID int,
@results int OUTPUT
AS
BEGIN
.
.
.
END
I map the columns, refresh & OK out of the component without trouble, but on executing the package it fails during validation on this component. I'm utterly stumped.
Any light shed would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
Tamim.

Maximum Number Of Destination Columns In OLE DB Command??
Apr 29, 2008I'm using 2 OLE DB Commands; 1 to perform an insert the other an update. I have found that on the column mapping tab, I only have 10 parameters available to map to. The issue is I need 40 parameters. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting I am missing? Is there another way to do this? Am I out of luck .
Here is the sql query I am using, so you can see that I have the correct number of parameters listed:
Insert into Reqs_Data (G_COLLECTDATE, PROGRAM, PRODUCT_ID, TOTAL, ADDED, CHANGED, DELETED, NOT_ALLOCATED, NEWREQS, MODIFIED, LEGACY, UNCATEGORIZED, NOT_TRACED_DOWN, NOT_TRACED_UP, PASSED, PARTIALLY_PASSED, WAIVED, FAILED, NOT_VERIFIED, PLANNED_ADDED, RQTS_TOTAL_TBD_COUNT, RQTS_TOTAL_MODS_IN_MONTH, BUILD_ID, RTM_PRODUCT_ID, TRACED_UP, TRACED_DOWN, ALLOCATED, LASTMONTHTOTAL, CALC_ADD, CALC_DELETE, IS_TRACED_DOWN, IS_TRACED_UP, LEVEL3, LEVEL2, LEVEL1, LEVEL0, IPT1, IPT2, IPT3, IPT4 ) Values(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)
Update Reqs_Data SET TOTAL = ?, ADDED = ?, CHANGED = ?, DELETED = ?, NOT_ALLOCATED = ?, NEWREQS = ?, MODIFIED = ?, LEGACY = ?, UNCATEGORIZED = ?, NOT_TRACED_DOWN = ?, NOT_TRACED_UP = ?, PASSED = ?, PARTIALLY_PASSED = ?, WAIVED = ?, FAILED = ?, NOT_VERIFIED = ?, PLANNED_ADDED = ?, RQTS_TOTAL_TBD_COUNT = ?, RQTS_TOTAL_MODS_IN_MONTH = ?, BUILD_ID = ?, RTM_PRODUCT_ID = ?, TRACED_UP = ?, TRACED_DOWN = ?, ALLOCATED = ?, LASTMONTHTOTAL = ?, CALC_ADD = ?, CALC_DELETE = ?, IS_TRACED_DOWN = ?, IS_TRACED_UP = ?, LEVEL3 = ?, LEVEL2 = ?, LEVEL1 = ?, LEVEL0 = ?, IPT1 = ?, IPT2 = ?, IPT3 = ?, IPT4 = ?

INSERT INTO Command (two Columns) With One Fixed Value, One String With Several Values
Nov 7, 2006I have a string with values value1,value2, value3, value(n) which I would like to append to my table.
In the second column of my table I have a parameter which stays the same, so I end up with (if the parameter value is "123456")
Column 1 | Column 2
123456 | Value1
123456 | Value2
123456 | Value3
I would like to set up a single SQL statement which will process this regardless of the number of values (therefore rows) desired.
Something like:
INSERT INTO dbo_tblUserLevelApplicationRequests ( Column1, Column2) select EmployeeNumberParam as EmployeeNumber, ((stringofvalues) as valuestring)
Is it possible to do this with a single SQL statement?
RS2k Issue: PDF Exporting Report With Hidden Columns, Stretches Visible Columns And Misplaces Columns On Spanned Page
Dec 13, 2007Hello:
I am running into an issue with RS2k PDF export.
Case: Exporting Report to PDF/Printing/TIFF
Report: Contains 1 table with 19 Columns. 1 column is static, the other 18 are visible at the users descretion. Report when printed/exported to pdf spans 2 pages naturally, 16 on the first page, 3 on the second, and the column widths have been adjusted to provide a perfect page span .
User A elects to hide two of the columns, and show the rest. The report complies and the viewable version is perfect, the excel export is perfect.. the PDF export on the first page causes every fith column, starting with the last column that was hidden to be expanded to take up additional width. On the spanned page, it renders the first column on that page correctly, then there is a white space gap equal to the width of the hidden columns and then the rest of the cells show with the last column expanded to take up the same width that the original 2 columns were going to take up, plus its width.
We have tried several different settings to see if it helps this issue or makes it worse. So far cangrow/canshrink/keep together have made no impact. It is not possible to increase the page size due to limited page size selection availablility for the client. There are far too many combinations of what the user can elect to show or hide to put together different tables to show and hide on the same report to remove this effect.
Any help or suggestion on this issue would be appreciated

Transact SQL :: Select And Parse Json Data From 2 Columns Into Multiple Columns In A Table?
Apr 29, 2015I have a business need to create a report by query data from a MS SQL 2008 database and display the result to the users on a web page. The report initially has 6 columns of data and 2 out of 6 have JSON data so the users request to have those 2 JSON columns parse into 15 additional columns (first JSON column has 8 key/value pairs and the second JSON column has 7 key/value pairs). Here what I have done so far:
I found a table value function (fnSplitJson2) from this link [URL]. Using this function I can parse a column of JSON data into a table. So when I use the function above against the first column (with JSON data) in my query (with CROSS APPLY) I got the right data back the but I got 8 additional rows of each of the row in my table. The reason for this side effect is because the function returned a table of 8 row (8 key/value pairs) for each json string data that it parsed.
1. First question: How do I modify my current query (see below) so that for each row in my table i got back one row with 19 columns.
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B
If updated my query (see below)Â and call the function twice within the CROSS APPLY clause I got this error: "The multi-part identifier "A.ITEM6" could be be bound.
2. My second question: How to i get around this error?
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*, C.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B, Â fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM6,NULL) C
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 version. Windows 7 desktop.

SQL Server 2014 :: Creating A Table With Updatable Columns And Read-only Columns
May 26, 2015Here is My requirement, I'm not sure if this is possible. Creating table called master like col1, col2 col3, col4 , col5 ...Where Col1, col2 are updatable - this can be done easily
Col3, col4 are columns in another table but these can be just a read only ?? Is this possible ? this is possible with View but not friendly with share point CRUD...Col 5 is a computed column of col 2 and col5 ? if above step can be done then sure this can be done I guess.

Can I do that??
Any reply showing me the right way is appricited.

How Dose It Matter For The Non-clustered Index Key Columns And Included Columns?
Apr 24, 2007Hi, all experts here,
Thanks a lot for your kind attention.
As I am creating the non-clustered indexes for the tables, I dont quite understand how dose it really matter to put the columns in the index key columns or put them into the included columns of the index?
I am really confused about that and I am looking forward to hearing from you and thank you very much again for your advices and help.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
A Word About Meta-data, Pass Through Columns And Derived Columns
Oct 13, 2006Here's another one of my bitchfest about stuff which annoy the *** out of me in SSIS (and no such problems in DTS):
Do you ever wonder how easy it was to set up text file to db transform in DTS - I had no problems at all. In SSIS - 1 spent half a day trying to figure out how to get proper column data types for text file - OF Course MS was brilliant enough to add "Suggest Types" feature to text file connection manager - BUT guess what - it sample ONLY 1000 rows - so I tried to change that number to 50000 and clicked ok - BUT ms changed it to 1000 without me noticing it - SO NO WONDER later on some of datatypes did not match. And boy what a fun it is to change the source columns after you have created a few transforms.
This s**hit just breaks... So a word about Derived Columns - pretty useful feature heh? ITs not f***ing useful if it DELETES SOME of the Code itself after there have been changes in dataflow. I cant say how pissed off im about that SSIS went ahead and deleted columns from flow & messed up derived columns just because the lineageIDs dont match.
Meta-data - it would be useful if you could change it and refresh it - im just sick and tired of it that it shows warnings and errors when there's nothing wrong - so after a change i need to doubleclick all my transforms so that those red & yellow boxes would disappear.
Oh and y I passionately dislike Derived columns - so you create new fields based on some data - you do some stuff - combine multiple columns to one, but you have no way saying remove the columns from the pipeline. Y you need it - well if you have 50K + rows with 30+ columns then its EXTRA useless memory overhead for your package.
Hopefully one day I will understand how SSIS works (not an ez task I say) - I might be able to spend more time on development and less time on my bitchfest - UNTIL then --> Another Day - Another Hassle with SSIS

Identity Columns And Date Columns On Transactional Replication
Sep 16, 2006Hi,
I am planning to use transacational replication (instead of merge replication) on my SQL server 2000. My application is already live and is being used by real users.
How can I ensure that replicated data on different server would have exact same values of identity columns and date columns (where every I set default date to getdate())?
It is very important for me to have a mirror image of data (without using clustering servers).
Any help would be appreciated.

I keep facing different issues whether I try and use Coalesce, IsNull, Sum, count, anything. My query never returns anything but 0 or NULL regardless of if I am trying to build a CTE or just use a query.
So I'm using Col A to get the TOP 20 in order (which is fine) but also trying to add together the sums of Col A + Col B + Col C for each of the twenty rows...
Calculated Columns Based On Multiple Columns?

I have the following effectively random numbers in a table:
n1,n2,n3,n4,SCORE
1,2,5,9,i
5,20,22,25,i
6,10,12,20,i
I'd like to generate the calculated column SCORE based on various scenarios in the other columns. eg.
if n1<10 and n2<10 then i=i + 1
if n4-n3=1 then i=i + 1
if more than 2 consecutive numbers then i=i + 1
So, I need to build the score. I've tried the procedure below and it works as a pass or fail but is too limiting. I'd like something that increments the variable @test1.
declare @test1 int
set @test1=0
select top 10 n1,n2,n3,n4,n5,n6,
case when (
n1=2 and

Aug 13, 2007I have a scenario that reminds me of a pivot table and I am wondering if there is a way to handle this in SQL.
I have four tables. Product Line, Item, Property, and Value.
A Product Line has many items and an item can have many property's and a property can have many values.
I want to select a product line and show all the items with the Property's as column headers and the Values as the data. The thing I am having trouble with is the property's for an item are variable from a few to a whole bunch.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Identity Columns And XML Columns - OK With Mirroring ?
Feb 13, 2006Just to confirm, do identity columns and XML columns work OK with database mirroring ? That is, all data types are supported with mirroring, and identities aren't an issue ?
Transactional replication with identity columns was a right pain in the **** in SQL 2000. I'm assuming that mirroring doesn't have these issues, but want to be sure.

External Columns Vs. Output Columns?
May 23, 2006Can someone please explain the difference between Output and External columns? I can't fathom why "Output" columns aren't good enough. In other words, what is there a need or value in having two types of "output" columns?
TIA,

SQL 2012 :: Split Data From Two Columns In One Table Into Multiple Columns Of Result Table
Jul 22, 2015So I have been trying to get mySQL query to work for a large database that I have. I have (lets say) two tables Table_One and Table_Two. Table_One has three columns: Type, Animal and TestID and Table_Two has 2 columns Test_Name and Test_ID. Example with values is below:
**TABLE_ONE**
Type Animal TestID
-----------------------------------------
Mammal Goat 1
Fish Cod 1
Bird Chicken 1
Reptile Snake 1
Bird Crow 2
Mammal Cow 2
Bird Ostrich 3
**Table_Two**
Test_name TestID
-------------------------
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_2 2
Test_2 2
Test_3 3
In Table_One all types come under one column and the values of all Types (Mammal, Fish, Bird, Reptile) come under another column (Animals). Table_One and Two can be linked by Test_ID
I am trying to create a table such as shown below:
Test_Name Bird Reptile Mammal Fish
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Test_1 Chicken Snake Goat Cod
Test_2 Crow Cow
Test_3 Ostrich
This should be my final table. The approach I am currently using is to make multiple instances of Table_One and using joins to form this final table. So the column Bird, Reptile, Mammal and Fish all come from a different copy of Table_one.
For e.g
Select
Test_Name AS 'Test_Name',
Table_Bird.Animal AS 'Birds',
Table_Mammal.Animal AS 'Mammal',
Table_Reptile.Animal AS 'Reptile,
Table_Fish.Animal AS 'Fish'
From Table_One
[Code] .....
The problem with this query is it only works when all entries for Birds, Mammals, Reptiles and Fish have some value. If one field is empty as for Test_Two or Test_Three, it doesn't return that record. I used Or instead of And in the WHERE clause but that didn't work as well.
SQL 2012 :: Calculated Columns Conditional On Calculated Columns Multiple Tables
Apr 20, 2014I have 4 tables involved here. The priority table is TABLE1:
NAMEID TRANDATE TRANAMT RMPROPID TOTBAL
000001235 04/14/2014 335 A0A00 605
000001234 04/14/2014 243 A0A01 243
000001236 04/14/2014 425 A0A02 500
TRANAMT being the amount paid & TOTBAL being the balance due per the NAMEID & RMPROPID specified.The other table includes a breakdown of the total balance, in a manner of speaking, by charge code (thru a SUM(OPENAMT) query of DISTINCT CHGCODE
TABLE2
NAMEID TRANDATE TRANAMT RMPROPID CHGCODE OPENAMT
000001234 04/01/2014 400 A0A01 ARC 0
000001234 04/05/2014 -142 A0A01 ARC 228
000001234 04/10/2014 15 A0A01 ALT 15
[code]...
Also with a remaining balance (per CHGCODE) column. Any alternative solution that would effectively split the TABLE1.TRANAMT up into the respective TABLE2.CHGCODE balances? Either way, I can't figure out how to word the queries.
Adding Columns To A Matrix Report That Don't Belong To The Matrix Columns Groups
Jan 2, 2007Can we do this?
Adding more columns in a matrix report that don€™t
belong to the columns drilldown dimensions€¦
That is, for example, having the following report:
Product Family
Product
Country City Number of units sold
Then I
would add some ratios, that is, Units Sold/Months (sold per month) and other that
is the average for Product Family (Units Sold/Number of Product Family), for putting an example€¦ some
columns should be precalculated prior to the report so do not get into it, the
real problem I don€™t see how to solve is adding one or two columns for showing
these calculated column that doesn€™t depend on the column groups but they do
for the rows groups€¦
Any guidance
on that?
The only
way I am seeing by now is to set it as two different reports, and that is not
what my client wants€¦
Many
thanks,
Jose
Dumping Rows Of 2 Columns Of A Table To A Different Table With Different No Of Columns
Sep 19, 2007
Hi,
I have two tables
Table Source
{
category varchar(20),
LastUpdate datetime
}
Table Destination
{
SubjectId varchar(20),
SubjectDate datetime,
category varchar(20),
LastUpdate datetime
}
Please note that the number columns are different in each table.
I wanted to dump the data of Source table to Destination table. I meant to say that the rows of 2 columns in Source table to last 2 rows of Destination table.
And also my oreder of the columns in Destination table will vary. So i need to a way to dynamically insert the data in bulk. but i will know the column names for sure before inserting.
Is there anyway to bulk insert into these columns.
Your quick response will be appreciated

Problem Restoring Database With Encrypted Columns To Different Database Or Server With Encrypted Columns.
Jan 23, 2006I need to start encrypting several fields in a database and have been doing some testing with a test database first. I've run into problems when attempting to restore the database on either the same server (but different database) or to a separate server.
First, here's how i created the symmetric key and encrypted data in the original database:
create master key
encryption by password = 'testAppleA3';
create certificate test
with subject = 'test certificate',
EXPIRY_DATE = '1/1/2010';
create symmetric key sk_Test
with algorithm = triple_des
encryption by certificate test;
open symmetric key sk_Test decryption by certificate test;
insert into employees values (101,'Jane Doe',encryptbykey(key_guid('sk_Test'),'$200000'));
insert into employees values(102,'Bob Jones',encryptbykey(key_guid('sk_Test'),'$500000'));
select * from employees
--delete from employees
select id,name,cast(decryptbykey(salary) as varchar(10)) as salary from employees
close all symmetric keys
Next I backup up this test database and restore it to a new database on a different server (same issue if restore to different database but on same server).
Then if i attempt to open the key in the new database and decrypt:
open symmetric key sk_Test decryption by certificate test;
I get the error: An error occurred during decryption.
Ok, well not unexpected, so reading the forums, i try doing the below first in the new database:
ALTER MASTER KEY ADD ENCRYPTION BY SERVICE MASTER KEY
Then I try opening the key again and get the error again:
An error occurred during decryption.
So then it occurs to me, maybe i need to drop and recreate it so i do
drop symmetric key sk_test
then
create symmetric key sk_Test
with algorithm = triple_des
encryption by certificate test;
and then try to open it.
Same error!
So then i decide, let's drop everything, the master key, the certificate and then symmetric key:
drop symmetric key sk_test
drop certificate test
drop master key
Then recreate the master key:
create master key
encryption by password = 'testAppleA3';
Restore the certificate from a backup i had made to a file:
CREATE CERTIFICATE test
FROM FILE = 'c:storedcertsencryptiontestcert'
Recreate the symmetric key again:
create symmetric key sk_Test
with algorithm = triple_des
encryption by certificate test;
And now open the key only to get the error:
Cannot decrypt or encrypt using the specified certificate, either because it has no private key or because the password provided for the private key is incorrect.
So what am I doing wrong here? In this scenario I would appear to have lost all access to decrypt the data in the database despite restoring from a backup which restored the symmetric key and certificate and i obviously know the password for the master key.
I also tried running the command
ALTER MASTER KEY ADD ENCRYPTION BY SERVICE MASTER KEY
again but this does not resolve the issue.
Thx.
