How to convert SQL trace files into excel files without doing any work on SQL Profiler / SQL server using any scripting code.
Consider that we only have SQL Trace files. What are the steps involved in converting into .CSV format using single "CLICK"

There must be a way to convert the binarydata field in the SQL trace outputto text data when the event type is a show plan. SQL Profiler does it buthow can it be done from an imported table?Danny

View 1 Replies View RelatedExperts, I've run a profiler trace on a production 2k5 server for two days, resulting in more than 4GB of 50MB rollover files. Profiler was run with default settings plus some columns and a filter for just one database by name.
I want to run Tuning Advisor over this huge log, but it seems that this tool can take one file at a time, but I need only one report instead of more than 80 with different suggestions.
I'm trying to discard event records that aren't "RPC:Completed", "SQL:BatchCompleted" and "SP:StmtCompleted", in order to generate only one trc file that sumarizes all my capture.
Is there a way to do that? Any tool available?
I was thinking about to use the "fn_trace_gettable" method, but I don't want to run the Advisor over a database. BTW, is it possible to filter during the "select into" or "insert" with a "where"? If so, what should I filter?
I can write a file manipulation tool for this task if I know the trc file format, but I didn't find that info. Any hint?
Thanks a lot...

Hi All,
I am stuck at one place, where I have to convert CSV format file data into SAP IDOC format file. In SSIS we don't have any such SAP adapter (though we have .NET Data Provider for mySAP suite [SSIS SAP Adapter] but this is still not fully supported by Microsoft, plus it doesn't have feature to convert data into IDOC format) that can do this. Can someone here please provide me some pointers on any third party adapters available in market to do this job or if anyone has already developed some custom approach to achieve this task?
Your quick response on this is highly appreciated.

I have a set of csv files and a set of Format Specification files for each of the csv files. I need to convert the csv files into another format of csv files as specified in the Format Specification files. All the columns of the input csv files do not have a mapping with the columns of the output csv files. How can I achieve this using SSIS ? This is an urgent requirement. Please reply asap. Thanks.
Hi,Is there a way to read a trace file with fn_trace_gettable ifthat trace file resides in a path that contains a space? For example,test.trc is accessible with fn_trace_gettable if it resides in c: races, but throws an error if the trace file is in c:my traces.Thanks.-Nada

Hi there - can anyone advise on the following issue. We have recently performed some server side tracing on a particular SQL instance over 24hr period. We are now attempting to load these into a database for analysis. Here lies the problem.
When we are loading the profiler trace files (one at a time) into the database the transaction log is growing at an excessive rate. Even though the database is in SIMPLE mode.
We are loading the traces using the command:
INSERT INTO sqlTableToLoad
SELECT * FROM ::fn_trace_gettable('MytraceFileName', DEFAULT)
Can anyone advise how we could possibly get round this issue as we're running out of space due to the transaction log.
Thanks
E.g, i have a store procedure. The start date is long date (4/15/2007 3:00pm). i want to select the start date with a particular date (short date format 4/15/2006). Thanks in advance.

I have a problem with bcp and format files.We changed our databases from varchar to nvarchar to support unicode. Noproblems so fare with that.

Hi, guys,
I need something that can be used in a select statement to convert a int value to binary display format, for example:
5 would be displayed as 0101, etc...
Thanks
Aloha !
I am posting this information simply as an FYI. This is in reference to the MS-SQL command "CONVERT"
I spent over 2 hours :rolleyes: screwing around trying to find out different ways of formatting dates from MS-SQL into something that makes sense for what I needed. I googled everything I could think of and found multiple references that said the info is available on MSDN.. but I could not find it. What I did find were thousands of relatively useless references to "format codes" for converting dates, but with no references to what the different format codes would ultimately yield, or what format codes were available to use.
What I ended up doing was writing a small script to generate a list of all of the variations I could find.
Below is the script, and the output that it yielded.
Now, before I get bombarded with "there is a better way" I know there probably is. But this is the way that I needed to do it this particular time. If there are technical errors in my explanation, anyone is welcome to correct them. But after 2 hours of messing with this for what should have been a super simple single .0009 second command, I am just irritated beyond belief that it had to be this complicated to find any useful information on the subject. That is why I am creating this. Hopefully it helps someone else.
The format for the MS SQL CONVERT command is :
CONVERT( length_of_output, date, format_code )
length_of_output : is exactly that . the number of characters that you want returned as your result. If you use a length of 6 you will only see the first 6 characters that are returned. I found the longest valid length to be 28 characters, but I went as high as 128 just for giggles and to see if it revealed any secrets.
date : is a valid date, I used directly the getdate() function
format_code : well.. that's the tricky part. See below.
What I did was ran a script that originally went from 1 to 20,000. It crashed at 15. Apparently the format codes are not totally sequential. So I put in an on error resume next.
What I found is that :
1) the codes are not uninterrupted sequential numbers.
2) the code output repeats every 255
3) negative numbers can be used, but its pointless.
4) useful valid codes are in the ranges of : 0-14, 20-25, 100-114, 120, 121, 126, 130 and 131
5) 0-25 typically represent "short dates" with the year being only 2 digits, but there are exceptions
6) 100 and above always returned a 4 digit year. the exception was 130 and 131, I don't know what it was trying to do.
Here is the script i ran
<%
on error resume next
for iintCounter = 0 to 256
SQL = "SELECT CONVERT(CHAR(128), getdate(), " & iintCounter & " ) as TheDate"
Set rsTheDateFormat = TheDatabase.Execute(SQL)
response.write SQL & " = " & rsTheDateFormat("TheDate") & "<br>"
set rsTheDateFormat = nothing
next
%>
and here is the output

The data file contains the answers given to questions asked during the course of an interview. This file contains data only for completed interviews. The file is ASCII based, and contains data in a card column format. This means that each record is spread over several rows in the file €“ called cards. Currently 39 cards make up one completed record, although this may change over time. There are 80 columns per row.
sample of data is as follows

Each table has a property "page break-before" enable.
When I execute the view-report in HTML 4.0 format, the reports are executed with success, but when I export to PDF format, the property "page break-before" inserts a blank page at the end of each sub-report. How can I do to suppress the blank-pages when exporting to PDF format ??

View 1 Replies View RelatedLet me start by saying that I'm brand new to SQL Server 2005 and SSIS. I'm using the import wizard in SQL2005 to import from a flat file into a table and everything works fine except for dates. A typical date in my flat file is 01-JAN-06. 01 represents the day of the week, JAN represents the month and 06 represents the year. The flat file also contains date values of 00-XXX-00 which represent no date. For example a column containing last purchase date data would look like this:"DateOfLastOrder"
"01-JAN-06"
"02-JAN-06"
"00-XXX-00"
"03-DEC-05"The value of 00-XXX-00 means that there is no purchase date.I want to bring these columns into my table and replace the 00-XXX-00 values with a NULL.
The table Data Type is datetime.

If I remove the 00-XXX-00 values and import something like this:
"DateOfLastOrder"
"01-JAN-06"
"02-JAN-06"
"03-DEC-05"
The import is successfull and the dates look correct in a querry.
SELECT *
FROM date
date
-----------------------
2006-01-01 00:00:00.000
2006-01-02 00:00:00.000
2005-12-03 00:00:00.000
(3 row(s) affected)
Does anyone know how I should go about getting these date columns into a datetime table and convert the 00-XXX-00 values into NULLs?
Thank you,

How can I format a date in the format 14AUG2007 ?
The data is comming in from a CSV as a string. I am happy to get the day and year, its just converting the month (eg "AUG") into I a valid number.
I was thinking Lookup, but that only seems to work against a datasource. I can create a lookup table for it to work against but that seemed a bit clunky.
Any other ideas gratefully received.
Thanks

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to open and read a text file using C#. Once I have read all of the values from the text file, I will need to insert some of those values into a SQL Server database table. One of the values read from the text file will be a date in the format YearMonthDay. For example: 20070601
So my problem is that I don't know how to convert this date into the date format that is expected for a SQL server datetime value.
Can someone help me out. How do I do this?
