Hi everyone
I'm wondering if there's a better SQL Editor than MS Query Analyzer on the market? I like a lot of the functionality provided by QA but want extra stuff like you get in VB6: intelli-sense (sytanx prompting), auto-complete (CTRL+Space provides list of sp's and tables, etc.) plus any other time saving features.
I've tried a few products but nothing quite hits the mark. Is there a program you use and recommend I trial?
Cheers - Andy

I like a new sql editor instead of the query analyzer.
The QA dont show the outlining, bracket injuctions and intellilist.
Help!
Wich editor able this functions?
Just curious,
What do all of you use to create and edit stored procedures? I am looking for a better way to code than to use the default window supplied with Enterprise Manager.
Do most of you use the Query Analyzer? Are there third party products you like using better?
Thanks for the info..

Does anyone know if it is possible to use the XML Editor in SQL 2005 to write xml files from scratch?
If possible, how is the editor being started?
As of my current knowledge, I am only able to start the XML Editor by clicking on the content of a XML data type column within the sql query result pane.
Thanks

hi,
I am using SSIS to extract data from sql server and import into MDB file. In
the process, under data flow task, I have used OLE DB Source Editor as source. Here
i have choosen SQL Command as mode of data population. In the box below i
have typed the following statements.
"Exec Site_Address"
I have used many temperory tables in this procedure.
When i run this procedure in the query analyzer window i get the desired data which has to be imported to an MDB. After typing the above statements and when i
click the button preview i can see the data. But when i click the
Columns.... i dont see anything there. I am unable to see any columns there.
This is getting to my nerves because, when i use OLE DB as Destination i am
unable to map the columns and i get an error.
I dont know how to solve this problem. cannot we map columns in temp tables .... or wat is it ??
Please help me to find a solution.
I will also paste the procedure code that i have used.
Create procedure Site_Address

Hi,
If I implement a custom editor by inheriting from UITypeEditor, Can I invoke it at RUN TIME from a standard control other than PropertyGrid, say a comboBox or a button ?
If it is possible, could you please let me know how to do it or could you please direct me to some URL which shows how to do it.
Do I have to create a custom control that inherits from control for doing this ?
Thank you.
regards.

Hi. Is there a T-SQL Editor for SQL CE 3.5 in VS 2008 other than the Query Designer?
I'm used to writing and running sql queries using the MSSMSE 2005 query editor and was looking for something similar in the VS 2008 as MSSMSE 2005 can't open sql ce 3.5 db files. I've found the T-SQL Editor (Data->T-SQL Editor) but unfortunately it only seems to work with regular SQL Server databases and not sql compact sdf files.
Am I missing something or is Query Designer the only way to go (I really hate how it messes with my queries and doesn't let me execute only parts of the queries I write :/ )?
I have just installed MS SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server Management Studio Express on my server but when I try to open a MDF file for manual editing I am told no editor exists. Is the software I have installed able to open a MDF file?

Help,
Trying to through a process together and using the "ForEach Loop" task. When configuring the task and using the ForEach Loop Editor I do not have the "ForEach File Enumerator" in the drop down. Anyone know whats going on or what I need to do to make this appear. I only see 5 selections: ADO, ADO.Net Schema Rowset, Variable, NodeList, and SMO Enumerators. I am also using the SQL 2005 eval with SP1.
Thanks,

Hi,
I am trying to load some text files to a SQLServer database. My text files are going to have a name like orders_200709.txt. I am trying to use variables and expressions to evaluate the datepart, YYYYMM. The problem I am facing is with the 'Property Expressions Editor'. When I click on the ellipsis ..., I get the editor, but I am not able to add a new expression; not able to view properites etc. Everything is like in a Disable mode. Does anyone know the cause of this?
Thanks
I have a custom component that has no editor (i.e. NoEditor=TRUE in DtsPipelineComponent attribute).
This component derives all of its metadata based on the input (hence no editor is needed). What this means is that if the input changes in any way (e.g. the datatype of a column changes) my component will fail validation. That's not a problem, the problem is my Validate() method returns DTSValidationStatus.VS_NEEDSNEWMETADATA but ReinitializeMetaData() is not being called.
I get the familiar warning from the component:
Warning 1 Validation warning. Data Flow Task: Normaliser: The component has inconsistent metadata. TestHarness.dtsx 0 0
and when I double-click on the component I get the familiar dialog box:
TITLE: Editing Component
------------------------------
The component is not in a valid state. Do you want the component to fix itself automatically?
------------------------------
BUTTONS:
&Yes
&No
Cancel
------------------------------
but when I click on 'Yes', nothing happens. RMD never gets called.
The workaround is to detach and reattach the input (which results in a call to ReinitializeMetadata() ) or set NoEditor=FALSE in DtsPipelineComponent attribute but I'd rather not have to do that because strictly speaking the user has no need to edit the component through advanced properties.
Is there another way around this problem? Is there a way to call RMD on a component that has no editor?
Thanks

This is my data set
PersonId Type (varchar 20)
153 NewlyEnrolled
58 8
248 Enrolled
857 23
I am trying to show an avg for all the numbers in the €˜Type€™ field
=avg(iif(Fields!Type.Value = "NewlyEnrolled" ORELSE Fields!Type.Value = "Enrolled", nothing, CDbl(Fields!Type.value)))
I get the error €œInput string was not in a correct format.€?
If I use:
=avg(iif(Fields!Type.Value = "NewlyEnrolled" ORELSE Fields!Type.Value = "Enrolled", nothing, 1))
It works and it returns €˜1€™
so the problem is CDbl(Fields!Type.value). i'm tring to convert it to a number so it can be used in the avg function.
any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Greetings, I am attempting to create a flat file delimited by |. I am using (ISNULL(LIN1_OPT_ADDR) ? "" : LIN1_OPT_ADDR + "| ") to replace the blank address column with the pipe delimiter. So that a row that would consist of:
Customer Number,Name,Address Line1,City,State
12345,ACE HARDWARE INC. ,801 Rockefeller St.,New York, New York
56789,BUILDING SUPPLY INC., ,Wichita, Kansas
Should end up as:
12345|ACE HARDWARE INC.|801 Rockefeller St.|NEW YORK|NEW YORK
56789|BUILDING SUPPLY INC.||Wichita|Kansas
When I run the data flow to create the flat file the file contains the following:
12345|ACE HARDWARE INC.|801 Rockefeller St.|NEW YORK|NEW YORK
56789|BUILDING SUPPLY INC.| | |Wichita|Kansas
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks.
I am confused with Precedence constraint editor regarding Evaluation Operation and Multiple Constraints options. In the Evaluation Operation dropdown list, there are: Expression and Constraint and Expression OR Constraint. Why it still needs LOGICAL AND and LOGICAL OR in the multiple constraints options? Is it clear that Expression and Constraint is "LOGICAL AND" and "Expression OR Constraint" is "LOGICAL OR"?

Dear Friends,
In my controlFlow I have 2 sequence container... Sequence1 goes to Sequence2 if an expression valuate to TRUE.
If the expression value is true, than there isn's any problem and sequence2 runs, but if the expression is FALSE the sequence2 container doesn't run.
OK?
In the case of expression valueate to FALSE I need to generate an error or an information in order to get it in the eventhandler automatic...
I can add a script task to make the package failure... but what I insert in the precedence constraint editor from Sequence1 to the scripttask?
Imagine... the expression from Sequence1 to Sequence2 is a>=b
The expression from Sequence1 to ScriotTask os a<b? (How can I define this only to run when the expression (seq1 to Seq2) is false??
Someone know how?
Regards!
I have a value with a float datatype in Excel that is actually a date. For example, the value displays 1272006 for January 27, 2006. I am trying to convert this value to a date. I can do this in several stages using T-SQL by converting the datatype to integer, using replicate to make it eight characters and than using substrings to make it look like 01-27-2006 which SQL Server will recognize as a date.
My problem is that there is nothing similar to a PAD (replicate) function using the Data Tranformation Editor in Integration Services. There is a replicate function but it merely functions to repeat a value. It doesn't appear to perform the same PAD function as the T-SQL replicate does. Here is my formula in T-SQL that works okay.
right(replicate('0', 8) + convert(varchar, cast([Date] as varchar)), 8)
I could do this by creating a staging table but I want to handle the entire transformation process within Integration Services. Can anyone offer me some advice? Thank you.

Howdy!
I am reading in a deliminated file. In the Script Transformation Editor, if the UPC does not past the checksum test, I want to throw the row out right then. I am not sure how to do that...but it is probably really simple.]

Hi,
Is it possible to make use of VB.Net for Applications and the VBA editor from your own Custom Transform Components (like the script component does)?
I would like to create a component that generates boiler-plate VBA code and that then allows developers to add their own specialised code in certain methods using the editor (just like the script component)
If so, is there any documentation anywhere on how to go about this?
Thanks in advance,
Lawrie
In Query Editor I type statements like this:
"select * from ...."
Does Query Editor support a "macro" facility where I could, via keystorke, uppercase all t-sql keywords? (so it would look like SELECT * FROM...)

Hi All,
I'm pretty new with SSIS. I have written some custom component which will read from flat file and write it into database. Between those processes, there are other processes which will analyse and transform the data being transfered. Everytime, I remove a column from upstream component, I have to go through each component to fix up column reference mapping using Invalid Column References Editor. There are lots of clicking involves just to remove a column from upstream component. My package has about 15 components. I am just wondering, is there anyway for us to prevent that editor to pop up, instead fixing invalid column reference programatically in ReInitializeMetadata?
Thanks,
Will
Hi, I am a new to Reporting Services...
I am using RS2000
I am trying to apply cint function in the expression editor for the textbox
eg. i type in =cint(Fields!firstfield.Value/Fields!secondfield.Value).
This is returning error
The value expression for the textbox €˜HoldDuration€™ contains an error: Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.
Could you please let me know what I did wrong in this and how to correctly apply VB or any custom functions in the expression editor where the expession output would be a decimal value and you are interested in getting an integer value by rounding the fractional part.
I am working on a situation similar to 'Get all from Table A that isn't in Table B' http://www.sqlis.com/default.aspx?311
I noticed that if one column's name of source table changes,(say Year to Year2) I have to modify all 'data flow transformations' in the task.
I am new to SSIS.
thanks! -ZZ
is there some way to access a corrupted database with a text editor so that I can copy over my text database to a new database file? I apparently have corrupted my file headers of both the online database and my backup copy.
Thanks in advance for your help
The default behaviour for pressing SHIFT + SPACE when editing text inside a cell in the Table Editor view in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express is to change focus to select all cells comprising the current row. This behaviour lends itself to the default behaviour for pressing SHIFT + {LEFT | RIGHT | UP | DOWN } in changing the focus to select adjacent cells.
However, I find this is quite annoying as the SHIFT + SPACE combination is quite a common miss-type when entering text in UpperCaps or when entering text with spaces while holding the SHIFT key.
Anyone else have this gripe with MSSMSE? Anyone know how to disable this behaviour?
