Visual Formatting Of Data Returned From A SAP Database
Apr 3, 2014
I am working with extracting data from a SAP database, and I would like to perform some 'visual formatting' on the returned data. Because the SQL code that I am writing will be used in a custom Report it is not possible for me to use '3rd Party' formatting tools. Furthermore because the database is hosted on an MS SQL 2008 R2 RDBMS it is not possible to use the IIF() function.
Here is a sample of the data that I am getting back at the moment. URL...Here is how I would like the data to be returned (with the exception that the blue lines will ideally be blank cells). URL...
I have come to believe that I should be using the ROW_NUMBER() function, along with the OVER() function and possibly the 'partition by' keywords.Here is my original code -
Code:
select
td.ItemCode as 'Item Code'
, td.Dscription as 'Item Description', td.Quantity as 'Order Qty'
, titm.OnOrder as 'PO Qty'
, th.CardCode as 'BP Code', th.CardName as 'BP Name'
, th.DocNum as 'Sales Order Number'
, tsp.SlpName as 'Sales Person'
, twhs.WhsCode as 'Whs Code'
, isnull(tbloc.BINLABEL, '') as 'BIN Label', isnull(cast(tbloc.QUANTITY as nvarchar(20)), '') as 'BIN Qty'
code]...
Notice above that I only see the 'Seq' and no other data. How can I go about modifying this code so that I see all of the data columns I desire? If I further 'refine' the above, by adding case statements and the individual columns that I want to see (as opposed to using the * wildcard) I get a long list of error messages.

I need to return a single column (Name.company) but I want the data returned to be viewed in multiple columns.
First is that possible? Second if so how?
My data looks like this:
University X
University X - 1
University X - 2
University X - 3
College X
College X - 1
College X - 2
College X - 3
Cmty College X
Cmty College X - 1
Cmty College X - 2
etc.
How can I get it to return only:
University X
College X
Cmty College X

I have a strange problem. I have some code that executes a sql query. If I run the query in SQL server query analyzer, I get a set of data returned for me as expected. This is the query listed on lines 3 and 4. I just manually type it into query analyzer.
Yet when I run the same query in my code, the result set is slightly different because it is missing some data. I am confused as to what is going on here. Basically to examine the sql result set returned, I write it out to an XML file. (See line 16).
Why the data returned is different, I have no idea. Also writing it out to an XML file is the only way I can look at the data. Otherwise looking at it in the debugger is impossible, with the hundreds of tree nodes returned.
If someone is able to help me figure this out, I would appreciate it.
1. public DataSet GetMarketList(string region, string marketRegion)2. {3. string sql = @"SELECT a.RealEstMarket FROM MarketMap a, RegionMap b " + 4."WHERE a.RegionCode = b.RegionCode"; 5. DataSet dsMarketList = new DataSet();6. SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection(intranetConnStr); 7. SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql,sqlConn);8. sqlConn.Open();9. SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd); 10. try11. {12. adapter.Fill(dsMarketList);
13. String bling = adapter.SelectCommand.CommandText;//BRG 14. dsMarketList.DataSetName="RegionMarket"; 15. dsMarketList.Tables[0].TableName = "MarketList"; 16. dsMarketList.WriteXml(Server.MapPath ("myXMLFile.xml" )); // The data written to 17. myXMLFile.xml is not the same data that is returned when I run the query on line 3&4 18. // from the SQL query 19. } 20. catch(Exception e) 21. { 22. // Handle the exception (Code not shown)

Dear Friends,
I want your help to know the best way to cache the data of a dropdownbox returned by a SQL Query.(SELECT FIELD FROM DBO.TABLE)
This data returned by database is used in more than one dropdown on multiple pages. I want to cache only the dropdown control, not the entire page. Which is the best way to do it? The data isn't refreshed often, probably once per month.
Could you tell me the best way?
THANKS

Does anyone familiar with a tool or a quick way to put apostrophes and commas around some values, so they could be used in a query ? Example, if I have a bunch of zip codes such as:
10001
10003
10009
54321
89043
etc
Let's say I have a couple of hundreds of them. I need to be able to see them as -
'10001','10003','10009','54321','89043' etc
Appreciate very much your time.

Hello Everyone,
I have been requested to take a number of columns and concatenate them into one column with a specifc format/layout. For example I need to take this, (noting all columns are of different datatypes:
col_1 col_2 col_3 col_4 col_5 col_6 col_7
PK #1 John Doe 123 Elm Street Anywhere NM 55660
#2
#3
etc..
...and create this on a different table (noting col_2 is of datatype "text":
col_1 col_2
PK #1 John Doe
123 Elm Street
Anywhere NM 55660
#2
#3
etc..
Can this type of formatting be done?
I know how to concatenate data and use the convert function, but how do you add in CR-LF to get the proper formatting??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,
I have data in a SQL Server table of type varchar(6). Each record in the column is a number of 2, 3 or 4 digits.
e.g. 22, 130, 1000, 60 etc...
I want to update all the values in the column so that they are always 4 characters long and have leading zeros.
e.g. 0022, 0130, 1000, 0060 etc...
How could I go about doing this?
Thanks

I created the following, which emails out a query from a SQL 2005 database.
It works fine, but is there anyway to change the formatting to look more like a table?
Such as:
ESSSEQUENCE: 2000
MaterialType: 900
ESSPrefix: 01
PartDesc: Test
Project: 2833
PM: Jeff House
Here's the following code I'm using that sends the data as text and you can't tell what column heading goes with the data because it's kind of all over the place.
Any help would be appreciated..
declare @q as varchar(255)
select @q = 'select ESSSequence, MaterialType, ESSPrefix, PartDesc, Project, PM
from ESSPartNumLog
where ESSSequence = (SELECT MAX(esssequence) FROM esspartnumlog) '
exec msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
@recipients = 'tengel@pivotint.com',
@Profile_name = 'DatabaseEmail2',
@subject = 'New record added in ESSPartNumLog',
@query = @q,
@execute_query_database = 'Engineering'

Hi all,
I have a question about using FOR XML and sp_makewebtask. This (see below) is a simplified example where I have a table with 3 columns, the two first columns hold varius data and the third column (Subdata3) holds duplicated data.
My question is: Is it possible to transform the hierachy of data (see "Prefered XML output" for details) when transforming from SQL to XML using either FOR XML EXPLICIT or by using some sort of more advanced sp_makewebtask template (or some other technique perhaps)? And if, how? Any help welcome!
Cheers,

Hello,
I'm looking for solutions to a formatting problem.
I have two stand alone textboxes on a report body that I would like to have display side by side with very little white space between them.
Example: TextBox 1 contents (variable length) = "Muddy Waters"
Textbox 2 contents (variable length) = "B.Sc"
Current display: Muddy Waters B.Sc
Desired display: Muddy Waters B.Sc
Here is my problem.
Simple concatenation of values into 1 textbox would work if the font size and font family were the same for both textboxes; unfortunately this isn't the case. The font size and family for each textbox is different. Is there a richtext control I can place on the report and load with preformatted rich text?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Roy M

Hi,
I am saving a couple of paragraphs of text into a varchar(max) field in a SQL database table. But when I try to use display the information again, then all the linefeed and return characters seem to be removed. How do I keep this text formating in the database field?
I am sure that I am missing something simple here, but I can not figure out what. Can someone please help with some advise?
Thanks

HI all.
I have a web service that does an SQL select against a database that contains international data, however when this is displayed from the web service the text such as "Rue Emile Féron 168" is not shown correctly and the 'é' is shown as a comma. Can someone advise what changes I need to make to the coding. Also our own tables have varchar fields and I'm assuming the "é" data will be saved correctly ???
Thanks

I have a subreport within the details section of my main report. This is enclosed by a single group. When I preview the subreport alone, it diplays the subreport correctly with no data (meaning it still displays the header and footer without a detail section). When the subreport is run within the main report and no subreport data is returned the subreport does not show.
Based on other threads I understand that the default functionality is to display headers and footers when no data is returned. This appears accurate except on a subreport.

In my SSIS package, I connect to an external SQL server database. This external database supports a stored procedure that I need to execute to "retrieve data". So in my package, I set the DataAccess Mode property of my OLEDB datasource to "SQL Command" and I provide the command EXEC <proc_name> <Param>,<output_param>. (The proc has an output parameter). The preview shows all the columns and data, but somehow no columns are returned....so when I try to link this data source to a copy column task, I get an error saying the source does not have any columns...any idea why this could be happening. Thanks - Manmeet

Hi All,
Is there a way to hide a column if there is no data for that column? Suppose that I have a SP (lets call it wrapper) which will call multiple SP's. But for any one run, there'll be only one SP which is called. But the columns returned by these SP's is obviously different. So, in order to accomodate the output, can I create a table, add all the possible columns to it, and set the properties of the individual columns such that they will be hidden if there is no data in them? Example, SP 1 returns - ServerName, Location, OS ; SP 2 returns ServerName and location only. Now if the wrapper SP calls only the second SP (SP 2) can I configure in such a way that the third column (OS) is not displayed at all? (In normal cases, it would appear but without any data in it)...
Hope the question is clear... Thanks a lot..
Manoj.

Source type: File connection
SaveOperationResult: True (file destination)
SecondOperandType: Direct Input
PutResultInOneNode: False
XPathOperation: Values
The XML file I'm testing has the following stucture:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<BackupDataSet xmlns="http://tempuri.org/BackupDataSet.xsd">
<Device>
<DeviceID>6356452a-e7a6-42e1-895a-d4ade62210d5</DeviceID>
<UserID>1533c44f-c263-db11-9db3-000e9bd9f98d</UserID>
</Device>
</BackupDataSet>
When I set the SecondOperand to /* the output is a concatenated text string of DeviceID and UserID values. I'm trying to get just the DeviceID but perhaps my understanding of XPath syntax is wrong. I've tried setting the SecondOperand to the following:
//Device/DeviceID
/BackupDataSet/Device/DeviceID
//DeviceID
All of these return no results. What am I doing wrong?
Regards,
Greg

Hi
I have two questions : 1) Linking SQL Server Databases
2) Data Formatting like InputMask
1) I want to know if there is a way to link two seperate SQL server databases (it's tables) within the same server (local server). I created one Global database - with clients, etc. tables. The reason I did it like this is that I have to handle three seperate invoices databases, but using the same clients, etc. tables to get their information from. I used MS Access like this, linking Clients, etc tables from the Clients Database with the three other Databases. It worked fine but now I need some new features like setting the InvoiceNumber to something different, eg . 04/0001 for this year and then 05/0001 for next year. My Access databases can't change this numbers - it's just a autonumber I used. I know some Visual Basic code can make a change like perhaps adding a new column like InvYear and then adding it together with InvoiceNumber to get the Invoice Number, but I want to change it to SQL Server because I want to learn how SQL Server works. I am just starting out and not doing courses.
2) The other thing is I want to know if there is some feature in SQL Server to make data input easier, like a InputMask in Access where you can let a text column be formatted as you want. Eg. for a telephone number, it can store it in the format you made; like (011) 123 4567, not like you typed it : 0111234567.
I would appreciate some help.
Thank you
Corné

I need to export some Database data into a text file. My Query looks like this:
SELECT Category1, Category2, Category3
FROM dbo.tbl1
WHERE Category1 = 'JP-4'
AND Category2> 4;
This works fine to get the data, however there is some html formatting in the table entries such as
`<p>,</p>,
,</br>` etc.
So ideally I need to remove those when exporting the data to the text file. I've tried to do it with a simple replace query but that didn't work. I've also got an issue with line splits and would need to remove the ( ).
The Data format is something like this:
Category1: JP-4
Category2: 4
Category3:<p>Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor</p> <p>amet, consectetur, adipisci velit</p>
Category4:<p>Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor</p>
I got it to work like this with the replace function:
SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE("PHOTOGRAPHS",'<p>',''),'</p>','')
FROM dbo.khia_tbl
WHERE Category1= 'JP-4'
AND Category2> 4;
But the issue is that I've got 15 columns in total and that I need to do it for several different tags for each column so
,
</br>,
as well as "" and different spaces so that would be a lot and I thought there must be a better/more efficient way of doing it...

'17686568 - Bill Statement - 11/16/2006 - Stm. Date - 10/27/2006'
Above is the data string that I am trying to pull the information from. Here is the function I'm currently using:
cast(substring(c.itemname,charindex('Bill Statement - ',c.itemname)+18,10) as varchar)
...which gives me what i want most of the time, but beacuse the date is not equally formatted through out the database and the date can look like 5/4/2012 and using the above formula it will show up as 5/4/2012 -
So my question is how can i trim off the dash part when the data shows up like 5/4/2012 - ?
