Hi!
I have field1 decimal(11,0) containing number 1234567 and
I must get the last six digits to int-field, eg. I want field2 int containing 234567 as result. How should I do that with functions? And it should work regardless of the length of the field1, eg field1 = 123456789 -> field2 = 456789

I have a report with a column which contains either a string such as "N/A" or a number such as 12. A user exports the report to Excel. In Excel the numbers are formatted as text.
I already tried to set the value as CDbl which returns error for the cells containing a string.
The requirement is to export the column to Excel with the numbers formatted as numbers and the strings such as "N/A' in the same column as string.
Any suggestions?

I have a table with a column ID of ContentID. The ID in that column is all NULLs. I need a way to change those nulls to a number. It does not matter what type of number it is as long as they are different. Can someone point me somewhere with a piece of T-SQL that I could use to do that. There are over 24000 rows so cursor change will not be very efficient.
Thanks for any help
I have an 'ID' column. I'm up to about ID number 40000, but not all are in use, so ID 4354 might not be in any row. I want a list of all numbers which aren't in use. I want to write something like this:
select [numbers from 0 to 40000] where <number> not in (select distinct id from mytable)
but don't know how. Any clues?
I'm trying to write data to excel from an ssis component to a excel destination.
Even thought I'm writing numerics, every cell gets this error with a green tag:
Convert numbers stored as text to numbers
Excel Cells were all pre-formated to accounting 2 decimal, and if i manually type the exact data Im sending it formats just fine.
I'm hearing this a common problem -
On another project I was able to find a workaround for the web based version of excel, by writing this to the top of the file:
<style>.text { mso-number-format:@; } </style>
is there anything I can pre-set in excel (cells are already formated) or write to my file so that numerics are seen as numerics and not text.
Maybe some setting in my write drivers - using sql servers excel destination.
So close.. Thanks for any help or information.

View 1 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone have experience with truncating an expression like the Excel TRUNC?
For example in Excel, you might have something like =TRUNC(IF($AE11=0,1,X11/$AE11),5) which drops off a certain amount of the results after the decimal point. 87.5659321 becomes 87.565 instead of the result of a rounding.

Hi all,
This is a database on which there are continuous inserts and updates. Data is loaded into this database in bulk at regular intervals. I do not back up the transaction log. For these reasons, I have set the options, 'select into/bulk copy' and 'truncate log on checkpoint'. When the 'truncate log on checkpoint' option was not set, the log file would grow very huge and fill up the entire disk space(file growth is unlimited). But, even after the 'truncate log on checkpoint' option has been set, the log file does grow at times to fill up the entire disk. I assumed that since the 'truncate log on checkpoint' option was set, the inactive portion of the log would be truncated every 1 minute(ie, during every checkpoint). Could someone please explain the reason for this behaviour?
Thanks in advance,

hello,
Daily, after a database backup done in the evening, around 3am we have a lot of flat files to integrate in tables and then process.
The question is : We want to free the space used by the transation log.
Then, we use "backup log with no_log" and/or "backup log with truncate_only"
We look at the size of the transaction log with "dbcc sqlperf( logspace )" but the 'Log space used %' stays the same.
Could you give us some informations or tips on this.
Thank you from Paris

How to truncate all the tables in the databases at once,if there are 200 tables?Any help is appreciated!
Thanks.
I am trying to truncate one field within a table and replace it with data from another database. Creating the data and inserting it is no problem, does anyone have any way of completing the truncate could I use an update or a delete as an alternative method?

Hi,
I am having a problem with growing transaction log size, it has grown to 10 gb and I need to truncate it. How can I do it without interfering the users since it's our production database with 24/7 operational service.
Thanks in advance!!!
I have a Database of size 200 MB and my transactio log is 13GB(very high).So can I truncate the log file by taking a fresh full backup?
Thanks.
Recently I start working with SQL 6.5 server on NT4 (sp6)
Before me someone make abnormal reinstallation of this SQL server.
after that server need to be restarted every day
On the database edit window I have seen that Avaluable Log Space is 0
and in the course of working with device have seen that device definition
is erroneous. the path to file is different from the name of file,
i.e. in device defined (D:aaa03_log) and actually present file
(D:aaalog_03)
and as result every operation on device get the error.
I have change the name of the file to match the sql device definitions but
first this don't helped.
I have added new device and expanded the database log on it, but Avaluable Log Space remains 0.
After a number of restarts I noticed that old erroneous device is now
become visible and I can work with it, for instance expand it. But Avaluable Log Space remains 0 and in the sql monitor I also see that log occupied 100% of avaluable space.
May be transaction log located with data and I just can't see that ?
There is option on database edit window: Truncate transaction Log
and I want run it. The organisation don't interested in log. main thing is that the data will be safe.
Is it the right thing to do?
Tanks to everyone who can help
Hi,
I'm using sp_OAMethod to write to a text file, like this:
DECLARE @i INT, @File VARCHAR(1000), @FS INT, @RC INT, @FileID INT, @Date DATETIME
SET @File = 'E: extfile.txt'
EXEC @RC = sp_OACreate 'Scripting.FileSystemObject', @FS OUT
EXEC @RC = sp_OAMethod @FS, 'OpenTextFile', @FileID OUT, @File, 8, 1
EXEC @RC = sp_OAMethod @FileID, 'WriteLine', Null, @Date
This always appends to the file. I want to truncate the file and write to it afresh.
Please inform me how to do that.
Hi,
I've set up a number of jobs (not a maintenance plan) via a script in SQL 2005. These jobs do the following:
1) Full backup every sunday night
2) Differential backup every weeknight
3) Log backup every hour
The database is obviously in the full recovery model.
The backups all seem to be running, with one issue - the log file is still growing and is not being truncated. I was under the impression that a log backup should result in the log being truncated after each full backup. However, this does not seem to be the case.
Is there anything obvious I've missed that needs to be set up, or is there a way I can check that the full backup is actually setting the appropriate checkpoint and that the log backups are 'seeing' these checkpoints?
Thanks
2 Questions?
1. When I do a full backup, does that truncate my transaction log? Or does only a backup of transaction log will truncate a transaction log?
I am having trouble Truncating a Transaction Log. I`ve tried everything in Book Online.
I`ve backed up the database, I`ve tried DBCC SHRINKFILE, DBCC SHRINKDATABASE, BACKUP LOG TRUNCATE_ONLY ...etc, but it will not shrink. Any suggestions ? Thanks.
The log on one of my databases keeps filling up, even though I have it set to truncate on checkpoint. the only real difference between this database and the others on my server is that it is built from the dump of another database (on another server) where the tables are marked for replication.
I'm wondering if the fact it is built from a replicating database could be causing this. I've noticed I can't drop any of the table, even though my database isn't set to replicate (or publish).
two questions
1) Any ideas?
2) Is there anyway I can make my server realize I'm not replicating so it will let me drop those tables? (nothing in Enterprise manager indicates that my database is replicating or publishing).
Thanks,
Jim
I have an application that issues the following against a SQL server table called SQLTEST:
sqltest.TT_MEMO is a TEXT type field
mmvar has about 5k worth of character data
INSERT INTO SQLTEST (TT_MEMO) values (?mmvar)
PROBLEM: the mmvar is getting truncated to 1024 characters
What can I do to rid the truncation?

Hi
I just wanted to know can you truncate transaction logs in SqlServer 2000 and if so how is this done?
Thanks
I've got a Sql server 2000 box that currently backs up to tape in full every night. I also want to back the box up off site but not in full (as 30GB is a little too much to transfer every evening).
So my plan was to do a full backup to tape at 7pm then a differential at 8pm (to transfer off site).
The problem I am having is that after my differential has been done the logs get truncated so if I want to replay them for any reason I need to get that differential back to site.
Anyone have any suggestions please?
Greetings,
I am having a problem debugging an XML error we are getting in our production environment because I can't view the entire call to the stored procedure in Profiler. I have successfully traced the error, but when I go to the line with the call to the SP that caused the error, it doesn't show me the entire call. It only shows me the 'exec sproc_name and then the first 16 characters of the XML string parameter that is being passed to the proc. For some reason it's doing this to ONLY the stored procs that have XML parameters...on procs that use standard parameters, it displays the entire call correctly.
I have looked for some type of setting that controls this, but haven't been able to find it. I also have looked through many forums for this issue but to no avail. Does anyone know why this is happening? And, is there a workaround/fix?
Thanks in advance...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've noticed that when a dataflow task returns an Oracle LONG field. If the query involves one table, the LONG is returned normally. If the query involves any simple joins, the LONG will be truncated at the first 100 characters.
The Microsoft driver does work correctly.
Has anyone else experienced this with the Oracle driver and are there any known work-arounds?
