I was wondering if it is possible to create a variable that holds the filename as an expression. I am using a For each loop to pick up files and i want to insert the 'Filename' as a colum in to the destination Table so that i can differentiate among the rows in my destination Table.
Using the 'Derived Colum' in DTS I can link the colum to a variable. However i do not know how to create the variable which will dynamically store the filename for each file....
Any Clues...
Would really appreciate the help.....
Or is anyone knows any other simple way of inserting the filename as a column in the destination Table ...Been stuck on this for a while...
I would like to change the logical filenames for a database on my test server. I know this is done with ALTER DATABASE, but I'm not sure of the exact syntax. Can anyone help?
I'm using SQL2005 and need to script a bunch of Tables (and possibly other objects) to files. I can't make one big file with all the objects in it. I need to create an indiviual file for each object and each filename needs to be something like dbo.objectname.sql. I will be checking each file (object script) into VSS. Can someone tell me how to do this withouth having to manually generate a script for each object? Is there a way to check each object you want scripted and the SSMS spit out a file per object?
Hi all, I want to find the list of filenames associated with the SQL server instance programmatically. As VDI is concerned with taking backup of SQL server. Can we find the list of filenames associated with a DB using VDI ? or Is there any other way to know filenames?
I have a usertable which adds anyone whom is new to the records. However the site has had quite an increase in traffic and the stored procedure (SP) The problem is that if two new users call the SP with say a second of each other the sp tries to enter the same user key.
The sp basically checks the last id and add 1 on to it.. Simple but inbetween checking and interest someone else is doing the same creating a violation ...
Basically ineed to put a hold on the select and intert until complete... A sort of que up ...
Sorry if it a dumb question...
ps i've read about changing the entire conection but i only need it for this SP...
A database was set up as a test database and then the database name changed but the logical and physical filenames still have test in their name - obviously not a good idea. I have tried to change the physical file name but get the error message that the physical file name cannot be changed once the database has been created. I have also tried detaching the database and renaming the mdf and ldf files but these could not be re-attached so had to revert back to the original names.
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I have to restore a full database backup from October 1, 2005 and then over 4400 transaction logs to bring a database up to Jan 01, 2006 on a development server (storage team lost all daily full backups from 10/02/2005 to 01/01/2006). Since the backups were not taken on this machine originally, the information I would pull from the sysjobhistory tables to get the transaction backup names is not available. Does anyone have a link or a script to pull the filenames from the backup directory into sql server so I can build a dynamic script to apply the tran logs instead of running all 4400+ of them by hand? Thanks, Tom
I am trying to break apart a list of filenames that was inserted into a database. It only breaks out the first one then moves onto the next record. If I do them individually then seem to work but not the whole table when queried. I need to break out each file into a temp table then insert them into a documents field in a database.
my filenames look like so and can have from 1 file name to 10 file names in the string.
This is my current method, I needed to create a cursor around it to go through all the records, split out the filenames and insert into a temp table. But if there is a better way ill do it. The problem with this is only the first file is getting inserted into the temp table and nothing else even if the filename has 4 files in it.
Create table #tempFiles (OldStrId int, OldPercent int, strfilename varchar(max), RequestId int, OblId int) declare @OldStr int, @OldPer int, @FileName varchar(max), @intcount int; Declare filenames CURSOR FOR Select intSTRBonusID, intPercentID, strFileName from tblSTR where strFileName > '' UNION ALL Select intSTRBonusID, intPercentID, strFileName from tblSTRHist where intPercentID in (61,62) and strFileName > ''
It's very easy to make a generic xml configuration file for the connection to the database for all packages my project contains. The connectionstring is the same for all these packages
Now I want to do the same for all flat file sources I have in my project where the connectionstring is not the same for all packages.
For example I use the following flat files in my project:
c:AAA.txt
c:BBB.txt
c:CCC.txt
If I move the packages to the production database the flat file sources are located in another directory.
So in fact for the flat file sources there is a generic part for all files (in this case 'c: ') and a specific part ('AAA.txt', 'BBB.txt' and 'CCC.txt').
Can I indicate this in the package configurations sections? And how?
Hi,I have tables named like ag97a027, ag98a027, ... where 97 and 98 isfrom year 1997, 1998 and a027 is just specification of product type. Ineed carry out repeated operataions over these tables. To generatetheir names is easy, for exampleuse [P5-01]declare @Yint int, @Y char(2), @tabName char(8)set @Yint = 1997while @Yint < 2002beginset @tabName = 'ag' + substring(convert(char(4),@Yint),3,2)+'a027'print @tabNameset @Yint = @Yint + 1/*select *from @tabName*/endprints properlyag97a027ag98a027ag99a027ag00a027ag01a027but when I uncomment the select statement, MS-SQL server responds:Server: Msg 137, Level 15, State 2, Line 11Must declare the variable '@tabName'.How to use @local_variable for browsing through tables in abovedescribed way?thanksMartin
I have a select statement and I would like to know which when clause(1st set of whens) was fired and the value of the then for further use in my query. I am wondering if this is possibly, and how it would be done. If i try and set a @variable at the beginning of the case statament i get an error, here is my query SELECT PIE.productID, PIE.quantity, CEILING((PIE.width/12.0)/0.5)*.5 as width, CEILING((PIE.length/12.0)/0.5)*.5 as length, ***throws an error**** @sqft = CASE --- but the then clause of this CASE is the value i want for later use in this same query WHEN CEILING((PIE.width/12.0)/0.5)*.5 > (2.0 * (CEILING((PIE.length/12.0)/0.5)*.5)) THEN CEILING((((CEILING((PIE.width/12.0)/0.5)*.5) * 1.5) * CEILING((PIE.length/12.0)/0.5)*.5)/1.0)*1.0 WHEN CEILING((PIE.length/12.0)/0.5)*.5 > (2.0 * (CEILING((PIE.width/12.0)/0.5)*.5)) THEN CEILING((((CEILING((PIE.length/12.0)/0.5)*.5) * 1.5) * CEILING((PIE.width/12.0)/0.5)*.5)/1.0)*1.0 ELSE CEILING((CEILING((PIE.length/12.0)/0.5)*.5) * (CEILING((PIE.width/12.0)/0.5)*.5)/1.0)*1.0 END AS sqft, CASE WHEN @custMarkup = 1 THEN (SELECT PML1 FROM ProductMarkup PM WHERE PIE.productID = PM.productID) WHEN @custMarkup = 2 THEN (SELECT PML2 FROM ProductMarkup PM WHERE PIE.productID = PM.productID) WHEN @custMarkup = 3 THEN (SELECT PML3 FROM ProductMarkup PM WHERE PIE.productID = PM.productID) WHEN @custMarkup = 4 THEN (SELECT PML4 FROM ProductMarkup PM WHERE PIE.productID = PM.productID) WHEN @custMarkup = 5 THEN (SELECT PML5 FROM ProductMarkup PM WHERE PIE.productID = PM.productID) END AS markup FROM ProductsInEstimate PIE WHERE estID = @estid
I am new to SQL server so apologies if this is a stupid question.
I have a website built and hosted by another company, with SQL server back end data. They don't want to analyse the data but I do. I am familiar with SQL and have SQL server express running on my laptop.
So I was thinking I could get them to send me the data from the server (it will be less than 1GB I imagine), and I could analyse it myself.
So my questions are:
will this work?
and what do I ask them to send me? Is it just a couple of files they have to copy and send me? Or is it more complicated than that?
We need to pull from a table that is named tablename_mmddyy and populate a table with the same format tablename_mmddyy. The date will be different every month so I want to be able to build the tablenames every month. Is there a way to do this in SSIS? Thank you.
I am importing Differennt Excels Files into table. my require ment is after importing completed I need to insert all these Filenames ,File creation date into table. (for Auditing).
I need retrieve only strings that hold the sub-string in middle. no first no last just middle.
See: the sub-string is "test"
Yes: test test test Yes: take test test Yes: test test take Yes: take test take No: test test No: test take take No: take take test No: test
I prepare sample data...
declare @sample table(s varchar(50)); insert @sample values ('test test test'), ('test test'), ('test'), ('test take test'), ('test take take'), ('take test test'), ('take test take');
We have an asp.net app with about 200 data entry forms. Customers mayenter data into any number of forms. Each form's data is persisted ina corresponding sql table. When data entry is complete, it needs to beprocessed. Here's where the questions start.How can we easily determine in which tables a customer has data and howbest to select that data?We're not opposed to putting all the data in a single table. Thistable would wind up having ~15 million records and constantly have CRUDoperations performed against it by up to 5000 users simultaneously.With sufficient hardware, is this too much to ask of the db?
I'm using a file Task to rename files to include a Month and Year in the FIle. Part of the requirement in the file name is a two digit month. I have the following query built which will return a two digit month regardless if it's a one or two digit month.
What is the most efficient standalone .NET class that can hold a single disconnected record? The class must also retain column names, but other schema is not relevant (.NET data type is sufficient).If I understand System.Data.Common.DbDataRecord, it provides an interface on a DbDataReader, and has no storage of its own.I'm familiar with DataSet, is that the only .NET-standard class to do this? Thank you,Shannon
select @cmd = 'select uid from ' + ltrim(rtrim(@db))'..sysusers where name = ' + "'" + ltrim(rtrim(@OldOwner)) + "'" exec (@cmd)
How can I use @OldID to hold on UID return from this statement.
When I try use: select @cmd = 'select @OldID = uid from ' + ltrim(rtrim(@db))'..sysusers where name = ' + "'" + ltrim(rtrim(@OldOwner)) + "'" then I'm getting a error message: @OldID not declare.
I have an ordering database with several tables that store data of orders belonging to a wide variety of clients. There is a generic report that I need to run which outputs the same data elements. However the criteria to select these orders will vary widely between each client. For e.g.
i) for client# 1 it could be all orders that are still open after 30 days of placing an order
iii) for client# 3 it could be a combination of different things (all orders in West Region that are in hold status for more than 10 days + all orders in Eastern Region that are in shipping and are expected to be delivered in the next 2 days + all completed orders for the rest of the regions).
( OrderRegion = 'West' AND OrderStatus = 'Hold' AND GetDate() - OrderHoldDate >= 10

I want to have a stored procedure that selects all data and dynamically attach the where condition at the end for filtering. This way I wouldn't have to worry about any additions/changes that are made to the selection criteria. I can build an interface for admins who can use the UI to maintain the selection criteria and not worry about any code changes to accommodate it. I would like to design a table that holds this criteria. At this point in time, I am thinking of using key value pairs (Column Name, Column Value) but I am not sure how to implement multiple logical operators.
I am not comfortable with DTS 2000 but I need to execute a encapsulated DTS 2000 package from a SSIS package. The real problem is when I need to pass SSIS variables to DTS 2000 package. The DTS 2000 package have 3 global variables that I can identify on " Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor - Inner Variables ". I believe the SSIS variables must be mapped on " Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor - OuterVariables ". How can I associate the SSIS variables(OuterVariables ) to "Inner Variables"? How can I do it? Much Thanks.
hi, like, if i need to do delete some items with the id = 10000 then also need to update on the remaining items on the with the same idthen i will need to go through all the records to fetch the items with the same id right? so, is there something that i can use to hold those records so that i can do the delete and update just on those records and don't need to query twice? or is there a way to do that in one go ?thanks in advance!
i have a database with about 20 tables. i appended to each table a column "UpdatedOn", and i want to write a trigger to set the date of the update date in that column, using a trigger.
i want to avoid the trigger launching for the last column (UpdatedOn).
how can i detect the rows that changed, and modify only the update date/time? i read something about TableName_Inserted and TableName_Deleted, but i would prefer to copy as generic as possible the data from there, meaning, not to write column names in my script.
another idea i thought about was to prevent the trigger executing if no other column except for UpdatedOn changed, but... i encounter some trouble, when i try to pass column name (as string) to UPDATE() function.(Error: Expecting ID or QUOTED_ID)
