I have an XSLT transform that works perfectly using the msxsl.exe utility.
When the same XSL file is run through an SSIS XML transform, the character spacing and carriage returns embedded in the XSL templates are mostly (but not completely) dropped.
Any comments on why SSIS is behaving differently than msxsl.exe? What to do?
I want to delete and recreate the master Database Device for purpose of shrinking the size of the device . I dont want to loose the Master db.
I thought of transfering the Master db to a different device, Delete and recreate the master device and then tranfer back the master db . and this is all done through the MS SQL enterprise Manager (SQL 6.5 ) Is this the safest eay to proceed with this task?
Can I use the XML task in SSIS to create an excel document? If so which operation type is best to do it with, XSLT?
I'm trying create excel files dynamically with nothing more than a SQL statement that I'm passing as a variable which generates XML. I would then like to take that variable and combine it with a template and create an excel document. Any help would be appreciated. I do not want to use the data flow because it requires all transformations ahead of time.
I've got an xml and an xslt - I want to get that into reporting services. Right now I have a link to the xml file in a 'report', which will open it correctly and format with the xslt. I'd like it to display without going to an external link.
I know how to use an xml datasource, but I need the xslt applied, since it has some nice formatting in it - so i don't think that will work.
I'm trying to report on the results of a scripted ms baseline security analyzer of several servers - the style sheet lets you drill down and has links to the base reports.
I've a xml file and I want to substitute some of the values from database in this xml using XSLT transformation making use of XML task. How can this be achieved?
I'm writing some code to generate RDL based on a set of existing tables that define reports. (Headings, columns etc.)
The options I'm exploring so far for doing this are as follows:
Use XMLTextWriter class Use XMLDocument class Use XMLSerialiser to serialse a set of classes made with XSD.EXE and Use XMLSerialiser to serialse a set of classes made with XSDObjectGen Use XSLT to convert MyReportDefinitionDataset.GetXML into RDL
Has anybody else out there seen other code that does anything like this or in general has any suggestions to help me narrow these options down?
Note:
I am hoping to allow users supplying RDL their own files as templates enabling them to define things like report header and footer etc. My code will take the Table element from the template RDL and replace it with my generated XML (Headings and columns etc.)
Any suggestions/help/existing sample code appreciated.
In the XML Task if you set the OperationType to XSLT, how do you pass arguments to the Transform like you would in .Net by using the XsltArgumentList class? Thanks.
Where does output from <xsl:message> stylesheet elements go? It's not in the Progress or Output window, and there doesn't seem to be a property that controls the destination for messages.
I'm reading over this thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1884062&SiteID=1
and I'm kinda lost as to what to do to strip out the dtd from an XML file I am downloading. I do NOT know XSLT and for that reason, I can't follow his logic.
My SSIS package downloads my XML file just fine, now I need to do a strip of the DTD line in my XML Task.
The person who provided the solution in the above post said to do this...
Code Snippet Operation Type: XSLT Source Type: Variable Source: Variable's name containing the xml text Save Operation Result: True DestinationType: Variable OverwriteDestination: True Destination: Variable's name which is to contain the original xml minus the DTD. SecondOperandType: Variable
That stuff I understood. I'll replace variables with my files because they are stored that way, but from what I can tell, that's not my problem.
The stuff he says below this comment is going over my head like a ton of bricks. I can't figure out how to do it.
This is the kind of line of my XML that I want to strip out.
https://www.myaddy.com/pbdr.dtd"[]>
and then he said this...
Code Snippet Since XSL doesn't know about DTDs, telling it to copy everything strips out DTDs. Then use the Variable specified in the Xml task's SecondOperand as the Source data for the xml source.
A note on how to paste a multi-line xml document into a Integration Services String variable:
Integration Services String variables textboxes are not multi-line, in the Windows sense of a line (CR+LF),
So, in order to paste multi-line text (which xml docs almost always are), save a temporary copy with a unix line ending.
That is, create an xml file in visual studio, and paste your sample original xml in there. Go to File/Advanced Save options, and save the xml with the the settings of Encoding: Unicode (utf-8 without signature) - CodePage 65001, and most importantly, set the Line endings dropdown to "Unix (LF)".
After selecting "OK", copy and paste the text from Visual Studio's xml file editor into the IS variable, and you'll note all the xml data appears.
So can anyone walk me through a dummies version of what he is suggesting to do?
I have a simple report created with rs2005. I want to get the output exported (using the export options of rs2005) in a specific xml format, so I am using xslt transformation to get it proper.
My problem is that, when I'm doing this using my own machine (SQL Server 2005 32bit installed) everything works OK. BUT when I want to try it on a server that we are supposed to use it gives me a real bad error. On the server, if I have the report without using xslt, it gets exported OK but not in the correct format. I have tested the report on a 32 and on a 64 bit server, I have used either SP1 and SP2 but still can't get through. The error message appearring while I try to export in xml is "Server Error in '/Reports' Application. The XSLT path is invalid. It refers to an external resource, uses invalid syntax, or the XSLT was not found in the catalog."
I'm using some xslt documents to transform the xml output of my Reports but have come across two curiosities where the xslt filter seems to behave unusually.
Firstly, I need the final saved file to have an xml declaration, which I believe it should do by default. Even if I put omit-xml-declaration="no" in the xsl:output tag I don't get an xml declaration. At present we have a custom job that writes these declarations back into the xml after SRS has saved it.
Secondly and more importantly, I need to have some of my output tags wrapped in CDATA sections. I've tried using the cdata-section-elements attribute, again with no luck.
my XSLT looks something like this (simplified for space)
I need to convert an xml file that has an attribute(name). This xml file has to be converted using xsl into the XSLT file such that the tag should have the same structure along with it and its the tag-content also should be the value of the attribute.
Is there a way we can prevent a object owner from dropping his tables. Example:
There is a user called 'tom' who is given create table permissions, 'tom' creates the table completes his dev and then the table is moved into production where 'tom' is still the owner. However, in production, 'tom' does not have the create table privs. Because 'tom' is the owner of the table, he is still able to drop the table in production. This is what I am trying to avoid. I would like to retain 'tom' as the owner and want to take away his create/drop privs.

I need to drop a database but cannot because there are 2 open connections that I cannot drop via EM. Is there a way to do this without starting and stopping??
After I drop the database, I backed up the master database, I recreate the database with new name. When I tried to do the import on the command level, It gives me the error: Attempt to locate entry in the sysdatabases for database 'db1' by name, failed -- no entry found in that name.
Hi I am using SQL server 7 database and ASP as front end. I run an application where a text file is loaded into database. After this is done procedures are run to create a set of tables that have snapshots of the data in the text file.. each time i load a new text file i want to create the snapshots.. i hve written a stored procedure to create tables and insert values into the tables.. however how do i delete the tables i created the previous time.. the number of snapshots and their names will depend on the size of the text file.. how do i refer to all the snapshots created and drop them all before creating new ones? plese guide regds
I have a database that is giving me a bad Index error. When I go to drop the necessary Index it is telling me that it either does not exist or cannot be dropped. However when I try to build that index, it tells me one already exists.
Is there any way to drop all of the indexes or at the very least see what the indexes are? This particular database is using 2005 Express.

Alter Table Table_Name NO CHECK constraints ALL.
Once I execute the above one, it says, "Successfully Executed" but when I try to drop it doesnt allow me and gives me the following error:
Server: Msg 5074, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The object 'DF_Users_Created_by' is dependent on column 'CREATED_BY'. Server: Msg 4922, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN CREATED_BY failed because one or more objects access this column.
I think the answer to this question will be something like 'you'll have to re-initialize the subscribers', but I need to ask anyway...
I created a publication where my foreign key constraint we NOT created with NOT FOR REPLICATION. My publication is configured to replicate DDL changes. Is there any way I can drop and re-create the constraint in the publisher and get replication to push the change to the subscribers?
I have trouble dropping a job that was a maintence plan.
I get the following error. Is there a way around this?
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio ------------------------------
Drop failed for Job 'Maintenne Plan'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)

I am trying to run a dymanic DROP DATABASE <dbname> command in a stored procedure called from ASP.NET. I typically connect from the .net using a SQL builtin account. I am getting this error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot drop the database 'db_testco', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.
The database is there for sure asI can browse it via the Studio manager. What permission do I need to set for my .net login to allow it to drop ? I tried adding the Delete permission to the database and still no go...
I have a table with multiple column and has millions of rows in it(say about 50 millions ) and its in production. What is the best way of dropping the a column from the table without impacting the systems performance. Remeber this table will be used some application to get some data out of it.
I think I am doing something wrong. I am trying to make the trigger fire when I want to drop the same trigger. For example I have the following trigger defined:
USE AdventureWorks2000
GO
CREATE TRIGGER Incheckstock
ON DATABASE
FOR DROP_TRIGGER
AS
PRINT 'You must disable Trigger "Incheckstock" to drop Trigger!'
ROLLBACK
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS OFF
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF
GO
ENABLE TRIGGER Incheckstock ON DATABASE
DROP TRIGGER Incheckstock
ON DATABASE
I created the trigger Incheckstock and i want to see if the same trigger fires itself if when i am trying to drop the trigger with the same name (kind of recursive one). Is this possible in SQL 2005?. If I asked a dumb question, please correct me.
