test1 and test2 should give the same result, but they don't?! test1 gives wrong result; test 2 gives correct result. Furthermore, test3 gives a Divide by Zero???
This makes no sense.
(365 / (90 + 91)) is a constant I use many times in my code; only way to procede is to replace it by a number, or have i misunderstood something?
I'm trying to set the value of the SelectedDatabases collection property of an Update Statistics Task using an expression for the task, basing it on a user variable. Ultimately, I'll set that variable's value from a configuration file at run time and thereby specify the database whose statistics I want to update.
When I set this up in the designer, I get an error at the time I try to save the package:
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio ------------------------------
Nonfatal errors occurred while saving the package: Error at Update Statistics Task: The result of the expression "@[User::SelectedDatabase]" on property "SelectedDatabases" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the property.
Error at Update Statistics Task: The result of the expression "@[User::SelectedDatabase]" on property "SelectedDatabases" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the property.

OK ------------------------------
I used the expression editor's expression builder to select the user variable, so I assume the syntax is correct. However, I'm suspecting that there's some additional syntax required to store that value in the collection's array. I cannot find any references to any special formats and am wondering if anyone know's how to do this correctly. On the other hand, maybe it is telling me setting this property from an expression is not even allowed. If it's not allowed, why is it in the list of properties to set? In any case, none of this is clear.
This is the error I get with a simple Data Reader Source (SELECT * FROM A) to SQL Server Destination copy between identical tables from a linked to a local server:
Error 3 Error loading MLS_AZ_PHX.dtsx: The result of the expression ""C:\sql_working_directory\MLS\AZ\Phoenix\Docs\Armls_Schema Updated 020107.xls"" on property "ConnectionString" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the property. c:documents and settingsviewmastermy documentsvisual studio 2005projectsm l sMLS_AZ_PHX.dtsx 1 1
Directly using C:sql_working_directoryMLSAZPhoenixDocsArmls_Schema Updated 020107.xls as connectionString works
However - I'm trying to deploy the package - and trying to use expression: @[User::DIR_WORKING] + "\Docs\Armls_Schema Updated 020107.xls" which causes the same error to occur
(Same error with other Excel source also: Error 5 Error loading MLS_AZ_PHX.dtsx: The result of the expression "@[User::DIR_WORKING] + "\Docs\Armls_SchoolCodesJuly06.xls"" on property "ConnectionString" cannot be written to the property.

I have created 1 report with 2 datasets. This report is attached to the 1st dataset.For example,1st one is "Smallappliances", 2nd is "Largeappliances".
I created a tablix and, the 1st column extracts Total sales per Sales person between 2 dates from 1st dataset (Small appliances). I used running values expression and it works fine.
Now, I would like to add another column that extracts Total sales per sales person between 2 dates from 2nd dataset (Large appliances). I am aware that I need to use Lookup expression and it is giving me the single sales value rather than the total sales values. So, I wanted to use RunningValue expression within lookup table to get total sales for large appliances.
This is the lookup expression that I added for the 2nd column.
I get this error when I preview the report.An error occurred during local report processing.The definition of the report is invalid.An unexpected error occurred in report processing.

I created a .bat file with this instruction and It's run well:
We are trying to install the Standard Edition of SQL Server 2005. We already have SQL Express installed. Standard won't install and Express won't uninstall.
We have tried every suggestion we can find and some we made up. When we try to install Standard, we get to the bit where you choose what you want to install and the only thing available is workstation components.
There are so many cases of this on the Internat that I can't believe MS have not solved the issue. And I am stunned that they want to charge us more money to talk to us about how to fix something we just paid them an arm and a leg for!
What do I need to tell you to get some idea of where to go next with this?
I am receiving funny results from a query. To simplify, I have 2 tables (todayyesterday). Each tbl has the same 8 columns. My query joins the two tables then looks where either of two columns has changed. What is happening is that when checking one of the columns it seems as though sql is flipping the column, causing it to be returned in error.
result set
colA colB colC colD colE colF colG colG (from yesterday) 1 1 a b c d e m 1 1 a b c d m e
So what's happening is that the record above is actually the same record and should not be returned. There is a daily pmt column that changes but I am not using that in the query. Aside from that the two records are identicle.
I have the following situation (with a site that already works and i cannot modify the database architecture and following CrossRef tables -- you will see what i mean by CrossRef tables below)
foreach hotel, there definitely is a crossRef entry in AddressCrossRef and Address tables respectively (since every hotel has an address)
however not all hotels have thumbnail image
hence i have hotel inner join AddressXReff inner join Address ..... however i must have left outer join mediaXref left outer join media
the problem is that if there is no entry in Media or mediaXref, I don't get any results
i tried to get over it by using where (media.mediaTyple like 'thumbnail' or media.mediaType is null) but then i started getting multiple results for each hotel because media's of type movie or full_image or etc... all got returned
well I have this code. I connect to database and submit data. now i dont know which expression to use to validate if data is submited redirect to next level else show some error. protected void Button1_Click1(object sender, EventArgs e) { SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@"somecode"); SqlCommand comm = new SqlCommand(); comm.Connection = con; comm.CommandText = "insertuser"; comm.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;some code... comm.Connection.Open(); comm.ExecuteNonQuery(); con.Close(); } i dont wanna validate the fields as i can do it using field validator i wanna check if data is inserted in database.
When I try and create this procedure, I get the error below

I need a statement like:UPDATE tblQuestions SET QuestionNumber = QuestionNumber +1 WHERE QuestionNumber >=10 AND TestID = 1 AND SectionNumber = 1 (Required output is clear from statement itself)
I tried with UPDATE tblQuestions SET QuestionNumber = EVAL(QuestionNumber +1) WHERE QuestionNumber >=10 AND TestID = 1 AND SectionNumber = 1 and UPDATE tblQuestions SET QuestionNumber = (QuestionNumber +1) WHERE QuestionNumber >=10 AND TestID = 1 AND SectionNumber = 1
I've just started working with SQL. Please suggest correct approach.
I have the following code in the expression builder for a ExecuteSQL Task in the Control Flow. "INSERT dbo.StgFileList SELECT ' " + @[User::MyFile] + " ' "
When I evaluate it, it renders as INSERT Staging.StgXMLFileList SELECT ' '
Is it possible to nest expressions within a script in a similar fashion to how they're nested within the expression editor?
I have a requirement to strip trailing digits from a string field, so that only two decimal places are left.
e.g. 1.12345 becomes 1.12 12345.6789 becomes 12345.67
I would do this in the expression editor but I need to use Script component because there are a multitude of conditions that need to be evaluated first which I will do inside a Select Case statement.
Hi, In ssis I would like to map a column from table a to a column in table b Currently this is how I am doing it using sql. I believe I have to use a derived column but not sure how to implement if statement inside it. Thanks
case
when len([Column 5]) = 0 then ''
when lower([Column 5]) = 'unknown' then ''
when isdate([Column 5]) = 1 then substring(ltrim([Column 5]), 1, 4) + substring(ltrim([Column 5]), 6, 2) + substring(ltrim([Column 5]), 9, 2)
The Value expression for the textbox €˜Name€™ uses an aggregate expression without a scope. A scope is required for all aggregates used outside of a data region unless the report contains exactly one data set....what does this mean...this an error that I have when i try and build my report i get this error for some reason...how do i fix this???
Hi, Is it possible to search in columns with a number datatype (I'm using an MS SQL database with bigint columns) with the ICriterion Expression.Like? Normally the Expression.Like is used for varchar columns. However, if there's a bigint column with the value 167829 I want to search for example on %678%. Cheers, koekie
Hello,In VB/VB.NET, I can use an expression as such to evaluate true/false:Dim blnValue As Boolean = (SomeObject.Property = "Some value")Can I do this in T-SQL?declare @var bitset @var = ?Thanks.
Hello, I need to create a table where a column's data should have a hypen inserted after the second character. The table will accept a large input of rows, so I think it would be better to use a SQL expression or formula on the column to provide the hyphen on insert rather than doing an update statement later. There is no way of knowing how many characters will follow the hyphen. So for example... 888888 would become 88-8888 or 5555555555555555 would become 55-55555555555555 Any help would be great!
I have a table in which one of the column name is "NAME". I have to write query in which column is not null and if there is something then check for 'trust' or 'trustee' in the string. and if found don't pull that record. skip it
HiI'm looking to return rows from a table where a column is LIKE a keyword. This is my current code:SELECT DISTINCT business_name FROM Table WHERE business_name LIKE @keyword + '%' ORDER BY business_name ASCThe problem with this is that if a business is called "The White Ship Inn", and the keyword to match is "White Ship" it will not match. If i put another wild card in front of @keyword then this finds too many matches - i need it to match against columns which either start with the keyword, or have a whitespace in front of them. Is there some kind of T-Sql i can use or will i have to go down the regex route (using this (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mcpp/xpregex.aspx)) ?cheers
Does SqlServer support Regular expression? I want to know if it's avilable or not... And if it's not available, I want to know any other efficient way to validate string.. manipulating Regular expression style validation.
I have an expression based upon 2 fields in a view that I want to be able to divide and then multiply by a number. Whenever I do the division portion of the calculation all I get are 0 & 1's. I was hoping to use the percentage in other calculations. Is there something similar to FORMAT(X/Y,0.00)?
(vwLbrPosSum.PosMin/vwMinByEmp.TotMin) x (a)vwLbrPosSum.PosMin or (b) 2400 or (c)vwMinbyEmp.TotMin - 2400 If the person worked more than 40 hrs I could allocate the OTMins to the different positions in labor reporting.
Hi i'd like to create a expression to find if the first character is 0 and if it is then don't display it, but if the first charactar is not 0 then its ok, am trying to do this within a drived column in SSIS
