T-SQL (SS2K8) :: How To Populate More Than One ComplexType XML Elements
Apr 7, 2015
I need to build an XML file with three sibling ComplexType elements, e.g. finance, itinerary and crew details. I can separately build each of them with no problem at all. Below is an example of the finance part, but how to have three within the same XML,?
What I have found so far was only to build one ComplexType, as I did below, but not a combination of them.
WITH finance AS
(SELECT 200.12 AS fare,
12.78 AS VAT,
45.5 AS Tax
UNION ALL
SELECT 150.12 AS fare,
I need to extract specific text elements from a varchar column. There are three keywords in any given string: "wfTask," "wfStatus" and "displayReportFromWorkflow." "wfTask" and "wfStatus" can appear multiple times, but always as a pair and will each be followed by by "==" (with or without surrounding spaces). "displayReportFromWorkflow" is always followed by "(" and there can be spaces on either side. The text elements will be between a pair of double quotes, and following one of keywords. For each row, I need to return the task, status and report name.
Output: rowID, Task, Status, ReportName ----- --------- ------- ------------------------ 1, Issuance, Issued, General Permit 2, Issuance, Issued, Capacity Letter Type III 2, Review, Denied, Capacity Letter Type III
I started with a string splitter using the double quote character, referencing elements "i" and "i+1" where the text like '%wfTask%' or '%wfStatus%' or '%displayReportFromWorkflow%', but the case of multiple task/status in a row has confounded me so far.
I have a temporary table (@tblResults) that has 4 columns that need to be populated with a calculation made from columns held within 2 other tables.
Joins @tblResults tr JOIN dbo.MarketPrice mp ON tr.Item = mp.Item AND tr.[Month] = mp.[Month] AND tr.[Year] = mp.[Year] AND mp.[Date] BETWEEN tr.LatestStartDate AND tr.PriorEndDate
[code]....
Where the 2 dbo.MarketPrice and dbo.MillDifferentials date fields are NOT equal, the last (chronologically) dbo.MillDifferentials.Diff value should be used (or '0' if no previous value found).
so expected results where @tblResults.Id = 1:
The dbo.MarketPrice.Price value of '2014-10-29' should be combined with the dbo.MillDifferentials.Diff value of '2014-10-06' - this produces the combined Max value of 184.50 The dbo.MarketPrice.Price value of '2014-04-28' should be combined with the dbo.MillDifferentials.Diff value of '2014-04-28' The dbo.MarketPrice.Price value of '2014-01-22' should be combined with the dbo.MillDifferentials.Diff value of '2014-01-20' The dbo.MarketPrice.Price value of '2014-01-21' should be combined with the dbo.MillDifferentials.Diff value of '2014-01-20' - this produces the combined Min value of 111.50 The dbo.MarketPrice.Price value of '2014-01-04' should be combined with '0.00' if there is no matching or previous dbo.MillDifferentials.Diff value OR the top 1/max (most recent) dbo.MillDifferentials.Diff value if a record is found before the specified @tblResults.LatestStartDate
I am using SSRS 2005 SP2 and I need to allow my users to select the products they want in the report. I created a data set to get the list of the products and then used it in a multivalue parameter to generate a drop down list. My problem is that the list is too long (more than 2000 elements) and thus, it takes 10 sec to collapse the drop down list after tickinging the products.
Does anyone have an miraculous solution? Thanks in advance for your answers.
This one I hope is easy, but I've been working late and it seems to be aluding me. I have a field called time_in which is a char(6) field type. This field holds time elements such at 10:57
My query below is substracting one hour from Time_In and returning it as Hold_Time. I only want to return the time element without the date portion or the milliseconds, etc.
Code Block select substring(cu.time_in, 1,5) as time_in, DATEADD(hour, -1, substring(cu.time_in, 1,5)) as hold_time from reports.careunits_hold_hours cu
I am working on a project developing a fairly large number of reports with a team of developers. Many of these reports have common elements and code, such as common headers with user-selectable colors. Additionally, many of the common parts of the reports are at mockup stage currently, and many features will have to be added to the reports as time goes on.
We're attempting to create a generalized framework that will minimize the duplication of effort as we develop these reports, and as we go back and modify or fix them later.
What is the best way to approach this?
My first attempt was to create a report template and base all the reports off of the same template. That was fine for the first pass, but as we need to make changes later, they will not be propagated to the already existing reports.
My second attempt was to have each componant of that template reference a subreport, so that changes to the actual report template will be minimized as we go forward. This works great for minimizeing work, but it appears that you lose many features with the use of subreports, and there seems to be a pretty serious performance impact as well. I have posted about one such issue here: Pagination
If anyone has pointers about how to go about this, and where I should start, they would be greatly apreciated!
Hi, I use the FOR XML AUTO to retrive native XML from a database with: SELECT [xml] FROM myxml WHERE id = 81 FOR XML AUTO, elements, root('ROOT')" However it returns the database name and table name as parent elements. How can I return just my raw XML data without additional elements: XML is Stored: <ROOT> <CHAPTER> <TITLE>This is a test</TITLE> </CHAPTER> </ROOT> Returns: <databasename> <tablename> <ROOT> <CHAPTER> <TITLE>This is a test</TITLE> </CHAPTER> </ROOT> </tablename> </databasename>
Hi All,If have a sql table with 2 columns and 2 rows with values[["col1row1","col2row1"],["col1row2","col2row2"]].Using t-SQL with "for xml"How can i create a xml where the cell values (not column names) appearas elements?eg:<col1row1>col2row1</col1row1><col1row2>col2row2</col1row2>Thanks,slyi
HiI'm a bit stuck with a SELECT query. This is a simplified version ofwhat I need. I've had a look in a few books and online but I'mdefinitely missing something. I'm trying to avoid looping and cursors.I'll be running this in a stored procedure on SQL 7.I have a separate query which returns a series of numbers, A, say 101103 107 109 113.I have a table (tableB) with a field myFieldB where I have anotherseries of numbers, B. I want return each row in tableB wherei - ALL values in A existii- ANY values in A existFor ii, I can use WHERE myFieldB IN AHow about for i?Is there a good guide on the web or a book on WHERE clauses and/ormore complex SQL?Thanks in advance!Sam
Is it possible to suppress the output of certain report elements when the report is printed or exported? I want a particular image element that has a hyperlink to be visible when the report is viewed within RS's ReportViewer, but don't want it to show up on the printed or exported file. I figure, if this is even possible, the most obvious methods would be either:
1. Put the element in the page header or footer, then set up the page header or footer to not show up on the printed or exported report.
2. Put the element anywhere on the report, and set it to hidden when the report is printed or exported.
Are either of these possible? If not, is there another way to accomplish this?
I have a report that is embedded in a .net 2.0 web form. It works. I would like to be able to modify some of the elements in the report as the web form loads. I have tried the following code that did NOT work:
Dim myImage1 As New Image
myImage1 = Me.ReportViewer1.FindControl("Image1")
myImage1.ImageUrl = "Images/small_info_logo.jpg"
Does anyone know of a site that has some godo examples and object models on how to do this?
Has anyone run across this before? I'm missing the Contents and Properties tab along with the button bar containing the "New Folder", "New Data Source", "Upload File" and "Show Details" buttons in the Report Manager. Also, which I think may be related, when I attempt to deploy a report I get the error: "A connection could not be made to the report server http://MyServer/Reports.
I have created a number of reports where I need to display database elements in the Header record. I have been using the reportitems feature to get them to display there. When I preview the report the header looks fine; however, when the report is exported to pdf or printed out the header information completly disappears.
Hi All - I am using OpenXML to insert data into SQL Server 2005. All works okay except for the fact that in my XML I have an attribute tag and elements as follows.<Location> <Place City = "LA" State = "CA"> <Place city = "NY" State = "NY"> <Place City = "St. Louis" state = "MO"></Location> If you notice in the above code, the 2nd city NY has element tag "city" in lower case and others are "City" with a Upper Case "C" same for state in case of MO which is lower case and others are Upper Cases..Now I understand that XML is case sensitive. What should I do if I have XML files in the above format with inconsistent element tags? Because if I run the below code.. using OpenXML...Insert Into TableXSelect *FROM OPENXML (@DocHandle, '/Location/Place', 1) WITH (City varchar(255) '@City', State varchar(255) '@State') ox Then in the above scenario it won't insert values for city "NY" and state "MO" since both have lower case elements tags and in my OpenXML I have specified as @City and @State with Upper Case "C" and "S" respectively. Now in such a scenario what can one do? Any thoughts is to how I can also grab value for lower case "city" and "state" in the above XML. Any help would me much appreciated. Thanks a billion.Regards- web
[rsInvalidColor] The value of the BackgroundColor property for the textbox €˜textbox14€™ is €œTransparent€?, which is not a valid BackgroundColor.
This is appearing when I set the BackgroundColor property in a SSRS report using an expression. What I'm trying to do is have the colour of the text and background returned by the stored procedure that returns the data for use in Matrix and Table. But the problem seems to relate to all controls in SSRS 2005.
Steps to reproduce are create a new report, add a TextBox.
Go to properties of the textbox and select the Backgroundcolor and select Expression...
Then add the expression:
="Transparent"
Transparent doesn't seem to be a constant, but does appear to be a value you are allowed to selected (and is the default) from the drop down in the background colour.
The work-around is to use White, which works if you don't use a background image or change the background colour of the page.
However if you do us the "Transaparent" colour, then it does return the correct effect, but generates an error in the Output window within the development environment. I'm just ignoring the error for the time being. but has anyone else seen this error.
Hi all, I am writing a select query which produces huge xml data.Now i want to read that data from my web application a save it as xml file. How can i do that. I am using asp.net vb.net.
I have a hierarchical structure for mapping products to categories, categories go 3 levels deep (depth is defined in articlegroups.catlevel, 0 being the main category and traversing down to lower category level 2). Also, a product may be in more than 1 category(!).
product details are stored in `[products]` articlegroups are defined in `[articlegroups]` and the mapping of the products to the articlegroups are defined in `[products_category_mapping]`
Now, I want to retrieve index the full category path for each item, so with the data provided below, I'd expect these 2 rows as a result:
Now I can get the separate fields via a statement like this:
SELECT ga.slug_nl as slug_nl_0 FROM articlegroups ga INNER JOIN products_category_mapping pcm ON pcm.articlegroup_id=ga.id INNER JOIN products gp on gp.id=pcm.artikelid WHERE gp.id=2481446
I have a simple select quesry but with 'for XML AUTO, ELEMENTS'. I want to put in the resulting xml string into a temporary table and then alter that string as per my requirements. But I am unable to put this XML string into a table variable. Please offer your suggestions.
Hi All, I have a requirement here to import data from XML file to SQL Database. The XML schema contains of various elements and one of the element is recursive ie. Parameter node contains parameter node within it and it can have n number of iterations. I have given the sample schema below:
But all the nodes contain the data which has to be imported to a single table dbo.Parameters. I cannot use Union ALL since i dont know how many iterations I will have in the file. Is there any way to do this operation in Data Flow Task using XML Source? Can anyone help me on this?
I'm fairly new to the SSIS world, and I've recently ported a bunch of dts packages over to SSIS. I'm an ASP.NET developer so I'm very familiar with the capabilities that configuration files give you, and I attempted to set up my solution as follows:
All of my "Data Sources" are at the project level, and added (with the same name) to each package. I wanted to have a single config file that had all of the project-level settings (i.e. connection strings, data file paths, etc). I then have a config for each package with the package level settings - i.e. variables, etc.
The problem becomes that all packages do not use all data sources. This results in an error when I try to open up a package for editing, it complains that it doesn't have a reference to data source XYZ that it is seeing in the configuration file.
Is there any way that I can get around this? If I have a password to a database change, I don't want to have to look through every config file and change it in multiple places.
I am trying to use FOR XML under SQL Server 2014 to write out a large XML data set. I want it to look like
<CVS_Member_Add_Change> Â Â <RecordType>3</RecordType> Â Â <Carrier>1266</Carrier> Â Â <MultiBirthCode>0000000</MultiBirthCode> Â Â <MemberType></MemberType>
[Code] ....
That's how it looks when you click on the results of a small subset of the query. Â Just what I want. Â Unfortunately when you try to right click and save it you getÂ
We are using a table that may give 1 to and unknown number of data elements (ie. years) .  How can we break this to show only three years in each row.  Since we don't know the number years we really won't know the number of rows needed.  Years are stored in their own table by line.   car make year1 year2 year3 A  volare 1995 1996 1997 a  volare 1997  1998  1999 b toyat  1965   1966  1968
We can pivot out the first X# but we don't know how many lines so we don't know how many rows we will be creating.
I'm using some xslt documents to transform the xml output of my Reports but have come across two curiosities where the xslt filter seems to behave unusually.
Firstly, I need the final saved file to have an xml declaration, which I believe it should do by default. Even if I put omit-xml-declaration="no" in the xsl:output tag I don't get an xml declaration. At present we have a custom job that writes these declarations back into the xml after SRS has saved it.
Secondly and more importantly, I need to have some of my output tags wrapped in CDATA sections. I've tried using the cdata-section-elements attribute, again with no luck.
my XSLT looks something like this (simplified for space)
What is the better table design for a data collection application.1. Vertical model (pk, attributeName, AttributeValue)2. Custom columns (pk, custom1, custom2, custom3...custom50)Since the data elements collected may change year over year, whichmodel better takes of this column dynamicness
I'm trying to use an XML Task to do a simple XSLT operation, but it fails with this error message:
[XML Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "There are multiple root elements. Line 5, position 2.".
The source XML file validates fine and I've successfully used it as the XML Source in a data flow task to load some SQL Server tables. It has very few line breaks, so the first 5 lines are pretty long: almost 4000 characters, including 34 start-tags, 19 end-tags, and 2 empty element tags. Here's the very beginning of it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <ESDU releaselevel="2006-02" createdate="26 May 2006"><package id="1" title="_standard" shorttitle="_standard" filename="pk_stan" supplementdate="01/05/2005" supplementlevel="1"><abstract><![CDATA[This package contains the standard ESDU Series.]]></abstract>
There is only 1 ESDU root element and only 1 package element.
Of course, the XSLT stylesheet is also an XML document in its own right. I specify it directly in the XML Task:
