Thank You, You are the first person, that has given me a clear answer. I am going to explain in plain English What this SP is suppose to do.
I have to find any station_nbr that has more than one group_code and that the current date = (DATEADD(mm,DATEDIFF(mm,0,dateadd(mm,-0-datepart(day,0),getdate())),0) The current date starts with the first day of the previous month.
Example today is October 10, 2007 I need September 01, 2007 for this query.
To insert the record it needs to be active meaning that the current date is in between Beg_eff_date and end_eff_date, and the end_eff_date is = ‘12/31/3000’
I need to write SP(cursor) that reads line by line this table and that insert the answer: INSERT INTO #TP_TIES_OVerlaping_Dates.
The above explanation is for the first type of Error.
The second Type of Error:
If the Group Code ends with "W" and the End_effective_date = '12/31/3000' and the W_Beg_date is Part of the Temp Table(I to create the W_Beg_Date Column) -- is GREATER than the End_eff_date. I want to Insert this Record into the Table. I need to set sometype of Record Control to make the different between one error to another one.
I thank you so much for your help.....I hope this is clear to understand for everybody.
Hello. I am really new to sql server. I have a db in the server that I use for testing. i want to export it in plain sql so as to import it in another db system. How can I do it?
Greetings all. I am currently working to improve the security on a legacy application we have at my company. The app was written in vb6 years ago. We now have the app running against a sql 2005 server. One of the function/screens in the application is used to administrate users. (each user has a sql user id) and one of the functions is to reset the password. The vb code uses a call to sp_password. Here is the problem. We setup a network sniffer and found the command being in plain text. While the user logon is encrypted ( SSL Fallback) the sp_password commands issued by the app are plan text. Anyone know of a way to make this encrypted? Leif
I have a SQL Server 2000 table with a few fields of "text" data typethat contain rich text. I have to downstream this data and therecipient cannot handle rich text. I need to figure out a way toconvert it back to plain text. Any suggetions?TIA
How can I set the default body_format in database mail. I would like to send a warning with plain text format (from the alerts), that i'll get on my mobile phone, but the message's format is html... always...and I don't get the sms-s.
sorry to raise this again here. I have seen a lot of posts on this board about plain text rendering but never really a satisfactory answer. So my question is: Has anyone succeeded in developing a custom rendering extension which is able to render a report as plain text?
I am a Technical Lead in a project to convert and migrate reporting from Unix/C to Reporting Services 2005. One requirement is, to render the reports in plain text for archiving purposes. I know that there are a million options out there to archive in PDF and whatever. Well, we need plain text. No way around it! It is a governmental requirement!
I am about to pull the plug on SSRS 2005 just because we are not able to fulfill this requirement. And we are talking about a big project converting >700 reports!
Challenges we are facing:
Reporting components are rendered as they appear in a compnent list, one after each other. If you now have two multiline components side by side, i.e. two lists, the first list component in the array gets rendered and then the other. This makes it almost impossible to render the lines in those two components side by side. In the sample below, the Report Header would be rendered, then the Address block, then the Other Data block, then the Order History Table and then the Account Statement table.
Positioning of text boxes is almost impossible. We are able to find out how many centimeters/inches/millimeters/points a control is located from the left border. But how can we translate this into i.e. how many spaces will we need to add for padding?
The column width can't be determined. SSRS adds a line break if the cell text is longer than the column width.
We have reports which look something like this:
Code Block
Code Block
REPORT NAME
MANAGER NAME
ACCOUNT REPORT DATE
First Name: XXXXXXXXXXXX Other Data: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX Last Name: XXXXXXXXXXXX More Data: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX Address: XXXXXXXXXXXX More Data: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX City: XXXXXXXXXXXX
I also got some advice that SSRS is probably the wrong tool. And I also read this in some of the "Plain Text" posts here. And I am actually surprised about this. People suggest to look for some other tool and not use i.e. email subscrptions, other rendering formats, SSRS security model, snapshot history, report models and all the other goodies only because we can't render in simple text?
If anyone has any information to share, I would very much appreciate it. We also looked at third party tools and plug ins but couldn't find any! If anyone knows of a company who would be able to help us, let me know!
I really would love to pull this project off with SSRS 2005 because I Iike the technology and SSRS provides a lot of functionality we want to leverage. I believe SSRS is the right tool for us and it covers 95% of our business requirements! But at this stage it doesn't look very rosy! Because of the Plain Text rendering!
I'm quit new into SQL - have a problem - and hope someone here ca n help me.
I have a table TABLE1 with different fields. A part of it looks like this:
FIELD1 FIELD2 FIELD3
111111 121212 0
111111 121212 91
222222 232323 0
222222 232323 73
etc. etc.
I want to "copy"/write over '0' in FIELD3 with the number in FIELD3 from the line that has the same numbers (and unique for these two lines) in FIELD1 and FIELD2. The table will then look like this:
FIELD1 FIELD2 FIELD3
111111 121212 91
111111 121212 91
222222 232323 73
222222 232323 73
I can make a temporary table or a new field if necessary. I just don't know how to write the right SQL.
I got a qry that takes 10s. This is off course too long. As I described in my earlier posts, I'm no sql hero, but I'm on a neverending quest to improve. Currently I need a select statement over several (7) tables and return fields from almost all of them. Furthermore I have optional restrictions on fields spread over all those tables, based on a set of parameters. What I initially do is inner join all my tables and then have a big where clause that adds where-rules depending on the arguments given.
Like so: select c.clr_id, n.clr_nm, co.long_nm, p.paint_cd, a.appl_desc, m.modl_nm, y.yr_num from CLR c inner join paint_cd p on c.clr_id = p.clr_id inner join clr_use_yr y on y.clr_id = c.clr_id inner join co on co.co_id = c.co_id inner join modl m on y.modl_id = m.modl_id inner join clr_appl ca on c.clr_id = ca.clr_id inner join appl a on ca.appl_cd = a.appl_cd inner join clr_nm n on c.clr_id = n.clr_id WHERE (CASE @regn when '' THEN '' ELSE n.regn_cd END) like (CASE @regn when '' THEN '' ELSE @regn END) AND (CASE @co when '' THEN '' ELSE co.long_nm END) like (CASE @co when '' THEN '' ELSE @co END) AND (CASE @clrNm when '' THEN '' ELSE n.clr_nm END) like (CASE @clrNm when '' THEN '' ELSE @clrNm END) AND (CASE @paintCd when '' THEN '' ELSE p.paint_cd END) like (CASE @paintCd when '' THEN '' ELSE @paintCd END) AND (CASE @applDc when '' THEN '' ELSE a.appl_desc END) like (CASE @applDc when '' THEN '' ELSE @applDc END) AND (CASE @useYear when '' THEN '' ELSE cast(y.yr_num as varchar(4)) end) like (CASE @useYear when '' THEN '' else @useYear END) AND (CASE @modlNm when '' THEN '' ELSE m.modl_Nm END) like (CASE @modlNm when '' THEN '' ELSE @modlNm END)
It appeared to me that by getting those where clauses in the join, I would limit the calculations. So the joins where similar to this: inner join paint_cd p on c.clr_id = p.clr_id AND (CASE @paintCd when '' THEN '' ELSE p.paint_cd END) like (CASE @paintCd when '' THEN '' ELSE @paintCd END)
The result though, was exactly the same. So, where in my thinking am I wrong and what is the correct way to go about this?
Does anyone have the logic to convert RTF formatted data in a textcolumn into plain ascii text that I can use in a varchar variable orfield?We have an app that allows formatted comments/notes to be stored in aSQL 2000 text column. Ideally, I would like a trigger that would copyany inserted comments into a seperate table, varchar field so thatthese are viewable in other apps that can not display formatted RTF.I would really like the logic to be all SQL based and not have to use aclient app to read/convert/insert the data in a batch mode.
Hi all. Iv'e tryed out xp_smtp_sendmail, and I like what I can see sofar. The thing I wonder about is if the xp supports sending both htmlAND plain text in the same mail. I'm on a sql2000 sp3 and I have noproblem with the xp when i either send plain text or html, but asstated above I need to send with both formats in one mail......For use when one does not know if the receiver uses a mail-client thatsupports html or not. If not does anyone know of a good way to attackthis problem?thanks in advanceKarl B
We are trying to figure out how to make a stored procedure call and pass some inputs using C# and plain ADO. We are able to call an empty stored procedure but cannot pass parameters into a stored procedure.
Does anyone have sample code in C# whereby we can open a connection and pass inputs into a stored procedure? The following is a sample code we are using:
In the above example, we create a parameter of type integer and try to add it to the ADO Command object. It is supposed to return a recordset. It returns a recordset with record count -1.
In dexterity iam using table_compare() function to check if tables in datasource and dictionary are same but its not picking up the primary key change but it does pick up the column change

Hello all,We are developing an add-on for GoldMine, however my problem is ageneric SQL Server problem. The situation is this; we have a database,with collation set to SQL Latin. When we connect to database viaGoldmine, Enterprise Manager or Delphi (through ADO) we cannot seeTurkish characters. When I set SQL Server machine's "Language ForNon-Unicode Programs" setting to Turkish, GoldMine works fine, howeverthere is still problem in EM and Delphi.Does anybody know how to solve this issue?
Hi,We are developing a small web interface to a local ERP software, whichuses SQL Server 2000 as database. The database uses SQL_Latin1_CP1collation, and the fields are varchar (not nvarchar), however, the mainprogram inserts and reads non-English (Turkish) characters into thesecolumns. However, when we connect to database with ADO.NET, thesecharacters are not read correctly. (The situation is same when I checktables with Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer)In a past situation (which was about a Win32 application), I have heardabout character conversion behaviour of ADO (and many other DBlibraries) and solved that problem using BDE instead of ADO, so thatthe connection is made via DB-Library instead of OLEDB.But this way cannot be applied to my ASP.NET situation, and there is NOway to change database collation. Must I use a ADO.NET property, or useanother provider, or maybe another library? Any advices? Thanks...
I have developed a tool to allow project developers to easily re-create the entire schema for our base product. The current issue involves setting the correct collation for the customers' region. Our brother company in Germany uses the same db creation tool and scripts, and we here in the US also have customers in South America. My ultimate question is "what subset of collation names would be necessary to provide the project developer?" I could query the database to get all the collation names, but I think it was around 1000 names. Can I query to get a smaller subset of the most relevant collation names?
I have this dumb problem with dates in my mobile application. The problem is when saving a short date in English format ex 20/08/2006 the sql server 200 windows CE Edition display an error stating
THERE IS AN ERROR IN THE DATEPART FORMAT. [,,,Expression,,]
When changing the date in American format the problem is solved ex 08/20/2006
The problem is that I require the dates in English Format only!

I am fetching values from a table containing non english characters and inserting the values in another table. Both the tables have the same structure and the column datatype is nvarchar. I am using jdbc jtdc.jar with default parameters. When I query my inserted values, they are junk characters. when I insert values using Query Analyzer the characters are proper. But when i insert using jdbc junk values are stored.
I have a table in sql server 2000 which has over 94000 records. I have to delete a record from table ,which record having a language other than english . I need to clean the table by removing all the data which are in other language . My main table has 12 fields .
insert into product values(1,N'kenenisa') insert into product values(2,N'Ethiopia') Note that i have used N becuase it is unicode data then select * from product; this works fine. select * from product where product_id=1; this also works fine, but select * from product where translated_name=N'kenenisa'; this doesnot work correctly, so how can i fix this problem ?
Hi Friends, I am trying to insert Hebrew string into my database from my Java based tool. I am using SQL Server 2005 and the latest MS SQL jdbc driver. After i insert the string, all the Hebrew characters are in an unreadable format (some junk basically). My requirement is to download the rows of that particular table of the database (containing Hebrew) into an EXCEL sheet, give the corresponding english translation and upload it back. But since i am getting junk characters in the excel sheet, i am unable to translate I have tried changing the COLLATE parameter of the database and tables while creating the database, but still the issue persists. Please help me. Thanks in advance!
Hi,I have a database and want to store data in Spanish and English. Toaccompish this:1. Do i need to create separate tables for both the languages likeitems_en and items_sp?2. If I opt for the UTF16 charset what single collation setting can Iuse?Thanks and RegardsJackal Hunt
There was a tool some time ago called Microsoft English Query, it was part of MS SQL Server 2000. However, as I read recently they discontinued it and new SQL Servers 2005/08 don't have it.
Does anybody have a information about that tool, whether it is offered by Microsoft as stand-alone tool, or maybe a part of some other software ?
I tried to search this site but could not find anything about it.
Hi,I am tasked with creating a site in two languages: English and Farsi (Persian), which is a right-to-left language.I am having problems with the Faris version when it comes to stroing and retrieving data. I can use Farsi fonts and type data into tables, but when I try to retrieve them they are displayed as ?????. I check the table and it says there were problems retriving data and asks to run the query again. When I click on "Execute SQL", the content of the fields that were in Farsi change to ?????.I am new to MS-SQL and would appreciate it if you could tell me how to set up non-English database.TIA.

I was just wondering if anyone had any advice to offer regarding the feasibility of interfacing SQL's English Query Language with Dragon or some other speech recognition software in order to query data?? It seems like an interesting application but is it worth pursing or am I just dreaming...
