OK - totally new to this game but here goes ...
I want to put together a database to record times achieved by swimmers in competition. The database itself is simple but I don't know what format to use to store the time achieved. Times can vary, for example 35.27 (SS.00), 1.12.63 (MM.SS.00). Oh, and by the way I want to rank the output but haven't even begun to think about that yet!

Hi,
I am creating a VB application that will run on a NT machine with Regional Settings as UK English and dd/mm/yyyy settings. When I try to input these values into SQL 7.0 ( default database setting mdy and us_english with Regional Settings as UK dd/mm/yyyy) , I get the error -" The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value " .
Can I change my databse to always be dmy format. It seems to be active for a connection , can it be configured somewhere .
Any help will be greatly appreciated !

I have two beginner questions:
1. How should I set up report layout/printing format so it would fit to the page?
2. Is there a way to change the color of every other row in the table? Can I highlight the rows based on some kind of a condition?
Thank you.
Hi,
My ISP says that the file format for SQE .mdf files is different than a regular sql2005 .mdf file. So, what I am told to do is backup my SQE file, and send it to them to restore into a SQL2005 format.
Does that make sense? Or should I simply be able to upload a .mdf file to their SQL2005 server without backing it up for them to restore?
Thanks,

Hello..
I have a problem with DateTime...In my local sql server I use "mm.dd.yyyy" format and i work fine with the database. But that crashed in my clients sql server. Their sql server wants "dd.mm.yyyy" format. Ofcourse I can use parameterized queries and solve the problem but I write the program on WinCE5.0 and I use the RDA method to access the SQL Server.In RDA,I have no chance to use parameterized queries as I know.
How can I solve the problem and what causes this problem? A setting in sql server or something else?What causes this difference..?
I wish I could explained my problem..
Thanks in advance.
Hi--
I am relatively new to SQL Reporting Services and have a couple basic questions (I think they are basic).
First, lets say that I have the following fields in the body of my report: Sales, Cost, Profit, and Percent Profit. Percent Profit is a calculated field of profit/sales.
Then, I have a grouping by customer, with a footer with the sum of sales, sum of cost, sum of profit. And I also want percent profit, but I do not want a sum or average of percent profit. Instead I want percent profit calculated as sum of profit/sum of sales. I cannot seem to get this to work with a calculated field. I must have the syntax wrong (as I was just taking sum(fields!profit.value)/sum(fields!sales.value)*100.
Also, I understand the format of #,# can be used to print a blank instead of zero. But this format also suppresses any decimals. So if I have a field that needs two decimals when there is a value, but need it to be blank when 0.00 is returned, what is the appropriate format?
Any help that can be provided would be much appreciated. As books are great, but sometimes do not explain everything. Thanks!

Hey all,
I`m trying to BCP in some data from a csv file. It has dates formatted like d/mm/yy and when run BCP it errors. Of course...SQL language is set to English(United States) so it wants it in mm/dd/yy. But from what I`ve read in the archive, from Sharon at least, is that only in BCP will it use the NT date setting which for me is English(Australian) or d/mm/yy. So I`m thinking, `that`s ok` my data`s dates like d/mm/yy and nt dates like d/mm/yy it`ll bcp in fine - but no.
What can I do? I cant change my sql setting and I cant change the way I dump my dates to the csv! Suggestions......

Hi. I have a DB in which we store dates in yyyy/mm/dd. However when wewant to display this date via a web frontend, it needs to be indd/mm/yyyy. I've declared a function (shown below) which convertsbetween these date formats and returns a varchar(20). This works finehowever now I need to have the ability to sort on this date field inthe frontend. This requires my function to return a datetime in therequired format. Can this be done?DECLARE @InputDate nvarchar(20)DECLARE @OutputDate nvarchar(20)DECLARE @Day nvarchar(2)DECLARE @Month nvarchar(2)DECLARE @Year nvarchar(4)DECLARE @Time nvarchar(12)SET @InputDate = '2005/03/01 14:30:00'SET @Day = cast(datepart(day,@InputDate) as nvarchar(2))SET @Month = cast(datepart(month,@InputDate) as nvarchar(2))SET @Year = cast(datepart(year,@InputDate) as nvarchar(4))SET @Time = substring(cast(@InputDate as nvarchar(23)),12,12)SET @OutputDate = replicate('0',2-len(@Day)) + @Day + '/' +replicate('0',2-len(@Month)) + @Month + '/' +@Year + ' ' + @TimeSELECT @OutputDate AS OutputDateThxVilen

Hi Folks
I have a SQL date problem that I just cant get to the bottom of.
A SSIS package runs that inserts dates into a SQL table from strings in the format dd/mm/yyyy
This package is run from within a SQL job.
Unfortunately the dates are being interpreted as mm/dd/yyyy. I have checked every possible date setting that I can, but nothing seems to work (SQL Agent account lang is set to British English, collations, Locale ID setting in the SSIS package, Lang of account that runs the SSIS service).
When the package is run in BIDS it inserts the dates correctly, just not from a SQL job.
I have tried inserting SET DATEFORMAT dmy in an Execute SQL Task in the SSIS package but that does not work either.
The baffling thing is that it works on one server but not another. Both servers have the same collation, regional settings and use the same SQL Agent account.
Also when SELECT @@Language is used is this determined by the lang setting against the user ?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hi once again guys,
I seem to be struggling with everything in SSIS these days!
I have a datetime field and I want to convert it to the following format in my derived column component :
yyyy.mm.dd
I also have another datetime field but this time I am only interested in the time values and I want to get :
HH:MM
How do I go about doing this in the SSIS expression builder?
Please help.
Is there a way to send a report with 2 or more formats? Let's say a customer wants a report in both PDF and Excel format in the same email. Is this possible?

I'm currently using SQL Server 2000 and SSRS 2000 with the latest Service Packs.
I need to disable Excel Exports for a single report.
I've found a way to disable Exporting Formats but it disables for ALL REPORTS on the server.
This involves changing the rsreportserver.config file.
http://blogs.digineer.com/blogs/jasons/archive/2006/05/10/93.aspx
Another site mentions a way to disable Exporting Formats for a single Report.

if (info != null)
{
Extension rsExtension = info.GetValue(extension) as Extension;

{
rsExtension.Visible = false;
}
}
}
}
}
I'm looking for further clarification of this process.
1. Where I can download the Microsoft.SqlServer.ReportingServices2000 dll?
2. Does anyone have a project example of the process? How/When to actually use the code quoted?

View 4 Replies View RelatedDear SQL folks,
We have files from an event log in a DEC Alpha server and we would like to create a database program to import these files and then be able to read and query the info in them.
These files contain information such as error codes about the machine that the Alpha controls. They also contain time stamps. I am told that these files are hexidecimal.
Someone mentioned in passing that if we use MSaccess as the database, we would first have to write a program to convert these files to a format that Access can understand.
But, we were told that SQL7 has Add-ins that comes on the CD that can convert these files to a format that SQL7 can then understand.
Does anyone know if this is true..and how difficult is file conversion to accomplish?
If anyone thinks that they might be able to help us, I can sent them a small sample of the hex files
Thank you in advance
Hello Folks,
Im trying to use Integrations services to import a file on a daily basis.
My flatfile has to different type of rows that comes from an transaction system, it looks like this:
132,1/1/2008,00,123654,text,1,123.00
132,1/1/2008,00,123652,text,1,23.00
132,1/1/2008,00,123655,text,1,3.00
123,1/1/1/2008,01,149.00
1125,1/1/2008,00,123654,text,1,123.00
1125,1/1/2008,00,123652,text,1,23.00
1125,1/1/2008,00,123655,text,1,3.00
1125,1/1/1/2008,01,149.00;Cash;EUR;01;12
After the date you can see that there is two digits number either 00 or 01. The rows also have a different lengthts.
When ever that columns contains 00 the line should be inserted to a special text file, if the columns contains 01 it should to another file.
How can I solve this in a good way?
One of the problems I have is that when I try to import the rows the flat file connections indicates(erros message) that I have partial row in the file which is true since the the rows with the columns content 01 have more fields then the other.
Thanks for you help.

Hi,
I'm using 2 DB servers, with MS SQL Server 2000 on each of them, one for development and one for production.
When I want to query some information, filtered on a date in the WHERE clause, I have to use DATE = '<MM/DD/YYYY>' on the development machine, and DATE = '<DD/MM/YYYY>' on the production one, to get the result I want, and I can't figure out why (I'm just a lambda user). I would like to configure the servers so that both use the <DD/MM/YYYY> format.
Could somebody help me on this case ?

How to write SQl query to fetch this type of output.
Good morning (afternoon/evening) all.
I am researching a way to render data in a plain text file, with no formatting.
I plan on building out the result set to exactly what I am wanting and just need it to render itself without any formatting logic being taken into consideration.
The end result is to generate a QIF file from a random data set. QIF is just a formatted text file.
Am I making sense?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings -
Am having problems setting a normal SSN xxx-xx-xxx format for a report textbox using the Textbox Properties / Format tab. The data is stored as text, and am using the "Format Code .... " option. When I choose "Custom" option, and attempt any formatting string containing the "-", the SSN is displayed without the "-". Nothing I have tried works.
What is the correct context string for this format?
Tks.
