Can anybody please answer this :
From SQL Server, how to generate a text document which can be read in StarOffice Writer ??
SQL Server may call another application to do it, but how ?
I have no clue -- please help.
Note: The text document should NOT be an MS Word document.
i need to generate documents for customers to sign automatically as sales staff enter their data into SQL. These are invoice style documents. I currently have word templates of the invoice documentation, i just need to be able to add the clients names, address etc into the relevant spaces for them to print off and sign.
I am good with TSQL and writing Stored Procs etc and can easily get the data ready - i just need to find a way to populate the templates in the right places and then save a copy for emailing.
HiI need to import data from StarOffice 5.2 spreadsheets to aDatawarehouse built in SQL Server and I wan to know what is the bestway to do it. I think I have the next options:- Create a java app using StarOffice api- Use StarOffice Automation (I'm not shure if its possible in version5.2)Is this right?Exist some ODBC driver for *.sdc files?Exist other option?Which option is the most recommended?Thanks
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,I am receiving a text file that is produced from a mainframe that isout of my control. I am attempting to find a (hopefully clean) way toimport it into a SQL Server database in an automated fashion. I amnot really concerned about how many tables it requires or what theschema looks like as long as the data remains related and ends up inits respective fields (I will probably use scratch tables for this).The data is given to me in a format that is meant to be printed outand read by human eyes (in a text file). The format looks somethinglike this:Begin File:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------1234 1234 1234 1234 XYZ Company 01/01/2003.......More stuff related to XYZ company for a couple of lines ..............(this stuff can easily be parsed by position).......MCARD VISA AMEX DISC-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TOTAL 11111.11 4444.44 5555.55 30.01TRANS FEE .20 .20 .15 .15TRANS AMOUNT 2222.22 888.89 833.33 4.50DISC .0165 .0165 .0365 .0355-------------------------------------------------------------------------------ANOTHER HEADER............More stuff related to XYZ Company................End File:Well, this isn't the exact format, but just an example. The point isthat all of the data in each column is related and should end up inthe same record which is related to the parent record of XYZ Company(or all in a single record in a single table if that is the closest Ican get).Also, the rows are not always present. For example, if TRANS FEEdoesn't apply to anything in the row, then the entire row willcollapse and TRANS AMOUNT would be the next line after TOTAL.I was looking at the bcp utility and dts, but dts doesn't seem to havethe performance capabilities (or reliability for that matter) I amlooking for. Bcp seems like it might work if there is some advancedformatting commands that I can't find in the documentation - Anyone?The best I can come up with is to use a high level language such as C#or VB.NET to parse the text file into another text file that is commadelimited, and then use the bcp utility (or bulk insert) to import itinto SQL Server where I can then use TSQL to manipulate it how I want.I am trying to eliminate the high level language parse and just gostraight from file to database. Does anybody know an easier route?TIA

In always on under availability group server name properties can see the option Readable Secondary. In that for secondary server the Readable Secondary Option is YES and for Primary it is Read-Intent. I believe Read-Intent allows only read only connections and YES allows all user connections.

What exactly it means for the primary and secondary?
I have been working with a BI colleague to access the readable secondary through SSRS. For some reason it keeps complaining that ApplicationIntent is not recognized keyword. I am starting to think it's something to do with the driver for SSRS.

Hi guys, im having bigtime problems transfomring a list of working hours into a readable report.
I got a db with a table that looks like this:
Userid Login Logout
22006-11-20 13:22:002006-11-20 22:31:00
22006-11-19 12:31:002006-11-19 17:31:00
22006-11-18 10:31:002006-11-18 17:31:00
I need to transform that data into this:
Weeknumber Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday
46 0 0 0 0 0 7 0
47 9.15 0 0 0 0 0 5
All i got so far is this query:
SELECT DATEPART(ww, login) as weeknumber , DATENAME(dw, login) AS day, DATEDIFF(minute, login, logout) / 60.0 as hours
FROM timeliste
WHERE userid = '2'
Which isnt even close to what I want, can anyone give me some clues on what I should do to get it right?
I have a table that contains the following two columns:BITS (image(16))BIT_LENGTH (int(4))When I look at the table, I see "OLE Object" in the BITS column.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHello everybody,I was configuring a SqlDataSource control using SQL Authentication mode.I first added a database file (testdb.mdf) through Solution Explorer-Add New Items. Then through Database Explorer I created a table named "info"Then while configuring the SqlDataSource control I used the SQL Authentication mode and attached the "testdb.mdf" database file.Test Connection showed success. But when I hit the Ok button of the wizard it displayed the following error message:Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server. Only an integrated connection can generate a user instance.While configuring the SqlDataSource control I clicked "New Connection". Under Data Source section I tried both Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft SQL Server Database File. And in both the cases I attached a databese file(testdb.mdf). Plz enlighten me on this.Thanks and Regards,Sankar.

Does anyone know of any Windows software to scan the same paper document andenter the results to an SQL Server database?We have a Photocopier machine that can automatically scan several documentsat a time and email them to an email address. We'd like to scan in anassessment form that rates a person from 1-10 on punctuality, appearance,efficiency, willingness and professionalism, and then submit the values toan SQL 2000 database.Thanks in advance for any suggestions.Dan Williams.

how to read the data to view the content like recordset (rows end columns).
I have a table where I would like to update the document number row for 3k rows. The problem I have is that the documents come in sets of two (version 1 and 2) but both have different numbers. Picture it like this below:
DOCNUM: 4445787 Version 1
DOCNUM: 4445790 Version 2
It should be the same docnum (ie 4445787 Version 1, 4445787 Version 2).
The challenge is how can we assign the new docnum for version 1 to be also for version 2 as well. Basically in SQL we need a way to
1. Find a way to distinguish the pair of documents in the target db that are the same even though they have different docnums.
2. Update them so that the docnums match.
I have someone who is sending me .htm documents, with a table in them, and I was wondering if there is a way to import the data from those tables into a SQL table, probably using an SSIS Package.

View 10 Replies View RelatedHello all,
Over the weekend, I loaded the SQL Server SP2 on to my production database after having it on my dev server for two weeks with out any problems.
After I did this, I went to check all my SSIS packages and found them not able to load.
I get this message €œMicrosoft Visual Studio is unable to load this document: The package failed to load due to error 0xC0010014 €œOne or more error occurred. There should be more specific errors preceding this one that explains the details of the errors. This message is used as a return value from functions that encounter errors€?. This occurs when CPackage::LoadFromXML fails.
Now when I look at the errors I see:
Error 1 Error loading Master_Full_Weekly.dtsx: Error loading value "<DTS:LogProvider xmlns : DTS="www.microsoft.com/SqlServer/Dts" > <DTS : Property DTS:Name="ConfigString">SQL_TPMTSH_Datamart</DTS: Property><DTS : Property DTS:Name="DelayValidation">0</DTS: Property><DTS: Property DTS:Name="ObjectName">DTS Log Provider for SQL Serve" from node "DTS: LogProvider". D:ETLProjectsTPMTPMTSHMaster_Full_Weekly.dtsx 1 1
Does anyone know what this is about and how I can go about fixing it?
I do a clean install of SQL Server + RS + SP1 with standard setup on Windows Server 2003. I create a simple report (select * from aTable). This report (actually any report) shows the error message "For security reasons DTD is prohibited in this XML document. To enable DTD processing set the ProhibitDtd property on XmlReaderSettings to false and pass the settings into XmlReader.Create method."
This has to do with security settings in Windows Server 2003. On Windows XP everything works fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Edit: The reports do work in the preview tab in BIDS.
OK Here is what I am trying to do... In one of my processes I need to take a field IE CREATE_DATE and change that from an EPOCH (number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970) to a human readable date... IE a 04/02/2008 08:23:36 AM and stuff... Now I do know how to use the dateadd... However all my times are coming up as GMT I need them to be EST/EDT... How can I script this to automagically subject 5 or 4 from the hour depending on if we are in daylight savings. This has been plagueing me for the longest time.
Thank you all for any help you can give.

Hi,
The way i generate my primary keys is to keep a table
PrimaryKeyTable
PrimaryKeyName : varchar (name of the primary key, for example UserID)
PrimaryKeyID : int (the next key should have the number stored in that
field, if it was 12 then next time i add a row the UserID will be 12)
After adding a row, i increment the value of primaryKeyID.
Is there a way to let SQL server to handle the primary key? To let SQL generate the key himself instead of me?
Thanks,
